BOYNEXTDOOR Makes Bold Moves in Japan, from 'with MUSIC LIVE' Appearance to Solo Variety Show

 

The group BOYNEXTDOOR is continuing its unstoppable activities, showcasing overwhelming influence in the Japanese market.

BOYNEXTDOOR will appear in the "with MUSIC LIVE" special performance held at Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan, for two days from the 11th to the 12th. As the only K-pop artists included in this lineup, they are set to captivate local fans by performing on the second day.

Starting with this performance, BOYNEXTDOOR's activities in Japan will accelerate further. On February 14 and 15, the members will take the stage as headliners for two consecutive days at "BEAT AX," a major festival held at the same Ariake Arena. Subsequently, on March 7, they will attend the first day of TBS's "CDTV Live! Live! Spring Thanksgiving 2026" to meet global fans.

Beyond performing, the group is expanding its reach into the local variety show market. Starting April 11, BOYNEXTDOOR will launch a talk variety show titled "BOYNEXTDOOR Tomodachi Base" on Nippon TV. This marks the first time the group will host a fixed variety program under their own name on a local Japanese broadcast. As the main hosts of the program, they plan to showcase new charms while communicating with various guests every week.

These bold moves by BOYNEXTDOOR are supported by their solid performance in Japan. Since making their local debut in July 2024 with the single "AND,", they have demonstrated their power by selling out all 13 shows of their first solo tour in Japan. In particular, their second single "BOYLIFE," released last year, topped two Oricon weekly charts and earned a "Platinum" certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ).

Their Korean releases, the 4th mini-album "No Genre" and 5th mini-album "The Action," also received "Gold" certifications in Japan, proving their immense popularity. Building on these achievements, BOYNEXTDOOR solidified its position as a next-generation K-pop leader by winning the New Artist Award at the 67th Japan Record Awards last November.
