BOYNEXTDOOR took home four awards at the Seoul Music Awards.
BOYNEXTDOOR (Seongho, Riwoo, Myung Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan, Woonhak) swept four categories at the ‘35th Seoul Music Awards’ held on the 20th at Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon, taking one of the biggest prizes, the ‘Best Album’ award, as well as the ‘Main Award’, the ‘World Best Artist’ award, and the ‘R&B Hip-hop Award’.
They said, “We were gratefully crowned four-time winners at the Seoul Music Awards. We have truly run hard from last year to this year. We always talk among the members about making good songs and trying lots of new music, and receiving such a wonderful award makes it feel even more meaningful. We will continue to be a team that creates good albums and the kind of music you want to hear, worthy of these awards. We are grateful to the members of KOZ and HYBE, and we are proud of and always thankful to ONEDOOR (our fandom), who enabled us to receive this award.”
On the day, BOYNEXTDOOR performed the title track ‘VIRAL’ from their first full-length album and the title track ‘Hollywood Action’ from their 5th mini album. ‘VIRAL’ showcased the six members’ intense energy and organic synergy. They displayed solid vocals and precision, unfolding ‘knife-like’ group choreography that brought out the ‘2nd-3rd generation K-pop’ sensibility. Pair choreography and a dance break drew thunderous cheers.
If they flaunted a more mature charm with ‘VIRAL’, then with ‘Hollywood Action’ they pushed the excitement to its peak with confident stage manners. Relaxed gestures and group choreography reminiscent of an action movie heightened immersion and maximized the fun of watching. The six members amped up the energy with explosive projection, skillfully led audience participation, and the crowd responded in unison with a mass sing-along, adding to the heat.
Riding a wave of popularity as their first studio album ‘HOME’, released on the 8th, swept to No. 1 on both album and digital charts, they will present stages for their new songs on music programs through next week.
From the 17th to the 19th of next month, they will hold their first world tour, ‘BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR ‘KNOCK ON Vol.2’’ at Seoul’s KSPO DOME.
