DAY6 Celebrates 10th Anniversary with Spectacular 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.
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.
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.
'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.
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.
