The energy soared as DAY6 followed up with "Better Better" and "Healer," reminding fans why they are the “healers” of their lives. During "Time of Our Life," a celebration of youthful memories, rainbow confetti filled the air, perfectly complementing the upbeat mood and the tour’s theme: Forever Young.

During the first ment session, the band expressed their excitement about being back in Singapore, and the fans’ energy showed the feeling was mutual.

DAY6 then performed "She Smiled" from their latest album BAND AID and the soulful "How To Love." The crowd swayed along as confetti rained down during "Pouring," a thoughtful touch that mirrored the song’s lyrics.

The emotional peak of the night came during fan-favorites "You Were Beautiful," "I Loved You," "Letting Go (Rebooted Ver)," and "Congratulations."

Adding humor to the night, DAY6’s attempts at Singlish – with words like “shiok” and “really meh” – left fans chuckling, especially when Young K asked, “Why aren’t you reacting to Dowoon saying ‘shiok’ so many times?”
