Boynextdoor is the only K-pop boy group to be featured in the ‘Carol Campaign’ presented by the global popular music platform Apple Music. Apple Music‘s ‘Classic Carols Covered’ is a series that is presented at the end of each year, matching legendary carols with popular global artists, reinterpreting them, and releasing them in the form of ‘cover songs’.
The carol that Boynextdoor ‘re-dressed up’ in their own style is ‘It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas.’ Released in 1951, it has been remade by numerous pop stars such as Perry Como and Michael Buble.
Regarding the so-called ‘Bonek Version Legendary Carol’ that was introduced to the world through Apple Music, Boynextdoor said, “We chose the song because we thought it would “match the team color the best,” and added, “Hearing the famous song in the members‘ voices felt a new charm.”
