JAKARTA - EXO Chen welcomed the birth of his first child on Wednesday, April 29. This news was confirmed by SM Entertainment as the agency that oversees Chen.

Financial News reported, today Chen's wife gave birth to her daughter who is female at a hospital in Gangnam. A while later, Chen's agency immediately confirmed, "It is true that their daughter was born on this day."

This news received mixed responses from fans. On the one hand, there are still many who regret Chen's decision to get married when EXO was still a career and popular. But on the other hand, many fans appreciate Chen's desire to become a father. Hashtags such as #WelcomEXOPrincess and # 종 대야 _ 축하해 (Jongdae-ya - Congratulations) (Jongdae is Chen's real name) have been buzzing social media since this news was revealed.

In early January, EXO-L was surprised by the handwriting Chen uploaded through a fan forum. He wrote that he was marrying someone he loved and that he received the news that his wife was pregnant. Then, the singer of Beautiful Goodbye asked fans to respect and bless his decision.

At that time, many fans started a petition against SM Entertainment to remove EXO's main vocalist and remove Chen from promotional forms related to EXO.

After that Chen apologized again for feeling reckless when announcing the marriage. This In The Heights musical player admits that he will be more careful and show the best side in his music.

Then SM Entertainment also gave a statement. Because Chen's wife is not a public figure, there is no official publication regarding Chen's relationship. The agency also said that Chen would remain a member of EXO and a soloist even though he was married.

Chen is a member of EXO who has now debuted as a solo singer. In addition to releasing two mini albums in 2019, Chen also filled out a lot of drama soundtracks and collaborated with other musicians. Last time, he participated as a collaborator in Dynamic Duo's latest single, You, which was released a few weeks after the announcement of his marriage. Congratulations Chen and wife!
