Baekhyun spoke up for the first time since his relationship with Taeyeon was revealed.

During EXO's Chongqing concert on the 28th, he said, "All of you fans are not a light presence to me that just passes by. Each and every one of you are precious to me and gives me strength. I hope that my sincere feeling gets to you. I'll become EXO's Baekhyun that works hard not just today, but in the future as well, so keep a watch over me." 

This seems to be indirectly hinting at some fans' responses to his dating news as some fans of both and Baekhyun and Taeyeon had expressed that they felt 'mocked' and even betrayed as the two had exchanged secret coded messages on Instagram, which the two used to communicate with fans. Some fans were also upset that he had once stated that he didn't think it was time for EXO members to be dating yet and that he'd personally think about love maybe in his thirties after concentrating on EXO first.

Baekhyun hasn't said anything even during his appearances on SBS' 'Inkigayo' or KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank', so his words spread rapidly through SNS.

The Taeyeon-Baekhyun couple came to light on the 19th, and SM Entertainment admitted their first ever in-company couple with the pair.
