While TXT was on their world tour, ACT: LOVESICK, they paid a visit to the Philippines, and fans couldn’t have been more in awe of TXT’s immense talent and real-life visuals.

But aside from getting to see TXT on tour, one thing that Filipino fans were especially excited about was the members getting to try Jollibee.
Jollibee is a Filipino chain of fast food restaurants worldwide that “offers many of your favorite comfort foods including fried chicken, French fries, pies, spaghetti, burgers, and more but with a Filipino twist,” according to their website.
let's bet who's the FIRST txt member that will eat jollibee

And fans succeeded in drawing Yeonjun‘s attention to the restaurant, although he didn’t initially understand what fans were asking him to try.
Fan: Try Jollibee!!
Yeonjun: Try what now?
Yeonjun: You mean like the rapper?
Fans even encouraged TXT to try Jollibee at the group’s concert, which helped Yeonjun realize that they were talking about a restaurant, not a “rapper.”
🦊 oh guys i found out something!! jollibee isn’t a rapper, it’s a hamburger brand
🦊 i thought it was the rapper from unpretty rapstar
🦊 but i know now
🦊 someone held up a sign at the concert too@TXT_members @TXT_bighit— TXT Translations 💬 (@translatingTXT) October 27, 2022
And while Yeonjun excitedly talked to fans about all the incredible food he’d eaten while touring Southeast Asia…
🦊 today’s tmi? the catering…ever since we were in bangkok..no even before that, ever since jakarta, the food has been so so so good!! i’ve been eating like 2-3 servings
🦊 do you know mango rice? i ate it so much in bangkok
🦊 the food here is insane @TXT_members @TXT_bighit— TXT Translations 💬 (@translatingTXT) October 27, 2022
He sadly explained to fans that he wouldn’t be able to try Jollibee before TXT left The Philippines.
🦊 “try jollibee” is jollibee that delicious? but i don’t have time 😫
🦊 maybe when i come next time…i ate mcdonald’s for breakfast..i…said…uhh…the m brand…uh wait what did i just do…
🦊 oh wait…i even said jollibee…oh wait…what am i doing @TXT_members @TXT_bighit— TXT Translations 💬 (@translatingTXT) October 27, 2022
But TXT’s staff were watching Yeonjun’s live and made sure that Yeonjun would be able to try the food before they left. Yeonjun was not only extremely grateful to his staff, but he also told fans that he thinks “Jollibee is the best.”
Yeonjun: The company watched my live yesterday and prepared this for me ㅠㅠ They’re the best and Jollibee is the best~
