The group Boy Next Door has unveiled self-produced content that aligns with the concept of their new album.
On the 11th at 8 PM, Boy Next Door posted a special episode of their self-produced content 'WHAT? DOOR!' titled 'THE ACTION THRILLER' on their official YouTube channel. 'THE ACTION THRILLER' is a video linked to their mini album 'The Action'. It features the six members, divided into a film production crew called 'TEAM THE ACTION', and tells an intriguing story involving zombies.
The video unfolds around a zombie incident that occurs on the first movie screening day of 'TEAM THE ACTION'. It begins with a narration by Myung Jae-hyun, stating, "This story is something I actually experienced. If I said this really happened, no one would believe it," leading to the six members' struggles for a safe escape. While the members aim to showcase the movie they produced, zombies suddenly invade just as the screening is about to start. The members quickly take cover, devise an escape plan, and confront the zombies. The vivid reactions of the members to various situations that arise in the film add to the fun. The blend of an independent film atmosphere with entertainment elements enhances the viewing experience.
As they prepare for their comeback, Boy Next Door is offering a variety of enjoyable content themed around 'movies'. The scenes filmed by the crew's cinematographer, Unhak, who used a camcorder, are integrated throughout 'THE ACTION THRILLER', creating more immersive content. The introduction, where scriptwriter Myung Jae-hyun writes the manuscript, also aligns with this setting, enhancing the immersion. The video was shot in a cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio, and the special effects makeup team that participated in Netflix's 'Sweet Home Seasons 2 and 3', along with zombie actors from the movie 'Train to Busan' and Netflix's 'Kingdom' series, contributed to its high quality.
Boy Next Door's mini album 'The Action', set to be released on the 20th at 6 PM, embodies their ambition to take on challenges for growth. The title track 'Hollywood Action' showcases a confident attitude reminiscent of Hollywood stars. Expectations are high for their new release, which continues their successful trajectory.
