In recent days, TXT‘s Soobin and ATEEZ‘s San moved fans by showing their close bond, talking flirtatiously about their encounter at Gayo Daejejeon and praising each other’s looks.
On December 31st, 2025, MBC Gayo Daejejeon was held, bringing together many K-pop artists that dominate the industry with their music and demonstrating the close bond they have with other groups, even from different agencies.
During this event a video of TXT members doing a circle to celebrate together went viral due to Soobin being spotted capturing San to join them, but that was not all, as the ATEEZ member went live days later to talk beautifully about his colleague.

“I made eye contact with Soobin, and his eyes were really pretty… so I started seeing that moment in slow motion.”
“‘Hyung, hyung, hyung,’ and I could see his eyes sparkle as he reached out towards me. I was completely drawn. Initially I didn’t want to join; the boys were having fun (doing the circle dance), so I just watched them. But that look lured me in.”
“There was no way of not joining after his hand reached out to me and the way he looked at me, so I went. What can you do when someone is so handsome? I found out that I’m weak for handsome people. The way everything went into slow motion.”

For his part, during Soobin’s live, he made reference to his hyung’s words and told his side, saying, “I saw San hyung talk about me beautifully. I remember he wore this revealing outfit, and his body is insane, very muscular. The way he smiles is very pretty.”
“We were doing the circle dance, but he was the only one who didn’t do it. So I looked at him and asked him to join; I grabbed his hand, and we did it together. He seemed to have a lot of fun.”
Soobin (TXT) talked about San on his live (rough translation):
“Sanie-hyungnim spoke so beautifully (San’s last live when he mentioned about group circle dance at gayo daejejeon). He said such nice things, so I noticed it too – and what really stayed with me about Sanie-hyungie… pic.twitter.com/wDZ0LGNFdp
