BOYNEXTDOOR, a name rapidly gaining traction in the international music scene, has achieved a significant milestone. On September 18, Billboard officially confirmed that this rookie K-pop group had made their grand entrance into its Top 200 Albums chart. This chart, renowned for ranking the most popular albums in the United States, now features BOYNEXTDOOR‘s new mini album WHY.. at No. 162 for the week ending on September 23.
The group also marked their debut on Billboard’s Artist 100, securing the 64th spot. This is their first-ever appearance on this chart. It showcases their rising popularity and potential to become a big name in the music industry. Furthermore, WHY.. has made its presence felt on other Billboard charts. It entered the World Albums chart at an impressive No. 3 and debuted at No. 10 on both the Top Album Sales chart and the Top Current Album Sales chart.
It’s amazing that BOYNEXTDOOR made a significant impact—and on such prestigious charts, too. Their journey, marked by dedication and talent, serves as an inspiration to aspiring artists. With WHY.., they’ve not only captured the hearts of their fans but also the attention of the global music community. Their agency, KOZ Entertainment, must be very proud.

BOYNEXTDOOR continues to rise
The EP’s tracks tell the story of someone “experiencing a breakup for the first time.” During an EP showcase before its launch, member Riwoo said, “We prepared both together, and we treat them as one big album.” The EP’s songs are characterized by candid lyrics. In a conversation with The Korea Herald, member Woonhak shared that they “used the daily language and gestures of the members in the lyrics,” intending for the tracks to “sound like talking to a friend.”
For those eager to catch a glimpse of BOYNEXTDOOR in action, their recent appearance on the variety show Weekly Idol is available with English subtitles. It offers a delightful insight into the group’s camaraderie, dynamics, and, of course, their music.
