BOYNEXTDOOR made a spectacular stop at the Araneta Coliseum on March 22, 2025, as part of their KNOCK ON Vol. 1 tour. The night was nothing short of magical, with Filipino fans treated to an unforgettable evening filled with jaw-dropping performances, heartwarming moments, and a whole lot of love.
Even before the concert started, you could feel the energy in the air. The crowd was buzzing with excitement, some fans already having a blast during soundcheck with JAEHYUN, SUNGHO, RIWOO, TAESAN, LEEHAN, and WOONHAK. By the time the lights dimmed and the first beats of “Earth, Wind & Fire” dropped, the place was ready to explode.
BOYNEXTDOOR didn’t waste any time heating things up. They kicked off the show with an explosive performance of “Dangerous,” followed by “But I Like You” and “l i f e i s c o o l.” The group’s chemistry was undeniable—smooth vocals, slick choreography, and a stage presence that had fans screaming for more.
The crowd was in full swing by the time they performed “OUR” and their cheerful hit “IF I SAY, I LOVE YOU.” The whole arena was waving lightsticks in sync, and the energy was contagious. It was clear that BOYNEXTDOOR and their official fandom, ONEDOOR, were vibing on the same wavelength, sharing this incredible moment together.
But it wasn’t just about the music. The group kept things fun and interactive with their efforts to speak Filipino. LEEHAN melted fans’ hearts with “Masaya kami makita kayo” (We’re happy to see you), and WOONHAK’s “Edi wow!” had the crowd laughing. JAEHYUN went all-in with “ONEDOOR, mahal kita” (ONEDOOR, I love you) during “But I Like You,” and even had some fun with a squeaky-voiced reprise during “ABCDLOVE,” using their BBNEXDO dolls as props. TAESAN couldn’t resist joining in, saying “Gusto kita” (I like you), and fans loved it.
The surprise of the night came with a karaoke challenge, where BOYNEXTDOOR invited fans to sing along to “But I Like You.” The response was overwhelming—fans were giving it their all, and TAESAN and JAEHYUN couldn’t hide their amazement. “You guys are amazing,” said TAESAN, while JAEHYUN joked, “Are you pros or what? Shouldn’t you guys be on stage instead?”
The group kept delivering with stunning performances like “Crying” and “Fadeaway,” which had everyone in sync with the beat, dancing and jumping as one. But one of the most magical moments came during “So let’s go see the stars,” a shimmering synth-pop track. The song stretched out as BOYNEXTDOOR encouraged fans to sing the chorus with them. The crowd did not disappoint, filling the entire Araneta Coliseum with their voices, creating a beautiful, shared moment that felt like pure magic.
Just when fans thought the concert was over, BOYNEXTDOOR came back for an encore of “But I Like You,” proving they weren’t ready to say goodbye just yet.
The night took an emotional turn when Filipino ONEDOOR surprised the group with a fan video, filled with heartfelt messages, fan art, and clips of fans dancing to “IF I SAY, I LOVE YOU.” The boys were visibly moved by the gesture. TAESAN, choking up a bit, shared, “It’s so cute just to imagine that you were actually filming this one by one and having it all together. I’m so touched. You guys came here to watch our concert. We should actually be giving you good memories. But thanks to you, ONEDOOR, you gave us so many good memories to cherish.”
JAEHYUN, also emotional, added, “Today, my mom and dad came here. Today, ONEDOOR’s energy was so amazing, so I will say to my mom, ‘This is my ONEDOOR.’” LEEHAN also expressed his deep gratitude, saying, “Your cheers are just really, really hot. Today has been a great memory for me. I really want to thank you so much. I hope we can see one another again. Magkita tayo ulit. Mahal ko kayong lahat” (I love you all).
As the night wrapped up, BOYNEXTDOOR teased their Filipino fans with a promise—Vol. 1 of their tours was about showing their true selves, and they performed the original versions of their songs instead of new arrangements. The group announced they’ll be releasing new song in May, and the crowd couldn’t have been more excited for their return.
