Kang Daniel is the face of Mexicana

Singer Kang Daniel has been chosen as a spokesmodel for fried chicken franchise Mexicana, the brand announced on Thursday.

“Kang Daniel was previously a model for Mexicana in 2017 as a part of Wanna One,” Mexicana said in the announcement.

“He had a positive influence on heightening the brand’s value,” it wrote as the reason the company chose Kang.

Fans of the singer will have a chance to enter to win a spot at a sponsored fan meeting event each time they order chicken from the franchise beginning Sept. 10.

Kang rose to stardom after being named a part of the 11-member boy band Wanna One in 2017, and kicked off his solo career in July with his first EP “Color On Me.”

Although he is still in legal dispute with his former agency LM Entertainment, Kang successfully launched his solo career by selling 460,000 copies of his album in the first week of its release, as well as being appointed as the spokesmodel for KT’s Galaxy Note 10 5G editions.
