Rock band DAY6 has renewed their contracts with JYP Entertainment for the second time, the agency confirmed on September 5, 2025, just days before the group’s momentous 10-year debut anniversary.
All four current members—Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon—participated in the renewal, which comes three years after their first contract extension in 2022.
JYP Entertainment released a statement emphasizing the “foundation of longtime trust” that led to this decision, pledging “ongoing support and encouragement” for the band’s future activities.
The mutual trust between DAY6 and JYP has fostered a partnership focused on nurturing their artistic vision for years to come.
The timing of the announcement holds particular significance as it coincides with DAY6’s decade milestone in the industry, having first debuted in September 2015.
This renewal stands out in an industry often characterized by contract disputes and group disbandments, reflecting a stable artist-agency relationship that has weathered the evolving challenges of the music business.
The four-member lineup has maintained remarkable stability throughout most of their career, contributing to their consistent fanbase support and distinct brand identity within the K-pop landscape.
Following the contract renewal announcement, DAY6 immediately released their commemorative full-length album “The DECADE,” featuring ten tracks symbolizing their journey.
New singles including “Bus of Dreams” and “INSIDE OUT” showcase the band’s musical evolution while honoring their decade-spanning career.
Fans, officially known as “My Day,” responded enthusiastically to both the renewal news and comeback activities.
The positive reception to teasers and music videos demonstrates the strong artist-agency-fan triangle that has bolstered DAY6’s position in the industry.
As a band rather than a traditional idol group, DAY6 occupies a distinctive niche in K-pop.
Their renewed commitment to JYP Entertainment signals preparedness for future projects and promotions, with the agency positioning this relationship as a partnership built on mutual respect.
Beyond their group activities, the members have strategically built diverse income streams by licensing their music for commercials and TV shows in South Korea and Japan.
The band has successfully leveraged social media advertising to maintain engagement with their international fanbase during periods between album releases.
With this second renewal secured, DAY6 appears poised to extend their legacy well beyond their first decade in the industry.
The group’s upcoming fourth studio album follows their last release The Book of Us: Entropy from October 2019, marking a significant return after nearly six years.
The band’s member Wonpil has also been expanding his career into acting, currently appearing in the drama Best Mistake 3 which fans can watch with subtitles.
