BOYNEXTDOOR (members Seongho, Liu, Myung Jae Hyun, Taesan, Lee Han, and Woonhak) is all set to release a Japanese version of their hit song One and Only I LOVE YOU! The Japanese single, titled 今日だけ I LOVE YOU (Kyōdake I LOVE YOU), will drop digitally on January 31, giving fans another reason to celebrate.

One and Only I LOVE YOU quickly became a sensation after its Korean release on January 6. Dubbed the “MZ breakup anthem,” the track perfectly combines emotional, relatable lyrics with an upbeat melody, capturing the hearts of listeners everywhere. It gained massive popularity in South Korea, climbing to No. 4 on Melon’s “Top 100” chart just a day after its release. It later peaked at No. 20 on the daily chart and secured No. 32 on the weekly chart from January 6–12, marking a new personal best for the group.

The song didn’t just dominate in Korea—it also made waves in Japan. It debuted at No. 8 on the Oricon Daily Digital Single Ranking, making it the highest debut ever for a 5th-generation K-pop boy group. It also topped Line Music’s “Daily Top Songs” chart on January 9, proving the group’s growing influence in the region.

But that’s not all! BOYNEXTDOOR is keeping their Japanese fans engaged with a special pop-up store event. The BOYNEXTDOOR POP-UP STORE ‘KNOCK ON Vol.1’ will feature exclusive merchandise and fun items related to their adorable mascot, “Ppeunectdo.” The pop-up will be open in Tokyo from January 25 to February 5 and in Osaka from February 1 to February 9.

On top of their single release and pop-up events, BOYNEXTDOOR will be embarking on their first-ever solo tour in Japan! The BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR ‘KNOCK ON Vol.1’ kicks off on January 30 in Tokyo, with stops in Aichi, Osaka, Miyagi, Fukuoka, and Kanagawa. The tour will include 12 performances across six cities, giving fans plenty of chances to see the group live.

BOYNEXTDOOR continues to show their potential as one of the leading 5th-generation K-pop groups. With their viral hits, exciting events, and upcoming tour, 2025 is shaping up to be their year.

TWICE’s Jihyo has made headlines after purchasing a building worth a staggering 4 billion won in her 20s.

On May 2, Herald Economy reported that Jihyo bought a building in Seongdong-gu, Seongsu-dong 2-ga, Seoul, in early March of last year.

By the end of that month, she had completed the full payment and transferred ownership, with no mortgage attached, suggesting that the property was purchased entirely with cash.

Just a month after the purchase, Jihyo registered as a housing rental business operator and completed the registration for private rental housing.

As a housing rental business operator, she is eligible for tax benefits, such as reduced acquisition tax. However, she is also subject to certain regulations, including a 5% cap on rent increases, compliance with rental periods, and mandatory insurance for tenant deposits.

The building, which was built in 1986, has a land area of 152㎡ (45.98 pyeong) and a total floor area of 330.21㎡ (99.89 pyeong). It includes one basement level and three floors above ground.

The property is situated in Seongsu Strategic Redevelopment Zone 2, an area currently undergoing redevelopment.

Given the area's future potential, it is believed that Jihyo's investment is more focused on the property's long-term value rather than immediate rental income.
