Did you know TXT's Soobin fell for a fan during chaotic situation? Reveals his ideal dating type
For most K-pop fans, the idea of their favorite idol falling in love with a fan feels like the ultimate daydream. But for TXT's Soobin, it wasn't just a fantasy — it happened. During a candid conversation on the YouTube show Pixid, Soobin opened up about his ideal type and surprised everyone by sharing a moment when he found himself genuinely drawn to a fan in real life. As the topic of love and dating came up, Soobin described himself as someone who prefers strong, confident partners. 'I like being emotionally led,' he admitted with a shy smile. 'I have a pretty passive personality, so I feel most at ease when someone else takes the lead.' That's when he shared a story that made fans' hearts skip a beat. 'There was a time when we were heading to a schedule, and things got a little out of control,' Soobin recalled. 'The crowd was too close, and it got kind of dangerous. Our car couldn't move. It was complete chaos.' In the middle of all that, one fan stood out. 'She shouted, 'Our boys are in danger! Move!' — and the way she said it, so boldly, really struck me. I was just like, 'Wow… that's so cool,'' he said, placing his hand over his heart as he remembered the moment. The host joked, 'So you're into tough types?' and Soobin didn't hesitate. 'I think so,' he laughed. Of course, it didn't take long for MOA (TXT's fandom) to explode online, and they are pretty hilarious. One fan comments, 'That fan just unlocked a whole new level of main character energy.' Another shares, 'He better not be describing me because I did scream something similar once.' Another TXT Fan comments, 'Soobin is so real for this — assertiveness is attractive!' Some fans even started joking that they'd start training their 'stage voices' in case another opportunity arose. While the mystery fan may never know the effect that fan had, Soobin's honest confession reminds us that idols, too, have real emotions. And sometimes, a single powerful moment in the crowd can leave a lasting impression on someone you never expected.

(Video) K-pop Fans React To HI-BOYZ's Reunion Performance; Who Exactly Are They?
K-pop fans have been lighting up social media after boy group HI-BOYZ (하이보이즈) recently reunited on stage to perform their hit single 'When the Day Comes' on Mnet's M Countdown. While many were thrilled by the comeback, others were left slightly confused. Who exactly are HI-BOYZ? When and why did they disband? And why do the members look far too young for a group that supposedly broke up 12 years ago? The answer is simple: they never existed in the first place. Here's the story: For context, HI-BOYZ is a fictional K-pop boy band created for the K-drama 'Resident Playbook'. In the series, the main character, Um Jae-il (played by Kang You-seok, 강유석), was once a member of the group before it disbanded. He later goes on to pursue a career as a medical professional at Yulje Medical Centre. Two of his former bandmates, Top Key and D.I, are played by TXT's Yeonjun (최연준) and Soobin (수빈), respectively. Since the episode aired and a special music video was released, fans have been playfully acting as though they've been eagerly awaiting a HI-BOYZ reunion and comeback. When the boy group performed their hit single 'When the Day Comes' on Mnet's M Countdown yesterday (Thursday, 22nd May), those familiar with the show, particularly TXT fans, played along on social media, reacting to the 'reunion' performance as both devoted fans and playful haters. It didn't take long for the performance to go viral, thanks in large part to HI-BOYZ's most dedicated fans. Naturally, this left some K-pop fans puzzled, as many had no idea what was going on or who the boy group even was. The confusion only deepened when viewers noticed that most of the members looked far too young to be in their thirties, as the storyline would suggest. A few who recognised Yeonjun and Soobin were also confused as to why they were in a different group with different stage names. It's hard not to admire the level of commitment to the bit. 'Resident Playbook''s promotional campaign has been both clever and entertaining, especially for fans of TXT and the drama alike.

(Video) TXT Fans Lose It Over Soobin & Hueningkai's Pepero Challenge ‘Kiss'
If you're unfamiliar with the world of K-pop, you may not realise just how popular the Pepero Challenge is. The game involves two idols (usually of the same gender and from the same group), with one holding one end of a Pepero biscuit in their mouth while the other bites the opposite end until it breaks. This means there's always the possibility of their lips touching. The game may seem innocent enough, but fans are always quick to react to this kind of skinship between members. TOMORROW X TOGETHER (투모로우바이투게더) are the latest idol group to take on the challenge, and the video has caused a meltdown across social media. Watch: Over the weekend, SBSKPOP X Inkigayo shared a video featuring members of TXT taking part in various games and challenges during the latest episode of their variety segment. One of the highlights was the famous Pepero Challenge. Leader Soobin (수빈) and maknae Hueningkai (휴닝카이) teamed up for the game, and the result sent fans into a frenzy. Before starting, the 22-year-old asked his older member for consent, warning that he was planning to go 'all in' to complete the challenge. Sure enough, the singer did just that. As seen in the screenshots above, Hueningkai tilted his head while gently holding Soobin's as he ate the Pepero biscuit from his end, continuing until their lips appeared to touch, leaving just a 1cm piece of the treat. The challenge continued with the other members also taking part – Beomgyu (범규) was paired with Taehyun (태현), while Hueningkai had to do the challenge again, this time with Yeonjun (최연준). Soobin and Hueningkai's Pepero Challenge instantly went viral online, with MOAs (TXT fans) and K-pop enthusiasts alike expressing both amusement and surprise. Many were excited by the two members taking the challenge to the extreme, while others shared clips of other idols who have also gone viral for participating in this intimate game. Fans also defended TXT against 'queerbaiting' allegations, emphasising that the members are simply very comfortable with each other and that their music sales continue to thrive. Would you take on the challenge with your group members? Do you think you can break Soobin and Hueningkai's record? Watch the full episode below, or skip to 26:40 for the viral moment: Sources: YouTube, Twitter (1)(2)

TXT Fans Can't Keep Calm As Kai And Soobin Share ‘Kiss' In Inkigayo Episode
Last Updated: Tomorrow X Together's (TXT) Soobin and Hueningkai have set the internet ablaze with their alleged kiss. Tomorrow X Together (TXT) members Soobin and Hueningkai—also known as Kai—have sent their fandom into a frenzy yet again. A clip from the K-pop band's Inkigayo episode, which came out on May 16, has gone viral. The members, in the video, were challenged to play a classic game—Pepero—where two people must nibble on a cookie stick using just their mouths. The one who ends up with the shortest remaining piece wins. While Taehyun-Beomgyu and Yeonjun-Hueningkai made great efforts to win the game, it was Soobin and Kai who stole the show. The moment which made the fans' jaws drop happened when the last centimetre of the cookie was left, however, Kai refused to back down. He got so close in an attempt to win the game that his lips almost brushed against Soobin's. Kai grabbed Soobin by his neck to bridge the gap when the latter stepped back momentarily. The 'kiss' left the members in splits. The now-viral clip has made Moments of Alwaysness (MOA)—TXT's fandom—come up with the most hilarious reactions. Some were shocked, others laughed the entire event away, while a few claimed they needed a little time to 'cool down" after witnessing the scene. TXT's Soobin and Kai are very close in a recent video. — About Music (@AboutMusicYT) May 16, 2025 One of the users said that if they had been in Soobin's position, they would have fallen for Kai. 'I would question what we are every time I met Kai's eyes after all that," they added. Some fans declared Kai the 'real kisser" of the group and another one joked they want to be a TXT member in the next life. However, some users also accused them of queerbaiting. What's New With TXT? Soobin and Yeonjun recently appeared as guest stars in the Netflix K-drama Resident Playbook. They played members of a fictional boy group HI-BOYZ. The plot traced the life of former idol Um Jae-Il, portrayed by Kang You-Seok, with the trio even filming a special performance for the series. Their song When the Day Comes was released as part of the OST. HI-BOYZ will appear on M Countdown soon. First Published:
