They also took part in the creation of the song. She also contributed her voice to background vocals, and Dowoon has been playing the drums.
The agency he worked with said Dowoon had melted away the stress and worries he was experiencing throughout his day to create his first solo track. Introspection on his both the past and present and his thoughts, he composed his own story.”
The single will be available on the 27th of September at 6 pm KST (5 1 am EDT) on the major music streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, MelOn, and many more.
The digital single comprises two tracks, Suddenly and an instrumental version. The music video that is scheduled to be released will be an animation.
To give a teaser of the song, we’ve got the first concept photos in which Dowoon is enjoying time alone with his dog Tory, drinking watermelon, and enjoying music.
It is important to note that, in contrast to the typical K-pop group with singers and dancers, DAY6 is more like the traditional bands that you see from the West.
Every musician plays an instrument when they sing and perform without any choreography.
That’s why the fans are delighted to hear Dowoon as a singer since the majority of his time is spent on drums in the group’s reunions, with only a few lyrics that are typically sung by the chorus.
