Four official photos, one clearer story: the October 4 broadcast, HOME: DELUXE’s digital release and the announced Japan concert streams.

ANIMAL on Inkigayo
BOYNEXTDOOR’s official Inkigayo photo update connects to a specific broadcast: SBS lists “ANIMAL” in the October 4, 2026 episode. The broadcast listing and the group’s participation notice identify that date.
The participation notice separately gives September 29 as the pre-recording date. Recording and broadcast are different milestones; the photographs alone do not establish when the performance was filmed.

From HOME: DELUXE
“ANIMAL” is included on HOME: DELUXE, BOYNEXTDOOR’s first studio album repackage. The group’s official release announcement identifies the song as the title track, while the music catalog provides the album context.
That connection is the background to the update: a broadcaster-listed song connected with its verified album release. The images illustrate the original post and do not establish additional tour dates or individual members’ plans.

Released September 28
The official Japan announcement dates the digital release of HOME: DELUXE to September 28, 2026. Apple Music’s album listing carries the same date.
This is the digital album release date. It should not be read as the release date of every physical edition in every country. Fans checking a particular edition should use the relevant official store or distributor notice.

Japan streams: October 10–11
KNOCK ON Vol.2 IN JAPAN online concert streams were announced for October 10 and 11, 2026. The official Japan notice and the Weverse concert page provide the viewing information.
These are announced streams, rather than confirmation that a future event has taken place. Check the official pages for access and purchasing conditions; this article does not infer additional stops or an unannounced itinerary.
