BIGHIT MUSIC’s recent announcement about TXT’s upcoming tour has caused a divide among fans. The announcement of an “EP. 2” to their “ACT: PROMISE” World Tour, essentially an encore of an encore, has led to concerns about the group’s well-being.
TXT’s “ACT: PROMISE” Journey and the New Announcement
TXT’s “ACT: PROMISE” World Tour took place from May to October 2024, with the group performing 28 shows at 17 locations around the world. Following the main tour, TXT held five encore concerts in Korea and Japan in November 2024. Many fans believed this marked the end of the “ACT: PROMISE” activities, especially given reports of the members’ busy schedules and health concerns.
However, on January 6, BIGHIT MUSIC announced “EP. 2” of the “ACT: PROMISE” World Tour. This new leg will see TXT perform 22 shows at 14 locations from March to May 2025.
While some fans who missed the previous shows welcomed the news, many others expressed concern over the group’s workload. Online communities, like theqoo, saw Korean netizens voicing their disappointment with BIGHIT MUSIC’s decision.
“Sigh… Please let them take a break. Regroup and start a new tour. If going on tour is that important, at last put some effort into putting it together. What even is this?”
“The thing is… Their contract renewal is not far off. If the members renew, the profit distribution could change, so BIGHIT is squeezing out as much profit as possible before that. It’s obvious that whether TXT renews or not, BIGHIT is grinding them hard to make the most out of the members right now.”
“An encore to an encore concert…? That’s excessive. Is BIGHIT that short on cash?”
“Given what happened to ENHYPEN, and now TXT, all I can think is… ‘BIGHIT must be super desperate for cash right now.’”
“Wow… BIGHIT is REALLY grinding TXT to the bone.”
These reactions highlight worries about BIGHIT MUSIC potentially prioritizing profit over the health and well-being of TXT. The comments also bring up concerns about contract renewals and the company’s financial motivations. Amidst these announcements, Soobin, who had previously taken a health-related break, provided updates through a live broadcast.
