NO LABELS: PART 01 - EP

The eldest member of Big Hit boy group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (aka TXT), Korean artist Choi Yeonjun uses his solo music to break out of any boxes fourth-generation K-pop may try to put him in. With his solo debut, 2024’s “GGUM,” the idol went against expectations by releasing a quirky hip-hop track worlds away from TXT’s emo-rock/synth-pop sound. On 2025’s <i>NO LABELS: PART 01</i>, the 26-year-old continues to play against K-pop “it boy” type, infusing funk rock, electronica, and old-school hip-hop elements into his EP debut.

<i>NO LABELS: PART 01</i>’s defiant themes are most explicit on “Nothin’ ’Bout Me,” a percussion-driven, brass-infused track that chafes against easy characterizations (“What you want?/I’m my own product/What you want?/Take off my label”), but they’re at their most liberatory on the bold, sexy rock lead single “Talk to You.” KATSEYE member Daniela stops by to feature on the R&B-leaning pop track “Let Me Tell You,” lending her Spanish-language skills to the love song’s seductive chorus.
