EXO member Chen has addressed his fans following a series of legal disputes involving himself and fellow group members Baekhyun and Xiumin. The trio, known collectively as CBX, have been engaged in a legal battle with SM Entertainment since June 2023, primarily concerning issues of transparency regarding their earnings. As of now, attempts at mediation have not yielded positive results, leading the members to part ways with the company and pursue individual careers.
Recently, EXO announced plans for a fan meeting set for December 2023 and the release of a new album featuring only six of its members. This decision has drawn criticism from some fans, who continue to advocate for a resolution that would allow all nine members of EXO to participate in group activities. On October 28, reports surfaced indicating that the three members of CBX are nearing the loss of all six ongoing lawsuits against SM Entertainment, which has intensified backlash from fans.
In light of these developments, Chen took to the messaging platform Bubble to share several updates, seemingly aimed at reassuring his supporters. His messages included phrases such as “Arrived,” “Did you get off work???” and “Did you have a good day?” He specifically stated, “I’m always healthy in both body and mind, so don’t worry about me.” This outreach resonated with fans, who expressed gratitude for his attempts to comfort them during a turbulent time.
Many supporters took to social media to respond positively to Chen’s messages. One fan tweeted, “My body and heart (mind) are always healthy, so don’t worry about me ✌️” while another encouraged him to focus on his health, saying, “Y/n, take care of your health first!!” The sentiment was clear: fans appreciate Chen’s transparency and commitment to maintaining a positive outlook despite the ongoing challenges.
The emotional landscape surrounding EXO and its members has become increasingly complex. As the group prepares for new ventures, the calls for an inclusive comeback featuring all nine members persist. Chen has openly expressed his desire for a full reunion, speaking fondly of his time with the group during recent fan calls.
Despite the ongoing legal conflicts, Chen’s consistent positivity and dedication to his fans have been highlighted by many admirers. Supporters laud his ability to remain constructive and encouraging throughout his career, with one fan remarking on social media, “It’s actually insane how he’s never said a single bad or even shady thing his entire career.”
The situation surrounding EXO and its members continues to evolve, with fans remaining hopeful for a resolution that will allow for a united comeback. As the December fan meeting approaches, the spotlight remains on both the legal proceedings and the emotional well-being of the artists involved.
