Recently, EXO’s Baekhyun has been embroiled in controversy after his remarks towards the popular Dubai chewy cookie trend.
In a recent message to fans on Bubble, he shared his honest opinion on the dessert.
Have you seen the Dubai chewy cookie mukbang? It doesn’t look good. I find it weird. It’s 500 calories for that one small piece! Wouldn’t it be better to eat a cup of ramen instead of that? And it’s so expensive. It’s the price of one bowl of rice soup. The ingredients to make it don’t seem that expensive…
— Baekhyun
Seeing his remarks, an online community post shared his merchandise prices and calculated the cost to make one, to fire back at his claims.
Three set photo card set (random) – 6000 KRW ($~4.06 USD)
Reusable bag- 17,000 KRW ($~11.50 USD)
After calculating the cost to make it, they revealed that it costs 1,380 KRW (about 93 cents) to make the reusable bag and 294.6 KRW (about 30 cents) for three photo cards.
Netizens agreed it was a shame that he continued to make hasty remarks.
- “It’s a shame that Baekhyun makes careless remarks often.”
- “Something he didn’t really have to say.”
- “Why is he still making these careless mistakes even after many years since his debut…”
- “This is why celebrities need to be careful as to what they say. If they say something wrong, they get double the hate.”
