BigHit Music is facing criticism after TXT's leader, Soobin, announced he would be halting his activities due to health concerns. On November 19, 2024, the agency shared the news on Weverse, confirming Soobin's decision to take a break.
This includes stepping back from several upcoming year-end events, such as the 2024 MAMA Awards. This announcement follows the earlier breaks taken by Beomgyu and Huening Kai, who also paused their activities earlier this year for health reasons.

"just how many times must this happen in one year for you to finally wake up and realize that your artists are humans too they need rest stop overworking them for your own benefit @BIGHIT_MUSIC"
