TOMORROW X TOGETHER ENTER A DEFINING SEVENTH YEAR WITH 7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns ON APRIL 13

TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT 투모로우바이투게더) are officially making their return on April 13 with the release of their 8th Mini Album, 7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns.

7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns marks TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s return nearly nine months after the release of their 4th Studio Album, The Star Chapter: TOGETHER in July 2025.

The album announcement, shared via the global superfan platform Weverse, was accompanied by a cinematic concept trailer and official photos unveiled on the band’s official social media channels. The concept trailer delivers a visceral portrayal of inner anxiety, weaving the members’ striking visuals with the evocative imagery of thorns and a solitary thorn figure. It is anchored by a poignant narration of lyrics from ‘Thorn Tree’ by the legendary Korean folk duo Poet and Village Chief, deepening its emotional resonance. This central thorn motif continues through the concept photos, serving as a prelude to the introspective growth and unfiltered artistry that define the quintet’s new chapter.

Renowned for their cinematic world-building and genre-blurring discography, TOMORROW X TOGETHER have consistently resonated with a global audience by capturing the universal journey of growth shared by today’s youth. As they approach their seven-year milestone, the upcoming album reflects the honest emotions experienced along their journey, moments of doubt, pressure, and resolve, woven into a new chapter of their story. Their recent trajectory has been defined by the success of The Star Chapter: TOGETHER and their ‘WORLD TOUR <ACT : TOMORROW>,’ alongside their continued commitment to moving forward together. The upcoming release promises to expand the boundaries of their signature sound while showcasing a raw, more mature side of the members as they embark on a self-determined new chapter.

As anticipation builds, TOMORROW X TOGETHER will continue to reveal more details regarding the album’s concept and tracklist in the coming weeks.

7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns will be available on all streaming platforms worldwide on April 13.
