TXT DEBUT!!  
Ugh so exciting. We finally can get to know these kids.

The music video is fun and colorful, the coreography is great, the kids are adorable. The only problem that I have with them is probably, normally this is a genre I do not prefer. This cheerful happy tone with boys in colorful clothing and big smiles seem just so generic and is a to-go concept for nugu groups. The title song is a grower though, I like it by my third time watching the MV hahahaha. It's a safe debut. But again, Big Hit wanted this group to have a different concept with BTS and it's working great so far.

Yesterday I was in a meeting in the outskirts of the town so I couldn't watch the debut on time. They were trending, they were everywhere, it was a nice, busy, exciting day.

I was intrigued by Huening Kai since the beginning and this debut only cemented it : he's my bias in TXT. He is so adorable and pretty! And ... is a hyper 16 year old boy.

By the way, I was thinking why Big Hit decided to use their real names instead of making up new stage names, and some reasons I could think of are:
1. To fit with the group's concept. These are a bunch of flower boys singing happy songs, they don't need intimidating stage names like 'Rap Monster', they need to be as close to boys next door as possible.
2. After all the stage names that they gave to BTS, most fans don't even call them with that, we always use their real names or other nicknames made by fans.

Kai is still a big mystery though. Yes he is mixed but mixed of what? Some article says he was born in Brazil, some says in Hawaii. Some says his father was an actor in China, WHAT IS THE TRUTH. Like, is he going by the name Kai Huening in real life or Jeon Kai? What is his real name, I NEED TO KNOW.

Being mixed is unique to him, so Big Hit decided that he'll have his full name Huening Kai to also distinguish from the already established EXO Kai.

Anyway, he's adorable. Looking forward to watch more TXT contents and listen to their album this whole week.

yes!!!!! txt's debut !!!! i meant to comment on this sooner haha my life got away from me TT

i agree their songs are mainly growers (cat & dog........ why did my favorite song off their EP have to be the one with barking), but it might just be a difference in my preferred genre! i think the boys are so cute. its really fresh watching them interact and stuff?? going from watching them run around looking for papers to watching bts jump on hobi's bed for his bday live... how is there an age range of 10 years between these two groups? lmao

i saw a lot of ppl complaining that their debut was too generic?? like saying their music was too mainstream/has a popular pop sound that they didn't like, and that the members had no personality to them outside of being flower boys. honestly i think bighit just wants them to be likable and easily accessible? its the company's first time debuting a new group since bts, i think? i mean, not only do txt have a reputation to uphold, but bighit does as well!

re: their names, i wonder if that thing about authenticity factors in ?? like ppl keep saying bts are popular because they are authentic to themselves and what they believe. i wonder if bighit saw that and was like "well i guess stage names are out of the question!!!" or something?? i wonder if txt were given certain roles to be in the group, or characters they kind of have to portray like with bts's start--like how seokjin was supposed to be the cool, intimidating type. i dont really think i see anything like that with txt, so i wonder!

i think im stuck between beomgyu, yeonjun, and soobin. i need to know them better TT
