TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT)'s Beomgyu has finally released his first solo music! On March 27, 2025 at 6 p.m. KST, Beomgyu officially dropped his solo mixtape ' Panic ' along with its accompanying music video.
As reported by Soompi on Friday March 28, 2025, this song, which was written by Beomgyu himself, displays a strong rock band feel and conveys a message about facing fears and moving forward even though the world feels cold.
Beomgyu hopes that through this song, people can open their hearts more. Released via HYBE LABELS' YouTube channel, the music video for 'Panic' depicts a dark and atmospheric mood, with a cinematic narrative that reflects the emotional lyrics.
The song explores themes of anxiety, inner turmoil, and self-reflection. Beomgyu took center stage with his expressive vocals and deep acting. Fans praised 'Panic' for its honest story and Beomgyu's stunning performance both musically and visually.
As reported by K-en News on the same Friday March 28, 2025, Beomgyu revealed that the song and music video for 'Panic' are a reflection of his inner world. The video depicts him trapped in a dark room with water slowly rising, thick fog enveloping him, and waves threatening him from behind.
What should be a safe space turns into a suffocating trap, illustrating the emotional stress and isolation that panic can bring. But instead of giving up, Beomgyu started fighting back with music. He wrote lyrics on the wall, picked up a guitar, and started singing.
A symbol of hope appears in the form of flying dandelion seeds, and finally, Beomgyu manages to escape the confined space into the light of freedom and emotional release. The concept of this video is not just a label's direction, but rather came from Beomgyu's own thoughts.
" When I'm panicking, it feels like I'm alone in the world, " he said. " I wanted to show that feeling in a real way in this video. " He also added, " In this video, I faced various obstacles and difficulties, but what I wanted to show is that in the end, I was able to overcome everything and come out of the darkness.
" For Beomgyu, this project was a big challenge, especially since it was his first time filming alone. " I was nervous when I first filmed alone. I was worried about the results, but thanks to the support of the TXT members and staff, I was able to enjoy the process," he said.
'Panic' is not just a song with a typical rock band feel, but also an honest expression of Beomgyu's feelings and thoughts." From the beginning, this song fully reflects my ideas and taste in music. I truly hope that my music can provide comfort and strength for people to move forward," he said.
The success of 'Panic' is not only seen from the positive fan response, but also from its achievements on various charts. Reported from Soompi , just a few hours after its release, 'Panic' managed to dominate the iTunes charts in various countries.
As of March 28, 2025 at 9 a.m. KST, the song had already topped iTunes Top Songs in at least 11 regions, including Japan and Russia. The song also charted in 43 other territories worldwide, including the United States and the United Kingdom. Not only that, within five hours of its release, 'Panic' had reached the second position on the Line Music Japan realtime chart.
The music video also made it to YouTube's Top Trending Music Videos list in eight different regions, including Korea, Japan, Singapore, and New Zealand. The hashtag related to this song even reached third place in the global trending list on X (formerly Twitter).
