TXT Faces Harsh Criticism for “Worst Performance” at 2025 MAMA

URGENT UPDATE: TXT’s highly anticipated performances at the 2025 MAMA Awards have ignited a fierce backlash, with many labeling their showings as the “worst performance” of the event. The group, part of HYBE Group, faced intense criticism from fans and netizens alike following their appearances on November 28 and November 29.

The controversy began when Yeonjun took the stage alone on November 28, delivering renditions of “Coma” and “Talk to You.” However, the following night, their full group performance of “Upside Down Kiss” and “Beautiful Strangers” failed to impress, with online commentators declaring them “dead last” in stage presence. A viral post on Pann criticized TXT’s overall performance, stating, “The gap between them and the other idols who performed today was huge.”

Netizens reacted swiftly, with many expressing disappointment despite being fans of the group. Comments reflected a mix of frustration and disbelief, with one user stating, “I’m a TXT fan, but at this point, their bad performances just make me laugh.” Others pointed fingers at the group’s performance quality, questioning their ability to handle choreography from more seasoned groups like BTS and SEVENTEEN.

The 2025 MAMA Awards were overshadowed by other controversies, including G-Dragon‘s live vocal performance drawing scrutiny and Stray Kids‘ controversial win of the Daesang. Many fans expressed discontent with the awards’ decisions, further fueling the debate around TXT’s performance.

As social media buzzed with reactions, one comment highlighted the stark contrast in stage presence, stating, “Felix completely dominated this year’s MAMA. He was insanely charismatic and cool.” Such sentiments have spurred discussions on the competitive nature of K-pop performances and the expectations placed on groups like TXT.

The immediate fallout from the 2025 MAMA Awards has raised questions about the future trajectory of TXT within the industry. With fans and critics alike calling for a reassessment of their stage skills, the group faces mounting pressure to deliver stronger performances in the future.

As reactions continue to pour in, fans are left wondering how TXT will respond to this intense scrutiny. Will they rise to the occasion, or will this moment linger as a blemish on their record? Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
