BOYNEXTDOOR brilliantly decorated the opening ceremony of the 'Men's Volleyball World Championship.' BOYNEXTDOOR was selected as the first Korean singer to be the global ambassador for the tournament organized by the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB). They appeared on the finale stage of the opening ceremony held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines, at 6:30 PM (Korean time) on the 12th. The venue was enveloped in an enthusiastic atmosphere. The audience, holding official support goods and self-made cheering goods for BOYNEXTDOOR, caught attention. Even before the performance began, cheers erupted just from the group name displayed on the electronic board, and the audience sang along to the title track 'Earth, Wind & Fire' from their 2nd mini-album 'HOW?', showcasing their global popularity. On this day, BOYNEXTDOOR heightened the atmosphere with the title track 'I Feel Good' from their 4th mini-album 'No Genre' and the title track 'Nice Guy' from their 3rd mini-album '19.99.' The audience responded with loud cheers to their wonderful choreography and flawless live performance. When the stage for their first digital single 'Today Only I LOVE YOU' and the title track 'Earth, Wind & Fire' from the 2nd mini-album began, the atmosphere reached its peak. The audience stood up in excitement, mimicking the choreography and singing along, fully enjoying the stage. The members expressed their gratitude, saying, 'Thank you for welcoming us with such passionate energy in this place where passion and challenge thrive. We are honored to share our music in front of people from all over the world. We wish good luck to all the athletes present here today.' They continued, 'Just as volleyball teams move with timing and trust, we also trust each other to complete our performance on stage. The most important thing on the court and stage is passion. We hope all teams shine passionately in this arena where the flowers of youth and passion bloom.' BOYNEXTDOOR is preparing for a comeback in October, and expectations are high for their new music as they continue to set career highs with each album.
