TXT teaser draws big buzz

TXT dropped the first teaser for “Stick With You” on April 10, and the clip was already sitting at about 66,000 YouTube views and 22,000 likes within its first half hour. The teaser also revealed actress Jeon Jong-seo in the video, opening with a rain scene opposite Soobin. (youtube.com) (upi.com) The rush around this teaser landed two days before the full comeback. Big Hit Music scheduled the full “Stick With You” music video and the mini album for April 13 at 6 p.m. in South Korea, with a comeback showcase the same day at 8 p.m. at Korea University Hwajeong Gymnasium. (biz.chosun.com) “Stick With You” is the title track of TXT’s eighth mini album, “7th Year: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns.” The album has six songs, including “Bed of Thorns,” “Take Me to Nirvana” featuring Vinida Weng, “So What,” “21st Century Romance,” and “Dream of Mine.” (biz.chosun.com) (mb.com.ph) The song itself is not a bright spring single. Big Hit Music described “Stick With You” as an electro-pop track with vintage Roland TR-909 style drum sounds and techno-punk elements, built around a chorus about trying to hold onto a relationship that is ending for “just one more day.” (mb.com.ph) (biz.chosun.com) That theme fits the album’s larger setup. Big Hit Music said “7th Year” is built around the thoughts and feelings TXT have had across seven years since debut, using “thorns” as the central image for uncertainty, consequences, and emotional turbulence. (biz.chosun.com) (mb.com.ph) This comeback also arrives after the group renewed with Big Hit Music, which gives the release extra weight inside the fandom. Korean press described “7th Year” as TXT’s first group album after re-signing, turning the comeback into both a new era launch and a check-in on where the five members are now. (biz.chosun.com) The teaser’s fast traction makes more sense in that context. Fans were not reacting to a random preview clip; they were reacting to the first moving piece of a comeback tied to TXT’s seventh-year milestone, a title track built as the emotional center of the album, and a video that immediately signaled a more cinematic push by casting Jeon Jong-seo.
