Imagine being a fan, excited to connect with your idol, only to witness a shocking moment that leaves you questioning everything. A recent video call featuring TXT’s Soobin has ignited outrage among fans for all the wrong reasons!

After TXT made their return with The Star Chapter: Together, they’ve been engaging with fans in unique ways, including video calls that allow fans to interact with their beloved members. However, one particular call in mid-August stood out—and not in a good way.

During this call, a fan took a bold and controversial step by asking Soobin about an audio clip featuring fellow member Yeonjun, which was rather inappropriate. The fan's caption read, “POV: when I directly asked Soobin about the mysterious ‘ooo000’ audio clip at a fansign.” Talk about setting the stage for an awkward moment!

The fan then escalated the situation by asking Soobin which version of his “relationship” with Yeonjun he preferred: one where he admired Yeonjun for being an older, charismatic figure or a playful jab about Yeonjun being his “gentle dog owner.” This sly comment was likely a nod to the fake audio clip that circulated among fans, adding a layer of discomfort.

Soobin’s reaction? Pure confusion. He stared blankly for a staggering 20 seconds as he grappled with the unexpected question, leaving many wondering if he was taken aback by the boldness or simply didn’t know how to respond.

When the fansign came to a close, Soobin straightened up as if shaken from a trance. The question itself seemed harmless at first glance, but the implications were anything but. Fans were left reeling, and many took to social media to express their disbelief and outrage at how this interaction unfolded.

“What the heck is wrong with some shippers?” one fan exclaimed. “Why would you show Soobin a fake Yeonbin moaning clip during a fansign? Have some class and dignity!” This sentiment echoed across various platforms as fans rallied to defend Soobin, calling for action against the fan who posed the inappropriate question.

In response to the uproar, many began mass-emailing Hybe, calling for stricter regulations on fan interactions to prevent incidents like this from happening in the future. One user even stated, “Soobin is a HUMAN being, not a toy for your fantasies. This was truly disgusting.”

Fortunately, not all video calls with Soobin have crossed such boundaries, and many fans hope this incident serves as a wake-up call for the community. It’s crucial for fan culture to foster a respectful environment, allowing idols like Soobin to feel safe and valued during these interactions.
