Boy Next Door Unveils ‘No Genre’ Concept Photos, Showcasing Bold, Genre-Defying Identity

K-pop boy group Boy Next Door (members: The Sign of the Cross, Rio de Janeiro, Myung Jae-hyun, Taesan, Ihan, Woonhak) dropped a surprise visual preview for their upcoming fourth mini album ‘No Genre’. On the evening of April 22, the group released the ‘No Matter’ version concept photos via their official social media accounts, igniting excitement among fans worldwide.

The 27 newly unveiled images—including both individual and group shots—radiate a chic, trendsetting vibe. Shot in eclectic urban backdrops such as high-rise buildings, tunnels, and cargo truck containers, the photos highlight each member’s charisma and unique aesthetic while embracing the genre-less, free-spirited essence of their album.

In their solo shots, each member expresses their individuality and visual appeal:

• The Sign of the Cross captivates with a calm demeanor and sculpture-like profile.
• Rio de Janeiro executes a challenging tilted-head pose brimming with confidence.
• Myung Jae-hyun lounges nonchalantly on the floor eating snacks, embodying a free soul.
• Taesan, under red-lit ambiance, channels sophistication and coolness in every pose.
• Ihan appears to dash through rays of light, delivering a uniquely staged visual.
• Woonhak completes his hipster aesthetic with a mature charm that accentuates his growth.

Set for release on May 13 at 6 PM KST, ‘No Genre’ aims to break musical boundaries, reflecting Boy Next Door’s commitment to crafting music unrestrained by conventional categories. The title track, ‘I Feel Good’, epitomizes this rebellion against the norm, reinforcing the group’s fearless musical identity.

The promotion unfolds chronologically with the release of accompanying media for each concept version. Following the ‘No Matter’ concept film on April 23, the group plans to debut the ‘No Route’ version on April 24–25 and the ‘No Limit’ version on April 28–29. Each release promises deeper insights into Boy Next Door’s unorthodox artistry and growth as K-pop global trailblazers.
