About Soogyu

Soogyu (also written SooByu) is the fan pairing between Tomorrow X Together's Soobin (Choi Soobin) and Beomgyu (Choi Beomgyu). Both are members of Big Hit Music's TXT, which debuted on March 4, 2019. The pairing is built on a bickering-best-friends dynamic that fans find endlessly entertaining. Soobin and Beomgyu argue, tease, and roast each other constantly on camera, but their underlying warmth and comfort with each other is equally visible. Fans describe it as two people who can only bicker like that because they genuinely trust each other. Beomgyu is often described as clingy toward Soobin — initiating physical closeness, laughing at his own jokes until Soobin has to manage the situation, and seeking Soobin's attention. Fans note that Beomgyu consistently looks to Soobin first in group settings, a small detail that recurs across years of content.

Soogyu is one of TXT's most popular in-group ships. The pairing has a strong presence on Twitter/X and TikTok, where the bickering-but-caring clips do especially well as short-form content. The ship is almost universally framed around friendship dynamics rather than romantic speculation.
