The source of the controversy lies in the packaging itself, as fans discovered that accessing the contents of the album requires tearing it open.

TXT, also known as Tomorrow X Together, has earned a dedicated global following for their innovative music and creative concepts. Their latest album, "The Name Chapter: FREEFALL," was already generating substantial excitement before its release. The group's unique blend of pop and experimental sounds has consistently pushed the boundaries of K-pop, and their fans eagerly anticipate each new release.
