TXT Soobin and Lee Young-ji represented the mind of “people who do not reply other people’s messages”.
On June 24th, Lee Young-ji met Soobin as the first guest in a video released on the YouTube channel “Although there is nothing much prepared”.
Lee Young-ji asked about the psychology of not replying, mentioning that Soobin is known for not replying. Prior to that, Lee Young-ji said she was also that type of person and revealed the reason why she did not reply. She explained, “Instead of making an awkward vibe with my last reply, it’s better for that person to end the conversation.”
Soobin went on to say, “When you look at the phone, there is an alarm on top. When something like ‘Hey Soobin, I saw you during lunch time’ pops up, I already know the content. So I am not curious anymore. Since I am watching something right now, I plan to reply after this. But after watching several videos, a day passed and it feels bad to reply that.”
Lee Young-ji sympathized with his words and caused laughter by saying, “Your social life must be a disaster right now, just like me.” Soobin added, “I don’t have many friends. During vacation, I felt like going out for a long time. So I contacted my friend and he said ‘I have a class so I can’t’. I don’t have anyone else to go with, so I just watched animation in my house.”
This scene gained sympathy from online communities and SNS. Eventually, an argument broke out. Some people viewed it negatively, such as opinions that they were frustrated by contact problems due to people with this tendency, and that they replied quickly only when they felt comfortable. Besides, there were also opinions that it was okay because types who did not care deeply about each other’s frequency of contact remained, and that they agreed because it was a very accurate point.
