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

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.

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

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.

the only fourth gen boy group that consistently charts both domestically and internationally

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.

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.

how much more proof do people need to accept the titles they’ve earned?

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.

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.

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

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:

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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

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.

part two — the fourth gen leader

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

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

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

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

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.

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

1. the term exists because of him

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

part three — the fourth gen representatives

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