Following the breaking announcement, Chen faced negative criticism from fans who were blindsided by the news. On February 19 KST, Chen wrote an apology letter, and fans have been using the hashtags #ChenWeLoveYou, #종대야_여기_있을게 (Jongdae we'll stay here), and Jongdae to show their support, stating:
Chen has yet to make more announcements regarding the birth of his child and his marriage to his fiancee. Many fans have been continuing to show their support for the idol in the midst of the ongoing situation.
