Omg this trailer man… also so many people I say commented about the ethereal concept! But omg… you all know I LIVE for the darker/rock/punk concepts… they all looked so good but yes Beomgyu with that hair is just perfection…

Also I really feel like watching the most recent trailers and then seeing them pre-debut really puts things in perspective when you see them so young, away from parents in a different country training to be in this crazy industry.

The eye patch is a callback to their freeze album, I am not super knowledgeable, but I know the eye patch, taehyun talking but with no audio etc are all part of the lore. The concept trailer made so many people (including me) emotional. There were so many surprising comments under the video that stood out to me. So many people were sharing their feelings of lost, of growing up, nostalgia.

Up until now people say that TXT as a group looks like a group of bestfriends living their dreams. Im really happy they have each other and they blend well together! I think the boys and some members of BTS did mention that Bighit provides them with therapy sessions for mental and emotional support! I remember RM specifically tackled about it in his live.

Tema

As some others have mentioned, this album and concept is based off of The Little Prince. That book really fits so well into their overall storyline of growing up where in the past we have explored staying in that magic of childhood to learning to grow up and face reality, this feel like we are exploring how it is okay to grow up because you need to but you don’t have to forget that magic. At least that is how I am summarizing it. You can get into all the specific details by scrolling moatheorist on twitter but I think that is the overall theme. It really feels like this era of their story is ending 🥺 The concepts for this album are BEAUTIFUL. I’m so so excited to see them in the physical album. I really didn’t think anything could beat the concepts in Freefall for me but this album is so gorgeous. 😍 So far Ethereal is my favorite! Also these concepts seem to be referencing a lot of their old concepts and music videos. For example Light reminds us of Blue Hour and Ethereal reminds us of Loser Lover. I can’t wait to see the other concepts! Whenever I see their pre debut videos, it just makes me want a strong hip hop concept from them since that is what they focused their training on. There was a documentary about hybe’s trainee program where some of the original bighit trainee managers(?) talked about the process and they did mention about how mental health was important part of the process. I don’t know about other companies but it does seem like hybe and bighit do care a lot about that. I think a lot of the time it depends on the child like what I think is right or wrong. For me, I don’t have a good relationship with my parents so being away from them- I would have been fine as a child but my sister on the other hand would have struggled. It’s hard to have a one size fits all model. My problem more is how other companies force trainees to get into a ton of debt. I really like how bighit and hybe do not make trainees have any debt they have to worry about for just being trained. Especially since they can’t get part time jobs. The other thing I worry about with children is age appropriate concepts which again I thank bighit for giving txt time to grow up before giving them more mature concepts.
