BOYNEXTDOOR's RIWOO surprises fans in Chiba wearing a raccoon mask

BOYNEXTDOOR member RIWOO performed songs including "ANIMAL" while wearing a heavy raccoon mask in Chiba, Japan. Despite limited vision and neck strain, he revealed his identity to fans by performing choreography to "Move like an emo" and handing out bread.

RIWOO, a member of the group BOYNEXTDOOR, held a unique event in Chiba, Japan, where he communicated with fans while wearing a raccoon mask.

According to a video released by BOYNEXTDOOR, RIWOO took to the streets wearing a raccoon mask for fans in the Chiba area. The event appears to have been planned to repay fans for waiting early and to share small moments of joy. Even while wearing the mask, RIWOO showed an active presence by approaching fans and handing out bread.

Performance continues despite heavy mask and limited vision

During the event, RIWOO faced unexpected difficulties while wearing the raccoon mask. The weight of the mask was significant, putting strain on his neck, and his vision through the eye area was extremely limited, making it difficult to see ahead properly. Despite these challenging conditions, RIWOO continued the event, enduring the heavy weight and lifting his head to observe the fans' reactions.

At first, fans did not seem to realize that the person in the mask was member RIWOO. However, as he performed choreography to songs such as "Move like an emo," his identity was immediately revealed due to his unique dance lines. Seeing his performance, which could not be hidden even while masked, the fans on site recognized him and expressed their joy.

"This is why we do events"... precious memories built with fans

RIWOO heightened the atmosphere on site by personally delivering the prepared bread to fans and performing full versions of two songs, including "ANIMAL." During the event, which took place in cool weather, RIWOO enjoyed making eye contact and communicating closely with the fans.

After finishing the event, RIWOO expressed that the time spent with fans was very enjoyable and shared his hope that this meeting would remain a precious memory for the fans. The surprise and joy shown by the fans the moment he removed the mask and revealed his identity demonstrated that the small joy prepared for this event was successfully delivered to them.
