Do you think sulay don't get along, everyone keeps saying they don't like each other. Whr as I feel yixing just annoys suho coz he gets a quick reaction.

I think they get along fine, it’s just that Yixing likes to troll Joonmyun because it’s just so easy/entertaining to do so?? Tbh I’d probably do the same HAHAHA I love flustered!JM.There’s also the fact that their brains seem to work at different speed LOL and they also seem to express affection differently which might make it seem like their personalities don’t mesh but really it’s because Yixing’s more of a spontaneously touchy person while JM tends to be more about words (not saying that it isn’t the other way around sometimes) so JM doesn’t always know how to react but I think it’s more out of surprise and shyness than any real discomfort.I mean let’s not forget that JM constantly mentioned YX while the latter was away working in China by himself, or that JM was the first one to go after YX when he cried on stage?? Or how JM’s always trying to bring attention to YX, trying to make him talk or explaining stuff to him when he thinks YX didn’t understand something (or wasn’t following the conversation LMAO). I’ve also noticed that YX pays pretty close attention to JM whenever JM speaks and there are these little moments on stage where they’ll gently guide each other if one’s not at the right place or is confused.I think they get along just fine - it’s just that their personalities make it seem at first glance like they’re completely mismatched and awkward together.

is it just me or yixing really looks lonely now. i was watching the dvd subbed and i realised that baekhyun is the only one who genuinely talks to him and includes him

i haven’t watched the second box yet! (which would explain why i’m getting confused with what to tag some posts lol)

but imo he’s probably pretty tired and has a lot on his mind with all of his chinese projects so it’s possible that it’s not so much that he’s being excluded but rather that most of the members don’t want to bother him more and baekhyun is just being baekhyun lmao. honestly he probably does feel a little lonely at times from having to be away from the group so often but i don’t think the other members are actively avoiding him or anything. also… everything’s edited so for all we know it could be that most of his interactions with the rest was either cut out or when the cameras weren’t there.

maybe its easy for us to judge him but i seriously do believe in asian culture even if people dont hate you for being gay but they just dont want to talk abt it, so most lgbt people keep pretending they're straight just to stay within a group.

it’s not about whether or not he’s pretending to be straight because he wants to keep his love life private or because he’s afraid of people’s reactions - that i can understand. i wouldn’t judge someone for that. (also i’m asian myself so...)

the problem is with the things that he sometimes says to “prove” that he’s a “real” man. they’re kinda homophobic and sexist?? And maybe even transphobic too?

[childishgrin]

i have a feeling maybe yixing is bi or gay so to prove he is manly he says all these things.

tbh i’ve had that thought cross my mind a few times before too (having said that, i try not to assume his/any idol’s sexual orientation) but if that happens to really be the case… it doesn’t really make it any better.

thanks for getting me hooked to another ship, i never even realised that XiuChen was even shipped. i always shipped minsook with luhan

XiuChen has been my top exo otp the moment I started paying attention to the group and I’m so happy that they’ve been steadily gaining shippers TToTT

[childishgrin]

I need a hug. Luhan's news hit pretty hard. The whole reason I got into EXO was because I really liked EXO-M. I didn't even pay attention to K until EXO Showtime came out... And now M has lost two members, and I don't know what's going to happen? I'm scared.

Aaaaw sweetie :(

I also got into Exo because of Exo M, or more specifically Xiumin. It sucks that Luhan decided to leave but I guess that everything was too much for him to handle and in the end his well being comes first. It’s probably only a small comfort for many Luhan/Exo fans, but at least this time, if Yixing’s weibo post is anything to go by, it seems the other members were fully aware of the situation before it became public. It’s fortunate that he’s able to leave on friendly terms with the rest of the boys. I’m sure, especially if Luhan decides to stay in the entertainment business, that we’ll eventually get to see some interactions between all of them. :)

As for the future of Exo M… the three most possible options would be either

A) leave the current formation as is although Lay and Tao will have to do most of the talking in China for now until XiuChen can have more time to sit down and intensely study mandarin and be more comfortable with the language (ppl can stop complaining about them sucking in chinese because ffs they haven’t really had the time to really study for it with XOXO’s promotions being mostly in SK + they’re mostly surrounded by korean staff so it’s harder to pick up on a language that most of the ppl around you don’t speak. Let’s also take for example that the korean members of SuJu M also took several years before being fluent enough in Mandarin. I mean my maternal language is vietnamese and honestly i’m barely fluent in it!)

B) debut more (chinese) members into the group to “replace” Kris and/or Luhan but I think that would be a BAD idea because god knows what Zhou Mi and Henry had to go through despite the fact they were not even added to the core lineup of SJ, only to the M subgroup. I really don’t want anyone to go through the heartache and pain that ZhouRy went through.

C) would be to simply leave out the whole K/M thing and just promote as Exo from now on which I think would be the best solution tbh? I think they’ll need each other now more than ever after having lost 2 members and keeping them together will help them bond even tighter. I honestly doubt SM would separate LayTao from Exo at this point, unless their health prevents them from continuing.

I’m gonna stop now before I start writing a novel.

Die Jungs will be the death of me. Chen wiggling around on the chair bed thing... Chanyeol laying on a bed with bedroom eyes and hair... I will die.

MINSEOK IN BED THO

what do you think about jyj being dropped from the iag stage? i know its not exos fault, but its quite a coincidence that they are at the press con and not the ambassadors (jyj).

They were dropped? I only read last night that they were both performing - I honestly have no idea of the situation so I can’t really comment on it.

For all we know maybe JYJ couldn’t make it to the presscon because of conflicting schedules; they are trying to do as much as they can before Jaejoong and Yoochun enlist in the army later this year.
