TXT and Jeon Jong-seo's New Teaser Moves Fans to Tears

Tomorrow X Together (TXT) has dropped one of their most emotionally charged teasers to date. On April 11, 2026, HYBE LABELS released the official music video teaser for "Stick With You" (하루에 하루만 더), the title track from TXT's eighth mini album, 7TH YEAR: When the Wind Paused in the Thorns. The result left their fandom, MOA, completely breathless — and for good reason.

The teaser opens with a striking image: member Soobin, standing in the rain, dancing with an unknown woman in a scene that immediately establishes the emotional stakes of what is to come. The remaining four members — Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai — each appear in moments that collectively express anxiety, longing, and quiet desperation. It is a teaser that communicates not just a song, but an entire emotional landscape.

What made the release even more unexpected was the appearance of acclaimed actress Jeon Jong-seo, whose presence in the final seconds of the teaser ignited immediate speculation and celebration among fans. The collaboration between one of K-pop's most experimental boy groups and one of Korean cinema's most distinctive talents signals that this comeback is aiming for something genuinely cinematic in scale.

Actress Jeon Jong-seo Joins TXT's World

Jeon Jong-seo is not a typical K-pop music video collaborator. Known for her work in critically acclaimed films and her reputation for choosing unconventional, psychologically complex roles, her involvement in TXT's MV teaser has immediately elevated expectations for the full music video. According to reports, she contributed "dense emotional acting that adds cinematic narrative power" to the project — a description that feels consistent with the tone of the teaser itself.

Her role, though glimpsed only briefly in the teaser, appears to intersect with Soobin's storyline in a way that deepens the song's central theme: the aching desire to hold on to a love that is visibly slipping away. For fans, the casting is a statement — that TXT and their creative partners are willing to approach their music with the same seriousness and artistic ambition as film.

The teaser's visual language borrows heavily from arthouse cinema: muted color grading, deliberate movement, rain-soaked settings, and close-ups that linger just long enough to be unsettling. These choices feel intentional, and they reinforce the message that 7TH YEAR is not a casual release. It is a project TXT has invested in deeply — both artistically and emotionally.

'Stick With You' — An Electro Pop Declaration of Devotion

"Stick With You" is described as an electro pop track defined by an "addictive and powerful hook melody" that embodies the longing to hold on to love even as its end becomes visible. The genre positioning is notable: electro pop has a propulsive, almost relentless quality that maps naturally onto the desperation of the song's theme — trying to stay close to something that is pulling away.

Lyrically and thematically, the song channels "honest emotions" drawn from TXT's seven years of activities and their recent contract renewal with HYBE and BigHit Music. That context matters. A re-signing is not just a business decision — for artists as emotionally articulate as TXT, it is a reflection point. What have we been through? What did we almost lose? What are we choosing to hold onto?

The album title, 7TH YEAR: When the Wind Paused in the Thorns, reinforces this sense of a moment suspended between difficulty and resolution. Thorns suggest struggle; the pausing of wind suggests a moment of stillness, perhaps of decision. It is the kind of poetic framing that TXT have made their signature — weaving literary imagery into the infrastructure of their musical releases.

Members Yeonjun and Beomgyu had previously released a 20-second highlight choreography clip for "Stick With You" ahead of the full teaser, offering fans an early taste of the song's powerful chorus. The response was immediate — the clip spread rapidly through fan communities, with many noting the confidence and energy of the performance even in its condensed form.

A 7-Year Milestone and What It Means

TXT debuted under BigHit Entertainment (now BigHit Music under HYBE) in March 2019. Over the seven years since, they have evolved from a much-anticipated debut act into one of K-pop's most artistically distinctive groups — a five-member ensemble that consistently refuses to make the obvious creative choice.

Their discography spans everything from dreamy indie-pop to aggressive rock, from diary-like introspection to full-scale concept albums built around elaborate fictional universes. What has remained constant is the sense that TXT approach their craft with genuine curiosity and a willingness to sit with emotional complexity rather than smooth it over with surface-level polish.

7TH YEAR, as its title suggests, is explicitly about that journey. The album contains six tracks, all developed with direct member participation in writing and composing. The decision to involve all five members in the album's creative architecture from the ground up gives the project an authenticity that fans have come to expect — and that sets TXT apart from many of their contemporaries.

The re-signing with HYBE is also significant context. In an industry where contract renewals are not guaranteed — and where the dissolution of long-running groups has become a recurring story — TXT's collective decision to continue together carries emotional weight. "Stick With You," in that light, reads not just as a song about romantic love, but as a statement about commitment more broadly: to one another, to their music, and to MOA.

What to Expect on April 13

The full album, 7TH YEAR: When the Wind Paused in the Thorns, is scheduled for release on April 13, 2026 at 6:00 PM KST. Alongside the title track, it will include five additional songs — each presumably adding texture and nuance to the emotional world the teaser has already begun to construct.

The full music video for "Stick With You" will likely expand on the storyline glimpsed in the teaser, giving Jeon Jong-seo's character fuller context and allowing the film-like ambition of the project its proper scope. If the teaser is any indication, it will be one of the most visually compelling K-pop videos of the year.

For MOA and K-pop fans broadly, April 13 is shaping up to be a significant date. TXT have built a reputation for using their comeback moments as genuine artistic events rather than routine release cycles — and everything about this teaser suggests they intend to honor that reputation. "Stick With You" is already more than a song. It is a commitment, a reckoning, and an invitation. The world will answer on April 13.
