On June 18, a post titled "Baekhyun Partying At Hotel Pool With Dancers" took the internet by storm. The post, shared on Nate, quickly went viral, stirring up a flurry of reactions from netizens and fans alike.
The post featured several photos allegedly showing EXO Baekhyun swimming and partying with his dancers at a hotel pool.
These images, reportedly posted by Baekhyun's dancers, captured the idol in a relaxed and carefree setting, a stark contrast to the ongoing tension between Baekhyun and his agency, SM Entertainment.
The author of the post didn't hold back in their criticism of Baekhyun.
They highlighted the timing of his apparent revelry, noting that it comes amid a highly publicized feud with SM Entertainment.
Fans have accused Baekhyun and his EXO-CBX members of exploiting the EXO brand for personal gain, further fueling the controversy.
"Why isn't Baekhyun back from his Bangkok concert? The dancers look like they are having fun. Dancers, you're the best! Be happy, you guys are all cool and pretty. But Baekhyun isn't partying with you guys, right? Seeing how the dancers aren't back despite not having any schedules in Thailand makes me wonder if they are on a Baekhyun-tour."
The post quickly garnered a myriad of reactions from netizens, many of whom were critical of Baekhyun's actions.
Some expressed their disappointment, interpreting the photos as evidence that Baekhyun has been deceiving fans during a time when the future of EXO's promotions remains uncertain.
- "If he's partying with dancers despite not having any promotions, it means he has been deceiving fans, right? If this is true, it's really a turn-off"
- "I'm not even surprised anymore. I'm just waiting to see how far he's going to fall"
- "Baekhyun decided to just do whatever he wants now... Seriously dirty"
- "All while fans are sick to their stomach. Baekhyun and his people seem happy, lol"
- "Crazy, I'm throwing him away."
- "He's having fun playing boss with the money given to him by fans."
As the photos continue to circulate online, the incident raises questions about the impact of personal actions on public perception, especially for high-profile celebrities like Baekhyun.
The reaction from fans and netizens alike underscores the intense scrutiny that idols face and the potential fallout from actions that can be perceived as insensitive or irresponsible during tumultuous times.
Baekhyun and SM Entertainment have yet to respond to the viral post and the ensuing backlash.
