[All] Baekhyun's agency apologizes about Smoking Indoors (+Korean Netizen Reaction)

It is becoming an issue because someone filmed EXO Baekhyun smoking indoors and distributed it on social media.

The video clearly shows Baekhyun exhaling smoke from an electronic cigarette.

Baekhyun's agency, INB100, immediately released an official statement and said, "We sincerely apologize to everyone who felt uncomfortable regarding Baekhyun's indoor smoking."

Regarding the fact that Macau is a place where bringing in electronic cigarettes is prohibited, they said, "At the time, Baekhyun and our staff were not at all aware that Macau was a place where bringing in electronic cigarettes was prohibited." 

They added, "While eating with the staff after the performance, the conversation grew. “I used e-cigarettes unconsciously,” they said.

Recently, not long after EXO D.O.'s indoor smoking became controversial, Baekhyun's indoor smoking controversy arose, and fans were shocked.

In relation to this, we introduce the reactions of Korean netizens.

1) But these days, there have been a lot of issues with SM male idols, including Do Kyung-soo, smoking indoors, so I'm not angry anymore and I don't even think about it.

2) When I look at celebrities who have been caught smoking indoors, I don't understand why the people around them didn't stop them. How long have you been ignoring something like that before you do something like that? I think some people look at them because they are celebrities. I really don’t like the sense of celebrity privilege.
