Taehyun

Kang Taehyun (강태현) is one of the sharpest technical singers in fourth-generation K-pop, anchoring TXT with a bright upper register, crisp phrasing, and a steadily growing writing and collaboration profile. Introduced through BigHit Music and scaled globally under HYBE, he debuted with TXT on March 4, 2019 and quickly became central to the group's live identity. Taehyun's lane inside the group has always been precision. He co-wrote TXT's "Maze in the Mirror" in 2020, then widened his resume with outside features and OST work that showed how well his tone holds outside the standard idol-title-track frame. That run includes Salem Ilese and Alan Walker's "PS5," Tomohisa Yamashita's "Perfect Storm," "Can't Stop" for Brewing Love, and "Surfing in the Moonlight" for Netflix's Melo Movie. His crossover value is also translating into brand work. In February 2026, Taehyun became the first male global ambassador for Centellian24, adding skincare-market weight to a profile already shaped by touring scale, songwriting growth, and a fanbase that tracks both performance detail and personality with unusual intensity.
