At their comeback showcase held on July 21 at Seoul’s Kyung Hee University, TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) called their fourth full-length album, The Name Chapter: TOGETHER, their “most defining” one yet. With the release, the group brings closure to their ambitious Name Chapter trilogy, which began with SANCTUARY, weaving a layered story arc that has matured alongside the band itself.
“We prepared intensely to show how we’ve grown musically and visually,” TXT said at the event, emphasising their growth not just in sound but in storytelling. “This album made us reflect on the journey we’ve taken so far,” they shared, with member Soobin adding, “It’s about saving others with the strength we’ve built—shifting from being saved to becoming saviours.”
The title track, Beautiful Strangers, exemplifies that shift. A hip-hop song built on trap rhythms, the track juxtaposes dreamy piano lines with intense synths, portraying the story of a radiant ‘us’ built from individuality and connection. The music video furthers this emotional arc: five boys fleeing a collapsing world, grasping at fleeting innocence, only to awaken and run together beneath a meteor shower, a visual metaphor for TXT’s new ethos.
Marking another first, this album includes solo tracks from all five members. “Each of us sang about the theme of ‘togetherness’ from our own perspective,” the group said. From Yeonjun’s YUNGBLUD-produced “Ghost Girl” to Beomgyu’s self-composed “Take My Half,” the solo efforts reflect their personal interpretations of the shared theme.
In a milestone move, Yeonjun also choreographed key parts of the title track performance. “I worked on the dance break and chorus. There are three distinct breaks, so we hope fans notice those details,” he said. The other members praised the choreography for allowing them to showcase their individual strengths while staying cohesive as a group.
When asked about future plans, TXT kept their sights high. “We’ve fulfilled some dreams, missed out on others. But as they say, even the broken pieces of a big dream are large. Right now, our goal is to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100,” they said.
Addressing rumours about their contract renewal, the members assured MOAs that discussions are ongoing but optimistic. “We are happiest when we’re together,” they said. “We’ll never disappoint you.”
The Name Chapter: TOGETHER and the music video for Beautiful Strangers dropped globally on July 21 at 6 PM KST [2:30 PM IST]. TXT also performed the track live for the first time at their showcase.
