What is one harsh truth about people's opinions on TXT?
Last Updated: 03.07.2025 02:40
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.
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?
yet, many still attempt to refute them, as if refusing to accept the truth will somehow make it disappear.

so, who exactly is out here denying it? some random user on twitter? don’t make me laugh.

but denying reality won’t change any of the images i’ve added in this post.
2. the industry refers to him by the title — not just his fans
google trends shows that the phrase first appeared in late 2019, right when txt’s “run away” era had gone viral.

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

the media recognizes it, idols acknowledge it, his career proves it yet some people still try to argue.

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.

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.

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

many love acting like the title was just something moas made up, but a quick search easily proves otherwise.

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.

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:

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, 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.

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.

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.

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

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.
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.
