Tomorrow X Together’s โYeonjun Embarks on Solo Journey โคwithโ ‘No Labels,’ a Quest for โSelf-Discovery
Tomorrow X Together member Yeonjun is stepping into the spotlight as aโฃ solo artist with the release of his album,No Labels,a project heโฃ describes โas a deeply personal exploration of identity and artistic freedom. Theโข album โขmarks a significant moment in Yeonjun’s career, allowing him to define himself outside the established framework of his group and connect with audiences on a more โคintimate level.
The concept of “No Labels” resonated withโ Yeonjunโข as a challenge toโค shedโข preconceived notions and embrace authenticity.He reflects โขthat prior to working on the album, he questioned whether he trulyโ lived up toโค the description of someone “without โขlabels,” acknowledging times he โคfelt constrained. Throughโข the โคcreative process, Yeonjun โdiscovered a โคstronger sense of self, stating, “Through this album,โ I was able to know more about myself. It was a process of โขlearning about me. Compared to before, I’ve become a person who’s closer to the descriptionโ of No Labels. It has a โreally significant meaning forโค me,โ and I โthink also through this label I became moreโ me.” โข
Yeonjun acknowledges the inherent uncertainty of artistic reception, recognizing that not everyone โwill connectโค with โhisโ work. However, he prioritizes artistic integrity overโค popular appeal. “Of course, it would be great if a lot of people like this album, but forโฃ sure there will be peopleโ who don’t,” he said. “How โpeople see โคme orโ my music isn’t the most significant thing to me. Rather โคthan โtrying โto meet โeveryone’s expectations, I just try to focus on making music thatโ I trulyโ love and believe in.Thatโฃ feels the most meaningful to me. Ultimately, I would โคlike to be perceived as a person who makes musicโค as he wants.”
This solo venture follows a similar conversationโข withโ his group, TXT, regarding โperceptions of theirโ work, but Yeonjun emphasizes the distinct experience of expressing his โindividualโ artistry. No Labels represents โขa pivotal โขstep in his evolution as a performer, driven by โa desire โคfor genuine self-expression and a โขcommitment to creating music thatโฃ resonates with โขhis own artistic vision.
