Day6 Talks The Book of Us: Gravity, Becoming a Band & Playing Live Instruments

“Do you guys forget your lyrics often?”
Brian: “..sorry”

"imperfection is the perfection of a human being" - young k 2019

Young K freaking killed this interview. I think he's really shy about his English in interviews, but he kept giving such insightful answers to some really deep, difficult questions.

The evolution from "I'm drum" to "I'm so important" 😭😭❤

“IM SO IMPORTANT” - Dowoon 2019
YES BABYYYY

This is how you interview Day6. This is how you interview a kpop group/artist. This is how you do an interview in general. Talk about their craft. Make the artists feel that they are valued for what they do more than what is expected of them.

I like how Young K tries to pass of the question to others but he ends up having to answer it anyway lol

This is a "conversation" not just an interview.

This is the BEST interview Day6 has ever had, honestly. It dives deep into their incredible music process, their characters, their thinking mechanism, their goals and aspirations,... Stuffs that they seldom got asked before. Zach made it such a smooth, comfortable, casual yet insightful conversation. I love how inclusive he tries to make the convo be, not letting the members who don't speak English as fluently be "bystanders" like a lot of other interviewers in the States have done. And I LOVE LOVE his questions!!! I have been eagerly waiting for this interview because Zach Sang Show is my favorite celebrity show out there. A big thank you to Zach for being kind, thoughtful and wholesome!
Also, I'm so proud of how much Dowoon, Sungjin and Wonpil's English has improved over the US tour! Sungjin seems to understand Zach's question even before it is translated to him, Dowoon is really comfortable with replying in English and all three of them puts effort to answer back to Zach in simple English terms before moving on to the deeper stuffs in Korean. I really respect that.

no one:
not a single soul:
dowoon: "I ThInK aM pUrE"
young K and Jae: *surprised pikachu face*

Now I want to interview them more than ever!!! I have so many follow up questions!

This interview is amazing and all but why does Dowoon looks like he's a child sitting between his parents while sitting in between Jaehyungparkian

Also I could feel the gears in youngk's brain turning hahahaha baby was kinda tired with all the English he was speaking but he did so well, I'm still crying over his "help me" to Jae. The funny thing is in Korea it's Jae who goes "help me", the tables keep turning😂

“imperfection is the perfection of a human being”
he always has SUCH a way with words it’s INSANE. i literally cannot stress this enough. he articulates thoughts into words so PERFECTLY (i know he said it’s impossible to be perfect but STILL) and it’s one of my favorite things about him. he always finds a way to say the words that i don’t know how to say and it’s CRAZY. especially considering eNGLISH ISNT EVEN HIS FIRST LANGUAGE HES EVERYTHING TO ME IM SORRYYDHDHDHDJ

“so u do want to do it again?”
“..... yeah.”
“help me.”

Day6 dodging dating questions till the end lol, they’re always asked if their songs represent experiences they’ve gone through; and they’ve become pretty adept at dodging them. Yes boys keep your private lives, we don’t care if you date, nor if you share it with us, just stay happy and healthy and we’ll be satisfied.

Young k really said "it doesn't matter how much you want me to admit I make songs about my past girlfriends bc I wont" LAKSKFJFJJDJFJD HE WAS SO EVASIVE. UGH I LOVE HIM AND HOW ARTICULATE HE IS.

dowoon saying he's pure made my heart burst

"When you spit out a word, you can't take it back." - YoungK 2019. These words are so true. You don't know how powerful words can be. Wjdbbsbs

What I love about Day6, Jae and Brian are always trying to get the other members to talk and they have no problem translating for them so they can participate.

I really wish someday there will be a Korean show who asks them deep questions like this so other members can comfortably speak their opinion.

thanks jae... imma be using "genre-lize" from now on.
someone: so, what type of music do you like?
me: sorry, I don't genre-lize myself.

I see Zack trying so hard to connect despite the language barrier and the cultural gap... love this guy 😂

39:21
jae: our members are pretty good at english.
sungjin, in his head: i understood exactly what he said but ima still shake my head no

I just realised that this interview is nearly an hour long. *THE BLISS*

I don't think the Korean interviewers ask K-pop stars about their craft like this. Perhaps You Hee-yeol's Sketchbook might qualify, I'm not sure. It is nice to see kpop artists asked to formulate answers to probing questions and not just being asked to show off their aegyo or playing games.

youngk and jae both switching roles to ask each other for help in korean and english questions lmao

I never realized that Young K has an accent until I listened to this interview.

Young K is deep. I already know that, but in this interview, he just showed so much of how he thinks, and what he is as a person. So deep yet so pure.

Jae has a way of speaking that keeps you interested in the conversation. He can be talking about, I don't know, textile and it'll be very interesting to focus. (edit: now I understand why he's a good talker, he wanted to be in UN. That's my dream job too)
Oh my dear Brian, I will call you by your real name because I would like to talk to the imperfect you, your struggles and your thoughts, whether happy or sad, build who you are today. Some people don't accept those bad things and see them as obstacles, but you, my dear, are a one hell of a strong human. Mad respect.
About the live instruments, I've been missing to hear real instruments as someone who grew up listening to rock and punk, and I recently rediscovered day6 and my ears have been blessed. Never change your style please please. Once I get a chance to see you live, I want to have that feeling you have right now.
One side note: sungjin s accent is so cute. Keep it up and never change it young boy.

it felt like day6 themselves were impressed about zach's meaningful questions, you can see how young k wanted to put out well tought answers too. i'm so happy this interview happened, i could listen to their talking voices forever.

"Brotherhood. We learn to lean with each other." - Jae.
Omg, my eyes are sweating.

No one:
Sungjin and Wonpil the whole interview: •-• •-•

23:46 Zach: Is that from reality, or is that fiction?
YoungK: It all depends on your imagination.
Jae: *dies*
Me: Hmmm, interesting.

"I think I'm pure."
-- confidence level: DOWOON

u know after that one interview where that guy asked them about performing in north korea *eye roll* this was so nice and refreshing. they talk about their music all the time, but no one really asks in-depth questions in getting to know them (nonetheless, with research actually done!) i appreciate zach also trying to get shy people like sungjin and wonpil to be part of the conversation, as well as allowing jae to be the smart person he is.

Young K's first English sentence was, "Get out of my swamp!!!"

I wonder whats going on in Sungjin, Wonpil, and Dowoon's mind when they have all of these English interviews lmao

When Youngk was talking Jae looked very proud and kept nodding with a smile :')

"Are you rock n roll group?"
Young k : Are we?
.
.
That's cute 😂

"Brotherhood."
I literally cried. Also, seeing how YoungK smiled at Jae's words

"We don't really genre-lize music"
- Jae
Yeah baby. Music is just music. Just a form of communication, from one heart to another to millions. ♥️♥️♥️

"I'M SO IMPORTANT" we all need that *flex*

I LOVE LOVE LOVE HOW WELL RESEARCHED THIS WAS AND SO MANY INTERESTING QUESTIONS THIS IS THE BEST DAY6 INTERVIEW TILL DATE HELL YEAH THANK YOU

Apart from Graham Norton, Zach is by far one of THE BEST INTERVIEWERs/TALK SHOW HOSTs out there now.
The first time I saw him was in the interview he did with BTS backstage of AMAs 2017. When e.v.e.r.y. s.i.n.g.l.e. i.n.t.e.r.v.i.e.w. question was asking BTS about girlfriends or who they wanna meet and collaborate with (some people don't even know their names), Zach (got all their names and info down to a T) asked BTS PROPER QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR MUSIC AND THEIR CREATIVE PROCESS. He was the FIRST interviewer to ask about the BTS x UNICEF End Violence Project. You could literally see the gratitude and appreciation RM felt when Zach brought it up...ZACH IS A PRO. A PROPER INTERVIEWER WHO RESPECTS HIS PROFESSION AND THE PEOPLE HE INTERVIEWS.
In this one...you could see how Zach slowly but surely managed to coax the quieter and timid members out of their shells throughout the hour long interview. The way he included them with personalized questions. The way he read up on their lives not just their professional lives but personal lives. Zach has always made sure to treat the people he interviews as a human being first and foremost before being an artist. He doesn't see colour or language or gender as a barrier. I truly believe it is from his heart everytime he starts with "Hello, beautiful humans!"
Sincerely adore and respect Zach. He is wise beyond his age. Fantastic interviewer as always. ❤

I'm so flipping proud of Young K for talking so much in this interview, that must have been so hard but he spoke really well like poetry just flows from his mouth what is this sorcery

Sungjin is definitely me during a group presentation in-class. 😂

this interview is *EVERYTHING* their responses are so well-thought out, i could listen to this as a podcast everyday and i would never complain, you could just see how genuine they are about making music, just another reason to love them more🤧

YoungK: Help me
I love how organic this whole interview was

Dowoon highlights for the interview
"I am important"
"I think I'm pure"
"Thank you guys" (uwu)
THIS IS WHY HE'S MY BIAS. I. AM. GOING. TO CRY. HE'S SO CUTE.

"Rock is always alive. Music in general is always alive. "- Jae
Oh i love you more Jae!

I love how Zack gives the opportunity to all the members to talk and actually asks about important stuff

20:28
"Help me"
_Young K, 2019

Sungjin’s sattori is so strong in this interview holy crap

Five minutes into the video and I am super proud of how eloquently youngk is able to express himself. Little did I know a few mins later he would tell us about his fear of making mistakes. If you're reading this youngk, please be encouraged that you are doing well :) 수고했어요.
This interview is so good and it is 50 minutes of day6 we hardly get to see. Many of the US interviews are about introducing them to people who haven't heard about them yet but this one feels ... more personal/in depth. So proud of how far they've come and their unadultered honesty is like a breath of fresh air.

young k is so witty with his answers!! i aspire to be THIS confident

i never knew young k was so eloquent with english.. i know he’s amazing with words in korean obviously since he’s day6’s main lyricist but i had no idea he was so well spoken in english as well

I wholeheartedly agree with all the comments that are praising Jae and Young K's comments, how well-thought and well-spoken they are, but I feel the need to just quickly touch on what Sungjin said about improving your vocals.
He says (quoting Jae here): that "the further you dive into vocals, the deeper it gets and the harder it gets to understand because you start understanding that the spectrum is wider than you originally thought it was" and I think that honestly goes for everything. I mean, he is completely right. What I essentially picked up was this: "The better you get at something, the more you learn there is to learn." The further in the process you get of perfecting a craft, the more difficult it gets because you realize there are so many more aspects to think of and details to dig into. There will always be something to work on, there will always be room for improvement. You can always learn how to do better than before, which may seem like a never-ending road. But that doesn't mean you aren't already good. Look at Sungjin: An incredible singer with a huge talent, yet he still finds things to work on, because that's just how it is. No matter how good you get, there will always be more to understand and learn.
Yet after stating this, he says he just finds joy in practicing. Like, despite how difficult it gets, despite how much there is to learn, he keeps going because he enjoys singing. It's hard, yes, but that's not stopping him from doing what he enjoys and wants to do, and I think that's a really important thing to take from this. You shouldn't stop because it gets hard. You should keep going because you love it. This may just be me reading too much into this, but nonetheless, I think it's an important message to spread and take with you through life.
(Sorry that this was kinda messy, I hope you got the gist of it)

14:17 dowoon: 맞아요
sungjin: correct :)
TRANSLATOR SUNGJIN COME THRU BABIE

At this point, I love Zach. He was so well researched and actually wanted to know more abour our boys. This is perfect 💜

Most interviews really aren’t that interesting but this honestly got deep and I FOR ONCE heard some stuff I hadn’t heard before. I even ended up thinking about life for a minute too like when Brian said “With writing music you have time to change and fix things and make a good end product but with conversations if you say something then you can’t take that back or fix it” I really felt that wowie.

"One thing we've all learned in common, is probably brotherhood...and the fact that we learned to lean on each other...because, I feel like groups are made to cover weaknesses...to make things perfect..."
-Jay 2019
He probably meant that as a throw-away line, but that hit me like a ton of bricks...

I can listen zach and young k talk for hours
Feel like they can be friends

Zach is my fave interviewer especially for Kpop. He really listens and actually intrested in the Artists craft and stories. He is genuine. Thanks for having them!

zach snowballing questions is the best thing ever, like genuinely, he asks the greatest, most deepest questions and *THIS* is why i love him.

39:19
Jae: Oh, our members are pretty good at English
Wonpil: 🤔
Dowoon: 🙈
Sungjin: U🙅‍H🙅M N🙅O
that's right we are deyshic and we and you and okay the this is and i like the misses annie mae mystic in a

When they said that they keep writing music they aint joking MAN THEY DROPPED GRAVITY TWO MONTHS AGO AND NOW THERE’S ENTROPY
TY FOR FEEDING MY DAYS EVEN IF IM SO BROKE

Dowoon's shyness cannot be hidden... He just can't. I MAN LOOK ATE HIS EAR! 😂

41:59
"You are radiating beauty, my friend... " - He speaks for the whole world ❤

jae is absolutely more comfortable when speaking english ...

Young K’s voice when he speaks in English is a blessing to everyone’s ears ... and he is talking about deep stuff ... I need a podcast late at night of Young K talking about life ...

“you’re radiating beauty, my friend.”
i just died at that line hahahaha

So..from 16 to about age 25, I played in bands as a drummer... towards the end I had picked up the guitar and contributed guitar riffs to the song-writing process as well... but then, when it became obvious that there was no future for me in music, I had to put it down and go find a career to support myself... watching these guys talk about their experiences as professional musicians is truly cathartic... I envy their ability to express themselves through music, and even make a living through that expression... I hope they are able to stay together and produce music for years to come...

easily the most respectful interviewer of this generation.

Zach is easily my favorite interviewer to do kpop interviews! It seems like he really does his research, knows the groups and their music, and asks real, in-depth questions. A lot of interviewers ask much simpler questions or stuff that has been asked before, and generally boring questions. Zach asks about lyrics and concepts and meanings, and its so good to hear! I would trust Zach to interview any of my favorite kpop groups!

Brian is very nervous but at the same time very eloquent
You're perfect Youngk 😍

i've lost count of the amount of times i've watched this interview because of how good it is

50:05 “he has a friendly aura” YALL HE DOES ISTG

I like how Jae and YoungK just sitting there understanding each other and speaking english while Dowoon, Sungjin, and Wonpil are just sitting there like... uh huh... XD

Zach: "you are radiating beauty my friend"
*No lie.preach 🙌🏼🙌🏼*

Zach is one of the greatest interviewers I've ever watched. He tries to connect and engage the members as much as possible and he tries to be extremely respectful. He interviews are lit. I

I like how he doesn't overstep the idols boundaries, and he actually is quite knowledgeable about them, which makes him a very good interviewer.. THANK YOU SO MUCH

i loved the compliments you gave to them about their skin and beauty 😂 thank you for telling young k his beauty radiates 💙

Dowoon was so adorable throughout this whole thing I cannot
Also Sungjin's pretend pondering face when he didn't want to answer LMAO

YoungK's take on not writing about things personal to him but instead writing FOR the listeners, singlehandedly showcased how he is a Business Management graduate.
He knows that in order to sell a product, one must firstly create the product with the consumers in mind--- what the latter wants, need, and be interested in.
YoungK did that exactly and look where it led them.
Props to you, Brian/YoungK!!! 💟

Young K: I am not good with words
Also Young K: keeps me entirely hooked with his deep and insightful thoughts about music and life during the whole interview

Im living for the amount of kpop interviews zach is doing
Pls do Stray Kids at some point🙏💕

"so final thoughts, dan, you got anything?"
"so you guys aren't dancers?"
bruh. dan really should just put some time aside the day before an interview to write some actual questions down 'cause every time eye-
zac, sweetie, you did wonderfully and we thank you!

”im so important” HES SO CUTE

Young K and Dowoon were so hilarious. Especially when Young K starts talking in tiny font like when he thanks the heavens for the monitors with lyrics or when he asks Jae for help.

the way they love dowoon is so freaking cute lmao

day6: *almost finishing with the interview"
dan: "so you guys aren't dancers?" omg AM DECEASED

Brian saying "I can take it (those vicious words), because I care about you." literally ripped my heart out rip

Day6 is keeping the band culture, i love their talents and abilities to standout the most in the era of dancing bands.

Wonpil is there, just breathing and I can't stop looking at him smh

I love how Zach really tried to talk to everyone and make everyone have a good time. Even Wonpil and Sungjin who seemed apprehensive at first got a couple of minutes to talk about stuff. Can't even begin to say how much I appreciated the questions. Great job!

That was the saddest "help me" i've ever heard

39:18 Jae: Oh no, our members are pretty good at English
Dowoon: 👀👀🤨🤨 *flash back to Jae's vlog when they were gathering nature sounds when it was raining*
Sungjin: 🙅🏻‍♂️🙅🏻‍♂️🙅🏻‍♂️
