“He cheated on his girlfriend with 9 different people at the same time? Eww… "
"Is this the sentiment that is agreed upon among EXO fans?"
"I really understand this"
“I think EXO is perfect with just Baekhyun, Suho, D.O., Xiumin, Sehun, and Kai. Please go "
"SM will never listen to their fans"

In October 2020, Chanyeol was indeed busy talking after being suspected of secretly dating and even being claimed to be having an affair by his own ex-girlfriend who claimed to have been dating him for 3 years.
However, in May 2021, SM Entertainment firmly confirmed that the rumors targeting one of its artists were false and would take firm action against the perpetrators. Chanyeol has also expressed his apology, before finally deciding to enlist in the military on March 29 and is expected to return on September 28, 2022. (www.kpopchart.net)
