[SBS Star] Big Hit Entertainment Announces TXT's Debut Date: March 4

However, a lot of people are surprised to hear the news at the same time, because it is sooner than they had thought to be. It has been about a month since Big Hit Entertainment began the promotional cycle for TXT's debut, their first K-pop group after BTS in 2013.

The group consists of five members, and they are YEONJUN, SOOBIN, HUENINGKAI, TAEHYUN, and BEOMGYU. TXT stands for 'TOMORROW X TOGETHER', with the 'X' being read as "by."

The name said to be signifying how the group has "All come together under one dream in hopes of building a new tomorrow."
 
Even though it has not made its official debut yet, TXT has been in the limelight for weeks.

Not only the members' teaser films have accumulated in total of 61 million views on YouTube already, but also the group's fan community site had knocked down soon after the debut date and details were posted due to millions of fans around the world trying to connect to the server all at the same time.
