The group BOYNEXTDOOR has pre-released the title track of their Japanese debut single and showcased a surprise live performance. They plan to launch extensive local debut promotions to actively capture the hearts of fans.


BOYNEXTDOOR (members: Sungho, Liu, Myung Jae-hyun, Taesan, Lee Han, and Unhak) pre-released the audio of the title track "Earth, Wind & Fire (Japanese ver.)" from their first Japanese single "AND," at 8 PM on the 19th. On the same day, they held a listening party at CLUB QUATTRO in Shibuya, Tokyo at 7:30 PM, where they previewed the pre-released song and began their local debut promotions in earnest. The group made a surprise appearance at the listening party, delighting their fans. They stated, "We came because we wanted to meet ONEDOOR (fandom name). Since we always receive wonderful gifts from ONEDOOR, we wanted to give them a gift today." They performed a live rendition of "Earth, Wind & Fire (Japanese ver.)," and announced for the first time that one of the original Japanese songs on the debut single is titled "GOOD DAY," spending quality time with their fans.
In addition to the listening party, BOYNEXTDOOR is collaborating with the major Japanese retail group PARCO to hold events. Since the 14th, a photo exhibition titled "BOYNEXTDOOR GROUND IN PARCO PHOTO EXHIBITION" has been taking place on the basement floor of the PARCO department store in Shibuya, Tokyo. The exhibition features installation art using artwork from the debut single and previously unreleased photos of the members. Additionally, a photo booth with a four-frame design concept from the debut single is available, and commemorative merchandise produced for the photo exhibition is on display.
