In 2021, singer Lim Young-woong was also caught smoking indoors, sparking controversy.
At that time, Lim Young-woong smoked in the waiting room, and the agency acknowledged it and apologized.
At that time, Lim Young-woong's agency said, `I should have given you a quick guide, but the broadcast shooting ended early this morning, so it took time to check the situation. In order to reduce e-cigarettes, liquid that does not contain nicotine has been used in parallel. I used liquid without nicotine as I thought it was not a cigarette", he explained.
Afterwards, Lim Young-woong also said on his official fan cafe, "'I've come to hurt and disappoint my fans a lot.'"I should have been responsible for every moment, but I think I wasn't good enough. I am truly sorry to have caused so much trouble over this incident", he apologized.
Lim Young-woong added, `I will try to reflect on myself and become a mature person using today as a lesson.'

In January, Ji Chang-wook was shown smoking a liquid e-cigarette during rehearsals in JTBC 'Welcome to Samdali'Making Video.
In particular, he was even more controversial because he was smoking in front of actress Shin Hye-sun during rehearsals.
In the end, Ji Chang-wook's agency expressed its official position, saying, `We apologize to everyone who felt uncomfortable with the actions of actor Ji Chang-wook in the drama making content.'
The agency said "Among the contents, the scene of actor Ji Chang-wook using e-cigarettes indoors was included. We have caused inconvenience to those who see it as an inappropriate scene " and are sorry for disappointing many people, recognizing that actor Ji Chang-wook is also an inappropriate behavior. Once again, I deeply apologize to those who came into contact with the content, the staff on the site, the performers, and the viewers who loved the work.
In addition, EXO's D.O., Minoy, NCT's Haechan, and Jang Hang-joon have been criticized for indoor smoking, but netizens are disappointed by the continued indoor smoking stars.
Don't netizens have the ability to learn?", "There must be no sense of responsibility, why do you keep repeating yourself?", "Is there no sense of responsibility at all because stars are not enough to show examples?"
