He debuted as a member of TXT (Tomorrow X Together), a five-member boy group under Big Hit Entertainment, in March 2019. Taehyun quickly became known for his smooth vocals, impressive rapping skills, and charming personality. However, in recent months, he has been making headlines for a different reason - his rebellious behavior.
The Good Boy Image
When TXT debuted in 2019, Taehyun quickly became known as the "good boy" of the group. He was always polite and respectful, both to his fans and his fellow members. He had a sweet and innocent image that endeared him to many fans.
Taehyun's talent as a singer and rapper was also evident from the beginning. He had a unique vocal tone that set him apart from other K-pop idols, and his rapping skills were impressive for someone so young.
The Beginning of the Change
In late 2020, rumors began circulating that Taehyun had been spotted smoking. Fans were shocked - smoking is not only illegal for minors in South Korea, but it goes against the image of the "good boy" that Taehyun had cultivated.
Big Hit Entertainment initially denied the rumors, but in January 2021, they released a statement confirming that Taehyun had indeed smoked. They apologized for any disappointment or concern that this may have caused fans.
The Apology
After the news of his smoking broke, Taehyun issued a personal apology to his fans. In the letter, he admitted to smoking and apologized for disappointing his fans and causing them worry. He also promised to work hard to become a better role model.
The Controversy
Despite his apology, Taehyun's behavior continued to be controversial. In February 2021, he made headlines again when he was caught on camera flipping off the camera during a live broadcast. Fans were shocked and disappointed, and some called for him to be punished for his behavior.
Taehyun quickly apologized for his actions, stating that he had been frustrated and that his behavior was immature. However, some fans were still upset and felt that his apologies were not sincere.
The Reaction of Fans
The reaction of fans to Taehyun's behavior has been mixed. Some fans have been understanding and forgiving, stating that everyone makes mistakes and that Taehyun is still young and learning. Others, however, have been more critical, stating that Taehyun's behavior is unacceptable and that he needs to be held accountable for his actions.
Some fans have also expressed concern for Taehyun's mental health. They worry that he may be struggling with the pressures of being a K-pop idol and that his rebellious behavior may be a cry for help.
The Future of Taehyun
As of now, it is unclear what the future holds for Taehyun. Some fans worry that his behavior may have a negative impact on TXT's popularity and success. Others, however, believe that Taehyun will be able to learn from his mistakes and become an even better idol.
Regardless of what happens, it is clear that Taehyun's "good boy" image is a thing of the past. He has shown a more rebellious and controversial side of himself, and it remains to be seen how fans will react to this new version of Taehyun.
Conclusion
Taehyun's journey from good boy to bad boy has been a controversial and surprising one. Despite his talent and charm, he has struggled to live up to the expectations of fans and maintain his image as a role model. However, it is important to remember that Taehyun is still young and learning, and that everyone makes mistakes. Fans can only hope that he will continue to grow and improve as an artist and as a person.
