On the latter, Jake also touched on the group’s relationship with labelmates TXT. They made headlines last December when they both performed a medley of iconic K-Pop songs for the 2021 KBS Song Festival.

Not only was it the first time they performed with their seniors, it was also their first collaboration with another group since their debut. It unsurprisingly made them more worried than usual to give everyone a perfect stage.

It was our first time doing a collaborative performance, so I was nervous and really worried, honestly.

Thankfully, TXT was accommodating and friendly. They were even the first to ask for the other group’s phone numbers to keep in touch after the collaboration.

Still, it was TXT, which was a big relief.

Before the 2021 KBS Song Festival, the two groups seldom interacted because of their busy schedules. Though they still left each other messages on air, they couldn’t find the time to really get to know each other.

We couldn’t talk to each other much at the company because everyone’s busy, so I really wanted to bond over this.

The “Legend of K-Pop” collaboration, however, meant that they were scheduled to practice together numerous times before the big day itself. ENHYPEN and TXT were finally able to get closer, and they did so quickly!

I’m really happy we grew close after being together all that time.
