Taehyun Reveals The Devastating Working Conditions He Endured For TXT’s Tour
TXT member Taehyun recently made a heartbreaking confession about the harsh conditions he endured for his group’s current tour.
The HYBE boy group is currently on the US leg of their ACT: PROMISE tour, having completed two shows already. While the group put up impressive performances on the stage, there were some concerns about the wellbeing of the members, as fans noticed Soobin looking exhausted on stage. The idol, however, assured fans that he was alright.
it is concerning that we are two days in to your and on both days this has happened to soobin. that company need to do better. jeopardising their health is not ok. even when exhausted they give their all, you’re going to burn them out. let them rest.

The same anxiety took over after a recent livestream hosted by Taehyun, in which he talked candidly about the hardships he faced while preparing for this tour. The singer mentioned that he was sick while practicing for the shows, which hindered his ability to give his best. The situation became so frustrating and depressing for him that he cried alone in his room at night.
꺼내면서도 “약간… 나답지않은데?” 하는 얘기가
준비하다가 너무 슬프고 우울하고 답답해서 밤에 혼자서 방안에서 울었대 아니ㅣ 아니.. 아니………… 아니 심지도 소리도 안나고 숨죽여서 눈물만 뚝뚝흘렀대.. https://t.co/GiYMSHOppi pic.twitter.com/ji2r1ZjRTn

🐿️ I couldn't sing until the day before the rehearsal. I'm supposed to be a singer so during the time I couldn't sing, I was so upset
🐿️ I've been so sad, depressed, and frustrated while preparing that I cried once at night. I cried alone in my room
🐿️ There was no sound, just…

During this livestream, Yeonjun appeared in the comments section to cheer up the younger TXT member and revealed that Taehyun practiced for the show even with a 39-degree Celsius fever.

Though Yeonjun mentioned it to show Taehyun’s unbeatable dedication, fans were horrified to learn this truth. They called out HYBE for putting Taehyun’s health in jeopardy and not doing their job of protecting his wellbeing.
no person should be out of bed, let alone WORKING with a 39 degree fever!! that’s literally dangerous. whether it was taehyun or the company pushing him, HEALTH IS ALWAYS FIRST‼️

So you are telling me that while preparing for the tour taehyun got a fever at 39 degree?!? They are still humans what is this company doing???

it's so upsetting to hear him talk about this and getting to know that he couldn't even rest properly while he was very sick. bighit has not given them proper rest for a really long time now and they've had to work through moments where they were sick as well. i'd honestly be…

what is so hard about giving your group a break. why overwork them? txt is super successful so there is no need to always have them work on projects. there is clearly something wrong with bighit for making taehyun practice with a 102 degree fever. do better. pic.twitter.com/l71zXJgZ8J

Meanwhile, HYBE has not yet responded to this widespread criticism, and TXT is expected to resume its tour in the US. Their next concert is slated to be held in Los Angeles on May 22.
