DAY6 beautifully wrapped up the end of 2025 by celebrating their 10th anniversary with a successful 360-degree concert at KSPO DOME.
From December 19 to 21, DAY6 held three performances of their '2025 DAY6 Special Concert 'The Present'' at the KSPO DOME in Seoul's Songpa District. This marked their first 'special concert' in nearly a year since the '2024 DAY6 Special Concert 'The Present'' held on December 20-21, 2024, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a year-end party with fans. The final day on the 21st was also broadcast online via the Beyond LIVE platform.
Tickets for the concert were sold out during the fan club pre-sale for My Day (the fandom name) 5th generation on November 17. This follows their sold-out performance at the same venue in May for the 'DAY6 3RD WORLD TOUR < FOREVER YOUNG > FINALE in SEOUL', adding significant meaning to the event.
An Eternal 'Season of Us' for DAY6 and My Day
Opening the concert with 'I’ll Remember' from their 2017 project 'Every DAY6', Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon performed 'Better Better' and 'ONE', singing about past winters. With stunning visual effects depicting snowy landscapes, dancing auroras, and a shining sun, DAY6 invited the audience into the heart of their music. They expressed, "It's hard to believe 2025 is already ending. Celebrating our 10th anniversary has been truly meaningful. We've created unforgettable memories with My Day this year. This concert captures 'our season' as the year passes by."
The members shared, "My Day is like a gift to us. We wanted to give back, hence the concert name 'The Present'. 'Present' also means 'now', and this moment with you feels like a gift. We hope it feels the same for you." Through their diverse stories and songs, DAY6 connected with listeners, adding another special chapter to their journey.
Reflecting on warm spring days with 'Not Two, But One', 'How to Love', and 'Man in a Movie', they embraced the freedom of summer nights with 'Don't Let the Sun Rise', 'DANCE DANCE', and 'My Way'. They exuded vibrant energy with 'Not Fine', 'INSIDE OUT', and 'I Wait', and left a lasting impression with 'Get The Hell Out', 'A Sad Ending', 'Love Me or Leave Me', and 'Shoot Me'.
The members reminisced about autumn memories with 'Painful Road', 'In Front of the Stars', and 'Our Season', and dreamed of a hopeful winter with 'Fly! Dream Rider', 'HAPPY', 'Wish', and 'Bus of Dreams'. Solo performances and the band's live music enhanced the audience's immersion, while the voices of My Day flowing like starlight over the band's signature performance completed the scene. The phone flashlight event during 'Our Season' created a unique world for DAY6 and My Day.
Arriving on Santa's sleigh, the four members shared a special moment by making eye contact and giving gifts to the audience. The highlight of the special concert was the debut performance of their first seasonal song 'Lovin' the Christmas', raising the excitement to its peak. DAY6 continued with encore songs 'The Days We Were Happy', 'Healer', 'Beautiful Feeling', 'My Day', 'Free', 'Sing Me', and 'To Be One Page', showcasing their wide musical spectrum as a representative K-pop band.
'The Present' concert was filled with rich elements and a special year-end mood, enhancing satisfaction. The first day coincided with member Young K's birthday, leading to a surprise celebration. Young K expressed, "This will be one of the most unforgettable birthdays. Walking around the audience, I received all the congratulations I could ever want. I'm truly grateful and will cherish this as a driving force." The stage was decorated like a Christmas tree, and a VCR video of the members waiting for Santa added to the visual and auditory enjoyment.
Concluding their unforgettable 10th anniversary journey, DAY6 stated, "2025 was such a beautiful season for us. We tried to make it a great memory. We'll continue to prepare diligently to show you our best. Time with you is always so enjoyable that it flies by. Our way of giving back is through music, and we aspire to create great music as DAY6. Let's stay together forever."
Reflecting deep emotions ('INSIDE OUT'), DAY6 stands at the 'The DECADE' station, pouring their hearts out ('Take All My Heart') and drawing a blueprint for the future. DAY6 will continue their 10th anniversary tour 'DAY6 10th Anniversary Tour < The DECADE >' starting January 17-18 in Hong Kong, followed by solo concerts in Manila on the 24th and Kuala Lumpur on the 31st.
