Today January 19th, 2020, several EXO-L met on the forecourt of the SMTOWN artium in the Gangnam district to express their dissatisfaction with the latest announcements from the member of EXO, CHEN.
Indeed, CHEN, whose real name is KIM JONG DAE, recently announced his marriage to her pregnant girlfriend. Sudden news that surprised many EXO fans all around the world.
This news divided the EXO-L, part of them took the news and support the artist in his choice, but another part doesn’t agree with this decision and makes it known.
With various petitions and a press release sent directly to SM Entertainment, fans who think that this will damage the image of EXO, expressly request that CHEN leave the group immediately.
KSTATION TV went to Seoul today to take stock of this protest. When we arrive the EXO-L are getting ready to get their message out. Remember that the demonstrations in South Korea are very organized and supervised.
The group doesn’t seem to be very large, but it will grow as the minutes pass. Several passers-by having seen the scene, will come to support those present and retrieve a small poster supporting this action. The EXO-L present brought the various objects with the effigy of CHEN to throw them on the ground to show that they no longer want them.
The organizers have planned various objects so that the EXO-L are in the best conditions to demonstrate. A banner with the hashtags #첸_탈퇴해, “chen_out is brandished so that it can be shared on social networks.
Even if the group does not seem that important, these EXO-L have managed to move different media, and some renowned, like SBS or YEONAP NEWS, to get their message out. They will also answer several of their questions.
It’s a complicated moment between SM Entertainment, EXO-L and CHEN. A decision will have to be made and necessarily this will not satisfy all people.
