BoyNextDoor (; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean boy band formed by KOZ Entertainment in 2023. The group consists of six members: Sungho, Riwoo, Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan, and Woonhak. Characterized by its eponymous boy next door image, the group defines their work as easy listening with a thematic focus on daily life.

BoyNextDoor debuted in 2023 with the single album Who!, which formed the first installment in the First Love trilogy that defined the group's first releases. The extended play (EP) Why.. followed the same year and marked the group's first appearance on the Billboard 200 chart. The group's second EP, How? (2024), became the group's first release to top the Circle Album Chart. The group debuted in Japan later that year through Universal Music Japan with the maxi single "And,".

Name

The group name is derived from the boy next door trope, which KOZ Entertainment related to the group's "casual, friendly" approach to the public.[1] [2]

History

2019–2023: Formation and introduction

On January 11, 2019, rapper-producer Zico founded the label KOZ Entertainment after departing with Seven Seasons.[3] Hybe Corporation would later acquire the label as a subsidiary in 2020 and included KOZ in its joint auditions in March 2022.[4] [5]

Zico announced his plans to debut a boy band under the agency in February 2023. Media outlets reported that the group will debut in May of that year.[6] The group, named BoyNextDoor, was formally introduced on April 16, through the release of an animated video on YouTube.[7] Its members were introduced on May 14, through a series of GIFs depicting each member released across the band's social media platforms.[8]

2023–2024: Debut and First love trilogy

On May 8, 2023, KOZ announced that BoyNextDoor will debut with a three-track single album titled Who!, with all three tracks being promoted as singles,[9] [10] which publications deemed as a "rare act" in the industry.[11] Promotions for the album began with the release of the single "But I Like You", on May 23, followed by "One and Only" on May 26.[12] The band marked their debut with the official release of the album on May 30, alongside the single "Serenade".[13] [14]

On July 13, KOZ announced that the band would return with a new release in September 2023.[15] [16] Their first extended play (EP) titled Why.. was announced on August 8, through a black-and-white teaser image depicting a carousel ride.[17] The group released the EP on September 30, alongside its lead single "But Sometimes".[18] The EP debuted at number 162 in the Billboard 200, marking the group's first appearance on the chart.[19]

On November 1, the group's fandom name, "OneDoor", was announced.[20] The group released the promotional single "Fadeaway" on November 7, as the theme for the Naver webtoon Garbage Time.[21] At the 2023 Melon Music Awards, BoyNextDoor won the special award for Global Rising Artist.[22]

On February 13, 2024, KOZ announced that BoyNextDoor would release new music in April 2024.[23] [24] On March 18, the agency announced the band's second EP, titled How?, through a teaser video titled "How Can This Happen?".[25] How? completes the group's trilogy of releases chronicling the story of a "first love".[26] [27] The EP was released on April 15, alongside the single "Earth, Wind & Fire".[28] It debuted atop the Circle Album Chart for the issue dated April 20, marking the group's first number one album.[29] On April 23, the group received their first music show win in The Show.[30]

BoyNextDoor held their first fan meeting, titled "OneDoorful Day", at the Olympic Hall in Seoul from June 1 to 2. The group released the promotional single "Lucky Charm" on June 29 as part of the original soundtrack for the JTBC television series Miss Night and Day.[31] [32]

2024–present: Japanese debut and 19.99

On July 10, 2024, BoyNextDoor debuted in Japan with the maxi single "And,", which features Japanese re-recordings of the group's past singles and the Japanese-language song "Good Day".[33] [34] The single was released to commercial success, entering the Daily Single Ranking for the Oricon Chart dated July 10, marking the band's third number one single in the chart.[35] The band will be represented in a K-pop exhibit at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, California, alongside 78 other artists under Hybe and its sublabels from August 2 to September 15,.[36] [37]

On July 24, The Chosun Ilbo reported that BoyNextDoor was finalizing a new album, set for release in September.[38] On August 12, KOZ uploaded a 16-second video clip on the group's social media accounts revealing the title of the their third EP 19.99, which will be released on September 9.[39] The EP's release will be preceded by the pre-release single "Dangerous", set to be released on September 2.[40]

Artistry

BoyNextDoor's music has been self-described as "easy listening and natural".[41] [42] Members Jaehyun, Taesan, and Woonhak actively involve themselves with the production of the group's music and largely aim to create music about "the daily lives of their peers".[43] In the group's First love trilogy of Who!, Why.., and How?, BoyNextDoor explored a narrative of "first love and heartbreak", with Who! serving as an exposition, Why.. detailing the story's ending, and How? bridging the narrative between the two releases.[44] The tracks from the trilogy were largely influenced by rock, teen pop, hip hop, hyperpop, and synth-pop.[45] [46]
