TXT’s Soobin Weighs in on Top 3 Hottest Men in Korea

There is little doubt that people often argue about the best-looking people in the entertainment industry. But who are the top 3 hottest men in Korea? TXT leader Soobin shared his thoughts on the debate and one of his choices is a huge surprise!

Soobin Reveals The Top 3 Hottest Men in Korea

TXT members Soobin, Hueningkai, and Beomgyu made a guest appearance on the popular variety show “The K-Star Next Door”. The episode was filled with humorous and chaotic moments as they discussed their group dynamics, relationships with HYBE founder Bang Si Hyuk, and their reputations as “hot guys.”

The conversation turned to their roles in the group’s songs. Beomgyu humorously claimed the title of “master of introductions” since he often sings the opening lines in TXT’s songs. He stated that his role is to capture people’s attention with his talents and handsome visuals, making them curious about which member will follow. However, Soobin playfully challenged him, suggesting that Beomgyu sings the opening lines because he can’t hit the high notes. Beomgyu hilariously pointed out that he and Soobin have the same vocal range, leading to some playful banter.

The host, Jonathan Thona, lightened the mood by asking the members to reveal who the “most good-looking” member was in the room. Soobin proclaimed that there were three “top hot guys” in Korea, including actors Won Bin and Hyun Bin, and humorously named himself as the third.

When Hueningkai was asked for his opinion, he cheekily mentioned that he often sings the chorus of their songs, implying that he receives those lines because of his good looks. Beomgyu intervened, stating that Hueningkai’s high-note abilities were the reason he got those lines. The playful exchange highlighted their camaraderie and sense of humor.

TXT recently released their new single, “Chasing That Feeling,” along with an accompanying music video showcasing their vocal and dance talents, as well as their handsome visuals. The group also continues to charm fans with their music and entertaining variety show appearances.
