At the SMTOWN Halloween party in 2017, Taeyong took a selfie while seemingly kissing a cupcake with a smiley face on it.

Yeri took a photo with the same cupcake while making a kissy face as well. Fans went to see if anyone else at the party had specifically taken a photo with that dessert, and found no other photos.

On a photocard message for “Fire Truck”, Taeyong wrote he was going to become a “fireman who would blow up all the fans worries and concerns”.
