While fans love seeing their favorite groups interact, they also enjoy seeing them meet up with friends during their downtime.

James “Tiny” Kim, friend to many K-Celebs, has shared plenty of content on social media with various EXO members throughout the years, most recently going viral on TikTok for his videos with members of EXO.

On September 7, Tiny shared photos of himself eating with different members of EXO as part of a throwback post. The first photo showed Tiny along with Chanyeol and Kai, who are sitting across from him.

Baekhyun was seated next to him and seen in the second picture. Though Baekhyun’s no make-up look was stunning, fans couldn’t help but notice something else in the photo.

On Baekhyun’s right side, placed on the table are what appears to be a pack of cigarettes.

Tiny has since reposted the photo with the cigarettes cropped out, but the uncropped picture was spread on X (formerly Twitter).

Fans have defended the artist, first, by pointing out that the cigarettes may belong to Tiny, who has been seen smoking on his account.

Other fans have stated that Baekhyun is an adult and can choose to smoke if he wishes, even citing the recent issues with SM Entertainment as a reason for his potential smoking.

Recently, EXO member D.O. was allegedly fined for smoking indoors, which you can read more about below.
