The group BOYNEXTDOOR is back with their new album 'The Action', infused with their bold charm.
BOYNEXTDOOR (Seongho, Riu, Myungjae-hyun, Taesan, Lee Han, Unhak) will release the audio of their mini album 5 'The Action' and the music video for the title track 'Hollywood Action' today (20th) at 6 PM. The six members have infused their aspirations for growth and a commitment to becoming 'a better self' into the new album. They participated in the production of all tracks, aiming to resonate with listeners through music that reflects the team's individuality.
◆ Vivid Lyrics Written by Themselves and Enhanced Production Skills Reflect Team's Identity
The vivid lyrics written by BOYNEXTDOOR shine once again. Listeners can encounter various stories of willing challenges and actions. They express the pain of creation ('Live In Paris'), share musical connections with friends ('JAM!'), reveal the confusion in romantic relationships ('Bathroom'), and depict moments leading to breakups ('You Know'). Each song presents a different atmosphere. The title track 'Hollywood Action' showcases a challenging attitude and unrestrained confidence.
The enhanced production capabilities of the team are also evident. In addition to Myungjae-hyun, Taesan, and Unhak, who have consistently worked on songs, Lee Han has also contributed to the title track credits. This reflects BOYNEXTDOOR's continuous evolution and aligns with the album's message of challenge and growth, adding authenticity.
◆ Confidence Like a Hollywood Star! Upbeat Title Track 'Hollywood Action'
The title track 'Hollywood Action' is a song that exudes confidence akin to that of a Hollywood star. The team's signature vivid and intuitive lyrics shine once again. The members' active and assertive attitudes enhance the listening experience. Additionally, the swing rhythm, lively brass performance, and the smooth tones and rap of the six members create an atmosphere reminiscent of watching a movie.
BOYNEXTDOOR has prepared a fantastic visual experience that matches the song's vibe. The highlights of the performance, which have been partially revealed, are filled with powerful movements, raising expectations for the full stage performance. Choreographer Bada participated in creating the choreography for 'Hollywood Action', adding a unique flair.
◆ Setting 'Career High' with Every Album... Soaring on the Path of Success
BOYNEXTDOOR continues to maintain a steep upward trajectory, setting 'career highs' with every album. They achieved two consecutive million-selling records with mini album 3 '19.99' and mini album 4 'No Genre', with 'No Genre' recording first-week sales of 1,166,419 copies, a 54% increase compared to the previous week's sales of 759,156 copies. All tracks, including the title track, have also charted well, establishing them as 'powerhouses' in the music scene.
Their global expansion is also noteworthy. All four mini albums released by BOYNEXTDOOR have entered the main Billboard album chart 'Billboard 200'. Additionally, they successfully completed their first solo tour 'BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR 'KNOCK ON Vol.1'', performing 23 shows in 13 cities this summer, and showcased their growing presence in the global music market by performing at 'Lollapalooza Chicago'. Expectations are rising for the new album from the six members who are soaring on the path of success.
Meanwhile, BOYNEXTDOOR will hold the 'BOYNEXTDOOR 5th EP [The Action] COMEBACK SHOWCASE' at KBS Arena in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, at 8 PM on the release day, the 20th.
