TXT’s Soobin faces backlash after fan’s inappropriate sexual question in video call
TXT’s Soobin sparked outrage after a fan asked him about a fake audio clip allegedly featuring Yeonjun moaning during a fansign video call in mid-August.
The fan confronted Soobin with a question that referenced the “relationship” between him and Yeonjun, making a crude play on words linked to the fake sex audio clip.
Soobin appeared visibly confused and did not respond for over 20 seconds, maintaining a puzzled expression until the call ended.
Fans quickly condemned the incident online, calling it sexual harassment and demanding accountability.
“What the fuck is wrong with some shippers why would you fucking show Soobin a fake Yeonbin moaning clip during fansign and ask him sexual questions??? What do you expect him to say???????? Why is this even allowed??? Have some class and dignity gosh”

Fans also organized mass reporting campaigns targeting HYBE’s website to protect Soobin from similar future incidents.
“Due to the recent issue with Soobin being sexually harassed in a fancall, we are asking everyone to mass reporting the issue to Hybe website.”

Many fans expressed disgust that the joke was permitted during a private fan event.
“Soobin truly didn’t have to go through that he is a HUMAN being not a toy for your fantasies, that was truly disgusting”
— Twitter user @txtdom
“Soobin got sexually harassed by a person during a fancall. Stop beating around the bush. It needs to be publicly addressed to prevent from it from happening again to both TXT and other idols in the industry.”
— Twitter user @zerobyval
The offending fan was reportedly banned from future video call events.
Most other calls with Soobin remain respectful, and fans hope stricter measures will prevent similar harassment going forward.
