Korean netizens are reacting to Chen's use of a particular song at his wedding ceremony.

On an online forum, the heart of the debate focused on Chen's decision to incorporate EXO's song "Don't Go" into a live string performance at his wedding. The specific issue raised by fans and netizens involves the original meaning of the song, as "Don't Go" was conceived as a 'fan song' in 2013 to symbolize a growing relationship between EXO and their fanbase, EXO-Ls.

Given this context, the Korean title of the song, "Butterfly Girl," made one of the most searched phrases on X (Twitter) in Korea.

On the social media outlet, netizens left comments such as:

"'Peter Pan,' 'Angel,' and 'Don't Go' are exclusive fan songs. I'm appalled at the thought of having such a song performed at a wedding. It was an improper choice. Switching the song to 'Miracles in December' or something else would have led to less backlash."

"Such significant songs should remain untouched."

"I really don't care who holds a wedding ceremony or whatever. But upon hearing 'Don't Go,' it filled me with rage."

Several fans also pointed out Xiumin's previous affirmation on the importance of "Don't Go," underscoring its role in exclusively connecting EXO with EXO-Ls in the clip below.

More netizen reactions include:

"I'm not even a fan of EXO but this is shocking lolol"
"This song is very special to EXO-Ls and, and even if it's his wedding, he should have shown care for the way this song has meaning to those outside this context"
"This is too much"

"The lyrics allude specifically to his fans only so I don't know why he had to choose this song to play at this wedding"
"A fan song at his personal wedding...?"
"Gone too far"
"Why didn't he just do like 'Best Luck' or something"
"What people need to understand is that fans still accepted Chen either way even after all that news and buzz surrounding EXO ever since his sudden announcement of his wife's pregnancy, but he isn't even showing any gesture of care for the fans that made an effort to understand him"

"He is asking for a controversy"
"This live performance was part of a medley but...I understand why y'all are mad"
"I'm not a fan but I understand their anger"

"Amazing"
