The comeback of boy group TXT has been postponed due to health reasons.

TXT’s agency, Big Hit Entertainment (hereinafter Big Hit), announced via official SNS on the 20th, "Members Taehyun and Huening Kai have recently contracted conjunctivitis, and we plan to adjust the new album release date from the end of September to the end of October." They also stated, "It has become difficult to proceed with production-related schedules such as music video filming, and we have no choice but to postpone the release date of the new album."

On the 8th of this month, Big Hit postponed the comeback from late August to late September, citing Soobin’s conjunctivitis. However, due to the health reasons of other members, the comeback period has been changed again to the end of October.

Big Hit stated, "Soobin’s conjunctivitis has now been completely cured, and while medical staff have determined that Taehyun and Huening Kai are no longer contagious, their condition requires continuous management." Regarding the schedules planned for the 23rd and 27th, they explained, "Based on the medical staff’s opinion that it would be difficult to perform, we will proceed with attendance at the events without performing."

Meanwhile, TXT is the next boy group from Big Hit, the agency that produced BTS, and debuted in March of this year with the release of ‘The Dream Chapter: STAR‘.

▼Below is the official statement from Big Hit Entertainment

Hello. This is Big Hit Entertainment.

We would like to inform you that members Taehyun and Huening Kai of TXT have recently contracted conjunctivitis, and we plan to adjust the new album release date from the end of September to the end of October.

At the beginning of this month, member Soobin contracted conjunctivitis, and following the medical staff’s recommendation to prevent further transmission among members, he has been living in isolated individual dormitories. However, recently, conjunctivitis has become widespread, and Taehyun and Huening Kai were also infected through unidentifiable routes.

Currently, Soobin’s conjunctivitis has been completely cured, and while medical staff have determined that Taehyun and Huening Kai are no longer contagious, their condition requires continuous management.

Due to this, it has become difficult to proceed with production-related schedules such as music video filming, and we have no choice but to postpone the release date of the new album.

Furthermore, regarding the schedules for the ‘2019 SORIBADA BEST K-MUSIC AWARDS‘ on the 23rd and the ‘Kansai Collection 2019 AUTUMN&WINTER‘ on the 27th, based on the medical staff’s opinion that it would be difficult to perform, we will proceed with attendance at the events without performing.

We apologize to the fans who have been waiting for TXT’s stage and comeback, and we will return with even better songs and content.

Thank you.
