In todayโs K-pop scene, most idol groups focus on delivering flashy performances to tracks prepared by professional songwriters and producers, which, unfortunately, leaves little room for the idols themselves to participate in the creative process.
Under the guidance of rapper and producer Zico โ also the head of the groupโs agency KOZ Entertainment โ BoyNextDoor have distinguished themselves from their peers by having all members take part in songwriting and production.
From Jaehyun and Taesan to the youngest member, Woonhak, all have participated in writing the teamโs buzzy singles that include โEarth, Wind & Fireโ, โNice Guyโ and โIf I Say, I Love Youโ.
โWhat makes a song good is different for every artist,โ Jaehyun said in an interview this week.
