It’s such an inspirational quote. His original quote is in Chinese though and it’s “努力努力再努力” which translates to “Work hard, work hard, work even harder!”

[@cam0987]

[@kavyaeathakota940]

I am so extremely happy and proud of Zhang Yixing for doing this but at the same time I sincerely hope he gets to rest... He says he wants to work hard and do better for himself and and for his fans, but as a fan I just want him to rest and to have a vacation or something...he is working way too hard.

[@qlwl8721]

Yeah... Promoting in both china and the US must be even more exhausting.

[@mahrukhiqbal9859]

To think he can almost say everything he wants to say and can articulate his thoughts in English so well (when he could only say the basics) is such a huge improvement. So _so_ proud of him! 😭👏👏

[@Susan-32H]

Watch his recent online interview. He is close to fluency.

[@athenaktz2153]

He's so beautiful and cute and talented I love him with all my heart.

*I like big things* - Lay Zhang 2018

[@dslastari]

Yep! Give him a year, his English will be perfect n Lay Zhang will be ready for WORLD TOUR. 4 albums will be that full circle Xbacks have been waiting for. Anticipating Great Year ahead musician Zhang! No pressure 😆😄 (I come so early commenting this, where is everybody?)

[@TheRatana99]

dyah supraba before his world tour I wanna see him with his brothers first at their world tour :D

[@dslastari]

Ratana99 Totally agree. That would be lovely 😍

[@apollorollo7003]

He can have as much of my money as he needs

[@ayshafemin2098]

"Namanana" a new word to idol dictionary, it represents big moooood😉

[@tdk1236]

Lay literally carries so much on his back, he is always pushing himself to do better, his improvements through these years are so crazy, not to mention his schedule in china was always so packed. He is such an amazing guy

[@ferdaousbouzaiane3589]

I cried

[@thelightestdivine1852]

I’ve been hoping that once Yixing can get back kicking gears with EXO, EXO can have more opportunities to go to America since they now have a pretty fluent English speaker besides Junmyeon. I’m really proud of Yixing and how far he’s come

[@jaykay8525]

The Lightest Divine ikr that's what I thought about before. Maybe if more exo-L's support him then that would create some sort of foundation for the whole of Exo to succeed in the American market as well. Having an English speaking member who's fluent could be a huge deal for us all as a fandom. But over all pleased that he's getting closer and closer to reaching his dreams. He deserves every single thing he's achieved. I applaud and respect him for his hard work. Got this man's back for as long as I live! 💪🏻❤️

[@thelightestdivine1852]

Jay Kay you right. I couldn’t agree more. Tempo is doing pretty damn good in America and all the guys went to Hawaii so that’s more recognition. It sucks with the laws in China and if those laws were lifted, itd be a damn miracle

[@EliTasrev]

@@thelightestdivine1852 What laws? (I'm sorry, I'm new to Lay and Exo, so I don't know)

[@Whitney2011100]

E G right now there is a lot of political tension between Korea and China and Lay has a lot of influence in China as a celebrity so he is unable to promote with his korean group EXO

[@oneandonlyquintuplemillion3792]

@eg Korea and China are walking on thin ice after US plan of putting up THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) system in Korea and Korea agreed to it. THAAD is advanced anti ballistic missile system that it angered China. NoKor is Chin's ally and SoKor is US ally. Korea suspend the plan after China implemented Hallyu ban and kind of economic sanctions so now China is allowing anything related to Korean entertainment after thorough government screens. Lay is huge in China and involved in various philanthropic activities so he has to be careful otherwise people wouldcall him traitor if he just head on to fully promote in Korea.

[@holo6670]

Lay: You can kiss anybody...right? Int: On New Year? Yeah Yeah (not impressed, why is he asking?) Lay: So if you don't have anybody, you can kiss???? (a pure soul tries to grasp this concept) Int: (in this #metoo-world better make sure to stress the obvious) Weeeeell you should ask first Lay: (that face he makes) OMG,OMG ...(my innocent brain can't handle your outgoing lifestyle) (i couldn't even look at girltrainees back at SMstation and you are telling me, strangers KISS????) (so much freedom) (brain explosion)... Lay: It is dope! Amazing! *laughs classic Lay laugh* (that face he makes, again) HAHAHA you pure thing!!!

How is this man making me fall for him even harder than before?! Is it even possible?!

[@GiovannaFlammia]

Lay’s English is getting better and better. Once he sets out a goal he completes it. So when he goes on a solo tour or a tour with EXO he will probably do more of the speaking to the fans. So proud of this guy! He is truly talented and honestly a heartthrob.

Seeing him smile makes me really happy ❤️hope that all your dreams come true my talented bias . I will love and support u forever ❤️❤️❤️

[@AteezheadlinesMAWAZINE]

Lay is so refreshing. He doesn't try to take a few minutes to mask his answers he just answers how he feels. I bought ATEEZ ep and I'm getting Lay's because I want to support their futures. If anyone knows of a better place than Ebay for a physical copy please let me know. I've had a hard time finding physical copies in the US and I don't know if they Ebay copy counts (Billboard stats) and I want the cd to count. Also Lay, I can send you my number if you want to practice English. On second thought, never mind. I think China would be roaming for me.

[@julialll7791]

Maybe the nicest person on earth

He is just so cute my lord, I love him so much. This baby needs to always be happy and loved uwu

[@3minutes1second39]

To think that he would be distraught to ever dissapoint his fans be it as small as it be absolutely hit me hard. He could NEVER EVER disspoint us. He has our utmost respect and loyalty. He works hard everyday just to become "perfect" not knowing he already is! Anyone whos as sincere and strong as Lay has my full admiration. He's so talented and even if i can't imagine him being anymore perfect he goes on to prove me wrong. This man will go down as a legend.

This is what really artists are made of, if you produce something you don't get tired of it and you promote it in every other way, when you know uve been working hard for something, there's no need to think about others answers but the ones you get from your own work.
