TXT’s Yeonjun And Taehyun Tried To Get Eric Nam “Canceled” When They Took Over His Social Media
On August 13, Eric Nam revealed to his fans that his Instagram account had been hacked, causing many to worry.
My IG stories just got hacked……..

When they rushed to his Instagram page to check out the situation and prepare to do something about it… They recognized a familiar face on Eric’s Instagram Stories. It was none other than TXT‘s Taehyun! He had cheekily captioned his selfie, “hi guys I got his phone❤️”
Shortly after his post, another photo appeared on Eric’s story. Yet, this time it was Yeonjun! He included a sweet poem, appearing that maybe this was all harmless.
Here is a rose
Here is a tulip
Here is a lily
Here is a cosmos
But wait, what flower is this…?
Someone passing by told me…
This flower is…
Yeonjun…❤️— Yeonjun
A little while later, Taehyun and Yeonjun shared a selfie together on Eric’s account. They just wanted everyone to know that “These guys are lit!🔥”
Eric appeared again on Twitter to let everyone know that he was totally cool with being “hacked” by 2/5 of TXT. Hey, it’s Yeonjun and Taehyun, after all. Who could be mad at those two?
by some cool guys to be fair 🙏 https://t.co/hciuDxakGK

He even added his own selfie, including the two with him, to his Instagram Stories!
It turned out that, not surprisingly, it was all part of their filming of DIVE Studios‘ podcast Daebak Show w/ Eric Nam, which they were guesting on. Now that the episode has finally been released, we finally know exactly what went down that day!

To test their five years of friendship, Eric had them play a game of telepathy. They would be given a word and asked to both act it out. If they matched, they got a point. Otherwise, they didn’t.
Eric raised the stakes by having them bet. If they got more than 5 right, they would be given access to Eric’s personal social media account and allowed to post whatever they want.
Yeonjun and Taehyun were surprised by being given the opportunity. But it was exactly the motivation they needed to win.
When Eric saw how good they actually were at the game and how in sync they are, he became nervous. He soon regretted ever suggesting the bet…
After the first two were right, Taehyun already started coming up with ideas of what he would post on Eric’s social media. And, they were shockingly provocative.
We should post on Eric’s SNS: ‘Man, instead of this song on (Billboard) Hot 100, it should be TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s…’
— Taehyun
Eric then decided to make things harder, choosing less obvious words. So, the next few words given, Yeonjun and Taehyun didn’t match.
Still, with the last couple of words selected being their group’s name “TOMORROW X TOGETHER” and fandom name “MOA,” they were able to match again and again! So, Eric had to accept his fate.
I’ll let you upload on my social media account after we finish filming.
— Eric Nam
The boys again clarified with Eric to make sure that they could do whatever they wanted to after being granted access to his socials.
Yeonjun: We can upload anything, right?
Eric Nam: Yes.
Yeonjun: I’m so happy.
Eric Nam: Just what are they going to upload?
Both Yeonjun and Taehyun got extra creative and started to think out loud about what he might post. To Eric’s horror, it seemed like they were trying to get Eric canceled by having his account post that he didn’t like TXT!
Taehyun: I don’t like TOMORROW X TOGETHER.
Eric Nam: Oh my God! Just what are you trying to make me look like?!
Yeonjun: I hate Yeonjun!
Eric Nam: I love TOMORROW X TOGETHER!
However, anyone who follows Eric knows that he loves the group just as much as any MOA. In fact, earlier in the episode, Eric had actually confessed that he had been a fan of TXT since before they had even debuted!
