TXT's Beomgyu to drop 1st solo mixtape
Beomgyu of Tomorrow X Together is poised to release his first solo mixtape 'Panic' on March 27, label Big Hit Music said Monday.
'More people than we think go about a day feeling as if they are going to get lost, desolate like they are walking in a long tunnel,' Beomgyu wrote in a message accompanying the cover image of dandelions.
He, too, had those days and made it through consoled by music, he confided, expressing hope that his voice and his songs could reach listeners' hearts and be a source of strength to move forward.
He participated in writing the mixtape track as he did for a number of B-side tracks for TXT, including 'Thursday's Child Has Far to Go' from the group's fourth EP 'Minisode 2: Thursday's Child.'
Separately, the five-member act is in the middle of the European leg of its 'Act: Promise Ep. 2' tour and will go live in London on Tuesday.
