TXT Beomgyu's Yellow Face Stunt Has Everyone Talking

Tomorrow X Together (TXT) members Yeonjun, Soobin, and Beomgyu appeared on tvN's long-running variety game show "Amazing Saturday" (놀라운 토요일) on March 28, 2026, and delivered the kind of episode that gives fans material for weeks. Between Beomgyu painting his entire face yellow, Soobin's debut appearance on the show going hilariously sideways, and Yeonjun turning competitive in ways that surprised even his bandmates, TXT managed to leave a mark on one of Korean variety television's most beloved formats.

The episode aired at 7:40 PM KST, with three of TXT's five members joining a lineup that host Boom described as the most characters in Amazing Saturday history for a single dictation round. For fans of the group who have been counting down to their April 13 comeback, the episode provided both entertainment and a timely reminder of why TXT's individual personalities remain one of their most compelling assets.

Beomgyu Goes Full Yellow

The standout moment of the episode arrived before a single game had even been played. Beomgyu showed up in a full Winnie the Pooh costume — and committed to it completely by painting his entire face yellow. It was the kind of choice that cannot be explained by strategy or accident. It was pure Beomgyu.

Throughout the episode, he brought what the show's producers described as "explosive reactions" that generated continuous laughter from both the cast and crew. In one of the episode's more heartwarming subplots, Beomgyu designated fellow cast member Kim Dong Hyun as his "savior" — a label that stuck through the episode and became a running bit. At some point, he taught Kim Dong Hyun choreography from one of TXT's title tracks, an impromptu in-studio performance that the show's editors kept in the final cut for good reason.

For longtime TXT fans who know Beomgyu as the member most likely to lean into a bit with total commitment, the yellow face moment was less a surprise and more a confirmation. He did not do it halfway. He painted his whole face.

Soobin's First Time on the Show

While Yeonjun and Beomgyu have both appeared on Amazing Saturday before — Yeonjun is making at minimum his fourth visit — March 28, 2026 marked Soobin's very first time on the program. That in itself was enough to generate anticipation among fans, since Soobin is widely regarded as one of TXT's most naturally entertaining members in variety settings.

The reality was funnier than expected. Despite talking up his confidence at the start of the episode, Soobin's lyric-guessing abilities disappointed the cast consistently throughout. The gap between his self-assurance and his actual performance became its own comedic arc, and the show's editing leaned into it. Cast members were described as looking at him with polite, barely concealed disbelief.

In fairness to Soobin, Amazing Saturday's dictation challenges are notoriously difficult even for regular participants. The show requires guests to write down song lyrics from a brief audio clip with no visual cues, and the scoring is exact — one wrong syllable is a wrong answer. Confidence going in rarely survives the first round.

Yeonjun's Competitive Side Takes Over

If Beomgyu was the spectacle and Soobin was the comedy, Yeonjun was the competitive engine. Host Boom asked him beforehand whether he was worried about losing composure during the games. Yeonjun's response — that the food prizes on Amazing Saturday are simply too good to stay calm about — set the tone for everything that followed.

True to his word, Yeonjun became intensely competitive as the episode progressed, at one point heckling Soobin during active gameplay. The fact that Soobin was his bandmate made it funnier rather than awkward, and the dynamic between the two — one laser-focused on winning, the other visibly struggling to keep up — gave the episode a clear narrative thread that required no editing assistance.

Yeonjun's competitive streak is not new information for TXT fans, but seeing it deployed in a game show context against his own group member, with food on the line, brought out a version of it that read as genuinely unfiltered. There was no performance involved. He just really wanted those prizes.

The Timing: Countdown to April Comeback

TXT's appearance on Amazing Saturday was not random. The group is currently in the final stretch before their eighth mini album, "7th Year: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns", drops on April 13, 2026 — an announcement they made on the final day of their "MOA Con" anniversary concert at KSPO Dome in Seoul, which drew 33,000 attendees. Japan dates for the concert tour followed.

March 4, 2026 marked TXT's seventh anniversary as a group. They celebrated with the KSPO Dome concert series, and the combination of that milestone, the album announcement, and the variety show appearances in the weeks since has created a sustained momentum heading into spring. Amazing Saturday is the kind of platform that reaches audiences beyond the existing fanbase — casual viewers who may not know TXT's discography but can recognize entertainers worth paying attention to.

The strategy is well-established in K-pop promotion cycles: variety show appearances in the lead-up to a release generate goodwill and visibility at a moment when the group needs both. For TXT, who have one of the more loyal and globally active fanbases in fourth-generation K-pop, the episode also served as a gift to MOA — the fan community name — who had been waiting for any substantial content between the anniversary concert and the April release.

Fan Reaction

Clips from the March 28 episode began circulating on social media before the broadcast had even concluded. Beomgyu's yellow face was the first image to spread, followed quickly by screenshots of Soobin's expression when confronted with his own incorrect answers, and a short clip of Yeonjun audibly heckling during a game round.

Fan commentary across platforms ranged from delighted to slightly concerned about Beomgyu's skincare routine post-filming, with the yellow face paint requiring what fans estimated was a significant amount of time to remove. Beomgyu, for his part, showed no signs during filming of regretting the decision — which is the only possible response when you have already committed to painting your entire face yellow on live television.

The Soobin first-appearance storyline drew equal amounts of fondness and teasing, with fans noting that his confidence-to-performance ratio is a well-documented characteristic that Amazing Saturday simply exposed in a new setting. Multiple fan accounts shared compilation clips within hours of the broadcast.

What to Expect Next

With "7th Year: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns" arriving on April 13, TXT enters the final two weeks of their pre-release window. The album title alone has generated considerable discussion: the phrase "a moment of stillness in the thorns" suggests a contemplative shift in tone compared to some of their more kinetic recent work, though TXT's track record with concept surprises means assumptions about direction tend to be overturned quickly.

For now, the Amazing Saturday episode stands as a reminder that whatever TXT does in their music, their collective and individual personalities remain one of the most watchable things about them. Yeonjun heckling Soobin over food, Beomgyu with a yellow face teaching choreography to a variety show cast member, Soobin gamely absorbing the fallout of misplaced confidence — it is an accurate portrait of a group that has never needed to manufacture personality for the camera.

April 13 cannot arrive soon enough.
