Because of the recent hacking incidents, Eris couldn't help but worry that Baekhyun's Instagram account might also have been hacked.

SM Entertainment was soon contacted by media outlets for a response about the matter. The company then released a statement clarifying that Baekhyun isn't a victim of hacking. Rather, he had cleared his feed himself because he wanted to reorganize it after his military discharge.
