THE BOYZ - [PHANTASY] Pt.1 CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST (2ND FULL ALBUM) : Concept Photo #PRESENT

Five months after "Be Awake" , The Boyz has announced a new album that attracts attention in several ways. First, the title stands out: [PHANTASY] Pt.1 CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST. Christmas in August? Is that possible? We are sure that The Boyz will convince us!

And what else is special about the album? It's a full album! The Boyz have released no less than twelve Korean albums since their debut in late 2017, but these are mostly mini albums and single albums. So far, there is only one full album called "Reveal", which was released in 2020. Now a second one is finally coming, so fans can look forward to more new songs than usual this time!

Besides brand new songs, we can of course expect photo books, photo cards and other extras again. We introduce you to all the versions:

THE BOYZ - [PHANTASY] Pt.1 CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST (2ND FULL ALBUM)

"Holiday" (holiday), "Glitter" (glitter) and "Present" (gift). That's the name of the first three versions The Boyz unveiled today. In keeping with the album's title, they too create Christmas spirit.

With each version, you can expect a 64-page photo book and a CD in a separate CD case. The photo book and CD case are held together and protected by an outer case.

When you open the album, you'll discover a bunch of little gifts!

These include two of 22 possible postcards, two of 22 photo cards, a track sticker, a ticket, a mini card booklet, a bookmark, a metal clip, and two of eleven still photos. According to the preview, these Still Photos are the same in all versions. That means all other content is different. So if you order a set of all three versions, you're guaranteed not to get anything twice except for the sticker!

Do you like to collect all versions from one album or do you choose one?

THE BOYZ - [PHANTASY] Pt.1 CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST (DVD VER.)

The DVD version consists of a case that looks like a DVD case. Inside you will find a CD, a mini book with 16 pages, a postcard and one of three possible photo cards.

There are 11 different DVD versions; each one is dedicated to one of the members of The Boyz: Sangyeon, Jacob, Younghoon, Hyunjae, Juyeon, Kevin, New, Q, Ju Haknyeon, Sunwoo or Eric. Who is your bias?

Unfortunately, we only get the different versions randomly, so we can only offer them randomly in the store. However, you can write down a request in the note field when you place your order. We will do our best to fulfill it! Please be aware that despite our best efforts, this is not always possible.

Christmas in August? Is that possible?

The Boyz shows us how it works! Concept photos for the new project have been appearing on Instagram for two days now. In this first concept, "Present", the boys are wearing swim trunks and swimming in a turquoise lake in the jungle. This isn't your typical Christmas as we know it, but you can celebrate anywhere, right?

The Boyz launched their career on December 6, 2017 with twelve members and already reached #3 on Korea's Gaon Album Chart with their debut album.

Hwall left the boy group in October 2019 due to health reasons and later launched a solo career.

The Boyz didn't let it get them down and have been conquering the stage with eleven members ever since. They never keep their fans waiting long and release at least two albums a year. Thanks to the support of their fans, they have also been topping the charts regularly since 2019. How long have you been cheering for the boy band! We keep our fingers crossed that the new album will also be a success!
