So, I'm done for telling y'all one of my favourite band, DAY6. But before that let me explain why I choose them as my role model.

Actually, it all started from Stray Kids, my favourite kpop boygroup. I was watching one of their members, Bang Chan's live streaming on VLIVE app. He was playing on of DAY6's track, I Need Somebody. When I was listening it, it's make me sad and realized that sometimes i felt alone, eventhough I'm with my friends or anyone. That's too emotional right?

But then after that, when I enter Senior High, one of my friend recommended me some DAY6 songs, and I like some of them until now. 

And one of the members, Yoon Dowoon, the DAY6 drummer, make me motivated to play drums again. It's been 5 years that I haven't play drums. In my opinion, he playing the drums smoothly, but I think the other members play their own instruments and sings pretty good too.

Questions:
1. When did DAY6 debut?
2. What is their band name before DAY6?
3. How many members in DAY6 nowadays?
4. Who is the leader of DAY6?
5. What is their first track?

So, it's the end of the blog. See you on the next blog. Bye!
