Last year, K-pop rock band DAY6 (데이식스) won over Malaysian fans with their first Malaysian concert at Mega Star Arena. Almost a year after the show, the quartet continues to make headlines among Malaysian fans, with some suspecting that their newest cover drop could have been filmed at last year’s concert venue.
Yesterday (3rd June 2025), DAY6 member YoungK (영케이) posted a short cover of “Close To You” by The Carpenters on their socials. The 48-second cover features a familiar red seat in a dimly lit hall, which eagle-eyed fans have speculated could be the upper seating area of Mega Star Arena.
The observation was made by a local fan via Twitter, who pointed out that the red seats look like those on the upper deck of Mega Star Arena. The fans speculate that the filming of the cover could have taken place in Malaysia during their first concert last year. Fans have also pointed out the similarity of YoungK’s outfit in the cover video to what he wore during the soundcheck session on the show’s second-day performance, which solidified speculations.
Other than the similarity in outfits and hairstyle, other fans have also noticed the familiar green sign, which resembles Malaysia’s exit sign. Twitter user @/day6inifinite comments, “Am I delusional or is this Mega Star Arena and the green exit sign with the YoungK outfit for sound check day 2 in KL?”. The comments section is also filled with fan support for the vocalist’s new cover.
While there’s no confirmation yet, fans are convinced the cover was filmed in our very own city. What are your thoughts?
