Boy band BoyNextDoor will release a new Japanese digital single this month, followed by a repackaged version of its first full-length album in September, its agency KOZ Entertainment said on Monday.

The group announced that its second digital single would be released on Aug. 18 during its concerts in Busan, which took place from Friday through Sunday.

The release will mark BoyNextDoor’s first Japanese project in exactly a year after its second Japanese digital single, “Boylife,” was released last Aug. 18.

The band also announced that a repackaged version of its first full-length album, “Home,” will be released on Sept. 28. The original album came out on June 8.

BoyNextDoor debuted in 2023 and is known for songs such as “But I Like You” (2023), “Earth, Wind & Fire” (2024) and “If I Say, I Love You” (2025).

The sextet will kick off the Japan leg of its “Knock On Vol. 2” world tour with concerts in Kanagawa on Aug. 21, 22 and 23. The tour is BoyNextDoor’s first world tour and began in Seoul on July 17.
