"Trying to avoid dating rumors": Fans react hilariously over TXT’s Beomgyu and Sabrina Carpenter's interaction at the VMAs 2023

TXT was one of the several K-pop groups present at the MTV VMA 2023, and the group even took home an award for the PUSH Performance of the Year. During the event, the K-pop act also had the privilege of performing Back For More, alongside singer Anitta, with whom they collaborated for the song.

While fans loved the collaboration and their performance, another development soon caught their attention. During an interaction between TXT, Anitta, and singer Sabrina Carpenter, Beomgyu’s confused reaction to Sabrina had his fans laughing. When Sabrina went to stand beside him and casually placed her hand on his shoulder, the idol seemed confused for a second, although he quickly struck a pose a moment later with the other members.

Fans, who found this interaction hilarious, later explained how this response from the idol was only natural because the TXT member was trying to avoid getting caught up in any kind of rumors during one of the biggest nights for the group.
