Thread proving TXT live in 2 separate dorms and Yeonjun + Soobin moved in together in 2021 🧵

Per 2025 fanmeets:

🐿️ We live on two floors.
💬 In the dorm, who rooms beside e/o?
🐧 Next to me is Taehyun.
💬 And next to Soobin?
🐧 I don’t remember, actually... Maybe... Yeonjun?

As pointed out in the Soogyu "dorm analysis" thread, it's 100% undeniable that for the past few years, TXT have lived in 2 separate apartments in the same building.

It is proven by Beomgyu's 2025 DreamWeek interview. In this interview, Beomgyu contrasted his clean 2-person apartment (where he supposedly lived with Soobin) versus the messy/dirty apartment in which the other 3 members live.

The wording of Beomgyu's answers is unambiguous proof that the TXT members live in 2 separate dorm units. This is also supported by Taehyun saying TXT live on 2 separate "floors" in the 2025 fansign.

TXT lived in a single smaller apartment (where Taehyun+Kai and Soobin+Beomgyu allegedly shared rooms) until March/April 2021, when TXT moved into their current 2-apartment setup.

We know they moved in March/April 2021 because Soobin said he got Odi when he moved into his new dorm, and he said he brought Odi home on April 2, 2021.

🐰 "I always wanted to have a pet so I started raising hedgehogs when I moved into my own private room in our new place."

🐰 "'When is Odi's birthday?' Give me a minute! I picked Odi's birthday as the day I brought him home... It's been 158 days since he's been by my side. His birthday is on the 2nd of April (2021)!"

Photo evidence of TXT's dorms also shows they moved into the 2 separate dorms in early 2021, as they have 2 different living rooms.

Comparison below of:
1. Soobin's June 2021 post
2. Latest dorm reveal from 2022
3. Yeonbin's Oct 2023 gaming live
4. Taehyun's June 2025 post

Yeonjun's comments in the October 2023 Yeonbin gaming live also indicate that they were playing in the 2-person dorm's living room, which is NOT the apartment Kai lives in:

🦊 Does Kai come here sometimes?
🦊 He comes here from time to time, right? You play this together?

While there's some slightly conflicting photo evidence, namely the 5 loofahs in the Sept 2021 TALK X TODAY ep and what looks like 5 tumblers in the kitchen in Soobin's 2025 watermelon practice vid, I think all this suggests is that one dorm unit is the more "communal" shared area

More importantly:

Prior to late 2023, the company tried to hide the fact that TXT lived in two dorms, and Kai and Taehyun also pretended to room together—probably because Korean fans were aware that TXT's building has no 5-room units. Until 2023, the members acted as if they all lived in a single apartment.

(Similarly, it is also very likely that Soobin actually roomed with Yeonjun before TXT moved into their 2-apartment setup in 2021, but the company pretended that Soobin and Beomgyu were the ones who roomed together in the old dorm.)

One exception to the coverup that TXT continued to live together in one apartment is this Dec 2021 live. In this live, Kai revealed that Yeonjun met Odi way more often than the other 3 members did, and spoke like Yeonjun would know Odi's health way better than Kai would.

While Soobin immediately tried to downplay Kai's comments, Kai's comments indicate that Soobin and Yeonjun lived together in the 2-person dorm with Odi.

Kai's reply in the August 2025 fancall also proves:

1. Yeonbin are actually the ones who live in the 2-person dorm (NOT Soogyu, like TXT pretended since late 2023/2024).

2. Yeonbin living tgth is censored by the company (that's why Kai pretends to not remember YJ is beside SB).

Taehyun's reply to Yeonbin flirting on Dec 27, 2020 suggests why Yeonbin got their own place in 2021:

1. All 5 members still lived together in Dec 2020, and

2. Taehyun didn't want to be home when he thought Yeonbin would be fucking, LOL

(PS. the pic is real, I just fixed T/L.)

In March 2021 leading up to moving to their new dorms, Soobin also made a number of VERY interesting posts and song recs.

For context, Soobin has said that he attaches a lot of personal meaning to song lyrics and that he is intentional in the specific lyrics he screenshots.

On March 3, Soobin did a short live that seemed focused around him playing "Ring Pop" by Jax for fans and talking about how much he liked the song and how moved he was by the lyrics and music video, which are about a couple living tgth & making an informal engagement/commitment.

Soobin also posted "Ring Pop" afterwards on weverse, saying "This is the song I recommended earlier. Just listening to it makes me feel great, hehe"

Interestingly, Soobin also posted that the members had gathered the morning of March 3 (so before his live) to have a "serious and personal" talk, abt which he gave no details

Given the rest of his March posts and 2021 timeline, I think it being abt Yeonbin's rlnship makes sense

Then on March 14, Soobin posted about it being White Day (a day when people are supposed to reciprocate gifts they got on Valentine’s Day)

and replied with a crying emoji to someone asking whether he’d gotten candy for White Day.

Soobin also revealed he had prepared to drink whiskey and was drinking in the living room (I'm not sure if he was by himself or with Taehyun possibly keeping him company but drinking raspberry wine)

Soobin drank on White Day after crying about whether he got chocolates or not...

The next night, Soobin posted lyrics suggesting possibly breaking up with his lover because of his lover’s issues, despite still loving and caring for them.

Soobin was also apparently sitting in the studio by himself, nursing his angst and listening to this song in the dark.

This was followed by “Hey stupid, I love you” on March 16, suggesting his lover was being uncommunicative and having commitment issues, and that Soobin was trying to lovingly reassure them while knocking some gentle sense into their head.

Then some kind of lovers’ quarrel cuz his lover was having emotional/personal issues related to their romantic relationship (gf➡️bf?), on March 17

And then about needing a night off after a fight, with strong “ily but I need a break from this argument rn babe” vibes, on March 24

What is most significant is that Soobin's song posts in March 2021 were all in English, and not really Soobin's usual taste. Almost all of the other lyrics that Soobin has posted and attached sentimental significance to were in Korean. The songs seem to be a lot more like Yeonjun's taste, since he listens to English songs in a similar style.

Seeing as Soobin seemed to actually have relationship problems IRL (since he planned to get drunk on White Day and cried about not getting candy)... I think that Soobin and Yeonjun had a fight about moving in together, and Yeonjun had commitment issues/doubts about it, so the song posts were like Soobin's messages to Yeonjun while they were fighting about it.

The reason that Yeonjun had commitment issues/doubts is most likely because he knew that there could be professional repercussions to them moving in together, if fans or the public found out that they are dating due to them living together separately from the other 3 members. It is also likely that getting the company to agree might have required them to give up professional benefits in exchange, since the company was also trying to hide their relationship.

Then on March 30, 2021, Soobin posted “Conversations in the Dark” by John Legend

The lyrics to this song are about living in the same home together with your partner and making a commitment to love them and be with them.

It echoes the same themes expressed in "Ring Pop" by Jax.

“Conversations in the Dark” is also about loving someone self-critical.

In 2023, Soobin dedicated another song to Yeonjun, which he said YJ would relate to ("Deep Sea" by Shin Jihoon), which is sung from the POV of someone self-critical struggling to accept their partner's love.

Soobin also expressed this exact same kind of sentiment towards Yeonjun on other occasions, similar to the lyrics to "Convos in the Dark" ("you say that you're not worth it, you get hung up on your flaws / well, in my eyes you are perfect as you are"):

🐰 I wish you’d love yourself a bit more
🦊 I do love myself, though?
🐰 Yes, but if I were you, I think I'd totally just die from how pretty I am~
🐰 I feel you love yourself less than you should, for all you are. You’re such a cool hyung
🦊 I think I get your meaning, so thanks

Considering the thematic consistency of all of Soobin's posts and sentiments, I think Soobin must have posted “Conversations in the Dark” to commemorate moving in with Yeonjun on March 30, 2021, and affirming their commitment. Soobin brought Odi home a few days later on April 2.
25
Then on April 4, Soobin posted a song about making love with "this king-size (bed) to ourselves". 🙈

This brings us full circle to Taehyun's WV post, explaining again why Yeonbin would have moved into their own apartment separate from the other 3 members.

Taehyun's reply to Yeonbin flirting on Dec 27, 2020 suggests why Yeonbin got their own place in 2021:

1. All 5 members still lived together in Dec 2020, and

2. Taehyun didn't want to be home when he thought Yeonbin would be fucking, LOL

Additional proof for March 30 being a significant relationship-related date for Yeonbin:

Yeonbin's cutest, coupliest TikTok was posted exactly on March 30, 2025... which is the anniversary of them moving in together. And October 30 is the half-year mark.

There is additional evidence that Soobin and Yeonjun got engaged in March 2021. ⬇️

As a child, Yeonjun made a wedding dress in kindergarten and tried it on himself. When he grew up, Yeonjun wore a real vintage wedding dress for ‘Freeze’ album in May 2021, looking like a bride.

Yeonjun was styled in this wedding dress by Rakta, TXT's former stylist who has been shown to have a close relationship with TXT and who has expressed pro-queer sentiments. It is likely that she knew about Yeonjun and Soobin's relationship and them getting engaged and moving in together in March 2021, which is why she staged this photoshoot for the album around that time.

Out of all the concept photos Yeonjun has, the ONLY one he kept on his bedside shelf that he showed off in the 2024 tour of his room, was his photo in that wedding dress from 2021.

Being photographed in that dress was very meaningful, for him to cherish it so much 3 years later.

Yeonjun’s wedding dress concept photos were taken for the album release in May 2021.

Following that, in the second half of 2021, Taehyun teased Yeonjun about certain people (most likely Yeonjun himself off camera) making complaints saying “Let’s report/register our marriage.”
Media image
30
And in May 2022, we got evidence that Yeonjun was apparently STILL making these “let’s register (i.e. make official) our marriage” comments to Soobin, both on and off camera.

🐰 Why are you like this? I’m going to report this as workplace harassment.
🦊 Yah, let’s register (report) our marriage instead~

The way that Yeonjun started saying “혼인신고 (register/report marriage)” so quickly after Soobin said “신고 (register/report)” and Yeonjun's tone suggest that he made this pun to Soobin before. This seems to have been a common pun that Yeonjun was making off-camera in the second half of 2021 and early 2022.
