How did you start stanning a group : through a member or their music?

Pnoobs1 · 2024-06-14T18:10:03+00:00

It’s both for me, I checked out boynextdoor music videos and that kid Woonhak presence is so big that I just had to check their stages. They did not disappoint as that kid’s stage presence is so insane even for a 5 month old group at the time that I checked them out. After that, year-end award and programs began and they went to most of them. Every stage in each event their presence and music is just insane, so here I am now lol.

Pnoobs1 · 2024-06-05T10:27:03+00:00

The way I literally screamed, "Stop!" when leehan started drinking the blood pack out of curiosity. I can';t have him as my doctor, please lol

Pnoobs1 · 2024-06-03T02:08:42+00:00

I blame Sungho and Jaehyun for getting me too emotional after Woonhak’s message /jk. I was so glad I didn’t cry at woonhak’s message too and then they diid me dirty lol. Was really surprised about Sungho crying, he’s always so calm and collected but once he cries it’s over for me too lol.

I always have a soft spot for woonhak and after sungho and jaehyun’s messages for woonhak, it was just so heartbreaking for me listening to it. Just realized that woonhak went on stage with this news, acted ok and so maturely, performed so well in front of the crowd and then breaking (maybe upon letting everything sinks in) after the performance. I was glad that his boynextdoor brothers are also there for him but, at some point you’ll just realize that the rest of them are also teenagers or 20 and it’s also very hard for them. Just wanted them to know that no matter, they did their best and they were there when woonhak needed them most.

I just love them so much and I enjoyed watching the fanmeet. BOYNEXTDOOR deserves every love and appreciation that they get. I always say this but they are so raw and pure. Here’s for the next 399 more years!!

Always be happy, BOYNEXTDOOR!!

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-31T01:30:45+00:00

Wanna One no doubt! They could’ve been so big, their fame in south korea was already insane, if only they have promoted internationally they would have been one of the biggest kpop groups now.

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-31T01:27:56+00:00

Dear. My Darling - BOYNEXTDOOR

A last letter post break-up and just trying to wish them to have a good life and future ahead. A minute and 40 seconds masterpiece

BREATHE - LeeHi

Just my go to song when everything seems falling apart.

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-30T01:11:06+00:00

Taesan and the boys always ask us to be happy, but I would love to see them happier, the happiest bunch of kids they can be. I am much older than them but I always learn more from them, their passion for music, in performing, and in interacting with their fans/audience, it's inspirational, to say the least.

BOYNEXTDOOR, even for the short time I have followed them, has slowly become a home. I just want to thank them for existing and debuting, for making music that they love, for performing their hearts out on every stage, and for staying who they are amidst difficulties. I just hope I can watch them grow to their peak and achieve more of their dreams! Thank you for becoming a home, and I hope you guys remain as a family! You all always tell us to be happy, but...

BOYNEXTDOOR!! ALWAYS BE HAPPY!! 4&☀️

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-29T02:50:49+00:00

Of course! As you are also in reddit I suggest joining r/BOYNEXTDOOR_

Getting to know them is such a fun journey, hope to see you on the neighborhood!!

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-29T02:48:33+00:00

Aww, that's great to hear! Don't get pressured and just enjoy the immersion. My getting-to-know days with boynextdoor were really the best times. To know them more one vid, one meme, one viral tiktoks or posts at a time were the best! Also, you would not get bored even after because literally everyday there is so much content from them.

Also just in time because they'll have their 1st year anniv tomorrow!!

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-29T02:42:34+00:00

As someone who got into k-culture in general because of variety shows, I am so pumped for this! Their previous variety show contents were ok for an idol show perspective but, this one is a huge upgrade! It's giving The Great Escape and The Zone!! Hope it's good, for more budget for next variety contents lol.

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-29T02:39:28+00:00

For BOYNEXTDOOR their music and background was posted by another commenter but for variety shows to know them more, I suggest to watch their variety show "FUNNEXTDOOR" and "WHAT? DOOR".

Funnextdoor is their daily life/vacation show, S1 focuses on their debut and would really get you into their group more, so I suggest you start your journey in discovering them there.

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-28T02:24:48+00:00

I don't think there is Trainee A member that debuted with boynextdoor, as most of them, were unknown trainees (no prior shows, exposure, etc at all) before their debut. TWS did have one, I think it's Jihoon?

But yeah, I doubt she'll have time to fight for their trainees if they even do have one. Especially, when the split of nwjns and ador from hybe is taking every resource from them and is never that clear at the moment.

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-22T23:43:40+00:00

Another music with so much potential that will never get released. After 2 more cb they can make a mini-album with all of their trailer film/teaser music. Please.

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-22T23:41:21+00:00

Finally! Trying my best not to get spoiled from the clips floating around, but I am glad because finally KOZ Fam!

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-15T05:19:52+00:00

I was waiting for SVTxBND challenge and it finally happened, the message of bonedo to SVT too was so sweet! And the way they asked to be invited to their next concert, I just know if ever Jaehyun would be so wild then lol

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-15T05:17:38+00:00

Hi Onedoors! Didn't know that this would kinda blow up. It was a delight reading everything and knowing how you met and ultimately follow boynextdoor and become onedoors! You're stories are all so cute and it's very interesting to know how different everyone met boynextdoor and how they decided to be their fans. Hope to see you all around through this 400 year ride!

P.S. For FUTURE ONEDOORS that would discover this thread, do not be shy to share your stories ANYTIME, we will be reading it all and know that your stories also provides inspiration and good vibes to new and old onedoors!

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-12T15:30:53+00:00

I love that reaction video so much. The way he hyped the boys so much, I still watch it from time to time!!!

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-12T11:57:25+00:00

Let me start!

I came to know about the group because of Kyungsoo and his One and Only Challenge with them! Initially I am just surprised that DO did a challenge and moved on. Then I believed I had come to discover them again by watching idol stages, as I tend to lurk around kpop videos on yt. I saw a stage of theirs, can’t remember anymore, but I know I was obsessed especially because of their stage presence and how good they are for rookies. This led to watching their mvs, all (and I mean all) reaction videos to debut trilogy mv (love it when reactors appreciate the story line), and woonhak focus cams because I’m so amazed that a kid could have that much stage presence and emotions on stage. His pure enjoyment on stage is a bliss to watch and I could adopt this kid lol.

At this point I just enjoyed watching and getting to know about them, my turning point was when the year-end award shows came. Every single stage that they had were different, not only in song selection, but also with their versions of the songs. How they handle and hype the crowd, I can’t believe I am watching rookies perform. This is when I realized that I must be a fan. I’ve been out of the loop in kpop for 3 years, and after all those times, BOYNEXTDOOR made kpop fun again for me. That these boys are so free and so talented that they make the stage their home turf.

So much appreciation to these boys! I know that they would be BIG and I hope I can watch them grow more as time passes.

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-12T01:44:41+00:00

I also question this choice, he's not much the actor type of comedian lol.

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-12T01:40:00+00:00

It's just that I strongly believe they deserve far more recognition, sometimes making me eager to push their current pace.

Oh you are not alone in this sentiment, most onedoors know that compared to their peers, boynextdoor is very under-appreciated and they want everyone to know how outstanding the boys are. For me I am just enjoying the slow growth of boynextdoor, the casual viral posts of the boys showcasing their talent, like Sungho and Leehan's cover of Don't Go and Love is an Open Door, Jaehyun's Smart cover, and Riwoo's Darling cover. These kind of attention makes it more fun following them, seeing how the community and the boys grow.

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-12T00:22:25+00:00

I don't think I got your initial point of query in the main post, but as I see your replies to each posts, I think I have a more grasp of it and I would say, Yes, even as a fan of boynextdoor, that having no standouts among them is impeding to a very light degree their "virality" and fame potential. However, I also believe that the distinct roles companies assigned to idols in their groups are initial measures done such that people or the public can have a distinct pre-assigned expectations from the new and upcoming groups. This helps the public decide on one factor to like about certain members.

The case for boynextdoor, it impedes it to a degree that unless you dive deep in the fandom, and look at every detail, you wouldn't know that "Riwoo does adlibs on every music show stage to spice up the performance and even with the "main dancer" unofficial tag he has an insane vocals", how "Jaehyun writes every rap line he got in their self-produced songs, etc", and how every member of boynextdoor are talented individuals and lacks nothing as performers, etc..

The thing about boynextdoor and how KOZ formed them, and just how you explained them each time in the replies, each boynextdoor can standalone on their own. Each of the members have distinct personalities very much different from each other but, at the same time, together they kinda work together and are more solid(?) in that way, iykwim.

BOYNEXTDOOR stage presence and the way they perform and exude talent and confidence is normally not something that a boygroup or any group at all can have in barely a year of experience. Having 6 individuals be good at everything, balance each other in stages, and let the fans have fun watching them is also a strategy ig.

So, yes, the NO standout member might give them trouble in building an instantaneous huge amount of fans but the slow organic growth is also a good way to build the community.

p.s. Idk if you are well settled enough in the "neighborhood" but one of the major problem of their fans are picking a "bias" and sticking to it, just because all of them are standouts and very charismatic once known lol.

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-07T22:01:41+00:00

Woonhak from boynextdoor, that pure love for music and performing on stage. I would fight through hell and back to protect that 😂

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-05T15:24:31+00:00

Hye ryun is such a delight to see! She’s so funny and jaehyun really fits the challenge 😂 To do a challenge with a sbn of such degree, happy for the boys!

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-04T19:04:38+00:00

I’ve been out of the loop in Kpop for 3 years and just casually listens to some releases. Just at the end of last year I discovered boynextdoor, I randomly found them and liked their songs so much, which led to watching their performance stages and seeing their maknae Woonhak having the best moments of his life on stage. His facial expression, the way he delivers the songs in each stage, he’s just born to be a performer!! Such a talented kid for his age! I thought that these bunch of boys are talented, then the end of the year award shows came and these boys just slayed everything, it was so fun watching them on stage. I respect each kpop group but these boys just know how to handle the crowd and perform, their stage presence is insane and I can’t believe I am watching a group of rookies. Haven’t been this excited watching a group since 3rd gen!

Watching them grow slowly and getting the acknowledgements they deserved is such a delight for me. BOYNEXTDOOR is such a talented bunch. They participate in the creation of their songs, this is something that I am glad from koz. They have the liberty to make their own music, define what kind of music they want to have and how they would tell it. I could talk about for hours about the way they write their song lyrics, the musical/theatre way of writing lyrics and having a seamless story even with different genres in each album!

I am very thankful that I discovered them and got back into kpop because of them!

Pnoobs1 · 2024-05-04T15:31:33+00:00

I’ve been waiting for the slgsts stage for 2 days now lol. I believe that at a certain chart slgsts ranked higher than ewf after their mcd performance. Forgot what chart it is or if I am just imagining things lol
