K-pop idol Kang Daniel shocked the media last December when he announced he would be going into a temporary hiatus to seek treatment for depression and panic disorder.

After taking three months to recover through psychotherapy and medication, it seems the winner of Mnet's 2017 edition of the Produce 101 reality competition is ready to return to the spotlight, with a comeback scheduled this month.
