TOMORROW X Together, also known as TXT, has been dominating the K-Pop music industry since their debut in March 2019.

The five-member music group has become a success around the world and fans want to know more about the TXT members.

Who are the TXT members?

Like BTS, the second biggest K-Pop boyband, TXT, has a meaning behind its name.

They knowingly go by Tomorrow X Together where the x is read as "by."

TXT told Billboard their name signifies how they've "all come together under one dream in hopes of building a new tomorrow.

Their continuous success has landed them as the first K-Pop group to perform at 2022 Lollapalooza and later rang in 2023 performing at Disneyland for Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve.

Let's take a closer look at the members that make up TXT:

Soobin

Choi Soobin, widely known as Soobin, is TXT's lead vocalist born on December 5, 2000.

When Soobin sent his audition tape to Big Hit Entertainment, he almost lost his opportunity to fame as he put the wrong number on his form.

However, the company was so impressed with Soobin's tape that they eventually found him.

Soobin told Paper Magazine that their group dynamic has increasingly grown stronger the more popular they get.

The lead vocalist said: "Our relationship has evolved. I used to think that we were like a family that couldn’t get any closer, but each month we do become closer.

"I can read their expressions so well. I look at them, and I can predict what they’re going to say and how they’re going to act. We’ve become more family than family."

Yeonjun

Choi Yeonjun was born on September 13, 1999, making him the oldest member of TXT.

Though Yeonjun was born in Seoul, he spent a brief time in his youth living in California.

Before training with Big Hit Entertainment, the Seoul-born vocalist was a trainee at Cube Entertainment for five years.

Though he's spent years training as a K-Pop artist, Yeonjun often struggled with his confidence.

Yeonjun told Weverse Magazine: "I never liked to lose or be compared to others, but I was timid as a kid and always comparing myself to those around me and putting myself down.

"At some point, I finally thought I should love myself more and tried to fix that about myself."

Beomgyu

Choi Beomgyu is the center vocalist born on March 13, 2001.

Like Soobin, Beomgyu almost missed his shot at fame as well.

Due to his exams, he missed his opportunity to audition in Seoul. However, the company came back the next day and was able to recruit Beomgyu as a trainee.

In addition to being a vocalist, he also plays guitar and produced a few TXT songs including Maze in the Mirror and Thursday's Child.

Taehyun

Kang Taehyun was born on February 5, 2002, in Seoul, South Korea.

He also shares the role of lead vocalist with Soobin.

Unlike the other members, Taehyun was scouted by Big Hit Entertainment and waited outside his school to offer an audition.

Apart from singing with TXT, Taehyun loves to dance and go to the gym.

When interviewed by NME, Taehyun explained that their music is popular because it's relatable.

The singer said: "Aren’t most people inspired by emotions they understand? The more we understand something, the deeper we can dive into it. 

"We’ve made a lot of progress – both musically and personally speaking – but because we’re still people who are growing, it was natural for us to address issues and experiences that were relevant to us."

Huening Kai

Kai Kamal Huening, also known as Huening Kai, was born on August 14, 2002, in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Huening Kai is half German-American and half Korean.

His sisters, Lea Navvab and Huening Bahiyyih, are K-Pop idols as well.

Lea was part of the K-Pop girl group VIVA whereas Huening Bahiyyih was a part of Kep1er.

Before signing with Big Hit Entertainment, he auditioned for another company alongside his sister but got rejected.

As a TXT member, Hueningkai enjoys playing piano and guitar when he isn't dominating the stage as a vocalist.
