19.99 is the third extended play (EP) by South Korean boy band BoyNextDoor, released on September 9, 2024, through KOZ Entertainment, five months following the preceding EP How? (2024). With members Jaehyun, Taesan, and Woonhak credited for writing the EP's tracks, 19.99 explores the anxieties of the youth before they turn twenty. The EP was supported by two singles: "Dangerous" and "Nice Guy".

Background

BoyNextDoor defined their first three releases—Who! (2023), Why.. (2023), and How? (2024)—as part of the First Love trilogy, which explored a narrative of "first love and heartbreak".[1] [2] With the trilogy's culmination with How?, member Taesan remarked that the group would continue exploring "very relatable" topics on their next release. On July 24, 2024, The Chosun Ilbo reported that the group was finalizing its forthcoming release, with a release set for September.[3]

Music and lyrics

19.99 consists of seven tracks. The songs written for the EP explore the anxieties of youth before they turn twenty.[4]

Release and promotion

19.99 was released on September 9, 2024, as BoyNextDoor's third extended play (EP), with "Nice Guy" marketed as the EP's title track. The album's release was preceded by the pre-release single "Dangerous" on September 2.[5]

KOZ Entertainment announced the EP's title on August 12 through a teaser trailer titled "The Beginning of Countdown: 19.99".[6] [7] The 16-second teaser trailer features a push-button telephone lying on a puddle, rapidly counting down before being picked up by the members who then walk away.[8] Two skits related to the album's theme were released in the lead-up to the EP's release: "Starting Your 20s" on August 16 and "How to Flirt" on September 6.[9] [10]

Commercial performance

According to KOZ Entertainment, the EP surpassed one million copies in cumulative sales based on YG Plus statistics.[11]
