Netizens have come to EXO Baekhyun's defense following the release of a certain photo.

On various online platforms, netizens are discussing the recent controversy surrounding EXO member Baekhyun, who was photographed with a pack of cigarettes in front of him in a recent Instagram post by an acquaintance.

In the picture, Baekhyun is seen posing with the person who uploaded the photo, believed to be a staff member.

Shortly after the photo surfaced, the acquaintance deleted it and re-uploaded it from an angle that concealed the cigarettes.

However, some eager fans had already shared the original photo on social media, sparking a heated debate about Baekhyun's alleged smoking habit.

One fan captioned the photo with a question: "Baekhyun~ Do you smoke? We didn't expect this from you. Can you explain?"

But not all reactions were critical. Many fans defended Baekhyun's right to smoke, citing his age and privacy.

Fans commented, "Baekhyun is over thirty. Let him smoke, for heaven's sake," echoing similar sentiments seen on other online platforms where netizens encouraged people to "leave Baekhyun alone."

Here are some of the comments:

"It's not easy being an idol. Smoking is a personal choice."

"Being a celebrity in Korea is a tough job."

"The photo doesn't even show him smoking, just a packet."

"As adults, don't we all have the freedom to choose whether to smoke or not?"

"Baekhyun, it's okay! Smoking isn't great, but it's his private life."

"Why is this such a big deal?"

"Don't regular people smoke too?"

"Why are people so sensitive about this?"

"Why does he need to explain? Lol."

"Do they need permission to smoke? Should they ask permission to use the bathroom too?"

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
