Tomorrow X Together (TXT) has unveiled all concept photos for their mini 8th album '7TH YEAR: When the Wind Paused in the Thorns,' launching their comeback countdown. The five members—Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai—released the final 'ANXIETY' version concept photos through official SNS on the 2nd, showcasing romantic yet mystical visuals against a surreal red forest backdrop. Accompanied by intense neon flora and dramatic lighting effects reminiscent of a flash in darkness, along with perfectly executed wound makeup, the members captured the fleeting moment of finding balance amid anxiety. This completes all four concept versions depicting an organic narrative: isolation within thorns, emptiness after a storm, tension within relationships, and harmonization with thorns. TXT will sequentially release the tracklist on the 5th, album preview on the 6th, and title track music video teaser on the 11th. The album officially launches on the 13th at 6 PM, with a comeback showcase scheduled at Koryo University's Hwajung Gymnasium in Seoul's Seongbuk-gu at 8 PM the same day. This album reflects the members' emotions and thoughts accumulated over seven years of activity.
