I want to talk about BoyNextDoor

This group debuted under KOZ Entertainment, Zico's label in HYBE, on May 30, 2023 and all six boys were already beasts.

Every song they've released has been S-class tier, in my opinion. Finger-licking good pop rock music with an oldies bend to it, god-tier choreography with that emphasis in performance quality that HYBE groups are known for, and frankly adorable, sweet personalities to boot. The boys have real chemistry and are legitimately talented. I'd say almost at the stage BTS were at debut. Though I could be biased.

Anyway, I think to understand what BND is, you first need to understand who Zico is.

There's no other rapper that best exemplifies the funky gutter musicality of khh than Zico. It's groove with an edge to it. Easy swag paired with barely contained energy. That's what drives Zico's flow and rhythm in his songs and dancing style. Zico is the artist all the male idols you know are bumping to in their dorms. He's not a saint, he's simply the best at what he does IMO. And it's clear all six members of BND adore him, look up to him, and are aiming to do their best to not let him down. And I find that sweet as hell.

BoyNextDoor is what happens when Zico does 'cute'. It's bright, gritty, fun, and funky at the same time.

Plus, their music and choreography is straight flames. I won't bore you with text. Listen and watch it for yourself. Find somewhere comfortable to sit and pay attention please.

That was all from their debut single album and all three songs are outstanding releases. BND is easily the best debut group or rookie in 2023 though Kiss of Life is a very close second. Their 1st comeback was on September 4, 2023 and again there isn't a single skip (although Crying comes close to being one lol).

I love the video and directing style in their MVs. The way they incorporate an actual physical door into their choreographies and MVs, is unique and interesting - BND is one reason I've been able to say that about a k-pop song this year. The boys' vocals are exceptional and perfect for the style of music they're pursuing too. And again, they can actually dance and perform.

The music is untouchable by the way.

Again, see for yourself:

Are you hearing that outro?? Jaehyun's voice? Christ.

I think BoyNextDoor is the best rookie group this year, their music is amazing, and that you should give them a good listen. Their performances are also fun to watch and you might find yourself impressed at their choreographies.

If you're interested in changing the subject, I'd love your thoughts on earth, wind, and fire and bnd's comeback! I wasn't sure if you've talked about it already and tried to search for it unsuccessfully so I thought I'd ask

***

Lol, thank you for this.

BOYNEXTDOOR is the truth. Those boys are chuck full of talent, energy, and are oh so fun. Zico is doing an amazing job with them (despite the pressure from HYBE to beat expectations). I appreciate they already have a distinct sound - some earlier posts where I talk about it and them are linked here and here.

Earth, Wind, and Fire is a complete trip. If it was released by an SM group, the k-pop connoisseurs would be calling it "camp". Lol anyway, for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, you can check out their MV here:

And the Studio Choom here:

Their HOW album is a solid 7.7/10 from me.
