Kang Daniel Military Service 2026: Official Timeline
His agency, ARA, announced on Thursday that the 29-year-old star is ready to fulfill his duties. This news doesn't come as a total shock; during his sixth EP showcase in June 2025, he'd already hinted at his plans, expressing a desire to leave everything on the stage before his departure.
Having just wrapped up his final fan concert in Seoul last month, he's set for a mandatory 18-month stint in the military. It's the standard requirement for able-bodied South Korean men, but for global fans, it marks the beginning of a long wait.
A Grand Finale with Wanna One Reunion
He's not leaving without a bang. The iconic project group Wanna One is scheduled to reunite for a reality show in the first half of this year. Media reports suggest that Kang Daniel is currently negotiating his appearance in the early episodes to ensure he can greet fans as part of the group one last time before enlisting.
