In 2019, when the K-pop group Tomorrow X Together (TXT for short) made their debut, they were best known as the first boy band managed by Big Hit Entertainment – now Big Hit Music – since BTS. Those days went as quickly as they arrived.

The quintet of Yeonjun, Soobin, Taehyun, Huening Kai and Beomgyu are one of the most influential contemporary K-pop groups, lovingly referred to as “K-pop’s voice for Gen Z” for their high-concept, relatable albums and their fearless genre eclecticism.

No two records are the same, but the accolades are many.
