Rising K-pop boy group BOYNEXTDOOR has officially announced encore performances for their first solo tour BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR KNOCK ON Vol.1, with final stops scheduled in Japan and South Korea. The group announced global fandom platform Weverse on March 24, confirming extended dates for enthusiastic local and international fans.

The encore leg begins with a three-day run in Japan. BOYNEXTDOOR will perform from June 28 to 30 at the Musashino Forest Sport Plaza Main Arena in Tokyo, a venue known for hosting large-scale concerts and international sporting events. Titled KNOCK ON Vol.1 Encore Japan, the shows are expected to feature refreshed setlists and additional fan engagement elements tailored for their growing Japanese fanbase.

The tour will conclude with a grand finale in Seoul. The group will return home for KNOCK ON Vol.1 Final, held from July 25 to 27 at KSPO DOME, one of Korea’s premier concert venues. As their first standalone tour draws to a close, these performances are expected to showcase the group’s artistic evolution and touring experience accumulated over the past several months.

BOYNEXTDOOR is currently in the midst of a 13-city Asia tour, which began with their December 14 show in Incheon, South Korea. The group has since performed across key cities in the region, building a strong international following through high-energy performances and interactive stage production.

Their next stops include Bangkok, Thailand on March 29, followed by Taipei, Taiwan on April 3, and Jakarta, Indonesia on April 12. With each performance, the group has continued to gain momentum, solidifying their status as one of the most promising rookies in K-pop’s global landscape.

The decision to add encore performances reflects both high demand and the group’s commitment to providing fans with a more intimate and comprehensive concert experience. As the members grow increasingly comfortable on international stages, their ability to connect with diverse audiences has become a defining strength.

Since debuting under KOZ Entertainment, a HYBE subsidiary, BOYNEXTDOOR has positioned itself as a boy group that prioritizes storytelling, youth-centric themes, and musical authenticity. Their live performances have been praised for their relatability and raw energy—qualities that have resonated deeply with a younger global demographic.

With the encore shows, BOYNEXTDOOR not only celebrates the success of their first tour but also signals their readiness for larger stages in the future. As K-pop continues to expand beyond Korea, the group’s steady growth and strategic international outreach highlight their potential as a long-term contender in the global pop scene.
