Kai Tian (Opening the Heaven) references Pangu, the mythical figure described as having “the head of a snake and the body of a dragon”.The song was released on January 1, a date chosen to coincide with the transition from the Year of the Dragon to the Year of the Snake. In Chinese mythology, the universe was initially a chaotic, formless mass, like a giant egg. Inside this “egg” lived a being named Pangu. One day, Pangu woke up and determined to escape. He used a giant axe to strike the egg-like chaos, and separated heaven from earth. Eventually, Pangu grew exhausted and lay down. His eyes were transformed into sun and moon, ushering in the solar era, which explains Lay’s heterochromatic eyes in the MV. This links to the mismatched-eye motif seen on the cover of his album “莲” (Lit) and in the final scene of the “What Do You Need” MV from his first album “Lose Control”, where the left eye is briefly revealed as heterochromatic. The image of Pangu and the solar era also appeared in the teaser for Flying Apsaras. The “solar era” refers to a 12-year cycle, aligning with Lay’s 12th year since debut. Starting from January 1, it marks the beginning of his 13th year in the industry and the start of a new era - an era of Mpop. It feels like the conceptual framework Lay wants to present was already formed at the start of his solo career. Every step since then has been a building block for this grand system.

Wowww! Thankyou so much for this interesting info. These kind of concepts make me invest my time into their music. Exo and now lay's solo concepts are just mind blowing. You should write it below the MV so many fans can read it❤

Lay always makes the most creative and expensive MVs. I love how Lay incorporated the "suona" (traditional chinese horn) in the background. It really brings the song up to another level with its unique loud sound. Lay is really an amazingly talented music producer
