Will Chen end up like Sungmin?

Both announced they were getting married out of nowhere and then got married right away before enlistment. To add to that Chen is going to be a father. 

Till this day Sungmin hasn't promoted with Super Junior since he got married. Many fans left him but he still released solo music. Do you think the same fate waits for Chen? 

Discuss.

idk honestly. hopefully not. suju fans r expected to be mature and understandable, but they r not. international exo-l is supportive so far, but there're probs a lot of korean fans who didnt take it well, who will go bitching next cb. so lets hope for the best feedback

no.

chen situation is different sort of. 

he already started establishing his solo career before his announcement. he will probably continue to do individual activities.

it's been pretty obvious for a while now that all the members of exo have different goals and are not as focus on just doing group idol-like activities.

edit: most likely chen will take a short break while when the baby is born. then return to the music scene later

chen mantained his distance from fans all his career, he was always more about music than about idols life so i always saw his fans among the most mature ones in exo..  hope i'm not proven wrong.

anyway he's an important member of exo, his signature voice is important for exo's music (just as d.o's absence in their latest album was greatly felt, at least by me) so I hope fans understand how important he is and let him make music in peace

I'm sure he knew there were consequences about his announcement and he's probably ready to face them, such as fans leaving, but I just home they tone down the hate and let the new family live their life in peace

Wiith so many idol dating news in the last couple of years you would expect fandom culture to evolve at least a little bit but Idk... at the same time he has always been one of the least popular EXO members and had one of the chillest individual fandoms, it's just too much information to digest at once. I think it's not going to be as bad as Sungmin but it's still going to be bad.

I was about to say the same thing

Chen image is different than Sungmin, he never tried to push the single innocent image to his fans and he kept his relationship with his fans as artist and fan relationship

Are we really pretending iELF didnt accepting sungmin's marriage news happily at first? before it got bummed down by kELF?

The situations are different for sure (with how idol datings are more accepted now than before), also with how both of their images, but the patterns are kinda same now. There are lot hate from KEXOL even in LYSN and demanding Chen to left. Rumors are already starting as well (but SM is doing a slight better job now with denied it straight away than letting it went wild like with Sungmin's). 

I think it will be up to how SM playing the cards (being strict to rumor and malicious comments, or even put a lawsuit on it) and not send Chen to enlist yet.

It all depends on SM to be honest. On how they will react to kexols' tantrum. Honestly, I don't wish Sungmin's situation upon anyone and especially not in this situation where a child is also involved. 
It's true tho that the pattern has been the same, internationally welcoming while locally they are against it. It all really depends on how well SM plays its cards.

What sungmin did that chen didn't?

I'mnot aware the "reasonable" reason sungmin and suju fans were mad and abandoning him but for Chen it's 'made her gf pregnant before marriage certificate signed' which was, well, considering how conservative SK, is a  'logical reason to be disappointed'.

 

Idk how bad sungmin does nowadays but however it is I really wish Chen/Kim Jongdae always do well.

hmm lets start with I-stans 

- i-exols has a positive reaction towards and so did I-elf they, I-elf even made petitions to not kick sungmin out 

sm: k-stans >>>>>>>>I-stans

-k-exols has been merciless and they want to kick him out, surprisingly other members fansites has also been really shady and some completely showing their hatred for him, also many of his fansites closed and some went on haitus and most of his stans washed his hands off him

-muggle and the fans seems to have the same sentiment on this and are both saying he should take responsibility and leave 

-also another thing I don't think sm usually kicks idols out it's either the idol leave or the members wants them to leave 

-so what the members think of this is also important cause this is kind of going to effect the group image and some members don't have much going on outside of the group 

-but I think sm and chen already prepared for this, remember how he got many solo activities and stuff

- the other alternative is sm might make him the next Yixing he won't be kicked out of the grp but will not be in grp activities and has solo activities

honestly recent events screams sungmin 0.2 he won't leave but he will probably concentrate on his solo career from now on, k-stans will never let go of this so he will be excluded from grp promotion/activities

---

honestly he doesn't deserve any of this sh*t and I just wish him the best and I just hope this sh*t will just die out quickly
