In an online thread, Haechan became a hot topic for allegedly "smoking" indoors during a livestream, which led to a heated debate between K-netz and NCTzens.

Here's what happened.

NCT Haechan Accused of Smoking Inside Hotel Room During Live Broadcast with Mark

On February 7, netizens gathered in an online community titled, "Hey, Haechan got caught indoor smoking again."

The author uploaded a screenshot and a Tweet, showing Mark and Haechan in their newest livestream. In the clip, Haechan was shown ducking away from the camera, and as he re-entered the frame, netizens noticed Mark's "angry" expression towards the idol.

Haechan's sudden avoidance of the frame sparked speculations from netizens, who concluded that the idol had puffed a smoke. The tweet eventually went viral on platform X (Twitter), where it gained over 12,000 retweets and 3,000 likes. OP shared a caption:

"Haechan is really smoking during NCT 127's live broadcast? Look at how shameless his expression was while staring at the member next to him, f**k. This was how long ago? And it was only discovered now? That's their dorm?"

•  "I'm not sure if he smoked there or not, but if he did, he should probably get help if he can't resist for a couple of minutes. It's a sign for him to slow down intake."
•  "I don't know about that, but if it's true, he's got to be addicted."
• "I see nothing."
• "What am I supposed to see here?
