However, it appears he realized what his message looked like for international fans and backtracked. It turns out he was not talking about vapes; instead, he was talking about the Japanese fashion brand BAPE, also known as A Bathing Ape. His stress was apparent; he even stated he should just say it in English!

The idol stressed that vape means something else, and that was not his intended meaning. He also added that he was afraid international ATINYs may misunderstand the situation. Good thing he was quick to clear the air!

Some may be skeptical about the idol's mistake, but this misunderstanding is common for those new to the Korean language. The confusion is due to the fact that the Korean language does not have a separate letter for the consonants B and V. That means in Korea, vape and BAPE are spelled the same way: 베이프. Because of this, the idol's message was mistranslated by Papago.

Recently, several K-pop idols have been blasted for vaping. Previously, NCT member Haechan had to pay a fine after he was caught smoking indoors with a vape (also known as e-cigarettes). Several members of fromis_9 have also been spotted with vape fluids in photos and videos.

Vapes are frowned upon, especially among idols, due to the harmful effects they have on the lungs and brain. It can even cause heart disease! As idols rely heavily on their voice and being able to perform on stage, the effects of vaping are detrimental.

Thankfully, ATINYs can rest assured that the idol is not interested in vaping. The thing he does have a passion for? Fashion!
