Some believe the joke was made at the wrong time.

NCT DREAM are currently on their The Dream Show 3: DREAM()SCAPE TOURThe group recently kicked off the U.S. leg of their tour, starting with a show in Los Angeles and a final date in Chicago before continuing on to Europe.
As part of their interactions with fans, the group read signs during the show, which means there were more than you would typically see at a concert. Fans usually have funny or thoughtful messages for the group, which elicit reactions from the members as they read them.
However, a fan’s NSFW message for Little James at the beginning of the tour sparked a debate.

Another sign has sparked negativity online, this time for highlighting one of the Haechanprevious scandals.
Earlier this year, Haechan was seen vaping on the back in a video shared by NCT’s official account. While smoking is a personal choice, there are laws that prohibit it from being done indoors, and Haechan was fined for doing so.
At the Washington DC concert, fans couldn’t help but notice a specific sign that was displayed on the screen. Originally, it was a sign of a fan asking the members to take off their shirts, but then it was flipped over to show a message that read “Haechan, can I try your vaporizer?.”

Usually, NCTzens are the first to make jokes about their favorite idols being caught smoking, but due to the criticism they received, some felt this was in bad taste.
yeah it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t seem like a big deal it’s just rude and unnecessary and that part of the show is for sweet messages and this was just… inappropriate? Nctzens your humor is not funny!!!!

“take off your shirt” and “can you take a hit from your vape?” Are you dead? Don’t you get the fact that Haechan has said multiple times that he doesn’t like showing his belly? And the vape thing is so damn stupid. Be TF for real. https://t.co/BuV6Q05mK4 photo.twitter.com/B7FZq3dm8e

the person who intentionally flips his sign to show the “haechan can i hit your vape” sign on the big screen is so infuriating… like they actually do this for fun at hc’s expense and don’t care when other people use it against hc/make hc the butt of the joke https://t.co/Xfv9HOg3uO

On the other hand, some felt that the backlash was excessive, as the sign was meant as a joke.
