TXT Excite MOAs By Walking Through The Audience In Chicago, But Many Have Concerns Regarding COVID-19 Safety
본문
TXT have officially embarked on the North American leg of their 2022 TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR ., starting in Chicago.
Previously, TXT held concerts in Seoul, South Korea. International MOAs (TXT fans) admired that the members interacted with the audience by walking through the crowd at the concert. While they hoped for TXT to do the same at their international shows, it didn’t seem likely considering how poor concert-goers, particularly in the U.S., have followed COVID-19 safety precautions recently.
i’m so so happy for txt and moas getting to be this close with each other

Recently, there was controversy in the Stray Kids fandom concerning this topic. Shortly after they began their tour in the U.S., three members tested positive, and many Stays (Stray Kids fans) felt like it was due to a large number of maskless attendees.
Consequently, two concerts immediately were postponed. Considering others travel, this caused frustration for many.
notice how everyone in korea and japan wore their masks and there were no issues ???

So, ahead of TXT’s U.S. tour, netizens have been spreading the word and advising their fellow MOAs to mask up out of concern for something similar happening.
IMPORTANT during concerts:
1. Pls, wear a mask even if rules allow not to. Keep everyone safe!
2. Do not throw things at TXT. Wave the flowers/etc for them to see it & they will take it themselves.
3. If there will be interaction w a crowd like in Seoul then do not leave ur seat!— Т✘Т☆ВООK

We certainly don’t want any TXT members getting sick, especially not on tour.

hopefully everyone will cooperate for the sake of txt thank u

Regardless, some fans who were already sick chose to attend anyway. So, even more, MOAs were urged to be cautious.
CHICAGO MOA’n
Someone in section 209 has tested positive for COVID and is still attending.
I am so sorry. I found out via a tiktok. #TXT_WORLD_TOUR #TXTinChicago #txtchicago

Still, TXT had chosen to trust MOAs and walk into the audience anyway.

It excited everyone to see TXT up close and personal like that. The members went into the crowd just like they had done for their previous shows.
THEY WENT IN THE CROWD !!!!! #ACTLOVESICKinCHICAGO #ACT_LOVE_SICK #TOMORROW_X_TOGETHER @TXT_members @TXT_bighi pic.twitter.com/cy5gbycKsJ

txt chicago
The above video went viral with 128.4K views at the time of writing. Yet, many netizens expressed concern for TXT.
Viewers of the video couldn’t help but notice that several people in the crowd, even right next to TXT, were bare-faced.
MOAs online were horrified to see the lack of safety on the part of those. So, the majority of comments called out the “reckless behavior” of non-maskers.
One common excuse for choosing not to wear a mask at a concert is that it may limit interactions with one’s idol. However, many MOAs pointed out that the TXT members showed a preference for those wearing masks.
“JSJSJSJSS guys soobin locked eyes with me” cause u not wearing a mask girl

If that isn’t reason enough to want to wear a mask, others reminded potential concertgoers that there are still several stops for the tour; it’s just the beginning. We can’t afford members getting sick and the tour postponed while they’re already abroad. Unfortunately, after seeing the video, many have lost hope for their concerts, worried that TXT could have easily contracted COVID-19.
if txt walk around the crowd during any song keep ur distance and do not crowd them and PLS wear your mask! there’s a lot of people that have paid for nonrefundable flights for later shows that they will lose if they get sick because you didn’t want to wear ur masks #TXTinChicago

So, concertgoers are being urged by their fellow MOAs to follow all safety precautions regarding COVID-19. It is for the sake of all those attending the concert with them and, of course, TXT themselves.
moas who are close to the stage aren't wearing mask dang THINK OF OTHER'S SAFETY ESP TXT! even if u are vaccinated u can still catch covid, if you dont want to wear a mask then dont open your mouth for the entire concert ekdujwsm
