Action taken against taxi driver who tried to cheat Top HYBE Idol

TXTsay soon went viral after he revealed that he was scammed by a taxi driver during his trip to the Philippines.

In a recent vlog of his vacation uploaded on the group’s official YouTube channel, Soobin traveled to Cebu with a friend for a vacation. After arriving at the airport, Soobin checked that the fare to his accommodation should be around 300 pesos. However, things quickly took a turn.

A taxi driver initially quoted 500 pesos, and despite failed negotiations, Soobin got into the taxi. During the ride, the driver continued to raise the price, eventually demanding 1000 pesos, claiming it was due to high fuel costs.
