History YMMV / DAY6

* {{Tearjerker}}:

** Probably one of the biggest ones to date is when they announced in May 2020 that they will be taking a hiatus due to multiple members being diagnosed with symptoms of anxiety. What makes this hit even harder is that the announcement was ''right before'' their album ''The Book of Us: The Demon'' was scheduled to release.
* UncannyValley: Intentionally evoked in some music videos and teasers.
** The [=MV=] for "Breaking Down" leans into this with its random glitching and neon colours.
** The [=MV=] for "Stop The Rain" has some rather [[StylisticSuck dodgy green-screen work]] that ends up looking more unsettling than dream-like.
** Some of the teaser photos for ''Gravity'' featured some members staring blankly into a distorted reflection of themselves.
** The "art film" that accompanied the announcement of ''Entropy'' is full of DerangedAnimation. Accompanied only by the lonely arpeggios that open "Like A Flowing Wind," it depicts a figure holding its own, aflame heart, then transforming into a cluster of flowers that are then crushed by a pair of hands, that then transform into a [[HanahakiDisease more detailed human heart with flowers bursting out of it.]] It ends with the words, [[TitleDrop "Sweet chaos.]] [[{{Foreshadowing}} I'm losing control, but I like it."]]
** The video for "Sweet Chaos" features the band slowly disintegrating while randomly shifting from monochrome to colour as they perform.
** Several billboards featuring blood-red, melting hearts with spikes and devil's tails sticking out of them superimposed on an eerie black background and only featuring the phrase [[MadLove "why must love always be one-sided?"]] popped up ahead of the release of ''The Demon''.

** Fandom friendships have also been forged with those of other groups under JYPE: most notably, Seungmin from Music/StrayKids is a super-fan and often shouts them out or casually covers their songs during livestreams. Chan and Young K are also friends. This has caused several Stays to also become fans.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: "EMERGENCY" is seen as one in the context of ''Entropy,'' due to being a bubbly synthpop song that sounds like it could be right at home on the Mario Kart soundtrack sandwiched between two heavier hard-rock songs. It's still a well-liked song, but can make for quite the MoodWhiplash.

** There is a lot of overlap with the fanbases of other K-rock acts such as The Rose, N.Flying, [=IZ=] and ONEWE.

** The band managed to successfully complete a year-long project in 2017 where they released two songs ''every single month''. On top of that, they performed concerts and hosted livestreams to accompany said songs, which proved to also be a contributing factor in the boost to their popularity.

** "What's the title of this song again?" [[labelnote:Explanation]] On the flip side of that, [=MyDays=] have a bad habit of forgetting the titles of [=DAY6=]'s songs, mostly because of the large volume of their discography (with many also having Korean titles to double down on the difficulty). [[/labelnote]]
** "No bad songs" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Fans on internet forums like to state this as the band is known for their [[AwesomeMusic/{{DAY6}} impressively varied discography]]. It's gotten to the point where many non-fans agree with the sentiment. [[/labelnote]]

** The band managed to successfully complete a year-long project in 2017 where they released two songs ''every single month''. On top of that, they did a concert and a live to accompany said songs, which majorly boosted their popularity.

** "You Were Beautiful" being able to climb up on the charts at the most unexpected of moments, even when they were releasing a new album.

** "Jae is the only normal one in the group." [[labelnote:Explanation]] Jae is perceived by the fandom as the closest approximation of a OnlySaneMan as some of his reactions to the group's antics consist of either stony silence, or an exhausted DeathGlare - usually a combination of the two. [[/labelnote]]
** "The idol of idols" [[labelnote:Explanation]] [=DAY6=] seem to have a lot of fans within the Korean music and entertainment industry, making many fans joke that there's always a [=MyDay=] at the ready whenever the group does remotely anything, whether it's on an internet forum or a variety show.

*** The music video for "Zombie" getting around 3 million views during the first 24 hours, which is some of the highest number of views the group has seen to date.

It's still a good song, but can make for quite the MoodWhiplash.

** The fandom is peaceable for the most part, but there is still a divide between those who have a strong preference for the heavier, more alt-rock-leaning tracks and those who gravitate more towards the lighter pop-rock of earlier releases. Most just choose to [[TakeAThirdOption appreciate both sides equally.]]
** There is also a small, but vociferous segment of fans who believe that Junhyeok's departure also took some of the group's magic, despite only contributing to the first [=EP=].

** "Stop The Rain" and that glorious crescendo of a guitar solo.
** "Rescue Me" - both the main guitar riff and the varying arpeggios that run under the verses bolster the angst and theatricality.

** "The idol of idols" [[labelnote:Explanation]] [=Day6=] seem to have a lot of fans within the Korean music and entertainment industry, making many fans joke that there's always a My Day at the ready whenever the group does remotely anything, whether it's on an internet forum or a variety show. [[/labelnote]]
** "Kings of forgetting their lyrics" [[labelnote:Explanation]] The band (particularly Wonpil and Young K) have a really bad habit of forgetting their lyrics, whether it's a radio show, concert, or even ''live television''. [[/labelnote]]

[[labelnote:Explanation]] On the flip side of that, My Days have a bad habit of forgetting the titles of [=Day6=]'s songs, mostly because of the large volume of their discography (with many having Korean titles to double down on the difficulty).

** Several billboards featuring blood-red, melting hearts with spikes and devil's tails sticking out of them superimposed on an eerie black background and only featuring the phrase [[MadLove "why must love always be one-sided?"]] popped up ahead of the release of ''The Demon'', furthering speculation on a much darker turn and concept than previously done.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: They're known on the internet as artists to "trust and listen to" due to their diverse and lengthy discography.

** The "art film" that accompanied the announcement of ''Entropy'' is full of DerangedAnimation. Accompanied only by the lonely arpeggios that open "Like A Flowing Wind," it depicts a figure holding its own, aflame heart, then transforming into a cluster of flowers that are then crushed by a pair of hands, that then transform into a [[HanahakiDisease more detailed human heart with flowers bursting out of it.]]

** The fandom is peaceable for the most part, but there is still a divide between those who have a strong preference for the heavier, rockier tracks and those who lean more towards the lighter pop-rock of earlier releases.

** The slap bass in "Be Lazy" - fun, groovy and very prone to being stuck in your head.

** A fair amount of overlap is also present with fans of {{Music/Waterparks}} - largely due to Awsten and Jae being friends and often interacting on Twitter.

BigLippedAlligatorMoment: "EMERGENCY" is seen as one in the context of ''Entropy,'' due to being a bubbly synthpop song that sounds like it could be right at home on the Mario Kart soundtrack sandwiched between two angrier, heavier hard-rock songs. It's still a good song, but can make for quite the MoodWhiplash.

BrokenBase:

EpicRiff: Oh, several.

FriendlyFandoms: The members are friends with several other bands and artists, so it naturally is expected.
