      Please also highlight that these complaints from "fans" have been almost exclusively from Korean, the international fandom in general showed support and wished his happiness from the first minute.
      And yes, he was very brave to stand firm (the h8 and attack was crazy) and the other members did nothing but support him... as an exo-L I am more than proud of them.

    EXO's popularity in China is crazy despite not promoting in there for more than half a decade. Their earnings from China alone can sustain their retirement. Not to mention, their fanbases in China are the richest fanbases in KPop. The things that they do for EXO are insane.
    Also, almost all MVs of EXO reached Billions of views in China, thus, this alone in one of the reasons why SM gatekept EXO in Asia. They raking huge money without lifting a finger.

    Chen had the hardest time when it was revealed that he had a pregnant fiancé he was about to marry, it was crazy how much KOREAN FANS went mad as if he cheated on them. they were protesting at the SM building asking them to kick him out of the group -delulu bishes-. now he has two little beautiful daughters. last year things got quiet and almost back to normal so he had an amazing wedding. it was so emotional❤‍🩹.

    In Suho's musical "The Man Who Laughs," he isn't a "weird version of The Joker." He is actually portraying the literary character that The Joker from Batman is based off from. The character he is playing is supposed to be slightly mad, so if you think he looked crazy in that clip, that's because he was. Suho got many accolades for his character in this play.

    One of the main reasons why Suho was a trainee for 7 years was because he originally started out training to be a member of SM's legendary second-generation group, SHINee. However, right before SHINee was to debut in 2008, Suho injured his knee and he couldn't train for their debut showcase, so SM decided to debut SHINee without him. He ended up having to wait 4 more years before he debuted as the leader of EXO. But, by all accounts, this worked out for the best because he became the leader, and as the other EXO members say, he was born to be a leader. If he had stayed a member of SHINee he never would have become a leader, because Onew -- who is the leader of SHINee -- is 2 years older than Suho, and at the time of SHINee's debut it was pretty much a given that the oldest member would automatically be the leader. However, 4 years later when EXO debuted, the rules within the industry had kind of changed and it was no longer a hard and fast rule that the oldest would be the leader. Case in point, Xiumin is the oldest EXO member and, yet, Suho became the leader.
    Being a trainee for 7 years isn't that uncommon. If you start to really look into it, you will find a lot of Idols who have trained for a very long time before they debuted. However, it all depends on how talented someone is or how much experience they have had before becoming a trainee as to how long they train. Some idols only train for a few weeks or a few months, whereas others could take years and they may be on the verge of giving up when the company finally decides they are ready to debut. And some trainees may never debut and end up leaving the company or industry. Unfortunately, just because you are a trainee doesn't guarantee you will debut. A lot of it is pure talent and luck combined with sheer dedication.
    For example, Kai tained for 6 years before he debuted and Johnny from NCT trained for 9 years. Although, Johnny trained for 9 years because he was only a trainee part time. Johnny's parents only allowed him to spend summers in Korea, so he could only train for about 3 months when he was on summer break from school. Therefore, although Johnny was a trainee for 9 years, his trainee period, compared to other idols who trained full-time, was actually only about 3 years.

      Junmyeon's injury was unfortunate but at the same time it was a blessing bcs we had the best leader that EXO could have had (in addition to the fact that he also began studying to be an actor at that time), perhaps the group and fandom would have been without him.
      Baekhyun and Chen are an example of idols who practically didnt train and were there at the right time, after 3 months of being trainees (they participated in the same audition) they were chosen to be part of EXO, almost all their training was focused on dancing and "idol stuff" bcs vocally they were more than perfect and debuted as the main vocalist of their respective subunit.

    Yes, you will discover that all the members of EXO -- and most idols in general -- are actors, and all of them have starred in K-dramas and movies and/or are stage actors. Promoting as a group only takes up a few weeks a year -- on average Kpop Idols only promote their latest comeback on music shows and attend variety shows or do interviews, etc. to promote their newest comeback for about 2 weeks -- so in order to fill their time and continue to make money, all Idols have side projects, which means most idols also spend time as TV and movie actors, musical stage actors, models, Radio DJs, authors, music producers, songwriters, regular/main cast members on variety shows, etc. Their side projects also are part of their cross promotions as idols. Someone who doesn't know them may watch them in a drama or movie or see them promoting their favorite brand or product, etc., which leads to them discovering their group and music, or the person may be a fan of them as a singer and this makes them want to watch their movie or drama, etc. It's all about getting their name and face out there in as many ways as possible in order to drive sales and viewership of everything they are involved in.

  • @milindawilson9175
    @milindawilson9175 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +6

    Almost all Kpop groups have an official lightstick. It's a pretty standard item to have for anyone who attends a Kpop event. Therefore, if you Google any group with the word lightstick you will find several sites where they are for sale. But be warned, they are usually fairly expensive because most are more than just a light. :D Kpop merchandise is shipped all over the word, that's why Kpop is so international, they make everything they do available for any fan no matter where they are from.
    EXO was one of the first Kpop artists to have a lightstick with bluetooth technology. (Although a lot of newer versions of other groups' lightsticks now also have bluetooth.) At events and concerts, this allows the lighting technicians to have control of the fans lightsticks in order to make it flash and pulse to the music however and whenever they want. In EXO concerts, the lighting technicians will set up whole light shows using the fans lightsticks that corresponds with the performances on stage, which makes fans even more a part of the show.
    EXO's lightstick is called Pharynx, or more commonly Eribong -- Eri comes from the nickname given to EXO-Ls (EXO's fans) and Bong means light in Korean. EXO's lightstick has EXO's official hexagon symbol on top and it's made up of the letters E X O -- you see the E on the left edge of the hexagon with the X in the center and the 🛑 shape makes the O -- which is close to EXO's original logo for their debut "Mama" MV.
    As you saw, EXO's fan color is "Cosmic Latte" (greyish-tan) -- Cosmic Latte is said to be the color that is created when you combine all the colors of the stars together. (As otherworldly beings, even EXO's official color is linked to the group's concept.) However -- as we see introduced in EXO's "Power" MV -- each of the 9 EXO members also have their own official color.
    Most lightsticks are primarily one color -- whatever color represents the group. For example, BigBang's lightstick is yellow and it has a crown on top because BigBang are known as The Kings of Kpop. SHINee's official lightstick is shaped like a diamond, and if you hold it up to a solid surface and look at the reflection the diamond makes, you will see a 5 point star to represent the 5 members of SHINee. SHINee's symbol is a diamond because they SHINe(e) like diamonds and it lights up an aqua blue/teal color because pearl aqua is SHINee's fan color. NCT's lightstick has a big square block on top, which is supposed to look like a building because NCT and their fans are part of the Neo City, and it lights up Pearl Neo Champaign (neon lime green). Red Velvet's lightstick has the letters RV inside a cupcake shaped dome that lights up red. Mamamoo's lightstick is shaped like a green and white radish because moo sounds like the Korean word for radish. BTS' lightstick is the ARMY bomb so it looks like a TNT-type bomb and it lights up purple. BlackPink has a pink hammer. Stray Kids' lightstick has a red and silver compass symbol on top and it glows red because their official color is red, etc.
    However, what makes EXO's lightstick extra special is that it's multi-colored to represent each of the member's individual colors. And, depending on which member of EXO is on stage at the moment, the lighting technicians often change the color of the lightsticks to the color that represents that member, or goes along with the theme of the stage, etc. (When attending a concert fans now use an app to sink their seat number with their lightstick, so that the lighting technicians can have control of their lightstick.)
    Although, some group's lightsticks aren't even sticks, but they are bracelets or watch-style lights that you can wear. It all depends on the group concept. And some groups that have been around a long time, or whose company likes to continuously come out with new merchandise, have multiple versions of lightsticks. Each are very unique and specific to the group.
    Although, in some older Kpop group's performances, from their older concerts or live performances -- such as any EXO live performance that took place before 2015, which was when EXO's official lightstick was released -- you might see that the audience only has plain stick lights or even just glow sticks, because before there were lightsticks, fans brought or were given glow sticks in the group's color.
    And even before glow sticks were a thing, fans would all wave a balloon that was the color of their group. The disadvantage to waving balloons was that the artists on stage couldn't see the balloons when the lights were off, which is one of the reasons why they now have lightsticks.
    Fun fact: G-Dragon, BigBang's leader, was the one who came up with the idea for the first lightsticks, because he wanted to be able to see and identify all of the VIPs (BigBang's fans) in the audience. G-Dragon was the one who designed the very first lightsticks and they were so popular among VIPs that other groups started to come up with their own versions of fan lights, which has now become a standard part of the Kpop industry.
    During award shows and events where multiple groups are present, the group's lightsticks and balloons are, and were, an important way for fans to show their support for their group and to tell everyone around them who they are there to see, etc.

    LOL Lay didn't say he was good at making French toast, he was making a joke that he is good at making toast -- i.e. put a piece of bread in the toaster and watch it get toasted. The most simple thing anyone can make is toast, as long as you don't burn it then you are good at making toast. :D However, he is being modest because I have seen him cooking on Chinese shows and he knows how to cook a lot more than just toast.

    The fact that Chen is married with children -- he has 2 little girls now -- and still a member of an idol group doesn't sit well with a lot of fringe fans. When it comes to the Korean public there are different standards for what it means to be an idol. Therefore, he and his family have gotten a lot of backlash from anti-fans in the past. The group has been boycotted and some people have even demanded that he be kicked out of the group. That's why, you hardly ever see anything about his private life mentioned anywhere. However, being married as an idol is generally looked at favorably by most international fans.

    Unfortunately, the political climate between Korea and China was only a little better for a short time. However, since this guide was made, China's Idol culture has become even more restrictive after the election of their new president. Plus, Lay left SM Entertainment in 2022 -- when his contract was up after 10 years -- but he has made it clear that he hasn't left EXO. Case in point, he just had his solo comeback with his song "Psychic" and he has even promoted a Korean version of the song on music shows in Korea. In order to avoid any conflict between China and Korea, his album is an All-English album, just like most of his solo releases when he was under SM. Although there are still several obstacles in his way to being able to work with EXO.
    Lay is a megastar in China, literally one of the biggest celebrities in China today. The reason why he is so big in China now, I think is essentially a product of the fact that he could no longer promote with EXO. He first started to do some solo work in China while he was still promoting with EXO, but at that time he was mostly famous in China because of EXO. When the political tensions between Korea and China ramped up, he decided that if he wanted to continue his career, he needed to really focus everything he had in China. That's when he started to establish himself as a solo artist in China and to begin to build his career as a producer, singer, dancer, actor, model and all-around entertainer.
    You should check out Lay's official lyric video for his song "Jiu," a song on his East album, which was released after he announced his departure from SM. This song is evidence that he has not left EXO and that he still considers himself part of the group, as every word of the song is a tribute to EXO. I have also read that on Webo (the Chinese internet server) he mentioned how he was working out a deal with SM that could possibly allow him to still continue to do projects with EXO in the future. (I mean it's possible, afterall that's essentially the deal that Baekhyun, Xiumin, Chen and D.O. have. They have moved their solo promotions to other companies, but they still participate in things with EXO, which is under SM. Lay probably just has a few more stipulations than the other member.) I mean, SM has been supporting Lay in everything he has been doing so far, including endorsing him when he started his idol trainee company Chromosome in China. And I don't think there is any bad blood or uneasy feelings between Lay and SM, so anything is possible.
    Another good sign is that Super Junior's Chinese member Zhoumi, who has also been restricted from being able to work with Super Junior -- another one of SM's legendary second generation groups -- for the past 6 years or so, was actually back in Korea for several months last year and he released a new song with one of his Korean Super Junior members and the song was in both Korean and Mandarin and he even did promotions and appeared on Korean programs while he was there.
    As mentioned, Lay's hiatus from EXO is not something he has chosen, but it's something that has sort of been forced upon him by the government.
    When China first began cracking down on their citizens working in Korea around 2016 -- as a political protest over South Korea's alignment with the U.S. and China's support of North Korea, etc. -- there were rumors that the Chinese government was threatening to revoke the citizenship of any mainland native Chinese person who continued to do business with a Korean company and lived outside of China. This rule would have prevented Idols, such as Lay, from visiting family and doing business in China, etc. The only way for them to avoid this from happening was for them to come back to China right away and stop doing business with their Korean companies. I don't know if this was really true or if it was just a rumor, but that is what I heard. Which would explain why some Chinese Idols don't feel any pressure to stop working in Korea because they have nothing to lose if they don't have family or a life in China or they aren't mainland Chinese citizens, etc.
    Yes, there are lots of Chinese Idols still working in Korea. However, these idols don't have the connections to the Chinese government the way Lay and other idols do. Many of those Chinese idols' careers don't depend on being able to promote or live in China and many Chinese idols don't have close family living in mainland China or they are not from mainland China, which is why they have more immunity from the restrictions placed on Chinese citizens. For example, NCT-Dream's Chinese members don't work very much in China and most of WayV's members are not from mainland China. That is also why SM has created Label V in order to make it possible for WayV to release music in China and its why WayV distances themselves from NCT whenever they promote in China.
    Lay's whole career is tied to being able to work and live in China and he is closely connected to the Chinese government, so he has to tread lightly when it comes to how he conducts himself and who he chooses to associate with, etc. He can't afford to be blacklisted in the Chinese entertainment industry. For a long time, Lay was even discouraged from mentioning EXO by name in TV shows and interviews, but he always finds subtle ways to make it clear that being a member of EXO, and his EXO brothers, are always very important to him.
    We finally got to see Lay in an EXO project in 2021 -- the first time since 2016 (besides his brief solo appearance in EXO's "Tempo" MVs in 2018) -- with EXO's "Don't Fight The Feeling" MV, but he really didn't get to work with EXO because of the pandemic, etc. Everything he did for that MV was done remotely and independently and inserted into the song and MV.
    Lay started out learning how to dance as a trainee when he signed with SM at the age of about 17. According to him, at that time he wasn't a very good dancer and it took him a lot of hard work and time to get to the level that he's at today. Now he has become one of the BEST dancers in China that EVERYONE looks up to.
    Currently his favorite style of dance that he has been focusing a lot of his training on is Krump. Lay is regarded as an industry expert that pretty much all other dancers and musicians look up to -- he has even been credited with making Krump a mainstream dance style in China, and he is one of China's leading experts when it comes to Krump.
    However, he started out by learning popping and locking as a trainee with SM.
    Because of Lay's drive to constantly be learning new things, he is always striving to learn as much as possible and to be as diverse as possible about all styles of dance and cultures. Lay is such a good dancer because he literally is in the dance studio practicing for 6 hours EVERYDAY. (In an episode of Street Dance of China 4 in 2021, he specifically said "I practice for 6 hours every day." And he meant he does it regardless, no matter how busy he is or what he has going on. He even finds time to practice during filming for reality shows that have nothing to do with dance.) I have seen in a documentary where he starts his day around 4 a.m., he gets done with his schedule of events around 9 p.m. and then he spends from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. in the dance studio with his dance mentor dancing.
    That's also why he was given the title of the nation's producer by the Chinese government, and why he has been a mentor/dance instructor and main PD for several Idol trainee survival competition shows in China. (These are programs similar to American Idol, where trainees compete to be chosen to become members of a new idol group.) He is pretty much considered an expert when it comes to dance and performance, and he is beginning to gain the respect of songwriters, composers and music producers from all over the world. He is who everyone, especially in China, looks to as an example of what it takes to be an Idol. He is literally considered one of the most successful celebrities in China.

    Just wanna say, a lot of times when the groups get backlash for the relationships, it's from Korean fans. Typically international fans are very supportive of a members relationship announcement.
    Something similar happened recently to Joshua from Seventeen when he had a dating scandal. A ton of K-fans were outraged while international fans were supportive and tried to drown out the hate he was getting

    Kai is the most sexiest and expressive kpop dancer i have seen. Although i love few others but his expressions and bodylanguage is just sooo effortless..his hands gestures are very delicate. Plz react to his films for 1st and 3rd album. If you want to react to exo album then obsession/exist/dont messup my tempo are cool choices to start with.

    Kai has a sweatshirt with writing in Russian. Not Chinese. This is the “USSR”.
    The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is a historical federal state that existed from 1922 to 1991. It was formed after the end of the Russian Civil War by the Treaty on the Formation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
    Baekhyun’s scarf also has a Russian inscription 😁

    EXO is a group with a strong main vocalist. And the main support vocal sings very well, almost called the main vocal. Also, every member of the band can sing, dance, perform, and rap very well. Perv is good, hype is good, and everyone's facial expressions are good. They can sing for each other or rap for each other. Then debuted with a main vocal that was fierce and powerful from the beginning until now. Top-notch skills including singing, ad-libbing, improvisation, stability, harmony, acapella, high notes, various techniques that still have both old and new fans interested at all times. and resolving various situations well Never die Mike You should go see the medley singing live at the latest 12th anniversary fan meeting where everyone was stunned. Amazing the power of singing, a perfect all rounder, suitable for the big national events where they have been performing all the time, worthy of the status of one of the emperor legends of Kpop is EXO.

    I think what makes people say EXO are "vocal kings of kpop" is just not because the main vocalists are extremely extremely talented in singing. A lot of other groups' fans mention that one idol who can sing well from their favourite group, saying this idol sings extremely good too, comparing them with ChenBaekSoo. I think the real reason why they are called vocal kings are because not only the main vocalists are so amazing in the group, but also if you take any other member, they all can SING so so well. Even the rappers, the dancers sing so great, and that makes the group so special. Unlike some other groups where except the main vocalist not many other can sing, EXO shines individually and as a group as well.

    This might be the same for other idol groups but Exo is the only one I know that is smart in their decisions for the future. Almost all of them have some sort of degree (Xiumin even has a PhD) many of them have side things (Baek has a clothing brand, Chanyeol has an apartment complex) and now three of them have their own company. So when they get too old for idoling they are set for money still.

    Exo is definitely the biggest kpop in China and has a huge influence there.
    Sehun had a movie in china with chinese costars which became like a big deal over there because it got approval to be released despite the political tension between China-SK. Chinese media said that sehun's movie had a big role in opening a new light to end the China-South Korea's political tension and china starting to be open to the idea of korean wave returning in china. It's like exo has a "pass card" there.

    EXO are true artist. They CAN sing and dance. Performance are worth it. I totally agree with you on companies just debuting anybody right now. It’s pretty sad. This is the reason why I’m a SM fan. Yes they are not the best company but they know how to train their future artist. Fun fact. SM is the first company to make pop groups in Korea.They are and made the blueprint. The OG’s. Welcome to the fandom :)

    This Guide is sooo incomplete. Lay is a music maestro and loves fusion. He is a musician, can play guitar piano amd Chinese flute well. He is a writer producer and Top teir Dancer(check out his street dance shows,in one of their shows he balanced a hat on whole of his body from head to toe..see his songs veil and new song Psychic) sometimes he does everything by himself even editing of his songs. And Exo members are so underrated lyricists.chen Chanyeol lay suho are really really good lyricists. Even sehun is a good choreographer.

And yeah, Exo isn't the richest kpop group for nothing, they do everything apart from their music career, you'd be surprised of how rich they are

    Like others have said, exo is insane popular in china, and lay is the most popular of them like it's crazy. he's been promoting in china since 2017 because of the political stuff but literally this past week he finally released a korean song and promoted in korea for the first time in 7 years :,). so things are looking good for his return to exo! You should check out the members' solos because they're all so diverse each member has their own style and color. the subunits too. Hahahahah the exo members all act except for chen, though chen did act in a musical in 2013! Pls react to the obsession and the war albums next!! ^^
