During the MC, which continued in a heated atmosphere, Donghyun said that due to schedule conflicts, the performance on the 18th will be his last.
So they decided to choose the next leader. Donghyun said, "First of all, Jeongmin definitely can't be the leader, and Kwangmin can't be the leader either..." Kwangmin replied, "When Donghyun isn't around, I'll be the leader.
"Yes, I did!" Donghyun responded, "But I heard that they were talking bad about me," to which Kwangmin hurriedly replied, "That's not true!" and Minwoo replied, "It's all a secret.
I told you so!", causing the audience to burst into laughter. Donghyun then reiterated, "Hyeonseong will be the leader while I'm not here!", "He's the second hyung, so I can trust him."

"I think the message is, 'Please let go of my love. 'Because I love you, please let go of me,'" he explained, conveying the message of the new song to his fans.
Furthermore, when introducing "You Are Shining," Kwangmin cheerfully explained, "It's a song that really shines!"
Minwoo spoke about his feelings about the new song, saying, "We worked really hard to prepare this album, and it's our first new song in six years, so we'll work hard to make BOYFRIEND's future activities even more brilliant.

After the new song was released, Donghyun said, "The lyrics of this song ("You're Shining") are really good. Lines like "Let's treasure every single day," "Because it's already so dazzling"... What were you thinking when you wrote them?
"Have you ever wondered why you wrote lyrics?" he asked Hyunseong. The other members then joked, "Looking at yourself in the mirror, you say, 'You're shining.'" Hyunseong replied, "I write lyrics.
I always like to give hopeful messages, so I thought I might give myself hope, so I wrote this," he said, explaining the moving story behind it, which drew applause from the audience.
Donghyun and the other members also worked on creating new songs late into the night every night, saying, "Thank you for writing such a wonderful song!" and "Thank you, Jeongmin!"
He once again expressed his gratitude to his teammates Hyunseong and Jeongmin. Minwoo then asked, "Jeongmin, how will you write the songs for our next album?" "Spoiler!"

The audience was moved and a beautiful moment passed. When the performance ended, Donghyun's singing voice was a hot topic. Jeongmin said, "I was the next one, but...
When I heard Donghyun's voice, I wondered how I should sing next. Donghyun responded, "Today is my last performance, so I'm putting my life on the line and concentrating harder than ever.
"I sang with all my heart. Everyone was listening to me with all their energy, so I sang with all that energy," he explained. Donghyun's sincere words were met with thunderous applause from the audience.
The crowd erupted in cheers. Donghyun also mentioned that this concert was a meaningful one, as it was performed as a complete group of six and that it used the name BOYFRIEND.
I'm really happy that Ng has returned after two years. How about you guys?" he asked the audience, to which they responded with a loud "I'm so happy!" Minwoo also said, "Everyone, I'm so happy as I sing.
When I watch it, it brings back a lot of memories. When I was in high school, I just enjoyed it, but now I think about the importance of the stage and the importance of each song.
"I think so," he said, expressing his growing appreciation. Jeongmin responded, "That's right. I felt the same when I was on the bullet train. I'm sure everyone who came from far away is happy.
I thought it must be really hard... some people came from Korea and some from Australia," he said, thanking the fans who came from far away. Minwoo also said, "We have a busy schedule every day.
"I'm busy with my daily routine, but I got up in the morning, took time off work, and even though it was a weekday, so many fans came... I'm really grateful," he said, once again expressing his gratitude to his fans.
To change the atmosphere a little, he announced that he would be performing three dance numbers in a row. He then started with an up-tempo melody, saying, "Please stretch and stand up!"
The excitement in the venue reached its peak with Dee and the other six members' intense dance performance. When the excitement reached its peak, Jeongmin shouted, "Let's go to a bigger world!" and the fans
responded with a powerful "Oh!". Next, Youngmin asked, "Who am I?" and the fans shouted "One, two, three, Youngmin!" in perfect unison, and the venue became even more excited.
Afterwards, the excitement in the venue was carried over to the group photo shoot. The members and fans came together with the shout of "BOYFRIEND! FOREVER!" and captured the memorable moment in the photo.
The fun time passed quickly, and it was time to end. "It's unfortunate, but there is a time limit," he said, and each member expressed their gratitude.
When it was time to express his feelings, Jeongmin said, "Today is the last schedule for the six of us for our album 'Time Limit.' Thank you so much for your support.
I will do my best with this feeling in my heart," he said, thanking his fans. Donghyun replied, "I'm really happy. Thank you so much for making me feel this way.
Thank you. I will continue to do my best as a leader, as a member of the six, and as "everyone's Don-san," so let's all be happy and smile and spend time together.
I love you." Youngmin said, "During the two years we were apart, there were many times when I felt lonely in the middle of the night. I feel like I'm not a good fit for you.
But when I stood on the Toyosu PIT stage for the first time as BOYFRIEND (on the first day of this performance), I was so happy I can't put it into words. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much. I hope you will continue to support us," he said, expressing his joy at being able to stand on the stage as "BOYFRIEND" once again.
Kwangmin said, "It's been 14 years for us. Now is the beginning.
I feel like I'm continuing to be with everyone more and more every day, and I'm really happy. I hope you'll continue to support us," he said, expressing his hope for the future.
Hyunseong said, "This moment feels like a dream, but it's only possible because of you and all the members."
He expressed his gratitude to the members. Minwoo said, "Thank you for creating a dreamlike time for us today. To be honest, I didn't like the name 'BOYFRIEND' at first.
I didn't have a name for that group before, but we started out as "BF" and now we're re-debuting under the name "BOYFRIEND". I've realized once again that the name "BOYFRIEND" is an important name.
I thought. I think I can work like this, risking my life, because you all support me no matter what. From now on, I will not keep you all waiting too long and I will give you lots of good memories.
We want to make memories together. Please give us lots of support for the six of us and for our individual activities!
The concert ended with words of gratitude to Mito and the fans. For the last two songs, Donghyun said, "I hope everyone can sleep well, and that I can always see the same sky as everyone, so I hope everyone can ...
When you're in the mood, look up at the sky," he said, conveying a heartwarming message. The fans then surprised everyone by holding up a slogan, creating a strong bond between the fans and the members, and the venue became one, creating a moving moment.
Afterwards, Jeongmin announced, "There will be no encore today," and the members left the stage, but the fans' enthusiastic calls for an encore filled the venue.
The encore song "Party Plane" started with the signal "Everyone, you like parties, right?". The members once again livened up the venue with their towel-waving performance, and the atmosphere was at its best.
And, just when you thought the concert would end with the final greeting, "That's all for BOYFRIEND," the excitement continued and the calls for a double encore rang out.
BOYFRIEND appeared on stage with "Rty Plane" and then went down to the audience for a surprise performance. The entire venue jumped up and down, and the performance reached a climax.
The "BOYFRIEND JAPAN 2025 PREMIUM" concert was a wonderful one that felt like a culmination of their activities and a new start.
SHOWCASE BOYFRIEND FOREVER". With the bond with the fans reaffirmed and expectations growing for the upcoming 14th anniversary, the future of "BOYFRIEND" is bright.
I'm sure they will continue to do so. I'll keep an eye on their future activities and look forward to seeing BOYFRIEND take another big step forward. ■BOYFRIEND JAPAN OFFICIAL
