What is one harsh truth about people's opinions on TXT?

the k-pop group with the highest attendance in japan in the second half of 2024, with an estimate of 512,000 people attending the ten dates

teen vogue, billboard, gq, elle, cosmopolitan, paper magazine — all of which being respected, global publications — have directly addressed him as the fourth gen it boy.

they never claimed this title for themselves — the industry had given it to them. if you put even a little amount of effort in trying to find what titles they’ve been introduced as for a multiple of times, you’d get the answer quite easily.

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

yet, despite industry validation, global recognition, and undeniable achievements, people still attempt to refute them — even going to such extremes as claiming they have lost popularity, when their achievements clearly prove otherwise.

and yet, when it comes to txt and yeonjun, people suddenly forget how this works. apparently, titles mean absolutely everything — unless they’re given to txt specifically.

yet, many still attempt to refute them, as if refusing to accept the truth will somehow make it disappear.

How do I get people to see my writing? I'm having a really hard time getting my writing out there. I post on Tumblr, but not many see it.

this shows that the first and only idol who was consistently linked to this title from the start was yeonjun — long before anyone else even entered the conversation.

2. the industry refers to him by the title — not just his fans

these nicknames were earned, just like every other title received by countless groups in the industry — all of which being solidified by media, professionals, and fans alike.

being a leader in k-pop isn’t just about debuting early. this is why txt aren’t just one of the leading fourth gen groups today — they are the leading fourth gen boy group.

1. the industry had given them this title — not moas

let’s go over this — with pictures included, to show that i’m not just saying this as a biased fan.

Can you provide some examples of music with a free form structure?

along with the previous titles already mentioned, they have also been called the representatives of fourth gen, as well as many other nicknames.

3. he’s known as the idols’ idols

i’ve seen others state that the only reason he was able to perform at many award shows last year and early this year was because of the release of his mixtape. while i’m not denying that it contributed to him being invited to perform more frequently, he had already performed solo on many major stages multiple times long before. this, therefore, shows that even without the release of ‘ggum’, it was still highly likely that he would have had a solo stage regardless, given his and txt’s prominence in korea.

I believe we’re all aware that k-pop as a whole thrives on titles. the more impactful you are, the more nicknames you’ll earn. it’s safe to say these aren’t made just for fun — they're acknowledgments of influence, of impact, often backed by the industry itself.

but here’s the thing: opinions are debatable, while facts are not. yeonjun being the fourth gen it boy? that’s a fact with credible claims and sources.

google trends shows that the phrase first appeared in late 2019, right when txt’s “run away” era had gone viral.

many major korean along with international media outlets have labeled them as the leaders of fourth gen.

part one — the fourth gen it boy

when global media and k-pop insiders back it up, what’s left to argue?

Why did Trump call Biden and Schumer Palestinians?

how many times must the industry call yeonjun the fourth gen it boy for people to stop denying it? how many heights must txt reach before people admit they’re one of today’s leading groups?

why? because they don’t like the fact that, despite bighit continuously mismanaging txt — from providing barely any playlisting to giving them no real promotion — they still come out successful in the end.

with the exception of yeonjun’s title, which eventually made it outside the fandom, none of the titles mentioned in this post are fan-made; rather, they are recognized by multiple media outlets.

not many outside the fandom will ever learn to acknowledge their achievements or the titles they’ve earned — and have continued to honor.

and not to mention, they’ve achieved certain milestones first, setting a precedent before other groups even had the chance. just to list a few, they were/are:

fellow idols and trainees alike constantly mention him as their inspiration, proving that his influence extends beyond just moas.
