DAY6's Dowoon was a guest star on Kim Jong Min 's YouTube channel on November 22, 2024. On that occasion, the DAY6 member opened up about how his income changed after the band's success. Since his debut, Dowoon has consistently named Jong Min as his role model.
This was the first time the two had met and talked. "When I was young, my mom didn't think I had a clear direction for my future," he said. "He told me to choose a role model, so I thought about who it would be. Then, I turned on the TV, and there you were. You were smiling so brightly, and it was such an uplifting smile.
From then on, you became my role model. I want to be a pure-hearted person like you," Dowoon continued. DAY6 returned to full activity last November 2024 after completing their military service, and every song they have released since then has topped the charts in Korea.
Mentioning this, Jong Min feels confident that DAY6 is now at the peak of their popularity. "I feel like we're really loved, and I'm really grateful for all of this. But there's also a little bit of pressure," Dowoon said. "Has anything changed now that you're doing well? Or has anything changed in your daily life?" Jong Min asked.
Dowoon admitted that his income has increased significantly. "At first, I earned about 30,000 won a month. If there was a music festival and they could make time for us in between other performances, we would go and perform. Things weren't easy for us at that time.
We would buy fried chicken and joke, 'Oh, we've spent our entire monthly income!'," he recalled. Now that he has achieved success with DAY6, Dowoon was asked about the most expensive thing he bought. "I bought a car for my mom. She drives an old car, and I was worried about that. So, I bought her a new car," he concluded.
