This year's festival also features other K-pop acts including BabyMonster, boy bands ATEEZ and NCT Dream, singer-songwriter duo AKMU and rapper Lee Young-ji, bringing the total number of K-pop acts to 8, which is the highest number in history. It will also be the first time for all these K-pop acts to perform at the festival. 

BOYNEXTDOOR have been recognized for their talent and potential early on, attending last year's September Japan Fashion and Music Festival 'Rakuten GirlsAward 2023 AUTUMN/WINTER' only four months after their domestic debut.

They have also appeared at Japan's largest fashion festival, 'Tokyo Girls Collection,' and Fuji TV's music festival 'Mezamashi TV 30th Anniversary Festival.' Their distinctive performances and stage manners not typical of rookies have garnered praise from audiences and local officials.

The group's popularity in Japan is soaring. Their latest second mini-album 'HOW?', which was released on April 15, sold 77,000 copies in the first week in Japan, topping the Oricon 'Weekly Album Ranking' and 'Weekly Total Album Ranking'. They have recorded sales nearly double that of their previous work, showing a remarkable upward trend.
