'The Star Chapter: TOGETHER': Everything We Know So Far About TXT's Comeback

Tomorrow X Together (투모로우바이투게더) recently announced their comeback with their 8th album, 'The Star Chapter: TOGETHER'. Fans have been eagerly anticipating this particular release, as it continues the group's lore and concept that has been in development since their pre-debut days. Following the release of the concept trailer, BigHit Music also unveiled the official tracklist for the upcoming album, and excitement is certainly building. While we wait for the group's highly anticipated return to the K-pop scene, here's what we know so far about the forthcoming project: 1. The new album is part of TXT's lore Many K-pop idol groups incorporate a lore — an overarching storyline or fictional universe that links their music videos, performances and other content. Since their debut, TXT have consistently released concept albums that tie into this narrative, beginning with 'The Dream Chapter' (STAR, MAGIC, ETERNITY), followed by 'The Chaos Chapter' (FREEZE, FIGHT OR ESCAPE), 'The Name Chapter' (TEMPTATION, FREEFALL), and now 'The Star Chapter' (SANCTUARY, TOGETHER). 2. The members co-wrote some of the songs Since 'The Dream Chapter: MAGIC', the members of TXT have taken part in the songwriting process for several tracks, and this album is no exception. As seen in the official track list above, Yeonjun, Beomgyu and Taehyun have songwriting and production credits on four of the eight tracks: 'Upside Down Kiss', 'Ghost Girl', 'Take My Half' and 'Bird of Night'. 3. The comeback is set for 21st July According to the teaser announcement, the new album is set for release on 21st July 2025 (Monday). Typically, the title track is unveiled on the same day, and according to the official schedule, TXT will also be releasing the music video for the lead single on comeback day. While fans may have to wait a little longer, one thing's certain: the group will continue to roll out teasers and promotional content in the lead-up to 'The Star Chapter: TOGETHER'. 4. Members will perform a comeback showcase According to BigHit Music, TXT is scheduled to hold a comeback showcase on 21st July at 8pm at the Kyung Hee University Grand Peace Palace, which has an estimated seating capacity of 4,500. Announcements regarding the online streaming platform for the performance will be shared on a later date. We're looking forward to seeing the boys back on stage, and we're confident that it will be as magical as ever. 5. TXT will embark on a world tour In support of the highly anticipated release, TXT will embark on their 'ACT: TOGETHER' world tour starting on 22nd August, with the first stop, naturally, being in South Korea at the Gocheok Sky Dome. Future dates have yet to be announced, but let's hope Malaysia will be included as one of the stops for this upcoming tour. Bonus: 'K-pop Demon Hunters' promo While it may not be a direct promotion for their comeback, BigHit Music have finally released a special, never-before-seen dance performance video of TXT's 'Eternally'. The content was originally filmed for Halloween a few years ago, but its release was postponed out of respect for the victims of the Itaewon Halloween tragedy. Now that the Saja Boys from Netflix's 'K-pop Demon Hunters' have gone viral, this performance coincidentally aligns with the fictional group's concept and final performance in the film.

Daniel Craig looks stylish in a tweed blazer as he joins South Korean band Tomorrow X Together at Dior Homme show during Paris Fashion Week

Daniel Craig looked stylish as he joined South Korean band Tomorrow X Together at the Dior Homme show during Paris Fashion Week on Friday. The actor, 57, wore an oversized tweed blazer with a blue striped shirt and a red tie layered underneath. He completed his outfit with a pair of dark jeans and dressed his look down with chunky white trainers. Daniel posed for photos at the brand's Spring-Summer 2026 collection by Tomorrow X Together. The band, formed of Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai, released their first single via Big Hit Music in 2019. Daniel, who finished his time as James Bond with the 2021 film No Time To Die, is looking world's away from 007 with his much longer hair. The actor - who was a widely popular Bond - enjoyed a five-film stint with the franchise, beginning with the 2006 movie Casino Royale. During his days as 007 he sported a more rugged look than he does now, with Craig often seen opting for a longer hairstyle at events post-Bond. Fans of the franchise are speculating over who will replace Daniel as the spy. The iconic role remains open to offers some four years after Daniel ditched the tuxedo, hung up the Walther PP and handed over the keys to his beloved Aston Martin. And with Amazon having bought the rights to Britain's longest running film franchise - the next film will be its 26th - the debate around who will seize the baton and become Bond number seven remains hotter than ever. To date, the likes of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Henry Cavill, Regé-Jean Page, Richard Madden and Idris Elba have been touted as potential candidates. Amazon recently took over 'creative control' of the much-loved franchise and are said to be fast-tracking the new film, with Hollywood producers David Heyman and Amy Pascal hired to usher in a new era. Bookmaker William Hill sees Aaron Taylor-Johnson the most likely to take over at odds of 11/8, while Theo James sits at 7/2. During his days as 007 he sported a more rugged look than he does now, with Craig often seen opting for a longer hairstyle at events post-Bond (pictured in 2012 Bond movie, Skyfall) Right behind Aaron Pierre and Henry Cavill is Happy Valley actor James Norton, and chasing his tail is Slow Horses actor Jack Lowden. Earlier this month, betting companies released their odds for the next James Bond villain - with one unexpected household name topping the list. The favourite was then none other than Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy, who sits at the top of OLBG's odds at 9/2. The Irish actor - best known for playing Thomas Shelby in the hit BBC show - had previously been touted for the part of Bond but played down speculation, telling Deadline: 'I think I'm a bit old for that.' Also in the running to play the Bond bad guy are American actor Paul Giamatti (11/2), The Boogeyman star David Dastmalchian (13/2), and unlikely contender Zendaya (7/1). The bookmaker sees Aaron Taylor-Johnson (left in August) the most likely to take over at odds of 11/8, while Theo James (right in January 2024) sits at 7/2 Despite 'usually playing the good guy' in her previous roles, the female actress told Elle in 2023 that she's ready to enter her villainous era. 'I would love to play a villain of sorts,' the 28-year-old said. 'Tap into the evil, supervillain vibes. Whatever that manifests in, I don't think necessarily in a superhero sense, I just mean in like an emotional sense. 'I feel like I usually play the good guy, so I'd like to play the bad guy.' Amazon bosses are currently said to be considering locations in which to set the much-anticipated new film, which experts predicted is likely to be released at the end of next year or in 2027. Due to a filming ban being imposed in Central London next year, new locations are reportedly being considered - with Liverpool a frontrunner, according to The Sun. Even Zendaya has emerged as a shock contender after expressing her want to be a villain during an interview (Pictured May 2025) An insider told the publication: 'This will no doubt irk Bond purists who already fear Amazon taking over the 007 franchise may lead to them making big changes. 'But Liverpool is a well-known alternative to London for film-makers. 'It has appeared in everything from The Batman to Captain America and Harry Potter movies, doubling up as international cities.' The source added that it doesn't necessarily mean the story will be set in Liverpool - though eagle-eyed Merseysiders will no doubt spot their city centre in the background.

[Grace Kao] Love is in the stars with K-pop's N.Ssign

I first noticed fifth fifth-generation K-pop group on Music Bank when they performed 'Love, Love, Love, Love, Love' in April 2024. It's bright and irresistible. How can anyone make 5 types of finger/hand hearts in 3 seconds? Later, they won the weekly award on Music Bank for 'Love Potion.' This song uses an orchestral hit and a rhythm reminiscent of New Jack Swing. I was happy to see a win by a nearly rookie group from a small company. They looked genuinely shocked. They cried. Recently, I spent two hours in person with all seven members of the group. I enjoyed this conversation not only because they told me about themselves, but they wanted feedback. The members of are: Kazuta, Doha, Sungyun, Robin, Hanjun, Laurence and Huiwon. Leader Kazuta is from Japan. Robin is Korean Australian and Laurence is from Taiwan. The other four members are from Korea. The group name stands for 'net of star sign,' and the fandom is called Cosmo. Robin was born and raised in Australia, so English is his first language. After attending a trainee audition with his friends, Robin was the only person chosen. Felix of Stray Kids is an alumnus of his high school and serves as an inspiration. On his experience, Robin said, 'Since I made it (through the audition), I thought I should do this properly and listen to more music.' An early favorite K-pop song of his was 'Crown' by Tomorrow X Together. Doha shared, 'My mother is a traditional Korean music (gugak) artist, I watched her perform and teach, and spent my childhood immersed in that world. I loved the stage.' He was a vocalist in a band in middle school. Doha is learning to write his own songs so he can 'blend gugak and K-pop so I can perform on stage with my mother.' Hanjun was born and raised in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, and started dancing at church. He served as a dance club leader in school and focused on street dance, especially locking. He asked his parents to allow him one month to audition to be a trainee. He succeeded, and he told me that he especially liked EXO and Wanna One. Laurence hails from Taiwan and speaks Mandarin, Korean and some English. Like many non-Korean trainees and idols, he learned Korean after moving to Korea. He loves Taylor Swift, but he also listens to a lot of K-pop and named Tomorrow X Together and aespa as his favorites. The first K-pop song he heard was Super Junior's 'Sorry Sorry.' His eyes lit up when describing fan meeting in Taiwan, where he could speak at greater length to fans and see his family. Huiwon began by saying, 'My story is long.' I teased that, at 21, he was too young to have any long stories! He is the extrovert of the group. When he was one of eleven students chosen in his middle school class to perform Wanna One's 'Energetic,' he was in charge of the choreography, and the work made him 'feel alive.' He wrote a one-page letter to his mother begging for permission to audition, saying, 'This was the first time I truly wanted something.' He is unique in that he has never been a trainee — he auditioned directly for the audition show. He loves J-Hope of BTS. Sungyun was motivated to become an idol due to his family's financial difficulties. He was 16, and he wanted to help but felt helpless. He believed he had no special talents except those that are conducive to being an idol. The rest of the members considered him the visual of the group. His favorite artists when he was young were Maxwell, Boyz II Men and BTOB. Leader Kazuta is from Okinawa, Japan. He speaks Japanese and Korean and said that when he was young, he only focused on basketball. Still, he loved to sing. Like many members, he liked BTS, but they were all Korean. Only when he learned about Yuta from NCT 127, did he believe that a Japanese man could be an idol. He came to Korea alone and spent 6-7 hours daily studying Korean. 'I cried a lot,' he said. told me that they enjoyed their bright songs. All agreed that the hardest part of being an idol was the lack of sleep and not being able to see family. They shared that when they are given a new song, they have to learn the entire song without knowing which lines will be theirs. They asked me a lot of questions. They wanted to know about American audiences, especially those at K-pop shows, as they were preparing for their first US fan meeting in Los Angeles on June 21. What would US fans expect of them? I shared my observations of concerts I've attended and gave them honest feedback. The members reminded me so much of my best Yale students — they already had a strong body of work but knew they could learn more. I'm excited to see them perform in person someday. Maybe next time they can show me how to make those five hearts with my clumsy fingers.

BTS Eyes March 2026 Comeback

Yara Sameh ARMY, the wait is almost over. After nearly two years of solo ventures and military obligations, K-pop titans BTS are gearing up for their highly anticipated comeback slated for March 2026. According to The Korea Herald , the septet — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook — will officially reunite following the completion of all seven members' mandatory 18-month military service, with Suga set to complete his duty this Saturday. HYBE, the entertainment company that houses BTS through its Big Hit Music label, operates a multi-label system that includes acts like Tomorrow X Together and Enhypen under subsidiary Belift Lab. The company went public in 2020 and currently has a market cap of approximately $9.4 billion, making it one of the world's most valuable music companies. 'BTS' comeback date is set for March next year,' a HYBE official confirmed to sources. The timeline aligns with previous signals from HYBE CEO Lee Jae-sang, who told shareholders earlier this year that the group would need 'time for preparation and creative work' post-discharge. The March timeframe could see some serious label synergy, with sources suggesting the comeback will coincide with stablemate Tomorrow X Together's return. 'While the exact date is unknown, I think it will be mid-March,' one overseas source told The Korea Herald. 'I heard BTS is returning in the same month as their brother group, Tomorrow X Together. It could be BTS first, then TXT — or the other way around.' The BTS effect is already reshaping HYBE's release calendar. According to sources, Enhypen — the boy group under Hybe subsidiary Belift Lab — had originally planned a March comeback but shifted to January to avoid competing with the global phenomenon's return. The March timeline would allow for the creative breathing room that HYBE brass previously indicated was necessary. 'We're preparing alongside top-tier producers, but the artists also need time to reflect and prepare,' Lee said during the company's March shareholder meeting. The comeback timeline also accounts for Jin's extensive solo commitments. The eldest member kicks off his 'Runseokjin_EP.Tour' fan concert series June 28-29 in Goyang, with 18 shows planned across nine cities, including stops in Japan, the U.S., London, and Amsterdam through August 10. The March 2026 comeback would mark BTS' first full-group release since their 2022 anthology album 'Proof,' which preceded their military service hiatus. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
