2PM Wooyoung talking about DAY6 and being known as "DAY6's father" 🥹
"DAY6 had so much hardship. [JYP] hyung was also really stubborn somthing then: they had to climb step by step, one stair at a time. They must never be just handed everything as if they came from a big agency. He must've wanted them to be a band that was truly hungry for music. That seems to be his mindset.
I once guested a few times at a small concert venue called Move Hall. Back then we would rehearse together, practicing in the basement studio. Someone asked me something he was really curious about: "Hyung, until when do I have to keep getting allowance money from my mom?" That's when I realized how much actual struggles they were bumping into. And with all that, they had the courage to actually say it out loud.
What I answered was right now it might feel that way to you, but I can guarantee you this: if you keep going the way you are, you'll be people who've built things up one by one, step by step. That means you'll never collapse easily. Later, when you really make it, you'll be people that absolutely cannot be compared to those who suddenly got big overnight. So for now, just tell your parents you're sorry and ask them to wait a little longer. It's okay. You haven't done anything wrong. Coz from what I can see, your music is excellent. It's so good. You're really doing so, so well.
But honestly even with that, I didn't predict they would become this successful. Like, really really successful.
Back then in the company, my nickname was 'DAY6’s father'. People would say 'Oh, DAY6’s dad is here. Father has arrived.' And you know what? It suits me, right?
It was just really heartwarming. Seeing those friends, who endured through all that hardship but is now performing in bigger and bigger venues, makes me so proud. And for their latest concert, they're doing it at their home stadium. From once playing to 400 or 500 people, now theyre filling a 50k-seat venue... it's just amazing. I'm really happy for them.
