Name[edit]
TXT is an acronym standing for "Tomorrow X Together".[3] In Korean, the group name is
"투모로우바이투게더 (RR: Tumoroubaitugedeo)",[4] read as "Tomorrow By Together" and
transliterated into Hangul. They do not have a separate Korean version of their name.[5] According to
their website, the meaning behind "Tomorrow by Together" is five individuals who "come together
under one dream in hopes of building a new tomorrow". [6]
In their first every interview with MBC's "Section TV", group mentioned that they prefer to be called
by their full name, not as their initials.[7]
History[edit]
Pre-debut[edit]
Plans for a second boy group from Big Hit Entertainment were announced by founder Bang Si-
hyuk as early as 2017[8] and a date for early 2019 set in November 2018.[9] TXT was officially
revealed on January 10, 2019.[10][11] Over the next ten days, YouTube videos depicting each member,
dubbed "introduction films", were released.[12]
2019: Debut and The Dream Chapter: Magic[edit]
A debut broadcast for the group was aired on Mnet and its YouTube page, and was announced
along with the band's debut extended play, The Dream Chapter: Star.[13] A debut showcase, held at
the Yes24 Live Hall on March 5.[14] Following the release of the EP, the music video of their debut
single, "Crown" broke the record for the most viewed K-Pop debut music video within 24 hours for a
boy group.[15]
A week after the release of their album, the group debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Emerging
Artists, World Albums, and World Digital Song Sales chart and debuted at No. 140 on
the Billboard 200 chart for the first time, making them the fastest K-Pop group to appear in the charts
and highest-charting debut album by any male K-pop group.[16]
On August 8, 2019, it was announced by Big Hit Entertainment that they originally had planned to
release a new album in August but due to members Soobin being diagnosed with
infectious conjuctivitis and Yeonjun affected by back pains, it was then postponed to
September.[17] On August 20, Big Hit revealed members Taehyun and Huening Kai had also been
diagnosed with conjuctivitis, thus a reschedule of the album "has become unavoidable", citing the
change in release date from September to October.[18]
