Kang Daniel has taken legal action against Person A, the main shareholder of his agency, KONNECT Entertainment. Daniel, who also holds the position of CEO at KONNECT, has accused Person A of several charges.

As per reports from the music industry on May 20th, Daniel lodged a complaint with the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency against Person A. The charges include forgery of private documents, embezzlement, breach of trust, infringement of information and communication networks, and computer fraud, among others.

Person A is recognized as the real owner of KONNECT, owning about 70% of the shares as the main shareholder. Since its establishment in 2019, Daniel has been serving as the CEO of KONNECT.

The reason behind Daniel's legal action is reportedly due to issues with a prepayment distribution contract worth 10 billion won.

Daniel alleges that Person A forged his signature as the representative in December 2022 and stamped the corporate seal without his knowledge to enter into this prepayment distribution contract.

In the music world, a prepayment distribution contract is an agreement where a singer gets a large investment from a distributor and pays it back with the profits from music and album sales.

KONNECT received an investment of about 8.8 billion won in the first round through this contract. It's reported that Daniel, who released the album 'REALIEZ' last year and was active, has paid back about half and still owes about 4.5 billion won in investment money.

Furthermore, Daniel alleges that Person A withdrew a large sum of money from the company's account, misused the corporate card, and withdrew a large sum of money from Daniel's personal account without his consent. These allegations are included in the complaint.

Kang Daniel, a winner of Mnet's audition program 'Produce 101 Season 2', has been active as a singer, actor, and MC after his stint with the group 'Wanna One'.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
