[Below is the full Q&A regarding The Boyz's 9th mini album 'Dofuse']

Q. This is your first new album in about 7 months since your regular 2nd album 'PHANTASY Pt. 3 'Love Letter' released in March.

What are your thoughts?

(Performance)

This is an album that we prepared diligently during the concert period as it is a comeback after finishing the world tour. As much as we prepared it with sincerity,

I think many people will love it.

(Kevin)

I am excited to be able to share new music right after finishing the tour. This album, 'Dohwaseon', is a new version of The Boyz.

I think you'll be able to see the wounds and the shapes.

Q. The ninth mini album 'Dohwaeseon (導火線)' is The Boyz's determination to burn out the established rules and pioneer a new path.

This is an album filled with determination. What kind of new charm did you decide to show, different from your previous work?

(Jacob)

This 'fuse' contains the most intense image of The Boyz's work to date. From the costumes to the visuals, The Boyz

I think I can show my fans a new coolness.

(today)

I have decided to open up a new path, literally. I will always show my fans a challenging concept rather than a familiar image.

I want to show you a new The Boyz.

Q. 'Vanguard' and 'Pioneer', which contain the appearance of the revolutionary army in 'Do-seon', and 'Flash', which expresses blue flames

(Flash)', and 'Riot', which leads the riot, have released a total of four different colored teaser images. Through the new album photos,

Is there anything new you've tried?

(Younghoon)

I took on a big challenge with my hairstyle. I tried a new concept and I am looking forward to showing you a variety of styles in the future.

I think it would be good if you looked forward to seeing more of my appearances as well.

(Eric)

I made a comeback with 'black hair' for the first time since my debut. I also tried a new hair style called 'Wan-kkan' and the fans were very impressed.

I am so grateful and happy that you have given me such a positive and new perspective.

Q. The title song 'TRIGGER' (Trigger) contains the ambition to create a big wave and change in the world with the keyword 'fuse'.

It's a song. If the members themselves introduce the points to appreciate in 'Trigger'.

(Seonwoo)

The magnificent sound of the chorus and the rough, explosive, and intense choreography are the highlights, so be sure to watch the performance of 'Trigger'.

I hope you'll take a look at it carefully.

(new)

I think Trigger is music optimized for performance, as it is a song that stands out for its dynamics in each section. It is unique to The Boyz.

I think you can look forward to a splendid performance.

Q. What did you want to focus on in the performance of the title song 'Trigger'? What are the key points of the choreography that should we pay attention to?

(cue)

'Trigger' is a choreography with such a high level of difficulty that it can be said to be the most powerful choreography of The Boyz so far.

I think you'll enjoy it more if you focus on the changing lines and conceptual acting.

(starring)

There is a part in the pre-chorus that goes “bring back I want to” and I like the angle and feeling of the movement. Please look forward to it.

Q. What are the highlights of the 'Trigger' music video? Also, are there any memorable episodes from filming?

(new)

I think the conceptual worldview and storytelling will be the points of interest. Also, this 'Trigger' music video has the most

There were extras. Since so many people appeared, a high-quality music video could be created.

It seems like it was.

(Joo Hak-nyeon)

I heard that there was a scene where someone goes into the water before filming, so I thought I would only get a little wet, but it was an underwater filming that went down to less than 1 meter.

It was amazing to do it. It was difficult in many ways because it was my first time trying it, but I'm proud that it turned out well.

Q. Q participated in writing the lyrics for the track 'Bad' and Eric participated in writing the lyrics for 'Re-Wind'. He has written lyrics for many of The Boyz' albums.

Since you have been directly involved in this song, where do you mainly get your inspiration from, and what kind of story did you want to tell through this song?

(cue)

I am so grateful that the company always gives me the opportunity to write lyrics. This time, 'Bad' is the same. The concept of the song you gave me

I think about the mood first and then write lyrics with words that fit the mood.

(Eric)

I participated in writing the lyrics for the song 'Re-wind'. I usually get inspiration from my daily life or imagination. The lyrics of this song

When I work, I think of my fans and work with an excited heart, wanting to continue to be with them.

Q. Before the release of the new album, you performed the song 'Bite' on stage during the world tour 'Generation II (THE BOYZ WORLD TOUR: ZENERATION II)'

The song '백(Bite Back)' was first released. It is receiving a hot response from global fans due to its strong performance and addictive chorus.

What do the members think is the killing point of the Byte Bag?

(starring)

'Bite Back' is characterized by a very rough, animalistic and instinctive chorus choreography. The choreography is a combination of the song and the lyrics.

It also goes well with the feeling. The rap part is also a very new and creative style, so many fans like The Boyz's challenging and strong style.

I think this is the song you're looking for when you want to see a fierce appearance.

(Seonwoo)

There is a choreography in the chorus where all members start by spreading their arms out to both sides, and you will probably feel a heavy and overwhelming feeling the moment you see it.

You can feel it. I think that section is the most 'killing point'.

Q. It's already been 8 years since your debut. What was the biggest 'growth trigger' moment that made The Boyz what it is today during your 7 years of activities?

Do you think so?

(Jacob)

The fans who are always by our side are the 'fuse' that allows us to grow. The Boyz exists because of The B.

(Kevin)

I think it was during the 'Road to Kingdom' competition period. It was a fierce competition held without an audience due to COVID-19.

But we were able to overcome our limitations and strengthen our trust, teamwork, and synergy with each other. And as much as we tried,

It was also a valuable opportunity for me to meet more Derby fans.

Q. Following your 2nd regular album 'PHANTASY' Pt.3 'Love Letter' this year, you are releasing your 3rd regular Japanese album 'Gibberish'

From the release of the album to the third world tour, 'Generation II', we have been running without rest with activities both domestically and internationally. 2024 is just around the corner.

If you had to tell us about the most memorable moment of this year, what would it be?

(Younghoon)

I think the most memorable recent 'Generation II' concert is the one I've seen the most. I was encouraged by seeing the Derby fans from all over the world and I'm looking forward to this 'Do' concert.

I have a good feeling that 'Hwaseon' will do really well with their comeback.

(today)

Every moment of the tour. It's such a precious and thankful memory to be able to feel the Derby's warm love directly.

Q. Is there a goal you want to achieve with this album, 'Fuse'?

(Performance)

Above all, my biggest goal is to enjoy this comeback with Derby in good health.

(Joo Hak-nyeon)

I wish 'Dohwaseon' would enter the Billboard charts! This is my personal goal!

Q. If you had to describe your 9th mini album 'Fuse' in one word, what would it be? Why?

(Performance)

The Boyz, we are ourselves

(Jacob)

“It’s a great restaurant.” These songs are all so good with such different feels. So no matter which track you listen to, you’ll enjoy it and want to keep listening.

I think so.

(Younghoon)

The Boyz's Japchae!

(today)

I think it's 'new'. I think you'll be able to feel The Boyz's new charm!

(starring)

'Explosion!' It feels like an explosion of energy from the song to the choreography.

(Kevin)

I would like to express it as an 'experience'! Rather than simply listening and watching, it is a sense-awakening experience from the first track of the album to the end without a moment of boredom.

I think it's a crying album.

(new)

'TRIGGER.' I hope it will create big waves and changes.

(cue)

'start'

(Joo Hak-nyeon)

'Explosion!' The song, music video, and choreography all contain explosive energy, so I think this expression fits perfectly.

(Seonwoo)

A new beginning and an end

(Eric)

'Magnificent.' The choreography, music video, and sound of this title song are all magnificent.

Q. Please say a word to The Bs who have been with The Boyz through every moment.

(Performance) Derby, always laugh with us!

(Jacob) I'm always grateful and thank you for waiting for this comeback! I prepared hard so let's enjoy it together and make good memories together.

Let's go!

(Younghoon)

I think that The Boyz is who it is today because we have Derby who constantly cheers us on and gives us love.

I may not be there for you all the time, but I will always be there with you in my heart to cheer you on and encourage you. The more I receive, the more I will give.

I want to repay you with great love.

(today)

Derby, thank you for always running with us and giving us a heart~

(starring)

Thank you for always giving us your constant expectations, love, and support. Without you, Derby, we are nothing.

All. I will show you a good side of myself with this album too. Thank you!!

(Kevin) I am so grateful to everyone who supports me from near and far, and I cherish each and every one of you.

(new)

Thank you so much for always waiting, anticipating, and being with me. And I want to tell you every day that I love you so much.

(cue)

It will soon be our 7th debut anniversary. I would like to thank all of you who have supported and encouraged us so far.

Without you, we would not have been able to endure and make it this far. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for giving us so much strength and time.

I want to give you that. Thank you so much, Derby.

(Joo Hak-nyeon)

Thank you so much for being with The Boyz so far and please continue to be with us forever! I love you.

(Seonwoo)

Please remember that we can unfold our dreams because of Derby, thank you very much and I love you

(Eric)

Our beloved DeoB, who has been by The Boyz's side all four seasons, keeping us warm when it's cold and cozy when it's hot~. Thank you always

I love you and will repay you with even greater love in the future. Let's walk together through the coming four seasons! ♥

Kim Na-yeon, online reporter letter99@kyunghyang.com
