HYBE Accused Of Favoritism Towards Yeonjun After TXT’s Comeback Outfits Get Revealed

TXT will soon be making a comeback with The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY. As more of the album gets revealed, fans began to notice that Yeonjun seemed to be highlighted in the concept photos.

Only his shoes are of a different color.

For the shoot where the boys wore helmets, only Yeonjun’s had a wide angle shot with the helmet off.

For the shoot where the boys donned angel wings, only Yeonjun is wearing a black shirt.

Fans had simply brushed it off as part of the concept lore until the teaser for the title track “Over The Moon” was released. The main stage outfits for the song were shown in the teaser. All the boys are wearing black pants and shirts, but only Yeonjun wears a white shirt without a black jacket over it. Being in the center and with his hair dyed red, Yeonjun stands out starkly.

Fans expressed their annoyance at the obvious favoritism.

• This is f*cking annoying LOL. My bias is about to be an extra until his contract ends.
• From the vibes up to now, they’re very obviously pushing him.
• Even just by seeing their internal report, he’s Bang Si Hyuk’s favorite and HYBE’s prince LOL.
• If they were my biases, my blood would be boiling. I’m not even surprised at HYBE.
• I thought the outfits were fine at first until I realized they’re not backup dancers but the other members. My jaw dropped.
• Gasp, this is too severe…
• It’s too severe. Even if this is just one set of outfits amongst many, if this happened to my biases, our fandom would already be up in arms.
• I was like, what’s wrong with the outfits, until I realized it was the other members and not backup dancers. When I realized, I was horrified. How can they do this?
