TXT, aka TOMORROW X TOGETHER, went viral on social media for selling zucchini on the streets of Gwangju Metropolitan City, South Korea. On July 10, 2025, the Love Language singers participated in a mission titled Idol Festa Operation: Nationwide Sparkling Tour to boost the local economy.
The group members—Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai—were spotted selling zucchini for 990 KRW at a pop-up store while also going around the streets. The 990 KRW zucchini came along with a ticket that allows the buyer to attend an impromptu concert held by the boy group.
As the clips of the quintet started circulating on the internet, many fans were left in confusion as it was surprising for the group to sell vegetables. They turned to X to express their thoughts about this operation while also making hilarious comments, urging locals to purchase zucchini from them.
