The Action

From their launch in 2023, K-pop six-piece BOYNEXTDOOR wrote many of their own lyrics, giving their feel-good, sometimes hip-hop-driven pop personality and precision. With their 2025 mini album *The Action*, members Sungho, Riwoo, Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan, and Woonhak blend the everyday observations that defined their early music with more insights into idol life. “No fancy red carpet, just/Gimme the spotlight and I can do anything,” Taesan raps on “Hollywood Action,” the EP’s uptempo, brass-infused lead single which compares BOYNEXTDOOR’s larger-than-life ambitions to a big-budget movie. BOYNEXTDOOR returns to more mundane, universal topics on the laidback hip-hop track “JAM!,” which is constructed like a stream-of-conscious hang session with friends, while guitar-driven track “Bathroom” has the singers looking for comfort after a relationship fight.
