Young K

Kang Young Hyun, or better known under the monikers Young K or Brian Kang, is a vocalist and bass guitarist for the JYP boy band DAY6. During his childhood, Young K moved around often and even spent his four years of high school in Toronto, Canada. Due to his time in Canada, Young K speaks fluent English and has many stories of the times he translated conversations between Korean and foreign trainees before his debut.

Before joining JYP, Young K was a member of a musical trio in Toronto and he and one of his band members were scouted by JYP in 2010. After joining JYP, Young K trained to be part of a dance group alongside fellow DAY6 member, Wonpil. However, the two ended up making a soft debut as part of the band 5LIVE in 2014 before reforming as DAY6 in 2015.

Despite debuting under the stage name "Young K," most fans call him "Brian," which he used to complain about, however, he has since given up.

During his trainee days, Young K used to be roommates with Stray Kids' leader, Bang Chan. He also once told a trainee story of how he once hilariously translated an argument between GOT7's Mark and B.A.P's Yoo Youngjae while they were all trainees at JYP.

Unlike his other members, Young K is credited as a lyricist and producer in almost every DAY6 song.
