📋 Summary

Introduction: The 'In' or 'Out' Debate

In this engaging segment, the members of the K-pop group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT)—SOOBIN, YEONJUN, BEOMGYU, TAEHYUN, and HUENINGKAI—participate in a lighthearted cultural critique segment for Esquire. The group tackles a series of lifestyle trends, foods, and fashion choices, determining whether they are "In" or "Out" based on their personal tastes and collective humor.

Culinary Preferences: Burgers and Avocado

Food acts as a central theme in their discussion. The group expresses a shared enthusiasm for fast food, specifically affirming that both "In-N-Out" and "Shake Shack" are "In." While they appreciate the quality of Shake Shack—highlighting the "peanut butter shake" as a standout item—they maintain a balanced view on other dietary trends. A notable point of contention is "avocado toast." The members debate the fruit's merits, with some noting it is a "plant-based protein" beneficial for diets, while others criticize its lack of distinct flavor, humorously comparing the experience of eating it to "eating a healthy brain."

Horror Movie Tropes and Personalities

Turning to pop culture, the members discuss their roles in a hypothetical horror movie scenario. They jokingly analyze who would survive and who would perish. The consensus leans toward a common trope where specific characters, like the one who "doesn't cause a lot of trouble" but survives while others die, represent the "main character" archetype. TAEHYUN and BEOMGYU engage in playful banter about who would be the first to go, with the group suggesting that those with "good hair" or those who "need it" might face an early demise, ultimately dying with a "hard carry" in the final act.

Fashion Choices: Bucket Hats and Leather Jackets

The members also dive into fashion, specifically "bucket hats" and "leather jackets." While bucket hats are debated as a practical way to manage "colorful" hair colors when on vacation, they remain a divisive accessory. Leather jackets trigger a discussion about personal comfort versus style; while the group agrees leather jackets are objectively "cool," some members admit to feeling "embarrassed" or physically "itchy" when wearing high-fashion, statement pieces, preferring the ultimate comfort of "sweatpants" instead.

Digital Communication and Final Reflections

Finally, the conversation touches on digital habits, specifically the use of "emoticons." While some members admit to using them frequently to avoid the effort of typing, others find them less essential in their personal communication. The group concludes the session with a lighthearted game, attempting to balance their "In" or "Out" votes to a specific ratio, demonstrating their camaraderie. The segment serves as a fun, candid look into the personalities of the TXT members, showcasing their ability to find humor in both mundane daily choices and deeper existential questions about fame and public perception.
