TOMORROW x TOGETHER honestly respond to the criticism that they 'succeeded because of BTS'

AKP STAFF

On August 17, TOMORROW x TOGETHER held an online media showcase in light of the release of their 2nd repackaged album, 'The Chaos Chapter: Fight or Escape'.

On this day, TOMORROW x TOGETHER first described their comeback title track "LO$ER=LO♡ER", an emo-pop punk genre which depicts a boy's wish to be saved by love in a world where everyone sees him as a "loser". The members emphasized the use of the "$" symbol in the title track, and said, "The reason that there is a dollar sign in the title is because money plays an important role. You realize that money is something that is necessary in life, and in order to do the things you want to do, you need money."

Next, interviewers also commented on the criticism often geared toward TOMORROW x TOGETHER. 

In response, member Yeonjun honestly replied, "We have always felt great pressure from the views of some people that we only 'succeeded' because of our company and because of BTS."

Yeonjun continued, "It's rather true that we found success within the bounds that is our agency; however, we are doing our best at each moment to overcome that pressure. Rather than avoiding it, we believe that if we continue to put in our efforts, we will be able to show everyone a genuine, good image and good music, even if it takes a long time. It may be rocky, but our method is to fight at our own pace."

Well said Guys 👏👏👏 This will be like saying:

G.o.d made all future jyp idols successful or

H.o.t made all future Sm idols successful.

Every Agency needs a group to go big but that doesn’t mean all their future idols relied on their seniors for success

I know ima get downvoted lmao but at least in the beginning, I would definitely say it was true. Everything I saw about TXT had something to do with BTS. I still think it was kinda weird how one time on a show they literally won tickets to a BTS concert. Nowadays though, I definitely don’t think it’s true. They’ve been able to stand apart and stand out of a crowd and have a somewhat original sound and style. I hope it stays that way.
