Out & About #389 | DAY6 at Toronto Pearson Airport

10/28/2017

 
The final stop of DAY6's North American tour was finally happening; LA, Austin, New York, and Detroit had been blessed with their presence, and now it was time for the only Canadian leg of their 5-city Meet-and-Greet to take place.

I didn't think I would have been as lucky as previously with my ultimate bias group, but I was determined nonetheless. Attending a concert for the very first time under the identity of a balcony-viewer was a first for me, and instinct prompted me to try my chances at Pearson without a single update from the Detroit side.
Picture
I arrived much too early as there remained not a single update across the border even past 1 PM. I impatiently waited at Terminal 1 for eons (about 2:30 pm to 4:45 pm), and then moved to Terminal 3 to wait for the next incoming flight from Detroit.
In the meantime, I met two lovely girls who had staked the venue from 10 AM onward - what tremendous endurance! - and didn't mind guiding me to the exact waiting location.

​The small group of persistent MyDays and I FINALLY caught glimpses of YoungK's camcorder from behind the doors approximately 40-45 mins after their flight was slated to land.
Picture
​Emerging from the doors were the members, as well as their accompanying manager(s), SubK staff, and stylist, in the following order: YoungK, Jae, Sungjin, Wonpil, Dowoon

​Brian was dressed sleekly in a burgundy turtleneck, fitted trousers, thin black bomber jacket, and minimal accessories. He had not a hood, mask, nor cap. He was all smiles as he filmed the crowd desperately awaiting their arrival and did not stop smiling the entire time the group was exiting the arrival gates.
Picture
​Jae wore an oversized grey hoodie (hood up), lense-less glasses with plastic frames, and his trademark mismatched slip-ons. He appeared haggard overall, though the flight from DTW had been merely an hour. Another girl also caught him yawning. (My assumption is that he was gaming into the wee hours from hints on his social media stream.
Picture
Wonpil was barely recognizable in both a mask and cap. His head was bowed down for majority of the trek and did not seem particularly eager to cast glances in our way nor interact with us. The only ways of determining his identity were peeks at his eyes and the tour hoodie he donned.

​Sungjin donned a black mask, structured black backpack, and simple college-style attire: solid-hued cardigan and straigh leg trousers. He appeared drowsy, with his eyes partially open for the trek.

Dowoon wore a white mask but no cap. His hair was in shiny coils that lined his forehead, just covering his eyes from time to time. Though the older members had simply strode off before him, he did not seem to mind. The manager walked alongside Sungjin, while a stout lady walked behind Dowoon. This said lady was downright rude in enforcing her duties; instead of heeding us to make room, she merely yelled nonsensical phrases (presumably Korean that I could not make out) while pushing the luggage cases at our legs. Thank goodness for steel-toed boots!

​Brian exited the gates while walking at a constant speed, though at some point along their egress path, Jae, while still in a daze, requested them to stop walking. The other members caught up to the Canadian-American duo soon after; Dowoon was following far behind.

​The members walked towards their van with brisk steps, with only Brian pausing momentarily and beaming at us, the ones who had anticipated seeing their faces for such prolonged periods of time. He was the first to embark the van, though did not forget to wave once he was seated inside.
​Wonpil swiftly weaved himself around the crowd, around the pillars, and dove into the van without casting a second look. Jae was next to embark and sat on the traffic-bound side of the van - he did not bother looking in our direction either once he was settled.
Picture
The staff appeared confused at one point as Dowoon had been left behind. While the manager found himself nestled between us, Dowoon took to looping around the front of the van, making a sneaky entrance.
Picture
Picture
The doors of the van slid shut once all members had found themselves seated. The tinted windows made it hard for many of us to pinpoint the seating arrangements, but it was clear that one of them waved in our direction as they pulled away.
Picture
Bottom line(s):
​

- Brian is really, really handsome.
- Jae is tall and dresses for the airport as your standard North American would (ie. similar to Mark). He is also thinner and lankier than I expected.
- Wonpil is as quiet as other concert-goers had stated. This could be interpreted as rudeness, though I believe he is a generally quiet person.
- Sungjin appeared average in all aspects, besides the fact that he is the leader of the band: he was of average height and not particularly thick or thin. His facial expression was a constant daze for the duration of the entire trek.
- Dowoon is, candidly speaking, truly beautiful. The middle part-perm combo is highly unlikely to look as stunning on him as any other average mortal. He combines masculinity with a strong dose cuteness embedded between. His expressions were neither of worry nor concern, and quite neutral overall. However, there were no negative vibes to be felt from the fluffy specimen.

​Sustenance in the form of a pre-packaged Starbucks sandwich and odd-tasting Zombie Frappuccinno were secured immediately following the expedition in fear of limbs giving way to hunger.
