■PPULBATU is MOA’s best friend, always with her wherever she goes.
On August 1, TOMORROW X TOGETHER released a video announcing the birth of their official character “PPULBATU” through the group’s official SNS.
PPULBATU is a compound word of “horn (PPUL)” and “TOMORROW X TOGETHER”. The horn, which has appeared as an important symbol in the group’s story since their debut song “One day, horns grew from my head (CROWN)”, adds a special touch to the group. PPULBATU can also be interpreted as “PLUS X TOGETHER”, which represents the joy and happiness that comes from being together.
The video shows the five characters leaving Magic Island to meet MOA (the name for TOMORROW X TOGETHER fans) and crash-landing at an amusement park. It also pays homage to the music video for “Frost” (released in 2021), in which the members go to an amusement park through a portal that connects to another time and space.
The newly opened Instagram account posted a video introducing the characters under a live broadcast concept. The five characters – Choi Yong Meong (SOOBIN), Hwang Choon (YEONJUN), Bamgeut (BEOMGYU), Da-Go-Nyaang (TAEHYUN) and HHM NYA RING (HUENINGKAI) – each have their own unique looks and personalities.
PPULBATU is filled with the hope of becoming “the best friend who is always with MOA, wherever she is.” The five characters were created from sketches drawn by the members themselves, and the group’s opinions were actively reflected in their names, personalities, preferences, and more. Starting with the release of PPULBATU, TOMORROW X TOGETHER plans to launch various projects using it.
