SM Entertainment has responded to rumors EXO's Chanyeol threatened a female driver.

On April 27, motorcycle influencer Jang Si Nae featured as a guest on Channel S to tell her story about a famous idol who threatened her and cursed her out while she was on the way to her job. She expressed, "I was riding my scooter to work one day, and a man in a foreign car behind me was driving dangerously. He came quickly at me from behind, and I avoided him. However, he then stuck his middle finger at me. I followed him to get his license plate, but he stopped at a traffic light."

She continued, "I was curious why he did so, and I knocked on his window to ask. He covered his face, and then kept flipping me off. He turned out to be an idol. He was such a famous idol. I think I'd be buried the moment his name comes out of my mouth."

Jang Si Nae's vlog also backed up her statement about a male driver putting his middle finger up at her. However, it's difficult to see who's in the footage.

Following rumors the idol in question is Chanyeol due to the car brand and hand shape, SM Entertainment officially responded to the speculation, denying the rumors. The label stated, "The person in the video is not Chanyeol. The vehicle in question is different than Chanyeol's personal car. We'll take strong legal measures against the spread of misinformation."
