TXT's Yeonjun Makes Waves with Solo Debut, Drawing Comparisons to BTS's Jungkook and Jimin

Yeonjun of the group Tomorrow X Together (TXT) has recently released his first solo album, creating a buzz with a style reminiscent of BTS's Jungkook and Jimin. Both TXT and BTS are part of the same entertainment company, making them senior and junior groups. Yeonjun's solo debut has been praised for showcasing his potential as a solo artist.

Yeonjun's debut solo album, 'NO LABELS: PART 01,' features tracks like 'Coma,' 'Let Me Tell You' featuring Daniela from the group Cat's Eye, and the title track 'Talk to You.' The music video, a six-minute mashup of these three songs, has garnered significant attention, surpassing 14 million views on YouTube within just three days of its release. This is an impressive achievement for a music video from a solo artist.

The title track 'Talk to You' blends hip-hop with grunge, a genre characterized by its gritty guitar tones, offering a trendy fusion not commonly heard in the domestic music scene. In this album, Yeonjun has crafted his persona as a 'rock star' and executed it flawlessly.

Yeonjun's performance evokes comparisons to BTS's Jungkook and Jimin, who have already achieved success in the global market as solo artists. An industry insider commented, "In this album, Yeonjun combines Jungkook's trendiness and masculinity with Jimin's delicate dance moves and vocals, indicating a clear demand for his solo activities."

Yeonjun has already demonstrated his appeal as a solo artist with his previous work 'GGUM,' which gained popularity for its bold choreography and unique, addictive composition, becoming a favorite for TikTok challenges. As of the 11th, the official 'GGUM' sound has been used over 94,000 times on TikTok.

Yeonjun is set to greet North American fans on the upcoming episode of NBC's 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' airing on the 13th. Previously, he appeared on 'iHeart KPOP with JoJo' on the U.S. radio channel 102.7 KIIS FM on the 9th.

The album's sales performance is also noteworthy. According to Hanteo Chart, 'NO LABELS: PART 01' sold a total of 542,660 copies on its release day.
