DAY6 as Alternative/Indie/Rock Songs
Day6 are already rock legends, but here are the songs I associate with each member!
SUNGJIN
Alpha — Little Destroyer
I’m not exactly sure why this gives Sungjin vibes, it just does
I think it’s the chorus that reminds me of how Sungjin can dominate stage presence and also as a leader
YOUNGK
The Phoenix — Fall Out Boy
I CAN HEAR HIM SINGING THE VERSES
Like oml this just screams Brian YoungK
“So COME ON! Put on your WAR PAINT!” like that part
WONPIL
This Is War — Matthew Raetzel ft. Richard Farrell
I think I’m being influenced to say this is Wonpil because there’s piano
But idk, if you raise the pitch then it could be a Wonpil song!!
The vibes really vibe w/Wonpil tho imo, at least when I first listened to it
DOWOON
Blues Train — Tom Auton
I think he'd have a lot of fun playing this!! The rhythm changes at the end too which would be challenging but fun
And idk something about the chorus and bridge screams Dowoon
WHOLE GROUP
Sign — Jeremy Renner
YO CAN Y’ALL COVER THIS PLS THX
Bros. They could 100% believably pull this off both alone and with Jeremy Renner himself
I can hear YoungK’s voice doing "I was looking for a signnnnn... ONE TWO THREE" & then Wonpil going "I need smth to beLIEVe iN"
tbh Jeremy Renner × Day6 should happen like pls I want to hear that amazing rock pls thx
BONUS: JAE
Bad — Royal Deluxe
(I’m hesitant to include him since he left the group, but I made this post years ago before he did so I already had a song for him)
I can 100% hear Jae’s voice singing this or at least some version of it!!

MUSE : d.owoon seong PLOT : ‘ i slept with you the other day and i didnt know we had a mutual friend and now we’re sitting across each other for brunch and it’s awkward because i ran out when you were asleep ‘
to say that he felt awkward was an understatement, especially having never heard her name in conversation between him and his friend. or perhaps her name had been dropped and it didn’t stick because why would there ever be a reason to remember a random’s name? but at this point, she wasn’t random. she was real and sitting opposite him and he’s lost for words because the one and only time he’d seen her before this was when she was sleeping soundly in her bed before making his escape. ❝ so, uh, how do you two... know each other? ❞

open to anyone.
sometimes dowoon could go a bit overboard when it came to presents. he had saved one for last, just because he had to wait for the confirmation. but he wanted to give the other this one, just so that way he didn’t surprise them a week before the said vacation. while sitting in a cafe with the other, he slid across an envelope to them. “don’t worry -- it’s in two months, not a week. so you don’t have to get mad at me for doing something last minute.” the male explains while a small smile plays on his lips. “hopefully you’ll like it -- it’s a trip.” a trip to santorini, greece. which is something dowoon has been hinting at for a few weeks, so hopefully the other will be surprised.

legacy dropped several videos today on their youtube channel and with each one named after the trainee, i was curious what these videos were about. but after watching through all of them, i realized that some of the boys were performing similar songs which got me thinking… is this legacy’s way of testing the waters to see how we think about the trainees?? with legacy confirming recently that future dreams season 5 is happening, i think they wanted to hype the show by giving us an idea of who might be joining… based on my observations on the videos, this is what i figured out:
cameron vs maximilian ( wonderland )
dowoon vs parker ( look )
indy vs jiahn ( the eye )
keeho vs tee ( dramarama )
there are a few trainees that we’ve seen in the past… like tee has been previous family concerts and vlive shows so we know he’s a dancer ( a really good one to add ). then there’s jiahn who i remembered as one of jaehyuk’s backup dancers from the last family concert ( his performance there really impressed me the most! ) indy and cameron both made their appearances with the truth untold osts so we know how good they are as a rapper and singer respectively… so it brings me to this question, will all of them be a part of a new boy group??? idk, someone please share me their thoughts!! i’m curious if anyone is noticing what lgc is doing with them dropping all of these videos!! ㅠㅠ
[ + / - ] another group?? ㅋㅋㅋ i don’t think they can do that when they can barely keep some of their members in their groups… i’m looking at you, type zero and v&a 👀 [ + / - ] song jiahn??? omg he’s sooooo underrated! i don’t get why he doesn’t get that much hype and seeing his performance in here, you can tell he is the trainee to look forward to!! i was so mesmerized during family concert and seeing him perform the eye here is just…woah… [ + / - ] tee has been in legacy for so long as a trainee that i’m wondering if he’ll get a chance to debut?? he seems like a decent dancer, but his years of experience doesn’t quite show in this video? [ + / - ] while watching max and cameron’s performances side by side, i felt that max’s hair stood out too much… and not in a good way… ㅠㅠ it made his performance so lackluster… ㅠㅠㅠㅠ [ + / - ] parker… he seems like a fun guy based on what i saw on the variety shows but he surprised me a lot when i saw his performance video. tbh it’s hard to compare parker and dowoon’s performances because they showed their strengths so well. i guess we’ll find out in future dreams who is the better one since it’s a close fight that’s for sure! [ + / - ] i know cameron’s vocal capabilities thanks to the truth untold (which is worth the listen!! ♡) and seeing this vid, he’s not that bad?? sure his rapping isn’t the best but he makes it up by giving us such a fun performance. [ + / - ] i was certain that indy was a good rapper, but dancing??? WOW!!! 😍 he’s probably one of my favorite dancers! fighting, indy!! noona will support you in future dreams! [ + / - ] i watched lgc style and ended up being a fan of keeho but seeing his video, i want to support him even more! if he’s going to be in future dreams, i’m going to vote as much as i can for him! he’s such a skilled performer and has the personality too! ♡♡♡ [ + / - ] out of all of the performance videos i’ve seen, dowoon is the one that i’m most interested in. if he joins future dreams, what will he showcase? if this video gives us a glimpse of his skills, i feel as if he has a lot more in store that we’re unaware of… but i’m worried too that he might not meet my expectations either if there are other trainees who are talented... ㅠㅠ [ + / - ] legacy is so blatantly obvious with their favoritism… ㅋㅋㅋ they will put ALL of this effort towards their male trainees but what about the girls??? i want to know more about them!! 😤 if crystallis and fabula are the superior groups in this gen, then imagine how the female trainees are!!

FUTURE DREAMS S5 SCENARIOS : week three COUNT : 826 words
back for another interview, this time he sits confidently and comfortably. he has one performance down with future dreams already, and as much as he loves performing, he’s glad he doesn’t have to stress over one this week. then, the first question, “where would you rank yourself among the other participants this season?”
dowoon had watched the previous seasons of future dreams religiously, so he should have expected the ranking system to return. but, he’s still taken aback when faced with the question. it’s a dilemma for him. does he be confident and put himself among the top? he had been given praise during the last trainee evaluation. but, after last weeks performances, he’s lost a bit of his confidence. he thought his performance was good, but some of the other trainees showed off their versatility and range of skills that impressed dowoon. he worried the judges would ping him for a one-trick-pony. he worried maybe he was just a singer, not ready for the demands of an idol.
he decided to go with honesty. those were the kind of contestants he rooted for when he watched, the trainees that were genuine with their thoughts. “right now, i would honestly put myself pretty low. maybe 15?” he admitted solemnly. “i don’t think i’m at the bottom, but i still have a lot to improve in if i want to win.” he was making progress, but he still didn’t think he was quite there yet. thinking that was a somber note to end his response on, he raised his fist and added, energetically, “which i will work hard to do, so please cheer me on this season!” directly to the camera.
the second question is a lot more antagonistic than he ever thought himself to be. dowoon isn’t someone that liked competition. he never had a natural competitive spirit and hated when he was disliked. he didn’t want any of the trainees (who he could be placed in a group with down the line) think ill of him. “hmm, that’s hard actually! i don’t want to call anyone out...” but this is a competition, he reminds himself silently. he has to bring out the small competitive spirit inside of him for this show.
“first, singing, i will say” there were a lot of good vocalists in this season, all of which he would like to prove himself against. he consides keeho [ @lgckeeho ] would be a good choice. he had a good voice and is an excellent all around performer. but he goes with the predictable, “su parker [ @lgcparker ], who i think will probably be everyone’s pick for singing and a hyung i really respect” he answered. “not only is he, in my opinion, the best vocalist this season, we have competed as trainees and i enjoyed that time, so i would like to do it again if given the chance.” they were able to collaborate while in direct competition with one another, which dowoon really valued. “our skillsets are also similar, even though i think he’s a lot farther along than i am. so, i think us competing is pretty natural.”
“we have a lot of good dancers this season so it’s little intimidating.” despite his improvements, dance was still a sore spot for dowoon. he wanted to catch up to everyone around him and he was, but after last week’s performances, he was still lagging behind a lot of the trainees. “even though he’s a lot better than me, i would like to go against lee indy [ @indylgc ] in dance!” he said with confidence after a moment of contemplation. “didn’t he do so well last week? his dancing is always fun to watch and he executed the concept really well.” indy’s was one of the more memorable performances from the week before and refreshed dowoon during the hours of shooting. “he’s also taught me a lot about dance. i would like to go against him to show how much i’ve improved, with his help.”
he was avoiding talking about rap, his worst skill. once again, there were a lot of good rappers to consider. however, since that was a skill he felt the least confident in, he thought he should go with a safer pick. “for rap, i will pick song jiahn [ @lgcjiahn ]” he said finally. “while i’m not very close with this trainee, i have seen from afar that he is talented in a lot of different areas. from what i have seen, we are at simliar levels in rapping. i would like to go against him so we could try to get closer and see who would pull ahead in the end.” dowoon felt shy basically asking this guy he was a friend of a friend of to compete, but it was too late now. with all of the questions answered, he left the interview with a polite goodbye and a slightly blush on his face.

Daesik Lagi
Aku sebangga itu kalo Day6 makin dikenal banyak orang huhuhu. Biar pada melek kalo mereka punya kualitas musik yg melebihi anak band pada umumnya.
Di comeback kali ini gue liat pada makin banyak yg ngereact. Dari berbagai macem kalangan. My Day knows kalo album kali ini semacam sebuah terapi untuk sembuh. Untuk bangkit dan bisa mensyukuri hidup. Istilah Negentropy untuk nama albumnya menandakan bahwa dunia yg tadinya merupakan sebuah sistem ketidakberaturan (Enthropy, album sebelumnya) sekarang perlahan sudah tersusun dengan baik dan menjadi kesatuan yg utuh.
Gue belum dengerin semua lagu barunya. Sengaja wkwkw. Selain takut mabok, gue masih ingin dimanjakan dengan lagu lagu mereka yg lama punya. Yang genrenya beragam, dari yang sweet, galau, galak, sampe gabut haha. Lagu Be Lazy gabut beut sumpah, disuruh gogoleran aja di kasur seharian.
Oiya trus kepikiran, kalo April tahun lalu itu gue pertama kalinya into Day6 dan memilih Jae sebagai my baby bias. Sebenernya sebelum itu udah lama tau lagunya yang Days Gone By, hasil dari ngintipin hape siswa dulu pas doi buka yutub wkwkw. Lalu (gak) sengaja lagu Yepposseo lewat di rekomendasi dan hamba langsung merasa.......
.......yeppo.
*plak*
Berangkat dari dua lagi itu gais, maka setelahnya sudah bisa ditebak apa yg terjadi. Iya, gue ulik lebih banyak lagu-lagu lain. Time of Our Life, cinta banget ituuu, ngingetin sama One Ok Rock. Gue masih inget, pagi pagi gue bangun, sarapan, trus leptopan di ruang tamu sambil buka website untuk mengunduh mp3. Pas gue denger preview lagu lagu mereka, heran anjir hampir gak ada yg jelek.
Trus pelan pelan gue telusuri satu satu sambil kepoin liriknya. Kagak main main sih gila, gak ada yg sopan. Congratulation penuh penderitaan dibalut sarcasm, Yepposseo penuh kenangan dibalut rasa kangen ke mantan, Shoot Me penuh emosi dibalut kerendahan hati, For Me penuh obrolan hangat dengan diri sendiri, I Would diisi full penyesalan, Still.... STILL itu alert banget. Jangan dengerin pas lagi hujan dan punya hubungan yg sedang di ambang punah. Liriknya yg terkesan sweet dan legowo itu akan membuat anda ambiyar, nyeri sampe ke ubun ubun.
Ada satu lagu mereka yg sekali gue denger reff nya nyantol mulu. Nancep paripurna. Gue kesulitan waktu itu buat nyari tau judul lagunya apaaa (saking banyaknya lagu mereka). Oh got it. Judulnya Colors. Liriknya mirip mirip True Colors-nya Anna Kendrick ft. Justin Timberlake. Vibenya kek lagu lagu indie dengan permainan gitar Jae yg bikin oleng.
Kalo disuruh milih lagu favorit pusing. Tiap bulan pasti ganti. But for me it's Day and Night. Ini tuh punya kesan ceria, auto joged pokoknya. Tapi liriknya khan maen. Gak ceria sama sekali. Lagi bucin juga sama Stop Talking, semacam anthem utk membungkam netijen yg suka komen ngasal gak pake perasaan. Oiya favorit beat drumnya Dowoon itu gue hibahkan ke lagu Love Me or Leave Me sama I Hope. It's a concrete prove that he is a real genius drum(mer). Tuh pusing kan. Empat aja gak cukup.
Duh, banyak gais. Kalo diceritain tu atu ntar jadi novel berseri. All i wanna tell is selama setahun ini gue tumbuh ditemenin sama musik mereka. Ada lagu lagu yg awalnya gue nilai tuh biasa aja, gak ngefek apa-apa. Tapi setelah direact musisi lain dan bagi mereka itu sangat wow daebak, gue jadi candu parah. Marathon, Deep in Love dan Man in A Movie adalah salah tiganya.
Kembalinya mereka dengan album baru kayak hadiah genap setahun aing menjadi MyDay. Meski agak sedih ngeliat papa Sungjin makin kuyus, tapi setidaknya mereka full team. Kalo kata salah satu komenan netijen sih, mereka yang kerja keras, aku yang bangga.
:")
Being My Day was the best decision i have ever made in my life. Wish all member health and happiness ❤️

Meet the indie kings of K-town, DAY6
DAY6 prove that there's more than one way to cut the K-pop cake.
If you think K-pop and think all singing all dancing big budget with bells on, you’d be… well, you’d be right, but that’s not all the genre has to offer.
Enter DAY6, the indie kings of K Town, who’ve always stood out among their label mates for writing and composing all of their own music, and favouring playing their instruments on stage over tightly choreographed dance routines. They’re signed to JYP, a Korean entertainment company, also home to Korea’s favourite girl group TWICE, multi-talented Wembley conquerors GOT7, and fast-rising young ‘ens Stray Kids and ITZY, meaning DAY6 get all the fun of the K-pop fair without losing their own artistic freedom.
When Dork meets vocalist and guitarist Jae, and vocalist and bassist Young K – remaining members Sungjin (vocals/guitar), Wonpil (vocals/keyboards), and Dowoon (drums) are getting ready for show time – it’s the day of their massive Brixton Academy show, about an hour before they go on, to be precise. Judging by our slot, they’re extremely busy boys.
It’s not their first time over here, in fact it’s almost exactly a year since they last played London, previously packing out the Kentish Town Forum.
“We’ve definitely taken a step to become a little bit more live music orientated,” says Jae. “We focused on energy before, but we felt even more importance of getting the energy in our live show, especially with the ‘Gravity’ album, and we used the ‘Entropy’ album to kind of aid us in generating that energy I guess, you know, the back and forth with the audience, and just to make it a better night. That’s definitely been our biggest evolution as a group since last time.”
The Brixton show is part of their ‘Gravity’ world tour – although there’s been another full length (‘Entropy’) since, crikey K-pop moves fast – which means we’re not treated to many of the new songs live, but to be fair, we’re not sure they could fit them into the already two-hour long set.
‘Gravity’ and ‘Entropy’ make up the ‘Book Of Us’ series, an EP and and album focused around being in a relationship.
“The first one was ‘Gravity’, which was the beginning, and then ‘Entropy’ was anything beyond that,” Young K says of the record. “So anything beyond the beginning, any changes, good changes, bad changes, especially the title song, ‘Sweet Chaos’.”
The song is definitely a representation of the whole record, if only metaphorically, as ‘Entropy’ weaves its way through every genre you could think of, it’s chaotic at least. ‘Sweet Chaos’ is the most pop-punk they’ve ever gone (think old Fall Out Boy), ‘EMERGENCY’ is big retro bop complete with video game sounds and a horn section, ‘365247’ could’ve come straight off 5SOS’s ‘Youngblood’ album, ‘About Now’ is a lo-fi little bedroom pop ditty, and that’s only four of the tracks. The huge mix of genres is a result of the boys writing their own bits everywhere and bringing the songs together in the end to create the album.
“We went into a song camp session, which is like, all of the members split up into different rooms with a bunch of songwriters, and so we came up with a lot of different songs, different genres, anything that we wanted to try, and that all added up being ‘Entropy’,” explains Young K.
“I feel like for every song, most of them came from the song camp, so each member would do one song per idea, so we’d have like thirty songs at the end of one session right, so I feel like with that being the case, everyone had different inspirations,” adds Jae.
“We wrote parts of the album individually, and the hodgepodge of all those songs became the album, therefore there was no genre continuation,” he continues. “So with each song, the energy might be a little different but overall, our goal in the end is just to put out good energy and be able to bring our listeners along for our journeys.”
They’ve always experimented with different genres, namely on their ‘Every DAY6’ project, where they put out two songs every month in 2017. They’re just having fun with it and enjoying showing all of the different sides DAY6 have to offer.
“I would definitely say ‘Sweet Chaos’ is the one I’m most proud of writing,” says Young K, “because it’s the most recent title song, and I think it represents the most recent DAY6. That, and ‘Like A Flowing Wind’, ‘Mine’, I think a group favourite was ‘Not Fine’, and ‘How To Love’ from ‘Gravity’.”
As the group’s primary songwriter, Young K wrote ‘Gravity’ in its entirety, and eight of the eleven songs on ‘Entropy’, with Jae and Wonpil chipping in for the other three. It’s pretty rare in K-pop for a group to get that much input in their own songs, with most companies hiring teams to write behind the scenes (not that that is much different from the way we do things over here in the ‘West’), but it’s even sweeter that the boys would open up about their relationships in song too, especially considering dating a bit of a taboo in K-pop. What can we say, it’s proper Real Music stuff, Dear Reader.
As a company, JYP Entertainment seems to give its acts plenty of freedom and input in their music. Alongside DAY6, members of GOT7 and Stray Kids have been given the chance to produce their own tracks; knowing that the artists are given some independence and an opportunity to present themselves musically the way they’d want to be seen removes some of those ideas that K-pop is extremely regimented. That being said, when we ask if they have a hand in the creation of the videos and concepts that are so vital in K-pop, we’re met with a straight “nope” from Jae, and hefty laugh. “Yeah we just focus on the music and let the company expand on it,” explains Young K. Fair enough, they’ve probably got plenty on.
We were also curious as to whether they felt any pressure to go down the EDM/pop route, like many other groups, but it sounds like they’re pretty comfy doing their own thing. Plus, they still get to do fun things every now and again, like the music video for ‘EMERGENCY’, which they jokingly put a little dance routine together for, and being part of a huge company has never negatively affected the group.
“To be honest, in the beginning, a lot of people didn’t know we were part of JYP, so they didn’t expect anything from us,” says Young K. “To them, we were just a band in the beginning, then as it went on they realised we were from JYP, when we started doing more K-pop things.”
Jae adds, “In our first year, we went around the Hongdae area and got in the band scene, and after we played live for a while, the dudes from JYP were like what’s up, and we joined them, but at the start no one really expected us to sound any particular way.”
Since our chat, Jae has started releasing solo music under the name eaJ, working closely with 88 rising, an Asian-American collective of artists (Rich Brian, Joji, NIKI, ring any bells?) who he’s happy to big up. “There’s a lot of really good artists coming out, especially like with representation in the states,” he says. “There’s a lot of amazing artists coming up that we all listen to, and 88 has amazing toplines, a great vibe, they’re upping the standards for Asian representation.”
So with Jae experimenting with solo stuff, what’s coming next for DAY6 after they wrap this world tour?
He says, “To be completely honest with you, we’re not sure. We just keep on writing good music, but we’re just tryna make our path, make our next title song for our next album, so whether we complete the ‘Book Of Us’ concept or whether we do something else, we’re not sure. All we can say is that we’re focused on the music.”

7, 8, 19, 27??
7: What do you love most about Kpop?
I love a lot of things, but I thoroughly enjoy the community for the most part. I’ve met a lot of my closest friends through the music, so it holds a special place in my heart in that regard.
8: Do you only listen to Kpop?
No, I listen to other music too! Classical, indie, alternative, rap, etc. K-Music is my primary music, though!
19: What do you look for in a bias?
Honestly, it’s difficult for me to choose a solid bias, but when I do, they’re usually the funniest/sweetest ones of the group, and/or the underrated member - if that makes sense?
27: If you could hang out with one idol, who would you hang out with?
Wonho 🤧
It’s kind of a tie between Sunmi, Jooheon, and Day6’s Dowoon tbh ~
I sent you your numbers to your inbox!
Let’s play a game while I make this update! Send me a number and I’ll give you one back!

intro |
hello there! I’m a new kpop blog (hmm, still doesn’t sit right with me.)
basically, just a place to let loose the fangirl in me. perhaps I’ll be writing some stuff too because writing’s nice.
so I’m looking for mutuals! like or rb if you like the groups/soloists I mention down below and I’ll give you a follow.
• Red Velvet (bias: yeri) • Day6 (bias: dowoon) • Pentagon (bias: kino) • Block B (bias: jaehyo) • So Soo Bin • CHEEZE • W24
I also occasionally listen to Seventeen (bias: vernon), June, Voisper, CNBLUE (bias: minhyuk), Super Junior (bias: ryeowook), Laboum and Apink.
And I goddamn love k-indie. let’s be cool mutuals.
