TXT wrapped up its 7th debut anniversary celebration, '2026 DREAM WEEK,' sharing heartfelt reflections and unwavering commitment to the team and its fans.

'DREAM WEEK' is TXT’s annual event held in celebration of their March 4 debut anniversary with their global fandom, MOA. This year’s edition looked back on the group’s seven-year journey through a variety of touching and entertaining content.

Beginning with a timetable release on February 20, TXT unveiled a series of special features including “DREAMGRAPHY,” “2026.TXT,” “ASMR,” “DAY & NIGHT Medley Live,” and “TXT Diary.” The festival concluded with its final installment, 'The Voice of the Stars.'

Released at midnight on March 4, the anniversary of their debut, 'The Voice of the Stars' offered an intimate glimpse into the members’ inner thoughts. The video took on a unique format in which the group appeared to chat with a rookie idol in their first year after debut, discussing concerns about music, promotions, and communication with fans. Drawing from their own experiences, the five members shared advice and reflected on their early days in the industry.

Their comments on contract renewal particularly drew attention. Having renewed their contracts last year with Big Hit Music, the members spoke candidly about their decision. “There was no hesitation. We were determined to renew without question. All of us felt the same way. We are passionate about music and deeply love our team and our fans,” they said in unison.

When asked about their future goals, the group expressed their ambition to become “a No. 1 that is recognized as No. 1 by everyone,” demonstrating their continued drive and dedication. They also shared their affection for MOA, saying, “In the past, MOA felt like someone we were endlessly grateful for but also afraid might leave someday. Now, they feel like comfortable friends.”

In a surprising twist at the end of the video, it was revealed that their chat partner was not an actual junior idol but rather an AI trained on records from their own first year after debut. Confronting their past selves, the members offered words of reassurance with a newfound sense of resilience.

“There were nights we stayed up, overwhelmed with worries and concerns. The process of overcoming them wasn’t easy, but we managed in our own ways,” they said, encouraging their younger selves.

Marking their seventh anniversary, TXT reflected on the significance of their journey. “It’s never easy to continue anything for seven years. It was only possible because of our members and MOA. As long as they are with us, we don’t think there’s anything to fear. We will keep working hard and continue filling our days with small but meaningful happiness.”

Meanwhile, TXT is set to release their eighth mini album, '7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns 展,' on April 13 at 6 p.m. The upcoming project will be their first group album since renewing their contracts with BigHit Music, raising anticipation for the next chapter in their career.
