BOYNEXTDOOR, the KOZ Entertainment group, have put out a video for “ANIMAL”, a track from their album [HOME: DELUXE]. The word sitting after the colon is doing specific work in the Korean release system.

“DELUXE” is the English label for a Korean reissue

Korean labels often re-release an album weeks or months after the original, with extra tracks, new artwork, a new lead song and a video for it. The Korean term is 리패키지 — a loanword built from “repackage” — and English tags such as Deluxe or Special Edition are now common on titles aimed at listeners abroad. The reason is scheduling as much as music: a reissue extends the promotion window, so a group can keep appearing with fresh material without starting an entirely new album campaign, and fans who already own the first edition get a second physical version to buy.

About this release

“ANIMAL” comes from [HOME: DELUXE], the expanded edition of BOYNEXTDOOR’s HOME, and the video was published on 28 September 2026. The official description carries only the album name, a link and the hashtags #HOME_DELUXE and #ANIMAL. Credits list Soonsik Yang as director and Chaerin Hong as producer; the copyright line is KOZ Entertainment.

Watching from outside Korea

On streaming services a reissue usually appears as its own entry beside the original, so searching the album name may return two listings with overlapping track lists. The deluxe one is the longer of the two, and it is where this song sits.
