DAY6's Dowoon discusses his personal growth after military service and shares insights into the band's latest album, 'Fourever'!

In a recent interview celebrating the launch of DAY6's 8th mini-album, [Fourever], Dowoon, the band's drummer, shared a glimpse into his personal journey. "During my military service, I took a lot of time to reflect on myself and became healthier. I've become a smooth talker," he chuckled.
Unlike his earlier reserved self, Dowoon now confidently led conversations during the interview.Reflecting on his struggles during the hiatus after the hit song 'Zombie', he confessed, "I struggled during the hiatus after 'Zombie'. I felt needed by DAY6, but being alone brought confusion about my identity. Even running my own YouTube channel to slowly resolve the confusion wasn’t easy. Going to the military gave me a lot of time to think, and I realized I hadn't been loving myself enough. I decided to live without regrets. So, I immediately took composition lessons if I want and enjoy fishing, doing everything I want to do."
Speaking of fishing, it's clear Dowoon's enthusiasm for the hobby knows no bounds. He even treated fans to self-caught sashimi during a special event! He said, "I want to be a regular on Channel A’s 'City Fisherman'. It's a really good program. I wanted to give my fans good fish that I caught myself, but there’s definitely a right time for fishing. I bought 30-40 pieces of amberjack with my own money to send to them. I only caught about seven or so myself."
