Yeonjun, a beloved member of the K-pop group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), has withdrawn from the group’s scheduled appearances in Japan following the passing of a close family member.
The somber news was shared by BIGHIT MUSIC on July 4, with the agency announcing that Yeonjun would not be participating in three major televised events set to take place between July 5 and 7.
These include appearances on Nippon TV’s THE MUSIC DAY 2025, MBC Show! Music Core in Japan, and TBS’s CDTV LIVE! LIVE!.
In their official statement, BIGHIT MUSIC expressed their condolences and emphasized the importance of allowing Yeonjun time to grieve privately with his family. They also thanked fans for their understanding during this difficult moment.
Despite Yeonjun’s absence, TXT’s remaining members—Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai—will continue with the planned performances and represent the group during the events in Japan.
The announcement quickly prompted an outpouring of support from fans around the world. MOAs (TXT’s fandom) took to social media to send messages of comfort, love, and strength to Yeonjun.
Hashtags expressing sympathy and encouragement began trending, showing the deep connection fans feel with the artist and the solidarity they share during personal hardships.
Yeonjun’s withdrawal from such high-profile stages highlights not only the emotional weight of the loss he’s experiencing but also the importance of prioritizing mental and emotional well-being.
While fans may miss his presence during the shows, many have emphasized that stepping back to mourn and heal is the right decision.
Yeonjun has long been admired for his talent, charisma, and openness with fans.
This moment serves as a reminder of the humanity behind the idol image and has further deepened the respect many have for him.
BIGHIT MUSIC concluded their statement by extending their deepest sympathies to Yeonjun’s family and asking for continued warm support from fans as he navigates this time of loss.
As TXT continues their Japan promotions and prepares for more international activities, fans await Yeonjun’s eventual return when he is ready, knowing he will come back supported by unwavering love from both his group and MOAs worldwide.
