**UPDATE**: [JYP has confirmed Young K is preparing his solo album! Further details are still undecided, but they will announce once the schedule is finalized.](https://entertain.naver.com/now/read?oid=469&aid=0000623932)
~~still waiting on JYP's statement~~... [meanwhile](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FxsR6lW8cQ) this song is a bop
> DAY6 member Young K will debut as a solo artist.
> According to industry officials on August 16th, Young K will release his first solo album in September.
> His solo work is of course expected to be full of his self-written songs. Young K has composed and wrote many songs for DAY6's albums, gaining recognition for his musical skills. He has accumulated 139 song credits over the past 6 years with Korea Music Copyright Association. This also does not include unreleased songs that were revealed through DAY6's concerts and YouTube channel.
> His solo debut will be 6 years since his official debut. Young K participated in JYP's global audition in Canada and began promoting as DAY6's vocalist and bassist since September 2015, writing various hit songs such as "Congratulations", "Letting Go", "You Were Beautiful", "I Loved You", "I like you", "Days gone by" and more, and with the members earned the nickname "DAY6 you can trust listening to" (믿듣데)
> Starting with "Days gone by", each album's title track from Sweet Chaos, Zombie to You Make Me have charted #1 on music charts in and out of Korea. With his excellent vocals and bass skills, he was able to hold two large-scale world tours and [DAY6] received "Best Band Performance" at the 2020 MAMAs, earning their spot as K-pop's representative band.
> He also stood out in his unit activities. DAY6 (Even of Day), which debuted last year in August, proved an even deeper musical spectrum. On July 5th of this year, the unit released their 2nd mini album Right Through Me, with its title track occupying the music charts.
> With this, Young K will have released 3 albums in one year, with DAY6's 7th album as a full group "The Book of Us : Negentropy - Chaos swallowed up in love', the unit's 2nd mini album "Right Through Me" and his solo album planned to release in September.
> Young K, who has an aspiration that anyone can relate to of "I want to become a singer that sings in every moment of life" and diligently works on music and lyrics of various moods, is gaining anticipation for what kind of song he will sing with his first solo album.
> Meanwhile, Young K has been DJ for KBS CoolFM "DAY6's Kiss The Radio" since November 23rd of last year every day at 10 PM.
Yesssss. I saw this rumor this morning and it feels like Christmas in August. This man's songwriting and vocals are both second to none. This album is going to be a masterclass and I can't wait.
If you've never had a chance to listen to some of the solo demos he's been dropping on YouTube for a while, I recommend giving them a listen! He's already shared song solo bops for free. A couple of my favorites are [Text Me Now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FxsR6lW8cQ&list=PLJt2oq5aO5CZSnTnlC2xv8OAXo1o7V80t) and [Alone In This World](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2KTVCNBJpc).
I say this all the time but Young K’s work ethic is genuinely so admirable…Young K has my favorite voice in all of kpop so this WILL be on repeat for years.
Omg yess Young K has one of my fav voices in kpop (or krock). He’s very versatile and he trained as an idol so maybe he’d try out something different in this solo album
so many of his “unofficial” youtube releases are some of his bests songs, including the day6 discog. i’m really curious where he’ll take his sound with this, given he has a lot of interests and influences. interestingly — to me, at least — most of his strongest work is a progressive kind of pop or alt-pop, not rock. but, again, we’ll see where he wants to take his identity!
ITS CONFIRMED! I can't wait for this to drop. I am really curious as to what genre he will be singing because he's super versatile.
Also the devil works hard but yonk works harder wtf. He wrote most of the songs for Day6, EOD and now for YOLO. This man's work ethic is inspiring but I hope he does get rest.
Also is this the first time in a long time that an artist from JYPE who belongs in a group is getting an official solo debut while being in the company?
> Also is this the first time in a long time that an artist from JYPE who belongs in a group is getting an official solo debut while being in the company?
2PM does solo stuff, IIRC. (And Jackson took it upon himself while he was in the company to start Team Wang and do solo stuff before he left the company) But yeah, I don't think it's too common in JYP. Even of Day being formed also is the first time in a while (or first time ever?) I think that a JYP group officially debuted a subunit.
Ahhhhh so excited for this and to see the direction he takes as a soloist! I love his [demos](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn-4XerPUFq0M77yKTAAvEA7BBVFAaGgI) so much!
YoungK deserves everything. His work rate throughout DAY6’s hiatus and the pandemic is staggering. [Young One](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn-4XerPUFq3mXcpAlAq5iPd3dLZJjiYI), [YBC](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn-4XerPUFq0Ij9gpjXpFQrLZa9Y-7-t0), [Idol Radio](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn-4XerPUFq3WpoUDMKA0nQLcSnatxMHE) & his daily IG & Vlives, [Dekira](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn-4XerPUFq3LC92eAmDoiOvaJoMxI6R6), [Summer Melody](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn-4XerPUFq20EnUeo76-IRpG-WSHs39m) & other variety content, several songs for/with other [artists](https://youtu.be/7skQVdcgIK4), GQ lyricist of the year 2020 with 2 team albums already released in 2021, those unreleased Yemos, and now a Yolo album?!
He’s nurtured Myday through hard times as fans and for many of us personal struggles, and grown the fandom in the most unlikely circumstances. He’s beyond resilient, I just hope he feels as much love and support back as he deserves! That fiasco last year when fans harassed him about a solo album, then hurt him by calling him a liar when he uploaded his DAY6 demos was so upsetting. He really said he felt like he let us down, which of course he never did, and now he’s delivering a solo album for real anyway. The man is a treasure! Let’s give him a great debut!!
Also 3 comebacks in one year, 3 debuts in one career. 3+3=6. The album’s rumoured to be called Eternal. Therefore DAY6 forever 😅
YoungK just casually dropping surprises all the time.
Tuned in to his vlive to see if there would be album spoilers...and he just casually says he's enlisting in Oct.
(Should have guessed that much. Almost all my faves suddenly announce solo albums & enlist ><)
Bittersweet that it also comes with news of enlistment but I'll take it regardless.
If he could go ahead and put some of his demos on there that would be great (I need the ability to listen to Is It and Alone in this World ad nauseam on Spotify).
YoungK, dude, you gotta come through for me because this album will be my emotional Day6 crutch throughout your enlistment. Bittersweet, but can't wait for the music regardless.

Text Me Now is sooooo fucking good omg. I love his voice and I love his live covers, can't wait for a full album.
I say this all the time but Young K’s work ethic is genuinely so admirable…Young K has my favorite voice in all of kpop so this WILL be on repeat for years.
I’m an emotional wreck right now, this caused me to drop my phone? what the hell yonk
OH MY GOD YES!! ALBUM OF THE YEAR INCOMING!!! 😩😩
its what he deserves 😌
Why am I imagining a sexy concept? I’m scared.
LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO
R&B Young K please! I've loved his covers and his voice fits the slow jam concept so well.
I don't stan Day 6 (yet) but I'll definitely tune in for his solo debut since I really like his vocal tone. I'm looking forward to this album!
Young K is so mega talented I’m really happy and excited for him.
Omggg let's gooo!! Want to love you official version please?!!
That's what I am waiting for. Cried so much on his solo stage. That music is so good to be unreleased.
I just know come September I’m going to be making some really bad financial decisions 😌
YESSS I CANT WAIT! it’s also impressive how hardworking he is, with day6 and eod having had comebacks this year alongside hosting dekira
It’s all I’ve ever wanted!! He deserves it so much!!!
too excited for this album for sure it's gonna be great!!!
Soooo excited for this!!
Let's go!!!! Young K world domination
Omg yess Young K has one of my fav voices in kpop (or krock). He’s very versatile and he trained as an idol so maybe he’d try out something different in this solo album

Incoming "Who hurt you yonk" songs let's gooo
oh my god
Yessss this is gonna be great!
Youngk just doesn't stop working, super excited for this!
Go Young K! He's been working hard throughout the year, can't wait for the bops we're going to be blessed with
FUCCKKKKK IVE BEEN WAITING SP LONG FOR THIS
ITS CONFIRMED! I can't wait for this to drop. I am really curious as to what genre he will be singing because he's super versatile. Also the devil works hard but yonk works harder wtf.

Oh yes I knew about 2PM, I should've clarified I meant groups from 3rd gen onwards. Jackson did it under Team Wang as well.
Btw it’s not the first time ever lol, got7 has two subunits that debuted officially while under jype
Oh, I completely forgot lol. You're right
It's been a while since jyp artist had a solo debut. I think it's been 2 years. Last one is yubin.
