NCT DREAM are currently on their The Dream Show 3: DREAM()SCAPE TOUR. Recently, the group began the U.S. leg of the tour, starting with a show in Los Angeles and have a final date in Chicago before moving on to Europe.
As part of their interactions with fans, the group read signs throughout the show, meaning there were more than usually seen at a concert. Fans usually have funny or thoughtful messages for the group, which earn reactions from the members as they read them.
However, a fan‘s NSFW message for Jaemin earlier in the tour sparked a debate.

Another sign has sparked negativity online, this time for featuring one of Haechan‘s previous scandals.
Earlier this year, Haechan was spotted vaping in the back of a video shared by NCT’s official account. While smoking is a personal choice, there are laws against doing so indoors and Haechan was fined for doing so.
At the Washington D.C concert fans couldn’t help but notice a specific sign that was shown on screen. Originally, a fan’s sign requesting that members take off their shirts was show, but then flipped around showing a message that said “Haechan Can I Please Hit Your Vape.”

Usually, NCTzens are the first to make jokes about their favorite idols being caught smoking, but because of the criticism he faced some felt this was done in poor taste.
yeah idc if it doesn’t sound like a big deal it’s just rude and unnecessary and that part of the show is for sweet messages and that was just.. uncalled for? nctzens ur humor isn’t funny!!!!

“take off your shirt” & “can you hit your vape?” Are you deadass? Do you not understand the fact that Haechan has said multiple times that he is uncomfortable with showing his stomach? And the vape one is so damn stupid. Be TF for real. https://t.co/BuV6Q05mK4 pic.twitter.com/B7FZq3dm8e

the person intentionally flipping their sign to show the ‘haechan can i hit your vape’ sign on the big screen is so infuriating..like they really do things for shits & giggles at the expense of hc & dont care at all when other ppl use it against hc/make hc the butt of the joke https://t.co/Xfv9HOg3uO

On the other hand, some saw the negative reactions as overreactions as the sign was meant to be a joke.
Bro everyone laughed at the “can I hit your vape haechan” it was a lighthearted joke 😭 yall get mad at everything pic.twitter.com/wANXJhy4El
