BOYNEXTDOOR drop trainee-era footage in 'HOME VIDEO' ahead of debut full-length 'HOME' on June 8
BOYNEXTDOOR drops their first full-length album 'HOME' on June 8, with EP2 'HOME VIDEO' showing never-before-seen trainee footage and studio sessions with producer ZICO.
BOYNEXTDOOR's debut full-length HOME arrives June 8 at 6 PM. That same night at 8 PM, they'll perform at Korea University's Hwajung Gymnasium in Seoul's Seongbuk-gu.
On June 4, the group posted HOME VIDEO Ep.2: HOME to the HYBE Labels YouTube channel. The video documents the album's making and includes previously unreleased trainee-era monthly evaluations, plus behind-the-scenes moments with overall producer ZICO. All six members — Sungho, Riwoo, Myungjae-hyun, Taesan, Leehan, and Woonhak — are credited on the album.
The title track VIRAL centers on the group's desire for their music to reach as many people as possible. They framed the record as closing "Chapter 1" while opening "Chapter 2," describing it as a place they could always return to.
Making it took a toll. "This is the first time we've suffered this much while working on an album," they said. The members were careful about how they processed that pain: "If we just express these stories, it becomes melodrama, but if we equip it with determination, it becomes a narrative." (They also noted feeling anxious unless they're pushing hard — "now we feel stability only when we are anxious" — which tracks.)
ZICO, who produced the album, called HOME "the most precious album for BOYNEXTDOOR," noting he felt their determination to make the hiatus period count.
The group performed at the 2026 Weverse Con Festival on June 6 ahead of the release.
