EXO’s Baekhyun apologizes for smoking indoors in Macau; after being spotted in the viral clip

Baekhyun of EXO is embroiled in a controversy when a video showing him smoking indoors in Macau went viral. Following public discussion about the incident, the singer—who is renowned for both his amazing singing and captivating personality—quickly apologized through his agency, INB100.

Fans and the general public were alarmed when images and videos of Baekhyun smoking indoors appeared on several internet forums, sparking the uproar. In Macau, smoking is not permitted indoors in a lot of public areas, thus the occurrence made people wonder if the idol was aware of the rules.

Baekhyun’s agency, INB100 apologized to everyone impacted by the situation and conveyed regret in their statement. They admitted that Baekhyun was not aware of Macau’s smoking ban and gave an explanation of the circumstances, pointing out that the singer had been having dinner with employees following his performance.

The INB100’s statement read:

“Hello, this is INB100.

We sincerely apologize to everyone who felt uncomfortable due to our artist Baekhyun’s indoor smoking incident, which is currently circulating online.

At the time, neither Baekhyun nor our staff were aware that e-cigarettes are prohibited in Macau. While dining with staff after the Macau concert, Baekhyun unconsciously used an e-cigarette as the conversation progressed.

Baekhyun deeply regrets his careless behavior and apologizes sincerely to all the fans he has disappointed.

Both Baekhyun and our agency will take greater care to ensure that such incidents do not happen again, and we promise not to disappoint fans in the future.

We will continue to do our best to show a more mature side of Baekhyun.

Once again, we sincerely apologize for causing concern and discomfort to many. We are truly sorry.”

In addition, Baekhyun’s regret for his acts and his commitment to making sure that such occurrences don’t happen again were highlighted in the statement. In the future, Baekhyun and his agency pledged to be more conscientious and dedicated to projecting a more responsible and grown-up image.
