TXT Address HYBE’s “Internal Documents” Scandal Ahead Of Their Comeback
TXT had to break their silence on the ongoing internal documents controversy at HYBE, addressing the tricky situation ahead of their comeback on November 4.
The boy group — comprised of members Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai — opened up during a press conference held on November 3 at the KSPO DOME in Seoul. The event came ahead of their highly anticipated encore concert for the TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR <ACT : PROMISE>.
HYBE has recently been the focus of public criticism due to leaked internal documents that have circulated online, exposing remarks about various K-Pop groups from other agencies. These documents referenced popular idols and groups such as RIIZE, aespa, Stray Kids, NCT DREAM, and BLACKPINK, often in a less-than-flattering light. The documents have sparked intense controversy and turned many netizens against the company.
At the press conference, Soobin shared that TXT has felt the weight of these issues as they prepared for their comeback and ongoing tour. When asked about it, he emphasized how focused the group has been on working hard for their new album.
We’ve been on tour for over half a year since May, and during that time, we’ve also been very busy preparing our new album.
To be honest, we’ve remained focused on our new album and concert preparations regardless of the surrounding circumstances.

He went on to assure fans that TXT is fully committed to showcasing their best, regardless of the challenging environment. Soobin also asked for the fans support during these undeniably trying times for artists under the controversial company.
As we’ve always done, we’ll continue to be active and show everything we’ve prepared and everything we’re capable of without holding back and without regrets, so please look forward to it.
