Day6 announced their highly anticipated comeback earlier today (March 4) at midnight KST through X (formerly known as Twitter). The band revealed the title and format of the comeback, which will be a mini-album titled ‘Fourever’. The project’s name also appears to be a nod to the band’s current number of members.
The announcement also came with a short trailer film, featuring old footage from the band’s past live shows, backtracked by an instrumental that is presumably lifted from the upcoming record. While other details like a tracklist and title track have yet to be announced, ‘Fourever’ is due out March 18 at 6pm KST.
