Tomorrow X Together will return in January next year with a fifth EP, Hybe said Thursday during a corporate briefing.

The album comes about nine months after its previous EP, “Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child,” debuted on the Billboard 200 at No. 4. The album stayed on the chart for 14 weeks, a record streak for the boy band.

It will be the first group or artist under the Hybe label to release an album next year.

Separately, TXT earned the group's first nominations at the MTV Europe Music Awards and American Music Awards last month.

The band wrapped up Act: Love Sick, its first international tour, last month, traveling to 13 cities around the world for 19 concerts. On Thursday, it left for Chile to participate in a group concert for a Korean TV music chart show. – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
