Tomorrow X Together (TXT) is set to make their highly anticipated comeback on November 4 with their mini 7th album, The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY. The album features the title track "Over The Moon," which BIGHIT MUSIC describes as a heartwarming love song filled with the dreamy optimism that TXT is known for. The release will include six new songs, all crafted with contributions from the members, showcasing their dedication to evolving as artists.

This comeback follows the leak of internal HYBE documents that sparked significant fan backlash. The leaked report, which surfaced after HYBE’s audit with the National Assembly, revealed allegedly disparaging comments about other popular K-pop groups like Stray Kids and NCT Dream. The report compared TXT's Yeonjun’s physique to those of Stray Kids' Changbin and NCT Dream members, drawing criticism from fans of both groups. In response, HYBE issued a statement addressing the situation, but fans remain concerned about how this may impact TXT's comeback.
Feel sorry because of the difference in physique. Feel even sorrier thinking about how when Stray Kids’ Changbin filmed a challenge with NMIXX, their heights were so similar. Keep feeling that way thinking about how it was when Changbin stood next to Yeonjun on camera, because he just so happened to be friends with Yeonjun.
Another portion talked about how Yeonjun “destroyed” NCT Dream and Stray Kids when it came to physiques.
Of course Yeonjun is good at performing and MC-ing. Even just standing still, he brings meaning [to things]. He just had to be the one interviewing NCT Dream and Stray Kids, and we felt sorry seeing how Yeonjun destroyed both groups with his physique. Soobin is known for his tall height, and his pure and naive image, so he didn’t look too out of place alongside them, but the difference between Yeonjun and Changbin when they stand next to each other is too much.

TXT, which includes members Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai, has carefully crafted The Name Chapter: SANCTUARY to highlight personal themes. Along with "Over The Moon," the album features tracks like "Heaven," "Danger," "Resist (Not Gonna Run Away)," and "Higher Than Heaven," with each member involved in the writing and production.
Despite the controversy, TXT will proceed with their schedule, including a three-day encore concert of their world tour ACT: PROMISE in Seoul from November 1 to 3 at the KSPO DOME.
