BOYNEXTDOOR (members: Sungho, Riwoo, Myung Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan, and Unhak) is on a major rise, hitting new career highs both on album sales and digital charts!

Their 3rd mini-album’s title track, "Nice Guy," entered Melon’s daily chart at #86 on September 9. This is based on streaming and downloads within 24 hours, and it’s even more impressive considering the song dropped at 6 p.m., meaning it only had 18 hours to rack up those numbers! Along with that, their pre-release track "But I Like You," which came out on September 2, also made an appearance at #96.

While BOYNEXTDOOR had previously made it onto Melon’s real-time ‘Top 100,’ this marks the first time the group has cracked the daily chart, signaling a huge jump in their popularity.

Fans have been eagerly following the group ever since their April comeback with HOW?, and their growing fandom has clearly been making waves!

But it’s not just digital charts where BOYNEXTDOOR is slaying. Their 3rd mini album 19.99 sold a massive 609,666 copies on day one alone, setting a new record for the group, according to Hanteo Chart.

That’s a 56% jump from their previous release HOW?, which sold 531,911 copies in its first week — and now they’ve already blown past that in just one day!

Their music video for "Nice Guy" is also killing it, racking up over 10 million views on YouTube by 11 p.m. on its second day, September 10. It even ranked 8th on YouTube’s trending music charts as of 8 a.m. on September 11.

"Nice Guy" has that catchy, feel-good vibe that sticks with you after just one listen. The boys show off their confident, laid-back charm, fully believing they can capture anyone’s heart. Their youthful energy and expressive performances are making fans fall for them all over again!

BOYNEXTDOOR is keeping the momentum going with a live performance at the Hanyang Women's University festival in Seoul on September 11. It looks like there's no stopping them!
