SM Entertainment has issued an official statement of apology over recent footage of NCT member Haechan smoking an e-cigarette indoors.
On January 11 KST, a representative of SM Entertainment relayed, "After the release of NCT 127's latest behind the scenes practice video content on January 10, we confirmed that Haechan was seen smoking an e-cigarette indoors. Today, we received notice of a penalty charged for this violation of smoking laws from the local health center, and so we intend on paying the fine."
The representative continued, "We would like to deeply apologize for causing many people concerns with such careless actions. We will take precautions so that the same mistake does not happen again."
Earlier, footage of Haechan smoking an e-cigarette in a practice room at SM Entertainment stirred up a debate on online communities.
Meanwhile, Haechan recently announced a temporary hiatus from promotions after being diagnosed with tonsillitis.

I see this a lot among young people and it is so frustrating. I do not give a crap if you want to ruin your health, but forcing others to breathe your smoke too? How selfish.
