TXT’s Yeonjun Triggers Outrage Over “Flirting” With A Fan Through DMs
TXT‘s Yeonjun is under fire for his latest actions concerning a fan.
In Weverse DMs to fans, Yeonjun left a message for one specific fan he met at a fansign.
Right, there was a cutie at the fansign who asked me to wish them a happy birthday on the 29th, but due to circumstances, I wasn’t able to congratulate them. It’s late, but happy birthday, cutie! I love you ❤️
— Yeonjun
Many fans that it was extremely intimate to post a message meant for one person. Additionally, phrases like “cutie” and “I love you” felt even more intimate.
It’s even more shocking reading it in English. ‘Happy birthday cutie’ wtf, I wouldn’t even say that when wishing my bestie a happy birthday.

His message immediately sparked anger among fans as they believe he overstepped a boundary.
I miss the Choi Yeonjun who kept a distance. The one who wouldn’t repost fan posts. The Choi Yeonjun who wouldn’t wish a fan happy birthday.

No, I’m still very pissed off. Choi Yeonjun, I didn’t spend $90 TWD every month just to see you flirt with a fan who went to fansigns! Although it’s only $90 TWD, DMing is like a group chat. Don’t you know this, oppa!

Some felt it was a slap in the face to use a platform meant for all fans to talk to one specific fan.
How did I become a part of oppa’s games? Suddenly wishing someone a happy birthday through DMs…who wants to hug you? I’d rather freeze to death. Don’t tell me that fan spent money. I went to fansigns too. To feed everyone sh*t just for that one person, that’s disgusting.
