DAY6's Young K just shared stories about his band's latest massive concerts, his huge list of songwriting credits, and how he ended up singing an OST for 'My Royal Nemesis' in the episode of MBC's 'Best Peak' that aired on the 28th.
First of all, DAY6 is currently on a world tour celebrating their 10th debut anniversary, and their success right now is truly on another level. Sharing the big news, Young K announced, "We will be holding our encore concert at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena." Yang Sehyung was impressed, pointing out, "That's basically the top concert venue in South Korea," which led Young K to add:
"For our concert in Goyang, we had a total audience of 80,000 over just two days."
Naturally, when you hear '80,000 people,' you think about the paycheck. Jang Dongmin asked what we were all thinking, "With that many people coming to see you, how much do you actually make? I'm really curious." Young K jokingly replied:
"I made enough to order good food. I get to eat delicious meals."
However, Jang Dongmin didn't let him off that easily. He teased, "Don't you ever think, 'This tastes great,' then look at your bandmates on stage and think, 'Why am I sharing this delicious food with them? Maybe I should just do it all by myself?'" Young K burst out laughing and rolled with the joke, saying:
"That's why I'm preparing for a solo comeback. So I can order even better food."
The impressive stories kept coming. Boom brought up Young K's songwriting credits, sharing a surprising fact, "From what I know, you actually have more copyright registrations than G-Dragon. You write and compose most of your songs." Young K nodded and shared:
"I became a full member of the Korea Music Copyright Association this year. I currently have 219 songs registered."
To top the whole episode off, he treated everyone to the very first live performance of his new OST for the drama 'My Royal Nemesis,' which starts Lim Jiyeon and Heo Namjun. He revealed:
"Heo Namjun is a friend of mine. We're the same age. He reached out to me, and that's how I ended up doing the OST."
Looking back at where it all started, Young K debuted in 2015 as a member of DAY6 with their iconic debut track 'Congratulations.' Since then, they've become absolute legends in the Korean band scene, dropping a massive lineup of unskippable hits like 'You Were Beautiful,' 'Time of Our Life,' and 'Zombie.' Right now, DAY6 is celebrating their 10th debut anniversary with 'THE DECADE' world tour.
