In his cryptic post, Taehyun gave a spoiler for the group’s fans, known as MOA, with two emojis, a money bag and a child. His caption revealed that it was a spoiler the for the third track of MOA.

The Weverse post was quickly shared by fans across Twitter, with the Atlanta rapper Rich The Kid quote-tweeting one of the reposts with fire emojis.

As the exciting tweet fueled speculation about a possible collaboration, some eagle-eyed fans also noticed that the bio on Rich The Kid’s official Twitter account had the same money bag and child emojis as K-pop idol Taehyun's Weverse spoiler update. This revelation proved that the emojis were indeed a reference to the rapper’s name.

Prior to his quote-tweet, Rich The Kid also retweeted one of his posts from April 18 saying, "You deserve your flowers" with a rose emoji at the end.

Since then, fans of TXT have linked the tweet to the group’s teaser video for minisode 2: Thursday’s Child, which also features a scene of a burning rose.
