Opening in a barren desert, the trailer follows the quintet's bond with a fox, transitioning from a whimsical memory to a stark reality. Encountering the fox in a bustling cityscape triggers memories of a forgotten promise, leading to a renewed sense of hope for the future.
The trailer also evokes nostalgia and recalls the band’s overarching musical narrative, seamlessly weaving in elements of past albums, such as a crown (debut lead single “Crown”) and a heart-shaped eye patch (second studio album “The Chaos Chapter: Freeze” concept photo), as well as an acoustic rendition of "Dreamer" (a B-side track of their third studio album “The Name Chapter: Freefall”).
Directed by Yu Kwang Goeng, one of South Korea’s leading directors in the commercial film space, the intricate mise-en-scène and stunning cinematography offer viewers a captivating visual feast.
Beginning on March 18, Tomorrow X Together sequentially released a series of photos and clips for the album’s four concepts—”Light,” “Ethereal,” “Romantic” and “Promise.”
The “Light” version concept photos bring fairytale to life, painting a serene portrait of the members with blonde hair against a picturesque scene of a wheat field lit up by a golden sunset.
“Ethereal” version, themed “Highway to Star,” illustrates the quintet's road towards becoming tomorrow's leaders. Dressed in rebellious rockstar-like attire adorned with bold accessories, the members embody allure and confidence that exudes past the screen.
The “Romantic” version further highlights the band’s dreamy visuals, heightening the romantic atmosphere with the use of a rose to symbolize the remembrance of love.
The “Promise” version, released on March 24, offers a visual interpretation of the album’s message centered around the rediscovery of a forgotten promise made with “you.” The concept photos and clip, with the fox mask appearing as a meaningful object, shows the members navigating through the city in search of “you” to fulfill their long-awaited promise.
By incorporating iconic and nostalgic elements from Tomorrow X Together’s discography, the concept trailer, photos, and clips for “minisode 3: Tomorrow” not only connect the band’s multifaceted overarching narrative, but also visually capture the album’s message, showcasing their unparalleled artistry as visual storytellers.
