Public scrutiny of former EXO members' families
Overview
Public attention has focused on the family lives of former EXO members.
Singer Chen has faced scrutiny in South Korea since announcing his marriage and fatherhood in 2020. Despite marrying officially in 2023, he and his family have faced criticism from segments of his fanbase. Recent sightings of Chen with his wife and daughter have drawn public interest.
Similarly, former member Tao and his wife, Xu Yiyang, have sparked social media speculation in China after posting photos of themselves with a child. The images have led to renewed scrutiny regarding the couple’s family life and previous allegations concerning a surrogate mother, which the couple has denied through legal counsel. While Tao acknowledged his relationship with Xu in July 2024 and married her in December 2024, the couple has not officially confirmed or denied the existence of children.
