BOYNEXTDOOR Unveils Snippets of All Tracks from Upcoming Mini-Album 'The Action,' Hinting at a Cinematic Comeback

BOYNEXTDOOR is heightening anticipation for their upcoming comeback on the 20th by releasing preview snippets of all songs from their new mini-album, 'The Action.'

On the 9th at 10 PM, the group, comprising Sungho, Riwoo, Myung Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan, and Woonhak, dropped a track spoiler video on the HYBE LABELS YouTube channel. The video features the six members transforming into the film crew 'TEAM THE ACTION' and shooting a short film. Their passionate yet sometimes clumsy on-screen personas provide delightful entertainment, with snippets of the title track 'Hollywood Action' and other songs like 'Dumb Dumb,' 'JAM!,' 'Bathroom,' and 'Live In Paris' creatively woven into each scene.

This album showcases BOYNEXTDOOR's expanded musical spectrum, with the title track 'Hollywood Action' leading the charge in exploring diverse genres. 'Hollywood Action' expresses confidence akin to Hollywood stars, leaving a strong impression even with brief lyrics, blending cheerful brass sounds with a swing rhythm. Myung Jaehyun, Taesan, Woonhak, and Leehan contributed to the songwriting and composition, further enhancing the track's unique identity.

Among the B-sides, 'Live In Paris' likens the dedication of late-night work sessions for inspiration to the time difference with Paris, employing a European acid jazz style to create a dreamlike, early-morning atmosphere. 'JAM!' is a minimalist hip-hop track centered around the concept of 'jamming'—spontaneous musical and dance exchanges among friends. 'Bathroom' intensely portrays the chaos of emotional eruption during conflicts with a lover, expressed through the rock genre. In contrast, 'Dumb Dumb' is a ballad depicting a couple difficultly delivering words of breakup after realizing their love has faded, characterized by a gentle medium-tempo instrumental and sweet melody.

BOYNEXTDOOR is sparking curiosity about their comeback through innovative promotions themed around filmmaking. The members are unfolding a story where they participate in a film festival as part of the film crew, presenting a meticulously crafted narrative through their content.

'The Action,' set for release on the 20th at 6 PM, embodies BOYNEXTDOOR's progressive ambition and spirit of challenging themselves towards a 'better self.' Fans are eagerly awaiting the comeback of the group, which has further amplified its musical capabilities by participating in the writing and composition of all tracks.

Fans are expressing their excitement, commenting, "As expected from BOYNEXTDOOR, their music is always trustworthy! The concept for this album is so fresh," "'Hollywood Action' already sounds like a masterpiece," and "I'm so excited to enjoy the story and the songs together."
