Hype Malaysia07-07-2025
Since leaving their previous agency, K-pop group THE BOYZ (더보이즈) have taken charge of their sound, creating music that feels more raw, bold, and connected to their fans than ever before. Four months after their last major album, the group is back with new music!
Following Ju Haknyeon (주학년)'s departure from the group on the 18th June (Wednesday), fans began to question the group's next move. To the surprise of many, THE BOYZ quickly released a trailer for their upcoming mini album 'a; effect'. This marks their first album as a 9-member group, with leader Sangyeon (상연) currently fulfilling his military service.
THE BOYZ debuted in 2017 under their former agency, IST Entertainment, with the mini-album 'The First' showcasing tight performances and strong teamwork. They quickly gained traction and released hit songs like 'The Stealer', 'Reveal', and 'No Air'. In late 2024, their contract with IST expired and all members signed with a new agency, One Hundred.
Set for release on the 28th July (Monday), the new album seems to showcase a more nostalgic vibe, embracing the youthful and boyish energy of the group. The teaser film for 'a;effect' hints at a return to their earlier, more innocent concepts, possibly drawing inspiration from their debut era. This shift suggests a deliberate move to reconnect with fans through a more familiar and heartfelt aesthetic.
With their new album and the highly anticipated 'THE BLAZE' tour scheduled for later this year, THE BOYZ showcase their resilience and passion like never before. Even through challenges, they maintain an impressive level of energy and commitment, proving their strength as a group.
THE BOYZ's steadfast dedication assures THE B (THE BOYZ fans) that the group will continue to deliver memorable performances and sincere music. Are you ready to discover what THE BOYZ have planned next?

(Video) Fans Coo Over Adorable Interaction Between ATEEZ's Wooyoung & Service Dog

Many K-pop idols have gone viral for their fan interactions, some for hilarious reasons and others for heartwarming ones. However, ATEEZ (에이티즈) member Wooyoung (우영) recently melted hearts with his interaction with a four-legged friend. Earlier this week, ATEEZ completed the Tacoma stop of their 'ATEEZ 2025 WORLD TOUR [IN YOUR FANTASY]' world tour in the United States. After the show, the group and selected fans participated in the sendoff segment. During the session, Wooyoung came across a fan's service dog and began interacting with the animal. Fans at the sendoff shared the videos online and quickly went viral amongst K-pop fans. The service dog named Felix was at the sendoff to accompany an ATINY (ATEEZ fan) with a disability. However, with the owner's permission, Wooyoung was allowed to interact with and pet Felix. The idol even tried to get Felix to do some tricks and was surprised when the dog followed his instructions. Fans have reacted to Wooyoung and Felix's wholesome interaction, with many cooing over it. Some also said the moment highlights the idol's sweet and caring personality. For those wondering, a service dog is a dog trained to perform tasks that mitigate the effects of a person's disability. Service dogs are considered working animals, and their training directly relates to the individual's specific disability. In the US, service dogs and other service animals are allowed to enter public spaces, including concert halls and stadiums, under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Felix's owner also shared more information, revealing that the dog is trained in cardiac alert and item retrieval. While Felix was at the concert for work, his owner allowed the ATEEZ members to say hi and pet Felix if they wanted to. The owner also mentioned that, besides Wooyoung, a few other members interacted with Felix. At the same time, she also warned against interacting with service dogs unprompted, as it may be dangerous. We're glad that Wooyoung was able to interact with Felix safely. Like many others, we also found the wholesome moment very heartwarming. Here are a few clips from the interaction: Sources: Twitter (1)(2)
