After breaking news of EXO Chen‘s marriage and soon-to-be born child, fans have showed different reactions to the news. While some were happy for him and supported the news, some felt betrayed by him. Fans began posting photos and evidence online revealing hints from the past that showed that Chen had been in a relationship all this time.
Fans who ran fan accounts and sites for Chen began to close down online rapidly as well. While some understood their decision to close down, others felt that it was unnecessary and that a true fan would’ve continued to support Chen in whatever decisions he makes.
Here are some of the many fan sites closing statements.
“Close. I wanted to believe it was forever, but of course nothing lasts forever. I guess it was only me that was trying to hold together the pieces since last year. Thanks for at least letting us know now. Thanks for everyone’s support.”

“Close. I thought that all my time and efforts would never be thought of as wasted. Even after a long time I thought I would think the same thing but I now I truly regret all my time and efforts. Thanks to everyone who supported me all this time. Hope everyone else has a happy time with their fandom.”

“All the moments since 2013 until now can be seen a short time or a long time, but I truly had a great time and all the love was real. I am a bit shocked because I never thought this would end. I’m sad that this ends with an apology. Thanks for all the support.”

“It wasn’t a long time and I didn’t do anything particularly special, but I think I did my best during that time. I don’t think I can just let everything go and continue to support you. I think your dreams and our dreams were different. I will go to my future.

“It’s been eight years since I’ve been your fan. I remember you telling me not to like you. Should I have stopped everything then? You were such a larger than life person to me and my one ray of hope. I guess I’m too close-minded to congratulate you. However, you were special to me and I supported you with all my heart. Goodbye.”
