ZEROBASEONE Sung Hanbin Draws Flak From Taeyeon and Baekhyun Fans

However, instead of using the original song by Taeyeon as the background for his cover, Sung Hanbin used an "AI cover" of the song "To.X," with Baekhyun from EXO singing it.

This upset both Baekhyun and Taeyeon's fans, with many criticizing Sung Hanbin for this choice.

Taeyeon's song "To.X" is about moving on from an ex-lover, and Taeyeon and Baekhyun used to date. Therefore, using Baekhyun's AI cover is considered highly insensitive for both the artists and their fans.

Sung Hanbin's choice to involve Baekhyun in his cover has sparked discussions about Taeyeon and Baekhyun's past relationship, which has upset fans.
