On Saturday, June 1, Madison Square Garden is a flurry of activity: It's well before noon and the historic venue has a line of TOMORROW Backstage, the team is loading the equipment and stage that will welcome Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai that night.
“It's time for K-pop,” one of the team members comments to his colleague, while driving a cart through the maze behind the stage. “Oh, it's K-pop time, baby,” is the response.

In the green room backstage, the collective enthusiasm of the TXT members reflects the atmosphere in front; After all, it's their first time playing Madison Square Garden. “When we were driving here from the hotel, I was looking at the artists who had played on this stage,” Taehyun shares. “Seeing that we are playing on the same stage? It is an honor.”
The pair of sold-out shows in New York come near the halfway point of the U.S. leg of the tour, titled “ACT: PROMISE.” “We're seeing our US MOAs getting more and more excited about our concerts,” Hueningkai observes, as his bandmates discuss some highlights from this year's global tour.
For Taehyun, it's Tacoma, where the audience's MOAs made such a fuss before the show that he thought there might have been an earthquake. Yeonjun fondly recounts his night in Oakland, where the wind at the outdoor venue caused the confetti that explodes during “Magic” to stick to the members instead of scattering into the crowd. He and Beomgyu had no choice but to embrace him and model down the long runway they are using for this tour.
