THE STAR CHAPTER: SANCTUARY
NOVEMEBER 4 2024 | 7TH MINI ALBUM | TITLE TRACK: OVER THE MOON
‘The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY’ marks a pivotal moment in the boys’* journey as they finally reach the tomorrow envisioned in 'Minisode 3: TOMORROW,' fulfilling a long-awaited promise of hope and reunion. This mini-album celebrates their reconnection with a cherished 'you'*, reaffirming vows made under starlit skies. Unlike the love that once served as a desperate salvation in 'The Chaos Chapter,' love in this new era has matured—no longer a one-sided refuge, but a balanced partnership built on mutual giving and receiving. With inspiration from Hans Christian Anderson's 'The Snow Queen,' the album explores love’s redemptive power to heal and restore innocence. The boys rediscover a place where love transforms from a fleeting dream into a sanctuary - one of courage, healing, and the purity that once defined them. Transitioning from the turbulence of 'The Name Chapter', this era shifts toward reflection and hope. What began as youthful fantasies has evolved into grounded expressions of love, offering strength and solace. Anchored in truth and reality, the boys reclaim the sincerity and wonder of their childhood selves, creating a sanctuary where they can truly thrive.
[*Within TXT's discography-based narrative, the term 'boys' or 'boy' represents the TXT members while also serving as generalized protagonists to convey the broader experiences of youth. While 'you' is intentionally kept broad, allowing for various interpretations of the relationship whether it be platonic, romantic, fan-artist, or another dynamic.]
