“I don’t even have the energy to swallow food…” – Soobin’s Concerning Weverse Post Sparks Renewed Calls to Boycott HYBE

On September 15, Soobin shared multiple messages on Weverse, indicating that he was severely fatigued and barely had the strength to eat. His confession read: 

“Passing out, 

I’m so tired… 

I don’t even have the energy to swallow food so I only ate half of it.

For starters, i’ll wash up and be back. 

I might not be back either…”

Fans interpreted TXT’s Soobin’s comments as a subtle hint of the pressure he and his fellow TXT members are facing, sparking renewed demands for improved treatment. They criticize HYBE (BIGHIT MUSIC) for allegedly overworking their artists.

TXT’s demanding schedule has long been a concern among fans, as all members have been dealing with recurring injuries and health issues. Alongside their ongoing world tour, the group is also set to release a new album this year.

Following that, many fans called for a boycott of HYBE, demanding the label prioritize their artist’s health over profit, especially as more idols from the agency have been reporting injuries.

• “These idols are not silent about their abuse, y’all just don’t listen.” – a fan wrote on X.
• “Yall will see this & still support a november cb when these boys are desperately in need of rest” – a fan commented. 
• “Yall are letting hybe get away with literally abusing their artists, their employees bad mouthing their top artists, overworking them till they pass out, not defending them, do yall even CARE about your favs !” another X user wrote.
• “It’s insane to me how all of you keep defending the company and refusing to boycott, when it’s so obvious how it’s mistreating and exploiting the artists” – another post.
