Cube Entertainment responds to Kikwang’s smoking pictures

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

B2ST’s Lee Kikwang has been caught up in a smoking controversy.
On July 19th, photos were posted online with the caption, “Photos of Lee Kikwang smoking. Real or not?“. Though the photo quality makes it difficult to determine 100% whether or not the man seen is truly Kikwang, netizens have had a field day because of the topic’s title alone.
Kikwang’s agency, Cube Entertainment, responded to the controversy with, “We’re not sure whether it is Kikwang in the picture. Even if it is, he is of legal age to smoke in Korea, so we fail to see the issue.”
Quite frankly, we’re more impressed with the fact that Cube Entertainment released such a bold, yet true statement about the issue (if it is indeed Kikwang with smokes in his hand).

I don't really like people smoking in general so :/ to this. I hope they don't do some Anti-smoking song because that would be hypocritical. Should smoke my penis tbh, much more healthier

I just wanted to say, that Cube's response is great.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

He would have been the last one in Beast I would though to smoke. See how we don't know them at all? ^^'
But Cube's answer is flawfree. It's no one's business to begin with. Class is obviously for squares nowadays.

mte, they always talk about him refusing to eat pizza & instead eating chicken breasts b/c he wants to stay healthy and what not..

[hi-yu.livejournal.com]

realistic respond is relevant. Thumb Thumb

lol, flawless response from cube.

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

tbh I'm more surprised when I find a Korean teen/20-something guy that DOESN'T smoke.

[sylviya.livejournal.com]

lol you tell them Cube. Basically theyre just "he's old enough, what's your point?"
And I'm pretty sure Junhyung smokes as well since he was snapped in that picture with a box of menthol cigarettes in his jacket pocket lol

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Ia, Junhyung is a given.

[onlylexy.livejournal.com]

That's right cube!

[onlylexy.livejournal.com]

Even though I am not a fan of smoking I like how they are keeping it real.

lol

i have nothing against smokers, i just think it's stupid that singers do it.

then again, most idols hardly rely on their voices for popularity.

[meterstandkaart.livejournal.com]

Yup this. Next time he screws up a note people are gonna bash him so hard.

[royalantares.livejournal.com]

It might be hypocritical but I still think it'd be okay for them to do. It's your choice to smoke or not, but it's still not good for you or recipients of second-hand smoke and the message is to the benefit of kids and people in general.

[ramunerain.livejournal.com]

lol, Cube's response to this is boss.

[killclosedrown.livejournal.com]

WOW good on you Cube *high five*

[gumdrop-showers.livejournal.com]

Love Cube's response to this. Although, I generally don't like it when singers smoke, but whatever. It's his body and he can do with it what he wishes.

[froggytu88.livejournal.com]

Lmao their response is great.

It's his body and his choice. It may not be anyone elses business, but most people criticize smoking because of the awful effects it has on the body. I'd count that as atleast one reason why it's an "issue"...

[frightenedbunny.livejournal.com]

with all the stress he gets, im surprised he didnt start earlier tbh. also lololo he doesn't rely on his voice for popularity so i don't think it's a big deal to him :3

[taeminsponytail.livejournal.com]

Kiki replies on his abs, as long as he can find a gym then it's all good!

[stinkytoenaty.livejournal.com]

fucking this!!

[stinkytoenaty.livejournal.com]

It's his fucking life and he shouldn't give a fuck about anything, if he wants to smoke so he shall smoke. Grow up and deal w/ it.

[a-life-defiant.livejournal.com]

*high five* YES

[figus204.livejournal.com]

lol xD

[merylsteep.livejournal.com]

Yeah you tell 'em Cube. Smoking is totally common in SK, and most of our idol oppas arent exempted from it.

[dance-afarian.livejournal.com]

He's an adult and he knows what's good and what's bad for him. You go Cube!

[takchik.livejournal.com]

I am always surprised when people are shocked an idols smokes...Korea is one of the top nations for cig sales....and i don't see why they can't still do an anti-smoking song..my mom smokes and she tells people all the time to not do it xD they can also just not let him do the song?

[yeocheon.livejournal.com]

I bet most Idols do. And I'm still waiting for the day where a picture of an Idol sniffing some kokain or taking other pills pops up, tbh.

[yeocheon.livejournal.com]

*cocaine lol

[nimco.livejournal.com]

Surprised tbh since he was all about health and stuff. It's like finding out Taeyang smokes lol.

[askbask.livejournal.com]

Seohyun*

[yumi-maki.livejournal.com]

I'm not down with smoking, particularly for singers but I respect Cube's response. Nip that in the bud, yo.
