TXT Faces Fierce Backlash for “Worst Performance” at 2025 MAMA

BREAKING: TXT’s performances at the 2025 MAMA Awards have ignited a firestorm of criticism online, with many labeling it the “worst performance” of the night. The backlash comes just days after the awards ceremony, where expectations were high for the group, particularly after their solo stage on November 28, 2025.

On the opening night, Yeonjun took the spotlight, performing “Coma” and “Talk to You.” However, the following night, as the full group performed “Upside Down Kiss” and “Beautiful Strangers,” viewers expressed disappointment across social media platforms. Korean netizens described their overall stage presence as “dead last” of the event, highlighting a significant gap in performance quality compared to other artists.

A viral post on Pann stated, “TXT’s stage is seriously bad. Their MAMA performance today was dead last. With skills like that, I honestly don’t think they could ever handle choreography from groups like BTS, SEVENTEEN, or ENHYPEN.” This sentiment resonated with many fans, even those who support TXT, as they shared their discontent with the performances.

Comments flooded in, with one user stating, “I’m a TXT fan, but at this point, their bad performances just make me laugh. You’d think they’d be decent by now, but somehow this mix keeps happening.” Another added, “Felix completely dominated this year’s MAMA. Those are the kinds of people who should be getting solo stages.”

The event also saw controversies surrounding other performances, including G-Dragon‘s criticized live vocals and the backlash over Stray Kids‘ Daesang win. Fans expressed frustration over the competitive nature of the awards, with some users blaming the backlash on the performances rather than the artists themselves.

As the dust settles from this year’s MAMA Awards, the fallout continues for TXT, and the group faces a crucial moment to regain the trust and support of their fans. With the online criticism escalating, many are eager to see how TXT will respond to this significant setback.

Next steps: Observers will be watching closely for any public statements from TXT or their management, HYBE Group, as the group seeks to navigate this challenging period. Fans are left wondering whether the backlash will lead to changes in future performances and how the group will address the criticisms head-on.

This situation underscores the intense scrutiny K-pop groups face on major platforms, and as the conversation continues, the impact on TXT’s reputation and career trajectory remains to be seen.
