Kang Daniel was a shy, sweet, sexy good sport in Singapore

Kudos to the idol for being game enough to consume a certain spiky fruit on stage.

<p>There were several notable firsts at Kang Daniel’s <em>Color on Me</em> fan meeting here last Friday night (Aug 16).</p>
<p>For starters, it was the former <a href="https://entertainment.toggle.sg/en/entertainment/hallyubuzz/photos/wann… One</a> member’s first visit to the Lion City since making his solo debut (and a very successful one at that) about a month ago. He also has the honour of being the very first South Korean star to hold a solo fan meeting in the Singapore Indoor Stadium, a venue typically reserved for full-fledged concerts.</p>
<p>He was even the first South Korean artiste to eat durian (a first for him as well) on stage.</p>
<p>That last one, as it turns out, was not originally in the programme. The emcee sprung the unexpected gourmet challenge on Daniel as a surprise, calling it a collision between “the king of K-pop and the king of fruits”.</p>
<p>The 22-year-old idol appeared genuinely confused at first (we would be too, if someone suddenly asked us to try a strange, spiky fruit that we’d never seen before), but clearly, backing out is not in his nature. After taking a quick sniff of a piece of durian and looking not at all disgusted by it (“Smells like fish!” he exclaimed), Daniel popped it into his mouth without hesitation.</p>
<p>The verdict? “Not bad!”</p>
<p>We don’t recall ever seeing such a calm and favourable reaction from a foreigner trying the infamous fruit for the first time, but Daniel deserves major props for the sole reason of being so daring and spontaneous in front of thousands of spectators.</p>
