A third echoed similar sentiments and added, "Smoking is injurious to health but not a CRIME ?. Let him do whatever he wants to do with his money." He has all the rights to live his life on his own terms. Unless it's something illegal or harming someone else. Just mind your own fucking business.

"Some of y'all need to chill out!" He isn't the first male, Korean, or actor to smoke, tbh. Also, he isn't a chain smoker, or else we would've spotted him with a cigarette more often. I don't like smoking either, but an adult smoking isn't a crime that we need to call out. It's not drugs," another outraged fan posted.
