Boynextdoor is bringing easy listening music.
Boynextdoor will release their 3rd mini album '19.99' at 6 PM on the 9th. The music video for the title song 'Nice Guy' will also be released on the same day.
It raises expectations for global influence. They successfully debuted in Japan last July. The new album shipped over 250,000 copies in the month of its release alone.
There are also positive signs in Korea. As of the 6th, '19.99' pre-orders have exceeded 815,250 copies. This is a 42% increase from the previous album (570,000 copies).
The music video is also popular. The music video for 'Parents Cannot Watch' ranked 4th on YouTube's most popular music. It has been viewed approximately 11 million times.
The name of this album refers to the time just before turning 20. The members, who are just entering their 20s or are 19 years old, honestly sang about their worries and thoughts.
The members wrote new songs. Myung Jae-hyun, Tae-san, and Un-hak created 'Nice Guy', 'Parents Can't See', 'Dolmaeng-i', 'Twenty', and 'Call Me'.
They emphasize 'life-related music'. They plan to draw sympathy from all generations beyond youth. They present memories to listeners through autobiographical lyrics.
'Nice Guy' aims to be popular music that anyone can listen to comfortably. It features a groovy rhythm that makes you hum after just one listen.
The lyrics contain the 'well-founded confidence' of a 19.99-year-old. It contains a different sensibility from their previous works, 'What's It Like' and 'Earth, Wind & Fire'.
The performance is also fun and eye-catching. The members express the image of a 'nice guy' that young people dream of through various gestures and facial expressions.
