K-pop-rock band DAY6, under Big 3 company JYP Entertainment, has been making a name for itself with its organic rock-sound since its debut in 2015. With their latest comeback "Shoot Me" last month gaining them a considerable amount of new fans and an ongoing world tour, it's about time people should start learning more about the band. Here are some reasons why you should stan DAY6.

1. All of their members sing so well.
And so distinctly as well. Before I knew much about the members, I could easily pick out who was singing at what time in any DAY6 song. While drummer Dowoon has yet to have a vocal part in a DAY6 song, he is taking vocal lessons and has sang at DAY6 concerts in the past. The other four are all incredibly capable of belting out high notes in addition to delving into lower ranges, and the members know each other so well at this point that the parts that they assign to each other are perfect and make the song 100 times better.

2. They self-produce.
All DAY6 members have helped in writing and composing for the songs. Member Young K is considered the group's lyricist, as many DAY6 songs have been solely written by him, but all of the members are involved in writing their lyrics and composition. Talented, indeed! What's admirable is that member Jae has stated that he has never studied music theory in his life, yet he's credited for composing much of DAY6's discography. If anything, DAY6's discography proves that you can do anything if you set your mind to it.

3. They're hilarious.
Call it the perfect marriage between funny fans and a funny group of men, but YouTube is littered with funny videos of the boys getting up to their (un)usual antics as a group. LA-born Jae is known for having his own Twitter account and YouTube vlogging channel, where he constantly jokes around in English. DAY6 inside jokes are also hilarious, whether that be fans (and even the members) calling Dowoon "drum", leader Sungjin "Bob the Builder", or Young K as "Brian" and his ongoing love with all things food.

4. They all play instruments.
Yes, they can sing and play instruments. Members Jae and Sungjin are guitarists, Young K is on bass, Wonpil on keyboard and synthesizer, and Dowoon on drums. They're truly a band, and the energy around is truly electric when they perform live.

5. Pretty much every Korean celebrity loves them.
K-pop idols, new and old, pretty much all love DAY6. Actors, TV personalities, you name it. They're not widely known, but DAY6 has a considerable celebrity cult following. Even if you don't love DAY6, your fave probably does, so you should definitely check them out.

6. They literally have no bad song.
I'm not exaggerating. All of their songs are incredible. While not every song is going to be your cup of tea, they're all composed impeccably well, are sung incredibly well, are written flawlessly, and are perfect matches with the kind of vibe they aim for in all of the above. There is no bad song, so rest assured you will have the guarantee that you will be spending your precious time on something worthwhile when you get into DAY6.

Stan talent, stan DAY6!
