The six-member boy band Xdinary Heroes has demonstrated its popularity by selling out two consecutive solo concerts, during which it dropped its new song, “Boy Comics,” further heating the atmosphere at the event with their strong fan support.
From Friday to Sunday, Xdinary Heroes performed at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, as part of its concert series “Xdinary Heroes Concert ‘Closed ♭eta: v6.1,” connecting with its official fandom, known as Villains.
“Closed ♭eta: v6.1” is part of Xdinary Heroes’ new “‘2024 Xperiment Project” and is the second version of its concert series “Closed ♭eta.”
The concert, held roughly a month after its last solo concert at the same venue from April 19 to 21, achieved the feat of selling out two consecutive concerts, raising expectations even higher.
Xdinary Heroes showcased its distinctive concert under the name “Closed Beta,” short for “Closed Beta Test,” referring to a limited, user-focused test phase.
True to the name, the concert offered a unique experience. The six members shined with a setlist that included the first live performance of its new song “Boy Comics,” officially released on Monday, solo stages and live debuts of other tracks.
This demonstrated its evolving musical spectrum and solidified its status as the next-generation K-pop super band.

Next-generation super band
The highlight of the concert was the stage for the new song “Boy Comics,” introduced as “a song about the determination to keep writing one’s story despite any difficulties.” The members elevated the crowd’s energy with powerful instrumentals and explosive vocals.
To further excite the passionate audience, Xdinary Heroes added an encore performance, directly interacting with fans in the crowd.
The members shared their excitement. “We plan to create happy times with you every month. While the nervousness during our first concert came from fear, this time it was from anticipation,” said Gunil, the leader of the band.
He added, “Our approach to performances is changing. We cherish these concerts more and feel happy to showcase our best selves to Villains through our performances. We sincerely thank the fans who made us feel this way.”
Following “Closed Beta: v6.1,” the band will continue its Closed Beta series from next month through September, spanning five months and reinforcing its journey as a next-generation super band.
Xdinary Heroes’ new digital single “Open Beta: v6.1” and the title track “Boy Comics” became available on various music streaming sites from 6 p.m., Monday.
Right after the concert, they announced the next installment, “Closed Beta: v6.2,” set to take place from July 5 to 7.
Xdinary Heroes debuted under JYP Entertainment in December 2021. The band consists of Gunil, Jungsu, Gaon, O.de, Jun Han and Jooyeon.
