I will always remember and love my ot12, and I hope no one take this badly; but I'm happy because I know my dear Kris is happy now. And I'm sure that the guys are happy for him, too. Always Loving you and Supporting you my galaxy.
My heart sank when he said he doesn't talk to the boys anymore 😭 it's not //just// a group (for me at least) it's about their brotherhood that makes me saaaaaad
They are just co-workers. Just like any other co-worker, you have those who you are closer to than others. Also, like any other co-workers you can have fun while you're working together, but once you leave the job, you lose your reason for hanging out with them and you drift apart.
essenceofsoul27 yeah, sure. You see them as JUST ex/co-workers. But you know, they used to live together, used to train together, used to eat together, used to shower together, used to joke together, they used to be together and i don't know, but i think it is impossible to not grow/develop "fond" for each other.......as brothers......😭😭😭😭😭 I'm sorry but this is breaking my heart so much. It's been 3 years but I just can't.take.this.
Yet here we are. They are no longer speaking. People grow apart. It's life. For the record, you can be fond of co-workers as well. I'm sure he has fond memories of his time with them and the same for the others though.
It's how divorce works too right? Divorces happen and the relationship dies. You care and sometimes not even that but you grow distant for sure. It saddened me too but even if they were in touch he wouldn't mention it publicly yet. It would put EXO's reputation on line considering how K-netizens are always ready to attack. Just saying. Sigh. I wish though.
I think the communication was also cut off because of the company. It wouldnt be right if the members communicate to someone who has a lawsuit in the company they are working with.
I’m so happy for Kris because I know what he trying to say. In Exo show time you could see her face that he wasn’t happy to be in the group. And I don’t know why people surprise that he doesn’t talk with Exo, I mean it was been 4 years. But seriously thanks to Smtown and Exo he is more recognized. Kris fighting!
Isa Garcia he never seemed into it, just makes me wonder why he stayed in korea why he signed the contract when he knew what it would be like....when another could have took his place
I thought I was the only one who thought he looked out of it. He always had his earphones plugged and it kind of made me feel like he was being disrespectful???? (No hate tho love him) I felt like he would have put more energy/effort in to his work if enjoyed it and now he is so I’m happy for him :)
kinda annoyed with how people keep on asking him the same question again and again... its been almost 4 years now.. can we just like, move on or something? exo is doing great by themselves and sm is slowly giving them freedom by letting them take part in making musics hes also doing great by his own now theres nothing to be talked about between both sides. maybe luhan is the only member that left that exo member still contact with sometimes because hes the only one that tell exo members about it before he left. anyways lets just move on i hope people stop asking them question like this again and again.
You have to understand this is the first time that he is coming to US radio stations. At least here at Wild 949 anyway. I wanted to hear his version vs. what I heard in the news/blogs. Of course it is all about the future, but everyone has a story. Sorry if you were annoyed by that.
Yeah, I also want them to stop asking the same question. He was part of the story, and I will remember forever the memories as OT12, but now is in the past. You can't blame on him for left EXO; Kris is chasing his dreams as well as EXO does. I think everything has a reason to be and this ain't the exception. If you loved him with EXO, or you miss him, well, support Kris. We Are One doesn't stand for nothing
This is a fairly decent version of English translation of Kris Wu Studio statement in 2015 regarding why he left EXO. www.allkpop.com/article/2015/08/kris-makes-official-response-to-sm-entertainments-lawsuit When the company you work for does not care for your well-being, and all they care about is to make money from you, why you want to continue to work for them? If SM is in US, the way they treated him, they (SM) can be sued left and right. Gabby, I agree. Everything happens for a reason. We should concentrate on the future, and leave the past behind!
Gabby Diaz Hi Miss! I understand your point. I understand why you did it. As a EXO fan since 2012, I also want to know the 'real' reason why he left, if he still has a contact to the other members, if he was really happy during 'that' time, if he still listen to the old and new songs of EXO, and if he never regret joining the group. Because, until now I'm still hurting. We (EXO members and EXO fans) still hurting. I know it's hard for him to answer that questions, but I'm thankful for him because he still answered that questions. If I have given the chance to ask him a questions, I will do it. Because I believe that it will help me to heal my wounded heart. Everyone's heart. Imo, Chanyeol (EXO member) still can't move on from the past. You can feel it on his new song. The one he wrote and performed on their recent concert. I'm thankful to you too, because you asked that questions. More power to your show and love lots. 😘💕
It's understandable that people ask though it's been years since the ex members left and none of them are really allowed to talk about it. There are so many unanswered questions that will probably never be answered. Kris has only recently talked about it in interviews and I don't see the problem here? The interviewer was really polite, no one was uncomfortable and she did not pry any further. The whole conversation was chill and Kris was cool about it. The important thing here is we know all 12 of them are doing well and we will keep supporting them as EXO or not.
i'm so McFucking proud of kris. my big bear went from exo to collaborating with huge artist ! im gonna cry, his music has improved so much and you can tell he's finding his nook. and his english is so good omg
To be fair, even if he does still talk to them he wouldn't say that he was. Both Kris and the members of EXO would get a lot of flack because of that despite how much most of us want to hear it. I just love to see him so happy and passionate about music and him doing his own thing. He's really enjoying doing what he's doing and I'm proud of him and how far he's come. His English has improved so much. He's always been good at it but being a fan of Kris's for a long time you can't deny that there're been a huge improvement especially in his articulation and vocabulary. Keep doing what you're doing Kris! Looking forward to your album next year and any other works.
agree lol his english was awkward back then. his pronunciation was ok but he didnt sound this chill and comfortable like this. he been working with americans so of course his english improved
Masuprod he was just as fluent but I think he's just more comfortable with speaking it now since he's done spoken it so much recently. And the environment he's in during this interview seems very chill and welcoming. He seems comfortable and not nervous
Kris's being cute the whole time esp when he shared his feeling working with Pharrell, and left EXO is one of his best decisions to me, we always support him no matter what.
Kris was the leader of Exo M. I feel like that is always going to come up, until he really establishes himself as an artist. I am kinda sad that he doesnt even keep in contact with luhan or tao. Tao and kris used to be pretty close but i am happy for him though! Hes doing what he loves!
He doesn’t like the way kpop works. It’s stressful. He couldn’t do it. He was treated badly. No freedom. He is Chinese , not korean. So please. Don’t ask about EXO always!
Its just the sad truth of how Kris showed how hard Kpop Idols work yet thy still receive so much hate. I dont blame Kris for leaving because he has good reasons and so does Luhan and Tao. They are all happy now and that’s what matters. Let’s just support them for what they want guys! Remember even if they are only 9, only true EXO-Ls will have all 12 of them in their hearts, minds, souls, and memories and that’s what counts! #LoveNoHate #Proud #WeAreOneEXO-Ls!
K8thlyn SKY: "Kris showed how hard Kpop Idols work yet thy still receive so much hate" - exactly my point, it's breaking my heart too. People can be very cruel sometimes. They want him (their idols) to behave the way they like but ignored the fact that he almost died because of that. I'm glad Kris had the courage to say NO to oppression and abuses, and got himself out of that dungeon!
It hurts as an exol knowing he doesn’t talk to the other members cause I still love ot12 but I’m beyond happy for him he’s doing so well right now and he’s on his come up and I wish him nothing but continue success. Go head kris sweetie you’re doing amazing.
There's a high chance that they still have contact on private accounts, he just couldn't have said it, because that would cause the exo members trouble with sm.
Man Gabby you are SUCH A GOOD HOST!! like I was thoroughly entertained.... It's amazing how you get the guest engaged with you and bring out things they usually be more guarded about and the way the whole conversation went through was AMAZING!
He really can't say much anyway. 1) SM won't allow them to talk to each other b/w the current and ex members 2) on the bright side: The Chinese members do have contact with each other.
hhzxlhf183: Exactly right! Some said Chanyeol and Kris were both in London for the Fashion Week, if, that's a big if, they talked, and Kris tells the media, who do you think would have trouble with, Kris or Chanyeol? People don't think about what the reality is with SM but would rather make negative judgement on Kris. So pathetic and unfair!
I will always support you Kris, I hope everything will going as your dream of. I just glad you r doing what you always wanna do. And you r happy, thats whats matters.
Thank you for this interview-kinda thing. I love him so much and I can't stop thinking how happy he must be doing what he wants to do. He was always focused on his freedom and his own persona, and being a part of EXO just would not allow him to evolve. There would be no satisfaction for him, for sure. I love EXO, I really do. I spend 24 hours thinking about them and I am really sad that boys from EXO and Kris don't talk anymore, but this is just how sometimes is. Like you said, Gabby, it's business, they could've stayed on good terms, but considering the circumstances and how Kris departed - no wonder they don't. Life's moving on though. This being said, I am truly truly glad Kris is doing what he deserves to do. Being himself. One thing I'd love is for Kris to never receive questions about EXO in the future. He's had enough already, I believe. Let him be.
Can we talk about how cool Gabby Diaz is? As an interviewer, I think she's very understanding ? When she asked if kris still keep in touch with exo members, i was like oh shit.... things might get uncomfortable here.... but NOPE, Kris kept it cool and Gabby didn't press on and being really understandable. I just love it.
i did not expect him to really find his own place and grow his music the way he has, and i'm so glad that he did! i missed him so much and i'm so proud of his hard work
I'm so glad to see him happy !!!!! Ot12 will always live in my heart but their happiness matters most I think and he is really making his own way and seeing him so confident and happy makes me smile
when you have worked，you will know how painful if you cant realize your own worth，especially for Kris，who is so creative and has so much enthusiasm on things he love，so I completely understand and support him
i've been an exol ever since wolf era...watching exo showtime would always make my sadness or anger fade...at that time my bias was kris...cause he was such a funny guy that pretends to be "cold city guy" X'D but i have tbh...it broke my heart to million pieces when kris left...couldnt stop crying for months...and now, looking at this...it broke my heart even more when he says he doesnt contact them anymore...i mean, all the current exo members,luhan and tao misses each other soo much...they love each other like brothers would...dont you feel the same kris? anyway just because it breaks my heart,doesnt mean i'll stop supporting him...he used to be my bias,exo members still love him, luhan and tao still loves him...and ofc, i cant get enough o his deep ass voice and cool ass style... WE ARE ONE!
While everyone is here talking about Kris Wu, I'd like to applaud Gabby for being such a knowledgable and passionate DJ! I do radio in school too, and I know it's not easy to hold a conversation with someone on air without being nervous (especially when he's a celebrity!). She was so gracious throughout the whole interview, and definitely did research on the guest! Kudos to you Gabby, I really enjoyed this interview and I hope you'll continue to prosper in the radio industry! :)
This was such an enjoyable and laid back interview. I really liked the chance to keep up with him, since I don't really follow him anymore. And to people freaking out about the exo questions: exo launched him. He's big in China but new to the States, and exo is known there, therefore, the reference. It's no big deal, she didn't ask anything intrusive and let him talk about how it was shitty for him and why he grew out of it and into his own music and style, his own company, his new projects. No dirty details, no drama, just facts and his history, she was building his profile right there in the interview. Journalism, guys.
I'm so proud of him~ And I totally understand his reasons :( The way he talks about it shows he's respectful whit that topic~ I cried a lot when he left, he was my favorite M member ~ It was very hard for us EXO-Ls to keep track of the guys who left~ But I never stopped wishing Kris the best, he deserves it, he's so talented and this is just half way of the big things he's going to accomplish~ ❤ We will always support you Galaxy boy~ ! ☆
If he didn't go after what he want, he'll never have it. And Kris is living his dream right now. This is what he wants and this is what makes him happy. Look at his genuine smile when he's talking about his music. 😌 It saddens me that he completely cut ties with the boys but past is past. They are all happy and successful in their own fields and I am happy for them. I knew I have moved on when all I can feel while watching this are happiness and contentment. No one regretted their choice and that's the only thing that matters for me. 😊
Guys just chillax... they can't let us know if they talk to each other or not. The only answer he could say is no. Do you understand? There are SM company rules (current members are not allowed to contact ex-members/trainees) and public opinions and fan wars which are ready to blow up anytime. I can imagine what's gonna happen if he answered "yes". That would be really terrible and hurt both sides. They CAN NOT say it. Please don't be upset like it's the end of the world...
Or he could be telling the truth... and they don't talk... Them not talking doesn't mean they hate it other. It happens. They get busy and move on. No big deal.
No he doesn’t talk to them nor in contact with them so please stop all these delusional thinking and stop bringing all these talks about his former group into whatever he does
万磁王 万磁王 Please let me know which word of mine is delusional, and when did I bring his former group into whatever he does? Did we meet before? I'm not even an ot12 stan. But I respect ot12 fans, I respect every fan's choice as long as she/he respects my idol. We can't impose our views on others. If you feel irritated you should tell the DJ not to ask it. That's why people are talking abt exo here. Nevertheless we can't blame the DJ cuz she might need to provide a bit of backstory to US audiences. She might not know how many dramas happened and how sensitive the topic is. It's understandable. Maybe next time Kris's team can do something to avoid this question in interviews like what they did in China. They have a perfect right to talk or not talk to each other. like essenceofsoul27 said, it happens to everyone, people move on and it's no big deal. But a lot of fans have been expecting something from him for years, I don't want people to think that "They don't talk bcuz they hate each other/Kris doesn't like his exo-l fans/He never brings up exo he's cold and cruel" after watching this interview. I've seen comments like that since he left. Do you think those are appropriate opinions toward him? I'm just telling the possible reasons behind it. I hope people don't overreact to his answer or feel hurtful or constantly expect a "yes" or reunion cuz they can't even talk about it. Is it that hard to see?? Re-watch this interview, apparently he hesitantly avoided giving a definite answer. We are not him. Making absolute conclusions on his behalf is another way of being delusional, and it may hurt him.
Awesome interview. This is the best interview I've seen Kris do. He is so relax and comfortable. Nothing too pretentious. This is the true Kris Wu. He has finally found his groove. Kris is happy and I am glad. Keep doin what you're doin Kris.
I for one am grateful that you asked about EXO. Kris hasn't really opened up about what happened and just knowing what he was feeling when he was there kinda gives me closure. The was you did it was perfect too. You were chill and understanding and asked the question at the beginning of the interview rather than at the end. That way you could move onto topics related to the present and not linger on the awkwardness of the past or end the interview with him feeling uncomfortable. You're an awesome host girl! Keep up the good work!
Yafa Abusaif the only reason im still into kpop is because of exo thats why im glad too that kris is actually free from that kind of environment. It's so toxic i really feel sorry for the group.
The fans wars and the number of groups who look and sound like is crazy. I think as people get older they transition from kpop into other genre's or into western music.
What I love most about this is that he is just so real!!! So raw, you don’t feel any fake ness. So glad to see him doing well and especially in a happy place doing what he loves.
As an EXO-L, I'm really proud of Kris. I'm really happy that he soars high from the freedom he truly deserves. I'm also thankful that you asked Kris that question, if he still communicates with the other members. But, it's kinda confusing for me because he said yeah on the first question, then he said yeah again on the next question. I don't know what to believe. I know many will say to just move on. But, my OT12 heart can't just stay here and hope for nothing. They're brothers and I feel that they still keep in touch with each other. Don't hate me. I just love it if they still have interactions. And I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
kris wu, kevin wu, wu yifan you doing well. having you in EXO was a great memory. remember i shed 3 days of tears due to your depart but seeing you happy and succeed its all worth it now. im sorry i dont keep up with your activity but i know how successful you are, keep up bro!! i wish there is some just some lil part of you loving all the members bc its sm you fight with not them members. they grew up with you they are the past what made you today.
I was crying when he said he doesn't talk to any of the other EXO member. He was the leader for the longest time and took care of all of them. It would be like Namjoon and Jin leaving BTS alone. I do support him in every way though and could never hate him. I send me love as an EXO-L.
Wow. This is actually the first time I've seen Kris holding an interview after leaving Exo. I'm so proud of him, he has grown so much as an artist. And that confidence... man... I've never seen him like this before. My heart is beating so fast. I'm just so so proud of him! He was so awkward back then and restricted. I'm so happy to see this carefree and confident side of him. I have a soft spot for Kris I love him so much he deserves everything
Why should Kris contact other members? Why are you sad? Everybody moves on. Kris is happy and hardworking now in US and China, and I'm really happy for him.
Honestly I cried so much when he left and I left with him eventually, and I'm so happy he's a happier person and does whatever he wants to do 💛 he deserves all the happiness in the world!
I've been a fan of Kris since exo pre-debut and I could see that he was not happy during exo showtime. In the last episode when Suho was trying to make him get into the water he was like 'I'm a leader?'. Like 'only now do you guys remember that I am a leader too?' I was happy when he left! After that I kinda stop following exo. Because that thing 'we all friends, we know each other so well' in front of the camera but behind is all business, isn't for me..... I wish him all the best and i'm so happy that is doing what he likes. 'step by step' Always keeping an eye on him!
I don’t think it was hiding the truth when host asks the question about if he connects to former group or separated . I trust him that the only things why he left that was stressful and unfreedom. After all his best friend is Kevin shin.
I'm so happy for him!! I get that a lot of people need to stop asking him about being in the group because that's in the past but I did expect it because of the resurfacing of kpop in the western world (i guess?) and the fact that he's been breaching the western market for a couple years now. I'm really proud of everything he's doing, will always support him and the rest in whatever they do because they're happy now and that makes me happy. Listen to all their music (Kris, Luhan, Tao, and exo) because its all really good ^^
Geez can people please stfu with him being in exo? As an exo biased ot12 stan I am pissed. There are so many people saying shit like 'I miss yifan' like he didn't go away or something, he still there. Happier and brighter than ever. And yeah it's ok if people in Interviews ask him that but do exols really have to bring up that topic again? I really loved Kris being in exo but as you clearly can see he wasn't happy at that time. And yeah I miss ot12 a lot but it ain't that dramatic guys. It was a part of his journey, probably a really important one, but look at him. He's so happy. Do people really have to try to cut open those old wounds? They healed, as you can see. Kris is doing great, also luhan and tao. They are all having so much fun but yet people say stuff like 'in my heart kris/tao/luhan still belongs to exo'. Pretty cute and loyal but not the loyalty we need. He ain't an exo member anymore. Oh shit.
I guess since it has been such a long time and i have made my peace with it, none of his words made me sad. I am actually smiling so big to myself right now cause he seems to be doin really well and really settling into the industry and feeling much more comfortable expressing himself. Like i don't he would have been able to talk about EXO this calmly in the past, he didn't even seem nervous at all. I am happy for both sides tbh, he is doing well and our boys continued also doing better and better even after losing three members and everyone seems much happier than they did 4 years ago. I am happy ^^
Super interview ! I gotta say this bc you taked ab interesting things that I really wanted to know Also kris I will support you through your career and I'm really excited to see you grow and do your thing in the US ! Good luck !
I love how he is truthful about being in touch with the members even though it is heartbreaking for ot12 Stans. Unlike many other artists who just say they are in touch but there is so much diss and shady drama. And he is free, definitely happier and really successful. Bitter sweet truth but as long he is in piece of mind. 💕
I'm going to be an OT12 stan forever. NO MATTER WHAT! I love exo so much. Even though this is so heart breaking, it cant change my love and support to them.
Im lovin this! The girl is so starightforward bout exo things but then Kris is so open too. Im glad he's fine talking bout it ☺ great to know he's happy and living his dream and life now!
Wow Kris is really doing it! I see him in movies acting, modeling, and as an music artist he's a triple threat and doing things on his own terms. That's the total inspiration the dream he's living it!
MY DEAR KRIS WU, I BELIEVE IN YOUR WORD AND INNOCENCE. "GOD" IS IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING. DON'T BE AFRAID, "GOD" IS RIGHT NEXT TO YOU, DON'T DOUBT, BELIEVE, EVEN WITH THE OPPOSITE SITUATION. KRIS WU, "GOD" WILL DEFEAT ALL SLANDER FOR SURE. I'M WITH YOU AND I'M ALWAYS PRAYING FOR YOU. 💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚

“First of all, I’m not Korean Im Chinese” Yas kris
but now the Chinese ppl called him Canadian.Lmao
I will always remember and love my ot12, and I hope no one take this badly; but I'm happy because I know my dear Kris is happy now. And I'm sure that the guys are happy for him, too. Always Loving you and Supporting you my galaxy.
Liz Martinez Alvarado yes
None of them will forget. It was "HISTORY"!
same for me i love my ot 12 but i'm so so happy for him ❤❤❤❤
"9 in our eyes, 12 in our hearts" It's okay Galaxy Yifan, EXO-Ls still love you even though it's heart breaking 💔
Lauren I Want Your Camila So Bad SAME OMG
Agree with you😢
It hurt my heart when he said they don’t talk anymore..... I just want a reunion party for them please (of course including Tao and Luhan too!)
I agree
T_T
My heart sank when he said he doesn't talk to the boys anymore 😭 it's not //just// a group (for me at least) it's about their brotherhood that makes me saaaaaad
They are just co-workers. Just like any other co-worker, you have those who you are closer to than others. Also, like any other co-workers you can have fun while you're working together, but once you leave the job, you lose your reason for hanging out with them and you drift apart.
essenceofsoul27 yeah, sure. You see them as JUST ex/co-workers. But you know, they used to live together, used to train together, used to eat together, used to shower together, used to joke together, they used to be together and i don't know, but i think it is impossible to not grow/develop "fond" for each other.......as brothers......😭😭😭😭😭 I'm sorry but this is breaking my heart so much. It's been 3 years but I just can't.take.this.
Yet here we are. They are no longer speaking. People grow apart. It's life. For the record, you can be fond of co-workers as well. I'm sure he has fond memories of his time with them and the same for the others though.
It's how divorce works too right? Divorces happen and the relationship dies. You care and sometimes not even that but you grow distant for sure. It saddened me too but even if they were in touch he wouldn't mention it publicly yet. It would put EXO's reputation on line considering how K-netizens are always ready to attack. Just saying. Sigh. I wish though.
I think the communication was also cut off because of the company. It wouldnt be right if the members communicate to someone who has a lawsuit in the company they are working with.
let me hug y'all exo-ls, specially to those ot12 stans.
Merry Byun-Park i need that rn
Merry Byun-Park thanks....
Thank you :'c
Thank you i need it 😭😞
Thank you☺
As a fan who started to stan since OT12 this literally breaks my heart, Yifan you really look happy now. Still, I will support you no matter what.
adfkslay oppa SAME OMG T.T
Zetty Marie Diola I still can't get over the fact that he already left :(
Hb
I’m so happy for Kris because I know what he trying to say. In Exo show time you could see her face that he wasn’t happy to be in the group. And I don’t know why people surprise that he doesn’t talk with Exo, I mean it was been 4 years. But seriously thanks to Smtown and Exo he is more recognized. Kris fighting!
Isa Garcia he never seemed into it, just makes me wonder why he stayed in korea why he signed the contract when he knew what it would be like....when another could have took his place
*his lol
I thought I was the only one who thought he looked out of it. He always had his earphones plugged and it kind of made me feel like he was being disrespectful???? (No hate tho love him) I felt like he would have put more energy/effort in to his work if enjoyed it and now he is so I’m happy for him :)
kinda annoyed with how people keep on asking him the same question again and again... its been almost 4 years now.. can we just like, move on or something? exo is doing great by themselves and sm is slowly giving them freedom by letting them take part in making musics hes also doing great by his own now theres nothing to be talked about between both sides. maybe luhan is the only member that left that exo member still contact with sometimes because hes the only one that tell exo members about it before he left. anyways lets just move on i hope people stop asking them question like this again and again.
You have to understand this is the first time that he is coming to US radio stations. At least here at Wild 949 anyway. I wanted to hear his version vs. what I heard in the news/blogs. Of course it is all about the future, but everyone has a story. Sorry if you were annoyed by that.
Yeah, I also want them to stop asking the same question.
He was part of the story, and I will remember forever the memories as OT12, but now is in the past. You can't blame on him for left EXO; Kris is chasing his dreams as well as EXO does.
I think everything has a reason to be and this ain't the exception.
If you loved him with EXO, or you miss him, well, support Kris. We Are One doesn't stand for nothing
This is a fairly decent version of English translation of Kris Wu Studio statement in 2015 regarding why he left EXO. www.allkpop.com/article/2015/08/kris-makes-official-response-to-sm-entertainments-lawsuit
When the company you work for does not care for your well-being, and all they care about is to make money from you, why you want to continue to work for them? If SM is in US, the way they treated him, they (SM) can be sued left and right.
Gabby, I agree. Everything happens for a reason. We should concentrate on the future, and leave the past behind!
Gabby Diaz Hi Miss! I understand your point. I understand why you did it. As a EXO fan since 2012, I also want to know the 'real' reason why he left, if he still has a contact to the other members, if he was really happy during 'that' time, if he still listen to the old and new songs of EXO, and if he never regret joining the group. Because, until now I'm still hurting. We (EXO members and EXO fans) still hurting. I know it's hard for him to answer that questions, but I'm thankful for him because he still answered that questions. If I have given the chance to ask him a questions, I will do it. Because I believe that it will help me to heal my wounded heart. Everyone's heart.
Imo, Chanyeol (EXO member) still can't move on from the past. You can feel it on his new song. The one he wrote and performed on their recent concert.
I'm thankful to you too, because you asked that questions. More power to your show and love lots. 😘💕
It's understandable that people ask though it's been years since the ex members left and none of them are really allowed to talk about it. There are so many unanswered questions that will probably never be answered. Kris has only recently talked about it in interviews and I don't see the problem here? The interviewer was really polite, no one was uncomfortable and she did not pry any further. The whole conversation was chill and Kris was cool about it. The important thing here is we know all 12 of them are doing well and we will keep supporting them as EXO or not.
i'm so McFucking proud of kris. my big bear went from exo to collaborating with huge artist ! im gonna cry, his music has improved so much and you can tell he's finding his nook. and his english is so good omg
ting ting "mcfucking" that is amazing
To be fair, even if he does still talk to them he wouldn't say that he was. Both Kris and the members of EXO would get a lot of flack because of that despite how much most of us want to hear it. I just love to see him so happy and passionate about music and him doing his own thing. He's really enjoying doing what he's doing and I'm proud of him and how far he's come. His English has improved so much. He's always been good at it but being a fan of Kris's for a long time you can't deny that there're been a huge improvement especially in his articulation and vocabulary. Keep doing what you're doing Kris! Looking forward to your album next year and any other works.
Ally Bree he was brought up in Canada and he already speaks English well even before EXO, i think he just dont use it often in Korea
his english improved so much, he wasnt this good before.
Masuprod nahh I don’t think so, he’s always this good.
agree lol his english was awkward back then. his pronunciation was ok but he didnt sound this chill and comfortable like this. he been working with americans so of course his english improved
Well, for me he is fluent in English, he is living in Canada before okay.
Masuprod he was just as fluent but I think he's just more comfortable with speaking it now since he's done spoken it so much recently. And the environment he's in during this interview seems very chill and welcoming. He seems comfortable and not nervous
he was raised in Canada......
kris is so talent. i support you.
and so nice!!!
My boy Kris Wu. Support him and love him. He is great success now and please dont ask him any Exo question. Just move on and god bless them both.
Cat It's like and my ex girlfriend ,we're broken up like 3 or 4 years now and people still asking me about her.I get so annoyed sometimes by them.
Kris's being cute the whole time esp when he shared his feeling working with Pharrell, and left EXO is one of his best decisions to me, we always support him no matter what.
No matter what Kris does I will always stand behind his artistry
Erica Varnado What do you mean?
I'm curious, how about now? Do you still follow and support him?
It's more been four years. They should stop with the exo questions. Both parties have moved on and are doing great on their own.
Ankita Negi well kris is kinda a new artist in the States it’s a really relevant question since he’s up and coming.
Kris was the leader of Exo M. I feel like that is always going to come up, until he really establishes himself as an artist. I am kinda sad that he doesnt even keep in contact with luhan or tao. Tao and kris used to be pretty close but i am happy for him though! Hes doing what he loves!
They really should kris clearly does not care about Exo anymore he's doing his own thing now.
Why do you guys keep mentioning EXO? Past is past. Y’all need to move up. He is happy now.
He doesn’t like the way kpop works. It’s stressful. He couldn’t do it. He was treated badly. No freedom. He is Chinese , not korean. So please. Don’t ask about EXO always!
He is Chinese Canadian isn't he?
Tiffany Lee he is fully Chinese but moved to Canada when he was 10, hence being fluent in English
of course it's past
but past is still part of life
and he didn't seem that sad or broken when he talked
i agree that past is past. but we also have to remember that he would not be where he is right now, if he did not become an exo member? right?
Its just the sad truth of how Kris showed how hard Kpop Idols work yet thy still receive so much hate. I dont blame Kris for leaving because he has good reasons and so does Luhan and Tao. They are all happy now and that’s what matters. Let’s just support them for what they want guys! Remember even if they are only 9, only true EXO-Ls will have all 12 of them in their hearts, minds, souls, and memories and that’s what counts! #LoveNoHate #Proud #WeAreOneEXO-Ls!
K8thlyn SKY: "Kris showed how hard Kpop Idols work yet thy still receive so much hate" - exactly my point, it's breaking my heart too. People can be very cruel sometimes. They want him (their idols) to behave the way they like but ignored the fact that he almost died because of that. I'm glad Kris had the courage to say NO to oppression and abuses, and got himself out of that dungeon!
He changed into the real Kris!!!!!!!!!!!
Lin Roxanne yes he has found his style
It hurts as an exol knowing he doesn’t talk to the other members cause I still love ot12 but I’m beyond happy for him he’s doing so well right now and he’s on his come up and I wish him nothing but continue success. Go head kris sweetie you’re doing amazing.
There's a high chance that they still have contact on private accounts, he just couldn't have said it, because that would cause the exo members trouble with sm.
It’s hard to find a guy so cool, creative and yet pure and real 🤟✊
And tall and good looking all at the same time. :)
MsTravelTheWorld You can say that again 😄
Haha, I may just do that!
MsTravelTheWorld Haha... Good humour, my friend 😄
Man Gabby you are SUCH A GOOD HOST!! like I was thoroughly entertained.... It's amazing how you get the guest engaged with you and bring out things they usually be more guarded about and the way the whole conversation went through was AMAZING!
Beacause KrisWu is a dragon, he can fly, he is free. Always support you.
Kris looks great! Happy for him. Come to US, come to LA more often!
And the Bay!
*OMG WHEN SHE ASKED IF HE TALKS TO EXO😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭*
He really can't say much anyway. 1) SM won't allow them to talk to each other b/w the current and ex members 2) on the bright side: The Chinese members do have contact with each other.
Even if Kris does keep in contact with someone in EXO, he wouldn't say it out loud for the sake of this person because SME won't like that.
hhzxlhf183: Exactly right! Some said Chanyeol and Kris were both in London for the Fashion Week, if, that's a big if, they talked, and Kris tells the media, who do you think would have trouble with, Kris or Chanyeol? People don't think about what the reality is with SM but would rather make negative judgement on Kris. So pathetic and unfair!
ThisIsNajma i see u in most of kris wu’s videos
dabAllTime #1 she's an exo-l she's in every exo video even our exesXD
I will always support you Kris, I hope everything will going as your dream of. I just glad you r doing what you always wanna do. And you r happy, thats whats matters.
Thank you for this interview-kinda thing. I love him so much and I can't stop thinking how happy he must be doing what he wants to do. He was always focused on his freedom and his own persona, and being a part of EXO just would not allow him to evolve. There would be no satisfaction for him, for sure. I love EXO, I really do. I spend 24 hours thinking about them and I am really sad that boys from EXO and Kris don't talk anymore, but this is just how sometimes is. Like you said, Gabby, it's business, they could've stayed on good terms, but considering the circumstances and how Kris departed - no wonder they don't. Life's moving on though. This being said, I am truly truly glad Kris is doing what he deserves to do. Being himself. One thing I'd love is for Kris to never receive questions about EXO in the future. He's had enough already, I believe. Let him be.
When he said *"ye"* I lost it. I nearly peed my pants on how DEEP HIS VOICE IS, GOD.
He's so talented!!! Good luck to your future endeavors Kris Wu!!!
Thanks for watching :)
Can we talk about how cool Gabby Diaz is?
As an interviewer, I think she's very understanding ?
When she asked if kris still keep in touch with exo members, i was like oh shit.... things might get uncomfortable here....
but NOPE, Kris kept it cool and Gabby didn't press on and being really understandable. I just love it.
i did not expect him to really find his own place and grow his music the way he has, and i'm so glad that he did! i missed him so much and i'm so proud of his hard work
Hearing this broke my heart, but Kris seems so happy now let's just support all of them.
#OT12 #EXO
I'm so glad to see him happy !!!!! Ot12 will always live in my heart but their happiness matters most I think and he is really making his own way and seeing him so confident and happy makes me smile
LOL how many times has Kris been asked how to pronounce WU...Thanks for sharing!
when you have worked，you will know how painful if you cant realize your own worth，especially for Kris，who is so creative and has so much enthusiasm on things he love，so I completely understand and support him
i've been an exol ever since wolf era...watching exo showtime would always make my sadness or anger fade...at that time my bias was kris...cause he was such a funny guy that pretends to be "cold city guy" X'D
but i have tbh...it broke my heart to million pieces when kris left...couldnt stop crying for months...and now, looking at this...it broke my heart even more when he says he doesnt contact them anymore...i mean, all the current exo members,luhan and tao misses each other soo much...they love each other like brothers would...dont you feel the same kris?
anyway just because it breaks my heart,doesnt mean i'll stop supporting him...he used to be my bias,exo members still love him, luhan and tao still loves him...and ofc, i cant get enough o his deep ass voice and cool ass style...
WE ARE ONE!
HES JUST SO HAPPY TO BE THERE HE WAS SO EXCITED !!!! keep it up kris we're all rooting for you!!! galaxy KING!!!
While everyone is here talking about Kris Wu, I'd like to applaud Gabby for being such a knowledgable and passionate DJ! I do radio in school too, and I know it's not easy to hold a conversation with someone on air without being nervous (especially when he's a celebrity!). She was so gracious throughout the whole interview, and definitely did research on the guest! Kudos to you Gabby, I really enjoyed this interview and I hope you'll continue to prosper in the radio industry! :)
HIS VOICE IS TOO DEEP WTF😂😂😂
Love that deep rich and very manly voice!
Ayesha Ramos it’s hella sexy tho
Ayesha Ramos it’s sexy
Ikr!!!😂
This was such an enjoyable and laid back interview. I really liked the chance to keep up with him, since I don't really follow him anymore. And to people freaking out about the exo questions: exo launched him. He's big in China but new to the States, and exo is known there, therefore, the reference. It's no big deal, she didn't ask anything intrusive and let him talk about how it was shitty for him and why he grew out of it and into his own music and style, his own company, his new projects. No dirty details, no drama, just facts and his history, she was building his profile right there in the interview. Journalism, guys.
I'll be always supporting him wherever he is.
I'm so proud of him~ And I totally understand his reasons :( The way he talks about it shows he's respectful whit that topic~ I cried a lot when he left, he was my favorite M member ~ It was very hard for us EXO-Ls to keep track of the guys who left~ But I never stopped wishing Kris the best, he deserves it, he's so talented and this is just half way of the big things he's going to accomplish~ ❤ We will always support you Galaxy boy~ ! ☆
If he didn't go after what he want, he'll never have it. And Kris is living his dream right now. This is what he wants and this is what makes him happy. Look at his genuine smile when he's talking about his music. 😌
It saddens me that he completely cut ties with the boys but past is past. They are all happy and successful in their own fields and I am happy for them. I knew I have moved on when all I can feel while watching this are happiness and contentment. No one regretted their choice and that's the only thing that matters for me. 😊
Totally agree.
he looks so happy and i am proud and happy for him wow i love kris
Guys just chillax... they can't let us know if they talk to each other or not. The only answer he could say is no. Do you understand? There are SM company rules (current members are not allowed to contact ex-members/trainees) and public opinions and fan wars which are ready to blow up anytime. I can imagine what's gonna happen if he answered "yes". That would be really terrible and hurt both sides. They CAN NOT say it. Please don't be upset like it's the end of the world...
Or he could be telling the truth... and they don't talk... Them not talking doesn't mean they hate it other. It happens. They get busy and move on. No big deal.
essenceofsoul27 Right
No he doesn’t talk to them nor in contact with them so please stop all these delusional thinking and stop bringing all these talks about his former group into whatever he does
Lay still keeps in touch with Luhan. This has nothing to do with sm. They don’t talk, they aren’t close anymore it happens to everyone
万磁王 万磁王 Please let me know which word of mine is delusional, and when did I bring his former group into whatever he does? Did we meet before? I'm not even an ot12 stan. But I respect ot12 fans, I respect every fan's choice as long as she/he respects my idol. We can't impose our views on others. If you feel irritated you should tell the DJ not to ask it. That's why people are talking abt exo here. Nevertheless we can't blame the DJ cuz she might need to provide a bit of backstory to US audiences. She might not know how many dramas happened and how sensitive the topic is. It's understandable. Maybe next time Kris's team can do something to avoid this question in interviews like what they did in China.
They have a perfect right to talk or not talk to each other. like essenceofsoul27 said, it happens to everyone, people move on and it's no big deal. But a lot of fans have been expecting something from him for years, I don't want people to think that "They don't talk bcuz they hate each other/Kris doesn't like his exo-l fans/He never brings up exo he's cold and cruel" after watching this interview. I've seen comments like that since he left. Do you think those are appropriate opinions toward him? I'm just telling the possible reasons behind it. I hope people don't overreact to his answer or feel hurtful or constantly expect a "yes" or reunion cuz they can't even talk about it. Is it that hard to see?? Re-watch this interview, apparently he hesitantly avoided giving a definite answer. We are not him. Making absolute conclusions on his behalf is another way of being delusional, and it may hurt him.
Awesome interview. This is the best interview I've seen Kris do. He is so relax and comfortable. Nothing too pretentious. This is the true Kris Wu. He has finally found his groove. Kris is happy and I am glad. Keep doin what you're doin Kris.
i love this man so much omg @ kris wu: *MARRY A BITCH*
I for one am grateful that you asked about EXO. Kris hasn't really opened up about what happened and just knowing what he was feeling when he was there kinda gives me closure.
The was you did it was perfect too. You were chill and understanding and asked the question at the beginning of the interview rather than at the end. That way you could move onto topics related to the present and not linger on the awkwardness of the past or end the interview with him feeling uncomfortable. You're an awesome host girl! Keep up the good work!
Kpop is a mess right now. Im glad he's happy with where he is 💓
.omg exactly kpop has changed sooo much
Yafa Abusaif the only reason im still into kpop is because of exo thats why im glad too that kris is actually free from that kind of environment. It's so toxic i really feel sorry for the group.
Enma Ai same, Exo brought me to kpop and I’m only there for exo
The fans wars and the number of groups who look and sound like is crazy. I think as people get older they transition from kpop into other genre's or into western music.
Enma Ai: That kind of working conditions almost killed him. So exactly, glad he got out and is doing well.
Thanks for the great interview Gabby! Hope to see Kris on again!
I am crying, what ever what you still our galaxy fanfan!
What I love most about this is that he is just so real!!! So raw, you don’t feel any fake ness. So glad to see him doing well and especially in a happy place doing what he loves.
His first meeting with Pharrell and mental activity is really cute hahhhha
Gabby you vibe with Kris and everyone who stops in is so welcoming and laid back..jja jjang! Kris W +Nike=Krushing
As an EXO-L, I'm really proud of Kris. I'm really happy that he soars high from the freedom he truly deserves.
I'm also thankful that you asked Kris that question, if he still communicates with the other members. But, it's kinda confusing for me because he said yeah on the first question, then he said yeah again on the next question. I don't know what to believe.
I know many will say to just move on. But, my OT12 heart can't just stay here and hope for nothing. They're brothers and I feel that they still keep in touch with each other.
Don't hate me. I just love it if they still have interactions. And I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
kris wu, kevin wu, wu yifan you doing well. having you in EXO was a great memory. remember i shed 3 days of tears due to your depart but seeing you happy and succeed its all worth it now. im sorry i dont keep up with your activity but i know how successful you are, keep up bro!! i wish there is some just some lil part of you loving all the members bc its sm you fight with not them members. they grew up with you they are the past what made you today.
The hardest thing is that i already accept why he left,but still kinda made me in tears 😢 I love him and i wont stop supporting him!😘😘
Kris said deuces to the korean music industry, moved to the states and glo'd up his life and career. Hasn't looked back since. I am so proud of him.
We need a kris wu shoe... NOOOOWW!!
I love how everyone is amazed by his deep voice lol Love my Kris
He's so funny and chill and charismatic I love -him- it...
I was crying when he said he doesn't talk to any of the other EXO member. He was the leader for the longest time and took care of all of them. It would be like Namjoon and Jin leaving BTS alone. I do support him in every way though and could never hate him. I send me love as an EXO-L.
sad emoticon..a shout out that we damn miss you..we long for ot12.we love you mr. galaxy and you have our support
Can we just- Can we just take a fucking moment to appreciate his Voice?! 'Cause boi, it is calming as FucKKKKKK
this woman actually seemed invested in my man. im so proud :w;
Wow. This is actually the first time I've seen Kris holding an interview after leaving Exo. I'm so proud of him, he has grown so much as an artist. And that confidence... man... I've never seen him like this before. My heart is beating so fast. I'm just so so proud of him! He was so awkward back then and restricted. I'm so happy to see this carefree and confident side of him. I have a soft spot for Kris I love him so much he deserves everything
Im shookt tho. But all i need to do is to accept it..But Heck Im always inlove with his Voice the way he says Yeahh then he lough cutely.😍😍😍
I'm happy that he can be so genuine when he talks about EXO and he's not avoiding questions about them. Good on you.
Why should Kris contact other members? Why are you sad? Everybody moves on.
Kris is happy and hardworking now in US and China, and I'm really happy for him.
katedhy Its the fact that he was apart of one of the biggest groups in Korea and he ended on bad terms
They used to be a good friends before, it hurts bc of 'that' they are now like a stranger :'(
Honestly I cried so much when he left and I left with him eventually, and I'm so happy he's a happier person and does whatever he wants to do 💛 he deserves all the happiness in the world!
this guy literally is dope
I'm so proud of you Kris. You do you my boo boo! You've been working it so hard since you were a kid.
I've been a fan of Kris since exo pre-debut and I could see that he was not happy during exo showtime. In the last episode when Suho was trying to make him get into the water he was like 'I'm a leader?'. Like 'only now do you guys remember that I am a leader too?' I was happy when he left! After that I kinda stop following exo. Because that thing 'we all friends, we know each other so well' in front of the camera but behind is all business, isn't for me.....
I wish him all the best and i'm so happy that is doing what he likes. 'step by step'
Always keeping an eye on him!
Okey you don’t have to follow exo or love them anymore but do NOT talk about them and their friendship like you know them.
THE GIRL IS SUPER CHILL!
I don’t think it was hiding the truth when host asks the question about if he connects to former group or separated . I trust him that the only things why he left that was stressful and unfreedom. After all his best friend is Kevin shin.
I'm so happy for him!! I get that a lot of people need to stop asking him about being in the group because that's in the past but I did expect it because of the resurfacing of kpop in the western world (i guess?) and the fact that he's been breaching the western market for a couple years now. I'm really proud of everything he's doing, will always support him and the rest in whatever they do because they're happy now and that makes me happy. Listen to all their music (Kris, Luhan, Tao, and exo) because its all really good ^^
I like Kris so much more as a free man. EXO Kris was... not happy.
dodobirdsrock I agree..
im so proud and happy for you kris~ ♡♡♡
Love the conversation so much，this is lovely😍
I love to see him so happy when talking about his work and about his music 😍 it is so satisfying to see him with that smile on his face. ❤❤
Geez can people please stfu with him being in exo? As an exo biased ot12 stan I am pissed. There are so many people saying shit like 'I miss yifan' like he didn't go away or something, he still there. Happier and brighter than ever. And yeah it's ok if people in Interviews ask him that but do exols really have to bring up that topic again? I really loved Kris being in exo but as you clearly can see he wasn't happy at that time. And yeah I miss ot12 a lot but it ain't that dramatic guys. It was a part of his journey, probably a really important one, but look at him. He's so happy. Do people really have to try to cut open those old wounds? They healed, as you can see. Kris is doing great, also luhan and tao. They are all having so much fun but yet people say stuff like 'in my heart kris/tao/luhan still belongs to exo'. Pretty cute and loyal but not the loyalty we need. He ain't an exo member anymore.
Oh shit.
I guess since it has been such a long time and i have made my peace with it, none of his words made me sad. I am actually smiling so big to myself right now cause he seems to be doin really well and really settling into the industry and feeling much more comfortable expressing himself. Like i don't he would have been able to talk about EXO this calmly in the past, he didn't even seem nervous at all. I am happy for both sides tbh, he is doing well and our boys continued also doing better and better even after losing three members and everyone seems much happier than they did 4 years ago. I am happy ^^
I love you kris wu ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Super interview ! I gotta say this bc you taked ab interesting things that I really wanted to know
Also kris I will support you through your career and I'm really excited to see you grow and do your thing in the US ! Good luck !
I’m crying 😭 but I always support and love my OT12 EXO
I love how he is truthful about being in touch with the members even though it is heartbreaking for ot12 Stans.
Unlike many other artists who just say they are in touch but there is so much diss and shady drama. And he is free, definitely happier and really successful. Bitter sweet truth but as long he is in piece of mind. 💕
I'm going to be an OT12 stan forever. NO MATTER WHAT! I love exo so much. Even though this is so heart breaking, it cant change my love and support to them.
i love the host's enthusiasm ❤️ keep working hard
I love this guy!
Im lovin this! The girl is so starightforward bout exo things but then Kris is so open too. Im glad he's fine talking bout it ☺ great to know he's happy and living his dream and life now!
So glad he can do his own thing now. I support both him and exo. And yeah what he said is so true.
Wow Kris is really doing it! I see him in movies acting, modeling, and as an music artist he's a triple threat and doing things on his own terms. That's the total inspiration the dream he's living it!
kris laughing at 7:36 gave me life
His laugh is hella cute. 🖤🖤🖤
I'm in love with his voice.💞
Muaaah muaaah muaaah muaaah love you so much baby I love my jaan Kris
I didn’t actually realize how much I loved him until I found it he was in the Valerian movie, i was so happy!
Tbh .I don't think KRIS would be this popular if he weren't from EXO before.I'm happy that he got to do wat he want.
That's why I heard Deserve on Wild last night. Hella good interview Gabby
MY DEAR KRIS WU, I BELIEVE IN YOUR WORD AND INNOCENCE. "GOD" IS IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING. DON'T BE AFRAID, "GOD" IS RIGHT NEXT TO YOU, DON'T DOUBT, BELIEVE, EVEN WITH THE OPPOSITE SITUATION.
KRIS WU, "GOD" WILL DEFEAT ALL SLANDER FOR SURE. I'M WITH YOU AND I'M ALWAYS PRAYING FOR YOU. 💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚
Will forever appreciate Kris' honesty.
