However, once the fan meeting began, something marred what should have been a happy day.
During the initial fan meeting opening VCR, each member was shown and met with loud cheering as they appeared.
When Chen and Chanyeol showed up in the VCR, fans in the venue went primarily silent, besides a few yelling to make up for the silence.

Chen and Chanyeol have received massive hate from fans over the last few years. Chanyeol was the target of cheating allegations that led netizens to launch full-blown attacks against the EXO member. In Chen’s case, some fans demanded he leave the group after he announced he would be getting married to his pregnant fiancé in 2019 and have protested his activities since.
International fans have been loud in showing their support for the pair, as domestic fans attempted to have both expelled from the group.
International EXO-Ls Band Together To Block Attempts At Chen’s Removal From EXO
After what occurred during the fan meeting, international fans are again showing support for Chanyeol and Chen.
I literally cried today because of the silence that greeted chen and chanyeol. imagine spending so many bucks to go to the fanmeeting (not even concert) of people you won't cheer for. they spoke formally, and performed well. but the way kexols acted was fucking immature.

Some have even suggested that SM Entertainment tour the group outside Korea, where fans will “scream for all of them.”
