On Salon Drip 2, TXT members coolly addressed the rumored discord within the team.
On the 31st, the TEO YouTube channel uploaded a video titled “Here’s a Lyric Survey of an 8-Year Idol.”
The video introduced TXT members with distinct personalities, with the oldest member Yeonjun and the leader Soobin showing their wit. Soobin said, “Honestly, if we appear on Salon Drip, I want to openly talk about our relationships,” which made Jang Do Yeon burst out laughing, asking, “What kind of relationships?” Soobin mentioned, “Fans probably know bit by bit, but there was an awkward period,” referring to internal team strife with Yeonjun.
Yeonjun said, “The story is long,” to which Soobin responded, “Where are you trying to start?” looking flustered. Yeonjun explained, “After finishing my first solo album, I got stressed influenced by what others said,” indicating that his inner world was shaken by others’ opinions.
Soobin laughed, saying, “Yeonjun hyung kept it all inside, worrying it would be a burden, but it showed.” Then Soobin shared, “When I tried to approach him to talk, he tried to hide it tightly, which made me feel hurt.” However, when Yeonjun approached first, Soobin recalled, “After years, he finally opened up to me,” and “I ended up crying that day.” Soobin said, “I was tearing up listening; as a leader, it’s a painful subject,” and added, “It was a tough time for Yeonjun hyung, but I felt good knowing he’s going through a process of becoming a better person.”
Notably, it was revealed that Yeonjun once left the group’s group chat, and Yeonjun said, “The next day, we all gathered and reconciled.” Hueningkai was the member who invited Yeonjun back to the chatroom. When Soobin was asked how he felt when Yeonjun left the chat, he coolly replied, “It was the first and last time.”
Soobin said, “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,” adding, “Now I’ve had to endure it, but when I gave him time, he made me wait for half a year,” provoking laughter.
