K-pop stars TOMORROW X TOGETHER (also known as TXT) have announced the release of their latest mini-album, titled 7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns.
The news was announced by the group and their label, BIG HIT ENTERTAINMENT, via their official WeVerse page wherein they shared the record’s release date of April 13, 2026, while pre-orders open on March 3, 2026. Though no further details were revealed regarding the mini-album, the group also dropped the first set of concept photos for the project, as well as a cinematic trailer for what fans can expect off this brand new era of theirs.
The concept trailer powerfully captures themes of inner anxiety, blending the members’ striking visuals with vivid images of thorns and a lone thorn figure. It features a moving narration of lyrics from “Thorn Tree” by the legendary Korean folk duo Poet and Village Chief, adding emotional depth. The thorn theme also continues in the concept photos, hinting at the introspective growth and raw artistry that shape the group’s new chapter. Check it out in its entirety below:
7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns follows nine months past the release of their fourth studio album, The Star Chapter: TOGETHER, which spawned the hit singles “Beautiful Strangers” and “Ghost Girl.”
TOMORROW X TOGETHER — comprised by members SOOBIN, YEONJUN, BEOMGYU, TAEHYUN, and HUENINGKAI — have established a reputation for their detailed storytelling across all their records. The forthcoming record also coincides with their seventh year as a group, and follows the announcement of all five members re-signing their contract with BIG HIT Entertainment and HYBE. “We are truly thankful to MOA (their fanbase) for staying with us, and we will continue to do our very best,” the group shared in an official statement in late August last year.
