Besides being known for their amazing choreography performances on stage, famous Korean bands also captivate audiences with their iconic and emotional stage numbers featuring live vocals and instruments.
One such group is the renowned Korean pop-rock band Day6, known for such hit songs as "You Were Beautiful," "Congratulations," "Zombie," "Shoot Me," and many more.
With the band's heartfelt and iconic songs, many K-pop stars have expressed their admiration for Day6's music, with some even covering their favorite tracks by the band.
Even if you're not into Korean music, you may have heard of Day6 through the OPM band Ben&Ben, with whom one of Day6's members collaborated on a rendition of the song "Leaves."

South Korean pop-rock band Day6 is (currently) a four-member group composed of Young K, Wonpil, Sungjin, and Donwoo. They started the band with six members yet due to past issues and personal reasons, former members Jae and Junhyeok left the group. Day6 is known for their heartfelt and iconic songs that even K-pop stars truly admire and make cover versions of their music.
They are under the Korean agency, JYP Entertainment which manages other famous K-pop groups: ITZY, TWICE, 2 PM, Stray Kids, Nizui, NMIXX, and Xdinary Heroes.
The band's official fandom name is MY DAY. Fun fact: Day6 even had a track titled "MY DAY" and dedicated a song called "Beautiful Feeling" to their fans.
Day6 is one of the K-pop groups that have unique fan-light merchandise. Instead of a traditional lightstick, fans wear their official wristwatch-style fan light, called a light band!
The Korean band debuted way back in 2015 with their first album, The Day. Their title track, "Congratulations" became a hit in the K-pop industry because of its heartbreaking message and addictive harmony. Trivia: Did you know famous K-drama actor Choi Woo-shik starred in their music video?
Besides heart-wrenching songs, Day6 produced several tracks as they explored different genres. They have songs with retro vibes (e.x. "days gone by"), hard rock (e.x. "I Wait"), summer vibes ( e.x. "I'm Serious"), and many more!
Day6 has a sub-unit group called Even of Day with members Dowoon, Wonpil, and Young K. They released songs such as "Where the sea sleeps," "Right Through Me," and "Darling on the Beach."
After years on hiatus due to their military training, Day6 finally made a grand comeback to the stage with their new album, 'FOURever.' Feeling emotional and excited for their return, MY DAYs wholeheartedly supported the band, resulting in all tracks from their album charting on music top charts like MelOn. What's even more heartwarming, Day6 expressed their gratitude for their fans' long wait in their title track "Welcome to the Show."
Born in 1993, Sungjin is the oldest in the band. He is the group's leader, main vocalist, and guitarist. Within the fandom, Sungjin is affectionately dubbed as the "dancer" of the group due to his tendency to bust out silly dance moves in front of the camera.
Main rapper and vocalist Young K takes on the role of bassist within the band. Having lived in Toronto, Canada, Young K adds an international flair to the group, most especially due to the fact that he's fluent in English. Notably, Young K is recognized for his collaboration with Ben & Ben on a special version of the song "Leaves."
In charge of both key instruments (keyboard and synthesizer) is none other than Wonpil. Besides being a musician, Wonpil is an actor who starred in the musical The Sun's Song together with SHINee's Onew, GOT7's Youngjae, and Lovelyz's Kei. He is also known for being the first Korean artist who signed up in the navy.
Day6's Dowoon has a knack for melting hearts with his adorable charm as the maknae (youngest) of the band. However, once he holds his drumsticks to play, a captivating Dowoon emerges as the drummer on stage.
The band visited the country twice for their Manila leg concerts in 2018 and 2019. Every concert they had in the Philippines was packed as Filo-My Days truly wanted to see their favorite band perform live on stage.
