  • 6 Day6 Songs That Overwhelm Us With Feels

    6 Day6 Songs That Overwhelm Us With Feels

    Since debuting in 2015 with the mini album The Day, fronted by “Congratulations”, South Korean band Day6 has continuously impressed, treating fans and casual listeners alike with a wide-ranging discography that explores various themes — from growing up, relationships, life, and so much more.

    Each year was a witness to how much the band, composed of Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon, has evolved and beautifully showcased their colors as a unique group and the first and only band to debut under JYP Entertainment. Recently back with their third studio album titled The Book of Us: Entropy, the boys continue to expand their music and venture into other themes. According to Young K during the press conference held in commemoration of the album’s release, The Book of Us: Entropy sings about the interactions between people and represents the warmth and coldness of these relationships. It also saw the band try variety of genres.

    With their amazing releases, Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon continue to leave their mark in the music industry as Day6 — a group that stays timeless and sing about every moment. And in appreciation for the music of Day6 and in anticipation of the boys’ return to the Philippine concert stage on November 23 at the SMART Araneta Coliseum, we listed down six of the many great hits that hit us hard with feels every time.

    READ: 6 Reasons Why Day6 World Tour “Gravity” In Manila Is A Must-See Show

    “Congratulations”

    “Congratulations”, the lead single of Day6’s first extended play The Day, is personally one of the best debut songs in K-Pop. It hooks you from the get go with Dowoon’s drum introduction that meets with a soft guitar entrance and Jae’s vocals. The lyrics pierce the heart with its bitter words. The pain relayed by the song was highlighted by the music video that features Choi Woo Shik and Jang Hee Ryung.

    “You Were Beautiful”

    Released in February as part of the Every Day6 project, “You Were Beautiful” continues the story of “Congratulations” with its music video featuring Choi Woo Shik once again. The lyrics reminisce the memories the couple had — the guy appreciating the moments they had, but making it clear from the start that he does not have the intention to get back to what they had. It was a farewell song, of moving forward and finally getting a closure by coming into terms with the break up.

    For the last time

    Your eyes that looked at me

    Your voice that said “take care”

    Everything, everything

    even that, to me

    You were beautiful

    Please tell me I’m not the only one that cries when listening to this song.

    “I Wait”

    “I Wait” is the first single released through the Every Day6 project, along with the sidetrack “Goodbye Winter”. With this song, the band kicked off the monthly project with an impactful start, making the wait of My Days worthwhile as they get treated to an upbeat, rock song that begins with Wonpil’s keyboard and blends the message of the song nicely to the beats and the hints of melancholic melodies.

    “Hi Hello”

    “Hi Hello” is another track from the Every Day6 project. Compared to “I Wait” and “You Were Beautiful”, this song was calmer and sweeter — a song that will be perfect for a summer road trip (or was it because of the music video?). The music video was also lovely and refreshing. While both “I Wait” and “You Were Beautiful” tug the heart with their seemingly melancholic lyrics, “Hi Hello” was delicate and filled with harmony.

    “I Need Somebody”

    The October release for Every Day6 gifted the world with two impressive tracks from the boys — “When You Love Someone” and “I Need Somebody”. Both songs are mellow and slow in the best possible way and choosing one than the other has proven to be a challenging task, but for this list, “I Need Somebody” takes the spot as it conveys a different message from the other songs listed here.

    The words “Why am I alone?” really get me every time I listen to this song. The lyrics of the song, overall, make you stare at nothingness and contemplate life, to be honest.

    “Beautiful Feeling”

    We cannot end the list on a sad note, so what better way to cap it off but with “Beautiful Feeling”. I am a sucker for fan-dedicated songs and I really love the sound of this track — lighthearted and sweet. Day6 first performed the song during their You Made My Day fan meeting in Seoul in September 2018.

    This list only highlighted six songs of Day6 — a challenge, to be honest — but the band has so much more to offer than what this article can contain. Check out the amazing discography of the band and dive into the most beautiful feeling of listening to their songs as we countdown to ten more days before Day6 hits Manila with the sweetest chaos at the SMART Araneta Coliseum on November 23!

  • Artist Spotlight: Getting To Know The Electronic Duo HONNE

    Artist Spotlight: Getting To Know The Electronic Duo HONNE

    Just under twelve months ago HONNE – aka singer Andy and producer James – released their debut single, Warm On A Cold Night, a lusty, nocturnal electro-R&B jam that sent the internet into a steamy stupor. Seemingly out of nowhere, and with limited fuss, two mysterious part-time music teachers from Bow in East London perfectly encapsulated those clammy, slightly drunken summer nights. It also marked out a new act who’s sound had arrived fully formed, their unique blend of warm electronic experimentation, vintage soul and massive pop hooks blending together to form something wonderfully timeless. “People struggle to draw a really direct comparison,” states James of HONNE’s sound. “I was relieved when loads of our friends said they didn’t know what it sounded like.” In fact, rather than straight up musical comparisons, the band rightly prefers to liken their cinematic music to a specific mood or feeling. “We always say it’s the kind of music you might listen to on a late night drive in the summer through the city with the windows down, cool breeze coming in. Bathed in the city lights.” Perfect.

    HONNE’s creation was the perfect example of happenstance, the pair meeting while at University. In fact, they were the first person each of them ran into, with their friendship bonded over a mutual love for Radiohead. “That was around six years ago now,” remembers Andy. “Within three days we were writing music together. We had a mutual love for music and different artists.” Spending nights writing and recording, the immediate and successful musical bond between the pair was in contrast to their musical pasts. “We were both in terrible bands when we were 13 or 14,” laughs James. “But Andy played me some of the songs he’d made at home, songs he was singing on, and I’d never met a male singer who liked the same sort of music as me. We’re both from the west country – Andy’s near Yeovil and I’m from near Salisbury. So in places so small it felt like no one else liked that same music.” Musically influenced initially by everything from the Arctic Monkeys (“lyrically there is a little bit of that story-telling type feel still in there,” says James) to vintage soul (check their cover of Darondo’s Didn’t I) to electronic pioneers like Apparat and Modeselektor to pure pop like Michael Jackson, the pair worked hard to finesse their sound. “It took a little while. It wasn’t until 18 months ago that we stumpled upon it”, says James. “A lot of time was spent on trial and error and learning how to do stuff and working on our production and songwriting skills,” adds Andy. “Even though we love electronic music we still wanted normal songwriting to be in there and to make sure the songs go somewhere and mean something to someone.”

    This meticulous eye for detail in their music also transposed onto their name, HONNE. “It’s a Japanese word that means ‘true feelings’, so ones you only share with your closest companions,” explains Andy. “We happened upon the word and instantly fell in love with its meaning and we felt that it fit with what we’re writing. I’ve been there a few times now and I love it. My girlfriend lived there for about six months so I’ve spent a lot of time there.” This sense of communicating illicit desires and deeply personal moments is so ingrained in HONNE’s ethos that even their label name, Tatemae, is linked to it. “Tatemae is the counter word,” continues Andy. “HONNE is your true feelings shared with someone special, and your tatemae is what you give out in person to everyone else. So the label is the public outlet for our personal songs.”

    While work had been going on behind the scenes for a little while (“We had 15 songs before we showed them to anyone,” says James), the duo wasted no time in getting their songs out there once they’d struck musical gold. The aforementioned Warm On A Cold Night and the stuttering majesty of second single All In The Value were released by Super Recordings (who were also responsible for early releases by Bondax and AlunaGeorge), all before a single gig had been played. “At the time we felt that Warm On A Cold Night epitomised our sound,” James explains of why that was the first song people should hear. “We were talking about a couple of options and we felt like the first song should be how we mean to go on, as in ‘this is HONNE’. It was our statement. As soon as we wrote that one we felt it was a good representation of us.” Following its release the pair played their debut, sold-out, gig at the Seabright Arms last November, then another sold-out one at the Electrowerks the following February, signing to Atlantic Records in-between. The latter meant they could finally leave their jobs as music teachers to focus fully on the band. “Andy was a music technician in a school in London and I was a guitar teacher in the same school and a few others as well,” explains James. “We started doing HONNE full time last Christmas. We enjoyed our jobs, but the aim was always to stop teaching and do music full time, it was all we thought about. I’d even write HONNE songs when kids didn’t turn up for lessons”.

    The first release under their new imprint Tatemae Recordings (via Atlantic) was the Coastal Love EP, a four-track symphony of “baby-making music” (as they put it) and slinky soft soul heralded by the gorgeous drift of the fluttering title track, inspired by Andy’s long distance relationship. “It started out with James – before he started the music he already had the title. He wrote the instrumental and sent it over to me. At the time I was in a long distance relationship, so I wrote about that, changing a few details to fit with James’ concept. Then we made it sound a bit more beach-y.” The sultry stylings of their music – “Everyone’s racy aren’t they? Even if they pretend they’re not,” laughs James at one point – is something they put down to the context it’s created in. “I can tell you why it’s got a night time feel and that’s because we were writing a lot at night,” explains Andy. “We’d get home from school and then write songs in the evening and into the night and then get up and go to school.” That’s not to say it’s all lush atmospherics, tactile beats and soft cooing, mind you. “I feel like there’s three sides to HONNE; the slower, more romantic stuff; the more night time, sexy feel and then the more upbeat and more summery songs,” says James. “We like doing a mixture of all of that.” In fact, their next single, the playful funk of Loves The Jobs You Hate, is musically more upbeat, a sweary rail against the frustrations and limitations of modern life centred around someone they’re still in contact with. “In terms of the lyrical content, some of it’s based on personal experiences but others are based on other people’s experiences too,” explains Andy tactfully. “There’s been a couple of awkward scenarios where something’s happened to a friend and I’ve written a song about it and they’ve gone ‘oh hang on a minute’.”

    Perhaps the key element to HONNE’s music is its warmth; the way it seems to perfectly encapsulate a moment, while still being open and relatable to the listener. Lyrical observers and studio perfectionists, and with a burgeoning live reputation thanks to another recent series of sold out shows (in London, Paris and Berlin in May), the pair have built a hermetically sealed musical world all of their own, just twelve months into their life as a proper band. As work continues on their debut album, it already feels like HONNE have set out their stall as one of British music’s leading (night) lights.

  • Iron Maiden To Headline “PULP Summer Slam XX: Judgement Day”

    Iron Maiden To Headline “PULP Summer Slam XX: Judgement Day”

    PULP Summer Slam, Southeast Asia’s longest running metal festival, celebrates an unbroken two decades of live music performances and is still the only contemporary Philippine-based annual music festival and recognized by the prestigious Festival 250.

    Once again ranking on the worldwide list, PULP Summer Slam has moved up to #225 from its previous rankings of #229 in 2017 and #249 in 2016. Festival 250 is an annual project from Festival Insights, an online B2B publication focused on the international festival industry.

    Promoter Vernon Go says that this will likely be the final PULP Summer Slam and has aptly given it an ominous theme: JUDGEMENT DAY. “I believe having IRON MAIDEN headline our 20th year of PULP Summer Slam is not only historic but certainly poetic for metal fans,” says Go. “It is certainly a beautiful ending to two decades of metal mayhem in the Philippines, especially since it is their only Southeast Asian stop and the only East Asia tour date outside of Japan.”

    “We’re delighted to finally come to the Philippines and present the Legacy of the Beast Tour to all our fans there! We’re immensely proud of this show and we’ve had great reactions from the many fans who came to see us in Europe, North America, Mexico, and South America,” comments Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson. “The production for the PULP Summer Slam is exactly the same as the other shows on this tour so far and is based on our mobile game The Legacy of the Beast which basically takes various incarnations of Eddie into many different Maiden Worlds. This inspired us to put together a stage show to take our fans through different Worlds and experiences set to appropriate songs,” he adds, giving fans a glimpse of what to expect during their headlining performance at the Slam. Hailed by global rave reviews, the tour’s production and setlist is inspired by Maiden’s free to play mobile game of the same name which is available on iOS and Android platforms.

    “We feel we ended up with a very strong and well-balanced set mixing songs we haven’t played in many years like “Flight Of Icarus”, “Sign Of The Cross”, and “The Clansman” with songs we know the fans want to hear like “The Trooper”, “2 Minutes To Midnight”, “The Number Of The Beast”, “Fear Of The Dark”, “Run To The Hills”, “Hallowed Be Thy Name”, and others, reflecting the journey through the different themes of the show,” bassist and founding member Steve Harris adds, speaking about how the band came up with the tour’s monstrous setlist. “We’re excited to bring this show to Manila because our fans there have never seen these songs performed live before so we can’t wait to play them.”

    Fans have been anticipating the ticket prices for this monumental event that also features four other incredible metal bands: Death Angel, BABYMETAL, Dragonforce, and KING 810.

    Happening on May 16, 2020 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, tickets to PULP Summer Slam XX: Judgement Day will go on sale on Novemvber 30, 2019 at 12 noon through SM Tickets and AirAsia Red Tix. Tickets are priced as follows:

    Slip Into The Diamond Life: Getting To Know SEVENTEEN

    S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino officially debuted as members of SEVENTEEN in May 26, 2015 through a live showcase televised on MBC as part of the SEVENTEEN Project: Big Debut Plan, becoming the first male idol group to debut with a live showcase broadcasted on a major television network. The boys then continued to make history as they become the longest-charting K-Pop album in 2015 in the US with their first extended play 17 Carat, fronted by “Adore U”.

    SEVENTEEN continued to rise in popularity with their second EP Boys Be and lead single “Mansae”. The EP became the highest-selling rookie album of 2015 and earned the boy group recognition from the Golden Disc Awards, Seoul Music Awards, and Gaon Chart K-Pop Awards.

    The year 2016 proved to be an “aju nice” year for the boy group as they secured their first music show win with “Pretty U”, the title track of their first studio album Love & Letter. The success of the album led to a repackaged version with “Aju Nice” as the lead single. Following the release of the LP, the boys embarked on their first Asia tour titled 1st Asia 2016 Shining Diamonds.

    Before 2016 ended, SEVENTEEN returned with their third EP called Going SEVENTEEN, led by “Boom Boom”. The following year, 2017, was another witness to the growing popularity of the boy group as they establish themselves as one of the best K-Pop groups in their generation. Aside from the releases of A|1 and Teen,Age albums, the year also saw them hold their first ever world tour, the 2017 SEVENTEEN 1ST WORLD TOUR “DIAMOND EDGE” that also brought them back to Manila — the final stop of the tour.

    In 2018, SEVENTEEN released a special album titled Director’s Cut. In addition, they also made their official debut in Japan with We Make You. The same year, the boy group came out with their fifth EP You Make My Day and embarked on their second world tour the SEVENTEEN CONCERT “IDEAL CUT” 2018 which witnessed the return of the boys to the Philippine concert stage on September 29.

    S.Coups, Jeonghan, Joshua, Jun, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Woozi, The8, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Vernon, and Dino then welcomed 2019 with a new EP named You Made My Dawn which gave them ten music show wins with the lead single “Home”. Most recently, the boys returned with the digital single “Hit” as pre-release song for their third studio album An Ode which featured “Fear” as its title track.

    After almost a year since the end of their second world tour IDEAL CUT, SEVENTEEN kicked off their third world tour SEVENTEEN WORLD TOUR “ODE TO YOU” at the KSPO Dome on August 30 to September 1. The tour will bring the boys to cities in Asia, North America, and South America, landing on the Philippine shore once again — more than a year since IDEAL CUT — on February 8, 2020 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena for another promising show filled with breathtaking performances from the ever-talented boys of SEVENTEEN.

The Everlasting Friends of Super Junior (ELF), the boy group’s fandom name, were evidently excited to see their favorite stars once again as the hashtag #SS8inManila made it into the Philippine trends on Twitter shortly after the announcement.

    Super Show 8 in Manila will mark the fifth solo concert of Super Junior in the Philippines following the successes of Super Show 2 in 2010, Super Show 3 in 2011, Super Show 5 in 2013, and Super Show 7 in 2018. Moreover, it will also serve as the first Super Show of Ryeowook and Kyuhyun in the Philippines after six years as they missed last year’s Super Show 7 due to their military service.

    Expect nothing but a spectacular show from Super Junior in their return to the Philippine concert stage on December 15 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Be prepared to witness the experience and skills of a legendary idol group who remains firm in their position as Hallyu Kings even after 14 years in the industry.

    Sik-K started as an underground rapper with his crew called OTC (Outside the Circle) and Yelows Mob before he officially signed with his current label H1GHR MUSIC. He was also a contestant on Show Me the Money 4.

  • 10 Times Cha Eun Woo Smitten Us With His PAK NA PAK Charms In “Just One Ten Minute” In Manila

    10 Times Cha Eun Woo Smitten Us With His PAK NA PAK Charms In “Just One Ten Minute” In Manila

    Written by Danica Lacson

    With his undeniable good looks and seemingly limitless charms, Cha Eun Woo will surely make you swoon that it no longer surprised us that his first ever solo fan meeting in Manila was a sold-out show — filled with his adoring fans who have waited three years to see him once again on the local concert stage.

    Hundreds of fans flocked the New Frontier Theater on October 26 for the Manila leg of the 2019 CHA EUN WOO FIRST FAN MEETING <JUST ONE TEN MINUTE> which saw him visit five cities in Asia including Hong Kong, Taipei, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur. Manila served as the second to the last stop of his fan meeting tour.

    And because we can’t get enough of the ASTRO member and that memorable night, we relive the pak na pak moments that got us falling head over heels with Cha Eun Woo over and over again.

    #1 Yi Rim, we mean Cha Eun Woo, serenading Arohas in hanbok

    Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung may be over, wrapping its 40-episode run in September after almost two months, but Cha Eun Woo will not let us move on. The ASTRO member brought Yi Rim, his character in the drama, to the Philippines as he channels the prince during his opening number!

    Dressed in hanbok (Korean traditional clothing), Cha Eun Woo serenaded the crowd with “Please Remember”, his official soundtrack for the drama. During the talk portion, the singer-actor revealed that the hanbok he wore is the same hanbok he wore during the filming of the drama.

    #2 Going back in time to pre-debut Cha Eun Woo with the CHApago Challenge

    In case you did not know, a little over a month before debuting as a member of ASTRO in 2016, Cha Eun Woo participated in the well-known entertainment program Star Golden Bell Challenge. Although he used his real name Lee Dong Min, the show’s host still found out his stage name.

    Fast forward to three years after, Lee Dong Min is now known worldwide as ASTRO’s vocalist and the face genius Cha Eun Woo. Still, despite his huge popularity all over the world, the singer-actor used his fan meeting as an opportunity to look back on his Star Golden Bell Challenge stint through the CHApago Challenge where his memory was tested.

    It was truly a nostalgic moment because he also wore the same style of clothing he donned back then — complete with the red cap!

    #3 When he re-enacted a scene from Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung!

    We screamed “cute”! The ASTRO member was too adorable for words when he re-enacted his reaction in the drama after getting a kiss on the cheek from Goo Hae Ryung, played by Shin Se Kyung.

    Asked if he is also as thoughtful as his character Yi Rim in real life to the extent that he prepares meals for others, he said he cooks ramyeon for his members. But given the chance, he wants to cook traditional Korean food for his fans with the message “Mahal ko kayo“. *melts

    #4 Every time he talks about his members

    We felt how much Arohas miss ASTRO and their desire to see the boys stand on the Philippine concert stage again because every time Cha Eun Woo mentions his members, the crowd goes wild! But more so, we felt the close bond and affection of the boys through the stories the singer-actor shared about them.

    According to him, their leader Jin Jin takes care of them well that when eating out, he usually grills the meat for them. Without Jin Jin, Cha Eun Woo takes the initiative to grill the meat because the rest of the members don’t really know how to do it. He went on to say that Jin Jin, MJ, Moonbin, Rocky, and Sanha told him to meet Arohas well during his fan meeting tour. (Excuse us while we cry in the corner for a minute.)

    #5 That swoon-worthy “Love Yourself” performance with a piano

    Cha Eun Woo reminded us of how talented he is when he performed Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself”. Giving his own rendition to the song, the singer-actor impressed with his piano skills and sweet voice. It was a cute and romantic moment, with fans gamely singing along and lightsticks up in the air forming a beautiful ocean.

    #6 Surprising Arohas with “Kathang Isip” song number

    Probably the highlight of the night, Cha Eun Woo made everyone’s jaw-drop when he started singing along to the familiar melody — Ben & Ben’s “Kathang Isip”! It was a beautiful moment that overwhelmed us with so much feels and admiration for him. Arohas were deeply touched by the effort he put into learning the song and singing it beautiful. Come on! What can’t Cha Eun Woo do?

    #7 Melting us once again with his aegyo

    We are weak for shy Cha Eun Woo to be honest. What started as a confident display of basketball skills — he got 16 shots in *applause applause* — came the failed showcase of soccer skills — it was the basket’s fault, right, Eun Woo? Although he failed to fulfill his mission of getting seven balls in by kicking in the time allotted, we are not, in any bit, complaining because we got cute Cha Eun Woo!

    The ASTRO member was all shy to do the aegyo penalty (He was so cute while being shy trying to be cute). But for his Arohas, he did it, not once, not twice, but thrice!

    #8 Making a special dreamcatcher for Arohas to get good sleep

    The treats for his beloved Arohas did not end with the “Be Mine” aegyo because he had more up his sleeves. For his fans to get a good night sleep, he made two dreamcatchers! “I made this so that you will have good dreams in your sleep and not have nightmares,” he said. *gets kilig over and over again

    Two lucky fans took home the dreamcatchers and we are 100 percent sure they will have the best sleeps!

    #9 Bringing more colors to the night with a performance of “Rainbow Falling”

    On his final song number that night, Cha Eun Woo took us back to the drama got us believing that a handsome guy will love us regardless of our physical appearance. The singer- actor, who received much love for his character as Do Kyung Seok in the drama My ID is Gangnam Beauty, performed “Rainbow Falling”, his original soundtrack for the JTBC drama.

    #10 Promising to come back

    Although we officially said our farewell to Cha Eun Woo that night, we are holding on to his promise that he will come back! And we are keeping our fingers crossed that the next time he comes to the Philippines, he will be with Jin Jin, MJ, Moonbin, Rocky, and Sanha because we surely need an ASTRO solo concert soon!

    We are capping off this list with that hopeful wish while also smiling from ear-to-ear as we remember all those kilig moments from the 2019 CHA EUN WOO FIRST FAN MEETING <JUST ONE TEN MINUTE> at the New Frontier Theater last October 26.

    Philippine Concerts extends its gratitude to Wilbros Live for having us. And although the year is approaching its final two months, Wilbros Live has another kilig-filled show for Korean drama fans in November!

    South Korean actor-model Jang Ki Yong, who captivated viewers with his charms in Go Back Couple, Come and Hug Me, Kill It, and Search WWW, is coming to the Philippines for his first ever solo fan meeting. Wilbros Live is bringing 2019 JANG KI YONG 1ST FAN MEETING IN MANILA <FILMOGRAPHY> at the Samsung Hall, SM Aura on November 17. Tickets to the show are now on sale via SM Tickets.

    And in case you are thinking twice about attending the one-night only concert and making your way to TicketNet on October 27 to join your fellow My Days in securing that slot, Philippine Concerts is here to help you make up your mind and end your decisiveness as we list down six reasons why you must never let the opportunity to see Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon live pass.

    #1 Jaw-Dropping Live Performances And Overflowing Energy From The Boys

    Believe us when we say that Day6’s live performances were intense, overflowing with so much energy and passion that you will find yourselves getting pulled deeper and deeper into their charms. The boys’ love for the stage and their enjoyment in performing radiate through their performances, passion they exhibited during their first solo concert last year at the New Frontier Theater.

    Although filmed performances and fancams do exist (which we are thankful for, to be honest), there is only so much you can see through your screens or those fancams you watch over and over again. Seeing Day6 live and witnessing first-hand their live stages will wow you even more. And those songs you have been wishing to see them perform? You can enjoy them fully during a concert.

    #2 Getting Lost In The Feels With The Roller Coaster Of Emotions Their Discography Can Give

    Since their debut in 2015 with their first extended play The Day led by “Congratulations”, Day6 has impressed with their wide-ranging discography that includes “Letting Go”, “I Wait”, “You Were Beautiful”, “I Loved You”, “Shoot Me”, “Beautiful Feeling”, “Time Of Our Life”, and their most recent single “Sweet Chaos”.

    Their songs have the ability to elicit emotions and hit its listeners right in the feels with their lyrics that talked about various topics — from falling in love, going through a heartbreak, moving on, growing up, embracing oneself, and so much more.

    #3 Head-Banging To New Sooooongs!

    Earlier this week, Day6 added a new album on My Days’ playlist with the release of their third regular album The Book Of Us: Entropy last October 22, introducing 11 songs namely “Deep In Love”, the title track “Sweet Chaos”, “Emergency”, “Rescue Me”, “365247”, “About Now”, “Ouch”, “Not Fine”, “Stop Talking”, “Not Mine”, and “Like A Flowing Wind”.

    It’s still unsure if the band will include these songs in the set list their remaining concerts for DAY6 WORLD TOUR <GRAVITY> (including the Manila stop). Still, as the concert tour is done in support of their fifth extended play The Book of Us: Gravity, new songs will definitely be added to the set list of their last year’s concert because it will now include “For Me”, “Time Of Our Life”, “How To Love”, “Wanna Go Back”, “Cover”, and “Best Part”.

    #4 See Day6 Go All Out As They Take Over A Bigger Stage

    For an energetic and passionate band such as Day6, a small stage is never enough to contain all their energy and dedication to the stage and their performances. That’s why, this year, expect Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon to go all out and give their best stages as they stand on a bigger stage — the SMART Araneta Coliseum — and be cheered on by a greater number of My Days.

    #5 Enjoying The Moments With Your Fellow My Days

    Aside from seeing your favorite artists, concerts also give fans the opportunity to bond and let out all their feels with people who share the same passion and love. November 23 will be the day you get to meet your fellow My Days from all over the Philippines (and the world), cheering loud and proud and painting the venue with your fandom colors.

    Join your fellow fans in sending your big love to Day6 through fan projects and fan chants. We guarantee you. It will be a moment you won’t forget because these people know what you feel. And be warned, you might get drown in so much feels, so bringing tissues won’t hurt for pre-caution *winks

    #6 It’s Day6 — The Band That Is Worth All The Wait

    We have listed five reasons so far, but really, it all comes down to this one reason — Day6. Jae, Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon missed you and are excited to once again meet you once again with new songs, superb performances, and words they wanted to relay to all of you.

    day6

    So, My Day, are you ready to be part of DAY6 WORLD TOUR <GRAVITY> in Manila on November 23 at the SMART Araneta Coliseum? Tickets to the show will go on sale on October 27 via TicketNet outlets nationwide and through online at www.ticketnet.com.ph.

Most recently, WINNER returned with their highly-anticipated comeback with their third extended play Cross which features “So So” as its lead single.

    Known for their high quality music and versatility as musicians, the boy group has been recognized by various award-giving bodies in South Korea and overseas. In 2014 and 2015, fresh from their debut, the boys took home the New Artist of the Year at the Gaon Chart Music Awards, Golden Disc Awards, Melon Music Awards, and Mnet Asia Music Awards. Last year, the Golden Disc Awards also awarded them the Digital Bonsang for “Really Really”.

    It was also in 2018 when Yoon, Jinu, Hoony, and Mino staged their first ever solo concert in the Philippines through their Everywhere Tour at the SM Mall of Asia Arena last November 10, 2018. Not only did they greet their Philippine Inner Circles with the various astounding performances they prepares, they also made tons of beautiful memories to cherish forever as they endowed fans with hilarious skits, touching messages, a lot of “Salamat” and “Mahal kita“, and of course, a promise to come back to the “City of Love, City of Music, and City of Pleasure” as Mino said.
