This clip quickly went viral. As a result, D.O. received a fine of up to 100,000 won ($75), as reported by Soompi.
Mapo-gu Public Health Center stated,
"Article 9, Paragraph 4, Item 16 of the National Health Promotion Act designates office buildings, factories, and multi-purpose buildings with a floor area of 1,000 square meters or more as entirely non-smoking areas.
Violating this regulation can incur a fine of up to 100,000 won (about $75)," stated the Health Center.
The Health Center continued that D.O. could not confirm that his e-cigarettes were nicotine-free.
"Smoking inside a broadcast company building is against the rules.
Even though D.O. and his agency stated that he was using a nicotine-free e-cigarette, they couldn't provide any proof of this in the product's description or instructions.
Therefore, a fine was imposed. D.O. has promised to comply with the law as a public figure in the future," The Mapo-gu Public Health Center explained.
Besides this news, D.O. will come back with his solo album 'Expectation' on September 18 KST.
