1-3 Days, World Tour 'ACT: PROMISE' Encore Finale at Case Podom
4th, Mini 7th Album 'Star Chapter: Sanctuary' Release
"After completing our third world tour, we have returned to be with MOAs (Tomorrow X Together fandom name) once again through the encore performance. We will work hard to gift happy memories to everyone watching."
The group Tomorrow X Together (TXT) conquered stadiums in the U.S. and the four major domes in Japan, and reunited with domestic fans through their encore concert.
From November 1 to 3, Tomorrow X Together (Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, Hueningkai) held their third world tour encore concert, 'ACT : PROMISE ENCORE IN SEOUL,' at KSPO DOME (Olympic Gymnastics Arena) in Songpa-gu, Seoul.
On the 3rd, Tomorrow X Together held a press conference before the concert, sharing their thoughts on concluding the large-scale world tour and their feelings about their comeback with the seventh mini album 'The Chaos Chapter: SANCTUARY' scheduled for 6 PM on the 4th.

Yeonjun opened by saying, "I’m so excited to meet our fans after a long time. Since this is an encore concert, we have prepared new stages. I hope many people enjoy it."
Previously, Tomorrow X Together sold out all seats for 'ACT : PROMISE,' held over three days at the same venue in May. Afterwards, they successfully completed a tour consisting of 28 performances in 17 cities worldwide, including the U.S. and Japan. Through this tour, they entered two North American stadiums and set the record for the shortest period for a Korean artist to complete a tour of the four major domes in Japan (Tokyo Dome, Kyocera Dome Osaka, Vantelin Dome Nagoya, Fukuoka PayPay Dome).
Beomgyu said, "Last year’s encore concert left very good memories, and I’m happy to hold another encore concert. Our new album comes out tomorrow, and I will run energetically to bring you good news," smiling.
Taehyun said, "Yesterday and the day before, MOAs gave us such happy times, so today we will work hard to gift happy memories to everyone watching."
Member Hueningkai was unable to fully participate in the previous day’s performance due to poor condition. Hueningkai stated, "Thank you for your concern. I got injured during the performance... Actually, I wasn’t feeling well since the day before, and I tried to endure it somehow, but it worsened, so unfortunately I couldn’t come out yesterday. I really wanted to meet the fans today, so I came running."
Tomorrow X Together’s domestic new album release comes about seven months after their mini 6th album 'minisode 3: TOMORROW,' released on April 1.

With their previous work ranking 3rd on the U.S. Billboard main album chart 'Billboard 200,' 2nd in CD sales in the U.S. for the first half of the year, and becoming the first overseas artist to have 10 consecutive albums top the Japan Oricon weekly chart, expectations are high for their new album activities as well.
Tomorrow X Together plans to showcase abundant activities as a full group in the second half of the year through this album release. Earlier, Yeonjun, recognized as a representative K-pop dancer and all-rounder, released the mixtape 'GGUM' in September, achieving 1st place on Mnet's 'M Countdown' and ranking 4th for two consecutive weeks on the U.S. Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart, successfully concluding his first solo activities since debut.
Yeonjun introduced the group’s new album by saying, "If I were to express this album in one sentence, it would be 'Every moment will be beautiful as long as I’m with you who became my world.'"
Soobin emphasized, "There is also an expression that my world looks different because of you. We expressed various emotions of love through Tomorrow X Together’s style of confession."
In this album, Tomorrow X Together opens a new series called 'The Chaos Chapter: SANCTUARY,' following their previous series 'The Dream Chapter,' 'The Chaos Chapter,' and 'The Name Chapter.' They plan to express the magical moments experienced through meeting you again and the changed world through various emotions of 'love.'

Initially recognized as BTS’s younger brother group at debut, Tomorrow X Together is now evaluated as a team that firmly established their own position as representatives of the 4th generation male idol groups.
Taehyun said, "The fact that we can hold an encore concert for three days at KSPO DOME itself is proof that we are really loved by many people. Ultimately, I hope we become a team that people want to see for a long time and listen to music from for a long time."
Beomgyu said, "Next year, we plan to go to festivals in South America, and there are many MOAs around the world who haven’t seen us yet but are waiting for us. Our plan is to visit those places and put on great performances there."
