The Boyz‘s New and Eric graced the cover of the January issue of ‘Man Noblesse’.

The introverted New and the extroverted Eric were clearly differentiated from each other during the photoshoot. Eric said, “Honestly, I thought, ’What is this combination?‘ It’s the first time the two of us have shot together, so I was curious to see what kind of picture it would come out of.”

New said, “Come to think of it, it‘s a meeting of extremes of I and E,” and showed his affection for the Boyz members, saying, “I think we would have had good chemistry with any of the members.”

Regarding the transfer of The Boyz members to the global producing company 100 earlier this month, Eric said, “Honestly, I’ve never once thought that The Boyz had a seven-year shelf life. That belief was certain,” he said, expressing his strong trust in his team.

Recently, The Boyz revealed a new profile photo, and Eric said, “My exact feeling was ‘overwhelmed.’ I was even more touched when I saw The B’s reaction. In fact, no one knows which direction The Boyz will go in: east, west, north, south. Whether it’s the right path or the wrong path. Just being able to continue walking under the name The Boyz is meaningful enough. I’m even more thankful that we have The B (The Boyz fandom name) by our side,” he said, expressing his gratitude to The B for always being with The Boyz.

When asked what he hopes The Boyz’s next chapter will be, New said, “I’m someone who originally had a huge fear of new things,” and added, “But the newness we’re facing now is different. “Right now, I’m the most excited I’ve ever been in my life,” he said, expressing his anticipation for the new start.

The Boyz is continuing to meet with fans through various content, such as revealing new profile photos, logo motions, and opening the fandom platform ‘fromm’.
