"EXO #1 Dad Becomes"...Chen Announces Marriage and Pregnancy in January Today (29th) a Woman of Honor
SM Entertainment, a subsidiary company, said on 29th, "Chen is right about a woman of honor today."
Chen's wife was reported to have given birth a little earlier than scheduled at a maternity clinic in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
Earlier, Chen reported the marriage news directly to fans in a hand letter in January, when Chen said, "I have a girlfriend who wants to spend my life together. I was worried and worried about what kind of situation would happen due to this decision, but I wanted to communicate a little early so that the members who have been together and the company, especially the fans who are proud of me, would not be surprised by the sudden news. "He said.
In addition, Chen also released the news of the second generation, "Blessing came to me. I was very embarrassed because I could not do the parts I planned with the company and members, but I was more encouraged by this blessing. I was careful to be careful because I could not delay the time anymore while worrying about when and how to tell. "
SM Entertainment also said, "Chen has met a precious relationship and marriage." The bride is a non-entertainer, and marriage ceremony is planned to be held reverently by only the families of both families. "
However, some fans in Chen's marriage announcement revealed their resentment for Chen, who had a sudden marriage and premarital pregnancy news during his career as a top idol member. In addition, fans were very disappointed when Chen posted a marriage ceremony at the cathedral on the day of the marriage announcement, and reports that his wife was in the seventh month of pregnancy. The agency said it was "unfounded," but some fans issued a statement and demanded his withdrawal.
Chen expressed his sorryness to his fans in about a month after the announcement of the marriage. Chen said, "I am worried that I will hurt you with a bad word, but I want to say sorry to all of you who have waited for me first, and I want to express my apology to EXOel who would have been surprised and embarrassed by my sudden news."
"When I first wrote, I had a lot of trouble about how to tell EXOel who had been together for the first time in my life," he said. "But I left it with the idea that I should tell you the truth first, but unlike my heart, I was disappointed and hurt by my lack and poor words.
Chen said, "I do not know if my heart will be well communicated, but I sincerely appreciate the love you have given me so far and I know that I am now because there are those loves." "I apologize to you again too late. And I will show you how I will continue to work. Thank you. "
But Chen's belated apology was not enough to restore a turning fanfare; even afterward, fans' calls for a withdrawal continued. In the end, SM Entertainment said, "We had time to discuss Chen's marriage with EXO members before officially announcing it, and all EXO members have been suffering from member separation, so we have been willing to continue to be together." We also respect the opinions of these members and inform them that there is no change in EXO members. "
