BOYNEXTDOOR Makes a Comeback With Playful Music Video for New Track, ‘Nice Guy’

K-pop boyband BOYNEXTDOOR have returned with their third mini-album, ‘19.99,’ featuring the lead single ‘Nice Guy.’

In the playful music video for ‘Nice Guy,’ the group is seen working at a pizza parlour, spreading joy to their customers. They later head out to make deliveries, dancing through the streets as they stop at each destination.

Along with ‘Nice Guy,’ the new album features an English version of the track, the pre-release single ‘Dangerous,’ and songs like ‘Gonna Be a Rock,’ ‘20,’ and ‘Call Me.’ The title ‘19.99’ symbolizes the transition into adulthood, just before turning 20.

“When I thought about turning 20, I felt both fear and pressure because I thought I had to mature quickly,” said member Woonhak. “I discussed these worries with the members and the agency’s producers, and such thoughts that only those our age can have were naturally incorporated into the album.”

The group shared that they aimed to infuse their music with personal stories and experiences. “Even when the tracks don’t contain direct personal experiences, we exert efforts to create music that can resonate with listeners in their 10s and 20s,” said member Taesan.

BOYNEXTDOOR made their debut in May 2023 with the three-track single album Who! under HYBE Labels’ KOZ Entertainment, founded by rapper and Block B member Zico.
