TXT : A year‑end gift from HUENINGKAI

HUENINGKAI of the group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) shared, as the year comes to a close, a cover video of a Christmas song for the fans.

On December 22 at 6 p.m. KST, the video and audio of the cover of “Only thing I ever get for Christmas”, performed by HUENINGKAI, were released via TXT’s official SNS as well as on SoundCloud.

This song is from the Christmas album “UNDER THE MISTLETOE“, released in 2011 by Justin Bieber, and expresses the hope that wishes shared with a loved one may come true.

While keeping the warm atmosphere of the original version, HUENINGKAI added his own interpretation. With a soft and delicate voice, he calmly conveys his message to his loved one, further enhancing the sweetness and heartbeat-like feel of the song. The sweet melody combined with nuanced emotional expression has received very positive feedback and captivates listeners.

The video, released alongside the audio, also draws attention by capturing natural everyday moments of HUENINGKAI. Joyful scenes at home with his cat contrast with more solitary year-end moments. The camera work, seemingly following the cat’s gaze, also stands out.

The video concludes with HUENINGKAI looking affectionately at his cat, followed by a scene where he wakes up smiling after hearing meows coming from outside the door, leaving a warm and comforting impression.

Through BigHit Music, HUENINGKAI stated:

“Fans were waiting for my cover, and I wanted to give them this gift for the year‑end. The lyrics of this song fully convey the message I wanted to share, which is why I chose it. I hope the MOA have a happy year‑end listening to ‘Only thing I ever get for Christmas‘ performed by me.”

In addition, TOMORROW X TOGETHER actively continues its year-end activities in both Korea and Japan, asserting its presence as a “year-end group”. They will perform on the 25th at “2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon”, the 29th at NTV “Annual Music Awards” in Japan, the 30th at “Countdown Japan 25/26”, and the 31st at “2025 MBC Gayo Daejejeon”.

They will also appear on the show “2025 Music Bank Global Festival IN JAPAN”, broadcast on the 30th. During the recent edition of this event in Japan, the group received an enthusiastic response from the local audience thanks to an impressive performance.
