The Japanese single, titled 今日だけ I LOVE YOU (Kyōdake I LOVE YOU), will drop digitally on January 31, giving fans another reason to celebrate.

One and Only I LOVE YOU quickly became a sensation after its Korean release on January 6.

It also topped Line Music’s “Daily Top Songs” chart on January 9, proving the group’s growing influence in the region.

But that’s not all! BOYNEXTDOOR is keeping their Japanese fans engaged with a special pop-up store event. The BOYNEXTDOOR POP-UP STORE ‘KNOCK ON Vol.1’ will feature exclusive merchandise and fun items related to their adorable mascot, “Ppeunectdo.” The pop-up will be open in Tokyo from January 25 to February 5 and in Osaka from February 1 to February 9.
