Afterward, fans were treated to exclusive behind-the-scenes photos of several members, showing off their handsome visuals.

Out of all the pictures, one photo of NCT’s leader Taeyong stood out to fans for another reason.

In the photo, Taeyong is seated while playing on his phone, with something else in his hand. Eagle-eyed fans quickly realized the mysterious item appeared to be a vape!

A vape similar to the alleged one Taeyong is holding.

Since this is not the first time an NCT member has been revealed to smoke, fans immediately found the situation hilarious. The fact that one of Japan’s most prominent media organizations posted it especially stood out.

Fans also found irony at the moment — in a now-viral clip, Taeyong jokingly showed Johnny a no-vaping sign in an airport. Johnny previously posted photos that fans believe exposed his own vape.
