DAY6 To Make History As 1st-Ever Korean Band To Perform At Gocheok Sky Dome

DAY6 is currently trending for their exposure, comeback, and newest feat. The band's new achievement also sparked reactions online.

On September 4, Korean news outlet JoyNews24 released an exclusive report stating that DAY6 is about to hold a concert at the Gocheok Sky Dome in December. The reports also drew the attention of JYP Entertainment, which confirmed the news.

"DAY6 is planning to perform at the Gocheok Sky Dome by the end of the year," JYP Entertainment shared with Newsen. "We will announce the specific schedule at a later time."

Debuting in 2015, DAY6 has come a long way since their introduction to the Korean music industry, gradually increasing the capacity of their concert arenas. Popular overseas bands such as Metallica (2017), Maroon 5 (2019), U2 (2019), and Queen (2020) have performed at the dome, and DAY6 is set to become the first Korean band to do so.

In an online thread, K-netz and international fans reacted to DAY6's upcoming performance and historic feat. Read their comments below:

• "Please have a seat for me."
• "I bet that there will be no seat for me."
• "Crazy. It'd be good if they had 4 floors too. Just one seat for me!"
• "So happy to see how far they've come!"
• "Young K's wish came true lol. But their growth is truly inspiring and incredible."
• "I'm so freaking proud of them."
• "25,000 seats wow. I'm so proud of them."
• "They've been releasing good music since day one and the quality of their latest album 'Band Aid' shows that they're always evolving and constantly outdoing themselves."

Earlier on September 2, DAY6 finally released its ninth mini album "Band Aid" and its title track "Melt Down." Immediately after its release, the song took the reins in domestic music charts. "Melt Down" led DAY6 to earn their first-ever Real-Time All-Kill (RAK) achievement, as the song hit first place in other charts such as Genie, Bugs, Vibe, MelOn, and more.

• "DAY6 has good lyrics! So I keep listening to it again and again. I feel like I'm going through every moment of my life with them."
• "It's like an anime's opening. I love it."
• "This is how K-pop songs should be! Meaningful lyrics and a good melody, not just repetitive one-syllable words."
• "Loving this sound for them. Kinda reminds me a bit of their 'Unlock' album but a little softer, but the J-rock vibes are there. Welcome back, DAY6!"
• "This is truly a genre called DAY6. I am so overwhelmed because I can feel what DAY6 wants to say and what kind of energy they want to convey, and I am so thankful."
