EXO member Baekhyun has drawn criticism after being caught smoking indoors.

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.

The exact time and location of the video are not confirmed. The person who shared the clip wrote, "EXO's Byun Baekhyun smoking indoors."

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."

ChoA, former member of the girl group Crayon Pop, has bravely shared her ongoing battle with cervical cancer and her emotional journey.

On January 28, ChoA posted a heartfelt update on her social media, explaining her struggles. "I usually laugh, talk, and live my life as usual, but there are moments when I suddenly face a reality that isn’t like before, and it gets tough," she shared.

She went on to say, "Recently, something difficult happened, and in the past, I would have had a drink with my husband to shake it off. I really miss being able to do that."

ChoA admitted that she still can’t fully believe her diagnosis. "When I face the reality I’ve been avoiding, my heart that I’ve built up breaks down," she said. "But the life I’m living now, which I’m still enjoying, is something that someone else might be wishing for. I try to gather my thoughts again with gratitude."

She also expressed hope for the future, saying, "Lately, I dream of a day five years from now when I’ll be declared cancer-free and be able to have a drink with my husband after putting the kids to bed, after all the struggles. It’s been almost two years, so I believe the day I get that clean bill of health will come soon."

ChoA married a businessman in 2021, six years older than her. In October 2023, she revealed her cervical cancer diagnosis, sharing that she had been diagnosed during a routine check-up in her first year of marriage.

Despite everything, ChoA remains hopeful, noting that the cancer was smaller than expected during surgery, and she was able to preserve her fertility—a step closer to her dream of becoming a mother.
