TOMORROW X TOGETHER is the latest K-pop group to perform on Tiny Desk Korea, taking to the intimate live concert program to perform a trio of songs.
In the video, released to NPR’s official YouTube page on Monday (Nov. 27), members Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun and HueningKai sat next to each other in a blue room, complete with a small library and just enough space for the trio of backup singers, instrumentalists and some decoration to liven up the space.
For the set, the K-pop group delivered performances from their recently released album, The Name Chapter: Temptation, which was released on Oct. 13 and hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The quartet kicked off their performance with a laid-back version of “Skipping Stones,” hitting the track’s high notes with ease and getting help with intricate harmonies from the backup singers.
“Hello, we are TOMORROW X TOGETHER. First of all, thank you for inviting us to Tiny Desk Korea. We are so grateful to be here,” the boys said in Korean, before introducing the members of their backing band and heading into the subsequent tracks. “This gives us the opportunity to present our music in a different light. We’re going to have so much fun.”
“Happily Ever After” was up next for the boys; whereas the original features bouncy, dance instrumentals and synth, the Tiny Desk version of the track was slightly jazzier while maintaining its upbeat nature, and featured the K-pop stars all joining in for the infectious “la la la la la” portion of the chorus. The set concluded with the second The Name Chapter: Temptation single “Chasing That Feeling” and giving the crowd, as well as their band, a heartfelt thank you.
