Moon Lovers: EXO’s Baekhyun Hilariously Halts Filming Over Cucumbers

In an amusing behind-the-scenes moment, EXO’s Baekhyun halted the filming of the hit K-drama Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo due to a surprising reason: cucumbers. This incident has since become a memorable anecdote from the show’s production.

What Happened During Filming?

Baekhyun, who played the role of Wang Eun in the popular historical romance drama alongside IU and Lee Joon Gi, caused quite a stir on set. During a scene where the characters were seated at a table, Baekhyun’s character was supposed to eat cucumbers. However, when his co-star Yoon Sun Woo, who played 9th Prince Wang Won, tried to feed him a cucumber, Baekhyun unexpectedly stopped the scene.

According to SBS’s behind-the-scenes footage, Baekhyun, known for his charming personality, expressed his dislike for cucumbers with a simple “I can’t really eat cucumber.” This humorous revelation led to a spontaneous pause in filming, with the entire cast and crew bursting into laughter.

Why Was the Filming Halted?

The interruption was a result of Baekhyun’s picky eating habits. His aversion to cucumbers led to an impromptu break in the shoot, turning a routine scene into a funny and unforgettable moment for everyone involved.

Baekhyun’s Recent Updates

Baekhyun, whose real name is Byun Baekhyun, recently left SM Entertainment alongside fellow EXO members Chen and Xiumin due to a contract dispute. Despite this, EXO will continue their group activities. Baekhyun has since launched his own agency, INB100. He is also gearing up for a solo comeback with his 4th album, Hello, World, set to release on September 6, 2024, following a teaser revealed during his Asia tour Lonsdaleite.

This quirky incident is just one of many memorable moments from Baekhyun's career, adding to his charm and appeal both on and off screen.
