BOYNEXTDOOR Japanese release and world tour expansion

Overview

South Korean boy group BOYNEXTDOOR, under KOZ Entertainment, released their second Japanese digital single, ‘Boom Boom Boom’, on August 18, 2026. The release followed a scheduled performance on the Japanese television program ‘CDTV Live! Live!’ on August 17.

The single, described as an upbeat indie-pop track with electro-swing influences, achieved early commercial success, appearing in the top 10 on Line Music, iTunes Japan, and Oricon. Reviews of the track highlight the group’s youthful energy and a ‘busy and complex’ production style. Members noted that the song’s high word density required significant practice regarding rhythm and pronunciation.

To celebrate the release, the group held a special music video viewing event for 100 fans. The release preceded the Japanese leg of the group’s first world tour, ‘BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR ‘KNOCK ON Vol. 2’ IN JAPAN’, which launched in late August at K-Arena Yokohama. The tour is scheduled to consist of 13 concerts across six cities: Kanagawa, Saga, Osaka, Miyagi, Nagano, and Chiba.

As the ‘KNOCK ON Vol. 2’ tour expands across 24 cities in North America and Asia, high demand has led to schedule adjustments. Following the sell-out of original dates at Linkou Arena, an additional performance has been scheduled for January 8, allowing the group to perform for three consecutive days in Taiwan.
