00:00♪ Isn't she lovely? ♪
00:02Come on!
00:03It's so good!
00:05Who is the nice guy with the most ribs here?
00:07Who's got it?
00:08We all.
00:09Me.
00:10You?
00:11Hi, we are BOY NEXT DOOR.
00:13And this is...
00:14Billboard News.
00:16Yeah, come on.
00:25Hey, what's up? It's Tetris with Billboard News,
00:27hanging out with BOY NEXT DOOR.
00:28How's it going, fellas?
00:29Yeah!
00:31Good to see you, Billboard.
00:32So you guys have a busy, busy time right now.
00:35You just recently announced your new album,
00:3719.99.
00:39Yeah, that's right.
00:41So tell me about the album and tell me about the title.
00:43Because why 19.99?
01:00We're watching the growth.
01:02Yeah, that's right.
01:06This album is especially involved a lot of our story.
01:12Like, our true stories.
01:14We felt a lot of, like, some kind of pain,
01:19some kind of happy, and some kind of thankful.
01:23We always feel pain of growing,
01:26so that is our album's story.
01:29And I mean, you're covering a lot of emotions there.
01:32And the pre-release track was called Dangerous.
01:35Yeah, that's right.
01:36Tell me about that song
01:37and why that was the perfect song to kind of set the tone.
01:56When I was young, I didn't listen to my mom.
02:00I just hung out with my friends and had fun.
02:05I wanted to express that kind of emotions
02:08in Boynexter's own way.
02:13Oh, you guys are really giving both sides
02:15because that's Dangerous.
02:16But then, the main single, Nice Guy.
02:19Nice Guy.
02:24So tell me about Nice Guy.
02:26I think Nice Guy and Dangerous,
02:29I think that lyrics is really funny and witty.
02:34But I think if we were, like, 30 or 40 age,
02:39if we were 30, 40, I think that lyrics is not that funny.
02:43Oh, mom, I'm not going to home.
02:45I don't want to go to home.
02:46I think that is not funny.
02:48But we are 20 or, like, 19 or 17.
02:54So I think that point is really good point.
02:57And Nice Guy is flirt to someone.
03:02Okay, so, but who is the nice guy with the most rizz here?
03:04Who's got it?
03:05We all.
03:06Me.
03:07You?
03:08I think we are different kind of nice guy.
03:10Everybody's different. Everybody's got their own side.
03:16Talk to me about the music videos for both Dangerous and Nice Guy.
03:19How was to film the videos for the project?
03:24I think the music video for both of them is very Korean.
03:33But for Nice Guy, I think it's more exotic and foreign.
03:40So I think that's why I think it's more attractive.
03:46What was your favorite of the two music videos?
03:48I think Nice Guy.
03:50Nice Guy.
03:51Yeah, I mean, I also love you talking about all these kind of different subjects that you're exploring.
03:55You guys write and produce a lot of your own music.
03:57So tell me about the creative process and how you approach making it.
04:21This album producing process was different by the other.
04:51Albums because I don't have an inspiration.
04:54So because it's inspired by myself.
04:59So please, please check out our lyrics and mood.
05:05This album is really about us going next to our story.
05:12And let's talk about how excited your fans are for this new music.
05:15You guys got to see your fans pretty recently.
05:17I saw you guys over at KCON.
05:19So tell me how that experience was in being in front of all these people.
05:29Wow, so amazing and beautiful.
05:34It's a good memorable memories.
05:37Oh, I think LA fans, LA fans energy is best of three.
05:42My life.
05:44Nice, man.
05:46Well, the LA fans are going to be really happy when they hear that.
05:48Yeah, energy is boom.
05:50This energy is my top, my top.
05:53I love that.
05:54And then how was it to be around all the other idols and groups that were there at KCON?
06:18This time, I felt at that point, I think from now that K-pop is not just a genre.
06:25K-pop growing up like a culture and K-pop.
06:30KCON was, it was a festival, but I felt a lot of Korean culture.
06:35And they love Korean culture.
06:37KCON has K-webtoon and Korean style food.
06:41And K-pop, it was so impressive.
06:45Yeah, it really is impressive.
06:47And then now that you guys are, of course, seeing other groups.
06:50And what are you listening to?
06:52Like, what are some of your inspirations lately?
06:54I've heard some of you guys, what you listen to.
06:56There's a lot.
06:57Yes, a lot.

07:19So, like, who would your dream collaborators be?
07:22If you can get Stevie Wonder, I mean, that would be great.

07:39I want to talk about a couple other things you guys have been up to.
