TXT's Beomgyu Blasts KakaoTalk's "Terrible" Redesign, Echoing User Outrage

Just last week, on September 28, 2025, TXT member Beomgyu sparked a wave of discussion online after candidly sharing his thoughts on KakaoTalk's latest large-scale update. During a live chat with fans on the Weverse platform, the singer did not hold back as he questioned the way the popular messaging app rolls out updates.

Beomgyu made it clear that he is deeply frustrated with the sudden changes, admitting, "I really hate when things suddenly change, and this update is just too much for me." He went on to criticize the update, stating, "Honestly, it's really terrible. If you're going to force an update, at least let us go back to the previous version." The idol's honest reaction instantly resonated with KakaoTalk users who feel overwhelmed by the platform's frequent redesigns.

While Beomgyu acknowledged that updates can bring value, he argued that in this case, the changes have only made the app harder to use and added unnecessary features. His point about the new profile wall feature, which he said feels intrusive rather than helpful, struck a chord with many users who shared similar sentiments online.

Despite his strong criticism, Beomgyu wrapped up his comments with a note of gratitude, saying, "I still think it's cool that the developers keep creating new things for users. Thank you for your hard work." This balanced approach earned him praise from fans for handling the situation thoughtfully.
