TXT Announces New Mini-Album '7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns'

TOMORROW X TOGETHER have officially announced the release date for their highly anticipated eighth mini album, 7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns. Set to drop on April 13th, this release follows their fourth full-length studio album, The Star Chapter: TOGETHER, from last summer.

The announcement came with an evocative 1:45 teaser video in Korean. According to a statement, "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."

The video begins with a bright pink, leafless tree against a white wall, accompanied by a soft voice. The translation [via Google Translate] reads, “Inside me, there are so many of me. There is no rest for you. Inside me are vain wishes. There is no place for you to be comfortable. Inside me, I can’t help it. Me too. Taking away your resting place.”

The black and white visuals feature YEONJUN, SOOBIN, BEOMGYU, HEUNINGKAI, and TAEHYUN in all-black attire, seemingly tumbling through a white void. The clip, titled “When the wind stopped for a moment in the thornbush,” also showcases a thorn-covered shadow. Seemingly disparate scenes—a solitary woman dining alone, a shirtless man working out, birds flying in ominous formations—are interspersed with glimpses of sad-looking individuals and a stark shot of the tree engulfed in pink smoke, the thorn figure looming at its center.

TXT’s fourth mini album, 2022’s minisode 2: Thursday’s Child, peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, charting for 14 weeks. Their fifth mini-album, The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION, debuted at the top of the chart. Last year, The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY debuted at No. 2, and The Star Chapter: TOGETHER reached No. 3 on the Billboard album chart.

Further details regarding the album's tracklist are expected soon.
