Article: SM, "Chen will NOT be leaving the group after his wedding... We respect the opinions of the members, he will continue promoting without leave"

1. [+2,187, -130] It'd be best if he just focus on his new role as a father and leave the group..

2. [+1,942, -96] Does SM not know that a fan who turns on you is scarier than any anti?

3. [+1,804, -103] ㅋㅋ Does SM not care about making money anymore...

4. [+179, -7] Well duh, of course the members are going to keep him in the group, they're not going to tell him to leave. It all comes down to whether he has enough shame to voluntarily leave ㅋㅋ why would anyone want a married man to be their idol ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He should at least be honest and just admit that he's staying to make more money.

5. [+148, -5] It's going to be pretty funny during EXO's next comeback when you see a baby daddy up on stage trying to act all sexy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+147, -7] I can't believe SM is using the other members as their shield right now ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Well did you really expect them to tell him to leave to his face? Ugh, ridiculous;;; We're the consumers and we're telling you that we don't want to buy your product~ㅠ

7. [+126, -11] See? SM sees fans as nothing but ATMs. Fans are the ones who are saying they don't want him the group but SM is being so stubborn.

8. [+105, -5] SM isn't considering an ounce of fan opinion at all. All they care is that the deposits come in on time ㅋㅋㅋ

9. [+87, -5] Wow, so shameless ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ even using the other members as his shield ㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+81, -6] So you respect the opinions of EXO but not the opinions of their fans?

1. [+103, -6] After reading SM's official statement, it sounds like they're basnking on the members either being tied up in the army or focusing on solo and unit projects. Since there won't be any group promos for the time being, it seems like their plan is to just borrow time and wait it out. It's going to take a while for all of EXO to get back together~~~ and by then, SM's hoping that fans will be so happy to just see them back that they'll be more lenient with this issue. SM's true intentions are so obvious.

2. [+62, -4] And yet SM had no problem kicking Jessica out..

3. [+73, -25] Please leave the group, Mihee's husband-nim

4. [+48, -3] The issue of members leaving in EXO has been a source of pain for over six years that even the members felt careful not to mention. I can't believe SM just mentioned it like that in their official statement to protect someone as insignificant as Kim Jongdae. I'm appalled.

5. [+11, -2] If you non-fans are so adamant that members getting married isn't a problem, then you go spend your own money on them

6. [+25, -17] What's it going to take with you fans? For him to leave his pregnant girlfriend???

7. [+10, -3] Then SM, why did you kick out Jessica for having a boyfriend? Are you discriminating genders?

they kicked out jess cause they figured out she would use SNSD popularity & image for promo of her brand and prob not share the profit and her brand would be much bigger if they had let her stay

i do agree chen should focus on his dad role, but exo career is going to b on/off now cause military/solo careers. 

exo has been in the industry for about 9 years and chen is one of the best kpop vocalist ever, so i wouldnt even consider them an idol group anymore. he def should stay

EXO have past their prime so yeah him leaving the group won't change things much and obviously they won't be promoting as much as their early days so I don't mind their members being in relationships getting married etc.. they already have an established career

Seems to me he is more signifiant to the other members than these clueless "fans". These people seem to think the problems EXO had to suffer through in the past are theirs to use to manipulate the group and SM.

“we respect the opinions of the members” So Sm ask before if they want the departure of a member?? So that’s how snsd got Jessica out?!

Chen's reason to "leave", while probably damaging his career, is very personal. What's Jessica's? I believe it would damage SM more than her,  so I don't think members inputs were significant. No I don't think she dating someone was one of the reasons.

There are old rumors coming from c-sones that the SNSD members voted between them to determine if she was leaving the group. I watched once a video that summed up pretty well the theories and lies surrounding her departure where those rumors were detailed. But no one really knows the truth.

Well that’s it then. They should stop dragging it out and announce the official group hiatus so everyone can focus on bias’ solos and subunits. This toxic mess of a fandom is about to become even more fractured than it already is. Yikes

We been knew SM is a meninist, no? why would they kick Chen out of the group when his solo career was taking off. While on the other hand Jessica case is different because she's a female and SNSD agreed to kick her out, simple as. Has been known for years this, taken from Jessica's statement as well as SM's.

Idk why people bring Jessica up, when this is more comparable to Sungmin's case.

And speaking about it, EXO's decision to support Chen makes SUJU look worse imho. Like, their asses supported Kangin, but a fellow member gets married and they don't have his back.

I do think SM took in consideration of the girls’ opinions bc SNSD made SM a lot of money so they have some sort of say, but realistically this is a business at the end the day, so the ultimate decision to depart Jessica was most likely made by SM.

I'm glad SM back him up, for him, for the group, but also for all the others idols who will be married in the future. If fans think they can kick out a member just for getting married and having a kid, they will think that it's normal and will always try to kick out others idols who will get married, and the others idols would be even more scared to reveal their relationships... Dating ban is 3 years (even if I think it will be better if they get rid of this , but we can't ask for too much) and fans need to understand that being in a relationship, being married is not something you can be kicked out for. Maybe Chen can be in superman is back/Mr house husband, it work for Minhwan, I think he is even more popular than before.

Minhwan still in the group, Chen too ... Now I'm waiting for the day girls can also be moms and idols (I know it's more hard because they need more time with the pregancy and all but groups are so bigs now, it will be good if a group can promote without the members just the time she need to give birth and all, and comeback in the group)

Chen is not leaving and the majority of the fandom are happy and they support ot9.

The K-exols are no longer considered as largest part of the fandom, The majority of the EXOL fandom are international fans, so korean fans who don't support chen can't hold the majority of the opinion.

SM and EXO discussed the issue and the future of the group together, EXO wants to hold on each other, they want chen to stay, they want to stay ot9, they literally said on tv the group stays together or leave together. SM said okay and gave them what they wanted. THAT's why chen is still an exo member, same as Lay, they want him to stay so he stay. 

K-fans can choke.
