ABOUT

Big Hit Entertainment's five-member group debuted in 2019 as HYBE's second act and carved a distinct identity through youth-focused emotional storytelling and a blended pop-rock-electronic sound. Their 'Act: Promise' world tour in 2024 sold out arenas across North America and Europe, and their 2022 album 'minisode 2: Thursday's Child' debuted at number four on the Billboard 200.

THE MEMBERS

Yeonjun

Bundang, South Korea

Choi Yeon-jun trained at Big Hit for three years, during which his dance demonstrations circulated internally as training examples — a level of recognition unusual for an unpublished trainee. He debuted as TXT's lead dancer and has since become widely recognised as one of the most technically complete performers in fourth-generation boy groups, combining hip-hop fluency, contemporary training, and physical confidence that professional choreographers credit consistently.

Beyond K-pop

Dance across styles — he studies broadly and has spoken about wanting to learn traditional dance forms — fashion (he is a Celine ambassador), and music production.

Soobin

Anyang, South Korea

Choi Su-bin was recruited by Big Hit and debuted as TXT's leader as a teenager. His low, warm baritone is TXT's most distinctive vocal characteristic and gives the group's arrangements a gravity that their emotional subject matter benefits from. He has hosted multiple major Korean music award programmes and developed into one of K-pop's most capable broadcast personalities.

Beyond K-pop

Gaming — he streams regularly and has an audience independent of TXT fandom — basketball, reading, and cooking.

Beomgyu

Daegu, South Korea

Choi Beom-gyu is TXT's most musically spontaneous member — the one most likely to pick up a guitar between schedules and the one whose pop-punk influence has most directly pushed the group's sound toward rock-adjacent territory. He has guitar writing credits on multiple TXT tracks and his willingness to pursue alternative sonic directions has shaped their identity as fourth-generation K-pop's most rock-influenced flagship group.

Beyond K-pop

Guitar and songwriting (his most constant creative practice), fashion, and a genuine interest in Western pop-rock and indie music.

Taehyun

Seoul, South Korea

Kang Tae-hyun is TXT's main vocalist and the member most focused on vocal technique as a discipline in itself. His clear, powerful tenor is the group's live performance anchor and has drawn favourable attention from professional vocal coaches and music journalists. He is the group's most outwardly disciplined member — his gym training and practice schedule are notably intense — and brings a seriousness that contrasts with TXT's youthful image.

Beyond K-pop

Vocal training and singing theory (he studies beyond group practice requirements), gym and fitness — he is TXT's most dedicated trainer — and cooking.

Huening Kai

Honolulu, Hawaii (German-Korean-American)

Huening Kai — full name Kai Kamal Huening — was born in Hawaii to a Korean-American mother and a German father, growing up across multiple countries before settling in Korea. He is the most multicultural member in TXT and one of the most multicultural in all of fourth-generation K-pop. His flute background is unusual in a K-pop context, and his ease in English, German, and Korean gives him a distinctive fluency in international media.

Beyond K-pop

Flute (he plays at a serious level and has performed acoustic pieces publicly), gaming, and cooking across cuisines.
