TXT’s Yeonjun Confirmed for Solo Comeback — “No Labels: Part 02” Expected in July 2026!

The “4th Generation It Boy” is coming back — and this time, he’s going even harder. 1TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) member Yeonjun is preparing to make his return as a solo artist. 1According to reports on June 9 KST, Yeonjun is currently working on a new solo album with the goal of releasing it in July.

After his debut solo album shattered expectations and redefined what a 4th-gen idol solo project could look like, MOAs worldwide are buzzing with anticipation. Here’s everything we know so far.

What We Know So Far

Big Hit Music has not yet released official details about the album’s name, tracklist, or concept. However, given that his debut solo EP was titled “No Labels: Part 01,” fans are widely speculating that the upcoming release will be “No Labels: Part 02” — continuing the deeply personal artistic narrative Yeonjun established last year.

Why “No Labels: Part 01” Was a Game-Changer

Yeonjun’s debut solo EP didn’t just perform well — it dominated. Here’s a quick recap:

11 No Labels: Part 01 consists of six tracks that span genres such as alternative rock, punk rock, ska, hip-hop, funk, pop, and acid jazz. 11 The lead single, “Talk to You”, is a hard-rock song with energetic guitar riffs. Other tracks include the English-language “Forever”, a laid-back, soulful hip-hop song, and “Let Me Tell You”, an R&B collaboration with Katseye’s Daniela, who contributed Spanish-lyrics. 11 Yeonjun was closely involved in the album’s creation, writing lyrics for five of the six songs and co-composing “Talk to You” and “Nothin’ ‘Bout Me”.

Yeonjun’s Solo Journey — A Timeline

What Makes Yeonjun’s Solo Identity So Special?

10 Prior to his debut, he trained under Big Hit Entertainment for four years. Throughout his four years of training, Yeonjun became known as the company’s “legendary trainee” because he consistently ranked first during monthly evaluations in dance, vocal performance and rap.

That all-rounder reputation has carried through to his solo work. 13The title, “NO LABELS: PART 01”, signifies an unfiltered portrayal of Yeonjun as an artist, free from predefined labels or descriptions. This project seeks to define “Yeonjun Core” by allowing him to express his musical identity through his body, movements, and expressions.1 The project also drew attention for highlighting what fans dubbed the “Yeonjun core,” a distinct artistic style that resonated with listeners around the world.

What Could “Part 02” Sound Like?

While nothing is confirmed, there are clues. 11After the success of his 2024 solo mixtape “Ggum”, Yeonjun began working on his first extended play, aiming to create music that reflected his personal tastes and experiences rather than external expectations. The title No Labels symbolizes an “unfiltered reflection” of his identity and his journey of self-discovery. Yeonjun described the creative process—writing lyrics, composing, and developing performances—as a way to better understand himself and grow closer to the concept behind the album’s title.

If Part 01 was about stripping away expectations, Part 02 could be about building something entirely new on that foundation. Expect Yeonjun to push even deeper into his rock, hip-hop, and genre-defying sonic palette — potentially with new international collaborations.

TXT Group Activities Running in Parallel

The solo comeback doesn’t mean TXT is on hiatus. 2Meanwhile, TXT will meet and greet fans in Japan’s Fukuoka and Hyogo later this month, taking to the stage twice in each city, to celebrate its seventh year.3 This new solo album from Yeonjun holds a special significance because all members of TXT recently renewed their contracts with Big Hit Music as a complete group. With the contract secured, both group and solo activities can thrive simultaneously — a win-win for MOAs.
