* AnimalMotif: A dinosaur. Some fans compared him to [[CatSmile a cat]].
* AmicableExes: The premise of ''Beautiful goodbye'' is the singer wanting to have a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin beautiful goodbye]], ahem, breakup, with his lover. Chen himself admits that he wouldn't actually associate the word "beautiful" with goodbye, and that he doesn't know how to make a goodbye seem "beautiful".

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Green for his promotions with Music/{{EXOCBX}}.
* MistakenForForeigner: Not so much in South Korea in the present day due to his ''massive'' popularity domestically, but he's often assumed to be Chinese due to his Chinese stage name and the fact that he initially debuted in China as part of EXO-M.
* NoPronunciationGuide: Though at a glance, you'll know that "Chen" is read as ''chen'', in Chinese it's actually pronounced somewhere in between ''chon'' and ''chun''. He pronounces it in its Chinese pronunciation when doing Chinese promotions.
