As Tomorrow X Together (TXT) nears their milestone 7th debut anniversary in March 2026, speculation surrounding the group’s future with BIGHIT MUSIC has reached new heights. In the K-pop industry, the seventh year is often a critical turning point due to standard contract durations, commonly referred to as the “7-year curse.” This period has historically seen many groups disband or lose members, prompting concern among even the most stable fanbases. Against this backdrop, TXT’s recent comments at their comeback showcase have offered a sense of reassurance and stirred hope among their global following.
Held on July 21 at Kyunghee University Peace Hall in Seoul, the showcase celebrated the release of their fourth full-length album, The Star Chapter: TOGETHER. Naturally, curiosity about their future led to the question of contract renewal being raised. Leader Soobin responded with honesty, revealing that discussions were already in progress. His words hinted at a deep sense of unity among the members, as he shared that they all agree they are at their happiest when performing together as five. He expressed optimism, saying that they hope to share good news with fans soon. The sincerity in his voice and his emphasis on the group’s bond moved many in the audience, who have grown emotionally invested in the group’s journey since 2019.
Huening Kai also addressed the issue with warmth and transparency. He acknowledged fans’ anxieties but reassured them that the five members still love music deeply and are committed to continuing their work. His tone suggested a desire to keep the group intact, and his message was a gentle reminder for MOAs not to let worry overshadow their support. These remarks, though not an official confirmation, have significantly eased the tension that had been building among fans in recent months.
The timing of this revelation is significant. With HYBE undergoing a period of major shifts—BTS preparing to regroup after military service and a new boy band debuting under BIGHIT MUSIC—TXT’s positioning within the company is more crucial than ever. Despite these changes, the bond among TXT’s members remains a central anchor for fans. The shared message from Soobin and Kai, and the absence of any conflicting narratives among the group, signal a promising direction. They have, time and again, emphasized their closeness as friends and teammates, a quality that fans have cherished as much as their artistry.
Though a formal contract renewal announcement has yet to be made, the candidness and unity in TXT’s statements have calmed many anxious hearts. Their devotion to each other and to their fans suggests that the group is striving for a future that honors their past while reaching for new milestones. As TXT steps into their seventh year, fans around the world remain hopeful. They dream not just of more albums and tours, but of witnessing the evolution of all five members—together, just as they’ve always been.
