The comeback of BOYNEXTDOOR, the hottest group these days, is just one day away.There is a lot of interest in the music and performance they will present through their 4th mini album ‘No Genre’, which will be released on the 13th at 6PM.

The ambition of Boynextdoor(Sungho, Liu, Myungjaehyun, Taesan, Leehan, Unhak)is completely reflected in the album title.The free-spirited charm of the six members, who want to overcome the frame and limitations of ‘genre’ and express their current emotions through music, is foreshadowed.

# A colorful, unconventional music spectrum

Boynextdoor’s expanded musical spectrum is highly anticipated.The album contains a total of 7 tracks, including the title song’ I Feel Good ‘that lets you feel the dynamic energy of a’ Pop star ‘,’ 123-78 ‘with a romantic 1960s pop Soul sound,’ Step By Step ‘with an attractive city pop atmosphere,’ Are You Kidding? ‘with a funky rhythm, and’ Next Mistake ‘, a pop song based on the house genre.

In addition to vocal, rap, and performance skills, the musical ability to directly participate in their own songs is a key condition for a talented artist.Members Myung Jae-hyun, Taesan, and Unhak have once again been listed on the new album credits.These artists, who have an outstanding sense of interpreting everyday emotions with Boynextdoor’s unique colors and presenting them as unique music, are continuing their new attempts.

# ‘Life-friendly music’, a title song with a good feel’ I Feel Good ‘

The so-called’ life-oriented music ‘that has become Boynextdoor’s specialty continues this time.Some of the lyrics of the title song’ I Feel Good ‘, which were revealed earlier, have already piqued the curiosity of fans.The straightforward lyrics such as “making you frown” and “making you go crazy when you bump into something” are impressive.It is Boynextdoor’s unique way of speaking that draws sympathy from the public by putting their own emotions and stories into music.

The ability to express this on stage is also Boynextdoor’s strength.Having consistently used hand mics since their debut, they not only show excellent live skills, but also communicate more intimately with fans and maximize emotional connection.At ‘KCON JAPAN 2025’ held at Makuhari Messe in Tokyo on the 10th, Boynextdoor performed a verse of the chorus of’ I Feel Good ‘and said, “I guarantee you, this album is no joke.We will be back soon with an awesome stage, so please show us lots of love.”

# Album sells a million copies and tops music charts… Continues to rise

Boynextdoor has been on a growth curve ever since.Their first mini-album’ WHY..’recorded 302,203 copies sold on the first day of its release(based on Hanteo Chart), followed by their second mini-album’ HOW ? ‘with 397,009 copies and their third mini-album’ 19.99 ‘with 609,666 copies sold, showing a steep upward trend.In particular,’ 19.99 ‘achieved its first million-selling record(based on YG PLUS statistics as of October 16, 2024)and entered the Billboard 200, Billboard’s main album chart, at number 40, marking a ‘career high’.

This momentum continued with the digital single “Only Today I LOVE YOU” released in January.”Only Today I LOVE YOU” ranked 4th on Melon’s “Top 100” the day after its release, and 7th on the February monthly chart.As it held the top spot on Korea’s Apple Music’s “Today’s Top 100” for 37 consecutive days from January 9 to February 14, attention is focused on the results they will achieve with their upcoming 4th mini-album “No Genre.”
