The fact that their 1st week Hanteo sales more than doubled (minisode1 sold 303k, FREEZE sold 630k & is currently at 638k), and knowing how their back catalogue sells thousands every month, they should be certified triple platinum in album sales before this year is over. And they’re not even 3 years old as a group.
They’ve won their personal most music shows since debut (including Soobin being MC on Music Bank when they won yesterday). They currently have the 2nd biggest album debut of 2021 on Spotify for Korean acts, and are also breaking all of their previous Spotify milestones. Watching them improve in multiple ways every era has been amazing to witness as a pre-debut fan.
TXT still get saddled with the “little brother” tag when Korean and Japanese articles come out (Japanese entertainment is something different from Korean though), but this is the era where they’ve shown up and demonstrated that they’re not the cute rookies anymore. TXT is a group that is quickly rising and is going to be a threat. Just wait.
