K-pop band DAY6 will make its silver screen debut with the music road movie “6DAYS,” which will premiere across CGV theaters in Korea on Aug. 13.

The cinematic project, which has drawn enthusiastic attention since news of its production surfaced, follows the DAY6 members on a spontaneous road trip, capturing a side of the band that fans haven’t seen on stage.

On Wednesday, the main trailer was unveiled, offering a glimpse of the film’s emotional tone and candid moments.

The trailer opens with the group’s sleeper hit “Time of Our Life,” long cherished by fans as a life-defining anthem, as the members set out on an unplanned journey.

“I want to try things we’ve never done before,” says Wonpil, to which Sungjin replies, “There must be more fun out there. We’re DAY6, after all,” teasing the band’s spirit of curiosity and camaraderie.

The footage continues with scenes of each member enjoying their vacation as carefree young adults.

The story hints at unexpected twists in their adventure when Dowoon suddenly exclaims, “Isn’t that our car?” Young K adds, “If we miss this, we’re missing something huge in life,” heightening anticipation for the full journey.

The movie “6DAYS” promises a fresh perspective on DAY6, one that captures their artistry, personalities and bond in a more intimate format.

The film will also be shown in special formats including SCREENX, which offers a panoramic view of live performances, and 4DX, which delivers immersive motion effects to simulate the feel of a road trip. The movie opens in CGV theaters nationwide on Aug. 13.
