Baekhyun EXO held a live Instagram broadcast on Friday (26/3) where he discussed plans for military service. Lay apparently watched and commented on this broadcast, and his comments drew attention.
In his live broadcast, Baekhyun personally announced to fans that he will be enlisting for mandatory military service in April. He made this sudden announcement with a heavy heart because he knew fans would be sad to hear it.
Despite the fact that it was time for Baekhyun to undergo his mandatory military service, many fans were still surprised to hear the news. While some fans slowly processed this announcement, others noticed that Lay was listening too.
Hearing Baekhyun's announcement, Lay comforted Baekhyun by commenting, "Don't be sad." Then in another comment, the singer from China also said, "Yah Baekhyun, you gained weight."
This second comment left some fans a little confused. Some wondered when Lay and Baekhyun last met, considering that the owner of the real name Zhang Yixing was more active in China, especially after the pandemic.
"It's random kekeke (comments)," commented netizens. "It's very difficult to say at this point whether (Lay) is actually a fellow member, or whether he's just a rather close friend of kekekeke from abroad," said another netizen.
"You spelled it wrong ... Have you forgotten Korean ..." said the netizen. "Was it 5 years ago since 'Monster' was really the last time you met? Of course Baekhyun's (weight) was like 58 kg at that time but ..." said another.
"If you guys are still that close to be joking ... can you promote as EXO at least once ..." hope netizens. "If he was in China, I don't think he could take the members when they enlisted this time," another commented. "Wait ... are they actually still close enough?" added another. (wk / dewi)
