SEOUL, September 4 (AJP) - K-pop rock band Day6 will release its fourth full-length album on Friday, just ahead of its 10th anniversary, its agency said Thursday.
The new album, "The Decade," is set to drop on Friday, nearly six years after their last full-length release, and will feature the band's first-ever double title tracks, "Dream Bus" and "Inside Out." Consisting of 10 tracks, the album celebrates their past decade and explores stories of life and love.
Starting in mid-August, the band unveiled a trailer and track previews on their social media channels, and recently released a sampler video offering snippets of all tracks. To mark their anniversary, the band is staging various fan events, including a world tour, pop-up events, and visual posters showcasing their discography. They also plan to release a documentary reflecting on their decade-long journey, along with in-house content featuring four members.
Formed under major music agency JYP Entertainment, the band debuted on Sept. 7, 2015, with the mini-album "The Day" and its title track "Congratulations." Originally a six-member band, Day6 now performs as a quartet consisting of Sung-jin, Young K, Won-pil, and Do-woon.
Often described as a late bloomer, the band did not immediately gain the spotlight after their debut. But while members were away for mandatory military service, their older songs, particularly "You Were Beautiful" (2017) and "Time of Our Life" (2019), belatedly climbed back onto the charts in 2023, gaining them new listeners. This milestone made them the first K-pop band to perform at Gocheok Sky Dome, one of the country's largest indoor concert venues, and just last month, they successfully held a tour concert at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi Province before an even larger audience.
They have carved out a unique role in the K-pop industry by playing their own instruments on stage and actively participating in songwriting and composing. Known for emotional lyrics and strong melodies, Day6 continues to blur the line between idol group and rock band, earning a reputation as one of the most distinctive acts in the K-pop scene.
