TOMORROW X TOGETHER releases concept trailer for sophomore album

K-Pop’s fourth generation leaders show outstanding performance ahead of May 31st album release

K-pop’s fourth generation ‘It’ group Tomorrow X Together has released a concept trailer for it second studio album called The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE, available May 31st via Big Hit Entertainment. Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun and Hueningkai return with an expansive and in-depth musicality for the new “Chaos Chapter” series.

The newly released clip begins with the words: “Fight, flight or FREEZE.” The members are gathered in front of an arcade machine when a snowball hits Beomgyu on the back of his head out of nowhere. Soobin attempts to enter another coin into the machine but the coin slot now appears to be frozen.

The members escape out of the frozen space, thwarting attacks of the ice on the way. As they kick and punch their way through, Yeonjun is trapped between large obstructions of ice. Taehyun slides down an escalator to join the other members, and Yeonjun jumps down from his entrapment. Together once again, the five members continue on their efforts to destroy and evade the ice.

Despite their relentless efforts to break away, the members eventually become frozen in a thick layer of ice. A silhouette of a girl emerges as light, and the ice that envelopes them begins to melt.

The concept trailer kicks off further album teaser contents to follow — three versions of concept photos, an album tracklist, and album preview. Following the group’s success for minisode1 : Blue Hour, Tomorrow X Together is expected to reach new heights worldwide with the new project that is available in three unique packages: World, You and Boy. All CD packages contain 88 page photo book, sticker packs, lyric book, behind book, poster, one of five random photocards OS photocards and postcards, along with randomly inserted limited autographed photo ticket, limited to 500 copies worldwide.

Tomorrow X Together made their debut in March 2019 and has proved themselves as global super rookies as the forefront of the K-Pop scene, claiming a total of ten Rookie Awards. Widely recognized for their high-quality content and impeccable performances, Tomorrow X Together is once again prepared to take the world by storm with the release of Still Dreaming.

Upon its release, the mini-album topped the charts at No. 1 on iTunes’ Top Album chart in 44 countries and regions and went to No. 140 on the Billboard 200 in the US.

As of February 15, 2020, the video now has more than 100 million views.

Their debut full-length Korean album Dream Chapter: MAGIC also went to No. 1 on iTunes’ Top Album chart in 25 countries and regions and the music video for its lead track, “9 and Three Quarters (Run Away),” has already exceeded 65 million streams (as of Nov 25, 2020).

Tomorrow X Together’s last mini-album minisode1 : Blue Hour reached 300K in physical sales in the first week of release, hitting No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart and debuting at No. 25 on the Billboard 200 in the U.S.. The EP also placed No. 19 on Rolling Stone’s Top 200 Albums Chart. The new ranks mark career milestones for the group, coming on the heels of previous accolades including reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artist chart.

Tomorrow X Together (“tomorrow by together”) has come together under one dream in hopes of building a new tomorrow. The quintet is full of bright and playful energy, where each member is different from one another, shining in their own way to create synergy. In just two months of their debut, Tomorrow X Together successfully sold out their first US showcase tour in six cities with their debut album The Dream Chapter: STAR. Emerging as one of K-pop’s most highly-acclaimed acts, the global super rookies have already won Best New Artist accolades on various award shows and received nomination in 2019 & 2020 MTV Video Music Awards’ Best K-Pop category.
