BOYNEXTDOOR will return on October 20 with their 5th EP The Action, marking the next chapter in their rise as K-pop’s authentic new wave

BOYNEXTDOOR (SUNGHO, RIWOO, JAEHYUN, TAESAN, LEEHAN, and WOONHAK) will return on October 20 with their 5th EP The Action, marking the next chapter in their rise as K-pop’s authentic new wave.

The group announced their comeback today with an intriguing video, ‘BOYNEXTDOOR Kick Off for [The Action],’ unveiled on HYBE LABELS’ Youtube Channel and the band’s official social media accounts.

The video sparks curiosity as the members appear in matching hoodies bearing the phrase “TEAM THE ACTION.” TAESAN throws a dart at a map that lands on Chicago, prompting the group to ask a smart speaker for filming location ideas in the city. When the virtual assistant mentions the Chicago Film Festival, the members decide to head there, and the video closes with the message, “Take no. 6 Ready Camera Action!” The festival reference leaves fans speculating about its meaning and the group’s potential involvement. A final link directs viewers to a website reading “BOYNEXTDOOR NEW ALBUM COMING SOON” and “WEBSITE OPEN 09°24’WED 10PM,” further heightening anticipation.

The Action follows BOYNEXTDOOR’s 4th EP No Genre, released in May 2025, which became their second consecutive million-seller. Building on this success, the sextet successfully wrapped up their first tour, ‘KNOCK ON Vol.1,’ and delivered standout performances at Lollapalooza Chicago and the GRAMMY Museum.

BOYNEXTDOOR’s 5th EP The Action will be available on all streaming platforms worldwide on October 20 at 6 PM KST.
