“He’s telling us to calm down?”: TXT’s Taehyun’s Weverse reply on Daydream concept photos cause chaos

TXT’s Taehyun recently commented on a fan’s overzealous comment about their latest concept photo in his calming manner, leading to fans trending the words “Calm Down” with 29k tweets.

Chaos ensued in the K-pop fandom when BIGHIT MUSIC released the group's concept photos on January 9 midnight KST. In the photoshoot, all five members bared their skin and flaunted either their shoulders, collarbones, or the entire back.

Fans’ comments ranged from excited (typed-out) squeals to exaggerated reactions, and Taehyun replied to one fan's remark, asking them to “calm down.” While the idol is known as the most calm yet savage member, his reply heightened fans' excitement as they then began reacting to his comment.

TXT’s Taehyun’s Weverse message adds fuel to the fire after the agency dropped Daydream concept photos

On January 9 midnight KST, TXT, aka TOMORROW X TOGETHER, released concept photos for their new album, The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION. While MOAs had geared up to witness the first look at the concept photos, they didn’t expect that they were in for a chaotic ride.

In the photos, Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai looked dreamy as they basked in the sun in a forest-like setting. The soft makeup on the members made them look extra charming, but what threw fans off the rails were the outfits. Each member wore an outfit that showed off their muscles, abs, or shoulders one way or another.

As fans began commenting on the surprise reveal, they were reminded of Huening Kai's warning prior to the photos’ release. The idol had informed fans that they might be “a little shocked” when they first see the pictures, adding that the pictures were “really pretty.”

MOAs were only later able to understand the reason behind the message, and they soon began sharing the "Daydream" concept pictures on social media. One fan posted Taehyun’s photo on Weverse with the caption:

The TXT member replied to the comment in just two simple words and asked the fan to calm down. The reply led fans across the world to tell the idol that it was impossible to do so as it was the first time that MOAs saw the idols revealing so much skin.
