This further solidified Day6’s global reach and impact beyond their home country of South Korea.

Day6’s 9th mini-album “Band Aid”is a clever wordplay on the combination of “band,”representing a rock group, and “aid,”meaning “to assist.”

The four members, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon, collaborated in writing the lyrics and composing all of the songs. The lead single conveys the theme that “you”have the power to melt away feelings of despair and bring warmth to a freezing world. The track boasts a lively and upbeat melody, accompanied by heartwarming lyrics.

Following a successful launch with unprecedented achievements on its initial day of release, Day6 will carry on with their comeback activities and perform at Incheon Inspire Arena from September 20th to 22nd, marking the beginning of their third global tour, “FOREVER YOUNG.”
