BOYNEXTDOOR Dominates Charts with Self-Produced Album 'The Action'

Global sensation BOYNEXTDOOR is soaring high on music charts, showcasing their enhanced creative prowess with their 5th mini-album, ‘The Action’.

The album, released on October 20th, topped both the Circle Chart and Hanteo Chart's weekly album charts, proving its immense popularity. Led by the title track ‘Hollywood Action’, the album features a diverse range of B-sides including ‘Live In Paris’, ‘JAM!’, ‘Bathroom’, and ‘있잖아’, captivating music fans with their unique sound.

Significantly, all tracks on ‘The Action’ were self-produced by the BOYNEXTDOOR members. While Myung Jae-hyun, Tae San, and Unak have been active in songwriting since their debut, Lee Han also contributed to the title track’s creation this time. The members took charge not only of lyrics and composition but also of defining the themes for each track, demonstrating a significant leap in their creative capabilities. Songs like ‘있잖아’, spearheaded by Myung Jae-hyun, and ‘JAM!’, primarily crafted by Tae San and Unak, are prime examples of this evolved artistry.

The relatable lyrics, infused with the members' daily experiences, resonate deeply with listeners. ‘Live In Paris’ uses the time difference with France as a metaphor for dedicating late hours to work in pursuit of inspiration. The realistic lyrics, such as “Postponing sleep / No day or night / Coffee that raises my heart rate” and “Not the Eiffel Tower, but under fluorescent lights,” have particularly struck a chord.

Another highlight is ‘JAM!’, which perfectly embodies the members' free-spirited nature. The song captures the spontaneous vibe of a ‘jam session’ with friends, where they connect through freestyle dance and music. The title track, ‘Hollywood Action’, features a swing rhythm and an energetic melody, amplified by the six members' cheerful disposition and boundless enthusiasm, bringing the song to life with 200% impact.

Listeners have responded positively to BOYNEXTDOOR's distinctive musical identity. The title track ‘Hollywood Action’ debuted at number 21 on Melon's weekly chart, a key indicator of mainstream appeal, with B-sides ‘있잖아’ and ‘Live In Paris’ also charting. This broad popularity across all tracks solidifies their status as a powerhouse in the digital music scene. As BOYNEXTDOOR continues to grow and establish themselves as a team that consistently delivers great music, anticipation for their future endeavors is at an all-time high.

Korean netizens are praising the group's growth, commenting, 'BOYNEXTDOOR's new album is really all good,' 'You can tell the members wrote the songs themselves,' and 'It's great to see them evolving.' The fans have shown immense support for the album's overall high quality and the members' enhanced creative skills.
