THIS Male Idol's Smoking Clip Resurfaces—And K-pop Fans Are Loving His 'IDGAF' Behavior 

K-pop idols often end up apologizing after being caught vaping. But it's not the case for THIS male idol, who was instead lauded for smoking openly.

On X, JX's Kim Jaejoong became a hot topic online after his past video where he was smoking resurfaced. The clip was taken from his vlog, "Travel Buddies Ep. 3," where he went to Argentina and visited a cigar bar.

When this video reached the K-pop community's feed, they raised the topic of the extreme backlash an idol will meet if caught vaping or smoking. If they are criticized for doing it secretly, they can't imagine the amount of hate they would get for showing it publicly.

However, this is not the case for Jaejoong. Instead, his fans are praising his "IDGAF" behavior. According to them, being called out for smoking is just a small thing compared to what he underwent in the past.

The celebrity's heartbreaking past is not a secret in the K-pop industry. Ultimately, Jaejoong's power and influence enabled him to overcome the lawsuit against the K-pop giant, SM Entertainment.

Now, he's one of the idols to have returned to national broadcast and music shows after being blacklisted in major entertainment companies.

Given that Jaejoong is still relevant to this day is evidence of his undisputable influence that no one can take away with just a simple smoking controversy.

Here are some of the comments from X:
