Boynextdoor (BOYNEXTDOOR), who have achieved a 'career high' in each activity and are emerging as the hottest team these days, is one day away from their comeback. Big attention is focused on the music and stage they will present through their mini album 'No Genre', set to be released tomorrow, 13th, at 6 p.m.
The aspirations of Boynextdoor (Seong-ho, Riu, Myung-jae-hyun, Tae-san, Lee-han, Un-hak) are fully reflected in the album title. The six members' free-spirited charm is anticipated as they aim to express their emotions through music, transcending the boundaries and limits of a genre.
# A diverse musical spectrum that breaks the mold
Expectations are high for Boynextdoor’s expanded musical spectrum. The album contains a total of seven tracks, including the title song 'I Feel Good', which exudes dynamic energy reminiscent of a 'rock star', the romantic '123-78' with a 1960s pop soul sound, the charming city pop vibe of 'Step By Step', the funky rhythm of 'Play Around?', and the pop track 'Next Mistake' based on house genre.
Not only are their vocal, rap, and performance skills impressive, but their active participation in their own songs is a core requirement for talented artists. Members Myung-jae-hyun, Tae-san, and Un-hak once again earned credits in the new album. Their continuous attempts to present everyday emotions in their unique style through original music are noteworthy.
# 'Lifestyle-centered music', the pleasant title track 'I Feel Good'
Boynextdoor's so-called 'lifestyle-centered music' continues this time as well. Some lyrics of the title track 'I Feel Good', which were previewed earlier, have piqued fans' curiosity. Lines like "frowning" and "crazy from the collision" are impressive with their straightforwardness. It's Boynextdoor's unique way of resonating with the public by incorporating their feelings and stories into music.
Their ability to express this on stage is another strength of Boynextdoor. Since their debut, they have consistently used handheld microphones, maximizing emotional communication with fans while showcasing excellent live performance skills. Boynextdoor shared a snippet of the 'I Feel Good' chorus at the 'KCON JAPAN 2025' event held at Makuhari Messe in Tokyo on the 10th, saying, "I guarantee that this album feels amazing. We will return with a fantastic stage, so please show us lots of love."
# Achieving million-selling album and topping music charts… continuing the upward trend
Boynextdoor has consistently drawn an upward growth curve. Their first mini album 'WHY..' sold 302,203 copies on its first day of release (according to Hanteo Chart), followed by 390,709 copies for the second mini album 'HOW?' and 609,666 copies for the third mini album '19.99', showing a steep upward trend. Notably, '19.99' achieved its first million-selling status (according to YG PLUS tally on Oct. 16, 2024) and entered the top 40 of the U.S. Billboard main album chart 'Billboard 200', marking a 'career high'.
This momentum continued with the digital single 'I LOVE YOU Just for Today' released in January. 'I LOVE YOU Just for Today' ranked 4th on Melon 'Top 100' the day after its release and achieved 7th place in the monthly chart for February. In Korean Apple Music 'Today's Top 100', it maintained the top spot for 37 days straight from January 9 to February 14. The results Boynextdoor will achieve with their mini album 'No Genre' are highly anticipated.
