Chen, the lead vocalist for K-pop boy band Exo, has come under fire again, this time for releasing a soundtrack for the television romance series Do You Like Brahms? He had previously faced calls to quit the group since he got married and his wife gave birth.

Chen’s sentimental song Your Moonlight was rated 1.5 out of 5 on Korean streaming site Melon as of Wednesday afternoon. The score is far lower than those of other soundtracks – Punch’s Close To Me and God’s Confession received 3.9 and 4.3 points, respectively.

More than 16,000 people have rated Chen’s song, leaving some 4,500 comments – mostly negative opinions about the singer.

“You dealt a blow to Exo’s image and hamper other members’ activities … leave the group and do whatever you like,” one online user wrote.
