Part of the Priest!Joe Arc:

The First Time (NSFW) - Joe and you have your first time together.

Careless (NSFW) - Joe finds your panties in the backseat.

Innocent (NSFW) - Joe and you have a moment in the confession booth.

Dirty Picture (NSFW) - Joe fulfils one of your fantasties.

Father Jose always spends Christmas alone; it’s become routine for him. Every year parishioners invite him to celebrate the event at their homes and every year he feigns other plans. It’s the one day of the year he has to himself. There’s no obligations, no pressures, just him with a thirty year old bottle of whiskey and the dulcet tones of Etta James singing on the record player in the background.

When he hears the knock at the door, he doesn’t expect to see you standing there in the snow. You’re supposed to be spending Christmas with your fiancé’s family, there’s a whole host of them, all descending on your home for the holidays.

“Hi.” He says, a smile playing across his lips because truthfully seeing you today is the best gift that anybody could give him. “I missed you at midnight mass last night.”

“In-laws.” You say by way of explanation as you step inside, stamping your boots on the welcome mat in order to remove the snow. You take off your coat and hang it on the peg by the door. He takes your hand, his fingers entwining with yours before he leads you into the lounge.

It’s beautiful in here, the tree is a glow with a thousand tiny fairy lights, each one twinkling as the darkness descends outside. There’s a fire in the hearth, flames creeping up the chimney, the heat radiates through the room, warming your skin. Joe’s arm loops around your waist, drawing you to him. His dark eyes meet yours, his thumb chasing over the line of your jaw.

“How long do I have you for?” He asks, his nose trailing over yours until your lips are almost touching.

“A couple of hours.” You tell him, your palms trailing over his chest. Your fingertips seek out the small, gold crucifix that hangs from a chain around his throat, your thumb running over it. “He thinks I’m at the soup kitchen.”

Joe tuts, his grip on your hips tightening just a little. He’s hard already, you can feel it through the denim of his jeans.

“Such a bad girl. I think you need to be punished.” He whispers, his lips brushing over yours. “Because it’s Christmas you get to choose, my hand or the paddle?”

He fucks you in front of the fire, his handprints marking up that pretty peach of yours as he takes you from behind. He’s used your scarf to bind your hands behind your back. The only thing you can do is receive the pleasure he bestows upon you. He takes it slow, his cock filling you, raking over that deviant little spot before he pulls out and starts all over again. It’s a rush, the filth and romanticism of the act intermingling in the glow from the Christmas tree. His palm comes to rest on the back of your neck, forcing your head down to the rug, your cheek rubbing across the fabric.

You’ve already come on his cock once, that sweet pussy squeezing his dick so hard that he almost comes with you. It’s a Christmas miracle that he doesn’t. He wants to hold out as long as possible, because he only gets you for a fraction of time and he wants you remember this. He wants him fucking you on this rug to be the thing you think about whenever someone even breathes the word Christmas.

Most of all, he wants you to remember him, because he knows this thing between you can’t last forever. He only wishes that it could, because the problem is Father Jose Velasco has fallen in love with you and even God can’t save him from that.

[thisbluespirit]

Fic writer interview

I was tagged by @captain-aralias to do this, so here I am:

Name: thisbluespirit.  I previously went by lost_spook and also a very long time ago as vvj5.  (You don’t get my real name, because unfortunately, it’s comparatively uncommon & too easy to find online).

Fandoms: I’m very multi-fannish.  I like the challenge of writing for different fandoms and getting the tone right and so on, and I also love exchanges, which often leads to writing unexpected gifts and treats when somebody’s prompt bites me hard.  As a result, I have quite a ridiculous number of fandoms, but my main ones are probably Doctor Who, Sapphire & Steel, Blake’s 7, Once Upon A Time, Spooks, The Librarians, Adam Adamant Lives! and a lot of very old British TV I love that few others do, like The Shadow of the Tower, the 1968 Dracula, Enemy at the Door, The Power Game and Public Eye and so on.  Recently I fell into the Star Wars Prequels fandom, which was a bit scary but very nice (it’s generally a friendly & very pretty corner of the GFFA) and I definitely want to write some more things for it, and not just Obidala.

Where you post: My fic?  To AO3, and before that (when I was much more mono-fannish) the Doctor Who archive, A Teaspoon and an Open Mind (which we refer to as “Teaspoon” - something that confuses non-DW people).  I once posted three non-DW works to ff.net, which I found so difficult and awkward, I never tried it again, especially not after it later on ate my scene breaks.  (ff.net’s war against scene breaks is apparently eternal and baffling).  Although I used LJ a lot (it was my primary fannish platform for years, and Dreamwidth still is), I was on it for the social and community aspect and find it strange to think of archiving fic there. I only posted it there if it was for a particular comm or meme or challenge being run there. 

Most popular one-shot: By kudos, this is my Yuletide treat where Miss Marple is a genius loci, and by hits, this is my flash ficlet where Miss Marple dusts Dracula.  I write hardly any Miss Marple, but when I die, she’ll be on my fannish tombstone and, at the end of the day, that’s probably a nice way to be remembered!

Most popular multi-chapter: This is impossible to say.  Since I’ve been so ill (for ten years now, much as I hate to say that aloud), I’ve written about 3 multi-chapter works, and only one of them was posted in progress, the others were posted complete.  The rest are very old and are either still only on Teaspoon, or I posted them to AO3 but backdated them, so these just aren’t comparable things.  None of them, being rare fandoms or in OW or backdated Doctor Who works, are popular in any case. The one with the most kudos is a Yuletide fic, The Poison Tree, for Dracula (1968).

Fic you were nervous to post: Lots of them!  The most nerve-wracking are gifts for exchanges, especially if they were serious or shippy, where I have to wait to find out if the recip liked them.  If I’ve written something fun and humorous I tend to know instinctively if it works or not, but when it’s serious, I just feel... terribly stupid and exposed until that comment from the recip, or someone at least, comes at last!

I think, particularly, some of the historical ones and the two Shakespeare ones, understandably, because it would be so easy to go out on a limb and just make a fool of yourself falling off: i love the rose both red and white, (sotT/15th C) his wonders to perform (even though it wasn’t for an exchange- it was a bit outside my usual and I’m still not sure if it really worked) (15th C RPF); movements of the mind (Twelfth Night) and Vigil (Measure For Measure).  The last two proved quite popular-for-Yuletide & I had some of my nicest comments ever on both, though, so obviously I did something right! \o/

How do you choose your titles? Well, either something comes, or I find a poem or song or proverbs quote or I just go dammit and come up with something simple. Remix is easier because you play on the original fic’s title, the fic and your fic, and that always seems to work.

I would worry about this, but I posted a whole bunch of meme fic that I just called “AU Meme: [Character’s Name]” and the summary for each one is “10 AU scenarios for [character] in a Dreamwidth meme” and people read those more than plenty of the others, which does kind of put the whole thing into slightly ironic perspective.

Do you outline? If it’s a long fic, to a certain extent, but only a few notes, or jotting down the ending and so on.  With shorter pieces (which most of mine are), less so, but usually the same things - this scene, or the ending or this line, or a research note or two where needed.

Complete: Number of completed works?  596 on AO3 (599 on my dash, but three are fanvids), but there are more at Teaspoon that I’ve never transferred over.

Do you take prompts?  I write nothing else these days, one way or another, most of the time - bingo squares, random generators, prompt tables, fests, exchanges, writing memes.  I just don’t take them generally, because I am still working on my last writing meme... from April (among other things).  But, yes.  I love prompts.

In progress: 0.  Well, no, actually, I tell a lie, there is one abandoned WIP on Teaspoon, which I started just before I became so ill, a Fifth Doctor crossover with the William Monk & Hester crime series.  Since it is abandoned, though, I don’t think it counts.

Coming soon: My Yule-fic.  Hopefully the last two from the AU Meme before the year is out, maybe a long origfic for Rainbowfic/genprompt_bingo I’ve been working on for ages, which is still in the editing stage, and I’ve a Good Omens/Doctor Who crossover in my notebook that I want to type up soon.  (I promised astrogirl on Dreamwidth I would.)

Tagging: whoever would like to do this and hasn’t been tagged yet - @allegoriesinmediasres @pers-books @human-nxture @luthienebonyx @scarletmanuka @maryellencarter & whoever wants to, feel tagged!  And if you’ve been tagged and you don’t want to, that’s okay, you’re excused.

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore

Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with  absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen.

BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! YK: [chagrined, and dripping with sarcasm] THANK YOU SYDNEY! [Back to normal]…Yeah, but sadly we're already at the last section of the concert [tech comes onstage], I was too excited, I was too hyped, so I kept stepping on the line? So, I actually plugged out the bass cord [laughing]. J: Honestly though, I think that today is just that kind of environment, like.. you know what I'm sayin'? Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk. So uh, we're gonna try to make that happen not in this next part now but…this next part…wait backtrack, that didn't happen just now…this next part is the last part…we…[laughing] I MESSED IT UP! [Quickly] Hey Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Kiki…[grins] J: …Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Yeah uhh…this part is uh, final section. Um, he told, told you guys um head shaking…but uh this part is not… head shaking yet [trans]? Show me the voice! Show me your beautiful voice, alright? YK: Are you guys going to show us your voice? Are you guys going to show us your beautiful voice? Uh…can I hear you guys sing? ['Man in a Movie' singing time with YK and MYDAY] YK: YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! I really wanted to hear that, because actually, that was the last song before we came on right? And you guys were singing along to it? [points off to stage right] And we were right behind there? And we heard you. So you're gonna sing us the next song we're going to play. Alright, sing it first, let's go. SONG: 'Congratulations' SONG: '예뻤어You Were Beautiful' SONG: 'I Loved You' SONG: '좋아합니다I Like You' [SPECIAL VCR] SONG: '놓아 놓아 놓아Letting Go' (Rebooted version) [Ending ments] J: Wow [laughing]. Uh, this is so sad…come with me [laughing more]. Ok, uh, so guys, today for me was a phenomenal day. First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans]. Honestly, distance-wise it's pretty far; this time and memories, even though these will become memories, we think about it in the past, we will be together [trans]. So please don't forget this moment and I promise we'll come back [trans]. Thank you so much for today [trans]. See you guys, thank you! DW: Ha. He kind of said everything I wanted to say, yeah [trans]. Uh, ok? It was such a good memory for us today, and I hope this is a good memory for you guys too [trans]. We will work so hard and come back to give you better energy [trans]. Wow, thank you! YK: How was DAY6 concert? How was MYDAYs? 'Cause I thought you guys were amazing. There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you. WP: So our first world tour, and we are so lucky that our first stop was here in Australia [trans]. I was expecting it, but I didn't know I would get this much love, energy…I'll never forget this moment, and I'll promise to come back [trans]. For us DAY6, thank you so much for making these precious moments [trans]. I love you too. Thank you for, appreciate it, yeah. I want to take picture. [DAY6 and MYDAY photo time] J: So we're really at the final part of the concert. But uh, you guys know how crazy it gets right, at the end of our shows? Do you not know how crazy it gets at the end of DAY6 shows? OH, just real quick, let's be, let's stay safe…[ suddenly, throwing his head and arms back dramatically] PREACH, YES JAE PREACH!! [Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you!

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore

Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with  absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen.

So, for this next little corner we're gonna do, we're gonna have to get a little bit hype, but, uh second floor please be careful?

So uh… MYDAY: [suddenly cheering loudly] J:…was it something I said? I never knew safety was such a great word [laughing]. Um, alright guys so we're gonna enjoy this, are y'all ready for the next section?! Is DAY6 ready for the next section? Let's get it on…[pauses as he realises he said something potentially racy, but laughs it off]. YK: [In the meantime, bursts into operatic vocals] READYYYYYY! ARE YOUUUU READYYYY! LET'S GOOOOOOO!

SEE Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY SAT DOWN, you guys can sit down if you want! It was a miscalculation at first, I was like, oh let's all party together, and then during the song you guys were like, what am I doing here?

BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! YK: [chagrined, and dripping with sarcasm] THANK YOU SYDNEY! [Back to normal]…Yeah, but sadly we're already at the last section of the concert [tech comes onstage], I was too excited, I was too hyped, so I kept stepping on the line? So, I actually plugged out the bass cord [laughing]. J: Honestly though, I think that today is just that kind of environment, like.. you know what I'm sayin'? Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk. So uh, we're gonna try to make that happen not in this next part now but…this next part…wait backtrack, that didn't happen just now…this next part is the last part…we…[laughing] I MESSED IT UP! [Quickly] Hey Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Kiki…[grins] J: …Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Yeah uhh…this part is uh, final section. Um, he told, told you guys um head shaking…but uh this part is not… head shaking yet [trans]? Show me the voice! Show me your beautiful voice, alright? YK: Are you guys going to show us your voice? Are you guys going to show us your beautiful voice? Uh…can I hear you guys sing? ['Man in a Movie' singing time with YK and MYDAY] YK: YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! I really wanted to hear that, because actually, that was the last song before we came on right? And you guys were singing along to it? [points off to stage right] And we were right behind there? And we heard you. So you're gonna sing us the next song we're going to play. Alright, sing it first, let's go. SONG: 'Congratulations' SONG: '예뻤어You Were Beautiful' SONG: 'I Loved You' SONG: '좋아합니다I Like You' [SPECIAL VCR] SONG: '놓아 놓아 놓아Letting Go' (Rebooted version) [Ending ments] J: Wow [laughing]. Uh, this is so sad…come with me [laughing more]. Ok, uh, so guys, today for me was a phenomenal day. First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans]. Honestly, distance-wise it's pretty far; this time and memories, even though these will become memories, we think about it in the past, we will be together [trans]. So please don't forget this moment and I promise we'll come back [trans]. Thank you so much for today [trans]. See you guys, thank you! DW: Ha. He kind of said everything I wanted to say, yeah [trans]. Uh, ok? It was such a good memory for us today, and I hope this is a good memory for you guys too [trans]. We will work so hard and come back to give you better energy [trans]. Wow, thank you! YK: How was DAY6 concert? How was MYDAYs? 'Cause I thought you guys were amazing.

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore

Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year.

So, I actually plugged out the bass cord [laughing]. J: Honestly though, I think that today is just that kind of environment, like.. you know what I'm sayin'? Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk. So uh, we're gonna try to make that happen not in this next part now but…this next part…wait backtrack, that didn't happen just now…this next part is the last part…we…[laughing] I MESSED IT UP!

Are you guys going to show us your beautiful voice? Uh…can I hear you guys sing? ['Man in a Movie' singing time with YK and MYDAY] YK: YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! I really wanted to hear that, because actually, that was the last song before we came on right? And you guys were singing along to it? [points off to stage right] And we were right behind there? And we heard you. So you're gonna sing us the next song we're going to play. Alright, sing it first, let's go. SONG: 'Congratulations' SONG: '예뻤어You Were Beautiful' SONG: 'I Loved You' SONG: '좋아합니다I Like You' [SPECIAL VCR] SONG: '놓아 놓아 놓아Letting Go' (Rebooted version) [Ending ments] J: Wow [laughing]. Uh, this is so sad…come with me [laughing more]. Ok, uh, so guys, today for me was a phenomenal day. First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans]. Honestly, distance-wise it's pretty far; this time and memories, even though these will become memories, we think about it in the past, we will be together [trans]. So please don't forget this moment and I promise we'll come back [trans]. Thank you so much for today [trans]. See you guys, thank you! DW: Ha. He kind of said everything I wanted to say, yeah [trans]. Uh, ok? It was such a good memory for us today, and I hope this is a good memory for you guys too [trans]. We will work so hard and come back to give you better energy [trans]. Wow, thank you! YK: How was DAY6 concert? How was MYDAYs? 'Cause I thought you guys were amazing. There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you. WP: So our first world tour, and we are so lucky that our first stop was here in Australia [trans]. I was expecting it, but I didn't know I would get this much love, energy…I'll never forget this moment, and I'll promise to come back [trans]. For us DAY6, thank you so much for making these precious moments [trans]. I love you too. Thank you for, appreciate it, yeah. I want to take picture. [DAY6 and MYDAY photo time] J: So we're really at the final part of the concert. But uh, you guys know how crazy it gets right, at the end of our shows? Do you not know how crazy it gets at the end of DAY6 shows? OH, just real quick, let's be, let's stay safe…[ suddenly, throwing his head and arms back dramatically] PREACH, YES JAE PREACH!! [Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you! [blows kiss] J: [the very last to leave, waving fondly at their MYDAY with both hands until he disappears] [Concert end] If you made it all the way to the end, thank you for reading!

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore

Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with  absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen.

And we heard you. So you're gonna sing us the next song we're going to play. Alright, sing it first, let's go. SONG: 'Congratulations' SONG: '예뻤어You Were Beautiful' SONG: 'I Loved You' SONG: '좋아합니다I Like You' [SPECIAL VCR] SONG: '놓아 놓아 놓아Letting Go' (Rebooted version) [Ending ments] J: Wow [laughing]. Uh, this is so sad…come with me [laughing more]. Ok, uh, so guys, today for me was a phenomenal day. First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans]. Honestly, distance-wise it's pretty far; this time and memories, even though these will become memories, we think about it in the past, we will be together [trans]. So please don't forget this moment and I promise we'll come back [trans]. Thank you so much for today [trans]. See you guys, thank you! DW: Ha. He kind of said everything I wanted to say, yeah [trans]. Uh, ok? It was such a good memory for us today, and I hope this is a good memory for you guys too [trans]. We will work so hard and come back to give you better energy [trans]. Wow, thank you! YK: How was DAY6 concert? How was MYDAYs? 'Cause I thought you guys were amazing. There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you. WP: So our first world tour, and we are so lucky that our first stop was here in Australia [trans]. I was expecting it, but I didn't know I would get this much love, energy…I'll never forget this moment, and I'll promise to come back [trans]. For us DAY6, thank you so much for making these precious moments [trans]. I love you too. Thank you for, appreciate it, yeah. I want to take picture. [DAY6 and MYDAY photo time] J: So we're really at the final part of the concert. But uh, you guys know how crazy it gets right, at the end of our shows? Do you not know how crazy it gets at the end of DAY6 shows? OH, just real quick, let's be, let's stay safe…[ suddenly, throwing his head and arms back dramatically] PREACH, YES JAE PREACH!! [Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you!

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore

Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with  absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen.

That's alright, I'll just go then [pretends to walk offstage, laughing]. WE NEED THE SECOND FLOOR TO STAND UP can you guys stand up real quick? So, for this next little corner we're gonna do, we're gonna have to get a little bit hype, but, uh second floor please be careful?

So uh… MYDAY: [suddenly cheering loudly] J:…was it something I said? I never knew safety was such a great word [laughing]. Um, alright guys so we're gonna enjoy this, are y'all ready for the next section?! Is DAY6 ready for the next section? Let's get it on…[pauses as he realises he said something potentially racy, but laughs it off]. YK: [In the meantime, bursts into operatic vocals] READYYYYYY! ARE YOUUUU READYYYY! LET'S GOOOOOOO!

SEE Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY SAT DOWN, you guys can sit down if you want! It was a miscalculation at first, I was like, oh let's all party together, and then during the song you guys were like, what am I doing here?

So, I actually plugged out the bass cord [laughing]. J: Honestly though, I think that today is just that kind of environment, like.. you know what I'm sayin'? Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk.

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore

Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year.

Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen.

I also want to stay in Sydney for more than two days [trans]. Yeah, I like it [trans]. Sungjin? Uh, Sungjin…Sungjin, uh what's that? [mumbling happily at the crowd] J: [to YK] Can you translate?

MYDAY: [settling down again] YK: Guys, ah no, when we're on stage, when we're not wearing uh, our in-ear? Earphones? J: Uh huh YK: Uh, it's actually really hard to understand what anyone's saying. It's really…boomy? [laughs in Jae's direction]. [To Wonpil] Do you have anything more to say? WP: Yes, I already said but I'll do a bit more [trans]. I'll say more later [laughing]. YK: What do you mean? [Repeats the question in Korean, then English again] What do you mean? WP: What do you mean? YK: No, but this is the end [trans]? WP: No! Really?

[Back to normal]…Yeah, but sadly we're already at the last section of the concert [tech comes onstage], I was too excited, I was too hyped, so I kept stepping on the line? So, I actually plugged out the bass cord [laughing]. J: Honestly though, I think that today is just that kind of environment, like.. you know what I'm sayin'? Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk. So uh, we're gonna try to make that happen not in this next part now but…this next part…wait backtrack, that didn't happen just now…this next part is the last part…we…[laughing] I MESSED IT UP! [Quickly] Hey Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Kiki…[grins] J: …Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Yeah uhh…this part is uh, final section.

Are you guys going to show us your beautiful voice? Uh…can I hear you guys sing? ['Man in a Movie' singing time with YK and MYDAY] YK: YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! I really wanted to hear that, because actually, that was the last song before we came on right? And you guys were singing along to it? [points off to stage right] And we were right behind there? And we heard you. So you're gonna sing us the next song we're going to play. Alright, sing it first, let's go. SONG: 'Congratulations' SONG: '예뻤어You Were Beautiful' SONG: 'I Loved You' SONG: '좋아합니다I Like You' [SPECIAL VCR] SONG: '놓아 놓아 놓아Letting Go' (Rebooted version) [Ending ments] J: Wow [laughing]. Uh, this is so sad…come with me [laughing more]. Ok, uh, so guys, today for me was a phenomenal day. First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans]. Honestly, distance-wise it's pretty far; this time and memories, even though these will become memories, we think about it in the past, we will be together [trans]. So please don't forget this moment and I promise we'll come back [trans]. Thank you so much for today [trans]. See you guys, thank you! DW: Ha. He kind of said everything I wanted to say, yeah [trans]. Uh, ok? It was such a good memory for us today, and I hope this is a good memory for you guys too [trans]. We will work so hard and come back to give you better energy [trans]. Wow, thank you! YK: How was DAY6 concert? How was MYDAYs? 'Cause I thought you guys were amazing. There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you. WP: So our first world tour, and we are so lucky that our first stop was here in Australia [trans]. I was expecting it, but I didn't know I would get this much love, energy…I'll never forget this moment, and I'll promise to come back [trans]. For us DAY6, thank you so much for making these precious moments [trans]. I love you too. Thank you for, appreciate it, yeah. I want to take picture. [DAY6 and MYDAY photo time] J: So we're really at the final part of the concert. But uh, you guys know how crazy it gets right, at the end of our shows? Do you not know how crazy it gets at the end of DAY6 shows? OH, just real quick, let's be, let's stay safe…[ suddenly, throwing his head and arms back dramatically] PREACH, YES JAE PREACH!! [Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you! [blows kiss] J: [the very last to leave, waving fondly at their MYDAY with both hands until he disappears] [Concert end] If you made it all the way to the end, thank you for reading!

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore

Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with  absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen.

So, I actually plugged out the bass cord [laughing]. J: Honestly though, I think that today is just that kind of environment, like.. you know what I'm sayin'? Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk.

I really wanted to hear that, because actually, that was the last song before we came on right? And you guys were singing along to it? [points off to stage right] And we were right behind there? And we heard you. So you're gonna sing us the next song we're going to play. Alright, sing it first, let's go. SONG: 'Congratulations' SONG: '예뻤어You Were Beautiful' SONG: 'I Loved You' SONG: '좋아합니다I Like You' [SPECIAL VCR] SONG: '놓아 놓아 놓아Letting Go' (Rebooted version) [Ending ments] J: Wow [laughing]. Uh, this is so sad…come with me [laughing more]. Ok, uh, so guys, today for me was a phenomenal day. First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans]. Honestly, distance-wise it's pretty far; this time and memories, even though these will become memories, we think about it in the past, we will be together [trans]. So please don't forget this moment and I promise we'll come back [trans]. Thank you so much for today [trans]. See you guys, thank you! DW: Ha. He kind of said everything I wanted to say, yeah [trans]. Uh, ok? It was such a good memory for us today, and I hope this is a good memory for you guys too [trans]. We will work so hard and come back to give you better energy [trans]. Wow, thank you! YK: How was DAY6 concert? How was MYDAYs? 'Cause I thought you guys were amazing. There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you. WP: So our first world tour, and we are so lucky that our first stop was here in Australia [trans]. I was expecting it, but I didn't know I would get this much love, energy…I'll never forget this moment, and I'll promise to come back [trans]. For us DAY6, thank you so much for making these precious moments [trans]. I love you too. Thank you for, appreciate it, yeah. I want to take picture.

Do you not know how crazy it gets at the end of DAY6 shows? OH, just real quick, let's be, let's stay safe…[ suddenly, throwing his head and arms back dramatically] PREACH, YES JAE PREACH!! [Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you!

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore

Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with  absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen.

Um, alright guys so we're gonna enjoy this, are y'all ready for the next section?! Is DAY6 ready for the next section?

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore

Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with  absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen.

SEE Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY SAT DOWN, you guys can sit down if you want! It was a miscalculation at first, I was like, oh let's all party together, and then during the song you guys were like, what am I doing here?

[Back to normal]…Yeah, but sadly we're already at the last section of the concert [tech comes onstage], I was too excited, I was too hyped, so I kept stepping on the line? So, I actually plugged out the bass cord [laughing]. J: Honestly though, I think that today is just that kind of environment, like.. you know what I'm sayin'? Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk. So uh, we're gonna try to make that happen not in this next part now but…this next part…wait backtrack, that didn't happen just now…this next part is the last part…we…[laughing] I MESSED IT UP! [Quickly] Hey Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Kiki…[grins] J: …Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Yeah uhh…this part is uh, final section. Um, he told, told you guys um head shaking…but uh this part is not… head shaking yet [trans]? Show me the voice! Show me your beautiful voice, alright? YK: Are you guys going to show us your voice? Are you guys going to show us your beautiful voice? Uh…can I hear you guys sing? ['Man in a Movie' singing time with YK and MYDAY] YK: YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! I really wanted to hear that, because actually, that was the last song before we came on right? And you guys were singing along to it? [points off to stage right] And we were right behind there? And we heard you. So you're gonna sing us the next song we're going to play. Alright, sing it first, let's go. SONG: 'Congratulations' SONG: '예뻤어You Were Beautiful' SONG: 'I Loved You' SONG: '좋아합니다I Like You' [SPECIAL VCR] SONG: '놓아 놓아 놓아Letting Go' (Rebooted version) [Ending ments] J: Wow [laughing]. Uh, this is so sad…come with me [laughing more]. Ok, uh, so guys, today for me was a phenomenal day. First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans]. Honestly, distance-wise it's pretty far; this time and memories, even though these will become memories, we think about it in the past, we will be together [trans]. So please don't forget this moment and I promise we'll come back [trans]. Thank you so much for today [trans]. See you guys, thank you! DW: Ha. He kind of said everything I wanted to say, yeah [trans]. Uh, ok? It was such a good memory for us today, and I hope this is a good memory for you guys too [trans]. We will work so hard and come back to give you better energy [trans]. Wow, thank you! YK: How was DAY6 concert? How was MYDAYs? 'Cause I thought you guys were amazing. There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you. WP: So our first world tour, and we are so lucky that our first stop was here in Australia [trans]. I was expecting it, but I didn't know I would get this much love, energy…I'll never forget this moment, and I'll promise to come back [trans]. For us DAY6, thank you so much for making these precious moments [trans]. I love you too. Thank you for, appreciate it, yeah. I want to take picture. [DAY6 and MYDAY photo time] J: So we're really at the final part of the concert. But uh, you guys know how crazy it gets right, at the end of our shows? Do you not know how crazy it gets at the end of DAY6 shows? OH, just real quick, let's be, let's stay safe…[ suddenly, throwing his head and arms back dramatically] PREACH, YES JAE PREACH!! [Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you! [blows kiss] J: [the very last to leave, waving fondly at their MYDAY with both hands until he disappears] [Concert end] If you made it all the way to the end, thank you for reading!

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore

Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with  absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals?

DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates.

Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk.

First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans].

There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you. WP: So our first world tour, and we are so lucky that our first stop was here in Australia [trans].

[Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans].

MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you!

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore

Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with  absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen.

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore

Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year. Australia, as the first international leg of the tour, was graced with not one but two stops on the east coast, with the band playing at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on August 10, before heading to Sydney two days later on August 12 for their show at the Enmore. A note from the writer: Coming from a background where I was constantly slipping away to attend battle of the bands as a teenager, spending hours crushed in a pit or the basement of a dive bar watching hardcore, punk and metal artists swinging from the ceiling or climbing perilous scaffolding to get onto the venue roof, stepping into a DAY6 concert packed with a primarily young, female demographic, still feels a little out of the ordinary for me. I've attended dozens of concerts over the years, but based on what I witnessed on Sunday night, I can say with  absolute confidence that DAY6 are in a league entirely of their own making; how many multilingual rock bands can you list with four powerful lead vocalists, all with their own distinct and identifiable style (who can also rap with effortless grit), play their own instruments and write their own music, with a fifth member, a literal drum incarnate, who keeps their very hearts beating with a shy grin from the back of the stage? Let me save you some time; I googled it quickly out of curiosity (admittedly with slightly less detail), and the list is non-existent. The 'Youth' world tour will be another long-term project for the band, on the back of their 2017 'Every DAY6' series, and we're sure they'll continue to slay every crowd with their bright, yet soulful, brand of Korean rock in each country, leaving behind a long trail of broken hearts (did I happen to mention that they all hit those required South Korean industry visuals? Because they definitely do). DAY6 will be returning to South Korea to play their next gig in Busan on August 18, before hitting the figurative road to conquer Taipei, Bangkok, Manila, Canada, USA and Europe over the next year; if you haven't yet had the privilege of seeing this band live, do not miss out on a ticket to one of these dates. Full transcript and setlist: DAY6 at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney A cliche, but a universal truth nonetheless, is the inherent ability of music to transcend language barriers. Despite this, one of the most impressive features of a K-Pop concert (or in this case, full-blown Korean rock concert), is the members' efforts to learn as much of that country's language as humanly possible, in order to forge a warm and genuine connection with the audience for the precious few hours they'll spend together. Although DAY6 have a slight advantage with wildly confident, English-speaking members Jae and Young K at the helm, it's entirely possible that native Korean-speaker Wonpil actually took the gold for both overall charm and line distribution during the ments (a.k.a. chatting with the audience) in Sydney. As you probably know, the dynamic five piece band is made up of leader Sungjin (rhythm guitar, vocals), Young K (bass, vocals, rap), Jae (lead guitar, vocals, and beloved YouTuber), Wonpil (keyboard/synthesiser, vocals), and maknae Dowoon (drums). See if you can hear their voices as you read through the transcript, and let us know how we did! Disclaimer: It was a crazy night on the dancefloor, and it's entirely possible that a few things are slightly mixed, or misheard here and there! It's not verbatim, but we've worked hard to imbue this transcript with the spirit and energy of each individual member of DAY6, and we hope you can happily experience every chuckle and heartwarming moment through our very carefully punctuated text! We also deeply recommend reading the rest of this article on a computer screen.

So, for this next little corner we're gonna do, we're gonna have to get a little bit hype, but, uh second floor please be careful?

So uh… MYDAY: [suddenly cheering loudly] J:…was it something I said? I never knew safety was such a great word [laughing]. Um, alright guys so we're gonna enjoy this, are y'all ready for the next section?! Is DAY6 ready for the next section? Let's get it on…[pauses as he realises he said something potentially racy, but laughs it off]. YK: [In the meantime, bursts into operatic vocals] READYYYYYY! ARE YOUUUU READYYYY! LET'S GOOOOOOO!

[Frowning] This has been a miscalculation on my part…second floor, uh, would you like to sit down, or… do you want to keep standing? SEE Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY SAT DOWN, you guys can sit down if you want! It was a miscalculation at first, I was like, oh let's all party together, and then during the song you guys were like, what am I doing here?

BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! YK: [chagrined, and dripping with sarcasm] THANK YOU SYDNEY! [Back to normal]…Yeah, but sadly we're already at the last section of the concert [tech comes onstage], I was too excited, I was too hyped, so I kept stepping on the line? So, I actually plugged out the bass cord [laughing]. J: Honestly though, I think that today is just that kind of environment, like.. you know what I'm sayin'? Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk. So uh, we're gonna try to make that happen not in this next part now but…this next part…wait backtrack, that didn't happen just now…this next part is the last part…we…[laughing] I MESSED IT UP! [Quickly] Hey Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Kiki…[grins] J: …Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Yeah uhh…this part is uh, final section. Um, he told, told you guys um head shaking…but uh this part is not… head shaking yet [trans]? Show me the voice! Show me your beautiful voice, alright? YK: Are you guys going to show us your voice? Are you guys going to show us your beautiful voice? Uh…can I hear you guys sing? ['Man in a Movie' singing time with YK and MYDAY] YK: YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! I really wanted to hear that, because actually, that was the last song before we came on right? And you guys were singing along to it? [points off to stage right] And we were right behind there? And we heard you. So you're gonna sing us the next song we're going to play. Alright, sing it first, let's go. SONG: 'Congratulations' SONG: '예뻤어You Were Beautiful' SONG: 'I Loved You' SONG: '좋아합니다I Like You' [SPECIAL VCR] SONG: '놓아 놓아 놓아Letting Go' (Rebooted version) [Ending ments] J: Wow [laughing]. Uh, this is so sad…come with me [laughing more]. Ok, uh, so guys, today for me was a phenomenal day. First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans]. Honestly, distance-wise it's pretty far; this time and memories, even though these will become memories, we think about it in the past, we will be together [trans]. So please don't forget this moment and I promise we'll come back [trans]. Thank you so much for today [trans]. See you guys, thank you! DW: Ha. He kind of said everything I wanted to say, yeah [trans]. Uh, ok? It was such a good memory for us today, and I hope this is a good memory for you guys too [trans]. We will work so hard and come back to give you better energy [trans]. Wow, thank you! YK: How was DAY6 concert? How was MYDAYs? 'Cause I thought you guys were amazing. There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you. WP: So our first world tour, and we are so lucky that our first stop was here in Australia [trans]. I was expecting it, but I didn't know I would get this much love, energy…I'll never forget this moment, and I'll promise to come back [trans]. For us DAY6, thank you so much for making these precious moments [trans]. I love you too. Thank you for, appreciate it, yeah. I want to take picture. [DAY6 and MYDAY photo time] J: So we're really at the final part of the concert. But uh, you guys know how crazy it gets right, at the end of our shows? Do you not know how crazy it gets at the end of DAY6 shows? OH, just real quick, let's be, let's stay safe…[ suddenly, throwing his head and arms back dramatically] PREACH, YES JAE PREACH!! [Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you! [blows kiss] J: [the very last to leave, waving fondly at their MYDAY with both hands until he disappears] [Concert end] If you made it all the way to the end, thank you for reading!

K-EXCLUSIVE: DAY6 wrap-up their Australian tour with a phenomenal set at the Enmore

Customarily a haunt for stand-up comedy, the iconic Enmore Theatre was shaken all the way to its Art Deco foundations last Sunday night by the combined passion of South Korean rock band DAY6, and two floors of feverish, screaming fans. After building up an impressive following both at home and overseas since debuting in 2015, DAY6 successfully launched their first ever world tour titled 'Youth' in June this year.

[sways from side to side] that's cool, but none of this ok [jumps up and down]. We don't want accidents happening and your safety comes first ok? So uh… MYDAY: [suddenly cheering loudly] J:…was it something I said? I never knew safety was such a great word [laughing]. Um, alright guys so we're gonna enjoy this, are y'all ready for the next section?! Is DAY6 ready for the next section?

[Frowning] This has been a miscalculation on my part…second floor, uh, would you like to sit down, or… do you want to keep standing? SEE Y'ALL HAVE ALREADY SAT DOWN, you guys can sit down if you want! It was a miscalculation at first, I was like, oh let's all party together, and then during the song you guys were like, what am I doing here?

I also want to stay in Sydney for more than two days [trans]. Yeah, I like it [trans]. Sungjin? Uh, Sungjin…Sungjin, uh what's that? [mumbling happily at the crowd] J: [to YK] Can you translate? YK: What, translate English to Korean?? J: [to WP] Ohh, you're speaking English??? MYDAY: [loud mixture of scandalised giggling and whooping] J: Oh, no no no! It's not like that, no, I was being curious, oh I swear! YK: [unable to contain his reaction, hollers] SAVAGE!!!! HARSH!!! [laughing] J: Wonpil was good, I'm sorry! MYDAY: [settling down again] YK: Guys, ah no, when we're on stage, when we're not wearing uh, our in-ear? Earphones? J: Uh huh YK: Uh, it's actually really hard to understand what anyone's saying. It's really…boomy? [laughs in Jae's direction]. [To Wonpil] Do you have anything more to say? WP: Yes, I already said but I'll do a bit more [trans]. I'll say more later [laughing].

BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! BRIAN! YK: [chagrined, and dripping with sarcasm] THANK YOU SYDNEY! [Back to normal]…Yeah, but sadly we're already at the last section of the concert [tech comes onstage], I was too excited, I was too hyped, so I kept stepping on the line? So, I actually plugged out the bass cord [laughing]. J: Honestly though, I think that today is just that kind of environment, like.. you know what I'm sayin'? Like it's so crazy, we got lights up in here, we got people who are dancin'. At one point, nah nah nah real talk, I don't say this at every stage, but at one point the stage was shaking. Real talk. So uh, we're gonna try to make that happen not in this next part now but…this next part…wait backtrack, that didn't happen just now…this next part is the last part…we…[laughing] I MESSED IT UP! [Quickly] Hey Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Kiki…[grins] J: …Sungjin, you got anything to say? SJ: Yeah uhh…this part is uh, final section. Um, he told, told you guys um head shaking…but uh this part is not… head shaking yet [trans]? Show me the voice! Show me your beautiful voice, alright? YK: Are you guys going to show us your voice? Are you guys going to show us your beautiful voice? Uh…can I hear you guys sing? ['Man in a Movie' singing time with YK and MYDAY] YK: YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! I really wanted to hear that, because actually, that was the last song before we came on right? And you guys were singing along to it? [points off to stage right] And we were right behind there? And we heard you. So you're gonna sing us the next song we're going to play. Alright, sing it first, let's go. SONG: 'Congratulations' SONG: '예뻤어You Were Beautiful' SONG: 'I Loved You' SONG: '좋아합니다I Like You' [SPECIAL VCR] SONG: '놓아 놓아 놓아Letting Go' (Rebooted version) [Ending ments] J: Wow [laughing]. Uh, this is so sad…come with me [laughing more]. Ok, uh, so guys, today for me was a phenomenal day. First off, um, you know, I was a little bit scared coming to Australia 'cause we haven't been here, it's our first time here for a concert. What if no one sings along, what if…[cheering]…you're right, I was stupid, you're right, you're right. You guys are crazy! Uh, yo, real talk, I don't think I've ever…uhh, how do I say this..I don't think I've ever let my 정신/jeongshin/ mind or mentality…I don't think I've ever let my mind this loose while being, while being on stage ever. Like usually, like, as an artist, you stand here like, I'm gonna sing good, I'm gonna play guitar real good, I'm gonna listen to my metronome, I'm gonna get…I didn't care today! So um, so excuse me if I was uh, off-pitch…I know, I know, I'm amazing! Haha, but anyway, guys today, today was exceptional. Um, no, no, really, you guys don't know how much this means to me today. Just overall, thank you so much for having us. I, I feel like, I feel like, well really blessed, thank you, I appreciate it. SJ: It's the first time for DAY6 coming to Australia [trans]. But this first experience was such a good experience in my life [trans]. Australia is a beautiful place and has beautiful people [trans]. Honestly, distance-wise it's pretty far; this time and memories, even though these will become memories, we think about it in the past, we will be together [trans]. So please don't forget this moment and I promise we'll come back [trans]. Thank you so much for today [trans]. See you guys, thank you! DW: Ha. He kind of said everything I wanted to say, yeah [trans]. Uh, ok? It was such a good memory for us today, and I hope this is a good memory for you guys too [trans]. We will work so hard and come back to give you better energy [trans]. Wow, thank you! YK: How was DAY6 concert? How was MYDAYs? 'Cause I thought you guys were amazing. There's so much I wanna say, but I don't know how to put it in words, especially in English. Uh, ok. First, I know how hard it is to memorise a song in a different language, 'cause we did covers and we tried singing in different languages; it's not easy. But throughout the entire concert, you guys were singing along…I don't know how that's possible. How many of you speak Korean as your first language? Not so many, exactly! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! So, again I feel blessed…I feel…I don't know if I deserve such love. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate it, and we'll be back. Thank you. WP: So our first world tour, and we are so lucky that our first stop was here in Australia [trans]. I was expecting it, but I didn't know I would get this much love, energy…I'll never forget this moment, and I'll promise to come back [trans]. For us DAY6, thank you so much for making these precious moments [trans]. I love you too. Thank you for, appreciate it, yeah. I want to take picture. [DAY6 and MYDAY photo time] J: So we're really at the final part of the concert. But uh, you guys know how crazy it gets right, at the end of our shows? Do you not know how crazy it gets at the end of DAY6 shows? OH, just real quick, let's be, let's stay safe…[ suddenly, throwing his head and arms back dramatically] PREACH, YES JAE PREACH!! [Jae's comprehensive safety talk time continues] J: I think there's something Young K wants to say right? YK: How's the, energy level right now? It's great… but not as great as before. So [screams], no no save your energy, we're gonna check how you guys are, but this time it's gonna be Wonpil doing it. WP: Yeah. YK: You know what to do. WP: Uh, Sydney. Are you…ready? Don't hear me, don't hear me. I can't hear it [trans]. MYDAY: [reasonable decibel of enthusiasm] WP: Amazing music. I'll use magic [trans]. Look at my hand [trans]. [Punching upwards into the air] Let's go!!!!! MYDAY: [ear-splitting screams that JYP himself probably heard from South Korea] SONG: '바래I Wish' SONG: '하게Free' [DAY6 in the pit with MYDAY time a.k.a. a wild and incredibly unconventional victory lap of the venue while miraculously keeping the song going, all clothing intact, and sending venue security into an apoplectic state of panic] DAY6: [Warmly exiting the stage] J: Thank you guys! YK: Thank you Sydney! Thank you Australia! SJ: See you soon! WP: Thank you, I appreciate it! J: [whispers in WP's ear] WP: …This has been great! Everyone, see you later, I love you! [blows kiss] J: [the very last to leave, waving fondly at their MYDAY with both hands until he disappears] [Concert end] If you made it all the way to the end, thank you for reading!
