Day6 make long-awaited return with new single ‘Welcome to the Show’
South Korean band Day6 have released their new single ‘Welcome to the Show’, their first as full group in almost three years.
‘Welcome to the Show’ leads Day6’s brand-new album ‘Fourever’. The music video for the new song captures the band performing the song in a studio, alongside a loose storyline about a couple falling in love.
“The future that you’re welcoming with me might be risky / But there might also be tear-filled impassion / Even so, if you won’t let go of my hand / If so, then let’s go, welcome to the show,” they sing on the anthemic new song.
Speaking to The Korea Times, Day6 said that they had “opted for a more upbeat song as the title track” as compared to the “melancholic tone” of their previous singles hoping to “exude a welcoming and exhilarating vibe”.
‘Fourever’ marks Day6’s first album as a full group in nearly three years, now that all four members have completed their mandatory military service. Their last music together was April 2021’s ‘The Book Of Us: Negentropy’, the fourth in the band’s ‘The Book Of Us’ series of albums.
The group debuted with six members, however have carried on with activities as a quartet after keyboardist and vocalist Junhyeok left the band in 2016 – just a year after their debut – and guitarist and vocalist Jae left in 2021. Day6 now comprises Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil and Dowoon.
In other K-pop news, boyband Tomorrow X Together (TXT) also announced that they would be releasing a new mini-album titled ‘minisode 3: Tomorrow’ in April. It will mark the quintet’s first music of 2024, with their last having been released in October 2023, led by title track ‘Chasing That Feeling’.
