TXT, K-pop’s rising stars, is set to make their much-anticipated return with the release of their seventh EP, "The Star Chapter: Sanctuary," on November 4, announced Big Hit Music on Monday. The upcoming mini-album marks the beginning of their fourth thematic series, following the successful arcs of "Dream," "Chaos," and "Name."
This release will arrive approximately seven months after the group’s last EP, "minisode 3: Tomorrow," which achieved remarkable success. Upon its debut, "minisode 3: Tomorrow" sold over a million copies on the first day and topped numerous music charts domestically. It made a notable entry on the Billboard 200 at No. 3 and maintained a presence on the chart for three weeks, before making a reentry at No. 111 in June, signaling its sustained popularity and global reach.
Big Hit Music has hinted that "The Star Chapter: Sanctuary" will explore new dimensions in TXT's evolving narrative, with a focus on themes of growth, introspection, and seeking refuge from the turbulence of the outside world. The EP is expected to further develop the band’s storytelling through a combination of introspective lyrics and a fresh musical style that bridges the gap between K-pop and diverse global sounds.
Over the past weekend, the group concluded their extensive international tour in Taipei, capping off a journey that spanned 17 cities and featured 28 performances. The tour was widely celebrated for its dynamic stage presence, intricate choreography, and the band’s connection with fans worldwide, drawing tens of thousands of attendees at each stop.
As a follow-up to their successful tour, TXT will be treating fans to encore performances in Seoul and Osaka next month. These encore gigs are expected to showcase special stage setups and setlists, providing a unique experience for those who have followed the group’s journey closely.
TXT’s consistent rise in the music industry has not only solidified their position as one of the most promising acts in K-pop but also highlighted their ability to merge contemporary pop with thought-provoking concepts. With each release, they have pushed the boundaries of the genre, bringing a fresh perspective to both their domestic and international fanbase.
Industry experts anticipate that the upcoming EP could potentially set new records for the group in chart performance and album sales. Their rapid rise has often been compared to other legendary K-pop acts. Yet, TXT continues to carve out a unique path defined by their innovative approach to music and storytelling.
With "The Star Chapter: Sanctuary," TXT aims not just to continue their narrative journey but also expand their musical footprint, inviting fans into a new chapter that promises to blend emotion, artistry, and an engaging storyline.
