What is one harsh truth about people's opinions on TXT?
Last Updated: 01.07.2025 20:07
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.
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.
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.

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

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?

3. he’s known as the idols’ idols

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.

the media recognizes it, idols acknowledge it, his career proves it yet some people still try to argue.
when global media and k-pop insiders back it up, what’s left to argue?

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.
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.

but denying reality won’t change any of the images i’ve added in this post.
1. the term exists because of him
fellow idols and trainees alike constantly mention him as their inspiration, proving that his influence extends beyond just moas.

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.
let’s go over this — with pictures included, to show that i’m not just saying this as a biased fan.
yet, many still attempt to refute them, as if refusing to accept the truth will somehow make it disappear.

part one — the fourth gen it boy
google trends shows that the phrase first appeared in late 2019, right when txt’s “run away” era had gone viral.
many love acting like the title was just something moas made up, but a quick search easily proves otherwise.

so, who exactly is out here denying it? some random user on twitter? don’t make me laugh.
part three — the fourth gen representatives
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.
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.

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:
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.

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

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.
4. he has always performed in major award shows
along with the previous titles already mentioned, they have also been called the representatives of fourth gen, as well as many other nicknames.
how much more proof do people need to accept the titles they’ve earned?
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.
in total, that’s already 92 individuals who have stated that they look upto him — and the list has not even been updated as of late yet.
