Band group DAY6 won two awards at the 1st ‘The Awards’, including the ‘Delight Blue Label’ and ‘Best Band’.

The ‘The Awards with Upick’, held at 6 PM on the 22nd at the Hwajeong Gymnasium of Korea University in Anam-dong, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, was a K-pop awards ceremony hosted by Sports Donga and organized by ‘Upick’ and WSM, and was hosted by actors Go Min-si and Lee Jong-won.

DAY6, currently on their third world tour, expressed their gratitude through a video, saying, “We will continue to work hard to impress you with DAY6‘s own unique style in the future.

DAY6, which debuted in 2015, created a ‘K-pop band craze’ both domestically and internationally, with past releases like ‘You Were Pretty’ belatedly climbing back up the charts during the members’ hiatus due to military service.

Meanwhile, ‘The Awards Black Label’ awarded seven titles of the year, including the grand prize, and awards that have had meaningful achievements in the growth and revival of K-pop. The ‘D AWARDS ICONIC’ is awarded to a group or member that has received the award, and is given to only eight categories.

The seven grand prizes ‘Title of the Year’ are Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Performance of the Year, Trend of the Year, and Newcomer of the Year.

‘BLUE LABEL’ is given to the BEST category, a sub-award category, starting with ‘D AWARDS DELIGHTS, which is the ‘central’ main prize of the awards ceremony.
