BOYNEXTDOOR showed off a strong charm with their new song “ANIMAL.” BOYNEXTDOOR released the music video for “ANIMAL,” the title track of their 1st Studio Album Repackage “HOME: DELUXE,” through the official HYBE LABELS YouTube channel at 6 p.m. on the 28th. The six members move freely like animals guided by instinct. They run all over everyday spaces such as residential neighborhoods, construction sites, outdoor wedding venues, and fountains. Their unpredictable actions, carried out while running around here and there, brought a refreshing sense of liberation. In the music video, BOYNEXTDOOR’s acting, which expresses an animal-like atmosphere, and the fast-paced visual development heighten the sense of immersion. The energy felt from their wild gazes and expressions, and their quick movements, brings excitement. The performance, in which Riwoo participated in creating the choreography, also stands out. The choreography, which visualizes animal movements, links with the song title and adds visual enjoyment. “ANIMAL” is an electro-funk song that contains the spirit of challenge and the will to constantly surpass oneself and move toward a better tomorrow. It expresses the attitude of moving forward without getting tired for what one wants, likening it to the lively movements of animals. Straightforward lyrics such as “Ignore yesterday’s self” and “Let’s just try it wow” clearly convey the song’s theme. The heavy beat and the powerful chorus repeating “ANIMAL” further increase its addictiveness. Along with their comeback, BOYNEXTDOOR will begin energetic activities. On the 29th, they are scheduled to appear on SBS Power FM’s “2 O’Clock Escape Cultwo Show,” and on the 30th, on the K-pop podcast “DAEBAK SHOW,” among various other channels and music programs. Also, at 8 p.m. on the 19th of next month, they plan to hold “BOYNEXTDOOR ‘HOME Party'” in Seoul and share their thoughts about comeback activities with fans.
