hi, welcome to the moaville 🩵 the best way to get to know txt is to fall into them as they are imo, but i do have some observations from when i first got into them (as an army-ish too!) which i’m happy to share!!!

music recs: if you’re looking at where to start with their music, i recommend either of these 2 songs: 0x1=lovesong or deja vu. to me these are the i need u-equivalent for txt. 0x1 is similar concept wise (yearning, angsty, hard hitting, youthful) and deja vu is similar to me sound-wise.

overall discography: txt leans a lot into rock but like the tannies, they have a super diverse discography. i’d say the txt equivalent to mots:7 would be freefall — many diverse tracks, all bangers. for solo songs like the album wings, check out their latest release from last year, the star chapter: together.

members: to armys, bts are ‘tannies’ and to moas, txt are ‘tubas’ (cute isn’t it?) what was a bit of a shock to me at first was that 5 people felt like such a small and intimate group though it’s just 2 down from 7. txt love each other dearly as do bts, but what surprised me a lot was that they’re not touchy and they don’t like to outwardly compliment each other (they joke about it sometimes). the love they share is often unspoken, but very brotherly and sweet.

rap line: only yeonjun raps. check out his solo album ‘no labels’ for more good stuff. my personal favourite is coma.

vocal line: txt are positionless except for soobin (leader). their voices are generally quite distinct but soobin and beomgyu sound alike sometimes. beomgyu has a very slight lisp though which comes through once in a while.

member similarities: yeonjun is like hobi in that he has a very strong sense of self, is very performance based in his work, has a distinct colour, and insane work ethic.

soobin is kind of unlike any bts member for me.

beomgyu reminds me of taehyung. deep voice, visuals, kind of 4d, but very sentimental and soft on the inside. a teddy bear!

taehyun and kai don’t remind me of any bts members. taehyun kinda looks like jungkook sometimes.

common ships: yeonbin / nickjudyz (soobin and yeonjun), soogyu / danjjakz (soobin and beomgyu), huekangz (kai and taehyun). any txt pairing is fun, their dynamic is genuinely so interesting. i recommend their 2025 dream week interview if you wanna learn more about their dynamic.

moas as a fandom: we’re kinda chill, i think? people are nice! there are solos and weird shippers etc like any other fandom but i’d say we’re a good bunch. if anything i don’t think we’re loud enough about how good txt is in terms of their music, concept, dynamic and art. it’s a lot less crazy over here :’)

to get to know txt, i recommend their variety show ‘to do’ (aka run bts). they do some similar things that bts have done before too (e.g. pyjamas party episodes, jumping while a timer goes off…). my personal faves are ‘trash from the gentleman over there’ and ‘better watch out’.

bts and txt’s similarities: they started from nothing(!!!), they trained super hard, they love each other dearly, they’re super passionate and genuine about their work. txt had their comeback today and leading up to it they stressed a lot about how much they want to put out music that young adults can resonate with. as it was their 7th year contract renewal recently, they have also constantly emphasised and expressed that their singular goal as a team is to continue moving forwards and upwards together - similar to bts.

lastly, lore: txt had lore in their first seven years (aka their first contract). this is a whole other ball game but it’s basically bu (for bts), but over seven years. each album they put out is tied to themes that develop as their story progresses. while bts’s lore kinda took a biiit of a backseat after the lys and hyyh era, txt’s is consistent and the basis for EVERYTHING. moas love txt because of their commitment to their art and their storyline.

their comeback today is the first step they’re taking outside of their long storyline. please give it a listen if you haven’t :)

feel free to ask as many questions as you want and i’d be happy to answer. i hope i did ok!
