THE BOYZ has successfully finished their world tour and announced a comeback at the end of October. They closed the approximately three-month world tour with the final concert of "THE BOYZ WORLD TOUR: ZENERATION II" held at Osaka Castle Hall on September 23. This tour showcased their powerful 'energetic performer' abilities that have intensified overseas beyond Korea. Their solo concert held in July at Seoul KSPO DOME was sold out, marking a strong start as they met fans worldwide through 21 performances in 15 cities across 10 countries including America, Europe, and Asia. This tour was larger in scale than last year's "THE BOYZ 2ND WORLD TOUR: ZENERATION," demonstrating their growing popularity and influence. The performances featured impressive group dances, a new song "Bite Back" debuted during the tour, and a captivating expression of dangerous love in "Levitating," showcasing their unique dark charisma and sexy performances. They also displayed their limitless potential through solo performances including electric guitar and piano. They ran around the stage with boundless energy, connecting with fans, and expressed, "I think this was the happiest moment of my life." They thanked THE B (the name for THE BOYZ's fans) for the beautiful memories and promised to deliver love and energy back to them. Having reaffirmed their presence worldwide during this tour, they are now preparing for a full comeback at the end of October. Since their debut in 2017, they are approaching the end of their exclusive contract this year. Their agency stated on the 23rd to Newsen, "The members' contracts have not yet expired. We plan to continue discussions with the members." Full impressions from THE BOYZ about "ZENERATION II" were shared, with members expressing their happiness and gratitude for the fans' support and promising to continue delivering love and energy.
