hi hi hi hi i absolutely love your art and i love how everything is just so JAJXJEJFJSJ, so you have any tips on how to make an art piece more skrunkly??
very sharp angular lineart n shapes but mixed with flowing soft shapes also. Like angular hands and face and body shape but soft hair and clothing and round eyes. or vice versa give em a round body and hands and sharp hair and hard facial features. For sketches pencil texture is everything, don’t do much shading just “color in” the sketch in grey scale based on character colors. Also extra lines on face and skin to give more texture and interest. Idk idk here’s some pics
I never know how to actually give good art advice so please. be nice to me

tma fic recs? i went into ao3 and it was a mess
yeah it’s been slow-going for me too because of the amount of freak shit people post/have posted, as well as the fact that a lot of the high-kudos’d jm fics are from before s4 really ramped up their relationship development. and i’ve found i can get pretty picky about martin’s characterization. here’s a couple i’ve read and liked
(now with a read more because it’s gotten long) (updated 2/15/20)
the umbrella (4.6k) - mag160 fixit, probably my favorite fixit so far. includes canon-level non-graphic blinding. but it has a happy ending. it’s tma, i don’t need things to be light and fluffy all the time, i’m good with canon level darkness yk? as long as there’s a happy ending and the gays’ love for each other is pure.
feel the done days and you’re pulling through (1.8k) - jon deprogramming from being an avatar. living a very domestic and idyllic life. it’s adorable
all resistance wearing thin (4.7k) - ok this is the ONLY web!martin concept ive ever liked. bc it doesn’t make martin a crazy villain hes still himself and hes just NICE he LOVES people (aka jon). and we all like to indulge in a bit of mutually obsessive love. happy ending :)
some invitation of light (4k) - i love the joke that “martin is proof that playing hard to get works,” and this fic is in line with that. i’m picky about jealousy in fics but this one was enjoyable
ways to save the world (19.3k) - oooooogh urghhhhh jon gets trapped in the lonely and martin communicates to him through passages of poetry… im a total sucker for epistolary fics and this one was so GOOD
*
above all shadows (4.3k) - canon divergent from s4, written before the finale. very fairytale esque. theres some paragraphs in this that made me go HAM
catch and release (2.3k) - pre canon divergence au where theyre both avatars being spooky and doing a back and forth. martin is full lonely and jon got RAISED BY SPIDERS. somewhat edgy but in a fun way. we love creepy shit
agate, amber, amethyst (994) - short sweet and soppy. magpie jon is so utterly charming to me.
reciprocity (1.9k) - short and sweet caretaking stuff. both these bitches need to sleep.
always a reason (1.7k) - we love jon taking care of martin!! as he deserves!
pl: nuclei; but you only need one, anyway. (1.1k) - s3 phone calls with jon asking martin for research help. timezones. jon trying to stretch those “i care about you” muscles
1. can’t be helped (5.3k) 2. rituals (8.4k) - two fics in a series. very monster boyfriend. the first is martin losing his emotions to the lonely. the second is martin getting them back, but jon has been subsumed by The Archivist, which is figuring out what martin means to it. there was a moment in the second that made me go a little whoa hey! it was the archivist compelling martin. but it wasn’t anywhere near enough to make me stop reading. they were good, heartrending reads.
misshapes, mistakes, monsters (7.9k) - jon takes martin as his plus one to an oxford reunion. an enjoyable read, along with an almost cartoonishly villainous posh man. pining! “it’s nice to feel like i’m something worth protecting” arrrghhhh
small things, simple acts (6.6k) - post-159 fic. bookmarked this one! because they LOVE each other and TRY SO HARD for each other!!!! jon buys martin a stuffed cow because he saw martin looking at it and theyre TRYING for it. “There are a lot of things that Jon can’t give him, like safety or a normal life. But he can absolutely get him a stuffed toy just because he looks like he wants it.”
i’m almost me again, you’re almost you (12.9k) - you know when you try to feel feelings and it’s like touching a hot stove? that’s what martin does this whole fic as he’s recovering from the lonely and jon is being so achingly sweet and good with him, but martin can’t 1. deal with it just yet 2. believe that jon loves him back. post-159 fic. god. READING it felt like touching a hot stove, or stepping into warm bathwater with cold feet. jesus christ. excellent
fate, or something (107.8k) - this is that 100k blind date s1 canon divergence au, and i tried it out and i LOVED IT. martin has a spine! it’s just so sweet. they’re friends! martin works with melanie for ghost hunt uk! a great read. it’s that sloooowwww burn shit.
forever is composed of nows (5.9k) - jon meets martin (a single dad) and martin’s daughter (agnes! who had good writing for a child in a fanfiction) in the library and things grow from there. this fic is SO CUTE. it’s wonderful. i literally had to take breaks while reading it to make wild animal noises because i couldn’t deal with it. god. it’s so good. UGH (thanks to @infernallegaycy for the rec!)
and i won’t pray for an unfilled grave (5.9k) - daisy after coming out of the buried. daisira and daisy&melanie bonding. WOMENNNNN I LOVE WOMEN
*
hello my old heart (15.8k) - jess @thedistortion, the person who got me into tma and a dear pal, wrote this, and their brain is utterly huge and good. i love this so much. a deeply excellent post-159 fic that i would also say is pre-160. so many parts of this make me gasp and clutch my chest! but it also has an excellent realism to it. spiders that enrage me. please read.
yesterday is here (26.6k+, WIP) - post-canon jon and martin travel back in time and hang out with the pre-canon crew and attempt to make everything better. guaranteed happy ending. it’s so sweet watching jon be so kind and gentle and Better At People with his coworkers and make things right - and the s1 jon and martin fumble at seeing their extremely married and Knowing counterparts.
a measure outside the lines (22.9k) - i looove post-159 fics that show that martin hasn’t been completely severed from the lonely and still really struggles with it. this one is EXCELLENT at it. there’s some moments in this one that just made me totally ache because oh… oh martin. it’s so wonderful and has such excellent emotional catharsis
*
interlude (7.8k) - s3 au where georgie meets martin over facetime with jon! makes me wistful for the friendship they could have had without all the coping mechanisms in the way. the fond teasing is very cute. the pining! the banter! the slips of the tongue! very, very enjoyable.
skin deep (3.1k) - another s3 au where georgie meets martin on better terms - she calls him for help after jon’s meeting with jude (as jon’s locked himself in his room). the way jon leans on martin and lets him in and just… the way he behaves around him. very sweet.
bury my heart on the coals (3.6k+, WIP) - au where martin was one of gertrude’s assistants who is now a ghost haunting the archives. i’m enjoying how he’s so judgmental of jon and all the little signs of Haunting that jon and the assistants are experiencing.
nor any more youth or age than there is now (6.5k) - outsider pov of jon being a primary school teacher in scotland post 159!! so, so sweet. i LOVE outsider pov stories and this one is so good. jon using his powers to protect his students and displaying all that character growth he’s had… the glimpses of his domestic life with martin… it’s adorable. please check it out.
take sides in divided cells (3.4k) - in an idyllic domestic post-canon, martin’s father tries to reconnect with him. from jon’s pov, so it’s a lot of him worrying about martin and then being protective. oof! oof! emotional hurt/comfort.
pieces of you stuck on me (1.9k) - spy au. a little snapshot - i enjoy all the implied backstory going on. the thrill! the longing! the suspense! and i’m generally a sucker for spy aus, i’ll be real.
be kind, i beg you (14.9k) - post 159. oh this one is so achey… i love it. jon obsessing over “loved is past tense” and trying so hard to be Good to martin, while martin deals with mood swings from his recent emotional traumas. they try really hard and are very domestic, talk about gardening, and clean up the safehouse. LOVED THIS.

What are some blogs that you consider part of your rp family?
> Aww anon this is a really cool question. Well I have a particular group of people that are pretty much my always follow. I know people do those follower forever but I haven’t done any before. I get overwhelmed as it is with the amount of people who follow me but some blogs that I will never not be following are:
@coffee-and-guns @theyearningtofly Uh hello. Have you seen the babes Lotus and Asuka? Feli has some dolls right here and I stan them to death. They don’t get the interaction or attention they deserve and I will fight until they do. Lotus is 60′s pre-tumblr babe. I’m talking OTP from the onset. He literally will destroy the city of Detroit for her. He will go to hell and back for her. It’s amazing how much this ship has taken over my life but our crazy amount of verses and aus is very telling. We have a ton of plot. Lotixty reigns supreme. And Asuka is my Connor’s waifu as well as Callum’s wife. Best babe. @diivinerose Daniela is not just one beautiful muse. She is so diverse in her three verses that she is pretty much a multi. Curly is my chaos doll but also a shy bean with such great ideas. Our aus are another wild treasure trove. Each verse has something favorite in it. Each rendition I love and DD60 considers Main D his true love. Mad D is the other half of the toxicity known as Corla with my boy Corvus. The ship of Main D and Connor was a surprise in the beginning. I didn’t expect it but I’m glad it happened. Cause I just love her clinical coolness against this supposed cool machine who has more emotion than he should now as a deviant. Best Babe. @stayhuman-genevieve @leaderawakened @pathdiverted Gen is amazing. Markus is tops. 52 is a babe. OK but also Amanda, Louis, Anarchy the list goes on. All of these muses are amazing and it’s just such a privilege to write with such a wonderfully developed original in Genevieve. She is 60′s weak spot. The ruthless one gave up Cyberlife for Gen. That takes some doing. But they have a ton of shit they went through including a terrorist takeover by that aforementioned Anarchy. We have such great plot ideas and I can’t get enough of them. Main Connor and Markus for my gal too. Main Markus all around. I love him damn it. Genevieve is also my Connor’s waifu. DD60 on the other hand.... just don’t let him alone with Corrupted Gen. OTP status right here. Best Babe.
@dcwnxism @soulxism @lethalxarsenal @wintcrcoded @resentfuldrcgon OK but here the list goes on as well. All of these muses canon and original are just amazing. Iron is the queen of angst. Hands down the best at making me cry. One of these days I’m gonna get her back for all the pain. lol Not only is Nines (now known as Cassius) my canon RK900 but my 60′s exclusive 900 bro. That took some doing let me say. Aiden is 60′s soulmate. Sixden is a ship I never expected but it snuck up on me. I love him. I love Lexi so much. She needs more attention. The one Gavin my Connor will put up with.... as an enemy of course. Oh and WuXian? Caleb loves him already. They will shine bright. Best Babe.
@creatorofclay
Did somebody ask for the only Kamski of my life? Well look no further than Kam/Ash/Clay right here not only making me appreciate Elijah but turning me to liking him as a character. I didn’t think much of him when I played the game. But let me tell you waifu right here writes him with such humanity (even when he’s being an ass) that gives such a new perspective. 60 is still on that creator nonsense but it’s in the demon au where he gets to shine with his affection or rather verbal brawls effectively with Elijah. My exclusive Kamski. Don’t @ me. Best Babe.
@rk800isalive @imabittercoffee
Waifu spotted! My platonic soulmate right here. Eme is someone who gave me a wonderful springboard for Sixty to get his hate on with Connor. That hate took a turn I never expected early on. These two wound up getting over their altercation at the tower. They wound up becoming siblings. The only Connor that 60 considers a brother in his main verse. Let me say the work up for this was some good old work. We wrote so many things with them and still do. I adore their human au. Let’s not forget Sierra. I love this bitch. She’s such a contrast to Caleb but man I’m digging it. Also she is the unofficial goth wife of Corvus but you’ll never hear it from him. Or...will you? thinksmirk Best Babe.
@et-liliium @musesdivine
My baby Cherry has wonderful original dolls and I still miss them. BUT I’m super excited to see Lily on her own blog and my babe slowly getting back into the fandom. Sixty is looking to corrupt that sweet flower but it’s Connor that is absolutely in awe of her. He is in love. Let’s not forget Lily being the good to Corvus’ bad. We got some good shit planned for them. She’s the android Suzanne pretty much ;) Seriously check out these wonderful female muses. They are amazing and deserve all the love in the world. Best Babe.
@robobiitch
Let me throw some love on Moe right here. Yall wanna see full on enemies with Sixty? Look no further but man we have some good ass plot with assassin au with a little dose of angst. Lust already hates/loves his brother-in-law in the other demon verse. The shenanigans are bound for some good shit. A wonderful Connor and that’s the bottom line cause ruthless sixty said so. Literally such a fun and cool person. I love plotting and just hanging. Best Babe.
@anderson-residence
Have you seen these muses? I love every single one and Alley always has something in my inbox that either makes me laugh or worry. lol Sending YK to Corvus is probably not the best idea but I love it. I love chatting about aus, plots and everything in between. Each muse is one I enjoy seeing and I really want to interact more with all of them. Sixty just wants to push Hank’s buttons and probably wants to kill Connor but.... lol Best Babe.
@rxseguided @repliicantceo
A literal bab right here. Jesse, Eli and Elliot are all originals that bring so much more to the plate. If you haven’t seen Jesse in action what are you doing? The evil bitch’s daughter herself? Well then sign me up. Cupcake is a doll and her muses are chef kiss. Got it? Good. Lust loves his angel mom but DD is also in love. ;) Elliot is legit one of Corvus’ official cronies. That’s an honor in the worst way possible. Gotta love that human sk verse with Corvesse. Best Babe.
@triptocained @syntheticisolation
Let me tell you all a story about a fed drenched in heavy rain..... No this isn’t a pun. I swear but Norman is literally a highlight and I’m looking forward to that enemies shit with Sixty. Bringing Jayden into the DBH universe is the best damn thing to happen. Danny brings him to life perfectly. I haven’t seen anybody else do this much justice. Norman is yours alone and deserves all the attention. Also let’s not forget Richard. Look I love this knife happy bastard. 60 still wants to show off Monica but he can wait as long as it takes. Always a pleasure to see on my dash. I’m in love. Best Babe.
@fearlessandchaotic
Original babes need more love and Hana his no different. Ely has such development and constant shenanigans I love to see on my dash. It’s always wonderful to see but also Sixty is over the moon for Hana. He hates to admit it but the best thing was coming back to his fiery fox. These two have such chemistry with their ruthless selves they’d sit around and poke fun at people instead of working on a case. Seriously go give the female muses their due love damn it. Best Babe.
@vexeddetective
Vex is a precious babe that I adore the hell out of. Sixvin is here fam. Sixty likes to push Gavin’s buttons. We all know how that shit goes down. I will legit protec this babe. Not Gavin tho. He can fight his own battles and most likely end up wrestling with Sixty. That might end up messy good. Also Lucifer.... whenever he pops up my gal Jade is just: well he’s tall and scary. She probably secretly has a soft spot for him. We’ll have to find out. Please go follow for these two muses. You know you want to bishes. Best Babe.
@swat-cptn-allen @det-gavin-reed
My canon Allen right here. There is no one else who puts this much love into this muse. Webby is a literal precious bean. Sixty loves and hates Joseph. DD is definitely sof for him. Let that sof boy show his dom ;) I love the way Allen is given more development and his own unique persona from the little we see in game. I never imagined liking this character that much but Webby certainly has made me a fan of him. Please go give my canon Allen some love! Best Babe.
@ambitiouslyruthless @fragmented-personage
Goov is a babe. I have followed them for a while now and Vius was always a unique bab to see on my dash. Sixty still wants to pounce on him. Results may vary into ruthless territory BUT let him love on this original muse. He deserves more attention and love. Let him be that bastard to Gavin. Such a unique portrayal of Gavin that is totally one of my faves to see. I’m excited for the werewolf/vamp thread. Also can’t wait to see what happens with them in their main verses. Best Babe.
@thirum-stained
Always a delight on my dash and one of the earliest people to give my blog here a chance. Luna is a doll who has so many amazing muses and not just in the DBH fandom. Vanessa is Sixty’s waifu. She snuck up on him by surprise. He never imagined to fall in love but he sure did here. I adore all of the muses you tackle. I want to interact more with all of them. They’re forever follows on my dash for a reason. Best Babe.
@theveryfirst
This is my one and only Chloe. My literal canon babe. No one else compares and Heather is an all around sweetheart with amazing ideas. The plotting is always something I look forward to as well as just being able to chat. One of the earliest to follow me and still going strong on that forever follow list. Sixty adores Chloe. He feels for her more than he’d ever realize. Until he does. Corvus is still waiting to gets his hands on this angelic android. Best Babe.
> There are so many of you who follow that are so talented. It’s near impossible to give love to you all but there are some new babes who just followed that I’m looking forward to writing with. <3

Episode 9: “-28... negative. 28. negative. twenty. eight.” - Jason
i'm fully a psycho, i practiced my acting in the mirror to pretend I accidentally voted Ian. its a mess. a REAL mess. and I might have done it for no reason, they took it super well so maybe I... shouldn't tell Jason...
i literally am why Ian left. I wanted him out since round two, and I made it happen even though nobody wanted it to. I FINALLY ACTUALLY MADE A MOVE IN A GAME. I FINALLY DID SOMETHING I'M SO HAPPY asldfa. I could CRY, I can leave this game happy.
um da fuck alalkdgh well I aldlkj so alkjdfc;l.
^ decipher thats all I got.
No honestly I don't know what to think right now. Everyone went crazy last tribal and I feel like I need to explain myself a little bit? First off my alliance voted someone oppositely of what they told me they'd do. And secondly, they used me as a total fallback. And what made it me CRACKED asf was that they told me none of it. Like we talked in the morning about how shit was going to go down tonight and decided on Jason. We were all in agreement and it was in motion. Later Tom asked me what the vote was and I was told to tell him Ian. Except Alex told me that he told him Me. Without warning me. At all. Which is like shitty. So I kinda got paranoid and started asking around and seeing what was what, and thats when Tom came up to me and said that there was a big blindside to vote me off led by Alex. Of course, my initial thought was that this could be happening and he made this big plan to vote off Alex and I talked to Ali about it but ULTIMATELY I decided to go with Jason as I promised. My mistake I guess was telling Jones, who I really trusted, saying that they wanted to make a move on Alex but I trusted him and said I voted Jason. I only said so because I was worried that it might fall through and I might need to be saved by her idol. Which I know is hers of course and I don't want to dictate when she can use it but with this insanity going around I just was really nervous. But honestly I can't believe that Alex and them all just decided against voting Jason without telling me. They said it was to save me, which of course is true, but they didn't tell me. And it was SHITTY for Alex to not tell me that he threw my name to Tom, like truly dumb. I know I've said I might want him out soon a lot, but honestly I HAVE NO IDEA what I'm going to be doing with the next tribal. I do wanna say tho that I like him as a person a whole lot! He's sweet and loyal and really kind, I just think he's gonna end up dominating this game if people let him.
PS I don't know if Julia has a problem with me. We were suppose to be voting together for Jason, and while she doesn't owe me anything, she just wouldn't talk to me. Like I think I wouldn't have CRACKED so hard if I could just reach her and get a grip on how she was voting.
She's being chaotic on purpose but only to me? I don't get it.
okay I'm off the alliance call. I just sent a really like emo paragraph to my hostchat but I'm so happy, which is gross because I just did Ian so dirty but lemme explain.
I have played 7 games before this (3 Survivor, 4 Big Brother) - I've come 2nd in five of those games, and without exception I have never EVER played a game I'm proud of. I always make fun of my game for being crap. Like I'm always a goat, always crap, and always play passively.
I'm so excited about this season and this game because... I'm finally playing the game and a game I am proud of. Like I'm not fussed about winning or making FTC, because lets be real, it fully is not happening, but I wanna leave the season proud of my game. And I already so am, like... I've wanted Ian out since round two, and I've been determined to make it happen.
And I did that. I literally was angling to get him out via a vote switch and then when the vote split came up, I knew exactly what to do. I knew Ian would be less willing to make amends and more able to make connections. I knew Ian was a threat and so urgently needed to be removed because he could keep a grip on the game.
I can't believe that. In a tribe of twelve people, where nobody wanted Ian out (the four votes for him were all just for the sake of a vote split), and I singlehandedly forced it through. I saw a target, knew to make a move and got them out. IM SO HAPPY.
in other news... I am a psycho, I literally went to a mirror, practised how to look shocked and then went on that call and acted my HEART OUT. I think people bought it, but it is. the. most. cracked. thing. I. have. ever. done.
I'm now kinda stuck, because I have two options. Either I tell Jason what I did earning his trust, or I just... try and work with Jason without telling him. One is riskier with more potential long term benefit, and one is a much safer bet. I am gonna think on it and decide tomorrow.
Also I was really mean about Jones, Mo & Alex in my confessionals earlier. I take it back, on calls they are so FUN. I think they just aren't texting people so I don't judge. Doesn't mean I necessarily wanna go too far with them, but I love them as people and feel bad for being mean.
also since this round solidified that much as I'm proud of my game, I'm not making FTC, I'd rank people in the order I'd vote for them as a juror as:
Jules > Alex > Mitch > Tom > Benj > Jones > Julia > Jason > Caeleb > Mo
Jules/Alex/Mitch seem very switched on, Tom making it to the end would be a real underdog journey, Benj is a king and has the right idea with an undercover duo, Jones/Julia savvy queens, Jason actually also has an underdog story we will need to see with that one, Caeleb telling Jones about the Alex plan is a real dumb move imo which lowers his rank for me. Mo is my SON and I love him but would need to see more game from him to be comfortable voting him at FTC in any scenario.
also ian talking about dom not deserving to win switzerland set off kill bill red flags for me. nobody who talks about dom negatively lives to tell the tale, you go BYEBYE. but also ian ilysm, like you were a major threat and had to go, but on a personal level i love you with my whole heart.
okay last confessional for now, the two moods:
youtube
youtube
youtube
June 30th yeehaw
youtube
July 2nd
youtube
Extra notes:
Benj and i are working on the idol hunt together and I’m already on like,, 30 w him so it’s gucci, I’m not gonna tell Alex ab it or anything bc I kinda wanna try and stray away from him a bit?? Like he doesn’t have to know EVERYTHING Ab my advantages yk?
And I’m probs not gonna try and use the vote cover on anyone rn bc every single one of my allies is like,,, up for exposure???? So that’s wacky,,
Also bc Ian was absolutely ROBBED of jury we’re thinking it’s a F2
Bc OF COURSE IT IS which I’m not mad ab but I have to think ab who i’d Really want to sit with,,, best case scenario for me is probs Benj,, maybe Mo? Not too sure,, but um ya barbecue sauce on my thiddies here we go into f11 onward and upward amirite
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGv10gbJxVU
this was b4 tribal
So I lost Ian... and I'm kinda mad about it! I can't help but feel like I'm on my way to the jury because even the next day people are still acting super weird with me. I don't really understand how I'm a threat to anyone right now though??? Like I guess the Me/Ian power duo thing was valid but Ian's gone now so that argument should be moot.
I have no idea what to do moving forward. Up this point my game has been based on how I interpret conversations with people and how much I thought I could trust them... but I can't do shit if no one wants to talk to me (and I cannot stress ENOUGH how much sense this doesn't make).
The one good thing about me staying in the game I guess is I now have free reign to do whatever the fuck I want with my time left here. If I can blow up as many games as possible and stir the pot as much as I can at least I go out having fun?? Right?? But bottom line is I fully intend on lone-wolfing this game for however long I'm still here for.
My current first steps are to first throw Julia under the bus to Caeleb, and hopefully get something going with Caeleb. If I'm in with Caeleb, it might help with Alex, Jones, and Mo using me as a number.
Next is to pretty much sell my soul to the kingpin of this entire thing right now, Alex. I'm imagining a faux-Phillip Sheppard scenario where I tell Alex he owns my vote, but he doesn't really. I have no clue if he'd bite but it's worth trying because what the fuck else do I have left.
On the topic of Alex, I could also try to shift his attention into targeting someone like Mitch or Benj? I can embellish a little bit and tell Alex that Mitch is spreading a rumor that he has the Dirt People Idol or something along those lines.
Next on the (tentative) agenda is to talk with Jules and try to see where I stand with her. For some reason I feel the most burned by her from last tribal?? I don't trust her at all but as long as she thinks that door is still open I'll hear what she has to say. Maybe I can guilt her into giving me more info as well?
And the last thing I can think of is try making a better connection with Mo and Jones, and hopefully start some sort of game relationship with those two. I don't really see myself getting far with this one considering these two have been hit or miss in the conversations I've had with them, but there isn't anything worth not trying at this point.
Back to a less gamebotty point of view, I've honestly been oscillating between being angry and being upset about how last tribal broke down, mainly because I feel like Ali, Julia, and Mitch could've waited a lot longer to do something like this if they were worried about me and Ian (which I still believe they had very little reason to be worried right now in the first place). But I also feel like I had 9 doors slam in my face and the only person I can still be real with is Tom. I'm back at square one and I'm not happy about it, but I didn't come back to this godforsaken ORG to go down easy so I've gotta keep moving for as long as I can.
(Also I need to be willing to let go of Tom. I'm not gonna go out of my way to burn him, but I'm also beyond the point of wanting to stick my neck out too far for him. My longevity is the only priority right now.)
okay so... this vote is operation get Caeleb out of here. I really wanted to work with Caeleb, and I think he could have been a really useful number, but like... him telling Jones about the plan to vote Alex really, really rubbed me the wrong way. Like I do not trust him at all after that, I really do not know where we are at now.
So here is the goal. I'm about to call Jason and hopefully get him back on side. Then hopefully between Jules and I, we can convince Space Jam to vote Caeleb (I'm still confused how close he is to Mo/Jones/Alex, could be a good test). With Caeleb, a potential number for them, out of the way, next round its time for a big move, its time for one of Jones/Alex/Mo to go.
The numbers for that move would be (hopefully) Me, Jules, Julia, Tom, Jason, Mitch (6/10) + Benj hopefully, or at worst I'll just keep him in the loop. I really think Caeleb going could be so so good, it really opens up numbers and weakens Jones/Mo/Alex - it also narrows down where the idol is, something that we have to stay conscious of.
At the moment, my closest allies are definitely Jules and Benj. Jules is just.... the best, so woke, so on the ball, I am LOVING playing this season with them. Benj is such a king, my earliest like 'proper' ally even though Julia approached me after like 0.5 seconds in the game ha. I love Benj, and at the moment he also is quite out of the loop, he could also be a workable FTC option. I'm really stuck with Jules and FTC - you would be crazy to take Jules, as articulate and smart as they are, to FTC, but I really don't think I could face writing Jules' name down, I would feel AWFUL.
Also thoughts on Tom? He is too good for this world, he was so sweet about Ian/Jason going and like I really relate to the emotions he feels in games, on a personal level he is the best.
I feel like my plan going forwards is vote off Caeleb, then Alex, then Jones/Mo, and then figure it out from there. I really think if I play it right, I can slowly and calmly continue to have real swing over this game, I'm mc'loving it.
Also, because I keep doing this and its a fun pattern at this point, this is the order in which I would vote for people at FTC, if I go 11th at the moment:
Jules > Jason > Alex > Julia > Mitch > Jones > Tom > Benj > Caeleb > Mo
okay i just called Jason, such a king! i feel like i was VERY awkward, and I like I didn't articulate myself very well, but... he gets that we are going to need to potentially pull some shenanigans. I really want Caeleb then Alex, but if we need to just do Alex first, I can deal with that.
I think ideal situation is Tom wins immunity, Space Jam wants to vote Caeleb - we all go along with it, and then Alex goes next round, but we will see eek!
Oh wow hi it’s me, Mo.
So here’s the rundown on what’s happened the past couple rounds for my dumbass. First let’s start off with getting to merge, it’s a talent of mine, don’t look at my Italy placement. We’re out of that dumb fucking cave so no more waiting which is great. Another cool thing is I’m actually allies with Julia now which is weird because I’m going to be honest I was terrified of her going into this game. We had a past game experience that made me fearful. But now I’m sitting comfy in a majority alliance with Alex, Ali, Jones, Jules & Julia. By the way this is a first time thing for me, being in a majority alliance during merge. So this at least guarantees me final 7 or 6. It took me four tries to spell guarantees, who’s idea was it to put the u in front of the a it’s fucking stupid. But like here’s the thing, my gameplay is somewhat underwhelming. Basically my game relies on jury management and likability. Because I can’t strategize for shit, I just kinda smile and waddle forward when a door opens. I thought at this part of the game I would be close allies with Tom again but that didn’t happen. Apparently JJ told Tom about an alliance made in old Durmitor with Alex, Jules, Jones & Evan??? Made to like simmer JJ down. So now Tom doesn’t want to work with any of them (Which mind you three of them are my close allies) so he confronted Alex about it and I think he was like butthurt about not being included??? But like bitch I wasn’t included either but I’m not sulking about it. It wasn’t even a serious alliance. Also back to my alliances, sorry I know this is mixed up. MESSY, WHO BROUGHT NAPKINS IM GETTING MESSY. But I was also in an alliance with Alex, Jones & Caeleb after the swap. Called the Durmitor Dominators which is still a thing. But Caeleb wasn’t added to the Space Jam alliance with the group of 6 so I’m like??? What’s going on there??? I should probably talk about it with Alex because I am confusion. Also now there’s this new twist since we got out of the Dua Lipa cave, now we have to adjust to the sunlight with this exposure twist which basically means whoever gets eliminated gets to expose three people and whoever is exposed still by the tribal has to write who they’re voting for in chat. So I love that. But that’s about it for me thank you for taking the time to read this.
I DO NOT WANT TO BE VOTING JASON AT ALL THE FUCK I WANT TO GET ALEX THE FUCK OUT OF HERE BUT NO CAELEB APPARENTLY WANTS TO VOTE JASON I HATE THIS THEY REALLY ARE TRYING TO GET MY HOMIE JASON OUT!!! WAS I CONSPIRING AGAINST HIM AND IAN ALL WEEK? MAYBE SO! BUT I DON'T WANT HIM OUT YET!!! I DON'T!! WE ARE TRYING TO BLINDSIDE ALEX BUT THIS AIN'T WORKING UGHGHGHGHG *STOMPS ON THE GROUND* UGHGHGHGH I HATE THIS GOODBYE
Sooo besides the fact that it took me 5 minutes to find the confessional tab because I havent been doing these im here to update!!! Ian was just voted out and although i'm fine with it for now, I was NOT expecting a split vote. That makes me feel a little bit nervous going further into the game. I did think it was beneficial to split up the Jason/Ian duo but i was expecting Jason to go; not Ian. Anywho im almost positive im in the same predicament this vote. I've mended my relationship with Jason and im working very well with Tom to flip the script on Alex (who I believe to be running the game). Typically I would wait a few more rounds to get Alex out, but if everyone is playing for him to win, I might miss my opportunity like I did in my last season. I'm not blind! I'll do whatever it takes to go far and put myself in people's endgames. RN swapped Durmitor has the power. I dont necessarily like that because although im not on bad terms with them, I'm definitely on the bottom of that totem pole.
Tom sent seven confessionals in a row to be put at different places throughout this and last episode??? I guess??? But no thank you, so enjoy the thoughts in the order he apparently had them. ~Drew
*1 hour before tribal*
WHY IS ALEX SO CRACKED HONESTLY alex has said ian, caeleb and jason to 3 people i dont understand i am most likely getting played here but i dont want any of them to go, i see very high potential when working with all three of them so i think im going to try to make a big move and take out alex. I'm immune this round but next round im not so its a bit risky. I think Ali and Jules would be on board if there was the numbers there so if me ian jason julia ali and caeleb all voted together that would be majority and alex would be the first blindside of the game....
Tom
*10 hours before tribal council*
Everyone is pretty much dead silence i feel like everyone has an idea of who they would like to target but no one is really wanting to be the first person to throw a name out there so like its gonna get so fucking messy whilst im asleep and imma wake up to one big mess i already know it
Tom
*1-2 hours before tribal*
Okay so I've just woken up and i just spoke to alex and he seems like he just wants to do anything to get his ass safe this round which is sketch af, he is saying the vote is caeleb to me so thats cool and all but i asked caeleb what he was hearing just to get both sides and caeleb said alex said jason..... so like wtf is alex trying to do.....
TOM
ABORT MISSION ABORT MISSION sinking ship is near i cba voting for alex now that he has told jones, he did the same thing as evan and i am just ready for his ass to go out the door ugh im so annoyed!
Tom
OKAY I CANNOT DEAL WHO THE FUCK IS THIS CAELEB KID HONESTLY WHY ARE YOU SUCH A FUCKING IDIOT WHY DID YOU GO AND TELL JONES LITERALLY ALL OF WHAT I SAID....ITS A KNOWN FACT THAT THEY'RE A DUO OPEN YOUR STUPID EYES IDIOT!!!! THANKS SO MUCH NOW IMMA GET FUCKED OVER AND GET TARGETED BY ALEX AND HIS MINIONS NEXT ROUND. THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR TRYING TO SAVE SOMEONE I WANT TO WORK WITH IN THIS GAME....
Tom
*Tribal just happened*
Oh okay uhm well thats just fucking sad. I would like to say i never cry when a close ally is eliminated but i am a mess, i am crying right now at work and my driver is like "uhm are you okay..." yeah man im okay just crying over an ally that essentially died because i cant even speak to him anymore rip :( I miss ian so much i am so fucking furious that i am blindsided again at merge tho.... also really 9 people were in on that blindside split vote.....WOW! I am so surprised that ali and jules didnt tell me about the plan tbh they can say all they want about how they thought i knew but like if you thought i knew you should've just spoken to me about the vote.... like WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SPLIT UP JIAN when JONEX is still in the game they're much more dangerous and so much harder to get out every round we get closer.
Tom
waa waaa waaa call the wambulance! My plan is working so far i think tbh, mitch has been very responsive about this round and i am fairly certain that he has realised how fucked of a position he is in this game without me and jason here so he made an alliance chat which is good because that means he will work with us even just for this round. I think a lot of people now jian is out, have realised the next big big duo in this game is jalex so hopefully the movement on them occurs!
Tom
*hour after tribal*
Okay so this is shit me and jason are in minority and will most likely get votes split against us.... time to do something about it, in the past merges ive been too ive been in the bottom, and i was taken out this time it wont be happening as much as alex would like it too i will not let it happen! This cast seems to have fairly emotional sympathetic people in this game so imma express how sad i was at the tribal say i was balling my eyes out when ian left and how i feel so down and out and that i am very lost and sad in this game. Because this will make people feel bad for not including me in the plans and also it will create conversation for them to work with me to build my spirits up again and make me happy.
Just thinking about this exposure twist. Kinda cool actually. I'm surprised to say it but I think this might be the type of thing that I like to see??? Who am I. Kinda wish the reward challenge was more of a flash game over a typing game, only because I wanna know how hard the winner worked to get that score. Like for typing you kinda either are already good at it prior or you're shit at it, so I can't tell if Alex put in a bunch of time and effort to win. If it was some weird flash game that had a steep learning curve then I would know better and have a better grip on the game Alex is playing. Regardless, kinda excited about Benj having the curse because I think(?) that we can use that to actually do something crazy? Like I'm thinking a 5 vote blindside tie type situation where Benj throws out a red herring type of vote. We'll see, but I think I need to keep a low profile so who knows if that'll come to fruition.
okay mitch! has! been! elevated! to! king! status!
me and mitch have had a good conversation which I'm super SUPER happy about, he is someone who is in a similar spot to me, so I am SOOO happy we are talking yay. He agrees Alex needs to go soon, like... people are on the same page, maybe its time for it to hap' hap' happen.
since alex won reward, he'll of course save himself, which is fine. it means julia and benj are exposed, and while they're both close allies of mine, they are probably the two who would be in the toughest spot to vote alex, julia since she is like out of nowhere close to him, and benj since he is close to jones.
the plan could be to get alex and co to agree to another split vote or something, which separates numbers that could allow us to strike versus Alex. Maybe if we did like... Alex/Jones/Mo/Caleb on someone, Benj/Julia on another and then Me/Jason/Tom/Jules/Mitch on someone, making a 5-4-2 vote. oh god these merge vote counts have been so so cracked.
we will see. i think my placement this season is going to be like... 8th or something? I am scared of flipping for two votes in a row, BUT I feel like the good news is if I was getting voted out, either Tom or Benj would now hear about it, so I should be able to still play my idol. We will see ahh, but its very scary!
as always with my confessionals:
Bootlist: Alex > Caeleb > Jones > Jason > Mo > Mitch > Julia > Jules > Me/Tom/Benj F3
here is the problem though, I can't vote Jules out. I am such a Jules stan, voting them out would snap my heart it half, I really don't think I could do it. I think I would need others to do it, I'd probably want to be blindsided by it and kept in the dark.
and then the order I would vote people in an FTC:
Jules > Alex > Jason > Mitch > Benj > Julia > Tom > Jones > Caeleb > Mo
Ok so now I’m getting added to a third alliance chat which is supposedly a final 3 alliance. But like here’s the thing, I’d be sitting next to Jones & Alex. I have a snowballs chance in hell of winning against either of them. Everyone loves Jones and Alex has been kinda running this game so far. I’m just kinda his goat. Don’t get me wrong I wanna start making some moves but it’s too early, right now I want to stay unthreatening and low key. I might just have to ride this coat tail to the end because if we have bitter jurors they’ll end up looking at Alex.
So Alex says he didnt read the challenge post... yet came 2nd?
I dont buy it, I fully believe if I ask Benj and others what Alex asked to give him, he will say negatives. He is such a fraud.
also this split vote will be his undoing... his ass is about to be grass... mwahahahahha
-28... negative. 28. negative. twenty. eight. what the FUCK did i do to these people??
I don't even know where to go from here.
...but I mean I kinda do.
I can use this to further push the narrative that I've got no one and hence nowhere near the biggest threat/I'm the easiest target there is and HOPEFULLY people take their eyes off of me.
Aside from that what I WANT to do is vote Alex out (big change from my last confessional, I know). I think I have Tom and Jules on board if I were to pitch it to them, same with Mitch and Ali. I MIGHT have Caeleb but he ran it back to Jones last round so the precedent's already set. So from there to have a five vote majority was I was considering to split the other 6 votes. Julia and Benj are getting their votes exposed so they probably want to vote majority, which I'm anticipating to be someone like myself, Tom, or Caeleb. Ideally, the vote splits one of two ways— NEVERMIND
!! BREAKING !!
Tom says via Ali that Alex thinks that the 9 that split their vote on me and Ian are gonna split their vote again on me and Tom, but Ali isn't on board with that (if he's being honest), and I'd have to assume the same goes for Mitch since there's now a chat with myself him and Tom. So the plan from there (which ties into what I was planning anyway) is to get Jules on board (we called the day after tribal, she SOUNDS like she'd be down), and let the rest of them split their vote.
So that means...
FUCK Alex
FUCK Caeleb
FUCK Julia
FUCK the rest of em bc who??
[but not really it's a game I don't mean it]
But as far as tribal plans right now go... ideally it turns out
5-4-2
5: Me/Tom/Mitch/Ali/Jules for Alex
4-2: Some combination of Alex/Mo/Caeleb/Jones/Julia/Benj for me/Tom
I probably get the 4 again, Tom gets 2... or other way around??? I get the 2 if Mitch/Ali/Jules are meant to vote for me?
But anyways don't be shocked if this is all for nothing and this is my last confessional x
god... negative 28...
i am so frustrated with julia. okay so tom told me apparently on call she said she has a F3 with Alex/Jones, specifically a F2 with Alex. Now... I fully feel like Tom made this up, BUT I asked Julia about the vote and she says she wants to ride out the Space Jam alliance...
is she nuts. is she NUTS kjlasdfas. Literally I feel like WAY too much of this tribe is drinking the Alex Kool-Aid and I can't describe how frustrating it is lowkey. Like I sided with Alex relying on like... Julia's wokeness that we could then detach ourselves, Alex is now FULLY running this tribe and it terrifies me.
It solidifies to me that Alex needs to go this round. Like....this round. He is running this tribe, he has grips on Jones/Mo/Caeleb/Julia, and potentially Benj through Jones. That is SUCH a large amount of this tribe, so I need to stick my neck out. I'm fully embracing that I'm not making FTC at this rate, so it's just time to shake stuff up.
Here is the plan. I am going to play into the split vote plan, we can get Alex and his minions as they shall henceforth be called to split their votes between Jason and Tom, and then maybe Me/Tom/Jules/Mitch/Jason vote out Alex or any of his minions, I don't care which.
At this rate, I'm going to be going into F10 in a potential 5-5 situation, but honestly... Jones/Mo say about a word and a half of game between them each round so they are not workable allies, Julia who flips at literally the drop of a hat is suddenly misted by Alex and Co., Caeleb is just infuriating for telling Jones about the Alex vote, shows he can't be trusted. That leaves only Benj my king, the only woke one, though I am afraid of his connection to Jones.
I just WISH this TRIBE would use their BRAINS. Specifically Julia at the minute.
I’m so TIRED I’ve been so quiet maybe that’s why people are thinking about targeting me :)
Ok ok lemme back up a lil,, this is all according to Alex,, which,,,,,,, idk about YALL but he’s giving off a bit of a paranoid energy right now,, and I’m fully aware of the fact that he has the best chance at winning this game out of anyone here, sooooo maybe let him get eaten by the wolves soon? Not necessarily soon but like,, ya soon. Don’t wanna get him to the end skkdkdkdks. I also think separating myself from Alex might take a target off of MY back, I’ve been trying to separate myself like on my own terms but I think I need to start like,,, setting the stage kind of thing. Idk all I know is that I have a better chance sitting with anyone BUT him,, So maybe it wouldn’t be a bad thing to push Alex into the fire a little bit.
I have yet to hear a name, though I’d like to get Tom out personally? He can slide utr really easily,, plus we can (or at least I can) confirm he doesn’t have an idol, the only question is does Jason have an idol and is willing to play it on the only person he voted with? Who KNOWS!! We just have to make them feel comfy (assuming we have the majority vote that is KSKSKS)
But ya stay tuned laid ease
okay so alex is really trying to play me and its very transparent. now, this could just be tom playing which if so, good for him, his mind and his MIST, but here is the deal.
tom tells me him and alex had a conversation about pairs, where Tom threw out Alex/Jones as a pair, and Alex threw out Julia and I. Then in Alex's retelling of that same conversation, side note its funny that I heard the same conversation from both sides in the space of about 10 minutes, Alex conveniently leaves out that he threw out me and Julia as a pair, and he is SO defensive about him and Jones as a pair.
Jones was on my ass immediately when Caeleb told her Alex could be the vote, and Alex also knew super fast. You are really going to try and convince me that you aren't even close when you have spent 23 days on a tribe together, and from the sounds of things, voted together every single time! im not buying it.
for this vote, i want either alex or an alex minion out, i think mo would be the most do-able. jones is close to caeleb, who we will need as a number, so if alex's idol paranoia is too big, maybe we need to remove mo from the equation? we will see.
mo is my org son, and i love him on calls and such, but I am confused by the game he is playing. I'm potentially super underestimating him, which is a definite possibility, but at the moment.... its like... do something charlie. is he just going to hide behind Jones and Alex, because that's not smart.
i would like to see Alex go this vote, but i think he is already too paranoid (i think tom stoked his paranoia WAY too much). I think Mo could end up being the back up vote, which is probably actually okay, because Alex is a definite shield moving forwards, particularly if still paired with Jones.
Updated Jury Vote Rankings:
Jules > Alex > Jason > Tom > Mitch > Benj > Julia > Jones > Caeleb > Mo
okay I'm like... getting frustrated with Alex. he literally does not know how to be subtle about anything lowkey, like this vote split is literally his 4 OG Durmitors voting 'correctly', leaving all his unsure numbers Me/Jules/Julia/Benj on Jason... like mc'what...
i really want him gone, EVERYONE is drinking the Alex Kool-Aid. Maybe I'm not seeing it, but Jones and Mo particularly are playing SO passively, I fully want to scream.
I need to convince Caeleb to make a move. It's really time to just send Alex, or literally any of his minions out of here. I want to include Julia so badly, but she is so blindly misted by him out of nowhere, I hate it UGH.
I think I want Alex and Mo out as the next two votes, Alex runs the show and Mo is just too passive of a player to be a workable ally. Jones is much more of a threat, but Benj likes her and I want to respect.
I just can't deal with Alex and Co. playing so passively for another round, I'll scream KLASDFA.
Alex aka Gru (because of his minions) unfortunately goes byebye tonight. It took a bit of last minute persuading of Caeleb, but we have GOT THIS ahh.
It looks like its going to be either 6 votes or 5 if Tom self-votes on Alex (Me, Caeleb, Jules, Tom, Jason & Mitch), 3 on Tom (Jones, Mo & Alex) and 2 on Jason (Julia and Benj).
This could definitely backfire, but I don't think I'll go home (famous last words), and if Tom/Jason gets idoled out, next round there is still wiggle room because I still have my KING Benj on the other side. Jones/Mo/Julia are going to be coming for my neck, but I'd rather face the minions than Gru himself NNN,
i might live to regret this if Caeleb turns on me, but I take back everything negative I've EVER said about Caeleb. He is an icon, and so so fun to talk to. I feel like he really trusts me now, so I can't turn on him unless I have to.
New goal final five is Me/Jules/Benj/Tom/Caeleb... and I think its do-able. We get Alex out this vote, then Julia/Mo/Jones/Jason as the next four, followed by Mitch... I'm not sure how exactly, but we will figure it out AHH.

Episode 8 - "One of the best moves in the history of this series." - Devon
I'M FREE OF THE PURPLE SQUIRREL MAN !!!! Mitchell you were great, but i couldn't let you stay in the game when i knew you were after me <3 at least you made jury though so that's good :) ALSO FUC FUCKF FUCK FUFKC FUCK WE MADE JURYYYYYYYYYY I'M GONNA PEE MY ACTUAL PANTS now all i have to do is make single digits and i'll be satisfied. but then after that,,, it's winning :$ also alyssa and jess are a v obvious f2 they aren't even hiding it anymore wowowow
So I’m already starting to plan how I can go about this next round. I think I would need to go after Sammy next. We don’t have as much of a connection as I thought we did, he is closer to Jones and Alyssa than I am, and this helps me get back into the middle like I need/want to be. I regain the trust of Aidan and Dani, and probably could gain a stronger connection with Devon and Jess (if they’d be open to this vote).
so,,, Jess keeps saying stuff,,, and it's making me uncomfortable,,,,,,??? IT'S NOT LIKE SHE'S BEING CREEPY OR ANYTHIGN AT ALL but,, she's saying stuff that's like,, freaking me out about my game? she basically told me and Maynor over call that everyone on the first swap tribe Hosororo made a video that I SHOULD WIN THE GAME??? like,, k AND THEN!! then,,, then,,, she says that everyone thinks i'm really cool? like "oh yeah i'm okay with Jones!!" LIKE??? wow??? like,, that's a good position,, but also i have to be super slick from now on yk? so yay! love being stressed the fuck out lkdsjafldskfj also,, i have a bad feeling we might have an unmerge. it's like,, a stretch, but we merged so early?? F13 merge is wildt kdsafldksaf idk what to expect just know i'm probs gonna get voted out next lskajdfaldkjf
So, without having to do too much extra work, people also saw the same thing as me and want to get Sammy out; awesome. But now I have to find a way to make sure that it comes into fruition. There's a line between keeping this secret but also building those connections that come with blindsiding someone with someone else... Like can I trust Tim not to go back and tell Sammy? I think I can, but there's a risk in telling another person.
I'm telling you right now, there is no one in the game playing with fire more than me.
1. I made 5 different fake idol charts in the fans vs favs stage to gain trust 2. I jumped ship on the fans and committed to Sammy, Chelsea, and Alyssa after the swap 3. I'm pinning the whole entire cast against one another and taking out the biggest threat in Sammy.
If I can successfully get Aidan to flush his advantage and knock out Sammy, this could go down as one of the best moves in the history of this series. It would be a true tale of going from the top to the bottom in one single round.
I won a challenge *Happy dance* Fuck social challenges *still dancing* Not here to make friends *still dancing* Fuck you Mitchell
hahah, right okay so a confession.... I was super stressed with this the BUZZ challenge really but like, I cleaned my room and still went to play DnD and still one. Extra bonus of the night, I didn't die and my character leveled up. yay's all around.
THE GAME IS A FOOT!
Things are really happening strategically now and after being on the wrong side of the vote last week I want to be very intentional about every move that I make going forward. Right now there are a few names bouncing around but mainly Dani and Sammy in retaliation.
I don't know why this Sammy/Chelsea/JD/Jonesy or whatever faction is all voting one way but they're all boring so whatever. Apparently JD has Maynor on her ass and a lot of people are sniffing Jonesy' boring ass pussy juice for whatever reason. The game is sort of divided right now and it's weird... and there's currently a plan in place to divert a few votes onto Chelsea to skew idol suspicion and avoid a deadlock. Imagine we pulled a 6-5-1 or 6-4-2 or something?
I really don't want Dani to leave because she's somebody I need in this game but it just seems like the boring bitches want to go after my friends and I'm trying to fake it til I make it with them but it's not working?
***FUN FACT I WROTE HALF OF THIS CONFESSIONAL ON SATURDAY BEFORE I FOUND OUT ABOUT SNAKE.. I MEAN SAMMY****
So JD winning immunity was LITERALLY worst case scenario for me. They say don't meet your heroes because you'll be disappointed well... that's how I feel about JD.
I'm really scared I'm not going to make it out of this round alive. I just hope if there's a push for me to go I can play my idol correctly and not leave this game looking like an idiot because I didn't play an idol I had.
Hypothetically speaking..... maybe I can see votes going down like this?
People that would POTENTIALLY vote for me? 1. Sammy 2. Chelsea 3. Tim 4. JD
I really wanted a favourite to go this round too so I'm super disappointed. I kind of want to push for TIM to go now because out of all of the people left aside from JD I talk to him the least. HOWEVER, I don't want to be "Mitchell'd" so I'm just going to keep my mouth shut and hope for the best.
plot twist.
Apparently I'm a COMP BEAST? ME? JESS? BEING TARGETED FOR BEING A COMP BEAST? I C-A-N-N-O-T.
I'm being targeted because people are scared of someone with an ACTUAL PERSONALITY.
What ended up happening was: Devon called myself/Alyssa and spilled all of the tea about Sammy targeting us. This was HUGE of Devon so I hope he's not lying. What kind of sketched me out during that call was Alyssa seemed kind of relieved that they switched from her to me when I was generally SHOOK about them targeting her too? So that was something? I'm not gonna look to into it though lmfao. Devon not telling us for a couple of days is amood though. That kind of is a giant red flag.
Jones hasn't told Alyssa about that alliance which I personally find WEIRD. I thought Jones and Alyssa were confirmed final 2. Maybe this will cause some doubt OR maybe Jones already told Alyssa and she's lying. I have no idea at this point.
My plan for this round was to get Dani to throw out Chelsea's name as her counter. That way if Sammy or any of them have an idol they'll waste it on Chelsea while we target Sammy. We need to throw off his scent.
I typed a long ass answer and lost it so FUCK you Johnny but honestly this round is a mess and everybody is lying and talking shit
I’m,,, worried. So I lost immunity, right? I got 3rd place behind Maynor and JD. BUT like,,,,,,,,,,, SURE I’m feeling mostly covered, and SURe we have the numbers for Dani,, but what if Dani or Aidan have an idol? Like we know aidan has a vote steal that’s pretty obvious,, but like,,, what if yk? I’m super fucking scared. I know I said I don’t WANt to have immunity,,,, but now I want immunity AJSKNDJD but ummm yeah :( I’m ooky spookied. I have a really bad feeling, but hopefully everything works out.
So Aidan wouldn't reveal his advantage which sucks but I'm working on gaining trust with him.
Pretty sure I’m going home so that’s fun..but Sammy might go home for being too chaotic. Idk djdjdjdjd. I really enjoyed playing though
So, once again I am potentially on the chopping block and I don't understand why. My squad is voting for Dani but I'm over people wanting me out. ughhhhh. I am normally a very likable person and those 5 votes I got last tribal were the most I have ever received in a game. I'm a decent player, but not really a threat so idk why people just want to vote me. Anywho, I am hoping my squad of people can save me yet again (gross, I don't want to be in the position where people have to save me) and people stop trying to come for me.
Tonights vote is going to be very interesting. Its Dani vs Sammy. I hope Sammy goes because he doesnt trust me and he wants me gone. I hpe nothing crazy happens and he goes. Dani and I got back to talking and everything was smoothed over so thats good.

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore
Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen.

SEE Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY SAT DOWN, you guys can sit down if you want!

[Back to normal]…Yeah, but sadly we're already at the last section of the concert [tech comes onstage], I was too excited, I was too hyped, so I kept stepping on the line? So, I actually plugged out the bass cord [laughing]. J: Honestly though, I think that today is just that kind of environment, like.. you know what I'm sayin'? Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk. So uh, we're gonna try to make that happen not in this next part now but…this next part…wait backtrack, that didn't happen just now…this next part is the last part…we…[laughing] I MESSED IT UP! [Quickly] Hey Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Kiki…[grins] J: …Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Yeah uhh…this part is uh, final section. Um, he told, told you guys um head shaking…but uh this part is not… head shaking yet [trans]? Show me the voice! Show me your beautiful voice, alright? YK: Are you guys going to show us your voice? Are you guys going to show us your beautiful voice? Uh…can I hear you guys sing? ['Man in a Movie' singing time with YK and MYDAY] YK: YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! I really wanted to hear that, because actually, that was the last song before we came on right? And you guys were singing along to it? [points off to stage right] And we were right behind there? And we heard you. So you're gonna sing us the next song we're going to play. Alright, sing it first, let's go. SONG: 'Congratulations' SONG: '예뻤어You Were Beautiful' SONG: 'I Loved You' SONG: '좋아합니다I Like You' [SPECIAL VCR] SONG: '놓아 놓아 놓아Letting Go' (Rebooted version) [Ending ments] J: Wow [laughing]. Uh, this is so sad…come with me [laughing more]. Ok, uh, so guys, today for me was a phenomenal day. First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans]. Honestly, distance-wise it's pretty far; this time and memories, even though these will become memories, we think about it in the past, we will be together [trans]. So please don't forget this moment and I promise we'll come back [trans]. Thank you so much for today [trans]. See you guys, thank you! DW: Ha. He kind of said everything I wanted to say, yeah [trans]. Uh, ok? It was such a good memory for us today, and I hope this is a good memory for you guys too [trans]. We will work so hard and come back to give you better energy [trans]. Wow, thank you! YK: How was DAY6 concert? How was MYDAYs? 'Cause I thought you guys were amazing. There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you. WP: So our first world tour, and we are so lucky that our first stop was here in Australia [trans]. I was expecting it, but I didn't know I would get this much love, energy…I'll never forget this moment, and I'll promise to come back [trans]. For us DAY6, thank you so much for making these precious moments [trans]. I love you too. Thank you for, appreciate it, yeah. I want to take picture. [DAY6 and MYDAY photo time] J: So we're really at the final part of the concert. But uh, you guys know how crazy it gets right, at the end of our shows? Do you not know how crazy it gets at the end of DAY6 shows? OH, just real quick, let's be, let's stay safe…[ suddenly, throwing his head and arms back dramatically] PREACH, YES JAE PREACH!! [Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you! [blows kiss] J: [the very last to leave, waving fondly at their MYDAY with both hands until he disappears] [Concert end] If you made it all the way to the end, thank you for reading!

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore
Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney.

Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today.

There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you.

[Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans].

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore
Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen.

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore
Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen.

Um, alright guys so we're gonna enjoy this, are y'all ready for the next section?! Is DAY6 ready for the next section?

[Frowning] This has been a miscalculation on my part…second floor, uh, would you like to sit down, or… do you want to keep standing? SEE Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY SAT DOWN, you guys can sit down if you want! It was a miscalculation at first, I was like, oh let's all party together, and then during the song you guys were like, what am I doing here?

BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! YK: [chagrined, and dripping with sarcasm] THANK YOU SYDNEY! [Back to normal]…Yeah, but sadly we're already at the last section of the concert [tech comes onstage], I was too excited, I was too hyped, so I kept stepping on the line? So, I actually plugged out the bass cord [laughing]. J: Honestly though, I think that today is just that kind of environment, like.. you know what I'm sayin'? Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk. So uh, we're gonna try to make that happen not in this next part now but…this next part…wait backtrack, that didn't happen just now…this next part is the last part…we…[laughing] I MESSED IT UP! [Quickly] Hey Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Kiki…[grins] J: …Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Yeah uhh…this part is uh, final section. Um, he told, told you guys um head shaking…but uh this part is not… head shaking yet [trans]? Show me the voice! Show me your beautiful voice, alright? YK: Are you guys going to show us your voice? Are you guys going to show us your beautiful voice? Uh…can I hear you guys sing? ['Man in a Movie' singing time with YK and MYDAY] YK: YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! I really wanted to hear that, because actually, that was the last song before we came on right? And you guys were singing along to it? [points off to stage right] And we were right behind there? And we heard you. So you're gonna sing us the next song we're going to play. Alright, sing it first, let's go. SONG: 'Congratulations' SONG: '예뻤어You Were Beautiful' SONG: 'I Loved You' SONG: '좋아합니다I Like You' [SPECIAL VCR] SONG: '놓아 놓아 놓아Letting Go' (Rebooted version) [Ending ments] J: Wow [laughing]. Uh, this is so sad…come with me [laughing more]. Ok, uh, so guys, today for me was a phenomenal day. First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans]. Honestly, distance-wise it's pretty far; this time and memories, even though these will become memories, we think about it in the past, we will be together [trans]. So please don't forget this moment and I promise we'll come back [trans]. Thank you so much for today [trans]. See you guys, thank you! DW: Ha. He kind of said everything I wanted to say, yeah [trans]. Uh, ok? It was such a good memory for us today, and I hope this is a good memory for you guys too [trans]. We will work so hard and come back to give you better energy [trans]. Wow, thank you! YK: How was DAY6 concert? How was MYDAYs? 'Cause I thought you guys were amazing. There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you. WP: So our first world tour, and we are so lucky that our first stop was here in Australia [trans]. I was expecting it, but I didn't know I would get this much love, energy…I'll never forget this moment, and I'll promise to come back [trans]. For us DAY6, thank you so much for making these precious moments [trans]. I love you too. Thank you for, appreciate it, yeah. I want to take picture. [DAY6 and MYDAY photo time] J: So we're really at the final part of the concert. But uh, you guys know how crazy it gets right, at the end of our shows? Do you not know how crazy it gets at the end of DAY6 shows? OH, just real quick, let's be, let's stay safe…[ suddenly, throwing his head and arms back dramatically] PREACH, YES JAE PREACH!! [Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you! [blows kiss] J: [the very last to leave, waving fondly at their MYDAY with both hands until he disappears] [Concert end] If you made it all the way to the end, thank you for reading! And if you attended the concert in Sydney, congratulations on creating these precious memories with DAY6! Still need more? If you're suffering from some serious post-concert depression right now, we prescribe one dose of footage from last years' 'Every DAY6 Concert' series while we wait for JYP Entertainment to release that 4k blu-ray 'Youth' tour content!

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore
Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year.

Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk.

What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans].

There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you.

[Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you!

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore
Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen.

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore
Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen. Transcript key SJ: Sungjin YK: Young K J: Jae WP: Wonpil DW: Dowoon DAY6: The band MYDAY: The audience [trans]: live translation KR-ENG at the concert 한글/Romanisation/ENG: post-concert translation [The concert opens after the added anticipation of a slightly late start] SONG: '반드시 웃는다I Smile' SONG: 'First Time' SONG: 'Better Better' [First round of banter for the night] SJ: Going, keep going; show me your energy, ok!

So, for this next little corner we're gonna do, we're gonna have to get a little bit hype, but, uh second floor please be careful?

So uh… MYDAY: [suddenly cheering loudly] J:…was it something I said? I never knew safety was such a great word [laughing]. Um, alright guys so we're gonna enjoy this, are y'all ready for the next section?! Is DAY6 ready for the next section? Let's get it on…[pauses as he realises he said something potentially racy, but laughs it off]. YK: [In the meantime, bursts into operatic vocals] READYYYYYY! ARE YOUUUU READYYYY! LET'S GOOOOOOO!

[Frowning] This has been a miscalculation on my part…second floor, uh, would you like to sit down, or… do you want to keep standing? SEE Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY SAT DOWN, you guys can sit down if you want! It was a miscalculation at first, I was like, oh let's all party together, and then during the song you guys were like, what am I doing here?

BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! YK: [chagrined, and dripping with sarcasm] THANK YOU SYDNEY! [Back to normal]…Yeah, but sadly we're already at the last section of the concert [tech comes onstage], I was too excited, I was too hyped, so I kept stepping on the line? So, I actually plugged out the bass cord [laughing]. J: Honestly though, I think that today is just that kind of environment, like.. you know what I'm sayin'? Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk. So uh, we're gonna try to make that happen not in this next part now but…this next part…wait backtrack, that didn't happen just now…this next part is the last part…we…[laughing] I MESSED IT UP! [Quickly] Hey Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Kiki…[grins] J: …Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Yeah uhh…this part is uh, final section. Um, he told, told you guys um head shaking…but uh this part is not… head shaking yet [trans]? Show me the voice! Show me your beautiful voice, alright? YK: Are you guys going to show us your voice? Are you guys going to show us your beautiful voice? Uh…can I hear you guys sing? ['Man in a Movie' singing time with YK and MYDAY] YK: YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! I really wanted to hear that, because actually, that was the last song before we came on right? And you guys were singing along to it? [points off to stage right] And we were right behind there? And we heard you. So you're gonna sing us the next song we're going to play. Alright, sing it first, let's go. SONG: 'Congratulations' SONG: '예뻤어You Were Beautiful' SONG: 'I Loved You' SONG: '좋아합니다I Like You' [SPECIAL VCR] SONG: '놓아 놓아 놓아Letting Go' (Rebooted version) [Ending ments] J: Wow [laughing]. Uh, this is so sad…come with me [laughing more]. Ok, uh, so guys, today for me was a phenomenal day. First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans]. Honestly, distance-wise it's pretty far; this time and memories, even though these will become memories, we think about it in the past, we will be together [trans]. So please don't forget this moment and I promise we'll come back [trans]. Thank you so much for today [trans]. See you guys, thank you! DW: Ha. He kind of said everything I wanted to say, yeah [trans]. Uh, ok? It was such a good memory for us today, and I hope this is a good memory for you guys too [trans]. We will work so hard and come back to give you better energy [trans]. Wow, thank you! YK: How was DAY6 concert? How was MYDAYs? 'Cause I thought you guys were amazing. There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you. WP: So our first world tour, and we are so lucky that our first stop was here in Australia [trans]. I was expecting it, but I didn't know I would get this much love, energy…I'll never forget this moment, and I'll promise to come back [trans]. For us DAY6, thank you so much for making these precious moments [trans]. I love you too. Thank you for, appreciate it, yeah. I want to take picture. [DAY6 and MYDAY photo time] J: So we're really at the final part of the concert. But uh, you guys know how crazy it gets right, at the end of our shows? Do you not know how crazy it gets at the end of DAY6 shows? OH, just real quick, let's be, let's stay safe…[ suddenly, throwing his head and arms back dramatically] PREACH, YES JAE PREACH!! [Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you! [blows kiss] J: [the very last to leave, waving fondly at their MYDAY with both hands until he disappears] [Concert end] If you made it all the way to the end, thank you for reading!

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore
Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore.

So, I actually plugged out the bass cord [laughing]. J: Honestly though, I think that today is just that kind of environment, like.. you know what I'm sayin'? Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk.

First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans].

There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you.

[Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you!

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore
Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen.

But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you. WP: So our first world tour, and we are so lucky that our first stop was here in Australia [trans]. I was expecting it, but I didn't know I would get this much love, energy…I'll never forget this moment, and I'll promise to come back [trans]. For us DAY6, thank you so much for making these precious moments [trans]. I love you too. Thank you for, appreciate it, yeah. I want to take picture. [DAY6 and MYDAY photo time] J: So we're really at the final part of the concert. But uh, you guys know how crazy it gets right, at the end of our shows? Do you not know how crazy it gets at the end of DAY6 shows? OH, just real quick, let's be, let's stay safe…[ suddenly, throwing his head and arms back dramatically] PREACH, YES JAE PREACH!! [Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you! [blows kiss] J: [the very last to leave, waving fondly at their MYDAY with both hands until he disappears] [Concert end] If you made it all the way to the end, thank you for reading!

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore
Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen. Transcript key SJ: Sungjin YK: Young K J: Jae WP: Wonpil DW: Dowoon DAY6: The band MYDAY: The audience [trans]: live translation KR-ENG at the concert 한글/Romanisation/ENG: post-concert translation [The concert opens after the added anticipation of a slightly late start] SONG: '반드시 웃는다I Smile' SONG: 'First Time' SONG: 'Better Better' [First round of banter for the night] SJ: Going, keep going; show me your energy, ok!

That's alright, I'll just go then [pretends to walk offstage, laughing]. WE NEED THE SECOND FLOOR TO STAND UP can you guys stand up real quick? So, for this next little corner we're gonna do, we're gonna have to get a little bit hype, but, uh second floor please be careful? [sways from side to side] that's cool, but none of this ok [jumps up and down]. We don't want accidents happening and your safety comes first ok? So uh… MYDAY: [suddenly cheering loudly] J:…was it something I said? I never knew safety was such a great word [laughing]. Um, alright guys so we're gonna enjoy this, are y'all ready for the next section?! Is DAY6 ready for the next section? Let's get it on…[pauses as he realises he said something potentially racy, but laughs it off]. YK: [In the meantime, bursts into operatic vocals] READYYYYYY! ARE YOUUUU READYYYY! LET'S GOOOOOOO!

[Frowning] This has been a miscalculation on my part…second floor, uh, would you like to sit down, or… do you want to keep standing? SEE Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY SAT DOWN, you guys can sit down if you want! It was a miscalculation at first, I was like, oh let's all party together, and then during the song you guys were like, what am I doing here?

BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! YK: [chagrined, and dripping with sarcasm] THANK YOU SYDNEY! [Back to normal]…Yeah, but sadly we're already at the last section of the concert [tech comes onstage], I was too excited, I was too hyped, so I kept stepping on the line? So, I actually plugged out the bass cord [laughing]. J: Honestly though, I think that today is just that kind of environment, like.. you know what I'm sayin'? Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk. So uh, we're gonna try to make that happen not in this next part now but…this next part…wait backtrack, that didn't happen just now…this next part is the last part…we…[laughing] I MESSED IT UP! [Quickly] Hey Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Kiki…[grins] J: …Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Yeah uhh…this part is uh, final section. Um, he told, told you guys um head shaking…but uh this part is not… head shaking yet [trans]? Show me the voice! Show me your beautiful voice, alright? YK: Are you guys going to show us your voice? Are you guys going to show us your beautiful voice? Uh…can I hear you guys sing? ['Man in a Movie' singing time with YK and MYDAY] YK: YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! I really wanted to hear that, because actually, that was the last song before we came on right? And you guys were singing along to it? [points off to stage right] And we were right behind there? And we heard you. So you're gonna sing us the next song we're going to play. Alright, sing it first, let's go. SONG: 'Congratulations' SONG: '예뻤어You Were Beautiful' SONG: 'I Loved You' SONG: '좋아합니다I Like You' [SPECIAL VCR] SONG: '놓아 놓아 놓아Letting Go' (Rebooted version) [Ending ments] J: Wow [laughing]. Uh, this is so sad…come with me [laughing more]. Ok, uh, so guys, today for me was a phenomenal day. First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans]. Honestly, distance-wise it's pretty far; this time and memories, even though these will become memories, we think about it in the past, we will be together [trans]. So please don't forget this moment and I promise we'll come back [trans]. Thank you so much for today [trans]. See you guys, thank you! DW: Ha. He kind of said everything I wanted to say, yeah [trans]. Uh, ok? It was such a good memory for us today, and I hope this is a good memory for you guys too [trans]. We will work so hard and come back to give you better energy [trans]. Wow, thank you! YK: How was DAY6 concert? How was MYDAYs? 'Cause I thought you guys were amazing. There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you. WP: So our first world tour, and we are so lucky that our first stop was here in Australia [trans]. I was expecting it, but I didn't know I would get this much love, energy…I'll never forget this moment, and I'll promise to come back [trans]. For us DAY6, thank you so much for making these precious moments [trans]. I love you too. Thank you for, appreciate it, yeah. I want to take picture. [DAY6 and MYDAY photo time] J: So we're really at the final part of the concert. But uh, you guys know how crazy it gets right, at the end of our shows? Do you not know how crazy it gets at the end of DAY6 shows? OH, just real quick, let's be, let's stay safe…[ suddenly, throwing his head and arms back dramatically] PREACH, YES JAE PREACH!! [Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys!

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore
Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore.

YK: Go Jae J: Alright, uh… how you guys doing so far, pretty good? We're going to move on with our set right, but before that, it might be a little bit dangerous for the people at the front, but we need floor two to stand up too, ok? No? That's alright, I'll just go then [pretends to walk offstage, laughing]. WE NEED THE SECOND FLOOR TO STAND UP can you guys stand up real quick? So, for this next little corner we're gonna do, we're gonna have to get a little bit hype, but, uh second floor please be careful? [sways from side to side] that's cool, but none of this ok [jumps up and down]. We don't want accidents happening and your safety comes first ok? So uh… MYDAY: [suddenly cheering loudly] J:…was it something I said? I never knew safety was such a great word [laughing]. Um, alright guys so we're gonna enjoy this, are y'all ready for the next section?! Is DAY6 ready for the next section? Let's get it on…[pauses as he realises he said something potentially racy, but laughs it off]. YK: [In the meantime, bursts into operatic vocals] READYYYYYY! ARE YOUUUU READYYYY! LET'S GOOOOOOO!

[Frowning] This has been a miscalculation on my part…second floor, uh, would you like to sit down, or… do you want to keep standing? SEE Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY SAT DOWN, you guys can sit down if you want! It was a miscalculation at first, I was like, oh let's all party together, and then during the song you guys were like, what am I doing here?

I love this Winter [laughing]. The weather was actually perfect wasn't it? WP: Sydney, uh, tonight is winter? Season, but um heat…it feels like I'm wearing a heat pack because this place…because I heard the beautiful voices of MYDAY my heart is warm [trans]. Yeah. So I'm not cold at all [trans]. I also want to stay in Sydney for more than two days [trans]. Yeah, I like it [trans]. Sungjin? Uh, Sungjin…Sungjin, uh what's that? [mumbling happily at the crowd] J: [to YK] Can you translate? YK: What, translate English to Korean?? J: [to WP] Ohh, you're speaking English??? MYDAY: [loud mixture of scandalised giggling and whooping] J: Oh, no no no! It's not like that, no, I was being curious, oh I swear! YK: [unable to contain his reaction, hollers] SAVAGE!!!! HARSH!!! [laughing] J: Wonpil was good, I'm sorry! MYDAY: [settling down again] YK: Guys, ah no, when we're on stage, when we're not wearing uh, our in-ear? Earphones? J: Uh huh YK: Uh, it's actually really hard to understand what anyone's saying. It's really…boomy? [laughs in Jae's direction]. [To Wonpil] Do you have anything more to say? WP: Yes, I already said but I'll do a bit more [trans]. I'll say more later [laughing].

BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! YK: [chagrined, and dripping with sarcasm] THANK YOU SYDNEY! [Back to normal]…Yeah, but sadly we're already at the last section of the concert [tech comes onstage], I was too excited, I was too hyped, so I kept stepping on the line? So, I actually plugged out the bass cord [laughing]. J: Honestly though, I think that today is just that kind of environment, like.. you know what I'm sayin'? Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk. So uh, we're gonna try to make that happen not in this next part now but…this next part…wait backtrack, that didn't happen just now…this next part is the last part…we…[laughing] I MESSED IT UP! [Quickly] Hey Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Kiki…[grins] J: …Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Yeah uhh…this part is uh, final section. Um, he told, told you guys um head shaking…but uh this part is not… head shaking yet [trans]? Show me the voice! Show me your beautiful voice, alright? YK: Are you guys going to show us your voice? Are you guys going to show us your beautiful voice? Uh…can I hear you guys sing? ['Man in a Movie' singing time with YK and MYDAY] YK: YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! I really wanted to hear that, because actually, that was the last song before we came on right? And you guys were singing along to it? [points off to stage right] And we were right behind there? And we heard you. So you're gonna sing us the next song we're going to play. Alright, sing it first, let's go. SONG: 'Congratulations' SONG: '예뻤어You Were Beautiful' SONG: 'I Loved You' SONG: '좋아합니다I Like You' [SPECIAL VCR] SONG: '놓아 놓아 놓아Letting Go' (Rebooted version) [Ending ments] J: Wow [laughing]. Uh, this is so sad…come with me [laughing more]. Ok, uh, so guys, today for me was a phenomenal day. First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans]. Honestly, distance-wise it's pretty far; this time and memories, even though these will become memories, we think about it in the past, we will be together [trans]. So please don't forget this moment and I promise we'll come back [trans]. Thank you so much for today [trans]. See you guys, thank you! DW: Ha. He kind of said everything I wanted to say, yeah [trans]. Uh, ok? It was such a good memory for us today, and I hope this is a good memory for you guys too [trans]. We will work so hard and come back to give you better energy [trans]. Wow, thank you! YK: How was DAY6 concert? How was MYDAYs? 'Cause I thought you guys were amazing. There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you. WP: So our first world tour, and we are so lucky that our first stop was here in Australia [trans]. I was expecting it, but I didn't know I would get this much love, energy…I'll never forget this moment, and I'll promise to come back [trans]. For us DAY6, thank you so much for making these precious moments [trans]. I love you too. Thank you for, appreciate it, yeah. I want to take picture. [DAY6 and MYDAY photo time] J: So we're really at the final part of the concert. But uh, you guys know how crazy it gets right, at the end of our shows? Do you not know how crazy it gets at the end of DAY6 shows? OH, just real quick, let's be, let's stay safe…[ suddenly, throwing his head and arms back dramatically] PREACH, YES JAE PREACH!! [Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you! [blows kiss] J: [the very last to leave, waving fondly at their MYDAY with both hands until he disappears] [Concert end] If you made it all the way to the end, thank you for reading!
