BOYNEXTDOOR thrilled fans at a showcase for their new single 'BOYLIFE,' featuring vibrant performances and fan interactions.

BOYNEXTDOOR excited Japanese fans with a one-night-only showcase. On the 20th, BOYNEXTDOOR released their 2nd single in Japan, 'BOYLIFE.' This single, about a year after their first single 'AND,' features the original title track 'Count To Love' and Japanese versions of three songs including the hit 'I Feel Good.' Each track showcases their expressive vocals and high-quality sound, conveying their current musical energy. The showcase held the day after the release gathered fans selected by lottery from those who purchased the album and fan club members. The members made a stylish entrance, sharing the joy of the release with many ONEDOOR (fan name). As the performance began, the six members gathered at the center of the stage, opening with 'I Feel Good (Japanese Ver.).' The vibrant energy of the original song was maintained, and their natural singing in Japanese was fresh and eye-catching. After a greeting from the MC, they started with introductions. When Jaehyun called out, 'Who's there?' all members cheerfully responded, 'BOYNEXTDOOR! Good evening, we are BOYNEXTDOOR!' which drew loud cheers from the audience. After simple greetings, they had a talk time with the MC. The first topic was their first concert tour 'BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR 'KNOCK ON Vol.1,' which toured 13 cities worldwide. Songho expressed pride in the joy of many ONEDOOR at the final concert held at the KSPO Dome in Korea, while Ihan reflected on the happiness of creating wonderful memories together after completing all performances. Regarding their participation in the American music festival 'Lollapalooza Chicago,' Tesan confidently commented, 'I was able to give my all,' showing their sincere attitude towards performances. They then touched on their new work 'BOYLIFE,' revealing that the title means 'a single depicting the daily life of youth delivered by BOYNEXTDOOR.' Jaehyun particularly mentioned that the title track 'Count To Love' features a unique and powerful rhythm with a wonderful band sound, hinting at it being a symbolic number of this work. The music video also became a topic of discussion, featuring members singing and dancing while watching a romantic comedy-style couple, with Japanese actor Riku Itagaki, who has immense support from Generation Z. Following an episode shared by Eunhak about speaking in Japanese during breaks, Jaehyun added that Riku also attended their concert, delighting fans. After expressing gratitude to ONEDOOR for their enthusiastic support during the performance of 'I Feel Good (Japanese Ver.),' Ihan said, 'I’m glad you liked it!' The second song performed was 'Nice Guy (Japanese Ver.),' included in 'BOYLIFE,' which is the Japanese version of the title track from their 3rd EP '19.99' released last September. This track is catchy and vividly depicts the charming figure of a nice guy. The vibrant staging heated up the venue, which then transformed into a friendly atmosphere during the 'Ask Anything Next to Q&A!' corner. This segment was a sincere response to questions collected from ONEDOOR beforehand. When asked about the most memorable thing while preparing for this activity, Eunhak joked about the music video, saying he was happy about the many comments saying 'Riku Itagaki is cool,' but felt a bit jealous. When asked about a fight that lasted two weeks, Songho honestly replied that the members try to talk when they can rather than holding back for long, showing a relaxed demeanor while answering fans' questions. The choreography for 'Count To Love' has already become a hot topic, with many fan dance videos being shared on social media. Considering this influence, the final segment involved filming a dance challenge video with the ONEDOOR present, which is expected to attract attention both domestically and internationally when uploaded later. As the event approached its end, each member conveyed heartfelt words to their fans. Tesan said, 'Please look forward to our first comeback in Japan!' and Songho expressed happiness if fans enjoyed not only the songs but also the performances and music videos. Jaehyun shared deep affection for fans, saying, 'Many ONEDOOR say, “Thank you for becoming my youth,” but I feel like I’m in my youth now. Thank you. I love you.' Ihan expressed excitement about showing new songs, saying he woke up with his eyes wide open. Liu shared his joy about returning with such a wonderful song, while Eunhak hoped fans would enjoy the original title track 'Count To Love.' Following the messages from the six members, the final performance was the title track 'Count To Love.' This love song humorously and delicately depicts the real interactions between lovers and quickly gained popularity, ranking first in the Oricon Daily Chart for two consecutive days (August 19 and 20). Through this new album that brings out their new charm, BOYNEXTDOOR strengthened their presence as a group, and the showcase successfully came to a close.
