Daniel

Daniel is one of the 15 public trainees in Reply High School, the Mnet reality project built around SM Entertainment's pre-debut team SMTR25. The show gave him a formal public runway before any final rookie lineup is locked, which matters in a company system where visibility usually arrives only after a debut plan is fixed. Through weekly episodes, performance clips, and the April 2026 OST rollout for We Go Up, Daniel entered the market as part of a trainee class already being tested in real time.

That positioning makes Daniel more than a background trainee. He is part of SM Entertainment's next-boy-group pipeline, attached to a project that already has music, variety content, pop-up activations, and live fan events moving around it. HITKULTR is tracking him at the point where trainee visibility becomes audience-facing momentum, with SM Entertainment and Mnet using Reply High School and We Go Up to turn pre-debut curiosity into early fandom.
