[theqoo] HYBE WHO REALLY SEEMS IN LOVE WITH TXT YEONJUN

: The response to Yeonjun’s cover stage of “Guilty” was positive, but it seems to have triggered some Taemin fans. With a significant number of followers, Taemin fans reportedly reported the fan account that posted impactful photos of Yeonjun, leading to the account being deleted. While they attempt to explain their displeasure with Yeonjun’s involvement, they fail to gain any sympathy from the outside. The more they react, the more they reveal the petty and hysterical nature of a stagnant fandom, putting SHINee’s fandom in a crisis.

: It’s not the first time that “Guilty” or a SHINee song has been covered, and Yeonjun covering a sunbae’s song from 2023 isn’t new either, so there seems to be no explanation other than that they’re “losing it.”

: Additionally, while “Guilty” had its share of conceptual and interpretive issues, it was largely overlooked due to the strength of the SM fandom dominating the community. The song itself gained some attention from juniors’ challenges, and reportedly, after Yeonjun’s cover stage, the song’s performance indicators increased overseas. At this point, it seems more like ingratitude than hysteria. Honestly, considering how IU was mistreated over “Zeze,” it feels like Taemin’s “Guilty” album was just dismissed without thought. Following this incident, Yeonjun’s “Guilty” is being reexamined.

: Of course, performing on stage and hosting well is important, but Yeonjun just standing there holds significance. It just so happened that the interview team included NCT DREAM and Stray Kids, and both groups were physically overshadowed by Yeonjun to the point that it felt almost uncomfortable to watch. Soobin is already recognized for his height, and his character image has a gentle and clumsy vibe, so it didn’t feel too out of place, but when Yeonjun stands next to Changbin, the difference is quite noticeable.

: On Sunday, I suddenly saw on Instiz that Taehyun’s snake controversy was brought up again, and I was wondering what happened. It seems that someone who watched <Inkigayo> was triggered by a button press from TXT.
