The main vocal Chen (real name Kim Jong-dae) of the group EXO is the topic of news about marriage. On the 13th, Chen said in a handwritten letter, "I am very nervous and nervous about how to start talking, but I want to be the first to tell the fans who gave me so much love."
“I have a girlfriend who wants to spend my whole life together. I was worried and worried about what would happen due to this decision, but I wanted to communicate with the company a little early so that the members and the company, especially the fans who are proud of me, would not be surprised by the sudden news, and I was also talking with the company and consulting with the members. " I was very embarrassed because I could not do the parts I planned with the company and the members, but I was more encouraged by this blessing. I was careful to take the courage because I could not delay the time anymore while thinking about when and how to tell you. "
Finally, Chen said he would like to thank the members who congratulated him and the fans who sent him love. But news of Chen's marriage was a big surprise. The news of the marriage of the active Idol is not uncommon, and it is the marriage news of the EXO member who is still the top Idol. But Chen was the first to tell fans directly, Choices, which is never easy with Idol, but the voice of support for responsible and courageous confessions has also increased. Still, some people expressed embarrassment.
It is reported that the marriage ceremony has already been held in the cathedral on the 13th, while the marriage ceremony schedule is going privately.
In Chen's case, you can feel the atmosphere in which the marriage view of Idols has changed significantly. Wonder Girls Sunye, FT Island Choi Min-hwan, Raboum Yulhee, and U-Kiss Eli were also active, and they were surprised to hear about marriage news.
In the past, Idol is soon used as mysticism, and it is quite different from the marriage, as well as love. Because of this, the marriage of Idol was naturally considered to be a long thing, but the news of the marriage of active Idols is continuing. Recently, the strongest Changmin, Kim Hee-cheol and Momo have also been informed of the news of their devotion, and they can see the different love and marriage style from the past.
Chen also reported his news in a handwritten letter rather than hiding it, relying on himself to reveal rather than being known by others, and being the best Choices. Therefore, there is a high voice to cheer and encourage him, but it is true that the reaction in the fandom is mixed because it was The Artist who was loved all over the world. Choices as a man Kim Jong Dae is respected, but EXO Chen also has a reaction that it may be premature.
In addition, Chen's actions have been attracting attention as he has left the group after marriage, continued his activities, or varied his second act of life in the future. However, as Chen said he will repay his love in his future, EXO and The Artist will continue.
