TOMORROW X TOGETHER has released the second set of concept photos for their upcoming 8th mini album, following the previously unveiled 'THORN' version. According to BIGHIT MUSIC, the group shared the 'HUNGER' version concept photos for '7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns' via their official social media accounts at midnight on March 29. The album is scheduled for release on April 13, 2026, at 6 PM. This marks the first group project since all members—Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai—renewed their contracts in August 2025.
The 'HUNGER' version depicts a primal hunger following a storm, contrasting with the trapped imagery of the 'THORN' version. The background features cracked ground and overturned cars to indicate the aftermath of a storm, while yellow thorns piercing the asphalt add a fantasy element. Despite the chaotic setting, members Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai are shown in casual attire with refreshing visuals. The photos include Soobin with a shopping basket, Yeonjun leaning on a damaged car, Beomgyu throwing fruit, Taehyun eating cereal, and Hueningkai sitting on an overturned vehicle with a blank expression.
The group continues to use "thorns" as a central metaphor for this album's narrative. The descriptive and poetic title recalls the naming conventions used during the group's debut era, such as 'CROWN' and '9 and Three Quarters (Run Away)'. TXT is scheduled to complete the visual rollout for the 8th mini album by releasing the 'TENSION' version on March 31 and the 'ANXIETY' version on April 2. This new release aims to demonstrate the group's established creative direction as they begin a new chapter of their career.
