Soobin shares heartwarming updates and family moments during Weverse live

On January 9, TXT's leader Soobin hosted a live session on Weverse for an hour. He shared updates about his life and was later joined by his nephew, Dokyung.

Choi mentioned that he had been resting at his family home, sleeping up to 12 hours daily. This routine had improved his skin and health as he shared. His family gathered in another room to give him privacy during the live.

The group leader shared his plan to return to the dorm within a week and prepare to meet MOAs again. He revealed that the TXT members, also on a break, kept contacting him, expressing how much they missed him.

About three days ago, he visited the dorm to spend time with them. They all waited for him in the living room, and they spent two days together. Soobin shared that he still has a sore throat but is recovering from a cold.

His nephews, both energetic little boys as he described, were around during the live. His family tried to keep them quiet, but their voices were audible. Soobin described how much they adore him and shared funny anecdotes.

During his rest, the K-pop idol expressed to enjoy eating freely but felt a void from not performing or being with fans. He assured MOAs that his break was necessary for his well-being.

He talked about filming his new variety show Fave’s Faves and expressed how precious the show was to him. He shared that he spent his break mostly sleeping and eating instead of pursuing activities like reading, exercising, or cooking. He reflected on how he initially worried about being missed but later hoped people wouldn’t feel his absence too strongly.

The TXT leader then shared a memorable experience of helping strangers build an igloo during a snowy dawn. He did it with bare hands and quickly ran away because of the cold.

He also talked about recently obtaining his Class 1 driver’s license and practicing with help from his siblings. Although the members hesitate to ride with him, he wants to take them on drives someday.

Choi also discussed music and shared that he listened to his cover of Forest after a long time, reading updated comments from fans. He then also talked about how during his break, Soobin experimented with frozen yogurt toppings, though his friend criticized his choices.

Taehyun, the TXT leader's fellow bandmate interacted with him in the live chat and joked about their recent three-hour video call.

The leader then expressed interest in watching Light Shop, a work by Kang Full, after enjoying Moving. When asked about books, he admitted he didn’t read any during his break. He further shared that he celebrated the New Year by listening to multiple songs but couldn’t decide which was his first.

Toward the end, Soobin invited his nephew, Dokyung, to join the live. The child greeted fans and quickly left, thinking it was a video call.

His phone battery dropped to 3%, prompting him to conclude the session. He thanked MOAs for watching and promised to prepare to meet them soon.
