BOYNEXTDOOR is knocking—and they didn’t bother to warn you first.
The six-member group (SUNGHO, RIWOO, JAEHYUN, TAESAN, LEEHAN, and WOONHAK) dropped their pre-release single “ddok ddok ddok” —the Korean equivalent of “knock knock”—without prior notice, mirroring the song’s narrative of unexpected arrivals. The track offers the first glimpse into their upcoming first studio album HOME, arriving June 8.
“ddok ddok ddok” transforms the familiar sound of knocking into the driving force of a playful, high-energy hip-hop track. Doorbells, knocks, and doors swinging open are layered into the production, while sharp synths add a modern edge. JAEHYUN, TAESAN, and WOONHAK participated in writing the track, bringing the group’s signature conversational storytelling to the forefront.
The choreography balances precision with spontaneity, blending tightly synchronized moves with loose, free-flowing gestures. The recurring “ddok ddok ddok” hook comes alive through clever knocking motions, creating an instantly recognizable choreographic hook that builds to a high-impact group sequence.
Set against the tension of a high-stakes game of tag with intruders, the music video sees the members moving through chaos with cool, unbothered confidence. Scenes transition across Seoul’s urban landscapes, while black-and-white sequences and bold CGI—including members falling from the sky—add visual punch.
Set for release June 8, HOME reflects on BOYNEXTDOOR’s journey as the “boys next door,” revisiting the emotions and memories they’ve gathered along the way. Framed less as a physical place and more as a feeling, the album captures the group at their most open and self-defined.
BOYNEXTDOOR has built a career on turning ordinary experiences into relatable, honest songs. “ddok ddok ddok” continues that streak—playful, instinctive, and impossible to ignore. Consider this your invitation. The door is open.
“ddok ddok ddok” is now available worldwide on all streaming platforms. HOME arrives June 8 at 6 PM KST.
