On September 16, 2024, a video appeared on social media platform X showing EXO member Baekhyun smoking in a place that looked like a restaurant, sparking criticism.
In the video, Baekhyun is seen sitting in the corner of the venue, conversing with others before lighting up a cigarette. The video captures him inhaling the cigarette and exhaling the smoke. Several people, presumably staff members, were sitting with him.
It is unclear exactly when and where the video was filmed, as the uploader only commented: “EXO’s Byun Baekhyun caught smoking at home.”
Baekhyun is known to be a smoker and has been seen holding cigarettes in several photos taken with friends.
However, if Baekhyun smokes indoors, complaints could be filed, potentially resulting in a fine. EXO member DO was previously fined after being reported for smoking indoors.
The video of Baekhyun smoking at home quickly spread online, sparking widespread criticism from netizens. Comments included, “What makes celebrities think they’re privileged?” “What did the staff eating with him do to deserve this?” “Blowing smoke in someone’s face, even during a meeting, is crossing the line,” AND “His behavior is not at all surprising.”
