TXT’s Yeonjun releases debut EP ‘No Labels’, focusing on creative freedom over expectations

TXT’s Yeonjun discusses his first solo EP ‘No Labels’, describing it as a journey of self-expression and growth

Tomorrow x Together member Yeonjun has released his first solo EP, No Labels: Part One, marking a new chapter in his musical journey.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter from Seoul, the 26-year-old K-pop artist said the project represents his desire to create music without external expectations.

“Rather than trying to meet everyone’s expectations, I just try to focus on making music that I truly love and believe in,” Yeonjun said.

Debuting with TXT in 2019 under BigHit Music, Yeonjun has spent six years performing with the group as their oldest member. No Labels showcases a more personal side of his artistry, blending multiple genres across six tracks.

The EP, which includes the songs “Coma”, “Let Me Tell You” and “Talk to You”, highlights his involvement in writing lyrics, composing, and directing choreography.

“I could just get a song and become a person that fits that song, but rather than doing that, I think it’s more fun and good to actually write the lyrics, compose and tell the story myself,” he said. “In the process, I was able to find myself, who I really was.”

Yeonjun described the creative process as demanding but rewarding. “Physically there was so much to do. I had to write the lyrics, participate in choreography and direction. I didn’t have much personal time, but the entire process was so much fun,” he explained.

For Yeonjun, No Labels is more than just an album title — it reflects his mindset. “Before working on this album, I wonder if I was a person who could be described as someone with no labels. Through this album, I was able to know more about myself,” he said.

The singer added that while audience reactions will vary, his goal remains clear: to make music that feels authentic to him.
