Avril Lavigne and ‘Sk8r Boi’ Kai of TXT interact, shocked fans ask 'what if a collab'
If the internet needs any more proof that K-pop has indeed gone global, we have the most bizarre interaction that has TXT fans reeling. Certified ‘Sk8r Boi’ fan Huening Kai of the boy group TXT shared a selfie of him with his colorful and quirky skateboard on Twitter on February 17 with the caption ‘He was a ‘Sk8r Boi’ referencing Avril Lavigne’s iconic song. While fans were hyping it up and fangirling/boying over the selfie, many pointed out that Avril herself had noticed it.
A day later, on February 18, Avril Lavigne retweeted the selfie with the ‘rock on’ hand gesture emoji. Shocked fans immediately tagged TXT’s Twitter in hopes that Kai sees the punk rockstar’s response. Others felt that it was more than a coincidence and that something is in the works like a collaboration. It should be noted that Avril’s boyfriend, Mod Sun has worked with the K-pop group on the remix of their 2021 lead single ‘0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You)’.

Avril retweets TXT Kai’s selfie
In late 2021, Avril had also shared that she was going all out on the 20th anniversary of her 2002 song ‘Sk8r Boi’. The singer was planning on turning the story of her viral song into a movie and was in the process of developing it. Well, fans have gone as far as to wonder if TXT’s Kai will even be featured in the film in terms of an OST (original soundtrack) or acting. Whichever it is, MOAs (TXT’s fandom) are over the moon.
‘Has to be a collab’
One fan commented, “My past and present interacting this is insane.” Another MOA tweeted, “Guys txt recently worked with modsun this HAS TO BE A COLLAB.” One joked, “I heard from a k-moa that when huening kai was 14 he saw a girl crying bc she couldn't hit high notes. huening kai helped the girl regain her confidence and taught her how to do it. that girl was avril lavigne. this is inspiring, thank you huening kai.” One MOA wondered, “AVRIL LAVIGNE SUNBAENIM 😭😭😭😭😭 IS THIS A COLLAB? COVER? OR WHAAATTTT.”
