Touching My Days Philippines video
As the concert was nearing its end, fans surprised DAY6 with a video that touched everyone’s hearts and caused Jae to tear up.
The video project, led by My Days Philippines, using the boys’ song “When You Love Someone,” tells the different stories and daily struggles and challenges of fans, and despite all these challenges, DAY6 and their music bring comfort and hope to them.
“I’ll give you my everything for your music that brings comfort during tough times, for your existence that brings hope and courage. To live for another day, to strive harder, to love ourselves more, you are our beautiful reason,” read the message in the video.
DAY6 members were completely overwhelmed and they turned emotional after watching the video.
“This is really touching. It’s crazy. I think this is really awesome. When did you guys prepare this? It’s really awesome. First of all, it’s our second time here and thank you guys for so many of you came out tonight to have fun with us,” said Wonpil.
He added, “Watching the video, I realized how busy you guys are and also how many hard things you go through. And I’m so happy that we are even if it’s a small we became a reason for your living. This video is really crazy. So even us, we go through difficult things as we are your reason also, you guys are our reason. Thank you guys so much and I don’t think I’ll be able to forget Manila. You guys are crazy. We promise we will come back. Thank you guys for reminding us why we make this music and why we perform. Mahal ko kayo.”
Dowoon echoed Wonpil, saying, “First of all, this video, like what Wonpil said, is really touching. Like Wonpil said, since we are also human, it’s actually hard to. Watching the video you guys made, I saw that we have so much strength. Actually this moment is like a reflective time for me. Looking how much we affect you guys and how much you love us, I realized how much I have to do better. Thank you guys for our good memories. Today’s stage is a present to us. You, one by one, are very important people. We always love you guys. We will come back.”
Young K said after watching the video, he realized the reason why DAY6 continue to sing and perform.
“It’s great to be back and it’s all because of you. Maraming salamat. By watching the video, it made me confirm why we sing. During the production of this (‘Gravity’) album and even before that, and I wrote it on my ‘thanks to,’ it was really hard to, after a certain point, it was really hard to find for the reason why we sing on stage because we are doing the same thing over and over again,” he said.
Young K explained, “I wasn’t doing it for my parents, I wasn’t doing it for the company. It wasn’t the competition anymore. I was looking for the reason why and there you go, you gave us the answer. Thank you very much. You guys said we are the reason but trust me, you guys are our motivation, you guys are our inspiration, you guys are the reason to be on the stage so thank you very much. Till the next time we meet, to have this much fun again, please stay healthy and happy.”
“So happy. You guys make me happy. Always. Thank you so much. Really, really. I wanna tell you guys (that you’re) awesome guys. I trust you. Study hard and work hard. We’ll come back. See you soon,” said Sungjin.
During Jae’s turn, he started thanking fans and became overwhelmed with emotions.
“First of all, thank you guys so much. Just the energy, you know. Thank you so much for just coming down with the journey with us and becoming and making this concert with us. So a round of applause to yourself. Kinda like everyone else is saying, that video makes us feel a lot because we do get stuck sometimes. We think sometimes why we do certain things,” he said and started tearing up.
He added, “You guys are lucky. No one ever sees me cry. It’s just like, life gets so hard sometimes. I’m really appreciative of the fact that we have you guys and you guys have us. And that we could be each other’s reason,” and he started crying again.
“I never cry. This never happened. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my reason to continue to do my best so thank you, guys,” Jae said.
DAY6’s “Gravity” World Tour in Manila was presented by Pulp Live World and JYP Entertainment.
