BOYNEXTDOOR Returns With First Full-Length Album 'HOME'; New Track 'VIRAL' Sweeps Charts

The group BOYNEXTDOOR successfully wrapped up the comeback showcase for its first full-length album to an explosive response from fans in 160 countries and regions.

On June 8, BOYNEXTDOOR held a showcase at Korea University's Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul to mark the release of its first full-length album, 'HOME'. Streamed live on HYBE Labels' YouTube channel and Weverse, the event brought in members of the group's global fandom, 'WONDOOR', from 160 countries and regions, including South Korea, the United States and Japan, in real time.

The highlight of the showcase was the first live performance of the title track 'VIRAL'. The group, which had used handheld microphones since its debut, switched to headset mics for precise, dynamic choreography. The song's steady build and the group's tight execution drew loud approval from the crowd. They then performed a range of album tracks and even delivered an impromptu a cappella live segment, showcasing their further growth as performers.

The showcase also highlighted the members' growing musical sincerity. For the first time, BOYNEXTDOOR received a group credit on the album and centered the record on the most private space — the 'home' — pouring their inner truths into the music. They said the process strengthened their bond and gave them a meaningful chance to tell their own story more directly.

They thanked fans who had waited for them and pledged to give their all so this chapter of their youth will still shine 10 years from now.

From the moment it was released, the album has struck the charts with fierce momentum. The title track 'VIRAL' surged to No. 5 on Melon's real-time 'Top 100' chart and reached No. 4 on YouTube Korea's trending music list. In addition, the album reached the upper ranks of iTunes' 'Top Albums' charts in 16 countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, marking a strong start to the group's comeback.
