TXT releases Daydream concept photos of their latest comeback, TEMPTATION
On Sunday, January 8, 2023, TXT revealed Daydream concept photos of their upcoming album, The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION, which threw fans into a frenzy.
Unlike the other concepts of TXT, which usually revolve around either cute or emo concepts, the fourth-gen K-pop boy group has taken a huge experimental tangent with their concept photos adopting soft, cottage-core aesthetics. They released group, unit, and individual shots of the five TXT members, each dressed in clothing that best represents them.
What fueled fans’ excitement over the concept photos was the amount of exposed skin the members showcased in the pictures, which was rare and unexpected in the K-pop fandom, leaving fans shocked upon viewing the Daydream concept photos.
This being the first time MOAs (TXT’s fan club) are getting visual hints on the TEMPTATION album, the fresh and unique concept by the group has fans excited for the album’s release.
