The controversy intensified in October 2026 after claims surfaced on Chinese social media alleging that Soobin had used a gay dating application to seek a casual relationship.
TXT members Yeonjun, Taehyun and Huening Kai have drawn attention after making seemingly cryptic remarks during a recent livestream, prompting some fans to wonder whether they were indirectly addressing the controversy surrounding group leader Soobin.
The exchange comes as unverified allegations and sexually explicit images purportedly involving the singer continue to circulate on Chinese social media.
During a recent Weverse livestream, the three members interacted with fans and discussed rumors surrounding their upcoming unit song. However, their comments about trusting information found online caught viewers' attention, with some MOA interpreting the exchange as a possible reminder to approach the allegations against Soobin with caution.
None of the members explicitly mentioned Soobin or the controversy. Their remarks therefore cannot be confirmed as a response to the situation, despite the interpretations circulating among fans.
What Did TXT Members Say During the Livestream?During the livestream, Huening Kai addressed fans, saying, "MOA, you shouldn't put too much trust in just what's right in front of you."
The other members chimed in with, "Of course, that's not all there is to it," while Taehyun added, "You shouldn't trust what's going around on the internet too much."
The comments prompted discussion about whether the trio was encouraging fans to question information circulating online. Given the controversy involving Soobin, some viewers interpreted the exchange as an indirect message about the allegations.
However, the conversation took place while the members were discussing their upcoming unit song. Without further clarification from the artists, any connection between their remarks and the controversy remains speculative.
Soobin Faces Controversy Over Alleged Explicit ImagesThe controversy intensified in October 2026 after claims surfaced on Chinese social media alleging that Soobin had used a gay dating application to seek a casual relationship.
Posts accompanying the claims featured photographs purportedly showing the TXT leader with an unidentified man, alongside sexually explicit material allegedly involving the idol. Chinese livestreamer Jeremy Yang further fueled the discussion by claiming to have had a personal relationship with Soobin and sharing unverified video footage and chat logs.
Additional graphic images subsequently circulated online, intensifying scrutiny of the allegations. However, the material has not been independently authenticated, and the claims made by individuals sharing it do not establish that the alleged events occurred.
Soobin has not publicly addressed the allegations concerning his sexual orientation. The claims remain unverified, and the circulation of purported private images or conversations should not be treated as proof of their authenticity.
Fans Question Image ManipulationAs the images spread online, fans began pointing to details they believed were inconsistent with Soobin's appearance. These included alleged discrepancies involving moles on an arm, hair colors that supposedly differed from his recent tour appearances, and unfamiliar electrical outlets in the background.
Some fans suggested that these details could indicate digital manipulation or AI-generated deepfakes. However, their observations have not established whether the material is authentic or fabricated.
Jeremy Yang reportedly made further claims suggesting that the photographs were screenshots from a video and implying that the alleged incident was not an isolated occurrence. These statements, however, have not independently verified the material or established the circumstances described in the allegations.
The controversy has raised broader concerns about digitally manipulated sexual imagery and the potential damage caused when unverified content involving celebrities spreads across social media. Fans have urged others to exercise caution before sharing the material as fact.
BIGHIT MUSIC Threatens Legal Action Over False RumorsBIGHIT MUSIC addressed the allegations on Oct. 22, condemning what it described as "false information and malicious rumors" targeting its artist.
The company also vowed to take firm legal action "with no settlement or leniency."
The statement marked the agency's public response as the online controversy continued. Its warning signaled an intention to pursue legal action over the rumors, although the outcome of any potential proceedings remains uncertain.
Meanwhile, social media users have circulated theories concerning Jeremy Yang's alleged professional connections to SM Entertainment. These claims remain speculative, and no evidence presented in the supplied account establishes that the company was involved in the controversy.
BIGHIT MUSIC's response comes amid wider concerns about the speed at which online allegations can spread and the difficulty of correcting potentially damaging claims once they gain traction.
TXT Members' Remarks Remain Open to InterpretationThe livestream exchange has renewed discussion about Soobin, but the three members have not confirmed that their comments were related to the allegations.
Their remarks about exercising caution with online information may have resonated with fans because of the timing, but interpreting them as a deliberate response would be premature.
