During the talk, the hosts asked Kang Daniel about his 2-month break he had some time ago. 

Kang Daniel said, "Back in 2019, I suffered from depression and anxiety. At that time, I lost my appetite and passion for everything." 

He continued, "At that time, I kept thinking to myself, 'Why do I have to live? Is there a point of living?' I was living just because I was living, if you get what I mean." 

He resumed, "It felt meaningless to do anything. I even thought about leaving this industry for good."

Then, Kang Daniel shared how he overcame those tough times. 

The K-pop artist said, "I listened to a great number of songs during those times. I also spent much of my time watching performances by other artists." 

He went on, "As I kept listening and watching them, I slowly started to see the point of living." 

He added, "Then, one day, I was like, 'You know what? I'm going to sing and perform like them. I want to go on stage again.'"
