TXT Opens 'Catch Your Angel' Pop-Up and 'PERFECT STORM GAME' Ahead of 'Angel Bite' Comeback cover

TOMORROW X TOGETHER has turned the countdown to its ninth mini album into something fans can play, opening a “Catch Your Angel” pop-up event in Seoul and launching the “PERFECT STORM GAME” on its official website just days before “PERFECT STORM” arrives on November 16.

The offline event opened on November 6 near Lotte Cinema World Tower in Songpa-gu, Seoul, and runs until 6 p.m. on November 8, according to ETNews. Built around the message of title track “Angel Bite,” the pop-up invites visitors to choose a message card naming someone they do not want to miss in real life, then step into the “Wind Booth” and try to catch the ball that represents that person amid strong winds. Chosun Biz reports the same setup, describing the event as a way for fans to experience the song’s message firsthand.

The online promotion runs in parallel. TXT unveiled the “PERFECT STORM GAME” on its official homepage at 11 p.m. on November 6, Chosun Biz reports. Players choose one of the five members’ characters and steer a glider through wind and obstacles. The game takes its motif from the glider that appeared in the “RIDE THE STORM” version concept photos, and ETNews notes that more content is planned to follow.

The ninth mini album “PERFECT STORM” will be released on November 16 at 6 p.m. KST, carrying six tracks that capture the anxiety, desire and moments of change in real life. The record spans disco-plug, avant-pop, dance funk and minimal techno, a range that underlines the storm metaphor behind the album’s title. Alongside the title track, the tracklist runs “Storm is…” (whose Korean title translates as “We Need Something Different From Before”), “Higher Love,” “Sweetest Escape,” “Touch the Sky” and “Hate It or Love It.”

“Angel Bite” sits at the center of the record as a disco-plug track that pairs upbeat, game-like sounds with a rough, wistful melody. BIGHIT MUSIC has described it as a TXT-style love song about wanting to stay beside someone precious even when life feels far from beautiful, a theme the pop-up and the game both play on. Fans got their first listen on November 1, when the group shared a roughly 10-second teaser through its official social media channels, showing a smiling face shedding a tear as the line “That angel bite” played over the music.

The members also had a hand in writing the new material. Soobin and Beomgyu are credited as lyricists on the unit song “Touch the Sky,” while Beomgyu, Taehyun and Hueningkai took part in writing the lyrics for “Hate It or Love It.” The credits add a personal layer to an album that frames its songs around the emotions of young people leaving teenage illusions behind and facing the weight of real life.

The rollout has been building for more than a month. TXT first teased the comeback during a Weverse livestream on September 27 with a spoiler video carrying the message “We need something different from anything we’ve done so far,” and BIGHIT MUSIC confirmed the album one day later. The group then published the full promotion schedule on October 21, shared “STORM IS COMING” version photos on October 22, and shared an album preview video with highlights of all six tracks on the HYBE LABELS YouTube channel at midnight on November 5. The album also held No. 1 on Spotify’s Top 10 Countdown pre-save chart for seven consecutive days from October 26 through November 1, according to Star News.

The comeback will be followed almost immediately by the stage. TXT opens its fifth world tour, “TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR ‘STEAL THE WIND,’” with three Seoul shows at KSPO DOME in Olympic Park from November 13 to 15, before continuing through Asia, Japan, North America and Europe. The music video teaser for “Angel Bite” is scheduled for November 13, the same day the tour begins, with the full video arriving alongside the album on November 16.

No official statement was available beyond the promotional details reported by the Korean press. With the pop-up closing on November 8 and the Seoul concerts opening five days later, the final stretch of the “PERFECT STORM” rollout now moves from games and teaser clips to the stage itself.
