Boy band DAY6 is on fire, showing off their global appeal by selling out tickets for their overseas concerts as part of their new world tour.

DAY6 is gearing up for their third world tour, DAY6 3RD WORLD TOUR , starting with a three-day solo concert at the Inspire Arena in Incheon from September 20 to 22. All 40,000 tickets for these shows sold out on August 29, proving they're a top K-pop act.

After their Incheon concerts, DAY6 quickly sold out tickets for their overseas shows. Their concerts in Kuala Lumpur on October 5 and 6, Bali on October 13, Surabaya on October 16, and Jakarta on October 19 sold out fast.

Due to high demand, extra dates were added in Jakarta on October 20 and Singapore on November 22, which also sold out.

Originally, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta had only one show each on October 5 and 19. But because of the overwhelming demand, JYP Entertainment added another show on October 6 in Kuala Lumpur and on October 20 in Jakarta.

These additional tickets sold out just as quickly, highlighting DAY6's growing popularity around the world.

So far, DAY6 has sold out all 10 concerts across six locations on their world tour, including Incheon, Kuala Lumpur, Bali, Surabaya, Jakarta, and Singapore.

The tour will continue in Bangkok on October 30, and early 2025 will bring shows in Hong Kong (January 26), Osaka (February 12-13), Tokyo (February 15-16), and Manila (February 22).

With new tracks like "Melt" topping the charts along with hits like "Welcome to the Show," "HAPPY," "A Page of You," and "You Were Beautiful," DAY6’s upcoming world tour is set to be a huge success, showing their impressive global impact.

Actor Song Kang Ho shocked fans by revealing the surprising reason he initially turned down the iconic role in Joint Security Area (JSA).

On February 4, the movie JSA was celebrated as a "Visionary" work at a special GV (Guest Visit) event for CJ ENM’s 30th anniversary at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. The event was attended by director Park Chan-wook and stars like Song Kang Ho, Lee Byung Hun, Lee Young Ae, Kim Tae Woo, and Ko Kyung Beom, who shared stories from the making of the film.

Joint Security Area, a groundbreaking film by director Park Chan-wook, tells the story of North and South Korean soldiers caught in a tragic incident at the border, highlighting the human side of the divided nations. The film has been widely praised for changing the perception of inter-Korean relations and is seen as a key moment in Korean cinema.

During the event, Song Kang Ho admitted that he turned down the JSA script at first, saying, "The script was just too perfect. It was so well-written and tightly woven that I couldn’t believe it. I thought, ‘Is this really Korean cinema at this level?’ I felt it was too good, and I figured the movie wouldn’t live up to the script."

He also mentioned that at the time, Park Chan-wook’s previous films hadn’t done well, which made him even more doubtful. "But after meeting the director, I started to trust him," Song Kang Ho added.

Reflecting on the film 20 years later, Song Kang Ho joked, "I was flipping through channels and watched JSA again. I thought, ‘There was a time when I wasn’t envious of Lee Byung Hun,’ but he looked so handsome and cool back then." He continued, laughing, "One thing about Park Chan-wook's films is that they have a depth and elegance that you just can’t forget. It’s probably why his new movie is called I Can’t Help It."

Song Kang Ho also spoke fondly of reuniting with his JSA co-stars after 25 years. He shared, "We didn’t watch the film together, but we had a cozy two-hour dinner. After all this time, it felt nostalgic. It was heartwarming to sit together again and reminisce about the past. It really made me realize how meaningful these moments are."
