The group BOYNEXTDOOR (Sungho, Riwoo, Myung Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan, Woonhak) delivered a passionate live performance on November 8 (local time) as the headliner for ‘Billboard: One Night Only,’ hosted by the American music media outlet Billboard.
The venue, Music Hall of Williamsburg, is one of Brooklyn’s representative live music venues. It is well-known as a place where Ed Sheeran performed during his rookie days, and has hosted surprise performances by global musicians such as Harry Styles, Coldplay, and Kendrick Lamar.
Participating in this concert to create special memories for fans despite their busy North American tour schedule, BOYNEXTDOOR drew intense interest from fans even before taking the stage. The members maximized the advantage of the intimate venue where the stage and audience are close, engaging in deeply connected interactions with the audience.
Kicking off the concert with the high-energy track ‘ANIMAL,’ the group showcased their diverse musical colors by consecutively performing ‘VIRAL,’ which blends the charm of 2nd to 3rd-generation K-pop, and the charismatic hip-hop track ‘Smart.’ The energy reached its peak during the performances of ‘Earth, Wind & Fire’ and ‘ADIOS!’. The audience responded enthusiastically by moving to the rhythm and singing along, while the members further heated up the atmosphere with stable live vocals and relaxed stage manners.
Fueled by the enthusiastic response, BOYNEXTDOOR treated the crowd to ‘ANIMAL’ and ‘ADIOS!’ as impromptu encore songs. After wrapping up the concert, the members shared their thoughts, saying, ‘Thank you for welcoming us. Every city we’ve visited on our North American tour has been charming. It was impressive to hear you sing along loudly to the songs. Just as we are building many memories through our performances, we hope this moment remains deeply etched in your memories.’
Currently, BOYNEXTDOOR is continuing the North American leg of their first world tour, ‘BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR ‘KNOCK ON Vol.2′.’ Videos of audiences enthusiastically singing along to ‘Hollywood Action,’ ‘VIRAL,’ and ‘ANIMAL’ during previous concerts have spread via social media, generating major buzz. Favorable reviews from concertgoers have continued, highlighting their hot local popularity.
The group is scheduled to meet local fans with upcoming performances starting in Toronto on the 10th, followed by Vancouver on the 13th, Seattle on the 15th, San Francisco on the 17th, Los Angeles on the 20th, and Mexico City on the 24th.
