We sincerely apologize to everyone who felt uncomfortable due to our artist Baekhyun's indoor smoking incident, which is currently circulating online.

Both Baekhyun and our agency will take greater care to ensure that such incidents do not happen again, and we promise not to disappoint fans in the future.
