He trained with the company for the next four years, and was mostly out of the spotlight. In 2014, it was announced that he would become a part of a five-member band called 5LIVE, and promotions for the group began.

They appeared in the program “Who is Next: Win”, and recorded a song for the soundtrack of the show “Bel Ami”. He, Sungjin, Junhyeok, Young K, and J were then joined by drummer Dowoon, changing the name of the group to Day6.

Success with Day6

In 2015, Day6 released their debut extended play (EP) called “The Day” which reached second spot on the Billboard World Album Chart. They held their first live concert shortly afterwards, and had their first trip abroad with a fan meeting held in Singapore.

The following year, Junhyeok left the group for personal reasons but the remaining five continued to work together, and released their second EP called “Daydream”, then made their music show debut in “M Countdown”.

Later in the year, the band announced that they would be starting a monthly project called “Every DAY6”, which would see them release two songs monthly for the next year, with some exceptions. Some of the singles they released included “I Wait”, “Goodbye Winter”, and ‘How Can I Say”.

They promoted their new releases on “M Countdown”, and released their first full-length album called “Sunrise”. They toured the US, and then concluded their monthly releases with their second full album called “Moonrise”, which had the lead single “I Like You”.
