TXT's Yeonjun Announces 'NO LABELS: PART 02' — Solo Comeback Album Drops July 10, 2026

BIGHIT MUSIC made it official on June 9, 2026: Yeonjun of TOMORROW X TOGETHER is returning as a solo artist with 'NO LABELS: PART 02', his second mini album, scheduled for release on July 10, 2026 at 1 PM KST. Pre-orders opened on June 16 — today — and the announcement has landed like a detonation in the MOA fandom. The Yeonjun 'NO LABELS: PART 02' solo comeback completes a two-part artistic statement that began with 'NO LABELS: PART 01' in November 2025, when Yeonjun announced himself as one of the most commercially and critically formidable solo debuts K-pop had seen in years.

'NO LABELS: PART 01' sold over 600,000 copies in its first week on the Hanteo Chart — a figure that would be remarkable for any solo debut, and that for a first EP from a member of an active group was genuinely exceptional. The album topped the Oricon Daily Album Ranking on its release day, secured the #1 position on the Weekly Western Music Album Ranking, and placed Yeonjun in the top ten of the Billboard 200. Two Billboard chart toppers accompanied the release, confirming that the commercial performance was not a fan-drive anomaly but a reflection of genuine market reach. PART 02, arriving seven months later, enters with that benchmark already set.

What makes the gap between parts notable is what happened in between. TXT as a group renewed their contracts with BIGHIT MUSIC in August 2025 — all five members signing on for the next chapter — which contextualised Yeonjun's solo work not as a departure but as a parallel creative track running alongside his group commitments. 'PART 02' thus arrives as continuation, not conclusion: a second instalment in what the framing of 'NO LABELS' always implied would be an ongoing exploration of who Yeonjun is outside the TXT universe.

BIGHIT MUSIC described 'NO LABELS: PART 02' as an album that completes Yeonjun's debut as a solo artist — language that implies PART 02 is the conclusion of the diptych rather than the opening of a trilogy. That framing puts significant creative expectation on the release: PART 01 established the sonic palette and commercial infrastructure; PART 02 must deliver the artistic resolution. As of June 16, the full tracklist and title track have not been officially revealed, but multiple physical editions have been confirmed through pre-order listings — including Weverse Albums, Hello82 Exclusive, Compact, and Photocard Case versions — suggesting a release strategy that mirrors the multi-format approach BIGHIT deploys for its most anticipated titles.

Yeonjun's solo career began with a self-released mix tape in September 2024, a deliberately lo-fi introduction that positioned him as an artist comfortable working outside label infrastructure before formally debuting under the BIGHIT banner. That sequence — independent, then label, across two parts — gives the 'NO LABELS' series a conceptual coherence that aligns with the title: a declaration of artistic identity that precedes and then resists categorisation. PART 02 arriving mid-2026, when the K-pop landscape is crowded with solo debuts from group members, lands with the advantage of having an established blueprint to both honour and subvert.

TXT entered 2026 with their first group release since all five members re-signed — 'The Star Chapter: TOGETHER', featuring the title track 'Stick With You'. The group's ability to sustain both a healthy collective identity and individual solo projects is the hallmark of second-generation HYBE group management, and Yeonjun's July comeback sits comfortably within that architecture. The timeline spaces his return from the group's earlier 2026 activity, ensuring that 'NO LABELS: PART 02' has its own promotional runway without cannibalising TXT's group momentum. Pre-orders opening today signal that the campaign is already in motion — and that July 10 is going to be a significant day in K-pop.
