The Boyz Triumph Over Bomb Scare in Epic Seoul Showdown!
The Boyz Dramatic Kickoff with Rock Twists and Massive Dance Vibes Whoa, talk about a plot twist right out of a thriller! The Boyz kicked off their three-day Seoul bash at the KSPO Dome from August 8 to 10, 2025, but the final day got seriously intense. Around 1:45 PM on August 10, a fax claiming explosives were planted hit the venue, causing a two-hour delay from 4 PM to 6 PM. Police and firefighters rushed in, evacuating about 300 fans and staff while they scoured the place top to bottom. Spoiler: it was all a hoax-no bombs found, just some bad vibes trying to steal the show. But these guys? They bounced back like pros, turning chaos into fuel for an unforgettable night. Blasting off with 'Trigger,' they cranked up rock-infused remixes of 'The Stealer' and 'Maverick,' teaming up with dozens of dancers for a mega crew performance that had the crowd roaring louder than ever. 'We've been grinding non-stop to deliver stages you'll never forget-no regrets here!' they hyped, setting the tone for pure adrenaline. The hits kept coming with 'Watch It,' 'Roar,' and 'Ain't Salty,' keeping everyone on their toes. Then came the unit stages that stole hearts: Sunwoo and Eric sliding smooth with 'Honey,' Jacob, Juyeon, Kevin, Sunwoo, and Eric jamming on 'Feel The Bass,' and the fresh debut choreography for 'bAd.' These bite-sized moments felt like insider secrets, adding layers of fun and connection that made the massive arena feel intimate. Cooling Down the Heat with Fresh Beats and High-Octane Thrills Shifting gears to shake off that summer steam, The Boyz dropped into cooler territory with tracks like 'Fantasy Confession,' 'Hurt Me Less,' and 'Nectar,' bringing a refreshing wave that had fans swaying and smiling. The real gem? A brand-new band unit track called 'Dazzling Together, Clumsy but Beautiful' from Jacob, Younghoon, Kevin, New, and Q-it's the kind of feel-good tune that sticks in your head long after the lights go out, blending clumsy charm with sparkling harmony. Living up to their rep as the ultimate 'performance powerhouse,' they ramped it back up with fierce numbers like 'Stylish,' 'Bite Back,' and 'Breaking Dawn,' where the energy was so electric it could light up the city. The climax hit with the world-premiere of Hyunjae, Sunwoo, and Juyeon's 'Tiger' stage, all fierce moves and laser-sharp sync that left jaws on the floor. As things wound down, they powered through 'Thrill Ride,' 'D.D.D,' and 'Aura,' and on the first night, they snuck in a birthday cake surprise for Younghoon, turning the vibe all warm and fuzzy amid the high-stakes action. It was like a perfect mix of edge-of-your-seat excitement and those sweet, unexpected feels that make live shows legendary. Encore Emotions and Turning Chaos into Shared Victory The encore? Absolute magic as the crowd's chants pulled them back onstage for 'Breath (Horizon),' 'All About You,' and 'Love! We've Already Crossed the Line.' They got real, sharing, 'We had tons of worries prepping this, but your energy flips it all-thanks for loving it exactly how we dreamed!' And that heartfelt closer: 'The show's wrapping, but we're in your corner for all those everyday battles.' They sealed it with 'Julie's Law (Fantasize),' and on the last night, threw in extras like 'Timeless' and 'Fire Eyes' for that extra punch of emotion. This wasn't your average gig-it was the launch of their fourth world tour, loaded with clever details like those rock rearrangements, epic crew dances, top-notch videos, and custom logos for every song that screamed attention to detail. Fans matched the intensity with non-stop cheers, making it a collective win. Oh, and amid all that, they navigated member Ju Haknyeon's exit for personal reasons plus that bomb scare like total champs, showing off resilience that's straight-up inspiring for anyone facing curveballs. Future Flames and Why This Tour's a Game-Changer With Seoul locked down, The Boyz are charging ahead to Yokohama's Pia Arena on August 23, then hitting spots like Nagoya, Kobe, Tokyo, and beyond across Asia and the US. It's all about spreading that global fire, proving music's power to connect and uplift, especially when life throws hoaxes your way. No specific ticket deets here, but these shows are known for packing value with their high-production flair-definitely worth catching if you're into that non-stop K-pop rush.

‘You need a lesson': Nana doubles down on criticism of THE BOYZ's Sunwoo over viral video with guard (VIDEO)
SEOUL, April 13 — Actress and former After School member Nana has reportedly stood by her criticism of THE BOYZ's Sunwoo, after a viral video of the idol sparked controversy over his behaviour toward a security guard. According to a report in The Korea Times, the footage, which circulated widely on social media, was said to show Sunwoo dropping his wireless earbuds and remaining still as a security guard picked them up and returned them using both hands. Sunwoo reportedly accepts them with one hand, without bowing or visibly thanking the guard — a gesture netizens have called disrespectful. 'He needs to be scolded,' Nana was reported to have commented under a post of the video. In response to fan backlash, she later doubled down in another comment, reportedly saying, 'Where did you learn to act like that? You can tell everything from one thing.'

The Boyz bring out LP No. 3
The Boyz made a comeback with third full-length album 'Unexpected' on Monday. As the album title suggests, the band has explored new genres and concepts for the album and the members are happy with the results. Although they are bringing out a new album in less than five months, a short term in K-pop cycle, the bandmates were more excited than concerned, Kevin said as they could 'feel how everyone was serious about music.' The fact that it is their first set after signing with new agency, One Hundred, in December, was not much of a factor in putting together an LP. 'It was more about wanting to make another memory as a full group,' said Sunwoo. Lead single 'VVV' best sums up the album and 'the music video and the choreography inspired by boxing are really cool,' according to Sangyeon. He will not be able to promote the album, however, as he is enlisting on the day of album release. He will serve as a member of Army marching band.
