BOYNEXTDOOR Drop 'HOME: DELUXE' Repackage Album
Rosa Gulliver of TINYGMUSIC | September 28, 2026
BOYNEXTDOOR of KOZ ENTERTAINMENT, a label under HYBE, have released their first repackage album, HOME: DELUXE, marking a new chapter in the group’s journey beyond the familiar.
BOYNEXTDOOR’s first studio album, HOME, reflected on the journey of the “boys next door,” capturing the emotions and memories they had gathered since their debut. With HOME: DELUXE, the group takes that story a step further, exploring new perspectives and emotions as they venture beyond the comfort and familiarity of “home.”
The release arrives as BOYNEXTDOOR continue to reach new career milestones, with four consecutive million-selling albums and six consecutive entries on the Billboard 200, including HOME. Building on this trajectory, the six members are ready to step beyond what is familiar, embracing new experiences and expanding their musical horizons.
HOME: DELUXE features 14 tracks, including all nine songs from HOME, two new tracks, two previously released songs, and the group’s first fan song. The new tracks are led by “ANIMAL,” an electro-funk track about the instinctive drive to push beyond one’s limits, alongside “CLICHE,” a lively disco track capturing the unexpected rush of falling in love. The album also includes the Korean version of “Count To Love,” previously released in Japanese, as well as “Boom Boom Boom,” which served as the lead single from BOYNEXTDOOR’s second Japanese digital single of the same name, and “400 Years,” the group’s first fan song, a pop ballad originally unveiled through their official YouTube channel.
“ANIMAL” marks BOYNEXTDOOR’s first foray into electro-funk, further broadening the group’s musical palette while retaining the distinctive character that runs through their music. The track compares the relentless pursuit of what one wants to the instinctive movements of an animal, pairing candid lyrics with a weighty beat and an addictive chorus built around the repeated chant of “ANIMAL.”
The track also showcases BOYNEXTDOOR’s hands-on approach to music-making. Inspired by their experiences connecting with audiences during live performances, the members contributed ideas for the call-and-response ad-libs in the chorus, as well as the melodic line, helping shape the song’s infectious hooks.
Their creative involvement extends to the performance. RIWOO participated in creating the choreography for the chorus, incorporating animal-inspired movements that bring out the song’s instinctive energy. The performance moves between explosive bursts and moments of restraint, while large-scale formations with dancers amplify its impact. In the latter half, freer movements allow each member’s individual character to come through.
The accompanying music video captures BOYNEXTDOOR’s intense and uninhibited energy as they roam through an ordinary city, following their instincts and curiosity from one place to the next. Moving through residential neighbourhoods, construction sites, outdoor wedding venues, and fountains, the six members gradually reveal a more instinctive side, responding freely to the sights and stimuli around them. Their unpredictable actions make them appear unfamiliar and untamed to those around them, while animal-inspired movements, dynamic camera angles, and rapid editing heighten the video’s immersive rhythm and sense of liberation. Rather than portraying any specific animal, the video focuses on the members’ instinctive energy and free-spirited exploration.
BOYNEXTDOOR will also star in DAMN!BULANCE, their own podcast series under STAN:A, HYBE MEDIA STUDIO’s original video podcast show. Bringing their signature humour and chemistry to the format, the members will team up with a diverse lineup of guests to tackle “DAMN!” moments from everyday life and figure out how to get out of unexpected situations. The series premieres October 2 at 7 PM KST, with new episodes released every other Friday on STAN:A’s Spotify and YouTube channels. Check out the teaser HERE.
