On February 17 episode of MBC's television show 'Radio Star', Kang Daniel made a guest appearance.
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."
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.'"
Kang Daniel returned to the industry in February 2020.
