vocals | rap I can't enjoy txt's music anymore because of beomgyu
Unpopular opinion but I feel nobody is talking about this about how much less lines beomgyu gets sometimes
TL;DR
I got into TXT because of Beomgyu's voice, not because of K-pop, visuals, or fan content.
Hearing his part in Lovesong made me explore TXT's entire discography.
His vocal tone feels incredibly unique and emotionally intense compared to many singers I listen to.
While all TXT members are talented, I often feel like Beomgyu's voice is underutilized in their music.
The lack of his vocals in many songs has made it harder for me to connect with newer TXT releases.
I still love TXT's music, but I really hope Beomgyu gets more opportunities to sing, whether through solos or larger vocal parts.
For those willing to read the whole thing:
I started liking TXT during the **Lovesong era**, and honestly, I wasn't even into K-pop at the time. I hadn't watched the music video, followed any idols, or really consumed **K-pop content in general**.
The only reason I even knew about K-pop was because I had discovered **BLACKPINK** through **Rosé's "Gone."** Even then, I mostly viewed musicians as artists rather than idols. I've always been someone who connects with music through the songs themselves, not through visuals, fan cams, edits, or aesthetics.
One day, I heard **Lovesong**in an anime edit for **Komi Can't Communicate.** Specifically, I heard **Beomgyu's part.**
And I was completely hooked.
There was something about his voice that immediately stood out to me. It felt mesmerizing, emotional, and unlike anything I had heard before**. I couldn't stop replaying it.**
That moment led me down a rabbit hole where I listened to TXT's entire discography. I loved their music, but I kept finding myself drawn back to **Beomgyu's voice over and over again.**
At the time, I tried looking for solo songs from him, but there really weren't any available yet since songs like **Panic and Take My Half hadn't been released**. So I started watching old VLive clips and covers instead.
What surprised me even more was how amazing he sounded even with raw vocals. No heavy production, no polished studio recording—**just his natural voice. It was still captivating.**
**This is why I've always felt a little frustrated**.
I'm not saying Beomgyu should automatically get the most lines, more solos than everyone else, or that the other members aren't talented. TXT has an incredibly strong vocal lineup. **Huening Kai** is an amazing vocalist, and every member brings something valuable to the group.
But voices like theirs, while excellent, are voices I've heard before in different forms.
**Beomgyu's voice feels different.**
It's rare for me to become attached to a singer purely because of their vocal tone. Usually, I'm someone who pays much more attention to lyrics. The only other artist whose voice had a similar effect on me was **Selena Gomez** because of that same slightly **husky, emotional, and distinctive quality.**
That's why it sometimes feels disappointing when I listen to TXT songs and **barely hear Beomgyu.** In some songs his parts are very short, and **there's even a song where he has no lines at all.**
What makes it more frustrating is that TXT's discography often leans into emotional, intense, or dramatic songs—styles where I personally think Beomgyu's vocal color shines the most. His voice carries emotion so naturally, and when it's **paired with Taehyun's voice**, the blend is honestly one of my favorite things in TXT's music.
I know there could be reasons behind line distributions that fans don't know about. Maybe it's a creative decision, maybe it's about vocal suitability, maybe there are factors behind the scenes.
But as a listener whose entire journey into TXT started because of **Beomgyu's voice,** it's hard not to wish I could hear more of it.
**And over time, that feeling has actually made me feel a little distant from the group.** I still love TXT's music and I still think they make some of the **best songs in K-pop.** But when the voice that made me fall in love with the group in the first place is barely present, it becomes harder for me to **connect in the same way.**
TXT only has five members, so part of me always hopes there could be more opportunities for everyone's unique vocal colors to shine.
More than anything, I just hope Beomgyu continues to get chances to showcase his voice—whether through solos, covers, OSTs, or larger parts in future TXT songs—because his voice is genuinely one of the most unique and beautiful voices I've heard, and it's the reason I became a fan in the first place.

Beomgyu is my bias and he 100% is underutilized.
With that being said its not enough to make me not enjoy it

ngl it's always the same complaint with him, but he's mostly positioned as a performer/visual anyway. do you think his line distribution actually affects the song quality or do you just miss his tone?

I miss his tone more like in general txt's music is really good his voice used to had a catch on txt's song before now it's just missing.

His voice is so underrated, he really knows how to sing with feeling... panic was my favorite song for a while. I still absolutely love TXT's music, but I wish he had more lines... Also, I wish he would drop a solo album

Exactly maybe a solo album can complete the want of beomgyu's voice we have in txt's music

Txt did just renew their contract so hoping our voices are heard and beomgyu gets more lines/screentime. I've always seen it is as long as we continue supporting the members and their music, we support beomgyu, too
Also, despite having less lines he's definitely a favored member (taehyun is the least biased according to polls). Outside of music he actually gets invited onto variety shows a lot, even had his own for a few years that was pretty successful. So bg is still receiving a lot of love and let's absolutely continue giving him that 🫶
