BIGHIT MUSIC is the target of criticism from fans after announcing TXT’s world tour, following the recent announcement of the group’s hiatus; look!
TXT announced this Friday, the 20th, its new international tour for 2025, with performances confirmed for March, including three dates in South Korea and shows in major cities in Europe, such as Barcelona, London, Berlin, Paris and Amsterdam.
The tour promises to be an important milestone in the group’s career, especially after the success of the previous tour. However, the announcement generated a wave of indignation among fans, who had been informed, shortly before, that the group would go on hiatus to rest.
What happened?
BIGHIT MUSIC had revealed that TXT would take a break after the Golden Disc Awards in January, aiming to give the members, especially the leader Soobinthe time needed to recover.
The leader of the boy group, who had already announced a break to take care of his health, represented the need for rest for the group as a whole, which was constantly in an exhausting schedule of commitments. The promise of a hiatus, then, was seen by fans as an opportunity to ensure the members had time to recover and take care of themselves, away from the constant pressure of work.
However, fans’ surprise and outrage were evident when the company announced that, just over a month after the break began, the group already had shows scheduled, with an international tour scheduled to begin in March. The fact that, before the break even began, commitments like these were already scheduled made many question whether the planned rest was real or just a strategy to keep the group in constant activity.
The outrage increased even more with the fact that Soobin appearing in tour promotions, even after announcing that the member was taking a break. This raised questions about the true nature of his departure and whether he would, in fact, be able to participate in the tour. For many fans, the tour announcement only confirmed their concerns that the company was prioritizing profits and scheduling over the well-being of the group’s members.
See fan reactions on social media:
yes txt translations, no one should attack them because of the company’s fault. but you also can’t force fans upset with the company for a group of 5 years to take a break of less than 1 month.
Everyone here supports them, but their health comes first. https://t.co/Qrg0FZMh54

bighit is such a son of a bitch the txt hasn’t had a break in almost 6 years apart from the negligence of the company that uses them as laboratory rats then they’ll give it 2 months because they saw that there’s no way to keep them because it’s affecting the health of the 5 cases Otherwise, they would still overload them a little more
