TOMORROW X TOGETHER has wrapped up their first-ever pop-up event in China since their debut. From June 28 to July 2, the group (comprising Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, Huening Kai) hosted the 'TOMORROW X TOGETHER minisode 3: TOMORROW POP-UP in Beijing' at Galleria Shopping Center. This event follows their previous pop-up in Seoul, held to celebrate their mini 6th album 'minisode 3: TOMORROW' in April.

The Beijing pop-up recreated the album's storyline, focusing on "remembering past promises and embarking on a journey to find 'you' whom they promised together."

It featured various photo zones that were popular at their Seoul event, showcasing behind-the-scenes photos and key album artifacts.

The symbolic crown worn by the members in album concept photos was also prominently displayed, enriching its significance. Special merchandise unique to the Beijing event, including exclusive T-shirts, received a warm reception from fans.

In addition to their pop-up success, TOMORROW X TOGETHER recently dropped their Japanese single 'CHIKAI' on July 3.

They performed the title track 'We'll Never Change' for the first time at the '2024 FNS Kayousai Summer' on the same day, highlighting their active presence in the Japanese market.

Kim Jae Joong made fans laugh and smile with a surprising story about his childhood and his very first kiss!

On the April 29 episode of SBS's Dolsing Fourmen, Kim Jae Joong appeared as a guest alongside Gwedo and Ham Soo Hyun. He opened up about his big family and shared some heartwarming—and hilarious—memories.

“I’m the youngest of nine siblings,” he said. “I have eight older sisters.” The hosts were shocked when he added, “One of my nieces is pregnant, so I’m about to become a grandfather!” His playful comment made everyone burst into laughter.

When asked if having so many sisters made dating or marriage harder, Jae Joong said, “I won’t introduce my family until right before the wedding. I think it’s too risky. Even my sisters and other relatives will meet her for the first time at the wedding.” His honesty and humor had everyone cracking up.

Kim Jun Ho then asked, “Is it true that your sisters even managed your kisses?” Jae Joong shared a cute memory from elementary school. “I had a bold friend who walked with me to my house. We kissed in front of my gate, and I thought, ‘So this is what a kiss feels like.’ But later, I found out my sister had approved it. She had told me, ‘You can do it.’ My sisters were watching everything.”

Tak Jae Hoon joked, “That sounds like how someone would stop you from petting a puppy.” Jae Joong laughed and added, “Even if I fall in love, I don’t want that person getting too close to my sisters too fast. I don’t want it to feel like she’s already part of the family before we’re ready.”

Gwedo added, “Honestly, that kind of thinking might be good for your future wife.”

When asked if becoming a top idol changed things in the family, Kim Jae Joong said, “I used to feel like the leader, even though I was the youngest. But when I got older, I realized I can’t take care of everything with money alone. My sisters give their time and effort, and together, it means more.”

He also said that his sisters don’t really talk about money issues. “They’re so quiet about it, it’s frustrating,” he joked. “I wish they’d say more so I could at least hear the rumors! But they just quietly notice when one of them is struggling. I just want to be remembered as a thankful little brother.”

Fans were touched by how much Kim Jae Joong loves his family—and how even his first kiss had to go through a “sister approval system”.
