BOYNEXTDOOR Goes VIRAL — “HOME” Tops iTunes Charts Worldwide & All Songs Land in Melon’s Top 30!

The boys next door just moved into the penthouse. BOYNEXTDOOR’s first-ever studio album “HOME” has taken the charts by storm since its release on June 8, 2026, at 6 PM KST. Not only did the album top iTunes charts across multiple regions, but every single track from HOME successfully entered the Top 30 of Melon’s Top 100 — a staggering achievement for the HYBE/KOZ Entertainment sextet.

With their previous EP “No Genre” putting all six songs in the Top 12 of Melon last year, HOME just raised the bar even higher with eight tracks in the Top 30.

HOME’s Melon Chart Domination — Every Track Ranked

10 The album was released on June 8, 2026, with “Viral” serving as the album’s title track. Here’s how every song performed on Melon’s Top 100 shortly after release:

For comparison, 1during their last comeback, BOYNEXTDOOR managed to chart five songs from “No Genre” in the top 10 of Melon’s Top 100 (and all six songs from the EP in the top 12). HOME continues that streak with even more songs charting simultaneously.

iTunes Domination — No. 1 Across the Globe

HOME followed the same global pattern as its predecessors. 1With “No Genre,” the group previously hit No. 1 on iTunes Top Albums charts in at least seven different regions, including Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Vietnam. HOME is expected to surpass that number with additional regions added to the tally.

What Makes “HOME” So Special?

3 The new release looks back on the journey of the “boys next door,” revisiting the emotions and memories they’ve gathered from their trainee days to the present, ultimately arriving at the people, moments, and feelings that have come to define “home.” 3 For the first time, all six members are credited across the songwriting, expanding their growing artistic involvement and creative evolution.

The Tracklist — What Each Song Means

13 The track “06070” tells stories from their trainee period, while “Remember Me” contains messages they wanted to share with their families. “I Wonder” serves as a serenade dedicated to fans. “Upside Down” captures the members’ determination to live each day without regrets, while “Dive” expresses the feeling of falling deeply for someone they love.

12 BoyNextDoor envisioned Home as a “very honest reflection” of themselves, seeking to show the group at their “most authentic and vulnerable”.

BOYNEXTDOOR’s Chart Growth — From Melon #89 to Total Domination

The group’s growth on Korean domestic charts has been nothing short of extraordinary:

2 Back in 2024, “Earth, Wind & Fire” debuted on Melon’s Top 100 at No. 89, making it their first song ever to enter the chart. 19 “The Action” became their third consecutive album to surpass 1 million sales. Meanwhile, “Hollywood Action” reached No. 2 on Melon’s Top 100, overtaking BOYNEXTDOOR’s previous highest ranking of No. 4 to set a new personal record for the group.

From not even charting on Melon to placing all eight tracks in the Top 30 — that’s a growth story few 4th-gen groups can match.

The “KNOCK ON Vol. 2” World Tour Is Next

12 KOZ announced the Knock On Vol.2 Tour in support of the album as the band’s second headlining concert tour. The tour will begin with its domestic leg starting in Seoul, South Korea, in July followed by a Japan leg spanning from August to September.

Why BOYNEXTDOOR’s Success Story Is Unique

16 Kim Jae-heun of The Korea Herald attributed the group’s success to their “engaging storytelling, strong performances, and TV variety show appeal”. 16 Characterized by its eponymous “boy next door” image, the group defines their work as easy listening with themes drawn from daily life.

What sets BOYNEXTDOOR apart from other 4th-gen groups is their authenticity. 16BoyNextDoor is a South Korean boy band formed by KOZ Entertainment in 2023. The group consists of six members: Sungho, Riwoo, Myung Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan, and Woonhak. Under the guidance of ZICO’s label, they’ve built a reputation for relatable, self-produced music that resonates with both Korean and global audiences.
