XG member Hinata has become the subject of heated online discussion after viral concert clips prompted speculation that she may have been using a vape during a live performance.
The controversy began after a short performance clip circulated online. Some viewers claimed Hinata appeared to briefly raise a small device to her mouth during the performance, leading to speculation that she was using a vape.
A second video shared by fans appeared to show a small amount of vapor or smoke leaving her mouth, further fueling the rumors.
However, others pointed out that the effect is barely visible in the original performance footage and may appear more pronounced depending on the recording angle or video quality.
The clips quickly divided opinion among fans and online communities. Some users questioned whether the device was a vape, arguing that the visible vapor supported their interpretation. Others strongly disagreed, suggesting the device was more likely a portable nebulizer or vocal steam inhaler, a tool sometimes used by singers to help keep their throats hydrated before or during performances.
Supporters noted that performers occasionally use such devices backstage or between sets, although it is less common to see them during an active performance.
At this time, there is no verified evidence confirming that Hinata used a vape on stage. Likewise, there has been no official clarification from XG, their agency, or Hinata herself regarding the viral videos.
Without additional information, it is impossible to determine from the available clips whether the device was a vape, a vocal care device, or something else entirely.
Until an official explanation is provided, the speculation surrounding the viral videos remains just that speculation.
