TOMORROW X TOGETHER Prepping 7th Mini Album, ‘The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY’

K-pop boy band TOMORROW X TOGETHER are gearing up to release their seventh mini-album, The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY. The latest release from Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai is due out on Nov. 4, seven months after the group’s previous mini, minisode 3: TOMORROW.

According to a release, The Star Chapter will usher in “a new phase of their artistic journey as K-pop‘s visual storytellers.” That promise was teased further in a 20-second promo video that dropped on Sunday (Oct. 6) which features a flaming cartoon version of the star X logo from minisode 3 transforming into a celestial diamond shape floating in space as the pieces come together and zip through the cosmos before a series of three twinkling stars unite above the band’s name and the album title.

“The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY will open a new chapter in Gen Z Icons’ one-of-a-kind narrative, building upon the intriguing saga established throughout The Dream Chapter [2019] The Chaos Chapter [2021] and The Name Chapter [2023],” reads the release in reference to three of the group’s previous studio albums.

Earlier this year, the innovative group announced their first-ever virtual reality concert, HYPERFOCUS : TOMORROW X TOGETHER VR CONCERT, an immersive event that found the five singers offering superfans a more up-close-and-personal view during screenings in California and Texas; the final run of shows will continue through Oct. 13 in Chicago with the experience winding down its run from Oct. 17-Nov. 10 in New York.

The group also cooked up an anthem to soundtrack Samsung’s latest Galaxy series, “Open Always Wins,” this summer, with lyrics penned by members Sobin, Yeonjun, Taehyun and HueningKai.
