Inside Cafe DaNi: Why The Anyang, South Korea Coffee Shop Owned By Teen Top's Niel Is Creating A Buzz

Teen Top fans who find themselves in the South Korean city of Anyang, 35 miles south of Seoul, can drink beverages selected by band member Niel himself, at Café DaNi.

Niel opened Café DaNi in March, and according to the 19-year-old singer, whose real name is Ahn Daniel, this is only the beginning.

"I want to start a restaurant in the future," Niel told the host of the Seoul Broadcasting System radio show "Choi Hwa Jung's Power Time" on Tuesday.

"I also want to buy a building and start a gourmet restaurant. I want to manage an ice cream or tripe place as well."

Niel created a major stir among Teen Top fans, known as "angels," earlier this week when he reportedly mentioned at a fan club gathering that he would be serving customers at Café DaNi's, following the establishment's recently completed renovation.

According to the fansite oursupaluv.com, that could be as soon as this Friday.

And as if he needed yet another career, Niel's acting star appears to be on the rise as well.

Last week, actor Lee Jun Ki praised the Teen Top singer for his acting and work ethic during Niel's cameo appearance on the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation program "Two Weeks."

"Thank you to Niel for showing great acting even after waiting for a long time at a late hour," Lee wrote in a Twitter post. "It was good...I like your album too. See you again sometime."

Although, the singer's first career as a pop star seems to be going just fine. The new Teen Top album "Teen Top Class" has been earning the band even more throngs of devoted fans.

On Thursday, Niel and his Teen Top bandmates expressed their gratitude to their angels through handwritten notes.

"We are always thankful," Niel wrote. "We will continue to work hard. I love you."

"I love our angels who are always a strong source of support for us," was his bandmate Ricky's message.

"We are always very, very thankful for angels," Teen Top's Chunji added. "Thank you. I love you."

Teen Top singer Changjo's message to the fans was simple.

"Please continue to love us," he wrote.
