On September 20, 2021, Beomgyu, member from boy group Tomorrow X Together went on V-Live by himself to talk with fans (MOA's).
All was going well up until the idol began reading hateful comments such as 'beomgyu, you look fat,' 'your face has gotten chubbier,' and much more. The 01' liner played it cool, though, and replied to comments telling them that he was at a healthy weight and took great care of his physical appearance.
A few minutes later, fellow group member Jieun joined the live, and just as she's heard entering the practice room, where Beomgyu had set up the live, he calls out for his member with a loud, 'Noona!'
Beomgyu quickly explains to her the comments he had been receiving as soon as she sits down next to him, and we can clearly see Jieun's entire mood and face shift from neutral to serious.
She scrolls through the comments, finding ones that read exactly what Beomgyu had told her, and she quickly comes to the boy's defense.
"Just because you have a mouth doesn't mean you should always use it," Jieun had said, "Take a look at both what you're saying and how you look yourself before you comment on someone else's appearance."
Beomgyu, pleased with his older member defending him and calling out the comments, laughs loudly.
After the interaction, fans were quick to bash Jieun for calling out fans in such a 'rude' way, saying that it wasn't necessary for her to say such things. On the other hand, the fans that agreed with what she had said quickly came to her own defense:

The next day, September 21, Jieun herself went on a solo live, addressing the issue when questions about what she had said flooded the comments.

Anybody who knows of TXT knows that Jieun's words are true; she is not one to express or show so much emotion and words of love, but it's obvious that she truly cares about her members and will always be there to defend them!
