Why Hueningkai is a musical prodigy and TXT's Diamond Maknae

There is no doubt that TOMORROW x TOGETHER is one of the most well-rounded groups of their generation. Each of the members excels not only in skills such as dancing, singing, rapping, composing, and producing but also in other fields as well. Their youngest, Hueningkai, is proof of how outstanding the group is, not only as a team but also individually. 

Aside from being a great dancer, vocalist, and even rapper, Hueningkai has shown his musical excellence ever since he was a child. He has a wide range of musical instruments which he can play, including drums, guitar, piano, and flute. During their debut year, in the documentary "ONE DREAM TXT," which was a behind-the-scenes look at the group during their showcase tour in the United States, Hueningkai was seen playing the piano with the piece "All of Me" by Jon Schmidt. 

In multiple instances, seen through TXT's behind-the-scene content, T:TIME, Hueningkai was often seen playing the piano, proving the nickname "musical prodigy," given by the fans due to his musical aptitude. You can see more of his so-called mini recitals on their official YouTube Channel.

The young musical prodigy not only stole hearts among MOAs but went viral among other fandoms as well on Twitter. This was due to the legendary but spontaneous V Live moment in which he played Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata 3rd Movement" on the piano with a single hand while casually talking about Pikachu stickers and reading live comments on the stream as if playing the piano was no big deal at all. As of the moment, this clip alone has a total of 1.2 million views, aside from other reposts on other media sites.

This was not the first time he had shown his abilities during a V Live. In a separate live, he has played various pieces on the piano, including TXT's song, "Nap of the Star." When a MOA commented that he could name this piano V Live into a series, he said that he had planned to do a live musical series similar to his Yeonjun hyung's "The Essence of Dance." With his interest in going through a series of playing not only the piano but also other musical instruments, a MOA suggested "Hue-zart's Classic of Musical Instruments," which was in reference to the prolific and influential composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, to which he earned his liking.

His talent in music did not only shine through his exemplary ability at playing various musical instruments but also through his active participation in their group's discography. He is also one of the youngest idols credited in KOMCA, receiving his first KOMCA credit at the age of 17 (international age) after being credited as lyricist for one of their first studio album's tracks in 2019.

Here are TXT's songs in which Hueningkai has participated as a lyricist or composer that you should definitely listen to!

Here are the songs Hueningkai has participated in! He, alongside TXT members, are recently involved, particularly in their first concert tour, ACT: Lovesick. The concert started in Seoul last July 2, 2022, held in the Jamsil Indoor Stadium. They also went on the other concert legs, such as the North American leg and the Asian leg afterward. Their last concert for this tour will be held in Manila from October 27-28, 2022, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena or much known as MOA Arena.

During his recent live with Yeonjun last October 20, 2022, they have also teased their next comeback, with Hueningkai posting a photo of him recording at Weverse. Continue supporting the members and cheer for their upcoming projects!
