Thanks for another EXO reaction, guys. People jokingly call him "LayShawn". LOL He's one of EXO's Main Dancer. Don't know if you guys realized there was no subs cause the whole song is in English. LOL Lay is EXO's Chinese member and he dances just as well as Kai. Today's EXO's 10th Anniversary! Stay safe!
Wrong
Black fans gave him that name as a 'black name' bc he did brilliant representation of black culture and apart of black culture is a "barbecue" and exo especially Lay r always invited
@@rachelBradyni Hello. I already knew that. I thought that's what I said in my original post. I said some fans rather than just black ones gave him that nickname. Moreover, he's not the only Exo member to be invited to the barbeque. 😁
@@TheHockeywitch Clearly u didn't say that
Black people named him that period
And like I JUST said EXO ESPECIALLY LAY HAVE BEEN INVITED
Child read
@@rachelBradyni Ok. That's fine. Thanks for the info. And I do read Korean and English fluently. Please don't assume & call someone a "child" without knowing anything about a person. I'm a Korean -American woman in her early fifties. LOL
Take care of yourself & stay safe!
@@TheHockeywitch Then don't act like one kid and I'm Korean-Chinese...And? No one cares about that, makes 0 difference
Bye
FYI, Lay is the Chinese member of exo. He's one of the main dancer(like Kai), lead rapper and lead vocals. He's a multitalented man like any exo of the members.
Lay can dance ??? off course he is
He become main dancer of EXO for a reason
And he’s one of the top and best dancer in the industry, there’s no joke for this !!!
What timing, LAY just left SM but still with EXO and happy 10 years anniversary to EXO and EXOLS all over.
We love our EXO boys. Thank you for the reaction AMP :)
Please

Yey honey! Pls react to his other mv "LIT" that was really fire🔥🔥🔥 hes one hell talented dude!!
Lay is amazing, right!!!! He's one of EXO's main dancer. Lay, Kai and Sehun.
Y'all know it, every EXO member is quality.
Happy 10th anniversary, EXO! 🥰
I’m sure you’ve realized by now, but Lay is in EXO! He’s a main dancer and the only Chinese member.
He’s one of the most successful solo artist in China. He raps, sings, dances, acts, produces, lyricist, director, model, author, plays multiple instruments, choreographs, business mogul/ CEO of his own company, global ambassador and I’m sure there’s more I’m forgetting lol. We call him EXOs most hard working member, he’s crazy talented and exols are so proud of him 🤧🥰
Lay is one of the best kpop and Cpop dancers
"Honey" is another one of Lay's solo English songs and it's in English because it was a follow up to his previous album Namanana. (Namanana was Lay's 2018 U.S. debut album so all the songs on that album have a Mandarin and an all English version.) You heard Lay listening to his song "Give Me a Chance" on his earbuds at the beginning of the "Honey" MV and that is one of his songs and MVs from his Namanana album.
Because Lay was not allowed to promote in Korea at this time due to the issues between the Chinese and Korean government, SM found a way to promote him 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 -- such as "Sheep," "Namanana" and "Honey" -- all tie into the fact that he is a member of EXO. It's SM's way of making sure that even though he might not be able to work with the members, that they show fans that his storyline and presence as part of EXO is still really important to Lay and SM.
When it comes to EXO, one thing you have to keep in mind is that absolutely everything they are involved in is connected to their concept and storyline, including a majority of the members' solo work. So, the story in Lay's "Honey" MV is just another piece of EXO's story.
To explain the story in "Honey," some fan theories say that the fact that the weather lady on the TV is talking about the changing weather and the pressure system could be a nod to the unsettled conditions within EXO's current storyline and how currently the members are struggling to distance themselves from the Red Force, etc. And because you hear her speaking with a British accent this might be a clue to tell us where Lay is right now within EXO's storyline, and it might explain why the other EXO members seem to be sending him messages -- as we see with the bee and the blackout, etc.
Some theories say, the mechanical bee has been sent by either one or more of the EXO members or it could be sent by the Red Force. The bee is either a message or a warning sent to Lay (although I am not sure what that exact message is.) And I think, the fact that the bee passes through the glass, might be Kai using his power of teleportation to allow it to pass through it -- or more like, transported to the other side of the glass.
And then the lights in the entire city go out as if in a blackout, which I think might be Baekhyun using his power, which is the ability to control light, or Chen, who has the ability to control electricity. Plus, as Lay's power counterpart, it makes sense that Baekhyun would feel the pull to want to find Lay. Chen is a member of EXO-M along with Lay, so he would also have a heightened reason to want to find Lay.
EXO needs Lay to help protect them and to heal all the things that are going on around them. And Kai's whole mission is to find the other EXO members and bring them back together to stop the Red Force.
Also, I think it's interesting that Lay, as a member of EXO, has the power of healing, and honey is known for its natural homeopathic healing and medicinal properties. And in parts of the MV we see Lay submerged in a pool of honey, almost as if he might be using it to recharge and gain strength. I have no idea what this all means, but I just thought it was an interesting parallel.
If you notice the part of the choreography where Lay is standing in the middle and the dancers are all round him as he spins around, I am pretty sure that is supposed to be depicting a flower as it blooms which is what is attracting the "bee" to him. :D
On the flip side, the story in the song also is saying that Lay is a bee and he is looking for his "honey" that's why he is in a honeycomb/beehive or in a pool of honey the whole time. I think what he is saying in the lyrics is that "Be my honey and be available to me when I want you, but 'please don't catch no feelings' because you have to know that we can have fun together, but I can't invest all my time and energy into you the way I should if we were in a relationship." In other words, he is too busy and too popular to be exclusive right now. He needs to keep the girl at a safe distance for both of their emotional safety, etc.
This also plays into the theory within EXO's storyline that the "girl" is a manifestation of the heart of the Tree of Life and that is why the members of EXO are always rescuing or protecting the girl, etc. And why all of EXO's songs are about being in love with a girl or being controlled by the power of the girl. Which could possibly explain the lyrics in "Honey." If you think of the girl as the heart, it might explain why Lay "wants her" but needs to keep her at a distance to protect her, etc. When you think of her as the heart of the Tree of Life, you begin to see even more parallels to EXO's story and even more ways to connect it all together.
Did you notice the spinning honeycomb in the middle of the MV? That spinning honeycomb is a nod to the fact that even as a solo artist, he is still part of EXO. The hexagon is EXO's symbol and if you pay close attention to that spinning honeycomb, you will see that it says EXO in the middle as it spins. So this is Lay's and SM's way of making sure that we never forget that he is part of EXO and that even if he isn't able to work with the group, he still makes sure to show just how important they are to him.
As you can see, EXO's MVs are more complex than what you see on the surface. However, often -- although the stories in the MVs are loosely based on the lyrics -- many times the story in the MV and the lyrics in the song are two separate things. The lyrics don't necessarily always go with the story in the MV. Often EXO's songs are about being in love with a girl and wanting to be with her, but the story in the MV is about them working to complete their mission and to fight against the Red Force, etc. Everything EXO does has many layers and it has multiple means and messages, including any of the member's solo work. There are always two levels to every EXO song, one designed to grab the casual listener that has no idea about EXO's storyline, and one that, if you look deeper, you discover has hidden meanings and messages that all connects to EXO's mission here on Earth.
Lay is a trendsetter in China. The things he does with his music and career is not like what most Chinese artists are doing. Among many things, he is breaking ground by being one of the very first Chinese artists to ever chart in the U.S. For the sheer fact that he is Asian and making a name for himself outside of the Asian music market is trendsetting. He is breaking new ground in the music industry with every new release he has.
For any of us that know EXO, and especially Lay, "Honey" is kind of exactly what we would expect from him. This is just the sexy, cool kind of song and amazing choreography that Lay is known for. All the guys want to be him and all the girls want to be with him. If you look at the credits for this album, Lay, once again wrote and composed and produced this song and the whole album himself, including the English lyrics. He even created the beats himself. And he also helped choreograph and direct the MV, etc. It is also all financed by him. He even owns his own production company called Zhangyixing Studios, which is named after Lay. (Zhang Yixing is Lay's real name. Lay is a stage name given to him by SM Entertainment.) When it comes to Lay's solo work he pretty much does it all himself. He has a hand in all aspects of his solo projects. And that is why he is known as China's national producer.
Lay is one of the top dancers in the industry and it's his solo work where he really gets to showcase what an amazing dancer he really is. He literally spends at least 6 hours in the dance studio every day and that's usually after he has completed a full slate of activities as an idol and head of his company, such as filming variety shows, acting, filming commercials, promoting products, running his companies, etc. You should check out the documentary he did for the TV show Only 3 Days, th-cam.com/video/V0jjBXQKhk4/w-d-xo.html, to really see how hard he works.
Lay has been a main producer/coach and trainer on numerous Idol trainee survival reality TV shows in China where he helps to prepare trainees as they complete for a spot in a new C-pop group. And he has even started his own Idol trainee company in China called Chromosome where he is passing on his talents to the next generation. (And he's not just the face of his companies, he is hands-on with everything he does.) He was even a team captain on the dance competition show Street Dance of China season 3 in 2020 and season 4 in 2021 where he competed with and against some the top street dancers from around the world. He is one of the most well respected singers, dancers and music producers in China.
If you like his dancing, you have to check out Lay's dance practice video for "Honey."
Lay (Zhang Yixing) is a PHENOMENAL dancer! He's a main dancer for EXO. Was a captain on Street Dance of China for seasons 3 and 4 (2020, 2021). He did an amazing collab with Jason Derulo and NCT127, Let's Shut Up and Dance, which was an MJ tribute. You should check it out!

Lay built and officially announced his own agency called Chromosome Entertainment which was listed in August 2020 and Lay Zhang is listed as ceo and major shareholder
My favorite line in the whole song= “ Harry Potter girl i got the magic wand” 💀
Zhang Yixing (Chinese name) known professionally as Lay Zhang or simply Lay, is a Chinese singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, actor, and businessman. He later debuted as a member of the K-pop boy group Exo under SM Entertainment in 2012.
Lay is main dancer same KAI in EXO
King Lay from China!
Another King from EXO😊
lay is sooooooo talented i love him
Although the contract with SM Entertainment has been finalized, he remains a part of EXO, he and his agency are always ready if EXO needs him. It was a pleasure to hear Lay's conversation with the EXO members on the song "JIU" that Lay had just released on EXO's 10th anniversary.

It would be super cool to see y'all check out Lay's mv for Lit!! He spent over 1 mil on it!!
"EXO works hard but lay hyung works harder." - -Exo chanyeol
And I agree he is a workaholic perfectionist. He is the first Exo member to release his solo albums back in 2016 and so far he had released 4 solo albums which he composed and produced himself with his team and in 2020 he officially opened his own entertainment in China called Chromosomes entertainment which is not a surprise that he didn't renew his sm contract a few days ago. But he is still with EXO, and guys this year is EXO'S contracts with Sm will expire so we will see who stays and who leaves. But one things for sure, EXO WILL ALWAYS BE 9✨💞
Thanks Thanks Thanks
Yixing ejemplo de que con esfuerzo todo se puede 💞
Lay Zhang is the only remaining Chinese member of EXO although he's announced his departure from SM Entertainment at the expiration of his 10-year contract.
Fact is this multi-talented artist is the king of Mandarin-Pop! He composes, writes and produces his own music and MVs besides being an accomplished dancer, successful actor and ambassador for many luxury brands. Lay is also the CEO of his own entertainment agency, Chromosome Entertainment.
we definitely didn't sign for this either lol

He can't go to and work in korea bcs he is an important person in China. Now he is a CEO in China. He left SM agency and set up his own agency so he could comeback with EXO. By means of cooperation between the SM agency and his agency.
and this song Honey has almost the same pronountiation with mandarin words which is (和你 Hé nǐ = With You). And hexagonal is the symbol of Exo, and honeycomb is hexagonal.
And Lay is very rich and famous. He can dance verywell and he is one of a MC, judges, leader, and mentor of Dance Street of China and a lot of variety shows.

It's a beautiful song and as an EXO fan, you should know it.

Hey guys, actually Lay is a EXO member and you kind of did a EXO SEXO FRIDAY lol. He has a music video with Jason Derulo named “Let’s Shut Up & Dance”. This is a Michael Jackson Tribute song. You should definitely check this out. Lay is separated from EXO for 5-6 years now due to political problems between South Korea and China (he is Chinese btw). But he came back to EXO with “Don’t Fight The Feeling” last year. And you should check his other solos like “Lit” and “Namanana”. I know I write too much so I will stop here. Btw thank you for your reaction and please keep supporting our boys!!
