TXT’s leader Soobin is one of those K-pop idols who often goes viral for his funny comments and actions. Once again, it has happened.

Internet Goes Wild As TXT Soobin Recalls Trainees Discovering Albums With X Marks

Soobin appeared on Yoo Byung-jae’s fun YouTube show called I Really Hate Scary Things. There, he discussed something odd that happened when he was still a trainee at Big Hit Entertainment, which is now known as HYBE. He and the other young trainees once saw several albums with big red “X” marks placed on a staircase. For a short while, they felt scared and thought something strange was going on inside the building.

Later, they found out the albums actually belonged to the group Monsta X. Everyone laughed at the misunderstanding. It’s important to note that Soobin made it clear that it was just a harmless memory from their early trainee days when they were young and used to get scared easily.

However, the video spread like wildfire online. Some people started twisting the story into something much darker. They alleged that the red “X” marks indicated witchcraft or secret rituals targeting rival groups. A few people even tried to connect it to old rumours about HYBE having links with a cult group called Dahn World.

The reactions on social media were very strong and mixed. Many posts claimed HYBE was using black magic on rival artists. Whereas some fans found them funny. Others also said that it was too much and people were overthinking.
