TXT's Taehyun reveals abusive training days at the company that launched K-pop legends BTS: ‘We did get hit back then…'
The K-pop industry is no stranger to stories about how tough it can be for idols before they debut. Behind the glamour and global stardom lies a notoriously competitive system where young trainees are pushed to their limits. But over time, as K-pop has gone international and idols have found support in millions of fans worldwide, the industry has slowly started to leave behind some of its harsher, more conservative practices. TXT's Soobin and Taehyun Recently, TXT leader Soobin shed light on just how intense those trainee years were. In a now-viral clip from a Weverse livestream, he revealed that both he and his bandmate Taehyun were subjected to physical punishments while learning choreography. According to Soobin, this all happened when they were still kids. 'This was when me and Taehyun had just been dancing for a week or two we were both extremely young kids, 8th and 10th graders who couldn't even stretch our arms out properly…the seventeen hyungs do really hard choreographies, right? And they suddenly asked us to dance to this song and it's not even like the teacher taught us the choreography, they told us to learn it ourselves by watching the video so me and Taehyun watched the video at 0.5x to learn the choreography and it seemed reallllly tough, so it was a given that we wouldn't be able to dance well to it.' To which Soobin added, '(Sighs) Taehyun ended up saying it but we did get hit back then…we got hit while we learnt it…' The leader further admitted that some other trainees actually had it even worse than them. While the revelation was shocking for many fans, Soobin reassured them that the industry is no longer the same. 'They had physical punishments back then but if they physically punish someone now, they'd get in huge trouble,' he said. For MOAs (TXT's fandom), the livestream was a mix of emotions — heartbreaking to hear what their idols endured as middle schoolers, but also relieving to know the industry has made progress since then. 'This is actually so heartbreaking and I hope him and everyone else who endured this treatment have healed and are okay… that company can go to h3ll like,' was one comment under the post. One more comment said, 'I'm glad they talked about it, people need to realise what this industry is like. I'm glad they're not beating people up any more, but that doesn't mean they're not being treated harshly anymore :(.' Another concerned fan wrote, 'This is so upsetting how was this allowed???' TXT, short for Tomorrow X Together, is a five-member boy band under Big Hit Entertainment — the same label that launched global icons BTS. The lineup includes Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai. They officially entered the K-pop scene in 2019, with their debut EP The Dream Chapter: Star, fronted by the energetic title track Crown.

'Someone check on Sydney Sweeney': KATSEYE ace GAP jeans ad amid American Eagle backlash; fans compare it to Beyoncé's Levi's shoot
Talk about striking while the iron is hot! That's exactly what global girl group KATSEYE and GAP pulled off with their sizzling new jeans ad, dropping at the perfect moment amid the storm surrounding Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle campaign and Beyoncé's Levi's ad. Fans quickly went wild, praising KATSEYE's spot and urging others to follow their bold lead. The jeans controversy The denim drama began on July 23, 2025, when American Eagle released a campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney in seven head-to-toe denim costumes. What should have been a humorous phrase - "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans" - sparked a surge of outrage, with many online accusing the brand of poor taste and even implying eugenics undertones. In the midst of the controversy, focus shifted to Beyoncé's partnership with Levi's. A denim-on-denim masterclass was worn by the music star during the February launch of Pool Hall, the second chapter of their "Reimagine" campaign. Paired with a strappy vest and an embroidered jacket and their iconic Levi's trousers, Beyoncé looked stunning. Fans immediately pointed out the startling parallels between her images and Sweeney's American Eagle ad, which sparked a contentious side-by-side discussion on social media. So Beyoncé can pose in Levi jeans and it's art…But when a white woman does it, it's a national crisis? KATSEYE's impeccable timing Then came August 19, 2025. GAP's global Fall campaign featured KATSEYE front and center, and the internet hasn't stopped buzzing since. Robbie Blue's choreography brings the exciting 90-second show, titled "Better in Denim," to life to Kelis' well-known "Milkshake" song. The advertising does more than just spotlight denim; it transforms low-rise jeans into a cultural phenomenon. Fans crown KATSEYE the winner The move couldn't have come at a better time. Social media erupted as fans and Redditors compared the three high-profile denim campaigns - and the verdict was clear. One Redditor wrote, "Outside of this being an incredibly well-done ad, the timing is impeccable. Talk about striking while the iron is hot." Many argued that KATSEYE didn't just match the hype - they blew the competition out of the water.

Dallas Mavericks' Klay Thompson is relishing life off the court, influenced by his relationship with Megan Thee Stallion, evident in their shared social media moments. A recent video reveals Thompson's fondness for Megan's catfish and spaghetti dish, which he has discovered recently but will love for the rest of his life. Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson is enjoying a new chapter of his life, mainly off the court. Social media is proof that he is largely influenced by his relationship with Megan Thee Stallion . This has nothing really to do with their specific basketball or music lives, but just in general humane activities. Their online presence shows them being together during gym workouts and fishing trips. However, a recent video shared by Stallion herself shows them having the best time together with their meal. Klay Thompson enjoys Catfish and Spaghetti Megan captioned, 'Out of everything I've cooked for him so far, he keeps asking for spaghetti and catfish 😂🍝,' while revealing a unique tradition. In the clip, Megan explained that Klay, who was unfamiliar with the combination of spaghetti and catfish, became hooked after she first prepared it for him. Since then his life has changed and his tastebuds crave his new found love her handmade dish. 'Ever since, he's asked for it, like, every week,' she said. Klay later savored the dish on camera and said, 'It's the best thing I've ever tasted, my favorite meal, catfish, spaghetti, and Hawaiian rolls. It's giving greatness… it was amazing.' Megan Thee Stallion's 2020 'shooting' incident has an update After a fight in 2020, Tory Lanez shot Megan Thee Stallion. As a result, Lanez was found guilty of charges such as assault with a firearm. He is presently incarcerated for ten years. Unexpectedly, Lanez submitted two petitions to contest his conviction and claim his innocence. Journalist Meghann Cuniff claims that one petition claimed that Kelsey Harris, Megan's ex-friend, was the shooter. The petition was backed up by a security guard who reportedly saw the event and verified that Lanez did not fire. In the 2020 case, Lanez's driver did not testify against him, according to the second petition. The California Court of Appeals, however, denied both appeals on August 12, 2025. Stallion hasn't said much about the situation publicly, but her legal team made it clear that Lanez was 'tried and convicted by a jury of his peers,' standing firm on the verdict. While Lanez is still serving his sentence, Megan's team is fully supportive of the judicial decision, emphasizing how fair the trial process was.
