BOYNEXTDOOR
Six members turning everyday youth, awkward love and growing pains into direct, self-aware pop with a strong songwriting identity.
Profile
BOYNEXTDOOR is a six-member South Korean boy group under KOZ Entertainment. SUNGHO, RIWOO, JAEHYUN, TAESAN, LEEHAN and WOONHAK debuted on May 30, 2023 with the single album WHO!.
The group built its identity around stories that feel close to ordinary youth: attraction, confession, breakup, ambition, insecurity and the uncertainty of growing up. Rather than relying on a fixed fictional universe, BOYNEXTDOOR has repeatedly emphasized music drawn from the members’ own experiences and emotions.
The group’s catalog developed through WHY.., HOW?, 19.99, No Genre and The Action. In 2026, BOYNEXTDOOR released its first studio album HOME, a project the members described as reflecting their trainee years, family relationships and the three years since debut. HOME: DELUXE followed on September 28, 2026, with 14 tracks and the lead single “ANIMAL.”
BOYNEXTDOOR also expanded its touring scale in 2026 with KNOCK ON Vol.2, announced as the group’s first world tour and extending the group’s live schedule beyond Asia into North America and Mexico.
