BoyNextDoor members' profile

BoyNextDoor is the first K-pop band to be managed by KOZ Entertainment. Their song lyrics are known for being illustrative, and the members are involved in the production process.  In their interview with Nylon Manila, Taesan said their combined personalities are what has made them successful since their debut.

One of our biggest strengths as a group is that each of us is a strong character. So incorporating these unique personalities into the music, choreography, and stage is something we take a lot of time and effort into.

The group's first three EPs, Who!, Why.., and How!, delve into the young love storyline, which was well-received by their Gen Z fanbase. While talking to Teen Vogue, they revealed that they try to focus on topics with relatable storylines. 

We always try to choose topics that we want to talk about and that we can only talk about at this moment in time as young people living in this era. Because our name is BoyNextDoor, we are supposed to be the familiar boy-next-door kind of guys, so we tend to go for topics that a lot of people can resonate with.
