There is a strong backlash against the group EXO Chen (28 and Kim Jong-dae), who announced the marriage surprise. EXO's official fan club 'EXO-L ACE Alliance' (hereinafter EXOel) also issued a statement calling for Chen's Exiting.
EXOel said in a statement on the 16th, "Chen's arbitrary actions have not only been seen by the public, but also the Image of the group itself called EXO is seriously damaged." "There are tags such as 'marriage stone' and 'youbudol' in EXO related articles, as well as gossip articles that mass-produce rumors to other members."
"The division and disruption of EXO fandom is serious," he said. "We have shown outstanding unity so far, but Chen's irresponsible notification is causing an unusual fandom division. This is because the trust in the members, which is the basic basis of fanship, has disappeared. "
EXOel said: "An unstable group schedule is damaging to both fandom and The Artist. A number of paid members with substantial purchasing power within EXO fandom want Chen to leave. "Chen's team Exiting, schedule will be announced accurately, and The Artist protection is demanded.
Finally, the fans finished the article, "If there is no answer from the agency by 18th, we will carry out the demonstration."
Chen posted a handwritten letter to the official fan club community on the 13th and announced the news of marriage. The agency also announced Chen's marriage and announced that the bride-to-be was a non-entertainer, so that all the processes would be closed.
EXO fandom is showing a split. While cheering Chen, many people demand Chen's withdrawal, saying that there is no minimum consideration for fans.
