On April 19, BigHit Music released another teaser for TXT’s upcoming album, minisode 2: Thursday’s Child. The video teaser shows a rose burning and counting down to the day of the comeback.

As the teaser falls into the group’s planned Spoiler Week activity, MOAs, the group’s fandom, took out their detective hats and tried connecting the short clip with their previous universe stories.

The five-member group from BigHit Music is gearing up for their fourth EP. Their last Korean release was the repackaged album The Chao Chapter: FIGHT or ESCAPE in August last year. After months of waiting, fans are as ready as ever for the new album's release.

The five-member K-pop group, TXT, or TOMORROW X TOGETHER, will be returning with a Korean album comeback in May. The promotions for minisode 2: Thursday’s Child specifically include Spoiler Week, which aims to create more buzz around the comeback and give fans a chance to immerse themselves in the universe that TXT is building.

The latest teaser for minisode 2: Thursday’s Child is a video teaser that shows a red rose in flames. The visual changes into a negative film for a millisecond, showing a ‘D-20’ countdown. The teaser ends with the group’s new logo for the comeback era.

MOAs took to social media to create theories about the burning rose and its connection to the upcoming album’s name and previous album releases. One fan connected the lyrics of released songs and scenes from the teasers that show an object or area burning, to the latest teaser.

The same fan even theorized that the upcoming album might complete the Korean title of Can’t You See Me?.

Other theories included the meaning of different colors the rose turns, a burning rose symbol, props at a previous music show stage, and more.

Meanwhile, the group members have also been posting cryptic pictures with #Spoiler_for_MOA in the caption as part of the Soiler Week content.

TXT has had multiple defining moments in its three-year career. The group topped Billboard’s 25 Best K-pop Songs of 2021: Critics’ Picks, with their song 0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You) feat. Seori from their second studio album, The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE.

TXT was also the only K-pop act featured on Rolling Stone's The 50 Best Albums of 2021 with their repackaged album, The Chaos Chapter: FIGHT or ESCAPE.

BigHit Music will start releasing minisode 2: Thursday’s Child’s concept teaser photos on April 23. The first concept will be the MESS version on the same date.

The album will be released on May 9 at 6.00 pm KST, followed by a comeback show at 8.00 pm KST.
