TXT Yeonjun Reveals Whether or Not They Feel Pressured by Labelmates BTS' Success
Back on August 17, Big Hit Music's five-member group, TXT, also known as Tomorrow X Together, held an online showcase to commemorate the release of their new album, "The Chaos Chapter: FIGHT OR ESCAPE," which was released on the same day.
During the showcase, the members of TXT were asked about their labelmates and seniors, BTS, and if they ever felt the pressure of being in the same label as them given their domestic and global success throughout the years.

Whether or not they feel the pressure, member Yeonjun reveals that the success of their industry seniors actually motivate them.
"BTS' success gives us a lot of motivation. We are always happy to be hearing good news about BTS from all around the world, and it is remarkable that we have such a great group as our seniors in the label," said Yeonjun.
Yeonjun added that it would be a lie if they say that they aren't feeling pressured at all, however, they are definitely being more strict with themselves so that they can fight the pressure.
Yeonjun also reveals that him and the four other members of TXT actually feels more pressure with how everyone sees them, as many claim that the group's current success in the industry is due to HYBE and Big Hit Music's brand value.

"Although it is true that we have been trained under our label, who became like a strong fence that surrounds us, we are constantly trying our best to break away from that idea that many have about us," added Yeonjun.
However, they believe that it might take a while for the five-member group to break away from that idea, but despite that, they believe that they will be able to prove themselves to everyone through their music and performances.
"We will slowly fight against that prejudice. We will get there some day," said Yeonjun.
Back when the group were rookies following their early debut days, TXT was often labeled as the junior group and labelmates of BTS, which made them receive wide media attention and was often compared to the "Butter" hitmakers.
Meanwhile, TXT recently made their comeback with the release of their new album, "The Chaos Chapter: FIGHT OR ESCAPE," which is the repackaged version of "The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE," back on August 17.
