On the 20th and 21st of last month, the band DAY6 held their first solo concert at Seoul's Gocheok Sky Dome, becoming the first domestic band to do so, creating unforgettable moments with their fans. This Gocheok Dome performance, achieved nine years after their debut, showcased their strength by selling out a total of 38,000 seats over two days.


The concert began with their early debut song "Colors." Hit songs such as "You Were Beautiful," "To Be One Page," and "Congratulations" echoed with the audience's chorus.


The newly arranged version of "You Were Beautiful," performed with an orchestra, added a warm winter emotion fitting for the Christmas season.


Throughout the performance, the members could not hide their emotions. Young K said, "In 2019, I watched (the Irish band) U2's concert here as an audience member, but today, we are standing on this stage ourselves," expressing his overwhelming feelings.


Wonpil became emotional and shed tears while singing their debut song "Congratulations," saying, "I am grateful just to be able to perform on this stage with the people I love."


This concert symbolized DAY6's growth story, as their journey that began in their debut year at the 1,000-seat Seoul Move Hall culminated nine years later in a large-scale venue like Gocheok Sky Dome. The fandom "My Day," gathered on site, created a galaxy-like spectacle by turning on their phone flashlights, making special memories with the members.

DAY6 closed the concert with an encore stage featuring their hit songs "Welcome to the Show" and "Melt," finishing the performance on a high note. Like the lyrics of their signature song "To Be One Page," the members and fans wrote another beautiful chapter of youth together.


Above all, this concert was meaningful as it marked the members' return as a full group after completing their military service, starting a new leap forward for both DAY6 and My Day.



Riding this momentum, DAY6 plans to embark on a world tour starting in January next year, with stops in Kaohsiung and Hong Kong, followed by Osaka and Tokyo in Japan, Manila in the Philippines, Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, Auckland in New Zealand, and Los Angeles and New York in the United States.
