How Did TXT’s Yeonjun React After Being Called “Big Hit’s Legendary Trainee”?

There is no denying that all the members of TXT are extremely talented, and there is a reason that there are no fixed positions in the group. Each of the members can do everything from sing, dance, rap, and much more!

TXT made an appearance on You Hee-yeol’s Sketchbook, and as expected, You Hee Yeol couldn’t stop gushing about his guests, listing all of their achievements since debuting in 2019.

In particular, You Hee Yeol touched upon the nickname the oldest member Yeonjun has had since his trainee days, and that was “BLT,” which stood for “Big Hit Entertainment’s Legendary Trainee.” (not bacon, lettuce, and tomato).

If there was any doubt on why Yeonjun earned this name, he explained that he also attended extra classes on top of the basic idol training they have at their company.

You have to learn to dance, sing, and rap. On top of that, I also learned personal training. Yes, I worked out too.

Luckily, You Hee Yeol managed to persuade Yeonjun to show fans some of his freestyling dancing, and it is hard to argue that he is extremely talented in so many ways.
