BOYNEXTDOOR will be collaborating with Warner Bros.‘ popular animation characters, ’Tom and Jerry‘.

BOYNEXTDOOR (Seongho, Liu, Myungjaehyun, Taesan, Leehan, Unhak) were invited to the ’Tom and Jerry‘ 85th anniversary event held at the Warner Bros. headquarters in Japan on the 10th. They attended the event despite being busy with their first solo tour, ’BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR ‘KNOCK ON Vol. 1‘, currently underway locally, and brightened up the event.

On that day, BOYNEXTDOOR caught everyone’s attention by making a surprise announcement in front of numerous reporters that they would be releasing a special collaboration song later this year. They said, “We will release a song that goes well with the 85th anniversary of ‘Tom and Jerry’” and “We will happily participate in the commemorative work of ‘Tom and Jerry’.” On this day, Boynextdoor showed interest in launching items utilizing the characters in addition to the collaborative song, raising curiosity about their future activities.

‘Tom and Jerry’ is a popular animation by Warner Bros. that first aired in 1940 and is still loved to this day.

This surprise collaboration was possible thanks to Boynextdoor‘s popularity in the local area. In addition to releasing their debut single ‘AND,’ in Japan last year, they have significantly increased their awareness by appearing at various large-scale festivals and gracing the covers of popular magazines. Their digital single ‘Only Today I LOVE YOU’, released last month, was also very popular there. This song entered the Japanese Spotify ‘Daily Viral Song’ at #1 (as of January 20th) and has maintained its position in the upper ranks as of February 8th. In addition, both ‘Today Only I LOVE YOU’ and the Japanese version of this song ‘今日だけ I LOVE YOU (Japanese Ver.)’ (Kyo-dake Ai Love You) charted on the Japanese Spotify ‘Daily Top Song’ (as of February 8th).

Meanwhile, BOYNEXTDOOR will continue their solo tour ‘BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR ‘KNOCK ON Vol. 1’’ in Japan. After successfully completing the Tokyo, Aichi, and Osaka concerts following Incheon, they plan to hold concerts in Miyagi, Fukuoka, and Kanagawa.
