• "He showed evidence" EXO's D.O. was reportedly charged for smoking indoors, based on a K-Netizen who reported him

    "Mr. D.O has promised to follow the law in the future, especially since he is a public figure."


    A K-Netizen says that EXO's D.O. was recently fined for smoking inside.

    Last month, Korean netizens were upset with D.O. after a video clip that was said to show the singer smoking went viral on the internet.

    D.O. was reportedly seen blowing smoke out of his nose while EXO member Baekhyun practiced in front of a video in the dressing room of a music show.

    A month later, a K-Netizen says that they told the idol's agency that he was smoking inside, which led to the idol getting a fine.

    On September 5, someone shared an unidentified forum post that said, "I reported Do Kyungsoo (EXO's D.O.) for smoking indoors back in August."

    The OP put a screenshot of a statement from the Mapo-gu Public Health Center into the post. In the report, the health center said that D.O. was fined because he couldn't prove that the e-cigarette he used inside was nicotine-free. This was because of the National Health Promotion Act.

    "How We Fixed The Problem"

    Hello, and thank you for caring about making your state better as a whole. We're glad you told us about the problem with smoking indoors at 267 Sungam-ro (MBC Headquarters), and we've taken the following steps to fix it.
    The National Health Promotion Act (9-4-16) says that smoking isn't allowed in any business, workplace, or mixed-use building that is more than 1,000 square meters. We found that Mr. Do [Censored Name] broke the law when he smoked inside the building of the radio station. Mr. Do's management label told us that he used an e-cigarette that didn't have nicotine. But they couldn't be sure that the goods being used didn't have nicotine. So, Mr. Do was charged the right amount. Also, we'd like to let you know that Mr. Do has promised to follow the law from now on, especially since he is a public person.
    Your staff at the Mapo-gu Public Health Center will keep working hard to teach the people in the province about the dangers of smoking and encourage them to stop.
    Report was taken care of by the Department of Health Care at the Mapo-gu Public Health Center.

    The Mapo-gu Public Health Center's website says that the fine can go up to 100,000 KRW, which is about $75.20 USD. About this supposed fine, SM Entertainment hasn't said anything.

  • Lee Min Ho Shares the Hilarious Story Behind His Famous Baeksang Fall—The One Thing He’ll Never Forget!

    Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

    On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

    The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

    Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

    He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

    Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

    Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

    It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
