Host: We have EXO-M here with us today, welcome!
EXO: We are One! We are EXO-M

Host: Really really polite, did the company make it a rule to this greeting or?
Kris: To us respect is really important and we are a new group after all so it should be a must

Host: Ah, really polite, would you care to do an introduction of yourselves first?
(EXO-M introduction)

Host: We have 2 korean members right, all of you have been living in korea am I right?
Kris: Yes, we don’t have a problem communicating in korean!
Host: Oppa! Saranghaeyo!
Kris: That’s I love you oppa
Host: Oh you said it to me! You got tricked! Are fans envious of me now because your leader just said he loves me. I’ve seen your fans and they are all so polite, I went out to ask them if they have a fanclub name but they said no. Do you have any preference in which you want your fanclub to be named?

Everyone: Nope, we haven’t thought of it.
Host: I’ve heard of EXO-K, together with EXO-M, why is your group named like that?
Kris: We are a huge group, EXO. Basically EXO-M and EXO-K are twins who will perform under the same skies just in different languages. Like brothers

Host: All of you are aliens, we are from Earth, welcome to earth! I’ve watched all of your teaser and your fans probably would have too and we are all amazed. How many days did you take to film those teasers?
Kris: Actually it depends, for mine it took a day
Lay: Mine took a day too, I danced a lot for during the filming, but I personally find dancing enjoyable so I didn’t mind

Host: What’s your role in the group?
Lay: I’m mainly focused on the dance segments.
Host: So the most difficult moves are done by you?
Lay: Pretty much, but everyone’s dance skills are good. Nowadays I’ve been practicing floor moves, but it’s not perfect yet
Host: Ah, you’re so humble. Can we have the other
members speak about their filming as well

Host: The member who keeps translating for the Koreans please speak of your teaser filming
Luhan: Mine too one day to film as well because after filming there’s editing too. I can be considered the assistant lead singer in the group
Host: Is the leader the lead singer?
Luhan: Chen is the lead singer.
Host: Who actually gives all these roles to all of you?
Luhan: The company did, the roles were split according to how high their pitches could go and Chen can go a higher note than me therefore he is the lead singer

Host: Chen I’m curious to know how high your notes can go
Chen: I’m sorry I can’t do the live demo now but I’m my high notes are probably stronger so maybe that’s why
Xiumin: Mine was filmed for about 3 days, separately , not 3 consecutive days

Host: Tao I’ve seen your teaser, you do martial arts, am I right? Was it done using special effects?
Tao: No, I’ve been learning martial arts since kindergarten but I got an injured once so I stopped for a while so I did that stunt personally
Host: Is the injury serious?
Tao: No it won’t affect my performance on stage
Host: So are you the member who’s in charge of fighting
Tao: No my role in the group is a rapper

Host: You debuted on the 8th am I right? Were all of you satisfied with your performance?
Kris: When we performed in shen zhen that day all of us were nervous so we did make mistakes, but not really huge ones. Just in conclusion that performance wasn’t perfect and it could have been better

Host: Maybe we can’t tell the mistakes, but nervousness can’t be avoided. Is there a method EXO uses to decrease the stress and anxiety because a performance?
Kris: We have a specific group gesture that we do to cheer each other on. (Members all did a demo)
Host: It sounds like “sayonara”
Kris: No, it basically means that we are one and we’ll cheer each other and love each other no matter what

Host: We are really honored to have your group at Sohu just a few days after debut. MAMA also has it’s mini album, MAMA means mother but does your song have any relation to mother?
Luhan: No MAMA in this case means someone of a higher authority, like a god. It just has its unexplainable meaning.
Host: I’ve seen the MV and it’s really good, how long did you take to produce MAMA, the choreography and songs?
Luhan: We took about 1-2 months to master it because the dance was pretty hard.
Host: is there a dance move that is pretty simple for me to learn?
Luhan: The one part at the end, it goes “MAMA MAMA” (whole group does the hand gesture)

Host: Was there any interesting events that happened during the MV filming?
Kris: I do have one, because we all have our special elements, for example water or ice. Mine is a dragon and there was a scene where I have to jump and flip off the building. Initially I thought it would be done with special effects, but after that I was told by the director that I would have to do it personally, with the help of wires. When we arrived at the set I realized there were many different camera angles prepare and I had to flip backwards more than 100 times just for that scene, but it ended well

Host: Yes, the end product as we can see from the MV was rather good
Tao: When I was filming my teaser, it was a fighting scene and I was really nervous and lost then. I didn’t know what I was doing and repeated some moves many times.
Host: So can I consider you as a martial arts expert? Will you want to take up martial arts films? Do you fight?
Tao: Apart from practicing, I don’t fight. But yes if I get the opportunity I would love to do a martial arts film

Host: Are your ages revealed? Can I talk about them?
Kris: Yes
Host: So Tao is the youngest, how old are you?
Tao: I am the youngest within this group, but not the youngest in EXO. I’m 19 this year
Host: Hurry up address me as uncle!
Tao: Uncle
Host: Next we’ll have Lay sing and play the guitar
(Lay performs)

Host: How long have you learnt the guitar for? Maybe
if you have a concert we’ll see more of your talents and performances
Lay: I’ve been learning for 2 years
Host: That was really good if I didn’t see that it was you I would have thought it was David Tao! (known Chinese artist) So Kris is the leader, why is he the leader?
Tao: Kris has a really great sense of responsibility and because he is bilingual (English, Korean and Chinese and some cantonese) , so the members chose him.

Host: Is Kris the oldest?
Kris: No actually Luhan, Xiumin and I are the same age.
Host: Well luhan looks younger
Kris: Among the 3 of them I’m actually the youngest
Host: Let’s have the fairest member speak
Xiumin: Me?
Host: Yes you
Xiumin: I don’t have any special method of maintaining
my skin tone, just constantly washing my face.

Host: Ah, naturally fair. So there are a few Chinese members here, have all of you gone home ever since joining SM?
Kris: Depends on how busy the company is, normally it’s 1 to 2 times. It just happened that during a few new years I haven’t gone home.
Lay: There was once when I didn’t get to go home for 1 and a half years.
Host: So what are your family member’s thoughts on you
debuting?
Lay: They are really glad I’m debuting and I hope they take care of themselves well.
Tao: I really miss home too, and I hope my parents will take care of their health.

Host: I apologize for bringing this topic up early in the morning, for the Korean members they probably got it easier?
Xiumin: Yes we still do get to meet our parents when we were training
Host: Korean members do you take care of Chinese members a lot when you are in korea because they don’t get to go home. Like do you invite them over to your house?
Xiumin: Because Chinese member’s Korean are all really good so they can plan and take care of themselves too. Sometimes when I want to take care of them it feels unnecessary because they organize their lives pretty well too. But we do invite them over at times

Host: Afterall you are a group now, so in the next segment I hope to see how well all of you know each other
1. Who eats the most? Tao
Tao: Since young I liked eating so maybe that’s the reason I eat the most

2. Who is the laziest? Luhan
Luhan: I always don’t hear the alarm when it rings!

Host: So who are the roommates in your group?
Chen: I share a room with Kris, Luhan and Lay in one room, and Tao and Xiumin in one room. I can’t share a room with xiumin because we need to interact more in Chinese
Host: Can the Korean members speak a sentence in Chinese?
Xiumin: Really brilliant!
Chen: Very good!

Host: All you can say are encouraging words, learn a tongue twister from me?
Xiumin: Really difficult!
(They tried the tongue twister but failed)

Host: Does any of you have a girlfriend?
Everyone: Nope
Host: Does the company not allow any of you to have one?
Kris: It’s just we all have our careers as our top priority and we don’t have time and are really busy

Host: Speak of your ideal type of girl
Kris: I like kind hearted girls, can take care of others, someone who is really filial. Must be able to cook too
Yixing: Cute, can do house chores and must be really filial

Host: So you and leader have the same ideal types, if it happens that you fall for the same girl will you give in to him
Yixing: Yes I would, we are brothers after all. It all depends on fate and who she would choose!
Luhan: My ideal type is someone who is gentle and soft spoken kind
Host: Luhan are you not awake yet! You are really quiet today. Xiumin what about you?
Xiumin: A girl who is cuddly
Chen: Someone who can take care of me, like a noona, age doesn’t really matter to me

Host: Is it because since young you lack parent’s love that you like noonas?
Chen: No it’s not that I just like someone to take care of me
Tao: I gave it somethought when I got home yesterday because I was asked this question yesterday. Maybe someone pretty, someone with a good body. For me as long as she has a good personality, be it cute or mature, I don’t really mind

Host: Luhan you were scouted on the streets?
Luhan: I was a little afraid when that SM lady approached me, she asked for my name and gave me a namecard

Host: The other members got into SM through auditions? Was training tough and how many hours did you all train?
Lay: When I first got to China, training was for around 12 to 14 hours a day, it was basically just sleeping eating and training every day. But after a while I got an injury so the number of training hours a day lessened

Host: Have any of you thought of giving up because it was too tiring
Kris: For me because I trained for 4 years and I didn’t get to go home during new year, I was really upset and because all my friends went home so I was alone, I thought of calling home but that would have made me miss them more so I hestitated
Host: Did any of you cry because you’ve missed your parents?
Kris: Yes. Everyone did

Host: Let me ask a questions, who cries the most in your team?
Everyone: Tao
Tao: I’m just generally easily touched so I tear at quite a lot of things. Like if the other members tell me ghost stories or I hear of anything ghost related, I’ll cry. Also during movies or just any touching stories, I would get emotional too

Host: Recently sohu is holding an idol search competition, do you all have any words for the contestants who have dreams like all of you?
Tao: I have this really motivational quote that keeps me going all the time, “Nothing in the world is impossible to me” I hope you all believe that too and keep going!
Chen: Don’t give up your dreams and keep going forward, just like how I’ve got here today, please keep working hard!
Xiumin: I have a favorite Chinese sentence which is “Really great, jiayou!”
Luhan: Please don’t give up your dreams and keep working towards it!
Lay: As long as you work hard you’ll succeed, keep going
Kris: All of us are around the same age and at this stage everyone should have some fun and just take up challenges, so have confidence in yourself, as long as you do you’ll make it, work hard!

Host: Can we see the rings that you are wearing on your hand?
Kris: EXO ring
Luhan: This is EXO’s logo
Chen: This is the ring that actually gives me my power, lightning

Host: I hope through this interview you will mind the questions I have asked because there is bound to be a lot more information we still don’t know but would like to find out. And also because of your debut and luhan’s birthday which is coming soon, Sohu has prepared a birthday cake for all of you.
(cake cutting)

Host: We can also share the cake with all the fans outside, and do you all have anything you would want to say to your them?
Kris: It was really motivating and touching to see so
many fans at the airport fetching us that day, we hope all you will keep supporting us in the future
Lay: We will really work hard to present more songs and more amazing performances to all of you, thank you for your support and concern
Luhan: Really thankful for your support and we hope to show you more of EXO-M’s charm
Xiumin: Really love everyone and thank all of your for your support, I’ll work hard at learning Chinese to speak to all of you more
Tao: Please continue loving and support EXO-M and also EXO-K, thank you so much
Chen: Thank you for all your support

ALL about Lay In Seven Years

From 2005 to 2012, I suddenly realize that I’ve been supporting Zhang Yixing(Lay) for nearly 7 years. I’ve been thinking about writing something down about Lay, but as my writing is not satisfying, I didn’t start it untill now.

It was 2005 that I started to pay close attention to him. I was interested in the Star Academic(a variety show held by Hunan eTV ) at that time. At first, I didn't even consider about supporting anyone, but later on Lay attracted all my attention. I started to look forward to every single contest that Lay would show up, and I really expected that he would get more one-shots. He Quan, Love You , Xi Shua Shua……I felt so grateful everytime when he sang. Although he ended up being in the third place, it was fantastic for him as he was only a 14-year-old kid,

After the contest, Yixing went back to school and rarely appeared in our sight. It was the time that I joined his Baidu Zhang Yixing Bar. As time went by, more and more people left and it was only 4 or 5 people left. Instead of leaving ,we decided to stay and support. At the year 2008, a friend of mine once told me that he heard in a café that Yixing went to SM Entertainment. I did not know how to explain my feeling at that time. As long as he thought that it was the right choice, it seemed like I feel nothing. Since then, I began to pay close attention to SM Entertainment.

I had seen him several times after that. I still remember that one day it was hot at first and then it became windy afterwards. AA (one of my friend) and I were a little bit nervous at the beginning, but Lay seemed very amiable as there was always warm smile on his face. We hanged out together as friends for a long time, and he even played guitar, sang songs and danced for us. As AA was not from Changsha (Lay’s hometown), I planned to show her around. The wind was blowing heavily when we went out, and Lay said: “it’s pretty windy today. Since you are in T-shirt, let’s stay in the café and chat for a little bit more instead. I’ll show you guys around next time.” I finally figured out that Lay was very considerate.
Soon after that we met several times. Once I went to the airport to see him off gave me a deep impression. That day he asked me a question which I do not even know the answer now. When I was sitting in the waiting area with him, waiting for check-in, lay gave me many snacks that he was about to bring to Korea, and he kept asking me if I am thirsty. He said: “AA, you’ve supported me for a very long time, right? 1,2,3,4, it is 4 years already (actually it was 5 years at that time). Thank you for supporting me that long. As you see, I didn’t really do anything during these years. Why would you support me this long?” I did not even think of that he would ask me such a question, and I was in shock for a while. I could not think of a reasonable answer. Why would I support him for this long? I did not even think about this before, but I just made it. Maybe it’s his outgoing personality; maybe it’s his gentleness; or maybe it is everything he has. Right now when I recall the memory that day, it seems a little bit stupid to answer “I don’t know”. Although I may not have a accurate answer to that question, I would like to say: because you deserve to be supported.

In order to debut sooner, Yixing became busier and busier. His practicing time became longer and longer. He often went back very late to dorm, and he became thinner and thinner. Every time we asked about his life, he just said that I am fine, no worries. Every time we told him to take care, he just said that he needed to pay more efforts. As the other members were so talented, he needed to practice more to get a debut chance. Every time when he said like this, it was hard for us to blame him.

At the end of 2010, finally good news came out. Yixing would take place of the wounded Shinee member Kim Jonghyun to dance for Shinee's concert.We began to search for the video on the Internet when we got the news, hoping to see him on stage. Even there were a little Yixing’s scenes, I was very satisfied.
Yixing became better-known after this concert. Many new members joined the bar after they saw his performance. It was delightful to see more and more people supporting Yixing. Didn’t it mean that Yixing became closer and closer to his dream because of his persistence and great efforts?
.
As the fan clun became more official, we began to set up working team although there were not a lot people. As the age 20 may be one of
the significant periods of time in life, we decided to prepare something for Yixing’s birthday. But we got puzzled about what to give as a present. But as he had not debuted yet, we cannot collect money from fans. Therefore, all the members in working team decided to raise money. But as we were minority and we cannot afford expensive gifts, the present we ended up giving to him was not really fancy. But Yising kept say thank you in case he did not thank us enough. He said: “TT, don’t be this nice to me right now, because I don’t know how to pay you guys back. I haven’t really debuted yet. If once I debut, it can show that I really did put many efforts, but right now I am nothing.” But seriously, Yising, no matter you debut or not. Your great efforts are for all to see.

As there were rumors about the debut of a new SM boy group which was confirmed at the end of 2011, all of us were anxious about whether Yising would be in the team. Fortunately, SM gave us a wonderful gift~! Yixing’s teaser had been released. We were so excited. But soon after that, we felt like actually he deserved it. all of his efforts got paid back.



It has been 7 years that we are looking forward to his debut. Although there might be difficulties in the future, but I believe that more and more people are going to be here with Yising, striving and moving forwardly.

Please take out with FULL CREDIT

The birthday party just ended. The boys are so cute.! should i write some fann acc? Sehun is sooooo cute and shy to do the aekyo again!

we are not allowed to take even our bag into the room

Suho is so new to the role of leader. LOL even at the party he still needs to read the script at the event,

Every fan who got in has the number and Sehun draw 2 lucky numbers and EXO gave them each autographs signed on the mini album.

Then fans asked for more drawing number for lucky fans but they don't have any to give the fans so they gave 2 b-day hats to lucky fans.

Fans got to ask Sehun 3 questions and Sehun is the one who picked them. The first question is who are you closed to the most?

Sehun didn't answer right away. He keeps saying he is closed to everyone. But fans asked him to pick one in M group.

Sehun is shy and didnt answer right away and he finally said that he is closed to everyone (in M too).

My friends are in the first row and they all shout "isn't it TAO? TAO TAO!!!" hahahaha so funny. Baekhyun said Luhan?

The second question if im not mistaken is fan asked him the age of noona he will like. Fan shouted 5 years? Sehun said age is doesnt matter.

The last question fan asked him to do 애교 since he failed to do it at showcase. Sehun is so shy and doesnt want to do it so he said next time.

But fans shouted do it now do it now and he said he cant. Kai said Sehun can do many 애교 but he still shy so fan said they all did it tgt.

D.O. made a really funny face when he heard that like he didnt want to do 애교 so Kai told Sehun to do 뿌잉 뿌잉 and finally Sehun did it. Haha

But Sehun' 뿌잉 뿌잉 is not as cute as my Panda Tao when he did it. Haha i still think he failed anyway. Hahahaha

Sehun is very happy and surprised.

It was very funny when the manager brought the cake. Other members are busying try to eat the cake and no one pay attention at what Suho said.

Chanyeol took out the chocolate piece and feed Sehun. D.O try to eat strawberry with both of his hands holding the cake so he use his mouth.

Kai was eating the cake by his fingers and didnt pay attention to Sehun so the manager came in again to take out the cake. They are such kids!

Every member gave Sehun birthday wish and hugged him. They seemed to love thier 막네 so much. Actually Kai was little akward to say something cheesy.

That is pretty much the main things that happened at B day event. At the end D.O sing and they dance MAMA for a lil bit. ^_^
