BOYNEXTDOOR

BOYNEXTDOOR is a six-member South Korean boy group under KOZ Entertainment, a label founded by producer Zico. The group consists of Jaehyun, Sungho, Riwoo, Taesan, Leehan and Woonhak, and positions itself around a relatable, down-to-earth image rather than an overly polished idol persona, reflected in the «boy next door» concept behind its name.

The group debuted on May 30, 2023 with the album WHO! and lead single «Serenade», having already generated buzz with the pre-released tracks «But I Like You» and «One and Only». Their sound draws on pop, R&B, rock and light rap elements, often built around warm, youthful storytelling and coming-of-age themes rather than heavy production spectacle.

BOYNEXTDOOR followed their debut with the comeback album WHY.. in September 2023, expanding their WHO! era with new songs. Since then they have continued to release English-language versions of key tracks such as «Earth, Wind & Fire» and «Nice Guy», broadening their reach with international audiences while keeping their signature blend of youthful pop-rock songwriting.
