Group EXO member Chen reported on the news of the marriage three months after the announcement of the marriage.
Chen's agency SM Entertainment said on the 29th that "Chen was a big girl today." This revealed that the seven-month pregnancy that had been announced when Chen announced the marriage news eventually became true.
Earlier, Chen announced on January 13th through the fan community that he had a premarital pregnancy news with his girlfriend. SM also said Chen's girlfriend is a non-entertainer and the marriage ceremony will be held privately.
Fans were outraged over embarrassment at his sudden marriage announcement; EXO's paid fandom, the EXO El Ace Alliance, also held a rally urging Chen to leave. The group image was damaged, as well as the fans' trust.
The news of Chen's daughter, who was told in this situation, fueled the anger of fans. Fans' anger has intensified as the position of the agency, which strongly said that it was "unfounded" about the seven-month pregnancy, has been revealed to be false, and the voice demanding Chen's withdrawal from the group continues.
On the other hand, some people refuted that marriage and childbirth could not be the reason for leaving the group, and cheered him up by celebrating Chen's marriage and the news.
