After the talented artist joined the boys on stage, she was truly relatable AF as she went to hug the members, and it was this moment that had the fans both LOL’ing but also appreciative of the boys’ manners.

When Coi Leray went in to hug the members, fans noticed that the group reciprocated it but, rather than touching her, went for the “air hug.” Whether it was in fear of “dating rumors” that male idols get when interacting with females or out of respect for Coi Leray, it became a hot topic online.

Yet, what made netizens laugh the most was how different Taehyun‘s hug with Coi Leray was as the young idol went in for a proper hug rather than following his members.

When the videos were shared, netizens had hilarious reactions to the video. In a TikTok video that is gaining attention, netizens spoke about how Taehyun was ready to risk it all for the hug and just how adorable Coi Leray was with the members.

While Taehyun might have been more confident to hug Coi Leray, it didn’t make his actions any less respectful than the rest of his members. Physical affection among friends is very different for those in Western countries, and hugging is seen as normal. It shows that even though their actions were different, all the members of TXT showed respect and love for Coi Leray in their own way.
