I hope he will grow a lot after this incident (referring to the lawsuit case), I don’t want to anti him anymore. Plus, in the weibo comments of Quanshaoye (famous account that hates Tao), a lot of people who are not fans say they feel sorry for Tao. Seeing all of these, I want to talk about my own experience.
First of all, let me talk about myself. I was against K-pop, influenced by my university roommate. She spent a lot of time on Tianya and learned about some crazy deeds of some Chinese K-pop fans. In the senior year, exo debuted. A lot of people posted Exo members’ pics on Tianya. I was pissed off by this. I think exo fans are the new generation of crazy fans., but I don’t have an impression on Tao because I didn’t see his pic. It was a while later that I realized that he was anti-ed after the debut and he had the lowest popularity
After seeing the 2013 Happy Camp, I found Tao to be the only member annoying to me. Here are the reasons:
1. He dressed up too much, especially his dyed hair, his big earrings, rings and bracelets.
2. It is ridiculous that he still needs someone to accompany him in the shower
3. He was too narcissist to think that he was the most handsome member
Anyway, every time I saw the weibo about exo, I would feel uncomfortable when seeing Tao.
By the end of 2013, I started to work in my current company and I have many colleagues from Korea. I started to change my views on things related to K-pop. One day, I saw a post about Tao on Tianya. I noticed that he is actually good looking in red hair, but I was still uncomfortable about his childish actions and words.
This June, I saw a post that recommends good music videos: Tao’s debut video was in it. I was like: WTF? When I opened that video, my views on him totally changed, this is totally a manly, handsome boy. Then, I searched for his name on Baidu Baike (Chinese Wiki), I saw his high jump gifs. I was shocked again! He was like the boy I had a crush on during high school.
That night, I watched another video about him in different kinds of variety shows. I found him to be a boy who gets along well with others. He also brought a lot of laughter to other people.
When I searched his name on weibo, I found many people were describing him as a: betrayer, clingy and a loser. I wondered why and here are my findings:
Betrayer: when the first lawsuit happened, Tao stood out and spoke his mind. In my opinion, he said nothing wrong from his stand. So I want to say something to the anti fans: it is ok that you call him ugly, but please stop saying he is a betrayer under Bapiwang’s weibo (another big anti Tao account), anyone can see that you are revenging him.
I am not here to support Tao because I am a fan, I understand the decision of the people who left. I just hope fans could know what “respect” means.
Clingy: nothing to say, every member could play with whoever they want.
Loser: well, I read all of his previous QQ statuses. I was first impressed by the sentence: nothing is impossible for me in this world. This is simply just so encouraging for a teenager, he also said that he loves both martial arts and music. Meanwhile, his pre debut pics are so handsome! I realized that it is the stage image designed by the company that made me hate him. However anyone on the stage should wear some make up under big lights. Otherwise, they would be no different from ordinary people.
All in all, here are my summaries about him: good at martial arts, good at variety shows, handsome, hot body, inspirational! I started to regret that I didn’t spend time to learn about him and judging him merely by appearance. If I knew he was good at martial arts, I would’ve definitely paid attention to him.
But the heart to follow Tao was not so steady because so much shit happened to him. I never like someone who was also hated by so many people. When I saw the post about how the anti found out his previous phone number and dug things about him, then, people found out someone was looking for Tao because he used to help him, I almost cried. Why was my boy hated so much!
Since July, Tao has been insulted by many verified weibo accounts. They said that Tao’s fans are just crazy and stupid. I just hope that HL’s will stop quarrelling with them. Also, we shouldn’t worry too much about those accounts, they just made money by insulting celebrities. It is simply disgusting.
When Bapiwang first started to insult Tao, I read some of the comments under his post. We all know who asked him to do it what his intention was. The other day, another HL post the comments she read under such accounts, a lot of people started to feel sorry for Tao because he has taken so much!
All in all, please see Tao with all your heart. The first night I met him, I saw him waving to the staff who were working under stage. I saw him sat straightly to let the coordi noona put make up on him, I saw him waving to all the fans, not just HL. I saw him blush when failing to say: Thank you very much. I saw him fooling around with the member and then talking to us with sincerity. He sang the song by Beyond and told us he was not afraid to be himself.
Ever since debut, he was looked down upon. But he proved that he would go higher and further again and again. I will definitely support him as long as he is a good boy who stay away from bad things like drugs.
I hope you will be better in the future and I am sure you won’t disappoint me~
