8 Times When BTS Were Doting Seniors to TXT
The relationship between BTS and TXT has been heartwarmingly wholesome since day one. TXT were the first hoobaes of BTS under the same label, and many of the TXT members have been first-hand witnesses of BTS’s journey from struggle to success.
Though the two groups have interacted many times on-camera, there are some particular moments that proved how well BTS take care of TXT as seniors.
1. Jin giving a shout-out to TXT even before their debut at an award show
During the 2019 Seoul Music Awards, Jin mentioned their soon-to-debut juniors in an acceptance speech and asked fans to look out for them. He even clarified that the label didn’t ask him to do it, which automatically made it clear how excited he was to welcome his juniors to the industry to give them a shout-out like this even before their debut was officially announced to the world.
2. V behaving like a proud dad after TXT won an award
During the 2019 Melon Music Awards, TXT were seated right behind BTS. Throughout the event, the groups shared many cute moments but what took the cake was V’s reaction when TXT won the Rookie of the Year award. As soon as they announced the winner’s name, V jumped off his seat with glee like a proud parent! Needless to say, fans of both groups felt very touched by this genuine bond between them.
Remember Taehyung’s reaction when TXT got announced as rookie of the year at MMA, he literally jumped off his seat!! also, Jungkook was signaling to the audience to cheer them up?! 🥺😭 pic.twitter.com/GMIguRvUa5

3. J-Hope unofficially adopting Hueningkai
It all started when J-Hope met Hueningkai backstage at a music show and he noticed that the TXT maknae was carrying a small bag. J-Hope took it upon himself to teach the youngin the ways of the idol land and told him that if someone asks what is inside the bag, he should reply, “MOA’s love!”

4. V comforting Beomgyu after pulling a prank on him
During the 2019 SBS Gayo Daejun award ceremony, TXT covered BTS’s “Boy In Luv” on stage. After their performance, V decided to pull a prank on Beomgyu and asked him why he got the choreography wrong. Beomgyu was so flustered that he couldn’t control his tears. V immediately dropped the act and comforted him with a warm hug and praises.
