TXT’s Soobin Confesses That He Fell For A Fan In Real Life

TXT member Soobin has driven his fanbase crazy with a recent confession about falling for a fan he saw up close.

The confession came during his latest appearance on the YouTube channel Pixid. Soobin appeared in a video in which he and the host had light-hearted and fun conversations about flirting, romance, and dating.

The host eventually brought up the question of Soobin’s ideal type. The idol plainly stated, “I like being led around,” making the host burst into a laugh.

He immediately clarified, “I mean, not literally dragged around. More like, emotionally guided.”

Soobin explained that since he has a passive personality, he feels the most comfortable around people who can take the lead instead.

“There was this one time I kind of fell for someone,” he recalled, sharing the story of how he met his ideal type. The meet-cute happened while TXT were on their way to a schedule when they almost got mobbed. “The fans were way too close to us, so it got kind of dangerous,” Soobin explained.

Soobin recounted the chaotic situation, “We couldn’t move, the car couldn’t move, it was a mess.” But that’s when a fan appeared at the scene, yelling, “Our boys are in danger! Move!”

The fierce shouting caught Soobin’s attention. “I was like, wow…That’s so cool,” he exclaimed with his hand over his heart.

The host asked, amused, “You like tough people, don’t you?” and Soobin responded without hesitation, “I think so,” adding that he wanted someone who could “handle” him.

The clip has since gone viral on social media, prompting hilarious reactions from fans.

Many also felt that it was smart of Soobin to praise the MOA (TXT fanbase name) in particular, since it would encourage more fans to stop mobbing the group in public.

lowk smart of him to compliment a moa for this…like all those crazies at the airport looking for their y/n moment are probably gonna try to do this now to get soobin's attention which might *actually* help the mobbing a bit 😅 https://t.co/PgkVuBVM3c

As opposed to weird invasive fans, fans who take notice of the well being of their idols are more likeable in their idols eyes (as it shld be). If u like to mob them, in the dustbin u go. https://t.co/ja5xQHfdtF

This comment 😭😭😭..
(Soobin is really smart… Now it seems like MOAs will have no reason not to follow the rules.
The number of people not following the rules is zero,
but the number of people yelling ‘Follow the rules!’ is 9,999.”) pic.twitter.com/Qup8EUJtE8
