After a string of sold-out concerts across Korea and Japan, K-pop boy band BOYNEXTDOOR have brought their first world tour, KNOCK ON Vol. 2, to North America. The tour’s 10-city North American leg kicked off in Dallas on October 30 and most recently stopped in New York City, where the group’s six members Sungho, Riwoo, Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan and Woonhak performed for thousands of fans at Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden on November 7.
The tour follows sold-out shows in Seoul, Busan, Osaka, Chiba and Nagano earlier this year, with upcoming performances in Taiwan and Hong Kong in 2027 having already sold out as well.
BOYNEXTDOOR debuted in 2023 under KOZ ENTERTAINMENT, a HYBE subsidiary founded by Korean rapper and producer Zico. In an already crowded K-pop landscape, the sextet quickly set themselves apart by co-writing and co-producing many of their songs. Like their name that reflects their approachable “boy next door” image, the group focuses on creating music that feels authentic, relatable and rooted in everyday experiences.
Within just a few years, six of their albums have entered the Billboard 200—four of which have sold over a million copies each—and the group has performed at Lollapalooza Chicago. In recent months BOYNEXTDOOR released HOME: DELUXE, a repackaged edition of their first studio album HOME, and launched their own video podcast series DAMN!BULANCE on STAN:A, HYBE Media Studio’s original video podcast channel.
