Currently, his album 'MAGENTA's is being shipped to a donation center. We have donated numbers in the amount requested by the donation center. We are the ones in charge of shipping the album.
Our team is currently participating in the donation event with good intentions and a good heart. Despite that, there are people who have taken photos of the process and used it to our disadvantage. The donation centers were happy about the albums donated and have taken the photos themselves.
To those who continue to use the photos to slander the artist or the fandom, we will be taking the appropriate legal actions.
We would like thank DANITYs who continue to support Kang Daniel and the team."
