Kang Daniel Unveils Last Album Before Military Service

Kang Daniel is closing out 2025 with a musical statement that highlights his growth as an artist.

His special album “PULSEPHASE,” released on December 12, marks a milestone: for the first time since his debut, Kang Daniel has written, composed, and produced every track himself. While he has long contributed to lyrics, this album sees him fully take the reins, offering fans an unfiltered glimpse into his personal musical universe.

Every element of the album—from its concept planning to track composition—bears his meticulous attention and heartfelt input. “PULSEPHASE” spans multiple genres, including Moombahton, EDM, Dancehall, and Pop, seamlessly blending bright, catchy melodies with raw and emotional storytelling. The inspiration behind each song is drawn from Kang Daniel’s experiences touring cities worldwide this year, giving the album a worldly yet intimate feel.

Notably, all five tracks, including the title track “BACKSEAT PROMISES,” are performed entirely in English, signaling his global aspirations. A track video for “BACKSEAT PROMISES,” released alongside the album, reflects Kang Daniel’s vision, translating his artistic ideas into a sensual, atmospheric visual experience that has already sparked excitement through its teaser.

Fans will get the first live glimpse of the album at his fan concert “RUNWAY: WALK TO DANIEL” on December 13, a symbolic stage that underscores the album’s authenticity and significance. “PULSEPHASE” drops on major music streaming platforms at 6 PM KST on December 12, offering a final, personal musical statement before Kang Daniel’s upcoming military enlistment.

This album isn’t just a release—it’s a testament to Kang Daniel’s artistry, versatility, and dedication, making it a must-listen for fans and music lovers alike.
