Other details about Sixth Sense, such as its title track, concept photos, and number of songs, have yet to be released. 

But it can be recalled that The Boyz have earlier released posters for their PHANTASY trilogy. In which, the poster for Sixth Sense featured a drive-in theater. Moreover, it had a different vibe and concept as to the beach featured in the poster for Christmas in August. 

The Boyz’ PHANTASY trilogy

In July, IST Entertainment first revealed that the group’s second full-length album PHANTASY will be divided into three parts. 

Additionally, they noted that the three installments will all be released by the second half of 2023. The first part, Christmas in August, was released in August. 

As for its third installment, it will be titled Love Letter. For its sequence poster, Love Letter featured a field of snow. However, there’s no additional details yet about the third installment. 

PHANTASY serves as The Boyz’s first full-length album in more than three years following REVEAL, which was released in February 2020. As for their latest release prior to PHANTASY, it was the February 2023 mini-album BE AWAKE. 

Initially a 12-member boy group, The Boyz made their debut in December 2017. However, Hwall left in October 2019 due to health reasons. 

Currently, the group is composed of Sangyeon, Jacob, Hyunjae, Younghoon, Kevin, Juyeon, New, Q, Sunwoo, Ju Haknyeon, and Eric.

THE BOYZ’s Sunwoo Explains Why He Told THE B Not To Share ‘Dangerous’ Fan Cam Moment

Sunwoo had a surprising reason why he didn't want THE B to share an awesome moment from a fan cam

Sunwoo made a surprising confession about telling his fans what to do. The member of THE BOYZ recently opened up about asking THE B not to share a particular moment from the group’s concert. According to the idol, he was concerned that his fan had enhanced the image which could lead to disappointment when the truth is revealed. However, it looks like Kim Sun-woo had nothing to worry about.

Sunwoo Makes Unexpected Request To THE B About Infamous Fan Cam Moment

Younghoon, Eric, and Sunwoo from THE BOYZ recently graced the set of “The K-Star Next Door,” hosted by the charismatic TV personality and actor Jonathan Thona. In a lighthearted and candid conversation, the host couldn’t help but delve into some amusing and curious aspects of the members’ personalities.

Younghoon’s distinct fashion choice, particularly his penchant for not wearing pants, became a topic of discussion. Eric’s preference for going shirtless also sparked interest. However, the conversation took a humorous turn when the topic shifted to Sunwoo’s infamous “photoshopped abs” picture.

The host displayed the photo in question, which was captured during their electrifying “THE BOYZ 2ND WORLD TOUR: ZENERATION” concert in Bangkok. Sunwoo, known for his playful nature, decided to clarify his role as the member with the least pronounced muscles within the group. Yet, during the exact moment captured in the fan cam, Sunwoo couldn’t resist flexing to prove that he indeed had some muscles of his own.

Sunwoo then hilariously confessed that he initially believed fans had doctored the image to exaggerate the appearance of his muscles. It wasn’t until later that he realized the photo was unaltered. In a comical twist, he requested THE B not to reveal the original picture if it had been edited because he preferred not to know the unaltered truth.

When Jonathan brought up Sunwoo’s request, the member candidly admitted to making such a plea to fans and playfully suggested that it might be “dangerous” if the actual unedited photo surfaced. This delightful exchange showcased the humor and camaraderie within the group, endearing them even further to their fans.

THE BOYZ recently made their comeback with the track “Lip Gloss” on August 7, 2023.

Meanwhile, K-pop acts MAMAMOO, NCT DREAM, ITZY, IVE, NewJeans, and The Boyz are confirmed to be part of the new lineup.
