The members each become different movie protagonists, showcasing diverse charms. Seongho is in a bathtub, throwing a tennis ball with a troubled expression. The movie title is 'The Fifth Set', meaning the fifth set that decides the final match in a tennis game. Tesan enters a 90s youth movie, with impressive retro music and a fantastical atmosphere. Jehyun transforms into an action star, creating a tense atmosphere with the words 'SUNBURN ESCAPE' displayed prominently on screen as he runs as if being chased. Liu plays a superpower user who can emit electricity, awakening while watching breaking news of a large-scale blackout, resembling the opening of a hero movie. High school student Eunhak is left alone in a silent classroom, with a gaze out the window that reveals loneliness. The final member, Ihan, is placed in a pure white space. The sound of scraping a metal table with his toes and a creaking chair adds a thriller-like tension. BOYNEXTDOOR is preparing for their comeback, offering diverse highlights themed around movies. The six members are set as part of the movie production crew 'TEAM THE ACTION', which is intriguing. The concept photos and videos of the new album are staged like scenes from a movie, providing enjoyment to viewers. The 5th mini album 'The Action', set to be released at 6 PM on the 20th, embodies the determination to take on challenges while dreaming of a 'better self'.
