“Chen meets a precious relationship and we are getting married,” SM Entertainment said in a press release on January 13. “The bride is a non-entertainer, and only the families of the two families will attend the wedding ceremony in a reverent manner.”
“In accordance with the family’s will, everything related to the wedding will be kept private, so please understand. He will continue to repay his fans with his continued hard work as an artist.”
Earlier in the day, Chen also delivered the news of his marriage to his fans through a self-written letter posted on his fan cafe.
Hello, this is Chen.
I have something to say to my fans, so I wrote this letter. I don’t know how to start, so I am very nervous. I wanted to be the first one to tell my fans who I love so much, so I am leaving this post even with my lacking sentences.
I have a girlfriend who I want to be with for the rest of my life.
I was worried and concerned with what would happen with my decision, but I wanted to let everyone know early so my members, the company, my agency, and especially my fans who are proud of me wouldn’t be surprised by the sudden news, so I talked it out with my agency and the members.

Chen also hinted that his fiancee is pregnant, saying that a blessing came to him and his girlfriend.
During that time a blessing came to me. I was shocked because I wasn’t able to take part in the plans that I had made with the members and the company. But, this blessing gave me strength and courage. I thought about how and when I should reveal the news but I didn’t want to wait any longer so I am carefully revealing it to you all now.
I am grateful to my members for genuinely supporting and congratulating me and to our fans for always showering us with insurmountable love. I will always be grateful for all of you and will continue to do my best in the position I am in.
Thank you always.
— Chen
