DAY6 is proving their unstoppable popularity once again by dominating the Melon charts, even grabbing the No. 1 spot!

Since releasing their latest mini-album Band Aid on September 2, DAY6 has been at the top of Melon’s weekly chart. Their title track "Melt Away" took No. 1 for two straight weeks (Sept 2-15).

In the most recent chart (Sept 16-22), their track "HAPPY" from the album Fourever claimed the No. 1 spot, followed by "Welcome to the Show" at No. 2, "Melt Away" at No. 4, and "Time of Our Life" at No. 5. Having four songs in the Top 5 is a huge achievement! Their older hits are also climbing the charts—"You Were Beautiful" ranked 11th, "Congratulations" at 47th, "She Smiles" at 80th, and "Monster" at 93rd, proving their strong digital presence.

Not only are their new songs doing well, but older tracks like "HAPPY," "Welcome to the Show," "Time of Our Life" (2019), "You Were Beautiful" (2017), and even their debut song "Congratulations" from 2015 are making waves on the charts. DAY6 continues to show that they are "Trustworthy to Listen," and fans just can't get enough of their music.

Celebrating their 10th anniversary since debut, DAY6 is solidifying their position with their third world tour, DAY6 3RD WORLD TOUR . From September 20 to 22, they held a solo concert at Incheon’s Inspire Arena, performing for 40,000 fans over three days.

This marks their first world tour in nearly five years, kicking off in Incheon. The tour will continue in Kuala Lumpur (Oct 5-6), Bali (Oct 13), Surabaya (Oct 16), Jakarta (Oct 19), Singapore (Nov 22), Bangkok (Nov 30), Hong Kong (Jan 26, 2025), Osaka (Feb 12-13), Tokyo (Feb 15-16), and Manila (Feb 22).

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
