On September 4, SOOBIN and TAEHYUN held a live broadcast through the group's official NAVER V LIVE.
During the live broadcast, SOOBIN and TAEHYUN mentioned that they both trained under Big Hit for about three years before making debut.
TAEHYUN nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah, I think so too. You know why I decided to join Big Hit? I felt like the agency would do their best for me and it looks like I was right!"
SOOBIN said, "For me, it was because I was a huge fan of BTS. I wanted to become a K-pop star, so it was quite natural for me to audition for Big Hit. Big Hit was the first agency that I auditioned for and surprisingly, I got a call back saying that they wanted me to become their trainee. I couldn't believe it."

Then, TAEHYUN gave away one fun fact about the members of TXT.
He said, "SOOBIN was the only one who e-mailed the agency for an audition. The rest of us were scouted by a casting agent."
SOOBIN confirmed the fact, "Is that really so? Oh, I guess you are right. Yeah, I e-mailed Big Hit and the rest of guys were all scouted.", then smiled.

TXT debuted this March, and its catchy songs and unique performances quickly captured the hearts of many national as well as international fans.
The group's debut album 'THE DREAM CHAPTER: STAR' peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard's World Albums chart, and became the highest charting debut album by an all-male K-pop group on the Billboard 200.
Currently, the group is busy getting ready to make a comeback in October.
