On September 16, a video of Baekhyun smoking inside what appears to be a restaurant started making the rounds on social media platform X.

In the video, Baekhyun is seen sitting in a corner, chatting and smoking. The footage shows him inhaling and exhaling smoke, with what looks like male and female staff members seated with him.

Baekhyun has been known to smoke, with past photos showing him with cigarettes during social gatherings.

However, indoor smoking can lead to complaints and fines, as seen with fellow EXO member D.O., who faced a fine for smoking indoors, which resulted in complaints.

Baekhyun’s indoor smoking has stirred up criticism from netizens. Comments include, "Celebrities aren’t above the law," "What about the staff dining with him?" "Smoking in someone's face is crossing the line," and "It’s not surprising given his past behavior."

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
