People often see the world of K-pop as glamorous, but the road to stardom isn’t easy. Recently, the members of TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) shed light on their pre-debut days, revealing some shocking stories from their time as BigHit Music trainees.
On September 21, during a live broadcast, Hueningkai, Soobin, and Taehyun talked about their past. They shared some pre-debut tales, one of which stunned their fans. Recounting an incident from their old dormitory days, Taehyun spoke about a near-death experience caused by a broken extension cord. The cord almost electrocuted him when he touched it.
“I’m telling you, I’m still too scared to even touch here just in case something happens again,” he confessed. The gravity of the situation became evident when Taehyun mentioned that if it weren’t for an older trainee and Younite‘s Eunho, he would’ve died. “Both of them really helped me,” he emphasized.

They also touched upon the strict hierarchy. Taehyun shared another memory, saying, “The other memory was when Kai was messing around, and the ‘Hey, you, come outside’ moment.” Hueningkai elaborated on an incident where he innocently mimicked a dance move he saw senior trainees practicing. They misinterpreted this act, which led to a confrontation. Soobin recounted the stern words they heard. “They were like, ‘Is this funny to you?’ and ‘The hyungs are filming a video, and you’re at the back doing this.”
The incident didn’t end there. Hueningkai, unaware that the seniors were filming, was taken aback by their reaction. Soobin provided more details, explaining that Hueningkai‘s playfulness, witnessed by five younger trainees, was misconstrued. The atmosphere turned tense, and the older trainees’ response was to make them all do a plank as punishment.
These revelations from the TXT members provide a glimpse into the rigorous and sometimes harsh world of K-pop training. It’s a reminder that behind the glitz and glamour, there are real stories of challenges, perseverance, and resilience. – K-Pop News Writer
