DAY6 will hold a year-end concert with all four members present, a first in four years, according to a local media report on Tuesday.
Label JYP Entertainment confirmed the news uploading a poster for its concert -- dubbed “The Present: You Are My Day” -- that will be held in Seoul from Dec. 22-24. “My Day” is the name of its official fandom community.
It will be the first full-group effort since the bandmates completed their respective military duties. Wonpil was the last one to do so, being discharged on Monday as the first idol to serve in the Navy.
Separately, the management firm announced in September that every member of the band had renewed their contracts with the company.

Louis of Kingdom will take a break for the time being due to health reasons, said GF Entertainment on Tuesday.
He will be absent from the band’s activities to promote seventh EP “History of Kingdom: Pt. 7. Jahan” in Japan next month. The agency apologized to fans in the country on his behalf. He has toiled away although he has been feeling unwell, but eventually suspended activities on Nov. 20.

The band is set to begin its Japan promotion from mid-December.
