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. Were you aware of HI-BOYZ lore, or were you just as lost as some K-pop fans? Watch the fictional boy group's reunion performance below: Sources: Twitter, YouTube, AllKpop
