Yeonjun Parenting Comments Clarified Amid TXT Variety-Show Confusion

Yeonjun’s parenting comments on ‘TXT’s Parenting Diary’ were tied to the group’s first attempt at caring for 14-month-old Yujun, not to the separate web-variety controversy that later drew criticism. The available source record shows the remark by Beomgyu and Yeonjun was presented in promotional coverage for Wavve’s 10-part parenting observation reality program, which premiered on Wavve on May 1, 2026.¹

The issue now being searched as the “Yeonjun Parenting Controversy” appears to involve mixed attribution between two different entertainment items: Yeonjun’s comments about childcare in ‘TXT’s Parenting Diary’ and a separate controversy surrounding a preview for ‘Zzanbro Shin Dong-yup’ that featured TXT members Soobin and Beomgyu.²

What Yeonjun Said About Parenting

In the source-backed promotional material for ‘TXT’s Parenting Diary,’ Beomgyu and Yeonjun described their first full-day experience with a baby as difficult but emotionally rewarding. Their quoted comment was: “It was our first time spending all day with a baby, so there were difficult parts, but when the baby clapped and smiled, we experienced the miracle of those hard feelings melting away.”¹

The comment was framed as a reaction to hands-on childcare during the program, rather than as a dispute or apology. Wavve’s newsroom described the show as a 10-episode parenting observation reality series in which TXT members meet 14-month-old Yujun and each show different childcare roles.¹ The same announcement characterized Yeonjun as a member who expresses affection toward Yujun but ends up in a one-sided display of affection, a description repeated in other coverage of the main trailer.³

Sports Donga also reported that Yeonjun was shown as a member pouring affection into trying to attract the baby’s attention.⁴ Across the available records, the Yeonjun-related parenting material centers on his response to the baby and the difficulty of childcare, not on a confirmed controversy involving his own statement.

The program itself was introduced as a return to a familiar Korean entertainment format. The Fact reported that ‘TXT’s Parenting Diary’ followed the format of ‘god’s Parenting Diary’ after 24 years, focusing on TXT members’ first childcare challenge with 14-month-old Yujun.³

Separate Controversy Involved Another Show

A key distinction is that the controversy reported later in April and May concerned ‘Zzanbro Shin Dong-yup,’ not Yeonjun’s parenting comments in ‘TXT’s Parenting Diary.’ OSEN reported on April 30, 2026, that a preview for the YouTube web variety show featuring TXT’s Soobin and Beomgyu was revised after sexual-harassment criticism.²

In that case, OSEN reported that the production team said changes had been made to the preview and video after considering fans’ opinions. The outlet also quoted the production team as saying the preview had been made “a little provocative” and that viewers might not have the same misunderstanding after seeing the full episode.²

Money Today reported on May 2, 2026, that criticism had spread over scenes involving Soobin and Beomgyu in the ‘Zzanbro Shin Dong-yup’ preview, and that the production side deleted the relevant portion.⁵ That report also said the fandom planned a truck protest directed at BigHit Music after identifying inappropriate remarks and behavior in album-promotion content.⁵

The available material therefore separates the two matters. Yeonjun’s parenting-related quote came from coverage of ‘TXT’s Parenting Diary,’ while the later criticism and video revision involved a different program preview and different TXT members.

Program Status And Public Framing

By June 12, 2026, ‘TXT’s Parenting Diary’ was being released sequentially through Wavve and YouTube, with Dailian reporting that it was drawing attention beyond the group’s fandom. The same report said many released YouTube episodes had surpassed 1 million views, and listed the release schedule as Fridays at 11 a.m. on Wavve and Saturdays at 11 a.m. on YouTube.⁶

The framing of the parenting show in available coverage is focused on observation, growth and members’ different childcare styles. Source records include other members’ reflections, such as Soobin initially feeling worried before finding the baby cute, and Huening Kai saying the experience made it hard to imagine how his parents raised him.¹ These comments were presented as program-related reactions to childcare, not as statements issued in response to a dispute.

Based on the available sources, Yeonjun’s parenting comment should be understood as part of promotional and recap coverage for ‘TXT’s Parenting Diary.’ The controversy reported by Korean outlets concerned a separate ‘Zzanbro Shin Dong-yup’ preview involving Soobin and Beomgyu, making careful attribution central to understanding the issue.
