Jaejoong and TXT members Yeonjun and Beomgyu recently made a candid confession about their social lives.

On the 37th episode of 'Jae Friends,' Yeonjun and Beomgyu joined their senior Jaejoong for an honest conversation. The topic of dance challenges and making friends came up during their chat.

Jaejoong brought up the trend of dance challenges among idol groups and expressed, "Inkigayo must be hard, since don't you have to do a lot of dance challenges?"

In response, Yeonjun shared, "I enjoy doing challenges. If I dance to another group's choreography my fans enjoy it so I enjoy the challenges too."

Jaejoong then confessed that meeting new people for these dance challenges has become daunting for him since his MBTI personality changed from ENFJ to INFJ, making him more introverted.

"In my prime… I was known as the most well-connected celebrity. I had that many friends. But I don't have friends anymore," Jaejoong confessed. He continued, "I have around 1,000 or 2,000 contacts on my phone but no one that I can call up and have a meal with."

The TXT members also agreed with Jaejoong's sentiment. Yeonjun shared, "I'm like that too. People think that I have a lot of friends. But I only have a few friends."

When Jaejoong asked how many friends they would be able to call for a spontaneous meal, Beomgyu responded, "I have about four friends that can come out but they all live in the same house," causing everyone to laugh.

As the conversation continues to make waves, fans are appreciating the candidness of their idols and are sending them love and support.

Xiumin’s agency, ONE HUNDRED, has spoken out about his unexpected exclusion from KBS 2TV’s Music Bank.

On March 4, the agency released an official statement, saying, “Xiumin, under INB100, is preparing for his solo comeback with Interview X on March 10, his first in two years and six months."

They added, "We have tried multiple times to reach out to KBS to secure a stage for him, but they have completely ignored us.”

The agency also revealed shocking details, stating, “Recently, KBS unofficially told us that Xiumin cannot appear on Music Bank or any programs where SM Entertainment artists are also performing.”

They continued, “We have repeatedly contacted KBS, asking them to put the artist and his fans first, but they won’t even respond.”

ONE HUNDRED strongly criticized the situation, saying, “As a public broadcast station, KBS should not be making decisions based on a specific company’s stance."

They added, "This is extremely unfair. We have done everything we can to resolve this, and we’re deeply disappointed to have to break this news to fans.”

Despite the setback, the agency reassured fans, promising, “Even if Xiumin can’t appear on KBS, we won’t give up. We’ll find even better opportunities for him to showcase his performances in front of fans.”

Meanwhile, Xiumin, who moved to INB100 (a subsidiary of ONE HUNDRED LABEL) in 2023, is set to release his second mini-album, Interview X, on March 10.

Fans are now waiting to see how this situation unfolds.
