SM is not appreciating Lay enough. Please repost.
I more people to see this. Please repost. People need to see what Lay, Zhang Yixing, has done.
I was just watching EXO Monster music video, the Chinese version. A lot of people were saying Lay wasnât getting enough lines in M versions and how itâs a Chinese song where the Chinese get two lines. Then you get comments like:
âWell everyone needs to remember that everyone has their designated roles in the group. Lay has improved greatly in terms of singing, and he is indeed better than he used to be, but he came to SM as a dancer. Just because heâs Chinese does not mean he has the right to all the lines.ï»żâ
âMaybe Layâs voice didnât suit some lines within the song in comparison to the other members.ï»żâ
âThe problem is that he canât sing as well as baek and kyungie.â
ââŠbecause LAY has too much personal activitiesâŠâ
I donât even want to continue.
People keep saying âWhy do Chinese members keep leavingâ and how Chinese people always âleave for moneyâ. Look, Lay is here staying in the group and not going for the money and supporting his brothers, he is keeping to his words âwe are oneâ. Yes, itâs true that Lay has his own personal studio in China and is doing variety shows and dramas in China but he still has to give SM a big part of his income. Donât know whether itâs 100% accurate but according to a website in China, half of Yixingâs person studio staff was employed by SM and Yixing has to give 70% of his income to SM. Well, 30% of is income is actually a lot considering how well heâs doing in China but bare in mind Yixing is the one doing all the work and he has to give SM 70% of it.Â
Lay has make his way into the Chinese market and had gotten so popular recently starring in variety shows like Go Fighting and honestly, he can do so much better and so much more if he left the group and focus on his career in China but is he leaving? No. Heâs not leaving. The reason why Chinese members keep leaving is because of this. This is a song in Mandarin and a Chinese members get two lines. TWO FUCKING LINES. Kris and Tao used to get one lines or two lines in songs and maybe not even have a proper line in K versions. If you search Kris voice on YouTube, someone made a compilation of his solo lines from MAMA to Overdose (M and K version included) you would find that he only had 8.33 minutes overall. And for Tao, he only got 4 minutes. There is a reason why members want to seek for more opportunities and want be able to do more. There are members like Sehun where all his lines were E-X-O (well he did have more lines in Love Me Right and recent songs).
How do you expect them to still stay when people like Kris who trained for 7 years, not knowing whether heâs going to debut and when he does, he get two lines in a song(except raps) and would always be placed at the back while performing live. He was originally supposed to debut after training for 3 years but the date got pushed back and SM told him, âJust wait another year.â Another year became two years, three years, four years. He had became the foreign trainee who has trained for the longest time in SM. How do you expect him to still stay? I donât even want to go into how Krisâs body conditions were and how he has serious problems with his body. See how well Kris doing in China and even starred in Hollywood films, would he be doing that if he stayed?Â
Back to Lay. I hate it when people say stuff like âLay only focus on his career in China and doesnât even do EXO stuff anymore.â Excuse me, how dare you say that. Yes, Yixing did spend a lot of time in China filming and doing variety shows but heâs trying so hard to keep up with both EXO and himself. Let me tell you Layâs schedule and after this you wouldnât dare say he doesnât try.Â
This is his schedule for the past two months.Â
19th-<To Be A Better Man> Conference
6th-<Old Nine Gates> Conference
6th-Premiere of <To Be A Better Man>
8th-EXO comeback showcase
This was his schedule for the past two months. How dare you say that Yixing is not doing enough EXO stuff. Why do you think he keeps flying back to Korea? He could have stayed in China since he has so many conference to go to. Itâs because EXO comeback has a lot of planning and practicing to do. If he has âgiven in to moneyâ like some people like to say, why do you think Yixing has gave up his time for resting and flying back and forth China and Korea. If he has really âgiven in to moneyâ why shouldnât he just leave? Why does he keeps mentioning EXO in China? At the end of interviews he would always tell people to not only support him but also EXO. He doesnât need to do any of that. He really donât. He couldâve just left and continue what heâs doing in China. But he keeps his promises. He promised to stay with the members, he promised to not leave, he promised to prove that Chinese people are trustworthy.Â
You canât judge Yixing if you havenât tied sandbags to your body to practice dancing for almost two years just because you think your dancing wasnât going anywhere, it was to a point where he canât even stand up because of the damages he has done to his waist. You canât judge Yixing if you havenât seen the amount of time he puts into making a âbetter Zhang Yixingâ. You canât judge Yixing if you havenât had a cramping leg but still managed to finished a short interview and the whole Love Me Right choreography and immediately collapsed to the ground after the performance. These are all happening when people call him names like âattention seeking bitchâ. He is still standing. He doesnât deserve all this. He doesnât even to work half as hard but chose to because he wants to prove to all those people who judged him, who attacks him, who call him names.Â
If youâre judging him or has judged him, think about whether youâll be able to go through all this and still put on a smile for everyone.
Zhang Yixing is so hardworking and is such an amazing human being. SM need to change, and SM need to appreciate the effort Yixing is putting into EXO.Â
Weâve already lost three members, we couldnât afford to lose more.
