Although HYBE has many idol groups, Big Hit Music has only debuted two boy groups, BTS and TXT. Therefore, the relationship between the two groups is closer than other artists in the same group.
Even before TXT debuted, BTS were the most enthusiastic fans of their junior group and even introduced them to the public. In return, TXT members also showed great support and respect for their senior superstars.
Remember, when j-hope was discharged from the military on October 13 last year, TXT was among the colleagues who wrote congratulatory letters and gave him flowers. The BTS rapper praised the group and expressed his gratitude.
"TOMORROW X TOGETHER gave me this. You guys are the best. There's a reason you are doing great. Thank you guys. Because of you guys, I'm so touched right now", he said.
During another live broadcast of TXT leader Soobin, a fan reminded him of this. Soobin then took the opportunity to share his thoughts on how wonderful j-hope is.
He pointed out that j-hope’s absence during his military service not only left fans feeling sad, but the entire company felt empty as well. They felt like they were мιѕѕιиg a significant source of bright energy.
"Of course, this applies to all BTS members, but Hobi hyung especially is really... we say this between the members alot, that Hobi hyung s a person who makes you feel good when you're around them, we always say this about him. People usually get so exhausted and tired in life, right? But ever since we were trainess, like for the past 10 years, Hobi hyung always greets us like "OH HI!!!"", he opened up.
He continued to highlight j-hope’s personality: "He knew about what we do even though we were just trainees, goes "Soobin! You doing good? How's your condition?" and always greeted us so brightly. You know, it could be a bit difficult for us (to approach) seniors like them, but he always approached first, greets us with so much energy. And made small-talks too. I'm so grateful for that, like he left such a warm & good impression."
In conclusion, Soobin said: "But when that Hobi hyung wasn't there in the company for a while, it felt empty. Felt like that bright and cheerful energy of Hobi hyung had disappeared, so I'm very glad when I think about meeting him in the company again now that he's back!"
The TXT leader was completely immersed in praising the BTS superstar’s good personality. Fans fell in love with the adorable friendship of the two members, representing the two groups, as they always had the best words to say about each other:
- I love how the boys of txt look up to their seniors in bts, Hobi in particular. This is just another example of what every ARMY knows, and it’s that Hoseok is a walking, talking heart
