Yeonjun Is Coming Back Solo in July. BIGHIT Just Made It Official.

Seven months after No Labels: Part 01 debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200, Yeonjun is returning. On June 9, Xportsnews reported that the TXT member is actively preparing a new solo album targeting a July release. BIGHIT MUSIC confirmed the report the same day in a phone interview: "Yeonjun is preparing for a comeback with the aim of returning in July." An exact date has not been announced.

The confirmation lands fast. No Labels: Part 01, released November 7, 2025, sold over 600,000 copies in its first week - making Yeonjun the first TXT member to release a solo EP and the first to chart on the Billboard 200 as a solo act. The album also debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart, topped Japan's Oricon Daily Album Ranking, and entered the iTunes Top Albums Chart in 15 countries. Its main track "Talk to You" was credited to Yeonjun on five of the six songs.

The album was described in BIGHIT press materials as a "rock-inspired" project built on "an unfiltered reflection of his identity." In practice, it moved through hip-hop, R&B, and alternative rock in a way that positioned Yeonjun deliberately apart from TXT's group sound - rawer, less constructed, more directly personal. Billboard's review called it "one of the most compelling K-pop releases of 2025."

The July target puts a second Yeonjun solo project roughly eight months after the first. That pace is unusually quick by solo K-pop standards, where follow-up projects typically follow a year or longer gap. The title structure of Part 01 leaves the sequel implicit - the question is whether the new album extends the same musical vocabulary or shifts it.

The solo timing also follows TXT's full group contract renewal with BIGHIT MUSIC earlier this year, which the agency described as a commitment to "faithfully fulfill the role of a steadfast supporter and partner." Solo activity during a renewed group cycle has become standard across HYBE's roster - BTS members released solo projects both before and after their reunion - but the pace Yeonjun is moving at suggests a deliberate investment in the individual lane, not just a gap-fill between group cycles.

TXT is separately scheduled for fan meet events in Fukuoka and Hyogo, Japan later this month, marking the group's seventh anniversary.
