I have summarized the controversy surrounding TXT's Soobin's revelations about a Chinese person, the debate over the content and credibility of the Chinese influencer's live broadcast claims, and fans' demands for an immediate response from HYBE.

The X timeline has been so noisy these past few days, hasn't it? 😭

MOA are really worried because a Chinese influencer even started a live broadcast making all sorts of claims regarding TXT's Soobin.

But to start with the conclusion, everything that has come out so far is just 'one person's unilateral remarks.'

Since there is no official statement from the agency yet, it is really important to distinguish between confirmed facts and claims. 💡

1. What did the Chinese influencer claim during the live stream?

This controversy first flared up on Chinese social media, not in Korea.

It started when an influencer active on China's Douyin claimed to have met Subin privately.

After the screenshots spread, some netizens tracked down the influencer's personal information and attacked them, so they reportedly revealed their face and started a live broadcast.

And they released materials on the broadcast, claiming they were videos and chat records.

until now Summarizing the claims he made during the live stream If you do it, it looks like this 👇

I met him when I was studying abroad in Korea.

At the time, I had no idea that Soobin was an idol.

The widely circulated screenshot is from a video I filmed myself.

I didn't distribute it myself; I only showed it to an acquaintance, but that acquaintance betrayed me and it spread.

We have argued, but we are still in touch.

The outfit in the video is the same as the photo Soobin posted on social media.

There are more videos that have not been released.

The times we met were March and July, not during the US tour.

The problem is that he didn't just end this story after one day, but turned on a live stream for two consecutive days to repeat similar things.

And that too, always with vague and ambiguous expressions 🔥

2. "Didn't know, but followed?" Controversy over credibility

The biggest point raised by fans is that the words don't add up.

✨ He said he didn't know Soobin was an idol, but there is evidence that he was actually following Soobin on his personal account.

✨ There are even rumors circulating that they made money by running ads towards the end of the live stream. That is why people are saying, "Isn't this just a way to attract attention and do business?"

Regarding the claim that the outfit in the video is the same as Soobin's, a rebuttal was made stating that the manager was wearing the same outfit in the video of the awards ceremony schedule on the 21st.

The initial rumor started last July with a single photo of unknown origin in a Chinese group chat, but it has already been refuted as the March and U.S. tour dates cited do not match Soobin's trip to Gyeongju, tour schedule, hair color, etc.

Even he denies those periods, but he ultimately fails to reveal exactly when they were.

I realized that the saying, "If you're sure, shouldn't you mention the date first?" isn't said for no reason.

3. Fans are demanding an immediate response from HYBE.

The current sentiment within the fandom is shifting toward the view that "the company should step forward rather than engage in a battle of clarifications."

Overseas fans are tagging the @BIGHIT_MUSIC and @HYBEOFFICIALtwt accounts and demanding, "If you care about the artist, please take action."

In particular, a long message left by a Chinese MOA to Korean fans became a hot topic after being viewed over 160,000 times.

The gist was this 👇

Instead of continuously posting individual clarifications on Twitter, let's report it directly to the company.

If inaccurate explanations are mixed in, credibility may actually decrease.

Let's not reveal the other streamer's personal information or provoke them.

The goal is not to win, but to prevent Subin from suffering further harm.

There were so many reactions saying that was true 😭

4. Why You Should Never Share Photos and Videos

It is really dangerous to look up, save, or retweet related screenshots, even out of curiosity.

Private photos or composites with unclear sources can be subject to punishment not only for production and distribution, but also for possession, storage, or transmission alone.

Also, the very act of speculating on and spreading unverified private information causes great pain to the person involved.

If you find this, it's best not to share it, but to send it to the agency's official reporting channel 💡
