K-Pop is slowly making it into mainstream music thanks to dancing and singing boy bands and girl groups coming out of Seoul. Day6 does not follow the same formula. The five-man pop-rock band is gaining global attention due to the vocal harmonization, catchy melodies and relatable lyrics. Since debuting in 2015, the band already topped
Billboard
's World Album chart and performed across the world through the Youth tour that made stops in Asia, Europe and North America.

Formed by Korean entertainment company JYP Entertainment, Day6 was originally composed of six members. The band was introduced in 2015 with a debut EP
The Day
, which became an instant success after peaking at No. 2 on
Billboard
's World Album chart. Vocalist/keyboardist Junhyeok left the group in 2016 before the release of Day6's second EP
Daydream
, which was heavily influenced by Junhyeok's departure as evident in the song Letting Go. The album cemented the boys' international success as it dominated Korean music charts and marked Day6's return to the
Billboard
charts. Day6 again created a new way within Korean music standards in 2017 with the Every Day 6 Project, a plan that would see the boys releasing two songs each month of the year. The project included songs like I Wait, You Were Beautiful and I Smile. The following year, Day6 made its debut in the Japanese music scene with the release of the song If -Mata Aetara- that was followed by a string of concerts across the country. The band also released
Shoot Me: Youth Part 1
and
Remember Me: Youth Part 2
in 2018, which was the third and fourth EP respectively. Day6 surprised fans in July 2019 with the release of its fifth EP The Book of Us: Gravity and the announcement of a second world tour.

'The five-man pop-rock band from South Korea consists of Jae on lead vocals and guitars, Sungjin on main vocals and guitars, vocalist/rapper/bassist Young K, Wonpil on keyboards, synthesizer and vocals and drummer Dowoon.'
'In June 2018, Day6 embarked on its 22-city Youth tour making stops in Asia, the Americas, Europe and Australia. The band performed a mix of its chart-topping singles and fan-favorite deep cuts that include Be Lazy, Better Better, Congratulations, Dance Dance, Days Gone By, Feeling Good, First Time, Freely, How Can I Say, I Like You, I Smile and Shoot Me.'
'Yes, the group announced in July 2019 that it will embark on a second world tour Gravity starting on August 9, 2019, in Seoul, South Korea. The tour will include stops in New York and San Francisco in the US, Singapore, Jakarta, Indonesia, Bangkok, Thailand, Milan, Italy, the Russian capital of Moscow and Madrid, Spain.'
'The Youth tour marked Day6's first time being on a global stage. Having two native English-speaking members is an advantage for the band. Jae and Young K mostly engage with the crowd, while the other members try to bridge the language barrier by speaking in some English and Korean. In terms of performance, the band's set goes from energetic to melancholic in a snap. It gives fans time to headbang, jump up and down and time to recover while the band serenades them with love songs like Congratulations and Man in a Movie.'
