After Baekhyun's concerts on June 15 and 16 in Bangkok as part of his Asia tour, controversy and speculation arose among fans and netizens. Following the event, his backup dancers were spotted enjoying a relaxing time at a resort in Bangkok, which is no big deal on the surface, but netizens are angered over a potential "false narrative" being portrayed. Some also alleged that Baekhyun can be spotted in the photos, but that is highly speculative at best and hasn't been verified.
This incident gained traction on social media, with several fans expressing their displeasure. The timing is particularly sensitive due to the ongoing dispute between EXO-CBX (Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin) and SM Entertainment. The "false narrative" accusations arose after Baekhyun sent a message to fans via the Bubble app, which some interpreted as an attempt to garner sympathy amidst the feud. Netizens argue that if Baekhyun is indeed trying to present himself as a victim, it seems contradictory for him to be apparently partying amid the conflict.
One netizen shared the photos taken from social media and wrote, "Baekhyun's Bangkok concert is over, so why haven't they returned yet? The dancers seem to be having fun in the water~ The dancers are the best!!! Stay happy ^^ You all look so beautiful and cool.
But Baekhyun... who caused this current (feud) situation, isn't playing in the water with them, right? Haha. There are no more scheduled events, so are the dancers not coming back because it's Baekhyun's tour?"
Korean netizens on Nate Pann commented:
"But if he's created this situation and is hanging out in Bangkok with the dancers without any scheduled activities, isn't that total deceit??? If it's true, it's really disappointing..."
"It's not even surprising anymore. I am just curious how low he can go."
"So Baekhyun has decided to just go all out now, huh? Disgusting, really."
"Fans are suffering right now, but why do Baekhyun's people look so happy?"
"I'm going to drop out of the fandom."
"He already earned billions so he must have it good."
"There may be some who aren't dancers, but many have gained a positive image through dance programs. However, what you see isn't everything... Just like celebrities, many dancers work hard to manage their image, and behind the scenes, many of them send DMs trying to hook up with regular people. You shouldn't trust them."
On the other hand, some supportive fans commented:
"I don't think it's a problem. I think they can take some time off while they're overseas."
"Celebrities can't take a break? People are trying so hard to bring him down."
"I don't think this is something to be mad over."
