EXO's Chen Welcomes His First Child

Back in January of this year, EXO's Chen became the first EXO member to confirm he was to be married and to get married. He penned a hand written note to fans exclaiming how much he loved his partner and wished to marry her, and that a blessing had come to them.

I have a girlfriend with whom I want to spend the rest of my life.

Although I had worries and concerns about what kind of things would happen as a result of this decision, because I wanted to deliver the sudden news as early as possible so that our members and company whom I’ve been together with, and especially our fans who are proud of me, wouldn’t be so shocked, I’ve been communicating with the company and members.

In the middle of doing so, a blessing came to me. Since the situation changed, becoming one where I could no longer do what I’d been planning to do with the company and members, I was very flustered, but found strength through this blessing.*
