History
Pre-debut: K-pop Star, 5LIVE
Since 2013 Jae dated two girls named Karenn & Rachel and still loves both of them. In 2010, Young K was active under the name Brian Kang as part of a three-member group in Toronto, Canada. Along with members Terry He and Don Lee, he performed at several local stages and has several covers up on Terry He's channel. Along with Don Lee, Young K was contacted by JYP and then auditioned, and then accepted to be trainees. Don Lee later left JYP to pursue medical studies.
In 2012, Jaehyung competed on the first season of SBS K-pop Star. Though he finished in sixth place in the competition overall, he later signed an exclusive contract with JYP Entertainment alongside the season's winner, Park Ji-min, and third-place finisher, Baek A-yeon.[1][2]
JYP Entertainment initially announced the group as a five-member group called 5LIVE, comprised of member Sungjin, Jaehyung, Young K, Junhyeok, and Wonpil. The group began promotions as 5LIVE in 2014, appearing on the 4th episode of Mnet's reality-survival program Who is Next: WIN and releasing a song titled "Lovely Girl" for the Pretty Man OST.[3]
In mid-2015, Dowoon was added to the group to form DAY6.[4] In preparation for their debut, DAY6 performed a series of promotional concerts at live clubs across Seoul.[5][6]
