On the morning of March 14, Koreaboo reported that TXT members Soobin and Beomgyu unexpectedly became the center of dating rumors, leaving fans and netizens abuzz. The speculation began after Soobin shared several photos along with a heartfelt birthday message dedicated to Beomgyu.
Among the four photos released to celebrate Beomgyu’s birthday, fans particularly focused on a moment in which Soobin seemed to look at his young bandmate with a particularly affectionate gaze. The birthday message also caused discussion. Soobin wrote, “Beomgyu, you are like a spring light that never fades. Happy birthday. You are my number one friend.” On social media forums, some users jokingly commented that the message seemed so sweet that it resembled something a romantic partner might say rather than a simple birthday wish. These details quickly fueled rumors that the two idols may be secretly dating.
As speculation grew, fans began revisiting past interactions between Soobin and Beomgyu. One moment that resurfaced was in 2020, when the two idols were seen walking hand-in-hand at Gimpo International Airport after returning from a program in Japan. At the time, a Korean media outlet even published a headline describing the couple as “looking like a loving couple,” which has now gone viral again.
Beomgyu also previously shared heartfelt words about Soobin. In a message, he said, “Soobin hyung is the person who cares about me the most. Whenever I’m with him, I feel at ease no matter how worried or tired I am. We stay together for a long time.”
These moments only fueled the rumors spreading online.
On social media platforms, opinions remain divided regarding the speculation surrounding the two TXT members. Some fans believe their interactions appear unusually affectionate and suggest feelings beyond friendship. However, many others argue that some “couple fans” may be overinterpreting normal interactions, insisting that Soobin and Beomgyu simply share a close friendship like brothers within the same group.
Born in 2000, Soobin is one of the most recognizable members of TXT, while Beomgyu, born in 2001, is also much loved by fans. TXT debuted seven years ago and quickly gained attention as a junior group to BTS. Throughout their career, the group has achieved great success with popular hits such as Sugar Rush Ride and Blue Hour, earning millions of views on YouTube and building a strong global fan base.
