TXT’s Yeonjun Kicks Off His Solo Debut Journey With The 'GGUM' Dance Challenge

TXT’s Yeonjun is all set to dazzle fans with his solo mixtape, ‘GGUM’, dropping on September 19th at 6 PM KST. The anticipation for his release has been building, especially after Yeonjun launched a dance challenge for the mixtape on September 13th, sparking a viral buzz on Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

Just four days after the pre-release of the dance challenge, it has already garnered over 17 million combined views by September 17th. The choreography, particularly set to the catchy chorus “chewing gum,” has become the centerpiece of the challenge. Yeonjun’s sleek, groovy moves have left fans amazed by his impeccable dance skills. The choreography blends smoothness with intensity, making it as visually captivating as it is difficult to pull off. Some have humorously commented that only Yeonjun himself can execute the moves perfectly, while memes of fans playfully “running away” from the challenging routine have added a fun twist to the craze.

Yeonjun’s performance prowess is nothing new, but ‘GGUM’ sets a higher bar. The dance challenge has attracted professional dancers who are giving the routine their own spin, but it’s clear that Yeonjun’s version stands out for its creativity and precision.

To keep the excitement building, TXT’s official social media channels posted a teaser photo at midnight on September 17th, which gave fans a glimpse into the upcoming music video. The intriguing shot features a sticky piece of gum stuck to the sole of a shoe, hinting at the quirky vibe the video might offer. Another teaser is scheduled to drop on September 18th, a day before the full music video and song premiere.

Musically, ‘GGUM’ leans into a hip-hop and electronic fusion, with modulated vocals and a powerful piano-driven break section. Yeonjun’s personal touch extends beyond his dance moves—he was involved in the choreography process, crafting unique gestures like the gum-chewing motion that ties into the mixtape’s theme. His commitment to the overall performance flow is sure to impress.

After the release of ‘GGUM’, Yeonjun will hit the stage to perform on popular music shows, starting with KBS2’s ‘Music Bank’ on September 20th. He’s also scheduled to appear on MBC’s ‘Show! Music Core’, SBS’s ‘Inkigayo’, and Mnet’s ‘M Countdown’, ensuring that fans won’t miss a chance to see him in action.

With ‘GGUM’ already creating a viral moment, Yeonjun’s solo effort is set to be a significant highlight, further showcasing his multifaceted talent in both music and dance. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see just how this release will continue to unfold.
