Popular 5th Gen K-Pop Group Members Reveal Internal Discord

TXT addresses rumored internal conflict on “Salon Drip 2”

The controversy began when the TEO YouTube channel posted a video on the 31st titled “Here’s a Lyric Survey of an 8-Year Idol,” featuring candid moments with TXT members.

In the video, leader Soobin and oldest member Yeonjun opened up about a tense period within the group. Soobin said,

“Honestly, if we appear on Salon Drip, I want to openly talk about our relationships,”

which made comedian Jang Do Yeon laugh and ask,

“What kind of relationships?”

Soobin revealed,

“Fans probably know bit by bit, but there was an awkward period,”

hinting at internal struggles with Yeonjun.

Yeonjun added,

“The story is long,”

and explained,

“After finishing my first solo album, I got stressed influenced by what others said,”

showing how outside opinions affected him deeply.

Soobin described Yeonjun’s silence during that time:

“Yeonjun hyung kept it all inside, worrying it would be a burden, but it showed.”

He continued,

“When I tried to approach him to talk, he tried to hide it tightly, which made me feel hurt.”

The breakthrough came when Yeonjun finally opened up first. Soobin recalled,

“After years, he finally opened up to me,”

and

“I ended up crying that day.”

He added,

“I was tearing up listening; as a leader, it’s a painful subject,”

and

“It was a tough time for Yeonjun hyung, but I felt good knowing he’s going through a process of becoming a better person.”

The video also revealed Yeonjun once left the group’s chatroom. Yeonjun said,

“The next day, we all gathered and reconciled.”

Hueningkai was the member who invited Yeonjun back. When asked about his feelings on Yeonjun leaving the chat, Soobin replied coolly,

“It was the first and last time.”

Soobin described their different ways of handling conflict:

“We always fight and then drink together after making up. I’m the type to resolve things immediately, but Yeonjun hyung needs time, so it was hard for both of us,”

and joked,

“Now I’ve had to endure it, but when I gave him time, he made me wait for half a year.”

Fans quickly reacted to this rare glimpse into TXT’s team dynamics, appreciating their honesty and growth. As the situation unfolded, it’s clear the group values communication and healing despite past struggles.
