BOYNEXTDOOR Returns with 5th EP The Action
Introduction
BOYNEXTDOOR is gearing up for their next big moment — their 5th EP The Action, dropping on October 20, 2025. With this release, they lean further into a vivid, cinematic concept that blends their youthful energy with storytelling flair. Let’s dive into everything we know so far.
Comeback Concept & Teaser Campaign
🎬 Film Crew Theme: “Team The Action”
One of the standout aspects of this comeback is the narrative they’re weaving: BOYNEXTDOOR is portraying themselves as a film production crew called Team The Action. In teaser materials, the members appear in roles behind the scenes — lights, cameras, direction — blurring the lines between their real selves and this cinematic world.
Their teaser trailer also includes symbolic wardrobe cues (like hoodies) that tie into their journey.
Promos gradually introduced three visual themes: Play, Loading, and Pause — each hinting at different moods or states in their cinematic metaphor.

Album Details
Tracklist & Themes
Based on current info from public sources:
- Live In Paris

- 있잖아 (As Time Goes By)
- Hollywood Action is a bold, confident anthem about embracing your role and owning your stage.
- The other songs cover a mix of moods: all-nighters and distance in “Live In Paris,” the emotional conflict in “Bathroom,” jam session vibes in “JAM!,” and a poignant closer in “As Time Goes By.”
- The members (Jaehyun, Taesan, Woonhak) took part in writing and producing along with longtime collaborators Pop Time, Kako, Zico, and others.
- The EP runs about 12 minutes and 56 seconds total.

Fan Expectations
After their April 2025 EP No Genre sold over a million copies, fans are highly anticipating how BOYNEXTDOOR will evolve.
The film‑crew storytelling concept may allow them to push creative boundaries — blending visuals, narrative, and music more cohesively.
Given their track record of member participation in production and consistent growth, expectations are high for depth and authenticity.
Historically, BOYNEXTDOOR’s earlier EPs like HOW?, 19.99, and No Genre showcased both emotional storytelling and genre flexibility.
This comeback feels like a chance to reassert their identity with a mature, cinematic twist.
Summary
The Action marks a visually rich and musically layered return for BOYNEXTDOOR. With a strong concept, member involvement in composing/production, and multiple collectible versions, this comeback promises excitement for fans and collectors alike.
