Imagine watching television at your home and suddenly a familiar K-Pop celebrity appears on the screen and presents the weather report. This imagination became reality when Soobin, the member of K-pop group TXT, surprised fans and viewers alike with his appearance on a national news channel as a weather man along with experienced weather forecaster Lee Hye-min to report the day’s weather.
TXT Soobin: The Weather Forecaster
In a surprising turn of events, TXT’s leader Soobin bartered his dazzling stage outfit for a sleek and chic suit as he guested as a one-time weatherman on YTN’s ‘News Square 2PM’ on July 22, 2025.
He appeared at the outdoor studio and delivered the weather report with remarkable professionalism with his smooth hosting skills at play . The forecast was centered about the recent intense heatwaves blanketing South Korea after a period of heavy monsoon rains.
TXT Soobin’s Comforting Message
Soobin appalled the viewers with his impressive hosting skills with added flair. To report the weather centering around heatwaves in an interesting way, he even held out a bottle of ice that was visibly melting to express the situation visually.

Beyond the daily temperatures, Soobin used this platform to deliver a powerful and timely message. He seized the opportunity to extend words of compassion, comfort and solidarity. He said, ’I hope you can spend some time healing with music during the summer, when both your body and mind can easily get tired.’
Further, Soobin also graced the site with a glimpse of TXT’s title track ‘Beautiful Strangers’ choreography , a timely nod to TXT’s latest release.

TXT Soobin’s Newfound Respect for News
Looking back on his experience, Soobin confessed that the live, on-site weather forecast was tougher than he had expected. “I didn’t know how challenging it is to report live weather,” he revealed, giving extra recognition to the typically underpromoted work of broadcast meteorology. But he was profoundly satisfied with having succeeded in communicating vital real-time information to the public. Such humility and commitment only endeared him further to the viewers.
