SUNGHO

BOYNEXTDOOR concluded the Japan leg of its first world tour in Chiba, drawing about 140,000 fans across six Japanese cities. The concert featured diverse concepts, powerful performances, and three encores, and the group thanked ONEDOOR for their support and love.

Oggi’s popular irregular series “Off-kare” features BOYNEXTDOOR’s Sungho and Leehan for the first time in the magazine. The shoot captures their natural, relaxed side as two close friends spending an unplanned day at home. The issue also includes interviews about HOME: DELUXE, their days off, messages to each other, and notes for the other four members.

BOYNEXTDOOR released their 1st Studio Album Repackage, HOME: DELUXE, featuring 14 tracks including new songs ANIMAL and CLICHE, a Korean version of Count To Love, and their first fan song, 400 Years. They described ANIMAL as a bold electro-funk track about pushing forward, and shared behind-the-scenes details about the album, choreography, and their hopes for ONEDOOR's response.

BOYNEXTDOOR drew attention with its raw charm. From the 14th to the 16th, it sequentially released concept photos and films for the HAZE, OVERDRIVE, and SPARK versions of its first full album repackage, HOME: DELUXE, through official SNS and HYBE LABELS' YouTube channel. The HAZE photos showed members acting out scenes that boldly captured the lingering heat of a wild night. Set against a public restroom in a remote field, Sungho and Riwoo were shown cleaning the dirty restroom, Jaehyun and Taesan looked languid as if still under the influence of the previous night, and Leehan and Woonhak showed mischievous expressions. Through the concept film, BOYNEXTDOOR also displayed a tough appeal, sensually portraying hazy consciousness and memory while the members enjoyed reckless freedom. KOZ Entertainment said the contrasting concept, unlike the serious mood of the first full album, is increasing curiosity about the new release and expectations for the new songs.

BOYNEXTDOOR unveiled the main special report for HOME: DELUXE, a fictional documentary tied to the title track ANIMAL. The six members acted as different animals, showing strong comedic performance, while Yoon Kyung-ho appeared as a modern human zoology expert. The video’s concept, chemistry, and acting boosted the fun. HOME: DELUXE, out on the 28th, is an expanded repackaged version of their first album HOME, expressing a desire to move into a wider world.

On the afternoon of the 1st, SBS MTV’s THE SHOW was held at SBS Prism Tower in Sangam-dong, Mapo District, Seoul, and ALPHA DRIVE ONE won first place. The broadcast featured ALPHA DRIVE ONE, MADEIN’s Sakamoto Mashiro, SF9, AEN, ONEWE, TEMPEST’s Hanbin, AtHeart, Splayit, TRYTHAT, iii, and SEO EVE.

BOYNEXTDOOR returned to Korea through Incheon International Airport on the 31st after completing the Saga performance of their Japan concert, "BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR 'KNOCK ON Vol.2' IN JAPAN."

BOYNEXTDOOR’s Sungho and ALPHA DRIVE ONE’s Sanwon have been chosen as the new MCs for MBC’s Music Core, which begins airing in Korea on September 5. Sungho, who has served as a special MC since 2024, and Sanwon, who debuted through BOYS II PLANET, both expressed their excitement and determination to deliver bright, positive energy each week.

BOYNEXTDOOR kicked off the Japan leg of its first world tour, 'KNOCK ON Vol.2,' with three shows in Yokohama. The concert featured bigger-scale staging, a wide setlist from debut-era songs to new tracks, and a surprise appearance by AiNA THE END. The group thanked fans after drawing 60,000 people and will continue touring five more Japanese cities.

BOYNEXTDOOR released collaboration videos with Hiromi Go and Choutokimeki♡Sendenbu, including dance clips and a G-pose video. They appeared together on CDTV Live! Live!, and BOYNEXTDOOR is promoting its new Japanese digital single while starting its Japan tour.
