EXO's Baekhyun revealed that he spent nearly 50 million won (about 5 million yen) for his fans. On the 24th, a video featuring Baekhyun as a guest was released on the YouTube channel "Town Star K." On this day, Jonathan introduced Baekhyun as "a monster that trains while toying with fans' hearts." Baekhyun said, "Training is a bit... I really like to interact closely. I don't intend to. I think the four pillars were like that," expressing regret. Jonathan revealed what Baekhyun provided to fans after his comeback after 3 years and 6 months. He said, "I heard he provided one pizza per person, cup pizzas, and even gave 50,000 won (about 5,000 yen) for transportation. Just calculating the transportation costs alone is 46.5 million won (about 4.65 million yen). Isn't the appearance fee for music shows 100,000 won (about 10,000 yen)?" Baekhyun said, "I made T-money cards (transportation cards) and put them inside. It's a deficit. My debt keeps increasing," and Jonathan joked, "By the way, the activity period was only a week, right?" Baekhyun revealed, "Since it was such a long-awaited comeback, I wanted to express my feelings a little. I prepared transportation cards so that it feels like they are coming for free when they come to see me." He also talked about sasaeng fans (fans who invade celebrities' private lives), saying, "I have talked on the phone with sasaeng fans and even caught some. We played 'police and thief' a lot. I was about to go crazy because the phone kept ringing. When I answered, the other person would talk about strange things, so I said, 'I hope you get it together. Go wash your face.'" Furthermore, he shared an episode about the struggles with sasaeng fans, saying, "When I became independent, the security of my house was good. So I moved there, but they got through that too. When I caught one suspicious person, that friend's friend came out of the underground parking lot." • EXO Baekhyun, from 3 years of income to a house...
