A TXT fan account (@txtdom) posted a moving video comparing the group’s performances of “Crown”, their debut title track, from 2019 to 2026. The side-by-side edit shows the members performing the same choreography in their early days and in the present, highlighting their noticeable growth, maturity, and evolution as artists.
The video, which runs over 3 minutes, alternates between their first performances—featuring youthful looks and fresh energy—and more recent stages where the members appear more mature with a stronger stage presence. The iconic “Crown” choreography remains the same, but the difference in confidence, execution, and charisma is clear.
The 2019 footage comes from their debut era, when TXT first performed “Crown” on March 4, 2019, during their Debut Celebration Show, followed by their early music show appearances, including M Countdown on March 7. At the time, the five members (Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai) had just debuted, and the song quickly became one of their most important tracks.

The 2026 version comes from their recent “Steal the Wind” world tour, which kicked off on November 13 at the KSPO Dome in Seoul. According to the setlist from the first night, “Crown” was part of the encore, showing that the group still includes their debut song even seven years later and on a large-scale international tour.
The post quickly went viral, racking up thousands of likes, reposts, and emotional comments. Many MOAs reacted with tears, remembering how they first discovered the group through this song and how much they’ve grown together since then.
“Crown” (whose Korean title translates to “One Day Horns Grew from My Head”) was the lead single from TXT’s debut EP in March 2019. The song is about the growing pains of adolescence and became a symbol of the group’s beginning. Watching the evolution of the performance in this video has sparked strong nostalgia among fans, who point out not only the members’ physical changes but also how they’ve matured as artists while keeping the essence of their early days.
Have you seen the video yet? It’s hard not to get emotional watching the journey they’ve taken over these seven years.
