On December 22 at 6 PM KST, TXT officially shared the cover video and audio on their SNS and SoundCloud channels. The original song appeared on Justin Bieber’s 2011 Christmas album Under the Mistletoe and expresses a longing for wishes to come true with a loved one.
Hueningkai’s rendition preserves the song’s warm atmosphere while adding his unique interpretation. His soft and sweet vocal tone gently conveys a heartfelt message to a loved one, elevating the song’s romantic excitement. The combination of the delicate melody and emotional subtlety deeply captivates listeners.
The accompanying video highlights Hueningkai’s natural everyday moments, contrasting joyful times with his pet cat at home with solitary, reflective moments during the holiday season. The camera work, following the cat’s gaze, enhances the immersive atmosphere, while Hueningkai’s affectionate look toward his pet melts viewers’ hearts. The video closes with Hueningkai waking from the sound of his cat meowing outside, smiling warmly, leaving viewers with a cozy, tender feeling.
Through his agency BigHit Music, Huening Kai shared, “Fans have been waiting for my cover, so I wanted to give them a gift fitting for the year-end. The lyrics express the message I wanted to share, so I chose this song. I hope MOA enjoys ‘Only Thing I Ever Get For Christmas’ and has a happy holiday season.”
Beside that, Hueningkai became the fifth member of TXT to open a personal Instagram account.
For his first post, Hueningkai uploaded a set of photos with the caption, “Angel has arrived.”
Meanwhile, TXT continues to display their year-end prowess as they shuttle between Korea and Japan.
