K-pop boy band BOYNEXTDOOR, composed of Sungho, Riwoo, Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan and Woonhak, dropped the pre-release track “Dangerous” and a music video on Sept. 2.

The song is a groovy yet powerful hip-hop track that captures the carefree charm and youthful exuberance of K-pop’s free-spirits. It narrates the story of sneaking out at night, exposing the secrets one would prefer to keep hidden from one’s parents.
Jaehyun, Taesan and Woonhak contributed to the composition and lyrics to directly translate their relatable real-life experiences into song.
The music video embodies the track’s narrative as it follows the six members’ sneaky attempt to take their parents' car keys and embark on a nighttime escape, only to ultimately drop them into a dumpster by accident, leading to a hectic midnight search.
The wild experience is live streamed on social media, capturing the essence of what it’s like to be a 19.99-year-old with kitschy, meme-like moments. The familiar settings, such as a family home, noraebang (karaoke room), and rooftop, also allow viewers to relate to and reminisce about their own youth.
BOYNEXTDOOR's “19.99, which candidly explores the immature yet innocent thoughts and dilemmas of youth at the cusp of adulthood, will be available on all streaming platforms worldwide at 6 p.m. KST on Sept. 9.
