TXT Beomgyu’s Narcissistic Comments Spark Widespread Reactions

TXT’s Beomgyu faces controversy over his comments about his visuals

A video of TXT’s Beomgyu talking about his looks recently blew up online.

He said he acts cute and smiles a lot because his natural expression looks “cold-hearted.” He explained that when fans meet him, they expect a cute face, but end up surprised by how handsome and cold he actually looks. So, he tries to do more aegyo to soften that image.

“Guys, do you know why I’m always so playful, cute, and smiling? When I’m still, people freeze up because I look so cold-hearted. When people see me in real life for the first time, they think I’m going to look cute, but when they see me, they are so surprised because they see someone who is so handsome and looks so cold. My cold-hearted look is really cold. So I deliberately smile more and do more aegyo. You want me to puff my cheeks?”

Soon after, some fans fired back. They said Beomgyu sounded too full of himself for openly calling himself handsome.

“The fact that he says this with his own mouth is so annoying.”

“The problem is not his expression, but the fact that he says that ‘there is a really handsome person’ in such a serious way. I thought for a second that he was on some mission or practicing acting. I’m taken aback by the fact that he’s not talking about being misunderstood for his resting face, but that he’s talking seriously about how handsome he is.”

Some even pointed out that other TXT members share similar self-confidence, calling it part of the group’s image.

“I’ve stanned TXT before, and this group’s storyline is like this. Almost all the members are narcissistic.”

But not everyone sees it as an issue. Many fans said Beomgyu is just being honest about his visuals — something obvious to anyone who knows him.

“He’s talking about him being a handsome guy like it’s nothing, but it’s the truth so I keep nodding my head.”
— Twitter user @bbbbeommm

“Surprisingly enough, it’s the truth. Beomgyu really is a cold, handsome guy.”
— Twitter user @4everyish

“He really knows himself. It’s true, our Beomgyu is a totally cold, handsome man.”
— Twitter user @bora_zzzZZ

The clip still circulates widely, sparking debate over self-confidence vs. vanity in idols.
