Troubling Yet Uplifting: Beomgyu’s Mixtape “Panic”
On March 27, 2025, BigHit Music unveiled “Panic,”a mixtape by Beomgyu of TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), across various streaming services including Melon, Genie, Spotify, FLO, and VIBE. The release was accompanied by a poignant music video, available on HYBE LABELS’ official YouTube channel.
Expressive Visuals and Heartfelt Themes
The three-minute and sixteen-second music video captures Beomgyu in an intimate exploration of his emotions. Set against the backdrop of a narrow alley, the visuals feature the artist dressed casually as he expresses moments of despair, including scenes of him running towards a closed door, restlessly lying in bed, and grappling with feelings of neglect.
In a metaphorical depiction of his internal struggle, the video presents him in a room submerged underwater, symbolizing both depression and heartbreak. However, the narrative takes a hopeful turn as Beomgyu ultimately emerges from this darkness, symbolizing personal growth and self-discovery.
