NSD REACT | A GUIDE TO EXO'S LAY

[@milindawilson9175]

Lay is one of the most famous celebrities in China right now, so everyone wants to work with him. He owns his own record label/studio in China and he produces his own music, as well as music for other artists. Plus, he is, or was, a youth ambassador to China appointed by the government, which means he has a lot of obligations in China. He is considered China's national producer. He is also an actor and he is a spokesperson for a lot of Chinese products and causes -- he is the EXO member with the most endorsement deals. He is also a host of reality programs and is appearing on numerous variety shows in China, so this all keeps him very busy. He is one of the most sought after celebrities in China so he spends a lot of time living in China and away from the other EXO members. Because of his super busy schedule and because of some issues between the Chinese and Korean government, Lay has not been a part of EXO activities for more than 3 years now, other than his cameo appearance in the "Tempo" MV and his brief vocal part in the Mandarin version of "Tempo" MV and song. His hiatus from EXO is not something he has chosen, but its something that has sort of been forced upon him by the government. So he has recently been working hard to find ways around those restrictions, which explains one reason why he has been releasing so many English songs lately. By producing songs in English for the U.S. market it allows him and SM to do collaboration projects which give him a chance to keep his connection to EXO, without actually breaking any rules, and it allows SM to connect the stories in his MVs to EXO's storyline. Now, I am no where near an expert on the topic, and I admit that I only understand a very minor part of what is going on between the Chinese and Korean government, but as I understand it, part of the reason for the ban on Chinese and Korean workers between the two countries is that China is refusing to align itself with the U.S. or South Korea to protect themselves with deployment of the THAAD missile defense system in South Korea. North Korea and China want to get rid of the rocket system that is meant to shoot down a nuclear missile if North Korea were to launch one at South Korea or the U.S. Another reason why China doesn't like the THAAD system is because China and the U.S. don't have the best relationship, so if the U.S. and China become on even worse terms China is afraid the U.S. could also use THAAD against them. China says the THAAD system is just provoking them to actually start a nuclear war, and until they remove it or at least move it back from the South Korean boarder, they will continue their ban on Korean products, workers and the Hallyu wave from working in China and for its native Chinese citizens from working with Korean companies. China feels like the Korean government is taking away its native commodities by allowing Chinese people to work in Korea. The issue is even more complicated than this, but that is one part of it. And now, with the recent conflict with the Chinese government and Hong Kong, more political tension has continued to make it difficult for our Chinese Idols to work with their Korean companies and groups. With many Chinese Idols recently coming out in support of the Chinese government and publicly supporting "One China," this has made it once again even less likely that Lay will be able to work with EXO in the near future. With Lay's deep ties to the Chinese government and with the fact that he is one of the most popular celebrities in China right now, he can't afford to be blacklisted by the Chinese government. He needs to be able to work and live in China as freely as possible. So, regardless of how he might feel politically on a personal level, he has to come out in support of the Chinese government publicly, which puts him at odds with many other counties views on the subject. With pressure from the Chinese government, it may have been difficult for him to stay neutral, or at least not make his opinion public, so unfortunately he is now receiving some backlash from people outside of mainland China. But no matter what, Lay always makes sure to find a way to show fans that he is, and will always be, a member of EXO -- he is always supporting his EXO brothers even from afar. Most recently we were able to see Lay back together with the rest of EXO when Lay came to Korea to be there for the day that D.O. enlisted in the military. And in most of Lay's solo work we have nods to EXO and how the stories in his solo MVs are connected to EXO's storyline. He always works hard to remind everyone how important EXO and EXO-Ls are to him. He is one of the top dancers in the industry and its his solo work where he really gets to showcase what an amazing dancer he really is. He is the main dancer of EXO-M and he is the counterpart to Kai's role in EXO-K Kai and Lay are both main dancers, lead vocalists and sub-rappers in their EXO units so its no surprise that Lay is an amazing dancer. 🤩 That is why most of the time when you see solo dance breaks in EXO concerts you will see Lay and Kai dancing together because they are 2 of the top dancers in the industry and they were meant to fill similar roles in their respective sub-units in EXO. Lay is known as one of the hardest working artist in the industry because he is such a perfectionist and he pretty much does it all himself.When it comes to his solo work If you look at the credits for his albums, Lay actually wrote and composed and produced the whole album himself, including the English lyrics. Yes I am sure he had consultants who helped him find the right words, but if you know him, you know that there is almost nothing that he is involved in that he doesn't have 100% control of himself. When it comes to Lay's solo work he does it all himself -- he writes, composes and produces the songs (including the rap sections), he has a large part in choreographing the dances and he has a hand in coming up with and directing the MVs. There really is almost nothing he can't do. That's including learning English so he could make a crossover into the U.S. music market. Lay was the first EXO member to have a solo career and last year, he became the first EXO member to make his U.S. debut and he produced his first all English album. "Namanana" was a half English/half Mandarin album and it was his American debut release as part of his U.S. tour and promotions. Every Mandarin song on his "Namanana" album has an all English version. He followed that album up with "Honey" which also has an all English version. Because Lay is not allowed to promote in Korea right now, SM has found a way to promote Lay as part of EXO's storyline by partnering with him to release English songs and to tie his MVs in with EXO's story. Everything EXO does, including several of Lay's solo releases ties into the fact that he is a member of EXO -- its SM's way of making sure that even though he might not be able to work with the members right now, that they still make sure to show fans that his storyline and presence as part of EXO is still really important to both Lay and SM. I think people misunderstand Lay (Zhang Yixing) sometimes when they first see him because he often comes off as kind of aloof and standoffish and super serious, but what more people need to understand is that, if you get to know him, you will soon find it's because he is very dedicated and committed to what he does and he always wants to show his best self at all times. In reality he is kind of shy and doesn't like to have a lot of attention on himself. When you hear Lay's song "Sheep" you will discover that he is our "China Sheep -- the lead sheep in China." So he has two sides to him and that's what makes him a sheep -- soft, kind and cute, and powerful and dedicated. He is an all around personality that really is the whole package. 🤩 And he is one of the kindest, nicest, sweetest, hardest working people you will ever meet, and all he wants to do is take care of people. 😍 And this is also why Lay's EXO superpower, being the ability to heal everything, is perfect because it fits his personality well.

[@zel_ni_kai_at_ken]

OMG I was gonna type a whole long comment about Lay and it seems that I don’t need to. Thank you for the effort of giving an in depth narrative about our Yixing.

[@kritikakumari4034]

thank you soo much for the information :)

[@zhanganna7197]

woww.. I love you for that explanations.. 😘

[@salma-ns4lg]

woah thank you, so is there a chance lay will ever come back to exo?

[@milindawilson9175]

@@salma-ns4lg We don't really know. Everyone wants him to, including him. But right now it doesn't look likely any time soon. Until we have world peace or until we have better leaders in place with a better ability to compromise and find common ground, it looks as though our Chinese idols, such as Lay, Zhoumi from Super Junior and Victoria from F(x) won't be able to work with their groups any time soon. However Lay is a very important part of EXO's storyline, as well as a member of the group. As you saw in the "Obsession" MV the world is on fire and everything seems to be coming to an end as EXO and X-EXO battle for control. Many think the only way that things can be fixed is if Lay uses his power of healing to heal everything and reunite the two halves of the Tree of Life. So even if he isn't able to work directly with the group, SM will most definitely be creating more content with him to connect his story with EXO's larger storyline and in that we will see him making connections to his members and the group. EXO will always be OT9.

[@bluejoons]

actually when bts first debuted taehyuung was known for looking like baekhyun and everyone said baekhyun was like his dad it was a joke in korea and baekhyun and taehyung actually became good friends because of it theyve posted a couple pictures together where they look a lot alike. i think the similarity mostly comes from them both having boxy smiles lol.

[@KSS352]

Lay and EXO members visit each other when they can...usually during their promotions! Lay is one of my favorite people in K-pop. He is just so very kind and he is so passionate about his music. He really deserves the world.

[@squishypenguin9291]

Can you imagine how horrible is the fact that he is not able to promote with his members because of the political issues?(even more horrible because we already lost other chinese members) It's just so sad, but we EXO-Ls trust him, and it's soooo beautiful to see how strong their relationship are, sometimes that makes me cry. He's a VERY kind person. Always care about his fans and his members the most. He always says that he's part of the EXO (even it's not safe for him to say that), because he knows very well how EXO-L felt sad and desperate when we lost the members, and many people said (and still say) that he will leave EXO too, but he always denies that. Another amazingly talented idol, that care about someone he loves and he has a passion about what he does. (Sorry if my english is bad)

[@momaroria15]

Lay is one of the most popular idols in China... he is also involved in politics in a way bcs he is the ambassador for the Hunan (his home town) communits youth league... That means he is expected more than other idols to act patriotic towards China. All that + some other factors means the chinese public is very ready to turn on him the moment he shows any sign of not being loyal to china... Like promoting with a korean group when kpop banned in China...

[@yts2103]

the crazy girl Kpop ain’t banned in China tho hahaha its just not shown on government operated tv channels. Weibo has trended tons if idols like exo black pink twice kang Daniel bts GOT7 etc in the past year. Koop idols lik heechul and Lim yoona were invited to an event not too long ago, too. It’s just less shown because they don’t put them on tv now, but album and songs are still available to buy and stream in music listening apps. (Made this comment so people don’t misunderstand lmao)

[@momaroria15]

@@yts2103 True, the bans have been lifter little by little in the past year or so. Also this is CHINA we are talking about... not all things need to be said out loud. Tell me when was the last time a Korean idol promoted in mainland china? A long fucking time ago isn't it! Well actually EXO-SC had ONE fansign in Mainland china this year and that was the first time korean idols have promoted in mainland china in about 2 years.

[@GemmaPita]

Yeesss!!! Next up is our Leader Suho!!! We call him a divorced mom with 8 kids because EXO's dad was Kris, who was the EXO-M leader and the first member to leave EXO. So now Suho is left alone taking care of 8 of the kids while Kris took custody of the other 2 (the other two chinese members that left after Kris). There are a lot of funny KZbin compilations about the fan theory of them being the parents.

[@anetasz7759]

I love him as a mentor in Idol Producer. He was so funny but at the same time so kind and helpful for trainiees

[@shyamaprasadbanerjee2659]

[@Raz6789]

Yixing was the PD in the Chinese survival show Idol Producer and Qing Chun You Ni (aka. Idol Producer season 2) . Also side note: Jackson Wang was a mentor of Season 1 of Idol Producer. While Xu Minghao(The8) from SEVENTEEN was a mentor on season 2.

[@stara8156]

Lay❤️ I miss him 😭

[@Monbebesaurus]

My bias😭😭! Yixing is so talented, and such a sweetheart. I really wish he could be with Exo in 2020 because I really miss seeing them together. Also in Chinese 'zh' is pronounced as a 'j' so his last name is pronounced as jong, or atleast that's what I've heard. That is the best way I can explain it. 10:04 They're trying to remember his face while I'm over here feeling attacked. Sky said where is my snack at? 31:46

[@jelise_11]

actually is pronounced it like 'chang'

[@allysonwolf5721]

Actually a lot of people say V looks like Baekhyun because Baekhyun is older then V and I thought the same thing they even wore the same jacket once

[@nadiar.4638]

If you put their old pictures next to each other you can really see it. Nowadays its a little more difficult to see, but they still have some of the same features

[@allysonwolf5721]

You should react to Lay in america or on different interviews in America

[@siboykafka2752]

Lay is our China's sheep! He is a great singer, producer and great dancer next to Kai. Unfortunately he is doing solo act in china (under SM china). He collaborated with western artist such as Alan Walker. He is huge in china and just won producer of the year and most popular singer. And this guy right here just received a 113B Won offer but rejected it just to stay with his brothers. Imagine how huge his love for them. I hope one day he will perform with our boys. I miss him!

[@pran1516]

Yixing was in Kung Fu Yoga as the assistant of Jackie Chan.

[@erifckingchan]

react to his songs!!! he produced all of his songs and he is just so fckin talented. He is one of the most hardworking person we always worry abt him not getting an enough sleep bc he is just so busy and always works.

[@aeriosety9058]

I miss Lay so much 😭❤️

[@erifckingchan]

within only 2 yrs he got really big in China literally China is so big and there is so many successful artists and its just so hard to be famous, but he became one of the most successful Chinese artists with his own produced musics and albums its just so crazy. HE IS KING OF CHINAAA

[@xingfly5250]

He is so different right now.. he has improved so much, i know you have react to "LIT" by him, and i'm sure now you know his quality.. he is amazing singer, dancer, and producer

[@nadiar.4638]

The disease he has "haemophilia" is actually quite dangerous. It stops your blood from clotting, so you will not get a scab on a wound. In the past you would just bleed out whenever you got a small cut of even if you got hurt without a wound. Normally you would get a bruise (small internal bleeding) but if your blood doesnt clott you will keep bleeding on the inside. Nowadays they have medication that makes it manageable, but in the past not many people with haemophilia made it into their teens 🙁

[@itstimetohajima9524]

i wish you guys watched a more updated version, Lay has done so much in 3 years of being away from exo, he holds so many positions with the gov of china, released alotta of successful albums that he mostly composed, he had one with steve aoki, so many endorsements like CK, converse, valentino, samsung and etc.. hes had alot of dramas, one of them with jackie chan, gotten so many awards and performed in the grammy. Hes improved and acheived so much

[@exo-l_kwt3544]

Can you reaction to lay honey and namanana

[@Nani-0613]

Lay has hemophilia and I think because he has to take medication amd stuff he tends to look like he's high or spaced out, but he's a really talented singer and dancer. Lay has the biggest hear, he's one of the nicest and he can paly multiple instruments plus he's funny and has the cutest smile, laugh and dimples along with Chanyeol EXO (EXO planet) they have powers and Lay- Healing Unicorn Favorite EXO dancers Lay Sehun Kai

[@squishypenguin9291]

I think someone already said this, but you can check out a video called "BTS × EXO Exotan moments" and you'll find out how Baekhyun and V looked a like lol Baekhyun is V's mom😂 And that's soooo cute. Now you might not think they look a like, but that's because V changed a little bit (looks more mature?adult?), and Baekhyun didn't change that much (although he's 3 years older than V) Or maybe you don't think they look a like because you can't recognize Baekhyun's face yet😂 (Sorry if my english is bad)

[@kaiheart5601]

next SUHO leader of exo 🥰

[@sweetxlies6761]

There is also a short guide to the three former member maybe you can react to that. Even though they aren't a part of exo anymore they are still important to many exo-ls and are a part of exo's history.

[@junezi989]

Lay produced 3 albums within the last 3 years of his solo career. He had grown so much that the video can barely reflect. You guys should react to his most recent works to do him justice he deserves.

[@2188엘]

Lay is very influential in China. Since Thaad, Chinese netizens are very harsh on anything related to Korea. From 2016 to 2017/2018 anything korean is banned in chinese television. For example when showing clips of EXO in china, they blur the korean members faces because of the ban. Scheduled concert dates in China was cancelled. Though it has been lifted already since 2018, netizens still don't take kindly to anything related to korea yet. Once Lay posted a selfie of him and Sehun in the practice room, he was bashed and forced to take it down. Lay is too big in China for SM to risk ruining his reputation.

[@bae1768]

[@xiurim3784]

Every time lay come back to Korea he always travel again wearing the other members clothes... He is really loyal and the love each other, hanging out 💗

I always thought that baekyun looked like V anyways but baekhyun has kind like pudgy cheeks than V 😁😂 and went i got into exo I always got chanyeol and baekhyun mixed up because they sometimes have the same hairstyle, same hair color they look like brothers but one is taller than the other one ☺😂🤣

[@JojoCx3]

Lay is an ambassador of the Youth in China thus he can't join fully, he participated in Tempo for a few seconds only. ob btw, Lay and Chanyeol both don't know how to read the music sheet, they play piano just by listening to the music.

[@eunice2351]

The chinese gov banned to import certain Korean products and culture from 2016. It's loosen now but still, popular chinese kpop stars like Lay(he's really popular in China) are not allowed to promote Kpop and Kpop stars like Exo are not allowed to have concert in China. It's weird but...

[@Nani-0613]

Lay has health issues and it's so much on him to travel back and forth plus his music is in China and stuff same with EXO M Xiumin [ Luhan Kris] Chen (Lay Tao) Brackets are the Chinese members who got mistreated, or had health issues and like was never easy for them

[@naedumato]

Awe Lay, he is so precious! He is very famous in China and he is also an ambassador to some community which made him not participate with his EXO members since 2017 since there is a conflict between Korea and China... So yeah, but we EXO-Ls support him specially his solo stuff and still hoping that he will reunites with his EXO brothers very soon. You should react to his solo stuff. React to SHEEP, NAMANANA, HONEY :) Do Suho Guide next...

Ok i love that dog why haven’t you included him in your videos yeti need a separate video of him Who agrees 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@subilynnoweight2090]

Lay will always be preious to us for the fact that he cant be with the boys and for sticking with exo even when he got offered more greater deals that would benefit him way more yet he turns them down because he wrote and composed PROMISE for us when the other members left promising exo will stay together TT TT TT..He is very hard working and and loves dancing as much as Kai and Music as much as chanyeol and the fact that he is very famous in China while promoting by himself shows how much hard work and efforts he puts in his career as an exo member and as an artist..His song SHEEP is one of his hit songs which Alan Walker did a relift version of SHEEP together with lay :)I cant wait for you guys to check the solo stuff because his songs he made are bops as well as the first ones BAZZI help made for him. as of now Lay i can say for sure is the most one who can speak and understand english the most in EXO..We love our unicorn(power symbol), china's sheep, and worldwide Honey!

Not trying to compare. BTS can be successful together, but all members of EXO are famous in individual and solo promotions. D.O himself has fans that love his acting but don't know he is an EXO member (Suho and Kai too) and Lay is a very successful soloist in China. Every EXO member already received solo awards that just increase their number of awards. But you can't say that RM, Jin or J-hope can be successful whithout being associated with BTS 🤔 does that mean EXO are more famous?

[@nikenwidowati707]

@@lula7843 so true. BTS really focus on their groups than their solo career. That's why you couldnt see BTS doing some individual ads, they're always together.

Yep, sadly Lay won't return to Exo anytime soon, and politics is the reason. With him being a a Chinese national, and the current strained relations between S.Korea, China and the US, (you can blame THAAD, pretty much a missile defense /crisis) that Lay needs to lay low and not sympathize with S.Korea, and China loves Exo, but as of late they can visit each other, more on the secretive side, but not work together or bring attention to themselves, all eyes would be on them. Sucks big time.👎👎
