DAY6 revealed their initial earnings. Recently, on the tvN variety show 'You Quiz ON THE BLOCK,' DAY6, who celebrated their 10th anniversary, appeared as a complete group. Song Jin said, 'The initial earnings were 3600 won (about 360 yen). Even though we debuted, there was nothing, so I thought I should make the best effort in the long term. I tried to get work.' Regarding the story that they attended all the broadcasting station's dinners, Song Jin explained, 'I appeared as a radio guest, but when I heard the voice saying 'let's have dinner,' I went unconditionally. I tried to get known somehow. Even so, little by little, things can happen.' Furthermore, Song Jin recalled, 'At that time, Yukgaejang cup noodles were 600 won. I thought it would be nice to eat 6 of them in a month. I wanted to get more pocket money to treat everyone, but I had no money. When I met the writer, I said, 'Since DAY6 is here, please listen to our song once,' and when I appeared on the show, I did everything I could. Even as a guest, I would do it. I lived desperately.' Young K reflected, 'I thought I would become glamorous after debuting at JYP. Glamorous, and I would shoot ads. However, after debuting, only 1 or 2 articles came out. I carried around a JYP shopping bag. I debuted at JYP.'
