Yeonjun, a charismatic member of the K-pop quintet TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), recently connected with fans on Weverse Live. Recognizing the lateness of the hour, he began his broadcast by saying, “If you’re sleepy, you can sleep! It’s OK, go to bed if you’re tired.” He chuckled when one fan said they could bear being sleepy but couldn’t handle missing out on seeing him.
His genuine affection for his fans, known as MOAs, was palpable throughout the chat. “Did I come on too late? I don’t think it’s been that long, though. You’re asking if I’m sleepy? I’m okay! It’s been so long since I was able to stay in and talk to MOAs. It has some sort of midnight vibe, and I love it. If you’re sleepy, put me to the side and sleep. Or you can just watch tomorrow through the replay!”

Yeonjun is busy with comeback prep
Shifting the focus to TXT‘s activities, Yeonjun provided insights into their preparations for The Name Chapter: FREEFALL. “I’ve been diligently preparing for our comeback. We had schedules all day, but nothing big, just dance practice. The rest of the boys got off work, but I’m still at the company working on music. ‘Were there tough times?’” he said, reading a fan’s comment. “Yes, but I overcame all of them. For this comeback, I’m excited about MOA’s reaction. Just imagining MOA’s smiling and laughing makes my heart flutter and makes me feel thrilled.”
His recent change in appearance also became a topic of discussion. “My hair is pink now. Do you want me to take off my hat? I put it on because I didn’t like how my hair looked, but if MOAs think it looks OK, I don’t mind keeping it off. Let me know if it looks OK. Salmon hair? Oh, it does kind of look like that.”

A reflective turn
The conversation then took a reflective turn as Yeonjun discussed the Smoke Challenge. For those unfamiliar, the Smoke Challenge originated as a dance choreographed by dancer Bada Lee. It gained widespread popularity, prompting several idols to take on the challenge. However, what was initially intended as something fun soon evolved into a platform for K-pop enthusiasts to engage in spirited discussions about the abilities of their favorite idols. Furthermore, some seized this opportunity to praise those who executed the dance skillfully, often asserting that they possess a natural aptitude for the stage or that elusive “it” factor. Conversely, idols they felt didn’t dance as well faced ridicule, with some fans questioning their talent.
Sharing his thoughts on the matter, Yeonjun said, “I did watch Hueningkai’s smoke challenge, but I have no plans of doing it. I’m kind of half-half on whether I want to do it. I don’t know… it’d be nice to film it, and MOAs would like it, but the meaning of challenges has changed. Not everyone will like it and leave a nice comment. Of course, I’d do it for MOAs, but I don’t know why people argue about who did the challenge better. When did dance challenges become an actual battle? I’ll be honest; I’ve seen negative comments like those. I think Hueningkai did a great job, too. Why do people have to compare?”
@txt.bighitent THIS you will be Back for More. With @kirstendodgen @Audrey Lane @lingzhangx @e @Latrice @JamRepublicAgency #투모로우바이투게더 #TOMORROW_X_TOGETHER #TXT #YEONJUN #HUENINGKAI #JAMREPUBLIC #Anitta #TheNameChapter #FREEFALL #BackforMore
Wrapping up
Wrapping up the conversation, he said, “I have to go back home and shower, then sleep, so I’m going to get going now. I’ll be back soon! Do you feel like you’re going to get nightmares? OK, I’ll stay for a few more seconds so you can stare at my face. Look at me for three seconds before you go to bed so I’ll appear in your dreams.”
This intimate conversation was a clear testament to Yeonjun‘s deep bond with MOAs. His genuine care and transparency left fans with a heartwarming experience, eagerly awaiting TXT‘s next moves. – K-Pop News Writer
