BOYNEXTDOOR Makes History as Only K-Pop Boy Group on YouTube's 2025 Shorts Chart

Global K-Pop sensation BOYNEXTDOOR has achieved a unique milestone, becoming the sole K-pop boy group to feature on YouTube's 2025 year-end chart for top trending Shorts music.

According to YouTube's "Top 10 Most Popular Korean Shorts Songs of 2025" list released on December 3rd, BOYNEXTDOOR's digital single released earlier this year, 'Only if I LOVE YOU TODAY', secured the 10th spot. This remarkable achievement highlights the group's growing presence and widespread appeal within the K-pop scene.

'Only if I LOVE YOU TODAY' is a dance track that humorously portrays the aftermath of a breakup, resonating with listeners through its witty lyrics and upbeat melody. The song's popularity extended beyond YouTube, topping Apple Music Korea's 'Today's Top 100' for 37 consecutive days and charting on the US Billboard 'Global (Excl. U.S.)' and 'Global 200' charts, showcasing its international reach. It also maintained a strong presence on the Melon monthly chart for 11 months, solidifying its status as a digital hit.

Furthermore, BOYNEXTDOOR's fifth mini-album, ‘The Action,’ released in October, continues to demonstrate long-lasting popularity. The album debuted at number 40 on the Billboard 200, the main album chart in the United States, and remained on various Billboard charts, including 'World Albums' and 'Emerging Artists,' for five consecutive weeks.

The group's recent accolades include winning the 'Favorite Male Group' award at the '2025 MAMA AWARDS' held in Hong Kong and are anticipated to be strong contenders at the upcoming '17th Melon Music Awards (MMA2025)' on December 20th.

Korean netizens are buzzing with excitement, commenting things like "BOYNEXTDOOR is truly the trend! Didn't expect them to dominate Shorts too," "Their digital power plus YouTube success... hoping this album is also a huge hit," and "They're already this successful as rookies, their future looks even brighter!"
