K-pop masterminds TXT unveil their seventh mini-album this week, introducing The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY — and Wonderland gets an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the music video set for their lead track, “Over The Moon.”
For TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), reaching their seventh mini-album, The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY, feels like a defining arrival. This is a pivotal moment, a new chapter unfolding hot on the heels of the band’s colossal tour, Act: Promise.
Not just a nod to the allure of the stars but an exploration of love’s boundless, gravity-defying possibilities, TXT’s vision in The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY feels deeper, mature—a storyline crafted for a generation that’s grown alongside them, with dreams, heartbreaks, and loves of its own. As the group’s latest release, SANCTUARY is TXT’s invitation to a world of shared memories, where fairy-tale fantasies are rendered with an ethereal beauty and narrative richness that transcends the ordinary. The quintet celebrates the power of love under a starlit sky, where emotions are intensified and stories unfold with poetic grace.
Opening with “Heaven,” TXT invites listeners into a disco-dipped soundscape that is, on the surface, comforting and easy-going. But there’s something tender and timeless laced within the production, grounding the listener in the quivering emotions of young love’s return.
As soon as the title track “Over The Moon” launches, TXT pull back the curtain on love’s softer side, balancing emotions with gentler sensibilities compared to the angstier depiction we experienced in “Déjà vu” from April’s minisode 3: TOMORROW. With the group’s typical high-energy style, “Over The Moon” captures the giddiness of that intoxicating moment when new love feels like floating in the clouds, connecting them to those ineffable feelings that resonate across cultures, across ages: “Promise that I’ll always be anywhere you are,” TAEHYUN romantically declares.
The choreography of “Over The Moon” completes the picture, as the boys open their arms to pull us into a shared, dizzying flight. Beneath the romantic gestures of bouquet-making and umbrella-holding in unexpected downpours, there’s an Easter egg TXT’s fans (MOAs, as they are known) will recognise through a choreographed callback to “9 and Three Quarters (Run Away)” from The Dream Chapter: Magic. Arms wide, gestures reaching outward, and gentle taps to the ear are subtle symbols from a group that understands the power of blending sound and movement into seamless, visual storytelling. Their refined movements evoke a thrill, a warmth, and a subtle nostalgia—summoning memories as much as they create new ones.
Each member brings their own undeniable presence, embodying the album’s persona in ways that feel personal yet deeply connected to TXT’s evolving artistry. BEOMGYU’s voice wraps around the listener, warm and comforting like a familiar embrace, while HUENINGKAI’s ethereal tone lifts SANCTUARY’s sound to an almost angelic plane. TAEHYUN’s smooth power adds a grounded edge, contrasting with ‘it boy’ YEONJUN’s blend of sensitivity and sensualism that feels like the heartbeat of the album. Then there’s SOOBIN’s signature falsetto, soaring through the production as lightly as air yet fiercely commanding—a perfect match for the album’s theme of celestial love.
Tracks like “Danger” layer these voices with an intoxicating push and pull, reflecting the thrillingly dark side of love. TXT doesn’t shy away from the intensity here, building tension that feels just a step away from unravelling. With the reggaeton-infused “Resist (Not Gonna Run Away),” a seductive invitation plays out, anchored by a recurring ostinato on the bongos as if to capture the very heartbeat of love’s allure.
The pace softens by the time “Forty-One Winks” arrives, inviting the listener into TXT’s R&B-flavoured dreamscape, a moment of reprieve which holds space for reflection like the twinkling of a star before “Higher Than Heaven” closes out. Through guitar-driven riffs reminiscent of vintage Britpop and high-spirited call-and-response vocals, “Higher Than Heaven” is sure to resonate within the sold-out stadium settings TXT’s music now calls home. It’s a stirringly beautiful, circular close to a mini-album that began with “Heaven,” underscoring TXT’s instinctive understanding of continuity and their careful curation of every moment for an immersive experience.
For TXT, The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY plays like a statement about where they are now and a promise of where they’re going. With each release, TXT prove themselves to be a greater phenomenon than just K-pop idols; they are storytellers of heightened calibre, crafting emotional landscapes with enchanting and imaginative visuals that become piercing moments, nestling deep into the heart and mind. The band has reached a place of transcendence, leaving listeners not just moved but forever changed – much like the power of love itself.
