The profound narratives of youth by TXT have garnered interest from the publishing industry, leading to a unique cultural collaboration. The publisher Anjeonggaok is hosting a pop-up event titled "What's Wrong with Reading Anything?" from Nov 12th to 25th, at Dopamine Station in the Seoul IPark Mall Yongsan branch. The pop-up features a "TXT Zone" that reinterprets TXT's lyrics into publishing content, showcasing a fresh encounter between music and literature. This collaboration is attracting significant attention as it aligns with the recent "Text Hip" trend among the younger generation, who express their tastes by reading and collecting books. The pop-up highlights TXT's representative songs that have resonated with their generation, spanning from the growing pains of adolescence to the fierce realities of their twenties. Relatable lyrics such as “Do I have to become an adult to be doing well?” ('Can't We Just Let the Monster alive?'), “Give Me Back My Season” ('We Lost the Summer'), “Why Can't That Life Be Mine If It's Mine?” ('Trust Fund Baby'), and “Even Falling Is Beautiful If We're Together” (' LO$ER=LO♡ER ') have been reborn as various publishing content. In particular, excerpts from the lyrics of "Angel Bite," the title track of the 9th mini album "PERFECT STORM" set for release on the 16th, were additionally revealed through this pop-up. The straightforward lyrics, such as “I have nothing, so how can I buy my future?” and “Even if everything is ruined, I still want to be with you,” represent the helplessness and desperation of youth standing on the edge of a cliff, delivering a profound resonance. The main theme of the "TXT Zone," "What's Wrong with Being With You Even If I Have Nothing," was also inspired by this song. At the event, visitors can find a "Zine" package featuring the lyrics of five songs rendered in stylish graphics, paper goods, and stickers, as well as NFC keyrings containing key lyrics and emojis, and "Blind Books"—books recommended by Safehouse wrapped in lyric-themed packaging. Expectations are high that this will perfectly cater to the tastes of Generation Z, as buyers can personally complete their own creations at the "Decorating Zone" within the pop-up. #TOMORROW_X_TOGETHER
