Lay did spend a lot of money (heard that the bugget is even higher than lit) on the flying apsaras mv. He flew 150 staff members and dancers to the desert and a well known world heritage site called Mogao Grottoes, also known as Caves of the Thousand Buddhas, to shoot the mv. The Flying Apsaras are often considered a symbol of the Mogao Grottoes, painted in Mogao caves 1600 years ago. In the dance practice, Lay incorporated many traditional dance moves and gestures painted on the caves. The reason for him to release only 40s is because, as he said, he’s not fully satisfied with the rest of the mv. I really hope he’ll drop the full version soon, but I respect his decision. As we all know, Lay never settles for less.

Lit is such a deep song if you look into it. Lay is known to associate Chinese words to English words. ‘Lian’ is word for lotus which is close sounding to ‘lit’ so that’s why he titled it. Many haters call him the white lotus due to it being so white. They call him this because they say he has a false personality and he rides his friends and coworkers coattails to fame. In this mv he pretty much accepted the titles but put his own twist on it. White lotus grow in the most dirtiest and muddiest places so he said even with the dirty talks and bad experiences he went through he’s still true and pure to himself. He just reminded China and it’s haters “hey I’m the boss deal with it”. Oh and the dragon symbolizes his fans and that we are always guarding over him. Also he said the beginning is important because it is based off a true historical moment. A Chinese general/leader was over the greatest army but was then back stabbed and killed by his own men. Lay said this was his favorite story hearing of growing up. Lay inspires me to continue to grow and only accept perfection that there is more that I can achieve.

Lay is one of the main dancer of EXO, together with Kai and Sehun. A lead vocalist and all-rounder too. They are amazing individually. 6 out of 9 members have solo album/s. Kai is working for his 2nd album, and hopefully Sehun and Xiumin debut album soon. There's a 40sec visualizer of Flying Apsaras. You should watch it, it's like a movie trailer.

He is Lay Zhang, how are people supposed to beat him if he keeps getting better and better every day!

About Lay's hiatus: It started back then bc China and South Korea don't see eye-to-eye on certain things like policies. Basically, if he kept participating fully in the group, it would be taken the wrong way back in China as going against their policies. He didn't want to leave the group, so he went on "hiatus"... I mean he still flew to Korea to be with the members sometimes but the music was a no-no. Recently, things have improved a little bit tho and that's why he was able to be on EXO's recent album and put into the music video. Plus, the pandemic isn't helping and he's suuuuuper busy in China since he's like the top artist there right now. Like he does everything 😂 I hope all that made sense.

Lay is part of the latest release of exo, don't fight the feeling. He can be heard in the entire album. He is EXO's Lay after all. And Lay Zhang as a soloist is superb too. He is a performer, composer, producer, writer, actor, and CEO of his own entertainment agency. He also has his own studio in China. His vision is to introduce chinese music to the world by incorporating them with modern sound. Lay has never left to be honest. It's bec of his busy schedule in China and some political conflicts bet the countries that made it impossible to be with his members. But he has always expressed his support and love for his members.
@kyungsoosings23622 жыл бұрын
Thanks Graysplays. Kai and Lay are the main dancers of Exo, since they were scouted in grade school days like all members. We're talking 2004-2008. So he is an original member from pre-debut songs from 2011. He is the only Chinese member in today's Exo. And that is today's 9 member Exo. Right now all members are in rotational military service...all Korean males must do mandatory military service before the age of 29....18-24 months. D.O. and Xiumin have finished and are home, Suho and Chen left last year, Chanyeol and Baekhyun just left this April-May, and that leaves the 2 youngest, Kai and Sehun (Sehun is also one of Exo's main dancers) It's rumored Kai is next to leave, but no date given. In 2014-2015, 3 other Chinese members left Exo, leaving everyone in fear that Lay may follow suit. But no. OT 12, or the younger Exo, had 12 members. They were divided into 2 groups, ExoK with 6 Korean members, and ExoM with 4 Chinese members and 2 Korean members. ExoK sang in Korean, and ExoM in Mandarin. But the 12 members all spoke both languages. SM created them that way so they could cater to the soon to be Chinese fans, a marketing strategy. But all 12 toured and appeared on stage, tv, in the public eye as the 12 member Exo. 2014-2015 was a hard time for Exo. Having established incredible worldwide popularity, and throughout all of Asia, they were the IT group starting in 2013. But controversy hit the news when Kris, then Luhan, then Tao left the group and went back to China. So everyone thought Lay would leave too. But no. Lay loves being a part of Exo, with his brothers he grew up with. Lay is an amazing dancer, a master krumper, contemporary and jazz, and groovy r&b style, he was inspired by MJ and others of that genre. Lay is a songwriter and singer. He has been an actor since 6 years old. He has been an entertainer his whole life. When Lay wanted to do a solo album in Chinese, SM said he could go to China to do it. They didn't help him. SM sucked in that regard, and I sense the hidden racism between the 2 nationalities. So with SM'S blessing Lay left in 2016-2017 and had help from known friends in the industry in China to help him form a team. Lay put out his own money to produce his first album...wrote the songs and produced everything himself (he had MONEY of his own) and his solo career took off big time. But he got to do what he wanted, how he wanted. But still under SM contract, SM got their cut regardless. SM can really suck. But Lay always wanted to show his styles of dancing and singing different genres the way HE likes, he learned English to promote his album "Namanana" in the states, with solo concerts. He was well received. But he always wanted to bring his culture into his music. He has free range to do what he wants and I love that he's incorporated traditional sounds mixed with modern elements. He does not follow what is trendy or commercial in today's scene, he's doing his thing and I love it. I'm not Asian but have loved all types of Asian music since a kid. Anyway, in 2017, political tensions between China and South Korea were rising. Riots and protests were escalating when Lay was in China making his first album. With every intention to go back to Korea and join Exo again, he couldn't. Borders were closed and travel for a while was stopped. And with many haters between the two countries at the time, many frowned upon Lay as a national being in a S. Korean music group. Lay basically had to lay low, and just focused on his music in the meantime. The conflict between the 2 countries stemmed from the US military (S.Korean ally stationed throughout S.Korea), installing THAAD, an anti-ballistic missile defense system designed to intercept missiles that were a a real threat at the time from the crazy leader in North Korea. But this installment, although pointing towards N. Korea, also points towards China. China loses the element of surprise in warfare, and it became a heated hatred, in both countries. People died in these massive protests, and the hatred was real for the better part of that year. So Lay has been stuck in China since then, and is not able to join Exo, unless the situation gets better. Of course the government's eyes are all around....and Lay can visit Korea, and has a few times, met up with his members and talk and eat out and drink and have fun....but he still has to go back to China. And although Lay has a massive following, all Exols and tons of Chinese fans, Exols support each and every Exo member no matter what they do...there are still haters out there, in China and Korea. Lay's song "Lit" eludes to the fact that no one can stop him doing his music. Since 2017, Lay has established an extremely successful solo career. He's a dancer, singer, rapper, songwriter/composer, producer, filmaker, and choreographer. He has his own production company Zhang Yixing Studios, and personal management teams that cater to him 24/7. He is so successful, he was in Forbes magazine as "one of the most influential people" list, THREE TIMES, starting when he was in Exo, till today. He works so hard and never rests. He's a perfectionist. He's a big time producer in China, and a very well known celebrity. He won "Music Producer of the Year" in China, he never stops. He's also a well known actor and has been in countless movies and dramas aside from the albums and music, and appearances on tv and variety shows, especially The Street Dance Battle China series....some seriously awesome dancers on that show. But Lay did this all himself, aside the haters...thank god there are way more people like me who love and always support him more than there are haters. And that support is worldwide.... Lay is one of the richest men in China right now. Although when he left Exo to go to China to just try his luck with a solo album (already affluent from his Exo success)..then come back to tour with Exo but couldn't. ...he is still a member of Exo, and he says it in his "Individual Guide by Cesar Oh". A great guide. Lay is a workaholic. And Lay is beyond a millionaire. He spent his own money to produce the "Lit" mv, $1.4 million. He is very professional and technical. Lay has started his own company (more work) "Chromasome Entertainment", he's the CEO and will help train aspiring singers, dancers and rappers. He does it all. But now you have the lowdown on Lay, or his real name Yixing (Yee-shing). He is one incredible human being. Lay is art personified. 💙🌺
@milindawilson91752 жыл бұрын
The story in the "Lit" MV, Lay said, is based on his favorite Chinese historical figure. In the MV he is portraying a Chinese general who has been trapped by the Han soldiers while trying to rescue his wife. The general is a real historical figure named Xiang Yu, who fought in the battle of Gaixia. In the beginning of the MV you hear a Peking opera singer performing “The Song of Gaixia” (A traditional Chinese Opera song) which is a song that Xiang Yu composed for his wife, Lady Yu, who eventually took her own life. (Fun fact: In Lay's song "Jade" which is a song also on this album, the story is supposed to be about Lady Yu and Xiang Yu's love story.) Lay is an ambassador for China, so one of his goals is to share Chinese culture with the world. One way he is doing this is by creating his own style of music which he has labeled M-pop. M-Pop stands for Mixed-pop, which means he mixes traditional Chinese elements and sounds with mainstream pop and hip-hop beats and styles -- combining old school Chinese culture with new modern hip-hop and contemporary beats and styles. As he says in "Lit," "I am the King ... bringing China to the world." And that's pretty much a fact: He has king-maker status in the music and entertainment industry and he has a lot of international influence which allows him to bring Chinese culture to the world. Everything about this song and MV is a poetic, cinematic masterpiece. For example, the word Lotus in Chinese sounds a little like Lit in English. (Another play on words, just like the Chinese pronunciation of Jade sounds like Yu, or you in English, which Lay cleverly used in his song "Jade." Get it? Jade = Yu and Jade = you.) Lay used lotus (Lit) as a metaphor for no matter how hard people try to bring him down, he will stand strong and survive through anything the world throws at him, like a lotus flower. The Lotus often represents purity. The Lotus is special because it grows in the mud, but out of the most dirty and unforgiving conditions, blooms one of the most beautiful flowers. The Lotus is a famous symbol in Chinese culture and it often represents how something good and pure can grow and triumph despite what you would think are harsh conditions. Lay has said that the idea for "Lit" comes from the fact that his haters have been calling him "White Lotus," which refers to someone who acts innocent, and uses it for his gain and plays the victim all the time. So when he wrote the song he took that negativity and embraced it and turned it into something positive. So, in other words, he is saying: "You thought you could bring me down, but you are wrong. I am not a fake white lotus, but I am a true lotus who is LIT. I am more powerful than you know and I will rise above all your negativity and show you how I grow even stronger and more beautiful no matter how much mud and dirt I have to go through," etc. As you may know, the dragon is a very powerful symbol in Chinese culture and it is even said that if you are Chinese you are a descendant of the dragon. Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize vitality, strength and good luck. In one interview I read, Lay also talked about how he has two dragons inside him -- a good dragon and a bad dragon. He said he always chooses to listen to the good dragon. The good dragon is the one who is protecting him and helping him through all his hardships and difficult times. So the main theme of "Lit" is about fighting his inner self and learning to ignore and overcome the people who are trying to knock him down. As you have discovered, Lay is is a singer, rapper, songwriter, composer, producer actor, director, editor, dancer, designer, etc. -- genius -- and with every new release of his, he just one ups himself. And "Lit" is a prime example of that. If you study the credits at the end of this video, you see that this MV was produced by Zhangyixing Studios, which is named after Lay (Zhang Yixing is Lay's real name, Lay is a stage name given to him by SM Entertainment) -- he owns the studio. So, the credits show, Lay has his hand in almost every aspect of this production. It's his name you will see dozens of times in the credits. He is the one that wrote and composed the song, he even produced the beat himself. He is also executive producer (So this production was all financed by him), he came up with the storyline, he helped choreograph and he helped direct the MV, etc. But that's normal for Lay's solo work. With Lay, when you ask who did it? -- for any part of the song, MV or choreography -- you are pretty much guaranteed that the answer is: Lay. He does it all. He is such a perfectionist that there is almost nothing that he is involved in that he doesn't have 100% control of himself. He prides himself in the fact that all aspects of his music are created by him. This MV took more than 6 months to make and more than $1.4 million to produce. And it was all done by Lay. They actually filmed at one of the largest and most well known film studios in China and had more than 50 extras. What you saw was the real temple. The dragon was CGI, but the rest of the set is all real. You should really check out the making of film kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rsV7Zpyf2ampiKs.html and Lay's "dance practice"/choreography video for "Lit." kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7-Vmdxnzt2Ucac.html to really see how things were made. Lay's catchphrase is "Balance" which means that when it comes to choreography and synchronization it has to have balance. If it's not balanced then it's not good. So his attention to detail when he creates music and choreography is on point. Like all of SM's top dancers, Lay is super dedicated when it comes to dance and music. Within the Chinese music industry and dance community, 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. (Lay's Krump teacher is Trix who is from Korea and is considered one of the best Krumpers in the industry.) Lay has even recently started his own Idol trainee company in China called Chromosome -- with SM's blessing -- where he plans to use his skill and knowledge to influence the world entertainment industry and to pass his experience on to the next generation, etc. Lay's dancers are always very international, they are usually from all over the world, all races and genders and they speak all different languages. Lay's goal is always to seek out the best of the best and to surround himself with experts in everything he does. He wants to learn as much as possible and to be as diverse as possible about all styles of dance and cultures. And he doesn't just casually learn a new style of dance, when Lay puts his mind to something he goes all in and immerses himself in it with a goal of becoming the best at it. That is why he is regarded as an expert at so many different things, because he becomes so involved and studies and practices so much -- he is literally in the dance studio for 6 hours every day -- that he eventually surpasses his teachers.

"Honey" is another one of Lay's solo English songs and it's in English because it was a follow up to his previous album Namanana. (Namanana was Lay's 2018 U.S. debut album so all the songs on that album have an all English version.) You heard Lay listening to his song "Give Me a Chance" on his earbuds at the beginning of the "Honey" MV and that is one of his songs and MVs from his Namanana album. When it comes to EXO, one thing you have to keep in mind is that absolutely everything they are involved in is connected to their concept and storyline, including a majority of the members' solo work. So, the story in Lay's "Honey" MV is just another piece of EXO's story. To explain the story in "Honey," some fan theories say that the fact that the weather lady on the TV is talking about the changing weather and the pressure system could be a nod to the unsettled conditions within EXO's current storyline and how currently the members are struggling to distance themselves from the Red Force, etc. And because you hear her speaking with a British accent this might be a clue to tell us where Lay is right now within EXO's storyline, and it might explain why the other EXO members seem to be sending him messages -- as we see with the bee and the blackout, etc. If you follow EXO's storyline than you know that they are supposed to be aliens from Planet Exo, who came to Earth to find and protect the Tree of Life from the evil Red Force. All the members of EXO have superpowers and they are on a mission to protect humanity from the evil and corruption caused by the Red Force. Most of EXO's powers have weather and nature elements that could be affected by and effecting the weather around the world. Some theories say, the mechanical bee has been sent by either one or more of the EXO members or it could be sent by the Red Force. The bee is either a message or a warning sent to Lay (although I am not fully confident as to what that exact message is.) And I think, the fact that the bee passes through the glass, might be Kai using his power of teleportation to allow it to pass through it -- or more like, transported to the other side of the glass. And then the lights in the entire city go out as if in a blackout, which I think might be Baekhyun using his power, which is the ability to control light, or Chen, who has the ability to control electricity. Plus, as Lay's power counterpart, it makes sense that Baekhyun would feel the pull to want to find Lay. Chen is a member of EXO-M along with Lay, so he would also have a heightened reason to want to find Lay. EXO needs Lay to help protect them and to heal all the things that are going on around them. And Kai's whole mission is to find the other EXO members and bring them back together to stop the Red Force. Also, I think it's interesting that Lay, as a member of EXO, has the power of healing, and honey is known for its natural homeopathic healing and medicinal properties. And in parts of the MV we see Lay submerged in a pool of honey, almost as if he might be using it to recharge and gain strength. I have no idea what this all means, but I just thought it was an interesting parallel. If you notice the part of the choreography where Lay is standing in the middle and the dancers are all round him as he spins around, I am pretty sure that is supposed to be depicting a flower as it blooms which is what is attracting the "bee" to him. :D On the flip side, the story in the song also is saying that Lay is a bee and he is looking for his "honey" that's why he is in a honeycomb/beehive or in a pool of honey the whole time. I think what he is saying in the lyrics is that "Be my honey and be available to me when I want you, but 'please don't catch no feelings' because you have to know that we can have fun together, but I can't invest all my time and energy into you the way I should if we were in a relationship." In other words, he is too busy and too popular to be exclusive right now. He needs to keep the girl at a safe distance for both of their emotional safety, etc. This also plays into the theory within EXO's storyline that the "girl" is a manifestation of the heart of the Tree of Life and that is why the members of EXO are always rescuing or protecting the girl, etc. And why all of EXO's songs are about being in love with a girl or being controlled by the power of the girl. Which could possibly explain the lyrics in "Honey" if you think of the girl as the heart, it might explain why Lay "wants her" but needs to keep her at a distance to protect her, etc. When you think of the girl as the heart of the Tree of Life, you begin to see even more parallels to EXO's story and even more ways to connect even more of it all together. Did you notice the spinning honeycomb in the middle of the MV? That spinning honeycomb is a nod to the fact even as a solo artist, he is still part of EXO. The hexagon is EXO's symbol and if you pay close attention at that spinning honeycomb you will see that it says EXO in the middle as it spins. So this is Lay's and SM's way of making sure that we never forget that he is part of EXO and that even if he isn't able to work with the group, he still makes sure to show just how important they are to him. As you can see, EXO's MVs are more complex than what you see on the surface. However, often -- although the stories in the MVs are loosely based on the lyrics -- many times the story in the MV and the lyrics in the song are two separate things. The lyrics don't necessarily always go with the story in the MV. Often EXO's songs are about being in love with a girl and wanting to be with her, but the story in the MV is about them working to complete their mission and to fight against the Red Force, etc. Everything EXO does has many layers and it has multiple means and messages, including any of the member's solo work. There are always two levels to every EXO song, one designed to grab the casual listener that has no idea about EXO's storyline, and one that, if you look deeper, you discover has hidden meanings and messages that all connects to EXO's mission here on Earth. For any of us that know EXO, and especially Lay, "Honey" is kind of exactly what we would expect from him. This is just the sexy, cool kind of song and amazing choreography that Lay is known for. All the guys want to be him and all the girls want to be with him. If you look at the credits for this album, Lay, once again wrote and composed and produced this song and the whole album himself, including the English lyrics. He even created the beats himself. And he also helped choreograph and direct the MV, etc. When it comes to Lay's solo work he pretty much does it all himself. He has a hand in all aspects of his solo projects. And that is why he is known as China's national producer. Lay is one of the top dancers in the industry and it's his solo work where he really gets to showcase what an amazing dancer he really is. He is the main dancer of EXO-M and he is the counterpart to Kai's role in EXO-K. Kai and Lay are both main dancers, lead vocalists and sub-rappers in their EXO units, so it's no surprise that Lay is an amazing dancer. That is why most of the time when you see solo dance breaks in EXO concerts you will see Lay and Kai dancing together because they are 2 of the top dancers in the industry and they were meant to fill similar roles in their respective sub-units in EXO. If you like his dancing, you have to check out Lay's dance practice video for "Honey."

I love Lit! Dark and powerful! Lay splurged over 1.4 million usd and spent 6 months making this mv, hundreds of people involved in this epic production. Lit has similar pronunciation as lotus flower in Chinese, and it describes a Chinese religious belief of the duality of life and death. In lit mv, general Xiang Yu (the one in Peking opera costume. He’s a very famous war hero who fought until death) is the past life and Lay in modern clothes is the present life. Dragon represents general’s spirit and soul, and the lotus flower and witch with the dragon eye tattoo help pass along the spirit. Another meaning of Lotus flower is the symbol of growth and purity because it grows and blossoms out of mud. Some people also use it to describe someone who is pure and innocent in appearance but maybe opposite inside. Lay’s antis used to call him white lotus because they don’t believe such a huge star could be so honest, humble, hard working and respectful to others. They also mock at his dream of bringing Chinese music to the world, saying that all of his hard work and effort will go in vain. This song is Lay’s response to bullies. “No one beat me down, I walk my own path, I’m the lit”.

The pronunciation of "Lit" is similar to "lotus" in Chinese, which is what haters used to call Lay. So he took it and used it with double meaning as a clapback to haters calling himself "lit" and "king". You can see the lotus flower in the mv too.

Thank you for ur reaction! Our honey Lay has just performed a live stage of Flying Apsaras yesterday. So you dont have to wait anymore and you can check it out on SMG Shanghai TV channel. It’s ans INSANE stage! You really have to watch it. I love the two songs he performed. Do not mention Flying Apsara which is stunningly beautiful but the stage of ‘Ascetic Monk’ is also so Dope! It’s a reversed version of Lit. So i think you might wanna check them out. Lay has always gone beyond himself. And he knows we absolutely appreciate his works and dedication!

Lay s current favorite dance type is Krump. Lay runs a company that trains future idols. Lay is his own producers specialized in making beats. Lay is taking class offered from Harvard business school. Lay is into history and economics other than dancing and making beats.

Lay is not only a talented artist (singer, song writer, producer, dancer), he als works very hard! He tries to put show Chinese culture in his music and all his works. Both Lit und Flying Apsaras contains a lot of contents of Chinese history and culture. If poeple know the background of them, people can enjoy even much more than only the visual enjoyment.

Thx for this marathon and I’d like to watch another lay marathon The dance practice is ART I can’t stop watching it it’s soo mesmerizing , it’s my favorite dance practice EVER ngl I LOVE honey but his latest songs have mysterious vibe which I like the most He’s GREAT example for an ARTIST. Fans who bought 4 of lay’s albums (Lose control, Sheep, Namanana & LIT) on the same platform with the same ID will receive lay’s EP for free , I can’t imagine anyone doing this and his love and loyalty to his fans..😫I respect him a LOT❤️

Lay is very strict with BALANCE. From instrument, dance and everything. He wants everything to be balance. He is so huge in China by the way that there are lots of other companies who offer him huge amount compare to SM but he didn't accept it because leaving SM also mean Leaving EXO. He is a loyal man❤️ He also work hard than anyone else. He literally don't rest. He wants to improve everyday. And I'm here just here appreciating everything he do.

Political tensions between Korea and China keep him from being allowed to promote or participate with EXO. He is still a member and he lets people know it every chance he gets. In china, he is a Children's Ambassador for the musical arts for the country of China and therefore in political limelight, so it would be a conflict of interest to participate with a country China is currently at odds with. Ashley M is so right when she said this...... "Lit is such a deep song if you look into it. Lay is known to associate Chinese words to English words. ‘Lian’ is word for lotus which is close sounding to ‘lit’ so that’s why he titled it. Many haters call him the white lotus due to it being so white. They call him this because they say he has a false personality and he rides his friends and coworkers coattails to fame. In this mv he pretty much accepted the titles but put his own twist on it. White lotus grow in the most dirtiest and muddiest places so he said even with the dirty talks and bad experiences he went through he’s still true and pure to himself. He just reminded China and it’s haters “hey I’m the boss deal with it”. That is absolutely true.

Lay hasn't participated in exo's comebacks due to some problems between South Korea and China, there's been some tension between these two countries and if he promotes with exo it might hurt his solo career, because he is one of the biggest stars in China right now. So it's mostly about politics but I think it's getting better these days, seeing that he was a part of "Don't fight the feeling", even tho he filmed it in China.
