BOYNEXTDOOR Wraps Up Seoul Shows of First World Tour 'KNOCK ON Vol.2' — "The No.1 Reason We Perform
BOYNEXTDOOR has officially kicked off their very first world tour. 'BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR 'KNOCK ON Vol.2' IN SEOUL' ran for three days from July 17 to 19 at KSPO DOME in Olympic Park, Seoul — and it was quite the send-off. All three shows sold out, drawing a total of 31,800 fans, while the online live stream reached audiences in 57 countries and regions. Back at KSPO DOME After a Year — This Time as a Starting Line Almost exactly a year ago, BOYNEXTDOOR closed out their first solo tour 'KNOCK ON Vol.1' at this very venue. Returning to the same stage, the meaning couldn't be more different: this time it's not an ending but a beginning. The Seoul shows mark the launch of a world tour spanning 24 cities and 35 performances across Busan, Japan, North America, and Asia. Coming just about a month after the release of their first full-length album 'HOME', the concerts also served as the live debut for the new album's tracks. "The No.1 Reason We Perform Is ONEDOOR" On the final night, the members poured out their hearts to their fandom, ONEDOOR. Taesan named ONEDOOR as the number one reason they take the stage, and got fans laughing with "We promised to be together for 400 years — 397 to go." He shared that while preparing the concert, the members kept imagining where fans would cheer, and the love they received exceeded every expectation. Sungho candidly admitted that after every show, he nervously checks Weverse on the way home, worried about whether ONEDOOR truly enjoyed it — hoping fans will keep coming to their concerts for as long as they keep working this hard. A Tearful Leader, and a Group That Feels Like Family Jaehyun's story from the night before was a touching one. He teared up after the show when the members hugged him, realizing just how much love he was receiving. As the leader, the eldest, and their closest friend, he said he wants to protect this team for a long time. "We can't exist without you," he told fans, adding that he chooses to believe ONEDOOR will love them for the full 400 years. Leehan recalled Jaehyun hugging him back at the dorm and summed it up simply: "That's how much we're family." He also confessed he'd happily do nothing but eat and perform concerts every single day. Riwoo added that despite standing on countless stages, a room filled with only ONEDOOR is his favorite place — wherever he looks, there are loving eyes looking back. Next Stop: Busan — Their First-Ever Show There Maknae Woonhak said the goal of every performance is to give ONEDOOR a special day, and that he'd waited an entire concert-less year for this moment. He left fans with a promise: "Let's meet in Seoul again — it won't take long." The tour heat now moves to Busan. 'BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR 'KNOCK ON Vol.2' IN BUSAN' runs for three days from July 31 to August 2 at Busan Sajik Arena — making it the group's first-ever solo concert in Busan, which adds extra meaning. With three electric nights in Seoul behind them, this first world tour is one to keep watching.
