K-pop’s unique rock band DAY6 is back for the first time in three years, with yet another ode to both the marvels and complexities of youth that the quartet captures like no other.
 
“Fourever” comes as DAY6’s first EP in three years; the band dropped its seventh EP, “The Book of Us: Negentropy — Chaos swallowed up in love,” in April 2021 before its members began their military duties.

Now, the four members are back, and they want to start fresh with what they do best: Cherishing every moment of their lives and the people they share them with.

“We wanted to show where DAY6 stands and who we are right now, especially because this is a new album to come in such a long time,” Young K told reporters in an interview Wednesday ahead of the album’s release on Sunday at 6 p.m.
 
“So rather than making a big transformation in our music, we wanted to show you what we have through the kind of music that we used to make, but more matured and developed than before, and say, ‘Everyone, we are DAY6 and this is the kind of music that we make.’”
