YEONJUN of TOMORROW X TOGETHER has officially stepped into his solo spotlight. On November 7, the 26-year-old dropped his first mini-album ‘NO LABELS: PART 01,’ marking his first solo project in six years and eight months since debuting with TXT.
A new chapter
‘NO LABELS: PART 01’ captures YEONJUN as he is: stripped of definitions, expectations, or boundaries. “True to its name, the album breaks free from every frame and convention, letting YEONJUN be unapologetically himself—bold, free, and unmistakably embracing YEONJUN-core,” according to BIGHIT MUSIC.
YEONJUN’s mini-album presents six tracks that showcase the full spectrum of his artistry. The title track, ‘Talk to You,’ serves as the emotional centerpiece, while ‘Forever’ delivers an anthemic reflection on growth and perseverance. ‘Let Me Tell You (featuring Daniela of KATSEYE)’ stands out as a compelling collaboration, and ‘Do It’ brings high-energy performance flair. ‘Nothin’ ‘Bout Me’ exudes confidence with its rhythmic drive, and the album closes with the introspective, slower-paced Coma, leaving listeners with a lingering sense of depth and nuance.
Each song emphasizes his range as a performer and storyteller, blending emotional depth with signature stage charisma, while serving as a statement of freedom, individuality, and artistic confidence.
The music video for ‘Talk to You’ mirrors the album’s raw, stripped-down aesthetic and quickly trended at No. 22 on YouTube in the UAE. The album’s visuals and performances showcase minimalistic storytelling that lets YEONJUN’s energy, style, and charisma shine.
Last September, YEONJUN debuted his first solo mixtape, ‘GGUM.’ This July, he returned with ‘Ghost Girl,’ a solo track included on TXT’s fourth full-length album, ‘The Star Chapter: Together.’
Reception in MENA
‘NO LABELS: PART 01’ has made a notable impact in the Middle East, debuting at No. 8 on Saudi Arabia’s iTunes Albums chart, while topping the K-pop category at No. 1 in Saudi Arabia and No. 2 in the UAE. Its title track, ‘Talk to You,’ also performed strongly on the all-genre iTunes chart, reaching No. 1 in Saudi Arabia and No. 3 in the UAE.
