EXO's Baekhyun Criticized For His Reaction To Hi Suhyun's 'Inkigayo' Win Over Super Junior's Kyuhyun

Hi Suhyun has earned the spotlight with their first music program win, but the name Baekhyun has populated the comment section of their video instead.

On Sunday, Hi Suhyun performed their debut single "I'm Different" on the SBS music show "Inkigayo." After the YG Entertainment group beat out SM Entertainment's Kyuhyun for the weekly trophy, some observers accused EXO's Baekhyun (one of the program hosts) for being disrespectful toward Hi Suhyun.

"Baekhyun never shows his respect towards YG artists," commented M Zaman on YouTube. "Whenever any YG artist wins the trophy he always ignores them."

"I still remember when 2NE1 won over Girls' Generation. He didn't even bow to CL even though CL bowed towards him."

On March 16, SM Entertainment's Girls' Generation and YG Entertainment's 2NE1 competed against each other with their comeback singles "Mr.Mr." and "Come Back Home," respectively. When 2NE1 won the trophy, observers criticized various members of SM Entertainment for not showing respect, including Sunny and Baekhyun.

Others, however, believe fans are reading into Baekhyun's behavior.

"I don't see what everyone means about Baekhyun," wrote viedelrey on Monday. "He honestly looks tired, and also think of all the drama SM is going through right now. I doubt he's the happiest person. And at the end, he's smiling."

Last month, Baekhyun's group EXO experienced a major scandal when Chinese member Luhan filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment to nullify his contract. This occurred only five months after EXO-M member Kris Wu filed the same type of lawsuit at the Seoul Central Court.

In July, Baekhyun experienced his own scandal when his relationship with Girls' Generation's Taeyeon was revealed the public.

"I'm very sorry that I caused pain to fans who have always been precious to me," wrote Baekhyun on his Instagram (which has since been deleted). "And I'm once again sorry that I hurt you again through the misunderstandings that have come about with this situation. I wish that our fans will no longer hurt. Although I'm really lacking, I will do my best to slowly approach all of you again."
