THE DREAM CHAPTER: MAGIC
OCTOBER 21 2019 | 1ST FULL-LENGTH ALBUM | TITLE TRACK: RUN AWAY (9 & THREE QUARTERS)
‘The Dream Chapter: MAGIC’ continues the journey of the five boys* as they embrace the thrill of new experiences and the boundless possibilities of imagination. Fueled by curiosity and defiance, they break free from societal expectations, discovering love, adventure, and their own limitless potential. In this newfound world, they create a magical space - both a playground and a refuge - where they can be their true selves. However, their journey is not without challenges, as they must navigate the trials of growing up and the uncertainties that come with it. Through it all, their bond strengthens, proving that friendship and resilience can turn even the most daunting obstacles into moments of transformation. Ultimately, the album captures the essence of adolescence: a time of wonder, rebellion, and self-discovery, where magic is not just an escape, but a reflection of the dreams and struggles that shape them.
[*Within TXT's discography-based narrative the 'boys/boy' can be interpreted as representing the TXT members, but they also serve as generalized protagonists used to convey the broader experiences of youth.]
