On January 22, TXT's passionate fan base made another bold move in their ongoing campaign for change. A new protest truck, strategically deployed to HYBE headquarters, bears messages urging the dismissal of a key staff member - TXT's director. This latest action follows an earlier demonstration highlighting concerns over the group's perilous choreography.
Forum Erupts: "Another Protest Truck Went to HYBE"
The Korean forum "theqoo" became the epicenter of this latest development, with a post titled "Another protest truck went to HYBE" garnering substantial attention. Within a few hours, the topic had amassed over 40,000 views and nearly 300 comments.
TXT's fans are intensifying their efforts to communicate their dissatisfaction, this time targeting the creative direction of the group.
TXT Fans Express Frustration Through Truck Messages
The protest truck itself serves as a mobile billboard, featuring messages that express the fans' discontent with TXT's current artistic direction.
The messages include sharp criticisms such as, "BigHit still hasn't learned anything despite the views from its Challenge and Cover video for 5 years" and "TXT's lackluster director needs to leave after (his) zero impact and zero harmony choreography." The truck's messages emphasize the fans' desire for change and a shift in leadership.
Previous Protest on Choreography Prompts Fans to Target Director
This protest is not the first time TXT's fans have voiced their concerns. Previously, a protest truck was deployed to HYBE, drawing attention to the dangerous nature of TXT's choreography.
Now, fans are taking their grievances directly to the source, calling for the removal of the director responsible for the group's artistic direction.
Netizens Voice Support and Concerns
As news of the protest spread, netizens shared their thoughts on the situation. Comments on various platforms reflected both support for TXT's fans and concern for the well-being of the members.
One netizen remarked, "Is this real... The members must have struggled a lot. Even if they look fine on the outside, they seem to be in pain here and there... Why is the director forcing them to do those choreographies?"
Another emphasized the physical toll, stating, "Idols are also human beings... Those dangerous choreographies can seriously hurt them and are not even satisfying to see."
The mounting pressure on HYBE suggests that fans are determined to see significant changes in TXT's artistic direction, and the fate of the director now hangs in the balance.
