On Saturday, May 3, 2025, DAY6 held a concert in Jakarta, Indonesia, as part of their Forever Young World Tour. The event was scheduled to take place at the Jakarta International Stadium and was organized by Mecima Pro. However, around March, it was announced that the venue would be changed to Gelora Bung Karno Madya Stadium because of a clash that was happening due to a football match at the same venue.

The announcement also revealed that the new venue would be an open stadium, and there were also changes in the seating arrangement, which affected the ticketing charges. Following the announcement, many fans and netizens were concerned about the concert as Jakarta is known for its frequent and severe weather conditions, which are not suitable for open stadiums.
Additionally, the announcement also stated that no sort of refund would be provided for the attendees, which further angered fans, as many deemed the venue change to be inconvenient. On the day of the concert, the venue was hit with a heavy rainfall, leaving the attendees drenched in the rain, with thunderstorms and strong winds.
While many tried to take cover under tents provided by the organizers, the tents also soon gave up due to the uncontrollable weather. Therefore, many fans protested outside the concert venue, expressing their displeasure with the turn of events. They also demanded a refund since fans had to experience the poor conditions due to the organizer's lack of proper planning and management.
At the concert, people expressed that the DAY6 members were also frustrated by the turn of events. Several fan-taken videos and pictures of the band members showcased them apologizing to the crowd and also arguing with the organizers' staff members for the poor condition of the venue. Here are a few fan reactions regarding the same:
"INTERNATIONAL MYDAYS WANTED TO GO TO THIS ADDITIONAL SHOW BECAUSE MECIMA CLAIMED IT WAS DAY6’s FIRST STADIUM CONCERT AND AN ENCORE! WHAT A SCAM," a fan wrote on X.
"They are a lot. They didnt come in to the venue not bcs they can not make it. But they wont do it. They're trapped by the promotor refund system that stuck, and didnt get their money back. They have pride, the CHOOSE to not be fooled by the promotor again!!" said a fan on X.
"Look at MyDays outside the stadium who still haven’t gotten their concert ticket refunds. We’ve been protesting for a long time, but y’all @day6official @jypnation act like you don’t hear us!" added another fan.
"This is not the first time we have been treated unfairly like this. There are no consequences at all for the promoter who keeps disappointing us, and once again, we are the ones who suffer," commented a netizen.
More fans and netizens showcased their frustration and disappointment in the venue changes for DAY6's Jakarta concert.
"i cant stand the members being confused, crying, apologetic like this when promotor didn’t give proper treatment for both artist and fans," stated a fan.
"this mustve been exhausting mentally and physically to everyone involved (not u melani babi) i hope everyone get their well deserved rest and i hope day6 know that this protest isnt for them," added an X user.
"Respect to all Myday for their solidarity and movement. Can't wait for @mecimapro's downfall, for real," said a netizen.
"HEAR MY DAY VOICES! CHOOSE REPUTABLE LOCAL PROMOTER FOR BETTER FUTURE CONCERT!" commented another X user.
