Yes, we all know the EXO’s Chen is a daddy to one baby girl now, but who expected to see news of him and his wife expecting a second child so soon?
On November 16, 2021, Newsen first reported that the “Call Me Baby” singer’s wife is pregnant with their second child, which was later confirmed by SM Entertainment. This news comes during Chen’s military enlistment period, and a year after the birth of their first child.
EXO-Ls and K-Pop fans were shocked at the sudden news, and immediately sent their warmest congratulations to the couple. Fans also looked back at the EXO member’s appearance at South Korean reality show “The Return of Superman”, where he said that wanted to have a girl and a boy in the future.

CHEN wanted to have a daughter and a son.
Now that he's expecting a second baby, I hope it's a boy.
Omo, it's so good to know that he's living his personal life, unbothered and happy!
Congratulations Kim Jongdae. Happy for you, CHEN hyung. @weareoneEXO #EXO pic.twitter.com/5vkK0nLhTg

Well, EXO’s Chen really did embody the demo version of their song “Call Me Baby”. (Yes, it was called “Call Me Daddy” for the song’s demo). Anyway, congratulations to Chen and his little family! You’re all going to be so cute in the future. (Chen for The Return of Superman please).
