TXT’s Hueningkai Responds to Claims of Drinking with Woman in Private Room
TXT’s Hueningkai is facing controversy after being spotted on an alleged date.
The drama started when an anonymous account claimed Hueningkai was drinking with a girl late into the night in a private room at a bar known for such rooms. He was also seen helping the girl into a car afterward.
On October 10, 2025, Hueningkai addressed the rumors on Weverse. He explained he met a friend since it was the Chuseok holiday and the bar was the only place open. He also said he stayed to help her get home safely and then returned to the dorm.
“I’m going to just say this because I’m so sorry to MOAs, and also because I don’t know why I should have to avoid [speaking about it]. I was with someone I knew, and it was a situation where I could not leave them and go, so I took them home and went straight back to the dorms myself. We ended up going there because it was the holidays and that was the only open place left.
I have hated bringing harm to the members since debut, and I’m someone who’s a total homebody, so I rarely go out, but I ended up meeting my acquaintance for the first time in a long while, but it ended up like that, so I really delibereated on what to do. But I really couldn’t leave them alone, so I just quickly took them home and came back to the dorms. This was what happened, but firstly,I’m so sorry to have worried you guys.
I’m someone who hates lying, so I wanted to tell you honestly. I think that the situation could call for much misunderstandings, but there’s absolutely nothing for MOAs to worry about. I really want to focus more on my job and on MOAs, so I’ll work harder such that you don’t have to worry anymore in the future. I’m so sorry that I might have hurt MOAs, the members, and the company staff. I don’t know how this message will be read, and I’m sorry if it doesn’t come across well. I said that I wanted to be someone trustworthy, and I’m sorry because I feel that I wasn’t able to do that.”
