BoyNextDoor Returns with Their Boldest Album Yet: ‘No Genre’
BoyNextDoor’s Genre-Breaking Comeback: What to Expect from ‘No Genre’
With each release, BoyNextDoor (Sung-ho, Riwoo, Myung Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan, Woonhak) continues to reach new career highs—and the excitement for their latest EP ‘No Genre’, dropping July 13 at 6 PM KST, is no exception. With a mission to transcend the confines of traditional genres, the six-member K-pop sensation is back with a fresh musical vision filled with energy, authenticity, and emotional resonance.
The album embodies the group’s ethos of defying genre boundaries and expressing pure emotion. Their new tracks are expected to further expand their sonic palette, offering fans a dynamic and diverse listening experience.
A Sonic Journey through Emotional Realism
‘No Genre’ features seven tracks that weave a rich tapestry of sounds and styles. The title track, ‘I Feel Good’, is infused with powerful rockstar energy, while ‘123-78’ evokes 1960s pop soul nostalgia. ‘Step By Step’ brings a shimmering city pop charm, and ‘장난쳐?’ (literal translation: ‘Are You Kidding Me?’) delivers funky rhythms. The track ‘Next Mistake’ ups the tempo with house beats and emotional hooks.
Members Myung Jaehyun, Taesan, and Woonhak had a hand in creating several tracks, proving once again BoyNextDoor isn’t just about performance—they’re artists committed to sincere storytelling through music. Their lyrical craftsmanship turns everyday sentiments into original music, continuing their legacy of relatable, life-connected anthems.
‘I Feel Good’ Captures the Essence of Life-Connected Music
BoyNextDoor’s signature approach—‘Music Close to Life’—remains intact and stronger than ever. The pre-released lyrics of ‘I Feel Good’ have already generated buzz among fans for their raw expressiveness, with lines like “making you frown” and “crashing into madness.” It’s this kind of candid language that fuels the group’s authentic storytelling and deepens their connection with listeners.
The group’s performance strength is another key to their impact. Known for using handheld mics since debut, they engage audiences with stellar live vocals and genuine emotional interaction. At KCON JAPAN 2025, they teased the chorus of ‘I Feel Good’, promising fans a jaw-dropping performance. “We guarantee this comeback will hit differently,” said the group, teasing even greater heights to come.
From Debut Success to Full-Fledged K-pop Powerhouse
BoyNextDoor’s trajectory has been nothing short of explosive. Their first three mini albums—‘WHY..’, ‘HOW?’, and ‘19.99’—have marked rapid growth. ‘19.99’ became their first million-seller and earned a spot at No. 40 on the Billboard 200, marking a true breakthrough for the group globally.
That momentum carried into January with the digital single ‘If I Say, I Love You’, which broke into the Melon Top 100 at No. 4 and held high ranks on Apple Music Korea for 37 consecutive days. As excitement builds for ‘No Genre’, all eyes are on BoyNextDoor to see just how high they’ll climb next.
