TXT have announced their anticipated comeback with their fifth mini album The name Chapter: Temptation. The album's name was released as a cryptic teaser (released December 14th) via social media, with release day 27th of January 2023 at 2 pm KST.
Within the teaser, the logo fades from their current black and red color palette from the Thursday's Child era. The fading of black and red dilutes into hues of green and pink signifying the start of the next chapter. Fans have already uncovered the voiceover whisperings. “It’s so sweet but I should find my name.” Alluding to a new chapter full of mystery, and reversing to the past.

The Name Chapter: Temptation will be the band's first comeback in nine months hot of the success that was their fourth mini album Minisode Thursdays Child. The album explored the journey of anger, loss, breakup, and denial. The lead track “Good Boy gone Bad” saw the five-member in a high-energy, visually pleasing music video. The release saw them break their previous records with over 910,000 copies sold on release day.
The next chapter looks set to carry on the narrative from previous chapters and set new records for the fourth gen band.
Anticipation and excitement have been teased since the 6-minute concept trailer was released on 2nd December. The film sees the boys in many metaphors chasing dreams and being in multiple fantasies. From the start, the members are trapped in a house in the sky, and the walls are shaking ready for collapse. What proceeds is quick decision-making before everything crumbles, what follows is colorful visuals, dances, and outfits.
Pre-order date will begin Thursday 15th December 11am KST on Weverse.
