BOYNEXTDOOR, also drawing global attention.

"BOYNEXTDOOR, also drawing global attention... Riding high on popularity with word of mouth" The boy group BOYNEXTDOOR (BOYNEXTDOOR, Seongho, Ryu, Myeongjaehyun, Taesan, Lee Han, and Unhak) is currently making a successful ascent in popularity, garnering attention on Spotify.

On the 2nd, BOYNEXTDOOR surpassed 2 million monthly listeners (the number of listeners in the past 28 days) on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform. This figure represents an impressive increase of about 80% compared to the previous month's listeners (approximately 1.12 million) following the release of their mini-album 'HOW?' on April 16th. 

Their title track 'Earth, Wind & Fire' entered the Spotify 'Global Viral 50' chart (as of April 29th) at 42nd place and also ranked 9th on the 'Korea Viral 50' chart compiled on the same day. These charts reflect not only streaming figures but also the buzz generated by songs with rapidly increasing plays or frequently shared by the public. The fact that 'Earth, Wind & Fire' entered the 'Viral' charts indicates that the song has begun to garner attention worldwide, extending beyond Korea.

Furthermore, according to Spotify data as of May 3rd, the cumulative play count of 15 tracks, including songs from the three albums released by BOYNEXTDOOR in Korea and OSTs, has exceeded 100 million plays. This achievement was accomplished in approximately 11 months since their debut on May 30th last year.
