DAY6 member Dowoon gave viewers an intimate look into his off-stage life on the December 5, 2025, broadcast of MBC’s popular Korean variety show, “I Live Alone.” The episode highlighted the stark contrast between his simple, everyday activities at home and his intense dedication as a professional K-pop drummer.

A Morning at Home with DAY6 Dowoon

The segment began at Dowoon’s home, where he attempted to make an “American breakfast.” His unique take involved thinly sliced pork belly and eggs, which drew commentary from the show’s panelists, including CODE KUNST and Kian84. Although the final dish didn’t look as expected, Dowoon declared it tasty. He demonstrated a meticulous side by cleaning up immediately to keep his new home spotless.

The Passionate K-pop Drummer

The episode then shifted to showcase the professional life of DAY6’s powerful drummer. Dowoon traveled to his band master’s house, which doubles as a practice studio, ready to hone his craft. His dedication to his music was evident throughout the segment.

Mastering the Craft with Expert Help

After warming up with basic exercises, Dowoon was joined by veteran drummer Jeon Dae-jeong. Dowoon admitted that tuning drums is a complex task he has struggled with in the past. Jeon Dae-jeong guided him through the process, helping change the drumhead and meticulously tuning the entire set, revealing the technical detail that goes into being a top-tier musician.

An Intense Rehearsal for the Stage

With his drums perfectly tuned, Dowoon launched into an intense practice session that lasted for over an hour. The show’s panelists were in awe of his stamina. Panelist Jun HyunMoo noted that this level of energy is maintained for nearly two and a half hours during DAY6 concerts. Dowoon later confessed to Park NaRae that he often “collapses” after performances, underscoring his complete commitment.

A Relaxing Evening with Friends

Later, Dowoon headed out to Itaewon, sparking speculation among the “I Live Alone” cast that he was going for a beauty treatment. He humorously clarified that he already has eyebrow tattoos. His actual destination was a cozy jazz bar, where he met up with friends Jeong Sol, a percussionist and his senior from the military, and a guitarist named Wonseok, ending his day surrounded by music and camaraderie.
