TXT’s Huening Kai addresses girlfriend rumours: ‘I hate lying, so I just wanted to be honest’

TXT’s Huening Kai

TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s Huening Kai has addressed the recent wave of dating rumours head-on, choosing honesty over silence.

The 22-year-old idol, who is renowned for his sincerity and serene charm, responded to online rumors about a late-night meeting with a woman with a heartfelt explanation on Weverse.

Social media was ablaze with rumors on October 8 that Huening Kai had been seen with a woman at a private location until the wee hours of the morning. Fans and bystanders alike expressed interest in and disapproval of the incident, which swiftly became a popular topic.

'I Hate Lying, So I Just Wanted to Be Honest'

In his message to MOAs (TXT’s fandom), Huening Kai wrote, “I feel really sorry towards MOAs and don’t understand why I should avoid talking about this, so I’ll tell you. I was with an acquaintance, and it was a situation where I couldn’t leave her there, so I dropped her off and returned to the dorms right away.”

He went on to explain that he met the acquaintance during the Chuseok holidays and that, since most places were closed, they found the only open private room to catch up. The singer clarified there was no romantic involvement, only a friendly meeting that was misinterpreted due to the video’s timing and context.

Huening Kai added, “I’m sorry for causing concern and worrying you guys. Since I hate lying, I just wanted to be honest about it.” He emphasised his wish to maintain transparency, assuring fans that his relationship with the acquaintance was purely platonic.

A Lesson in Trust and Transparency

Huening Kai also admitted that the controversy made him reflect deeply on the importance of trust. “I wanted to become someone that you trust, but I feel like I haven’t given you that trust, so I’m sorry,” he said, acknowledging the emotional weight of being in the public eye.

Fans applauded the singer for confronting the issue head-on rather than allowing it to fester in spite of the online commotion. Huening Kai wrapped up by restating his emphasis on personal development and his resolve to have open lines of communication with MOAs going forward.
