TXT Members Profile, Facts and Everything You Need To Know

Quick Facts

Gone are the days when Korean Pop music was restricted to Korea and its neighboring countries with similar languages. Although today, their fan bases reached farther than just the nearby countries, it was usually harder for the non-Korean speaking fan base to understand whatever they were saying without an extra effort at translation. However, all that is gradually changing now as some of the most popular K-pop groups are slowly expanding their horizons into the world of the anglophones, hence, making a niche for themselves in the global market outside Asia and right at the forefront of this, is the TXT boy band. In this article, we discuss TXT members profile as well as facts and everything you need to know about the group.

Meanwhile, for context, TXT (Tomorrow X Together) can be transliterated as 투모로우바이투게더 in Hangul which means Tomorrow by Together in English. The 5-member band was formed by Big Hit Entertainment, which like its name, is one of the biggest entertainment companies in South Korea. In addition to TXT, the company also manages popular South Korean solo artist, Lee Hyun, as well as one of the top K-Pop idol group, BTS.

TXT made their debut in March 2019 with The Dream Chapter: Star, an album which made it to No. 1 on both the US Billboard of World Albums and South Korean Gaon Albums charts, and reached No. 3 on the Japanese Albums Oricon chart, among other accolades.
