The “BigHit Music Rush” that will delight global music fans this summer is officially underway. Following BTS and TOMORROW X TOGETHER, even a rookie boy group is gearing up for an album release.

 

BTS (RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, Jung Kook), the flagship group of BigHit Music, will release their live album PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - LIVE on the 18th at 1 PM. This marks BTS’s very first live concert album. The album captures the songs performed during the PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE tour held from 2021 to 2022, along with the cheers and support of fans, conveying the vivid emotions of that time. After releasing their first concert live album, the members will reunite in the U.S. to begin working on their new album, slated for release next spring, and to prepare for upcoming performances.

 

TOMORROW X TOGETHER (SOOBIN, YEONJUN, BEOMGYU, TAEHYUN, HUENINGKAI) will release their 4th full-length album The Name Chapter: TOGETHER on the 21st at 6 PM. The title track “Beautiful Strangers” is a hip hop song with a trap rhythm that tells the story of “me,” growing stronger through the strength you gave me, and “us,” who are beautiful precisely because we are different. TOMORROW X TOGETHER has built a solid narrative through previous series such as The Dream Chapter, The Chaos Chapter, and The Name Chapter, and this new album brings the The Name Chapter saga to a close. Notably, this album includes each member’s first solo track since debut, expected to bring great satisfaction to fans.

 

The final runner is a brand-new boy group from BigHit Music—the first in six years. The rookie team, consisting of Kyehoon, Amaru, Donghwa, Juwang, Minje, Keiju, and Donghyeon, will debut on August 18. All members are in their teens, embodying the fresh energy of the label’s youngest group, while also boasting outstanding creative capabilities. Despite their young age, they are a “young creator crew” who create music, choreography, and videos themselves with an entirely new and original sensibility. Rather than assigning fixed positions, the five members reportedly work collaboratively through a “co-creation” model, sparking much curiosity.

 

The musical exchange between BigHit Music’s senior and junior artists is also noteworthy. Kyehoon participated in the credits for TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s new song “Beautiful Strangers.” In addition, Amaru and Juwang contributed to previous TOMORROW X TOGETHER tracks such as “Deja Vu” and “Miracle (The miracle happens every moment you and I are together).” Amaru also took part in choreographing “Deja Vu,” forging a special bond with their senior group.

 

BTS and TOMORROW X TOGETHER, who are set to heat up this summer, and the rookie group carrying the baton in the global music market, BigHit Music artists are ready to greet fans around the world with diverse and exciting music.
