Tetris Kelly 

We went to TIMA in China and not only got to see the hottest groups on stage, but hang with them in the back. We take you there in Billboard All Access. 

Hueningkai

Thank you for your support. We will do our best performance after this. 

How has your music changed? 

Hueningkai

When we debuted we tried to show a boy’s growth narrative but starting from our last album. I think we’ve been trying to capture more of our own story. We tried to convey what TXT is like in reality in the album. 

Favorite food in Hong Kong? 

Hueningkai

Egg tarts is one of my favorite food, favorite dessert. 

Yeonjun 

Wonton noodles.

Hueningkai

That’s a good one. 

Eunseok 

Personally, I really like bubble tea, but I haven’t been able to drink it much so if I have a day off, I will definitely try to enjoy it properly. 

Sungchan 

I also found desserts like egg tarts and waffles really delicious. 

Nunew  

Peking duck, peking roast duck. 

Gawon 

Our performance director actually got us these really amazing pork buns, they were sweet on the outside and soft on the inside. They were just perfection, we also got some milk tea and I love myself some milk tea. 

Sooin 

And I love egg tarts.
