BOYNEXTDOOR Concludes Successful 'The Action' Comeback Showcase, Igniting Global Fan Excitement

Global K-Pop sensation BOYNEXTDOOR has successfully wrapped up their comeback showcase for their 5th mini-album, 'The Action,' delighting fans worldwide.

The event, held on the 20th at the KBS Arena in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, celebrated the release of their new mini-album. The showcase was livestreamed globally via the HYBE LABELS YouTube channel and the fan platform Weverse, attracting fans from 151 countries and regions including South Korea, the United States, Japan, and China.

Embracing the album's cinematic concept, the showcase opened with a playful intro video parodying film company logos. The six members then delivered a powerful first performance of their title track, 'Hollywood Action,' captivating the audience with their solid live vocals and intense choreography. They showcased contrasting charms with subsequent performances, including the dreamy 'Live In Paris,' which metaphorically likens late-night creative sessions to the time difference with Paris, and the ballad 'Don't Say,' portraying the hesitant confession of parting lovers, revealing a more mature sensibility.

As artists deeply involved in their music creation, the members shared engaging stories behind the tracks. "We poured our hearts into every song. We believe BOYNEXTDOOR's music is most compelling when it contains our true stories, so we dedicated ourselves to working without regard to time or place," they reflected. The showcase also featured fun, movie-themed games, adding to the vibrant atmosphere.

BOYNEXTDOOR expressed heartfelt gratitude and excitement for their return. "The members worked incredibly hard to write songs so that our ONEDOOR (fandom name) wouldn't have to wait too long. We're overjoyed to gift you a new album before the year ends. We've meticulously crafted every single lyric," they shared. "We promise to continue showing you more through our music and performances. We've prepared various activities, so please run alongside us."

Responding to the fans' enthusiastic cheers, the members returned for an encore, performing 'I Feel Good,' 'Hollywood Action,' and 'Earth, Wind & Fire' to express their appreciation.

Meanwhile, BOYNEXTDOOR released the full album 'The Action' and the music video for 'Hollywood Action' on the 20th at 6 PM KST. The title track, which embodies the confidence of a Hollywood star, features songwriting contributions from members Myung Jae-hyun, Tae San, Lee Han, and Un Hak.
