Netizens are celebrating DAY6's historic Daesang win, marking a major milestone nine years after their debut.

On an online forum, fans expressed their joy over the JYP boy band's victory at the '2024 KGMA.' Among the evening’s honorees, DAY6 took home the prestigious Daesang, officially titled the 'Grand Performer Award.'

During their heartfelt acceptance speech, leader Sungjin reflected on the significance of the moment, saying: "I wonder if we have ever received so many awards like this as a group. So much so that we've received as many as three awards tonight. We are therefore truly grateful. Also, to My Day, (speaking informally) we won three awards thanks to y'all! Thank you so much."

DAY6 delivered a stellar performance during the ceremony, featuring an electrifying live rendition of "Welcome To The Show," complete with an intro performance, followed by "Melt Down."

Fans and netizens alike praised the group’s resilience and hard work throughout their nine-year journey. Debuting in September 2015 with their first mini album, 'The Day,' DAY6 began as a six-member group and faced various internal challenges and lineup changes. Despite the ups and downs, they gained significant recognition starting in 2020. Today, many of their songs have climbed the charts, cementing their place in the K-pop industry.

With hits like "You Were Beautiful" and "Time Of Our Life," the band has garnered widespread public admiration and respect among peers. Their sold-out concerts and consistent success reflect their remarkable growth and dedication.
