“Leave EXO alone”: EXO-Ls defend Chen against leaving the group after Sehun’s alleged girlfriend’s premarital pregnancy rumors

EXO’s Sehun’s alleged girlfriend’s premarital pregnancy rumors have taken a bizarre turn, with a certain section of fans demanding Chen be removed from the group.

For those unversed, on March 27, an anonymous netizen claimed that EXO’s Sehun’s alleged non-celebrity girlfriend is pregnant with the couple’s child, and as proof, they took pictures from her KakaoTalk account and uploaded them on various online forums.

Another unnamed netizen chimed in, claiming that they saw an unmarried male idol with his girlfriend at an obstetrician-gynecologist clinic (OB-GYN), further stoking the rumors.

A certain section of fans are angry that the members always involve themselves in premarital pregnancy rumors. For those unaware, in January 2020, the group’s ace singer Chen announced his marriage and non-celebrity fiancée’s pregnancy.

While the majority of fans cheered on the newlyweds, some urged Chen's expulsion from the group, claiming he betrayed their faith and trust.

A select portion of EXO fans are now calling for Chen to be removed from the group in response to Sehun's recent controversy

“Leave EXO alone,” @kyungsoomanini wrote on Twitter in response to fans’ protest.

EXO’s fans defend Chen in light of Sehun’s alleged girlfriend’s premarital pregnancy rumors

In January 2020, a section of EXO fans demanded that Chen be thrown out of the group after he announced that he was getting married to his non-celebrity girlfriend, who was pregnant with the couple’s first child at the time.

They claimed that his actions caused them to feel betrayed and that it damaged their faith in the singer. They even arranged a protest in front of the SM Entertainment headquarters in Seoul, but only seven people turned up.

Some fans want Chen to be removed from the group after Sehun finds himself the target of premarital pregnancy rumors. These fans claim that it has become a noticeable pattern amongst members, and Chen should take the blame for it since he started it.

However, most fans have banded together to support Chen and Sehun by writing sweet messages of assurance for the Growl singers and urging SM Entertainment to look into the matter.

Many fans found this bizarre, considering Sehun personally took to Instagram to clarify that a random woman on the internet is claiming to be his girlfriend, which is absolutely untrue.

He admitted that despite being aware of the woman's existence and being aware that she was acting like his girlfriend at first, he had chosen to ignore it. He is now extremely angry and resolved to take legal action against the woman and the anonymous netizens who attempted to smear him online as a result of the recent controversy.

“For a couple of days, there have been ridiculous rumours circling the internet, and I felt that I would need to respond legally to correct them. As my fans will know, ever since a couple of years ago, there has been a woman who has been pretending to be my girlfriend."

SM Entertainment promptly released a statement denying the rumors surrounding Sehun’s alleged girlfriend’s pregnancy and revealed that they will be closely monitoring the situation and taking legal action against the unnamed netizens and the woman for trying to malign Sehun’s reputation.

“The rumors circulating online about Sehun are false and completely groundless. This is a definite criminal act of distributing malicious false information. Although the posts have been deleted, we are continuously monitoring [to figure out] the original poster as well as those who distribute the rumors. We will be taking strong legal action.”
