All you need to know about DAY6's recent appearance at IU's Palette

For the latest episode of IU's Palette, the K-pop idol invited the South Korean band DAY6. Palette is a talk show that IU kickstarted in 2020. An ideal episode of her talk show involves two segments, one where she sits down and has fun conversations with her guests and the other where she sings covers and duets with the invited artists.

Often, the guests are artists who recently released a comeback. Therefore, following DAY6's recent release of their single, MELTDOWN, they were invited to Palette for promotional purposes. However, IU also confessed that for the past three years, the band has been on her invitation list, but she couldn't find the right time to call them on show.

"It's been three years since I started Palette. You've always been on the guest list I'd like to have since the very beginning. But soon after (the show's start), you all went to the military."

Additionally, IU also stated that she gained a lot of inspiration from the band and her fans to write the lyrics for her song, I Stan U, from her latest album, The Winning. DAY6 covered the song as part of the show's 'song exchange.' Following the episode, fans have been swooning over the artists' interactions and combined vocals.
