Ready for More? BOYNEXTDOOR Is Back in Action
Fresh off the heels of their Japanese second single BOYLIFE, rising K-pop rookies BOYNEXTDOOR are charging back with their fifth EP The Action on October 20 in Korea (October 21 in Japan).
From Million Sellers to Billboard Regulars
These boys aren’t slowing down. Their previous release, No Genre, went double million-seller, marking their second record to hit this milestone. They’ve also scored four consecutive entries on the Billboard chart and grabbed Oricon’s weekly double crown three releases straight. Not bad for a group that just debuted in 2023.
What’s the Story Behind ‘The Action’?
This comeback isn’t just another album drop—it’s a manifesto. The Action is all about pushing limits and stepping boldly into new territory.
“By taking action instead of staying still, we can grow stronger,” the group shared via their label.
Expect high-energy tracks, confident messages, and that signature BOYNEXTDOOR charm—all wrapped in a message of forward momentum.

Like many K-pop releases, The Action is releasing in multiple formats. Here’s what you need to know:
- Standard Versions: Play, Pause, and Loading Ver. (3,080 yen)

Each comes packed with K-pop essentials: photo books, photo cards (randomized, of course), posters, and unique collectibles based on the version you get. For the Frame ver., expect sleek packaging and mini-CDs. The Weverse version includes a digital QR card and an exclusive set of goodies.

Depending on where you buy it—Weverse, Universal Music Store, HMV, Tower Records, Amazon, or Rakuten—you can grab unique photo cards, posters, or clear files. Sets come with even more perks.
Important: These are first-come, first-served bonuses, and you can’t choose members. RNG gods, do your thing.
BOYNEXTDOOR’s Next Chapter Starts Here
The Action feels like BOYNEXTDOOR’s way of saying: “We’re not just here, we’re moving forward.” With their blend of infectious sound and unshakable drive, this EP could level them up from rising rookies to full-blown K-pop heavyweights.
