OK so long story short, I had mixed opinions about going for the concert cause it’s expensive for an average student like me but my friends wanted to go!!! So in the end I kinda succumbed to the peer pressure (LOL) and bought the ticket! It felt surreal even then but I was still kinda uncertain whether I would truly enjoy the concert. I hadn’t been following them closely, so I felt like I don’t deserve to go for it.

Anyway, fast forward, I had a stressful week, that DAY6′s concert became something I looked forward to. When the day came, I was still in disbelief that I am going to a DAY6 concert! And it’s my very first concert in the years that I have been living. And I’m gonna see DAY6 perform LIVE. Damn, it sounded like a dream, but it came true yet it still feels like a dream!

When I reached the concert venue, it was kind of a culture shock to me. I knew of fan supports, fan goods and the like. I knew they exist since I see them on the internet, but experiencing it first-hand was really different. It was actually overwhelming for me? That fans actually do this for free? I was trying so hard to comprehend this! Y’all are so precious and kind to be doing these for other fans!  Y’all are the MVPs!!! There was a girl that gave out photocards at the escalator and I got a Sungjin photocard! Mr_HuntK, thank you so much for it!! Honestly, I was kinda embarrassed and flustered that these fans are so expressive in their love for DAY6 while I’m the kind to hide it away. I don’t buy their official merchandise or I don’t show off that I like them or whatever, so I felt inferior to these fans! It was kinda like a blow to my self-esteem, in a sense? That I’m not a good fan? That I’m not a proud DAY6 fan????

But!!! My heart was swelling with pride the moment I saw the boys onstage and playing their music!!! The boys were so great I just!!!! I felt like a proud mom???? I’m not the best fan, that’s for sure, but I still watched them grow as a band. I haven’t been closely following them, but I do listen to their new releases and from time to time, I do check for updates. But still, I have been with them since their debut, ever since my friend introduced me to them. And to see them where they are now... I was so proud of them throughout the concert! I was smiling, watching them with fond eyes and with so much pride!!! The boys were killin’ it, man!!!! They’ve gone so far!!! They’ve grown so much! Throughout the whole concert, my mind kept saying, “These kids are truly talented musicians!” Their solos were so great! Dowoon had a drumstick flying off halfway, but it’s okay! He was still cool and he played so well, I am just so proud of him!!! I truly like Sungjin’s solo the most (maybe because he’s my bias LOL). But I was really in awe when they had their solos. I just kept having thoughts like “Damn, these kids can really play so well! They’re so good at it! I’m so proud!”

I didn’t check the previous setlists at all, because I wanted myself to enjoy the flow. And I kept getting surprised by the songs they performed! Especially the mash-ups. I was in awe that the different songs actually sound so good together! And it just got me thinking again that DAY6 is really a talented band. Also, I was pleasantly surprised that they performed songs that I truly like. But then again, when has DAY6 ever had a bad song, right?

Dowoon, Sungjin and Wonpil tried their best to speak English and they were all so adorable! Whenever they tried, I couldn’t help but smile so wide. And I forgot about how awkward Dowoon is but he’s so adorable I cannot help but smile fondly! Sungjin’s English has improved a lot that I was really surprised! These boys are just so hardworking, I’m just so proud of them beyond words.

Sungjin and YoungK got a little emotional towards the end, that they teared up and they were trying to hold back their tears. And it’s just amazing how these boys are humble and that is something I love about them. They’ve grown so much, they deserve so much love and they’re still humble and I really hope they’re continue to stay humble and continue to produce good music and continue to be good performers.

One thing I realized during the concert was that I don’t have a bias in DAY6 anymore. I like all of them equally. My seat was on the 2nd floor, so these boys looked tiny to me. Despite the distance, they still shined so bright to me! Each and every one of them are so special in their own way, I didn’t know who to focus on! All of them were shining so brightly in their own color I just didn’t want to miss out on anything! I always thought I was a Sungjin bias but I guess I just bias DAY6 in general. I kept looking at each and every member for a good few seconds because I just wanted to see them all.

Anyway, for the technical aspects of the concert, the lights were good! The ocean of lights in the audience was beautiful! The visuals on the screens were done so well, there’s nothing much I can complain about! The only thing I didn’t like was that, the camera didn’t show Jae when he was playing his guitar solo in the songs such as Colors. They showed other members on the screen instead. But well, maybe it was my fault for not focusing? I don’t know. And since it’s the first time I ever went to a concert, I felt the sound system wasn’t so good? But at the same time, I think I’m just not used to being in a concert so I had no idea what’s it supposed to be like LOL. But whatever, their voices still shined and I still enjoyed it all entirely. I can’t really complain since I finally got to hear them playing the instruments loud and clear hehe. Oh and I didn’t really like how the security was strict about photography and videography? I guess it’s a good thing because at least people are not holding up their phones and blocking people’s view. But then again, I do want to record something for myself... Oh well. In the end, I let myself immerse in the concert and enjoy it without being distracted about my phone.

On a side note, I honestly hope I wasn’t a nuisance to the people around me cause I was rocking hella hard to their songs, singing my heart out (with my bad skills), trying my best to do the fanchants (which was probably wrong welps), cheering for the boys whenever they did anything, jumping up and down and waving my hand and whatever else I may have done. I really hope I wasn’t a nuisance to anyone and that I didn’t cause anyone to not enjoy the concert!!! But Jae was saying to get all hyped and I was all like “Ain’t nothing gonna stop me from having the fun and letting loose!!” But ok, I really hope I wasn’t a nuisance.

I actually expected myself to cry because I am quite a sensitive person but in the end, I didn’t tear up during the concert. Instead, my heart was filled with so much pride about DAY6. Okay, maybe I almost cried. Especially when I watched their 1st win on the fan video... That was a milestone for them, but I couldn’t help but feel genuinely happy instead. These boys really deserve more love for their work.

To DAY6, thank you for the amazing concert! Your performances were awesome! It’s a 2.5 hr I will never forget, and I don’t regret a single bit (but well, maybe my wallet does but it’s okay! It was worth it!) Honestly, I didn’t know I needed this concert until I experienced it! The way you boys actually got us to let loose and fully enjoy the concert, thank you, really. You boys are such good performers, I’m just so proud of you! You boys have grown so much, improved so much I just feel so proud that I don’t even know how to express it anymore!! :’) I’m not the best fan or the number 1 fan, but you boys are just so amazing with what you do, I will always support your music. You boys are doing so well, and I really hope the band will continue to do even better! Here’s to more great music from DAY6!

To fellow MyDays that attended the Singapore concert, you guys are amazing. For the fan projects, the fan video, for being hyped for the concert, and for having a (generally) good behavior, I really thank you guys for making this concert a memorable one, not only for DAY6, but for my own self. DAY6 would be proud! :’)
