EXO on Mother's Day!
Our EXO, who has been preparing for the new album by practising hard everyday, has not forgotten Parents' Day, and has expressed their love for their parents.
The sight of them writing letters for their parents amidst their busy schedule was too beautiful. EXO's parents, you have felt their filial piety, right?
Even though EXO is feeling shy over preparing carnations and handwritten letters, they said that they want to use this chance to tell this to their parents~
"Dad and mum, thank you!!! We love you!!!"

Tao's Most Recent Blog Entry
It is because Tao is like this that sometimes I can't help but feel shameful as a fan, especially when I have to be a stalker and post EVERYTHING on this blog.
Anyhow, below is the translation of Tao's most recent (and longest) blog entry ever.
[To My Best Friends]
5 years have passed. The change is huge, isn’t it? Actually, I have never forgotten about you guys.
I still can’t change the habit of coming online to blog and change my display pictures, even though I have already taken up this profession. I don’t want to change my original self, even though I hesitated on writing this entry and changing to this display picture for a long time.
Forget it, this is my everyday life habit. You guys understand.
Watching all of you slowly growing up, I’m really happy. I want to go to work with you guys everyday, eat with you guys and shop with you guys. But it seems like I still can’t do these things now. I’m so envious of all of you. I am always saying this, “as long as I can meet you guys.”
Nowadays, no matter what I do, there are so many people watching and commenting. Good or bad, so on and so forth. Actually, I wasn’t used to it at first, but now I’ve grown accustomed to it.
In a short span of 3 days, I’ve spent the fastest 3 days with all of you. Of course, to me. Hehe.
I felt like a normal person, without any worries. Really happy, really contented. Because you guys are by my side. Dad and mum also told me that after I left, the house turned cold and lonely again. It seems so.
This part is dedicated to Chen, (Not our Dancing Machine)
Chen Chen, six years of friendship, having separated for 2 years… it feels uncomfortable, right? Your world, that world you can’t hear or speak in. I like how you communicate using the text on phone, I like communicating with you through hand gestures. When I’m with you, I can laugh without saying anything. Really, thank you. I seriously didn’t dare to think about it, during these 3 days I could only eat with you, bring you to shop and meet my family. Accompanying me by my side, in the car, at the hotel, at the beach, at the cafe, you used my phone to take down everything. I swear as long as I live for another day, I will never lose any of these photos.
What I promised you, I will keep my end of the deal. Believe me. Wherever you want to go, I will bring you there. Whatever you want to eat, we will go there to eat it. In the future, we can play until whenever you want.
The moment the plane took off, while listening to music and looking at the photos we took, I still couldn’t help but to let my tears fall again. Even though I’ve promised many people not to cry anymore, I feel that only after I let my tears fall, I can then leave for another country to work hard with a peace of mind.
I’m here now, I’m ready to start sprinting towards my new goal. You guys too, right?
Let’s work hard together.
Maybe there are a lot of people who don’t understand why do I still casually use QQ and upload my own photos etc when I’m working in this profession…
Because. This is what I like, and what I want to do. I will do it, no matter what profession. In private, I am someone like this, a boy who is going to turn 20 very soon. There will be a lot of people that don’t like it, there will be a lot of people who like it. No matter what, I thank all of you~ Making me grow up and giving me confidence along the way.
Even if I lose everything, I still have my family and the 6 of you, my true friends. Also, the 11 brothers by my side who are fighting this war with me and living with me. And those people who are in love with a group called EXO. All these, are they not enough? I’m so contented~~
Anyway, as long our friendship doesn’t change. Or change for the better~ See you next time~

| Kris' Renren Update
[TRANS]
"When disaster strikes, help comes from all quarters; We got through the Wenchuan earthquake, I believe that we can get through the Ya An earthquake all the same, let us pray for those we have loss, and cheer on those who survived, let us shout: Go Sichuan, Go Ya An! Not because of anything else, just because I am Chinese!" well said reposting for consolation and encouragement

| Lay's Weibo Update |
[TRANS]
"I would like to convey my respect to all the rescue workers at the front line, to all the money and goods donators Thank you all Because of your loving hearts our motherland has become a warmer place Thank you all Sichuan brothers and sisters Fighting I will continue to pray for you all."
Earthquake in Ya An
As we all know, a tremendous earthquake (think "Sichuan earthquake") occurred on Luhan's birthday (20th April) in Ya'An, China.
Due to this, some ignorant EXO fans joked about the Ya'An earthquake happening because of Luhan's birthday. The comments were visible to the public which resulted in people bashing Luhan and his fans. However, it is safe to say that Luhan is not affected by this issue as informed by Luhan's friend.
[TRANS:]
"老高cobby: Reply @守护兴鹿 Yes, thank you for your concern towards Luhan. He isn't deeply affected, just very worried about the victims in Ya'An, praying for them, wishing."
----
EXO fans halted celebrating Luhan's birthday and went into rescue mode instead and collected donations for the unfortunate victims of the Ya'An earthquake.
13 Luhan fansites united to donate food and money!
This touching act made it into the newspapers that will be printed and sold all throughout China!

Editor of the newspaper says that this week's entertainment section (of the newspaper) will be focusing on Luhan's fans' contribution to the society and the rescue aid. He even added that Luhan's fans were very kind!
(but that's because Luhan is kind, right? Though birthday celebrations were halted, isn't this a great birthday present for our kind Luhan??! ^^ )

Tao's Weibo Update About Luhan's Birthday!
Tao updated his Weibo account in conjunction with Luhan's 24th birthday and posted
"Lululu~ Happy Birthday. You're older by a year again >< Haha old deer."
Luhan's 24th Birthday Party Fan Account!
So unlike the other EXO birthday parties, Luhan's birthday party was held on the 18th of April, which was 2 days prior to his birthday on 20th April 2013!
Here are some interesting things that happened at the birthday party!
Here are some interesting things that happened at the birthday party!
- Luhan practices rap a lot in the dorms.
- Members played with the spray and one of them accidentally directed it at Luhan's eyes. Luhan started blinking a lot, which was rather cute, and even asked for tissue. When he shut his eyes to wipe them, he looked really beautiful.
- Luhan was asked which part of himself he was most satisfied with and he answered saying his eyes!
- Luhan and Lay sang "Kiss Goodbye" (a Chinese song) together.
- Luhan was asked if he took after his dad or his mum, he answered "Both". He said his eyes, nose and mouth resembled his mum's so Baekhyun said "Your mum must be really pretty!". Luhan claimed that his face structure resembled his father. Baekhyun then said that Luhan's parents must be really good looking and Luhan answered "No!".
- The "Happy Birthday" banner fell and Baekhyun (MC of the day), Luhan, Lay and Chanyeol were being punished so Xiumin helped stick it back up but he wasn't tall enough. In the end, Chanyeol and Luhan rushed over and Chanyeol put it back up while Luhan patted Xiumin's head.
- Only 85 out of 100 people turned up for the party.
- Lay really liked the sound of the "poop hammer" so fans asked for it. Baekhyun replied "No way!" because Lay likes it. But the "poop hammer" was a sponsored item so Lay wasn't supposed to take it too.
- When Lay was going to do the sexy body wave, Baekhyun removed Lay's jacket wanting him to reveal a little "more". The crowd screamed. When Chanyeol was going to do the wave, Xiumin tugged at Chanyeol's clothes but he was blocked.
- Luhan was asked of what CF he wanted to film, he said "Foot..." and Baekhyun answered "Football!". He said the CF would start from the tying of his shoelaces so Luhan ran to the window and said he could tie and untie his shoelaces really fast, but it wasn't really that fast. Halfway through, Lay kept going off-topic so Baekhyun reminded him to stay focused.
- Luhan tells that his flawless skin is natural as long as he bathes well. Baekhyun and Chanyeol said "But I bathe once a day too~" to which Luhan replied "You can't eat biscuits~". Chanyeol then said "Ah~ I'm really sorry~".
- When Luhan was signing on the balloon, Baekhyun was at the side saying "Ah~ So envious~ So jealous~ I want one too~"
- Luhan and Baekhyun did Gwiyomi (Cutie player)!
- Luhan had a happy, jaw-dropping day.
- Lay's shirt's cutting was too low. He kept hitting Luhan with a soft toy blankly and cutely.
- Luhan prayed for a pretty long time before the party started.
- Baekhyun looked exceptionally tall today.
- Lay said Luhan is a really good brother and friend, and although he's a bit stubborn and brings him pain at times, he's still a good friend.
- Luhan didn't know how to do Gwiyomi, he did the "6+6" part differently.
- Baekhyun and Chanyeol sang "She's There"; Baekhyun sung and Chanyeol rapped.
- When Chanyeol was told to do the sexy dance, he looked like he was going to break down...The way he avoided...In the end he was forced and so helpless, he yelled and the entire crowd laughed so hard!
- The gift for the lucky fans today is a balloon with a recording in it, the recording is a morning greeting, something like "Good Morning~"
- Baekhyun complimented Luhan, Lay and Xiumin, so when it was Chanyeol's turn, Chanyeol closed his ears and said "Ah, that's okay, you don't have to say it~"
- They threw a dice to see who got the highest number but when they were done, Lay tapped Baekhyun to ask "What number did I throw just now?" (O_O)
130417, Tao's Update!
The display photo of Tao's profile shows 2 iPhones, one belonging to Tao and one belonging to Luhan as mentioned in his status.
Tao's profile info translates to
"One day, I promised many many many many people: As long as they want it, as long as I have it. Nothing in this world is impossible to us, this promise. I still remember, I will keep and make this promise true. Because I have always loved them."

Oh my Sehun!

1st Anniversary Weibo Updates!
[TRANS] Lay's Weibo Update, 130408
"In this one year, you have given us countless honour, countless surprises, countless happiness. Because there is you, there is the us today, you are our heroes. Thank you."

[TRANS] Lay's mom's Weibo Update, 130408
"On today, a very commemorative day, thank you for so many individual's love, trust and patience!"
She also forwarded a friend's post, translating to
[TRANS] "So it has actually been one year! Carrying your dreams on your shoulders at a young age, working hard step by step in another country~~ Don't let troubles obstruct your belief in dreams, destiny was always a kind of perseverance, the sun will always appear in the sky, the ground too will always be muddy and treacherous, don't beg yourself to be the best in everything, be brave in facing regrets and disappointment, after all the hard times you will suddenly find a happy you. I believe you can be the most eye-catching star of all~~"
It's also possible that "star" (星星, xingxing) is a play on Lay's name (艺兴, yixing) which possesses the same pronunciation.

"Let Me Be The One Giving You Courage"
"2012 7th Jan.
To many, it is just a normal day.
But it is the most precious moment in my entire life.
Ever since I first saw you, the love I have for you only increases each day.
Now that I’m thinking about it, it seemed that, even the cold wind brings warm smiles, in that winter.
Sorry, but I wasn’t that deep in love yet.
I started off by liking Luhan only, with only him in my eyes.
Forgive me, it was difficult to differentiate you guys.
I was only anticipating the debut because I admire your music.
Three months, I waited quietly for three months.
Finally, debut.
MAMA was so astonishing.
I swear, before meeting you all, I was the strongest girl in the world.
But whenever I heard that you guys were injured, I realised I wasn’t that strong afterall.
I have already forgotten how many times I’ve cried for you.
Just a small heartwarming thing would make me cry for a long time.
Maybe it is impossible to let you all know
how much I love the way you put your heart into your singing,
how much I love the determined look on your faces while dancing
how much my heart pained when seeing you all hurt, saddened and all alone.
I used to think that giving must have meaningful returns.
But now, not knowing me is okay as well. Just let me stay by yourside. It is enough.
“We are One!”
When you all say this slogan in unison,
it seems like you all are pleading, “We are one, don’t separate us, okay?”
“To me, instead of competitors, I would like Shinhwa to be my role model, I want EXO to be a long lasting group doing activities together, because a lot of stories will happen between us.” – Sehun
So you guys do know about SM’s practice of getting in new blood.
So you guys do worry about enlistment.
So you guys do fear that someone may leave the group halfway.
But no one can predict the future.
Maybe someone will enter, someone will leave.
SM, since you gave them this slogan, let them achieve it, okay?
We have witnessed it, no? Their brotherhood.
“When I first arrived in Korea, my Korean isn’t very good, I couldn’t get used to Korean food. Leader taught me how to speak, how to eat. To me, duizhang’s existence is that of a father’s.”
“The previous time I appeared on the show, I didn’t tear because of my grandma, or that I missed my family, but because the twelve of us were together.”
“Duizhang taught me a lot.. To know such a good brother, I think that I’m really blessed. And the other four standing behind me now, are all people I can’t live without in my life.”-TAO
“The practice room feels empty, it used to be very noisy when we were practising together.. I miss them a lot.” -SUHO
“Lay always practice dance till midnight, so everytime I dance I think of Lay hyung.”-KAI
“The first time we met, I thought he was quiet, after getting closer he was a cheery kid. A cute brother, I have the urge to take care of him.”
“Tell me if you have any problems, hyung will take care of it for you.” -LUHAN
“He likes me the most, just give me to him.”-CHANYEOL
Everytime you guys separate, you guys miss each other a lot right? It was tough missing each other right? Like what I said, “Missing is incorporated into breathing.” Right?
One person told me. Lay injured his knees before. I suddenly thought of Phoenix, the teaser. The ending move was to jump high up and land on the knee.
Dear Yixing, how painful it must have been?
I’m not talking about about your knee.
Im saying, your heart, how painful it must have been?
To walk till this day isn’t easy.
You guys suffered a lot more hardships that us fans don’t know of.
How many times we couldn’t help you take the blame,
how many times we couldn’t share the burden with you.
“I miss my grandma.”
“I like the dishes that my grandma cook.”
“For this dream, I’ve given up on many things, I think this is the only thing that really, really, worth to be happy about. The most blissful thing.” -Tao
The days you could spend with your grandma aren’t a lot to begin with, she will leave you one day.
I don’t even dare to imagine, the you who loves to cry a lot, how will you react that moment she leaves you.
You have chosen to give up the precious moments, you have chosen your dreams, chosen to live everyday missing someone.
If that moment comes.
I’m saying if, that moment eventually arrives,
will you ever, regret the decision you have made?
So, Huang Zi Tao’s grandma,
you will wait for him right?
Till he grows up, matures, and has the ability to take care of you,
till he returns to you as an achiever, to your side,
wait for him to cook for you as well.
Dear, you have realised your dreams.
Are you happy?
Originally, you guys have become bright stars.
But facing all the endless hates, antis, and judgement from the rest of the world,
I’m only worried that you all are sad.
But dearests, your performance makes people teary.
“Living on looks”, “Underhand means”, “Plastics”, “No talent”?? When these uncomfortable words were used on you.
Luhan, you actually sincerely said
“Thank you all for giving us so much support, so much drive, thank you I love you!”
“Take care, eat more.”
“Those with dreams, don’t give up. Just persevere and you will succeed.”
Words that cannot be any simpler, ended up etched in my heart.
In LA, you and Xiumin helped cordi noona carried her bags.
At the showcase, you helped the crew carry chairs, and ended up being the last one on stage.
Luhan, you are so nice.
So nice that I can’t look into your eyes, because if I do so, I will even forget who I am.
Many people think that, being casted while shopping is such a lucky thing.
But casted doesn’t mean promise.
It’s only casted.
How much determination do you need to sacrifice everything, and leave to Korea alone, chasing your dreams.
Betting on your faith, gambling with your everything.
You waited for so long, till you forget the meaning of the wait.
So far away in a foreign land, just how much you must have missed the moonlight in your hometown.
Showcase, the family members of your teammates went to support them.
You are alone in the midst of the crowd searching.
No, no, still no….
No matter how much you tried to search for them.
You looked down on the floor, not letting anyone see the disappointment in your eyes.
You still couldn’t understand, why?
Such an important stage, how could they not come.
Even not long ago, when you returned to Beijing, buying shoes, shopping and all, it was only you alone.
Did you hide the truth from us?
But you said it before:
“The toughest time is missing home.”
“When I miss home.. I can only miss it.”
At that moment, I really wanted to ask, “Treat us as one of your family members, okay?”
I remember you were coughing during one period.
But you idiot, still apologising whenever you cough while filming.
Your throat was hurting, but you still shouted to your fans, “Be careful of your safety!”
Someone said, “Everytime I see Luhan, he is smiling.”
Yeah, smiling so adorably, as if you don’t know what is pain.
Luhan, have I said this before?
I need to see your smile to let my heart continue beating.
Luhan, I love you, more absolute than anything.
I haven’t loved enough.
Even if the seas dry up, Luhan, I will still say, Sorry, I haven’t loved you enough.
Luhan, I can give everything up. Everything except you.
When people criticise that you are arrogant, bitchface.
Wufan, you still blinked and smiled to the camera “Must miss me okay, be obedient!”
You left a message, saying “I like you, every single one of you”
Even when you were being scratched by fans in the airport, you still smile and say “Nevermind.”
Maybe you guys have seen a video on Kris.
“Yeah, the most you do is to raise your right hand.”
“You wanted to blend in, but the next second you gave up.”
These words, I never wanted to read them twice.
April, on the way back in the airport, you shielded Tao behind your back, you knew he had waist injuries, you told everyone “Don’t squeeze.” Tao was just holding on to your back, looking so secured.
When asked to perform Wushu, fans shouted “He’s got waist injuries!” Huang Zi Tao, you tried hard to explain, “No, I’ve recovered already. I can perform. Really. Really, it’s no longer painful.”
But backstage, no matter how you tried hiding, someone still spotted duizhang applying medicine for you.
You said, “Pain.” You said, “Duizhang, apply it with lesser force.”
Someone who has trained wushu since young saying its pain, someone who has grown up falling and tumbling saying that it’s pain.
You said pain.
Huang Zitao, you lied to us.
Shindong asked EXO-M who their role models are. Xiumin replied EXO-K, our other half. EXO-K.
In the China programme, the host asked if Xiumin likes China.
You happily replied in Chinese, I like China!
Xiumin, is Chinese food nice?
You replied Haochi!
At the last part of Into Your world, when everyone takes a step forward, you remain standing at the back.
Yeah, with a total of only 6 lines in the whole album, you could only scream, even though it’s hurting your throat.
Being in a foreign country, it was rare to see fans with your hand banners, it was rare to hear people shouting your name.
But in Sunshine Day, you had an expression full of satisfaction, telling us, Everyone is my lover!
Kim Minseok, just how many sides of you have I not seen?
“Kai’s body isn’t very good, not just the waist injury.”
“Kai might need to go for an operation.”
Kim Jong In, how old are you, to have an injury that requires you to go for op.
With medicinal patches on your back, you continued performing on stage. I was saying, why didn’t you lift up your shirt that day, it was actually to not let us see your injuries.
At first he didn’t quite liked the “Sexy” image the company gave him. But he said, “It is okay if it is for the fans.”
Kim Jongin, stop doing it for us. Think about yourself, okay?
We don’t need to see you baring your shoulders, just seeing your shy smiles make us happy.
Those unbearable pain, how did you tolerate them? Being the same age as you, I really couldn’t imagine.
Are these reasons, enough for me to admire him?
On the plane, Luhan mischieviously said, “What if im gonna vomit?” And then you went around searching for a vomiting bag for him. And when he blows the bag into your face, you could only look at him helplessly.
Your mum came to see you, you went shopping with her. You were protecting your mother so naturally.
But what about yourself?
Who is going to protect you? Who is going to take care of you?
Maybe not much people understand, what it is like to not have father’s love.
But I do.
It is scary when you are alone; because there are no steady shoulders from your dad to lean on.
You don’t dare to make a single mistake, because that would only let your mother bear the consequences for you on her weak shoulders.
You are sentimental, keep thinking about the past; because of your sensitivity you are weak.
Pretending to be strong; because you are afraid that others find out that you are different from them.
Very obedient; because you know how tough it is for your mother to be alone.
Maturing faster than those your age; because “I want to protect my mother.”
31st August, the Chinese members went back to spend time with their families.
Though you say “Having my mother is already very blissful.” But we don’t know how much you thirst for a father to give you strength.
You keep wanting to improve, to better yourself.
But actually, Wufan, you are already an achiever.
Three languages plus Cantonese, not everyone can do that by the age of 22.
Kris can you stop torturing yourself?
Let yourself off, won’t you?
It is okay to have ear holes, bitchface and even tattoo. Really, as long as you are happy.
As long as it is you, just you.
Then we will never leave.
When people said you don’t know how to manage your expression, disobedient.
Oh Sehun, you just reply “I need to repay my fans”
They didn’t see how obedient you were while helping your hyungs pack their clothes.
They didn’t know how long you have to practice a bbuing bbuing in fron tof the mirror.
They didn’t know how nervous you were when you were practising the collab stage with SHINee.
They didn’t know how just a wrong dance move will make you hang your head low, and you only lift up your head after hyungs cheering you up for a long time.
They didn’t know the first reaction from you after opening a packet of snack is to give to the hyungs.
It is okay, Oh Sehun, you are the world’s most understanding maknae. It is enough that we know.
People say that you are scheming, saying that you are selling your aegyos.
Park Chanyeol, instead you say “I have to present a more perfect performance to my fans!”
When you just finished Lasik operation on your eyes, you went personally to fix the lights. If this was scheming.
Keep taking care of Bacon, waiting for this guy who is afraid of the heat to fall asleep first before sleeping on the sofa yourself. If this was scheming.
Seeing a tidbit with your face on the packaging and immediately brighten up. If this was scheming.
Retorting the manager’s instructions saying that he couldn’t help laughing. If this was scheming.
Then everyone in this world is already a strategist.
Actually, I’m kinda happy that you all meet such antis, with only verbal attacks.
If you guys were to meet the extreme antis, will you all be guarded against us?
Or still telling us to take care?
Still believing that we will support you?
But, dear, what have we done, to receive so much warmth from you all?
It is already midnight, but D.O still came out of the building to tell the fans, “Go home and sleep early, girls need sleep.”
What a mom.
Hates to see stuff strewn over, but seeing how the members are tired, you quietly kept everything away by yourself.
If anyone is sick, you immediately reach out for the medicine, when Kai wasn’t feeling well and was running a fever you guarded him by his side, sacrificing your sleep.
Even when maknae is feeling hungry late in the night you don’t complain but ask “What do you want to eat?”
As if treating people well, being like a mum, is the most natural thing to do.
Just how much love you guys have given us.
Some words I’m willing to repeat, write, feel and sing.
Slowly, they become normal.
But no matter how normal they become, they are still the most precious words.
Like, EXO I love you.
I am someone who can’t get over things.
So don’t give me too much memories.
I’m afraid that one day, on a long ride on the bus alone, no matter what I see, I’ll be reminded of you.
And then maybe cry, or laugh.
Issit that by looking far away, the tears in my eyes won’t fall?
Apparently not, no?
“It’s okay, I can continue.”
“Because I am Light, so it’s okay.”
“Sorry, I hindered the filming again.”
“It’s not pain, really.”
…
Let’s have a promise, stop lying to us.
I want you all to be safe and happy.
No need to be strong because of us. No need to lie.
I’m particularly upset about this statement.
“That EXO, that lousy leader, I heard he trained for 7 years to debut. No talent and still not putting in effort, he deserved that 7 years. Rich but can’t even buy a debut. Pathetic.”
I replied, “Do you know the meaning of Suho(protect)?”
Seven years, how many seven years can one have in his lifetime?
14 years old. At the second seventh year in his life, he entered the company.
With his dream. Alone.
He had an injured knee. At that time, no one was beside him.
When it hurts, he could only apply the medicine on his own.
With no one caring about him.
He was alone.
At the age of fourteen, only him.
After that, he reaches the third seventh year in his life.
He wasn’t not talented, he was waiting.
Waiting for the other eleven brothers that he needs to protect.
“Hi, I am Suho (protect/guardian), your suho.
Kim Junmyeon. Winter is coming, please remember to wear your kneeguard and place your blankets.
Stop wearing insoles, it’s not good for your knees.
Kim Junmyeon, at the next seventh year, the next next one, we won’t let you to be alone anymore.
We won’t be absent in all the future seventh years.
Kim Junmyeon, the next seven years, it is our turn. To protect you.
“Basically I didn’t think that it was tough. Because it is a dream that I have held on since young, so even though it may be tiring, but it is still interesting. Because it is what I really want to do. Between the members, we are so close that even if anything happens, we will accept it happily.” -BAEKHYUN
Before SM casted you, not a single company accepted you.
How disappointed you must have been?
Was it then that made you want to grow taller now?
Baekhyun, do you know how much we love you?
Not because of any other things, but because you are called Byun Baekhyun.
So stop applying eyeliners.
I will always, always, always love you all.
If you were to ask, “Love me the next lifetime too, okay?”
Dear, can I reply, “You’ve asked me that the previous lifetime already.”
If there is really a next lifetime, stop being my star.
It is okay if you are not exceptional, not shining, not an achiever,
just a normal guy who isn’t strong, and needs protection.
And I will be able to get closer to you.
In the next lifetime, I’ll still be loving you.
But instead, let me be the one giving you courage."

A post written by a Chinese fan.
So many wonderful talented fans we have in our fandom, don't we?
#EXO1stAnniversary
To many, it is just a normal day.
But it is the most precious moment in my entire life.
Ever since I first saw you, the love I have for you only increases each day.
Now that I’m thinking about it, it seemed that, even the cold wind brings warm smiles, in that winter.
Sorry, but I wasn’t that deep in love yet.
I started off by liking Luhan only, with only him in my eyes.
Forgive me, it was difficult to differentiate you guys.
I was only anticipating the debut because I admire your music.
Three months, I waited quietly for three months.
Finally, debut.
MAMA was so astonishing.
I swear, before meeting you all, I was the strongest girl in the world.
But whenever I heard that you guys were injured, I realised I wasn’t that strong afterall.
I have already forgotten how many times I’ve cried for you.
Just a small heartwarming thing would make me cry for a long time.
Maybe it is impossible to let you all know
how much I love the way you put your heart into your singing,
how much I love the determined look on your faces while dancing
how much my heart pained when seeing you all hurt, saddened and all alone.
I used to think that giving must have meaningful returns.
But now, not knowing me is okay as well. Just let me stay by yourside. It is enough.
“We are One!”
When you all say this slogan in unison,
it seems like you all are pleading, “We are one, don’t separate us, okay?”
“To me, instead of competitors, I would like Shinhwa to be my role model, I want EXO to be a long lasting group doing activities together, because a lot of stories will happen between us.” – Sehun
So you guys do know about SM’s practice of getting in new blood.
So you guys do worry about enlistment.
So you guys do fear that someone may leave the group halfway.
But no one can predict the future.
Maybe someone will enter, someone will leave.
SM, since you gave them this slogan, let them achieve it, okay?
We have witnessed it, no? Their brotherhood.
“When I first arrived in Korea, my Korean isn’t very good, I couldn’t get used to Korean food. Leader taught me how to speak, how to eat. To me, duizhang’s existence is that of a father’s.”
“The previous time I appeared on the show, I didn’t tear because of my grandma, or that I missed my family, but because the twelve of us were together.”
“Duizhang taught me a lot.. To know such a good brother, I think that I’m really blessed. And the other four standing behind me now, are all people I can’t live without in my life.”-TAO
“The practice room feels empty, it used to be very noisy when we were practising together.. I miss them a lot.” -SUHO
“Lay always practice dance till midnight, so everytime I dance I think of Lay hyung.”-KAI
“The first time we met, I thought he was quiet, after getting closer he was a cheery kid. A cute brother, I have the urge to take care of him.”
“Tell me if you have any problems, hyung will take care of it for you.” -LUHAN
“He likes me the most, just give me to him.”-CHANYEOL
Everytime you guys separate, you guys miss each other a lot right? It was tough missing each other right? Like what I said, “Missing is incorporated into breathing.” Right?
One person told me. Lay injured his knees before. I suddenly thought of Phoenix, the teaser. The ending move was to jump high up and land on the knee.
Dear Yixing, how painful it must have been?
I’m not talking about about your knee.
Im saying, your heart, how painful it must have been?
To walk till this day isn’t easy.
You guys suffered a lot more hardships that us fans don’t know of.
How many times we couldn’t help you take the blame,
how many times we couldn’t share the burden with you.
“I miss my grandma.”
“I like the dishes that my grandma cook.”
“For this dream, I’ve given up on many things, I think this is the only thing that really, really, worth to be happy about. The most blissful thing.” -Tao
The days you could spend with your grandma aren’t a lot to begin with, she will leave you one day.
I don’t even dare to imagine, the you who loves to cry a lot, how will you react that moment she leaves you.
You have chosen to give up the precious moments, you have chosen your dreams, chosen to live everyday missing someone.
If that moment comes.
I’m saying if, that moment eventually arrives,
will you ever, regret the decision you have made?
So, Huang Zi Tao’s grandma,
you will wait for him right?
Till he grows up, matures, and has the ability to take care of you,
till he returns to you as an achiever, to your side,
wait for him to cook for you as well.
Dear, you have realised your dreams.
Are you happy?
Originally, you guys have become bright stars.
But facing all the endless hates, antis, and judgement from the rest of the world,
I’m only worried that you all are sad.
But dearests, your performance makes people teary.
“Living on looks”, “Underhand means”, “Plastics”, “No talent”?? When these uncomfortable words were used on you.
Luhan, you actually sincerely said
“Thank you all for giving us so much support, so much drive, thank you I love you!”
“Take care, eat more.”
“Those with dreams, don’t give up. Just persevere and you will succeed.”
Words that cannot be any simpler, ended up etched in my heart.
In LA, you and Xiumin helped cordi noona carried her bags.
At the showcase, you helped the crew carry chairs, and ended up being the last one on stage.
Luhan, you are so nice.
So nice that I can’t look into your eyes, because if I do so, I will even forget who I am.
Many people think that, being casted while shopping is such a lucky thing.
But casted doesn’t mean promise.
It’s only casted.
How much determination do you need to sacrifice everything, and leave to Korea alone, chasing your dreams.
Betting on your faith, gambling with your everything.
You waited for so long, till you forget the meaning of the wait.
So far away in a foreign land, just how much you must have missed the moonlight in your hometown.
Showcase, the family members of your teammates went to support them.
You are alone in the midst of the crowd searching.
No, no, still no….
No matter how much you tried to search for them.
You looked down on the floor, not letting anyone see the disappointment in your eyes.
You still couldn’t understand, why?
Such an important stage, how could they not come.
Even not long ago, when you returned to Beijing, buying shoes, shopping and all, it was only you alone.
Did you hide the truth from us?
But you said it before:
“The toughest time is missing home.”
“When I miss home.. I can only miss it.”
At that moment, I really wanted to ask, “Treat us as one of your family members, okay?”
I remember you were coughing during one period.
But you idiot, still apologising whenever you cough while filming.
Your throat was hurting, but you still shouted to your fans, “Be careful of your safety!”
Someone said, “Everytime I see Luhan, he is smiling.”
Yeah, smiling so adorably, as if you don’t know what is pain.
Luhan, have I said this before?
I need to see your smile to let my heart continue beating.
Luhan, I love you, more absolute than anything.
I haven’t loved enough.
Even if the seas dry up, Luhan, I will still say, Sorry, I haven’t loved you enough.
Luhan, I can give everything up. Everything except you.
When people criticise that you are arrogant, bitchface.
Wufan, you still blinked and smiled to the camera “Must miss me okay, be obedient!”
You left a message, saying “I like you, every single one of you”
Even when you were being scratched by fans in the airport, you still smile and say “Nevermind.”
Maybe you guys have seen a video on Kris.
“Yeah, the most you do is to raise your right hand.”
“You wanted to blend in, but the next second you gave up.”
These words, I never wanted to read them twice.
April, on the way back in the airport, you shielded Tao behind your back, you knew he had waist injuries, you told everyone “Don’t squeeze.” Tao was just holding on to your back, looking so secured.
When asked to perform Wushu, fans shouted “He’s got waist injuries!” Huang Zi Tao, you tried hard to explain, “No, I’ve recovered already. I can perform. Really. Really, it’s no longer painful.”
But backstage, no matter how you tried hiding, someone still spotted duizhang applying medicine for you.
You said, “Pain.” You said, “Duizhang, apply it with lesser force.”
Someone who has trained wushu since young saying its pain, someone who has grown up falling and tumbling saying that it’s pain.
You said pain.
Huang Zitao, you lied to us.
Shindong asked EXO-M who their role models are. Xiumin replied EXO-K, our other half. EXO-K.
In the China programme, the host asked if Xiumin likes China.
You happily replied in Chinese, I like China!
Xiumin, is Chinese food nice?
You replied Haochi!
At the last part of Into Your world, when everyone takes a step forward, you remain standing at the back.
Yeah, with a total of only 6 lines in the whole album, you could only scream, even though it’s hurting your throat.
Being in a foreign country, it was rare to see fans with your hand banners, it was rare to hear people shouting your name.
But in Sunshine Day, you had an expression full of satisfaction, telling us, Everyone is my lover!
Kim Minseok, just how many sides of you have I not seen?
“Kai’s body isn’t very good, not just the waist injury.”
“Kai might need to go for an operation.”
Kim Jong In, how old are you, to have an injury that requires you to go for op.
With medicinal patches on your back, you continued performing on stage. I was saying, why didn’t you lift up your shirt that day, it was actually to not let us see your injuries.
At first he didn’t quite liked the “Sexy” image the company gave him. But he said, “It is okay if it is for the fans.”
Kim Jongin, stop doing it for us. Think about yourself, okay?
We don’t need to see you baring your shoulders, just seeing your shy smiles make us happy.
Those unbearable pain, how did you tolerate them? Being the same age as you, I really couldn’t imagine.
Are these reasons, enough for me to admire him?
On the plane, Luhan mischieviously said, “What if im gonna vomit?” And then you went around searching for a vomiting bag for him. And when he blows the bag into your face, you could only look at him helplessly.
Your mum came to see you, you went shopping with her. You were protecting your mother so naturally.
But what about yourself?
Who is going to protect you? Who is going to take care of you?
Maybe not much people understand, what it is like to not have father’s love.
But I do.
It is scary when you are alone; because there are no steady shoulders from your dad to lean on.
You don’t dare to make a single mistake, because that would only let your mother bear the consequences for you on her weak shoulders.
You are sentimental, keep thinking about the past; because of your sensitivity you are weak.
Pretending to be strong; because you are afraid that others find out that you are different from them.
Very obedient; because you know how tough it is for your mother to be alone.
Maturing faster than those your age; because “I want to protect my mother.”
31st August, the Chinese members went back to spend time with their families.
Though you say “Having my mother is already very blissful.” But we don’t know how much you thirst for a father to give you strength.
You keep wanting to improve, to better yourself.
But actually, Wufan, you are already an achiever.
Three languages plus Cantonese, not everyone can do that by the age of 22.
Kris can you stop torturing yourself?
Let yourself off, won’t you?
It is okay to have ear holes, bitchface and even tattoo. Really, as long as you are happy.
As long as it is you, just you.
Then we will never leave.
When people said you don’t know how to manage your expression, disobedient.
Oh Sehun, you just reply “I need to repay my fans”
They didn’t see how obedient you were while helping your hyungs pack their clothes.
They didn’t know how long you have to practice a bbuing bbuing in fron tof the mirror.
They didn’t know how nervous you were when you were practising the collab stage with SHINee.
They didn’t know how just a wrong dance move will make you hang your head low, and you only lift up your head after hyungs cheering you up for a long time.
They didn’t know the first reaction from you after opening a packet of snack is to give to the hyungs.
It is okay, Oh Sehun, you are the world’s most understanding maknae. It is enough that we know.
People say that you are scheming, saying that you are selling your aegyos.
Park Chanyeol, instead you say “I have to present a more perfect performance to my fans!”
When you just finished Lasik operation on your eyes, you went personally to fix the lights. If this was scheming.
Keep taking care of Bacon, waiting for this guy who is afraid of the heat to fall asleep first before sleeping on the sofa yourself. If this was scheming.
Seeing a tidbit with your face on the packaging and immediately brighten up. If this was scheming.
Retorting the manager’s instructions saying that he couldn’t help laughing. If this was scheming.

But no matter how normal they become, they are still the most precious words.

I am someone who can’t get over things.
So don’t give me too much memories.

Kim Junmyeon, at the next seventh year, the next next one, we won’t let you to be alone anymore.
We won’t be absent in all the future seventh years.
