Three years after their debut, BOYNEXTDOOR finally have a full-length album to their name — and it arrived with the kind of chart response that turns a release night into a talking point.
What Is BOYNEXTDOOR's HOME Album?
HOME is BOYNEXTDOOR's first full-length studio album, released on June 8, 2026 through KOZ Entertainment, a HYBE label . The six-member group — SUNGHO, RIWOO, JAEHYUN, TAESAN, LEEHAN, and WOONHAK — debuted on May 30, 2023, so the LP landed close to their third anniversary and marks their move from EPs and singles into a full-album cycle .
Quick Answer: HOME is BOYNEXTDOOR's debut studio album, out June 8, 2026 on KOZ Entertainment. It carries 8 streaming tracks plus one CD-exclusive song across roughly 24 minutes , and all six members earned writing credits as a group for the first time.
The record runs about 24 minutes with eight streaming songs: "06070," title track "VIRAL," "ddok ddok ddok," "ADIOS!," "Upside Down," "DIVE," "Forever You," and "I Wonder." A ninth track, "I Wonder, Always," is exclusive to the physical CD, and "ddok ddok ddok" was issued early as a pre-release single on May 11, 2026 .
According to KOZ Entertainment, HOME is built as an autobiographical record that traces the group from their trainee period through debut to their current relationship with fans . It is also the first release where every member appears in the writing credits as a group — on "06070," "Forever You," "I Wonder," and the CD-exclusive "I Wonder, Always" — with production handled by Pop Time, Kako, and KOZ founder Zico .
How HOME Swept Melon's Real-Time Top 30 on Release Night
All eight streaming tracks from HOME landed inside the Top 30 of Melon's real-time TOP100 at the same time near midnight KST on June 9, 2026 — roughly six hours after release — with the title track "VIRAL" leading at No. 5 . That spread of an entire tracklist, rather than a single hit, points to deep full-album listening from an engaged fanbase during the opening hours.
Here is the release-hour snapshot reported by Soompi, drawn from Melon's real-time chart near midnight KST on June 9 :
| Track | Melon real-time rank (June 9, ~00:00 KST) |
|---|---|
| VIRAL | No. 5 |
| ADIOS! | No. 14 |
| ddok ddok ddok | No. 15 |
| Upside Down | No. 17 |
| Forever You | No. 20 |
| DIVE | No. 21 |
| 06070 | No. 23 |
| I Wonder | No. 30 |
The sweep reflects release-hour momentum rather than a sustained position. Melon's TOP100 updates hourly, weights downloads at 60% and streaming at 40%, and between 01:00 and 07:00 KST counts only the previous 24 hours of usage . That methodology explains the natural decay pattern: opening-hour chart positions reflect fan listening intensity at release time, not a sustained ranking, and HOME tracks have since returned to typical long-tail chart behavior.
One factor behind the broad opening-night result was timing. "ddok ddok ddok" arrived as a pre-release single on May 11, 2026, weeks ahead of the full album , giving listeners a streaming head-start that carried into release night. "VIRAL" has stayed the highest-charting HOME track across every checkpoint, from the No. 5 peak to its current live standing .
iTunes, Hanteo, and Global Chart Results
HOME's opening also registered on sales-based charts outside Korea. By roughly 10 a.m. KST on June 9, the album reached No. 1 on Apple's iTunes Top Albums chart in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia, according to Soompi . The iTunes Store sales rankings are a separate system from the Apple Music streaming charts: HOME topped Apple Music Korea's Top Albums chart at No. 1 for four consecutive days from June 9 through June 12, per Soompi — an important distinction as those are streaming chart positions, not sales rankings.
In the same release-morning window, "VIRAL" topped the iTunes Top Songs chart in Colombia, Indonesia, Mongolia, and Peru, per Soompi . These specific territory rankings are attributed to Soompi's report; the primary Apple/iTunes territory pages were not independently verified at the time of publication, so they are best read as a dated release-window snapshot rather than a confirmed standing.
Physical sales were the clearer record. HOME sold 591,900 copies on its June 8 release day per Hanteo data, a new BOYNEXTDOOR first-day high . The Korea Herald described it as the group's first album to sell "close to 600,000 copies" on release day . The album also debuted at No. 1 on South Korea's Circle (formerly Gaon) Album Chart and topped the Hanteo daily album chart for June 8 . In Japan, it reached No. 1 on both the Oricon Albums chart and the Oricon Combined Albums chart , extending the full-album cycle beyond domestic streaming into international sales.
Where to Stream and Buy HOME — Fan Guide
HOME is available in full on all major streaming platforms — Apple Music, Spotify, Melon, Bugs, Genie, and YouTube Music — from its June 8, 2026 release . The streaming edition carries eight tracks running about 24 minutes, led by the title track "VIRAL" . A ninth song, "I Wonder, Always," appears only on the physical CD and is not on streaming services . Fans wanting that track — or who want their purchase to count toward sales charts — can order the CD through Weverse Shop, Melon, or authorized K-pop retailers.
If you are buying to support chart figures, timing matters. Hanteo and Circle aggregate sales within a defined window, generally the first week of release, so purchases logged inside that period weigh most heavily; confirm cut-off dates with your retailer before ordering. HOME's first-day sales reached 591,900 copies per Hanteo data , which set the early pace for those charts.
For Melon, active streaming counts more than passive play. Melon's real-time chart weights downloads at 60% and streaming at 40% and updates hourly , so streaming "VIRAL" and the full album directly — rather than shuffle-playing in the background — feeds that methodology most reliably. The practical takeaway: stream the full tracklist on your platform of choice, and if charts matter to you, place CD orders inside the first-week aggregation window.
Frequently asked questions
Did all BOYNEXTDOOR HOME songs really chart on Melon's Top 100?
Yes. All eight streaming tracks from HOME entered Melon's real-time TOP100 within hours of the album's June 8, 2026 release, and near midnight KST on June 9 every song sat inside the Top 30 — led by "VIRAL" at No. 5, with "I Wonder" at No. 30 . That was a release-hour peak, not a stable state; within days of the June 8 release, HOME tracks followed the expected decay pattern as opening-hour streaming momentum settled.
Which countries did BOYNEXTDOOR HOME reach No. 1 on iTunes?
According to Soompi, HOME topped the iTunes Top Albums chart in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia on June 9, 2026, while the title track "VIRAL" hit No. 1 on iTunes Top Songs in Colombia, Indonesia, Mongolia, and Peru .

What is the track 'I Wonder, Always' and why isn't it on streaming?
"I Wonder, Always" is a ninth bonus track exclusive to the physical CD edition of HOME.
