Ok, so it’s been just over a week now since TXT released ‘Over The Moon’ and The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY. Is anyone else as overwhelmed with the amount of content we’re getting as we are? Our heads are spinning trying to keep up. Luckily, we have oh so valiantly taken the very difficult challenge upon ourselves (you’re welcome) to catch up on everything from this era, and lay it all out nice and neat for you here. Aren’t we so generous? You can thank us later, after you enjoy these 20+ bits of TXT content!
‘Over The Moon’ In Seoul
Are we still a little bit in shock that TXT decided to perform ‘Over The Moon’ before it was even released? Yeah probably. The group previewed it during the last show of ACT: PROMISE Encore in Seoul, and they managed to get us even more hyped for this comeback than we thought was possible.
‘Over The Moon’ Music Video
You’ve probably seen this, but we couldn’t exactly leave it off the list, could we? TXT always comes through with cinematic masterpieces in every music video, and we feel like we’re still spotting a new easter egg every time we rewatch ‘Over The Moon.’
SANCTUARY Jacket Shoots
The only thing that could make us love TXT’s concept photos is getting to watch the behind-the-scenes from those shoots. Each of the concepts for The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY is heavenly, but we especially love ‘Angel’ for the bonus TXT-and-pets content.
‘Over The Moon’ Behind The Scenes
Speaking of behind-the-scenes, we also have the content from the ‘Over The Moon’ music video shoot. These are always great to watch to see how diligently TXT works, but also because no comeback would be complete without Yeonjun and Beomgyu bickering.
‘Over The Moon’ Reaction
The only thing better than watching a brand new TXT music video is watching TXT watch a brand new TXT music video. Beomgyu teasing Soobin, all of them teasing Huening Kai, what more could you ask for?
TikTok Challenges
We doubt you’ve missed this bit of TXT content either; they are the most-watched K-Pop artist on TikTok after all! But we’d bet that even if you’ve watched every single video, you still wanna watch them all again, right? We have dance challenges for ‘Over The Moon,’ ‘Heaven,’ and ‘Forty One Winks,’ and each one of them is a dream.
SANCTUARY Comeback Live
Besides their talents on stage, TXT is also hilarious off-stage. Their Comeback Live was filled with all the chaos you’d expect, including Huening Kai dancing so hard that he lost his hat. You can watch it back over on Weverse!
‘Over The Moon’ On Genius Open Mic
It’s been a long time since TXT appeared on Genius Open Mic, and we are so glad to see them back. It’s literally impossible to give TXT’s vocals enough credit, and this performance proves that tenfold.
‘Over The Moon’ On Studio Choom
A comeback simply wouldn’t be complete without Studio Choom! TXT is the group that kicked it off back in 2019, after all. ‘Over The Moon’ works so well in this format, and the choreography and camera work slayed as always. Can we also take a moment to talk about the styling this era?!
Wired Autocomplete Interview
TXT’s interviews always hit – our turn when? – and the ‘Over The Moon’ era has been no exception! It’s not an exaggeration to say we’ve waited years for this moment: TXT has done the Wired Autocomplete Interview. From Soobin’s hilarious marriage chat to Taehyun’s extra cute demeanor (sorry, King, but the facts are facts), we couldn’t have wished for more.
My Bias’ Bias
In the last year, we’ve seen Taehyun, Beomgyu, and Huening Kai each launch their own variety show. Then, of course, we had Yeonjun’s solo mixtape. So we knew Soobin must’ve had something brewing, and we were proven right! He’s launched My Bias’ Bias, and it might just be one of the greatest show concepts ever; an idol going all out and doing a PowerPoint about why they love the people that they stan. Future guests will include BOYNEXTDOOR’s Woonhak and ATEEZ’s Wooyoung. But first up, who better to lead than the show’s host? Soobin is the biggest KARA fan ever, and he proves it. And then it turns out KARA’s Gyuri has been in the room the entire time, and Soobin’s meltdown promptly ensues.
M2 Relay Dance
You lot said you wanted funny relay dances back in K-pop, and TXT stepped up to the plate. Honestly, you’ll need to watch this a few times to catch everything happening in this video, and yes, we think that is Yeonjun pretending to be a pigeon…
‘Over The Moon (Our Sanctuary Version)’
Obsessed with the ‘Over The Moon’ video and want more? Us too. Luckily, TXT has dropped ‘Over The Moon (Sanctuary Version)’ and it’s another cinematic masterpiece. This time, it’s an English version of the song, and it would appear that lore-Beomgyu has finally learned to drive after several years of falling off his bicycle. We can all breathe a sigh of relief!
‘Over The Moon’ Remixes
And if you’re feeling particularly greedy, and these versions of ‘Over The Moon’ still aren’t enough, then luckily there are plenty more for you to get your teeth stuck into. In the expanded edition of The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY, you’ll find the English version, as well as deep house, R&B, and rock remixes. We’re often a little skeptical of a single having a bunch of remixes, but here it works. Each of these revamps suits both ‘Over The Moon,’ and TXT so well, once again proving their versatility.
Music Bank
What’s a K-Pop comeback without the broadcast show performances? We don’t plan on finding out. TXT kicked it off at Soobin’s former home Music Bank. It marked the first time we ever saw the ‘Forty One Winks’ choreography in its full glory, and it’s gonna take a long time for us to ever forget it.
K-Pop On! Spotify
Spotify’s K-Pop On! show is one of our absolute favorite pieces of content in any comeback. This TXT edition – which has three episodes – sees them revealing each other’s (completely untrue) dirtiest secrets, and facing plenty of penalties along the way.
Public TV Dumb*ss
Is there anything more Beomgyu-coded than outing your brother as jobless and single on national television? He saw an opportunity, and he took it. Beomgyu, as we all know by now, is the King of variety shows, and Public TV Dumb*ss is just another piece of evidence.
The Seasons And ‘Love Story’
Another thing we can always rely on TXT for? They never change the pronouns of a cover song. On The Seasons with Lee Youngji, tubatu made our wildest dreams come true when they covered Taylor Swift’s ‘Love Story,’ complete with all the original lyrics. They also performed some tracks from SANCTUARY and a live band version of ‘LO$ER=LOVER’ which always blows our minds. The performance does an incredible job of showing TXT’s vocal growth compared to when the song came out three years ago. And they were beyond good to start with.
Music Core
Will any MOA ever recover from these ‘Forty One Winks’ outfits? No, absolutely not. Saturday means it’s time for Music Core, and once again TXT slayed the stage.
Idol Human Theater
Inviting TXT onto Idol Human Theater is asking for trouble. In the preview alone you see Beomgyu lying through his teeth and Soobin trying to take Taehyun’s jeans off. Honestly, we don’t know how they manage to still surprise us, but they do.
Inkigayo
From Soobin’s home on Friday to Yeonjun’s home on Sunday! TXT had to prerecord their appearance on INKIGAYO as they were in Japan, but you’d never guess thanks to the energy that both TXT and MOA give this ‘Over The Moon’ performance. Also, we’re definitely reading too much into this, but don’t those outfits remind you of The Name Chapter concept trailer?
CDTV Live! Live! And SUPERPOP Japan
Phew! All we’re gonna say is, we’re glad our schedule isn’t as packed as TXT’s is. They certainly made the most of their brief trip to Japan. First, they performed at CDTV Live! Live!, and usually those performances are uploaded on the artist’s official YouTube channel a couple of months later, so keep your eyes peeled for that. Then, TXT headlined SUPERPOP Japan alongside Jennie, Kep1er, and more. As well as ‘Over The Moon,’ TXT also treated us to some of their biggest Japanese hits, including ‘We’ll Never Change,’ and the true thing that will never change is how emotional we get every time there’s an OT5 performance of that song.
‘Over The Moon’ Dance Practice
TXT’s team heard us all begging Yeonjun to be an outfit repeater, and then pulled this out of the vault. ‘Over The Moon’ is steadily climbing up the ranks to become one of our favorite TXT choreographies, and this dance practice is only accelerating that rise.
What’s Up Next For TXT?
So it’s safe to say that TXT has done more in the last week than we have all year! And there’s plenty more where that came from! We still have appearances on Nothing Prepared, Trick Kode, and Amazing Saturday, a ‘Forty One Winks’ special performance video, and loads more to look forward to! And that’s before we hit the end-of-year awards season…
