Eris and netizens have divided opinions over a video of EXO D.O. where he was seen allegedly smoking a vape. What happened?
EXO D.O. Smoking? Here's What Happened
On August 3, EXO, who dropped their seventh studio album "EXIST" on July 10, posted the behind-the-scenes clips during their music broadcast appearance on YouTube channel.
In the video, the members were seen preparing for their comeback stage featuring the title track, "Cream Soda." The clip also showed the behind-the-scenes of their dance challenge videos, with various artists including Sandara Park, NCT 127 Jungwoo, ZEROBASEONE (ZB1), and TREASURE (T5).
Following its upload, the vlog drew attention from various fandoms, commemorating the interaction between the aforementioned idols.
OP Suffers Backlash After Posting Video, Eris Insist EXO D.O. Was Using Humidifier
After the incident, EXO's official channel immediately re-uploaded the video and cut out the part where D.O. was seen exhaling steam. The OP on Twitter also deleted their post. However, a lot of other netters already saved the clip by then, and is still circulating online.
Due to this, the original uploader is earning massive backlash from EXO-Ls, criticizing them for bringing attention to that certain part by posting and editing it.
obviously i wouldn't post anything if it came from a shady source but it was on their official account so i didn't really expect it would be there

I'm not failing to see the issue I'm just defending myself. I zoomed in because another group I love is on the TV RIGHT ABOVE HIM. Like I said, I thought he was just standing there as I posted it. I truly didn't notice what exactly he was doing and it wasn't just me. https://t.co/XeFssFmSc0

In the fan's defense, they didn't notice it because they were so invested in watching the ODD EYE CIRCLE performing. The original caption, "he was feeling it," wasn't meant for the vape as well but for the song that was playing.
Amid the hate they are receiving, there are also Eris who are defending the OP and asked what's wrong about an adult smoking.
On the flip side, other fans questioned netizens if it was indeed a vape since it wasn't clear, suggesting that it could be a handheld humidifier commonly used by vocalists for greater and clearer performance.
