Fun Facts:
1. Sungjin's dream vacation is less about traveling to a particular place and more about the experience.
"I'd love some free time to eat delicious food, relax and do things I don't get the chance to do! Of course, it would be even better with the people I love."
-Sungjin
2. Young K says he's closer to his parents than anyone else, and that there are absolutely no secrets between them.
3. Wonpil is a massive soccer fan.
"When we went on a trip together after our first world tour, we played soccer while waiting for Young K to arrive. I was happy because it felt as if I had gone back to my school days."
-Wonpil
4. According to Jae, he doesn't really have any pet peeves. Instead, he prefers to focus on the positives in life.
5. Dowoon is the maknae of Day6, as well as in his family.
"I didn't know when I was younger, but now I realize that many people look out for me because I am the youngest. I'm grateful to everyone."

7. Jae says YouTube is the app he couldn't live without.
8. Dowoon's most overused phrase is "뭔데? 뭔데?" or "Mwonde? Mwonde?" which loosely translates to "What's up?" in English.

"It's not too hot and it's not too cold, so it's appropriate. Just right!"
-Wonpil
10. Sungjin is a pretty prolific instrumentalist.
