On stage, BOYNEXTDOOR captivated the audience with a series of electrifying performances. Their rendition of the hit track 'Only Me I LOVE YOU' showcased their carefree charm, igniting the crowd with a dance battle alongside their backup dancers. The energy surged further as they incorporated freestyle rap using lyrics from their mini-album 'No Genre' title track, 'I Feel Good.' Their 'rockstar' persona and dynamic performance elicited a massive sing-along from the audience.
The performance of 'Hollywood Action' was a highlight, featuring the members' synchronized, powerful choreography. Their stage command and confident portrayal of 'Hollywood stars' were undeniable.
