DAY6 member Wonpil couldn’t hold back tears during a deeply touching moment at the group’s recent concert in Seoul.
On December 21, DAY6 (members Sungjin, Young KWonpil e Dowoon) performed their special concert, The present, at the Gocheok Sky Dome, marking a historic milestone as the first K-pop band to take the stage at this iconic and enormous venue.
The two-day event celebrated the band’s decade-long journey, featuring songs from their debut album through to their latest mini-album, Bandaid, released in September this year.
DAY6 is so crazy for performing Still There, Didn’t Know, YWB and Like A Flowing Wind, and congratulations one after another with a real orchestra, bye 🥲

Of course, there was no shortage of hits like “You Were Beautiful” in the setlist.
The highlight of the evening came during the performance of the debut song “Congratulations,” highlighted by a live orchestra of 56 musicians. The grandiose arrangement, combined with a finale full of confetti, left the audience fascinated and excited.
During the show, Wonpil was visibly emotionally overwhelmed, pausing at some points as tears welled up in his eyes.

After returning to the stage, the DAY6 star shared his thoughts and explained why he suddenly burst into tears.
I felt so grateful to be able to be on a stage like this. We’ve worked hard this year, pouring our energy into songwriting and a busy schedule. We’ve come this far, hand in hand with My Day (the official name of the fandom), and being able to perform on this stage with the people we love has thrilled me.
