TBH I'm quite good in waiting. I had been waiting for Kang Daniel many times already. During his hiatus, during lawsuit in 2019, every time after each album promotion ended & when he was busy recording. This time scares me a bit bcoz soon he'll be 28y.o. & soon he will enlist!๐ท pic.twitter.com/WC1lZM41Fw
