BOYNEXTDOOR will exclusively distribute 'It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas' on Apple Music and iTunes starting from 6 PM on October 31. 'It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas' was produced as part of Apple Music's 'Carols Covered 2024' campaign. Every year at the end of the year, Apple Music gathers the best contemporary artists to cover classic carols and delivers them in immersive Dolby Atmos spatial audio through the 'Carols Covered' campaign. This year, BOYNEXTDOOR is the only participant among Korean boy groups. They covered the original song by Michael Bublé, loved by people around the world, with the group's unique free and lively energy. The special arrangement mixes elements of jazz with rock, adding brass, guitar sounds, and strings to create a fun yet bittersweet atmosphere. The six members revealed, 'We chose 'It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas' because we thought it matched BOYNEXTDOOR the best.' They also shared their thoughts, saying, 'We were able to create good memories while recording with the members. Listening to the classic song in the members' voices brings out a new charm and a sense of winter.' An interview with a Q&A session was also released through Apple Music. -- What was the reason for choosing the song? Ihan: I decided on this song because I thought it matched BOYNEXTDOOR well among the carol classics. -- Do you have any memories related to the original song? Tesan: I don't have memories related to the original song, but I was able to create good memories while recording with the members.

Jehyun: Listening to a long-loved classic song in the members' voices brings out a new charm and a sense of winter. -- How do you think recording in spatial audio will change the musical experience? Seongho: I think it will enrich the joyful and exciting feelings of the end of the year. -- If you imagine the perfect holiday dinner with friends and family, what comes to mind? Ihan: I imagine everyone having dinner together or going to the beach or park with family and walking the dog. -- Do you have any memorable holiday memories or activities? Eunhak: I remember the gaze and cheers of the fans looking at us when we went on stage at an award ceremony during last year's holiday season, which warmed up the cold winter. -- What role do you think music plays during the holidays?
