We Dem Boyz, the runner-up dance crew from Mnet’s “Street Man Fighter” (2022), signed with Konnect Entertainment, the agency said Friday.

Konnect Entertainment was founded by singer Kang Daniel in 2019 and represents artists CL, Yuju and Chancellor.

We Dem Boyz consists of members that were back-up dancers for Kang.

For Kang's upcoming album titled “The Story: Repackage Retold,” the singer revealed earlier this week that the dance crew will feature on one of his songs, “Nirvana.” The album drops on Nov. 24.

Kang debuted in 2017 after winning first place on Mnet’s hit K-pop audition show “Produce 101.” He and 10 other finalists formed the project boy band Wanna One, which disbanded in early 2019. He debuted as a soloist in July that year and has released songs like “Touchin’” (2019), “2U” (2020) and “Paranoia” (2021).
