[knetizen/pannatic/nb] EXO’s Chen announces his marriage through a handwritten letter

[bye-bye]

EXO’s Chen announces his marriage “A blessing came to me, I’m grateful to the members and the fans”

SM Entertainment has announced that EXO’s Chen will be getting married.

“Hello. This is SM Entertainment.

Chen has met someone precious to him and will be getting married. The bride is a non-celebrity, and the wedding will be held privately with only their families in attendance.

 

To respect their families’ opinions, the wedding and everything related to it will be held privately, so we ask fans and reporters for their kind understanding.

Chen will continue to work hard as an artist.

We ask you to send Chen lots of blessings and messages of celebration.

Thank you.” cr

EXO‘s Chen has revealed through EXO’s official fanclub on LYSN a hand written letter confirming he has a girlfriend, and that he will be marrying her.

“Hello, this is Chen.

I have something to say to my fans, so I wrote this letter. I don’t know how to start, so I am very nervous. I wanted to be the first one to tell my fans who I love so much, so I am leaving this post even with my lacking sentences.

I have a girlfriend who I want to be with for the rest of my life.

I was worried and concerned with what would happen with my decision, but I wanted to let everyone know early so my members, the company, my agency, and especially my fans who are proud of me wouldn’t be surprised by the sudden news, so I talked it out with my agency and the members.

During that time a blessing came to me. I was shocked because I wasn’t able to take part in the plans that I had made with the members and the company. But, this blessing gave me the strength and courage. I thought about how and when I should reveal the news but I didn’t want to wait any longer so I am carefully revealing it to you all now.

I am grateful to my members for genuinely supporting and congratulating me and to our fans for always showering us with insurmountable love. I will always be grateful for all of you and will continue to do my best in the position I am in.

Thank you always.” cr

1. [+2089, -149] Although I’m a fan of another group, I feel weird looking at the article. But if he were my singer, I would have collapsedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+743, -9] That blessing means she’s pregnant, right?

3. [+536, -9] The fans are in shock.

4. [+448, -12] She’s pregnant so he gets married

5. [+365, -110] But I think Chen is really cool. There are many celebrities who are trash these days. Chen’s protecting his wife and child at the risk of being criticized. It’s so cool to be responsible.

6. [+182, -14] I’m not a fan of EXO, but his responsible appearance seems to be something to be congratulated on.

-T... That was very out of the blue. I didn't see this coming at all.

 

-The blessing that he mentioned... Does that mean his soon-to-be wife is pregnant...?

 

-This is very out of blue and it took me by surprise, but congratulations

 

-I am shaking really bad right now...

 

-Whoa, that's great... Congratulations~~

 

-I'm sure it wasn't easy for him to deliver this news to his fansㅠㅠ Anyway, I'm rooting for him! Congratulations!

 

-What? Wait a second... I need to process this

 

-I am happy for him but... My heart is aching really bad....ㅠㅠㅠ

 

-Hul... Congratulations, I guess???

 

-This is very surprising but if this is real then I'm happy for you, Jongdae-ya...

 

-I seriously don't know how to react to this

 

-Marriage...?

 

-Oh my goodness. Good for him, congratulations!

 

-I feel really weird right nowㅠㅠㅠ Anyway, congratulationsㅠㅠㅠ

 

-Whoa... Hmm... Ugh.... Wow.... That definitely took me by surprise. Congratulations. Woohoo...

1. [+5,313, -75] Daebak.. a popular active idol getting someone pregnant before marriage.. his fans must be really surprised right now

2. [+4,547, -64] Wow... I can already hear their fandom going crazy

3. [+4,144, -62] Wow, shocking

4. [+614, -7] He's trying to act like the baby came along while he was preparing for marriage when it's basically a shotgun wedding

5. [+535, -27] I'm not an EXO fan or anything, just a woman in her thirties, but my mouth dropped in shock when I read that Chen's getting married after getting someone pregnant... I can definitely understand EXO fans going nuts if even I'm this shocked...

6. [+493, -12] I don't get why you wouldn't use protection ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+413, -3] Are EXO fans mentals ok?

8. [+410, -94] It's shocking but I find it amazing that he's choosing to take responsibility instead of aborting it. He's going to suffer a huge aftermath for his decision as an EXO member but I bet you that there are a ton of celebrities who have chosen to abort instead.

9. [+387, -14] So many shotgun weddings these days ㅋㅋ is it really that hard to use protection?

10. [+288, -21] Please start using protection, a pre-marital pregnancy is nothing to be so proud of, tsk

1. [+952, -18] Responsibility? ㅋㅋㅋ Isn't that something he should already be doing?

2. [+763, -30] Wow.. their fans' mentals must be exploding... their leader was already struggling to pull this group as it is

3. [+678, -36] The sad thing about the timing is that he has to enlist soon so the woman is basically going to have to raise the kid herself for a while

4. [+114, -4] Well it's a pre-marital pregnancy, what other option does he have but to take responsibility unless he's going to abort it and throw the woman away? The fact that they didn't use protection in the first place puts responsibility in a different perspective in this situation.

5. [+66, -0] Changmin at least showed a basic sense of respect for his fans which is why he received the blessings of the public when he came forward with his relationship. Chen's method is too wrong.

1. [+8,141, -338] Speaking neutrally, he's 29 years old and at an age where marriage is understandable. He also claims that he was always planning on marrying this woman, so I don't find it that problematic... Unfortunately, he would've received a lot more support if it was just wedding news, but it's super shocking for his fans to hear the wedding news through a pre-marital pregnancy...

2. [+4,213, -195] Let's be real, you wouldn't be marrying her like this if she never got pregnant~

3. [+3,590, -585] I want to support him... have a happy life~!

4. [+2,397, -420] Let's see you on 'Superman Returns' later ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+2,888, -1,087] Fans, please stop living in your fantasy worlds and focus on your reality

6. [+1,186, -17] Didn't he claim to be shocked at watching DO's kiss scene... Jongdae-ya, you're more shocking ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+1,111, -16] Debuted with MAMA, now he'll be retiring as a PAPA ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ people are so witty

8. [+844, -28] I'm sorry but taking responsibility for a life you created is a definite thing, not something deserving of praise ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ if someone failed to do so, they'd deserve hate, but doing what's expected of you is not deserving of praise

9. [+772, -87] I knew he had a girlfriend and it's fine that he wants to marry her but as a fan, I don't understand why you'd commit pre-marital pregnancy. Let me just laugh ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+576, -57] As a fan of 7 years, I'm just shocked. I don't know about leaving the fandom yet or whatever but... what about the other members?..

1. [+9,489, -200] He's "cool" for taking responsibility? Taking responsibility is not something cool, it's something definite! Anyway, I am surprised but congratulations.

2. [+7,521, -517] Sure, that's great and all, but why would you not use protection knowing that you haven't even served in the army yet? What is this, Jongdae-ya... I'm actually worried for the woman right now. Imagine her situation... she's pregnant before getting married, her partner's an idol, he hasn't served yet, he has a ton of young fans... If he had any respect for his girlfriend at all, he wouldn't have planned to marry her in this manner. I'm glad he's taking responsibility but I hope that he's able to protect her and lead a happy life.

3. [+3,242, -407] In an industry where all the top celebrities are playing dirty, it's amazing that he's taking responsibility like this at a young age. It must've been a difficult decision but I think he'll make a fine man of the household. Congratulations to your blessing and your new wife.

4. [+2,982, -153] It's unfortunate that he has to serve soon. Even if he manages to get into a unit that comes home every night, she's still going to have to watch over the baby by herself.

5. [+1,922, -141] I support your happiness. Congratulations on your marriage as Kim Jongdae, the person you are before you are an EXO member.

6. [+488, -4] There's nothing amazing about it, this is what he should be doing

7. [+435, -9] Someone want to help my dongsaeng out...? She's a crying mess right now

8. [+531, -113] I've supported and believed in him for the past 6 years but I cannot congratulate him on a pre-marital pregnancy. He will now be putting his team at risk by choosing to raise a baby and pursue his career at the same time.

9. [+287, -11] Please don't try to look up his girlfriend's identity. Even if you do know it, don't spread it anywhere.

10. [+239, -20] In reality, a lot of people get married from pre-marital pregnancies. I guess people are more strict with him because he's a celebrity... All that matters is that you live a happy life after marriage. I think he's at the right time for it!

Not as bad as I feared.

It would have always been either him, xiumin or d.o marrying first. Congratulations~!

Seems like people are still in shock and I can't say I blame them. That was ... a lot at once. But a pregnancy is a really big lifechanging event, so I hope people let Chen and his future wife adjust to it smoothly. Congrats to them

[TrapWaifu]

Well he’s not a woman so he probably won’t get hated as much as Sunye. Congrats on his baby.

the reactions are funny considering most are from non-fans. Why they are thinking of EXO fans mental? ... no EXO-L is going crazy.  It's a surprising news, but that's all ... things will continue like before. Chen is part of EXO, the group we love. If he found his happiness, we should be glad for him. We "walked" together for 8 years and continue walking , the members and fans grew together.

I'm happy for him.

[vamprosie]

some kfans are being super nasty on the lysn app, so if any of you have a lysn account leave some nice messages for jongdae please!!

I will never understand the entitlement some korean fans (and others as well, but this is def big in korean fan culture) have over their idols. just bc they spent money on them, they think they can control their lives. absolute weirdos.

this was a false report, SM already denied this, so please don't spread it

[Catallena]

7. [+1,111, -16] Debuted with MAMA, now he'll be retiring as a PAPA ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Lmfao

 

Anyways, congrats! 

[minhoe]

it is illegal for him to do sex before marriage

 

also its weird for his fans to know that he has ejaculated 

[Neopoli]

knetz acting like the pregnancy was a complete surprise, despite it sounds like they're head over hills and planned this. so much complaining about per-martiel pregnancy yikes

[olivefoss]

If Korea's outlook on premarital sex/pregnancy wasn't so warped, I doubt anyone would care that much.

 

I hope they have a happy marriage
