Finally, what MyDays have been waiting for this entire time.
DAY6’s keyboardist, synthesist, and vocalist Kim Wonpil was revealed to be in preparations for his solo album and debut in early 2022. This had been reported by South Korean media outlets and insider reports on December 8, 2021.
While this is yet to be confirmed by JYP Entertainment, MyDays are nevertheless happy for Wonpil’s solo artist debut. Once confirmed, this marks the 3rd DAY6 member to release something solo—following YoungK with his mini album “Eternal” and Dowoon’s solo single “Out of the Blue”.
MyDays were shocked and elated over the news, as they know that even though Wonpil is hush hush about his solo activities, he never fails to let fans know that he is doing well and working hard in the job that he loves. Other DAY6 members are also slated to fill their fans’ days with content, so they would still feel their presence even if 2 members are currently in the military—with YoungK’s “YoungOne S3”, Eaj’s solo album and Twitch streaming, and Dowoon’s participation in variety shows.
According to this article, Wonpil is working on his first solo album with the goal of making a solo debut in early 2022. https://t.co/iJ9oeec8kS pic.twitter.com/GSnLODk709

wonpil is really so selfless. he has been working so hard in silence. never voiced out his struggles in case it makes mydays worry. instead, he's always reassuring us and will not hesitate to promote his members' projects before his own☹️ he loves us and day6 so much🥲 pic.twitter.com/47Y8i90qtH
