K-pop boy band BOYNEXTDOOR held their first group concert since debut in South Korea and announced the release of their first digital single in January.
The boy band had their two sold-out kickoff shows of their first tour “Knock On Vol. 1” in Incheon on Dec. 14 and 15.
During the concert, they announced that they will release their first digital single “If I Say, I Love You” on Jan. 6.
"This comeback is 100% our decision. We've been working very hard to make this comeback happen in January for ONEDOOR. We believe that not only ONEDOOR, but also many others will love it,” BOYNEXTDOOR said.

The artwork for the digital single was also released, showing illustrations of a young boy going through his day-to-day activities, seemingly lost in thought and detached from what he's doing. The boy’s blank expression piques curiosity for what relatable story BOYNEXTDOOR will sing of next through their music.
At the concert, BOYNEXTDOOR (보이넥스트도어) opened the show with lead single “Earth, Wind & Fire” from their 2nd EP “HOW?.”
They continued to present an array of lead singles from their discography, including “But I Like You,” “But Sometimes,” “One and Only,” “Nice Guy,” and “Serenade.”
They kept the tracks as close to the original with minimal rearrangements, explaining, “Our goal was to fully showcase the band’s originality since this is our first ever concert. We wanted to recreate the emotions ONEDOOR (official fandom name) felt when they first heard our music.”
Delivering resonant live vocals amplified through handheld mics and impeccably synchronized performances, BOYNEXTDOOR solidified their recognition as the next generation of live performance powerhouses.
They captivated the audience and fueled excitement throughout the show with fan favorites—“Dangerous,” “OUR,” “Call Me,” “Crying,” “l i f e i s c o o l,” “Dear. My Darling,” and “Gonna Be A Rock.”

BOYNEXTDOOR also engaged the audience and invited them to sing along, creating a playful two-way experience.
Moving seamlessly across the interactive stage layout, the six members effortlessly hyped up the crowd with their energy and confidence, delivering their entire discography in performances that perfectly captured the unique mood of each song.
The performance of "ABCDLOVE" featured their newly revealed official character, BBNEXDO, which particularly left the audience in awe.
At the end of the concert, they said, “We're deeply thankful to everyone who has supported us and helped bring our paradise to life. We'll continue to move forward, and we believe our music and performances will only grow bigger from here as we’re just getting started on Vol.1. Wherever our music is needed, we'll be there. We hope our music becomes a part of your youth."
