How does each member think of other members? (LAY) (Internet News Article Translation)

This is a translation of LAY's part followed by the previous pages.

This internet article is originally written by reporter NA JIYEON (Dispatch Press) and I am going to translate it into English.
And to whom it may concern, if this posting is against any copyright laws please let me know and I will take some proper measures.
(이 게시물이 저작권상의 문제가 있다면 알려주시기 바랍니다. 필요한 조치를 취하겠습니다.)

Link of the Original Article:
http://news.naver.com/main/read.nhnmode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=106&oid=420&aid=0000000450

*I translated only LAY's part in this page. Other members' parts were discussed in the previous pages.






6. LAY

▶Who: LAY, Chinese real name ZHANG YIXING

▶Where: Born on 7th of October 1991. He is from Changsha, Hunan, China.

▶When: Entered SM Entertainment in 2008. He was casted at the audition held in Wuhan, China. He has appeared in the broadcast 'China Star Academy' before debut.

▶What: He is in the role of sub vocal. He has unusual interest in music. He respects Beethoven and Mozart. He takes the healing character role among the team. He is considered the most kind member.

▶11R

SUHO says LAY is: Music genius. He never loses in his field to anyone. Professional who is endeavoring. The icon of healing^^

KAY->LAY: Unicorn. Lay is always healing~ healing~

KRIS->LAY: He is a nice and good friend. He also dances so well.

XIUMIN->LAY: He is full of enthusiasm.

CHANYEOL->LAY: He is the most pure and innocent member among EXO. He has high level of concentration on every work, he is good at dancing, singing and playing musical instruments and very enthusiastic. Sometimes he is too innocent that everyone is surprised and adores him.

D.O.->LAY: Unique attractions.

TAO->LAY: He dances so well and composes musics so well.

CHEN->LAY: He is a tough, considerate, cute and witty brother.

LUHAN->LAY: He dances so well and he is manly.

SEHUN->LAY: He is a good brother. Nice and cute.

▶LAY's Keywords: The representative of 'healing'. He was the icon of healing of EXO members. It was not for his showy speech nor abundant experiences. The source of LAY's healing was the heart of kindness. The members say that when they see LAY, their minds would naturally be purified.

It could be guessed that he has a lot of enthusiasm for music. He is interested in various fields such as composing musics, playing musical instruments, singing and dancing. He does composing practices or playing musical instruments when he has free time and he is so active at self-development.

Well, that is all for the translations of the entire article.
It took quite a long days to finish lol
I will post another translated article soon if possible :)
Thanks~

How does each member think of other members? (TAO) (Internet News Article Translation)

This is a translation of TAO's part followed by the previous pages.

This internet article is originally written by reporter NA JIYEON (Dispatch Press) and I am going to translate it into English.
And to whom it may concern, if this posting is against any copyright laws please let me know and I will take some proper measures.
(이 게시물이 저작권상의 문제가 있다면 알려주시기 바랍니다. 필요한 조치를 취하겠습니다.)

Link of the Original Article:
http://news.naver.com/main/read.nhnmode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=106&oid=420&aid=0000000450

*I translated only TAO's part in this page. Other members' parts were discussed in the previous pages or will be discussed in the following several pages separately.





5. TAO

▶Who: TAO, Chinese real name HUANG ZITAO. The master of martial art in EXO. He started learning Wushu (one kind of Chinese martial art) at the age of 6 and had been trained professionally for continuing 11 years. He was also an athlete for high jumping. He has a career of winning in Qingdao (his hometown) region tournament.

▶Where: Born on 2nd of May 1993. He is from Qingdao, China.

▶When: He was casted at the contest held in Qingdao, Shangdong, China in 2011. He dedicated to the debut preparation for 1 year.

▶What: He is in the role of rapper. He calls himself a romantic panda. He is easily moved to tears. He confessed that he tears once a day because he wants to see his grandma. Like as he is the youngest, he does lots of cute things.

▶11R

SUHO says TAO is: He asked me to write that he is special lol lol. He is really special and rich in sensibility. Our son of AB style.

KAI->TAO: A chick. He looks like a cute baby bird to me.

KRIS->TAO: My stylish and loving brother

XIUMIN->TAO: My homework

LAY->TAO: He is little bit distractive but so cute.

CHANYEOL->TAO: Unpredictable. The member who I can't expect what he's gonna do.

BAEKHYEON->TAO: Really unusual. I think I would display my superpower when I see him.

D.O.->TAO: AB style

CHEN->TAO: The cutie who is living in 4D world.

LUHAN->TAO: Unique AB style

SEHUN->TAO: My friend who is cute and beyond the 4D.

▶TAO's keywords: '4D', 'AB style'. He is a kind of unpredictable person that nobody knows what he's gonna do. He was getting all the concentrated attentions from the brothers half-willingly and half not. He was the most difficult homework for XIUMIN who is the most mature among the team.

There were also reversions. Brilliant martial art talent and athletic competence were useless in front of the brothers. He was just a cute youngest for the members. Even Lay sent him endless love saying that his 4D-personalities are also "cute".

*I translated only CHEN's part in this page. Other members' parts were discussed in the previous pages or will be discussed in the following several pages separately.






4. CHEN

▶Who: CHEN, real name KIM JONGDAE. The leader of Beagle line (Chanyeol, Baekhyeon, Chen) of EXO.

▶Where: Born on 21st of September 1992. He is from Siheung City, Kyeongi Province and graduated from Siheung Jeongwang high school (a high school located in Siheung City).

▶When: Got through SM audition on 2011. Mere 3 months of trainee days. The very person of super-speed debut.

▶What: Lead vocal. His specialty is ultra high-pitched tone. The member with the best affinity. He has so benevolent mind that he even flashes a smile at drastic fans.

▶11R

SUHO says CHEN is: The textbook of good-heartedness. He takes to me very well yet sometimes sulks at me. The possessor of lively attractions.

KAI->CHEN: Six-month-old Beagle. Although he is not at the level of Chanyeol for now he is still growing more and more.

KRIS->CHEN: Our main vocal! His high-pitched tone is wonderful.

XIUMIN->CHEN: My reliable Bro

LAY->CHEN: The main vocal of our team who makes the highest pitch by genuine sound (opposite to falsetto, I don't know what it is called in English).

CHANYEOL->CHEN: He is really good-hearted and funky. My soul mate 3 (I guess the reason he nominated BAEKHYEON, D.O. and CHEN as his soul mate 1,2,3 is because they are in the same age lol)

BAEKHYEON->CHEN: He is just funny when looking at. He is my friend of same age who is endlessly nice and he is good because he knows my mind very well.

D.O.->CHEN: Main vocal

TAO->CHEN: Superb singer

LUHAN->CHEN: He sings really well.

SEHUN->CHEN: He is funky and so nice. I love him.

▶CHEN's keywords: Those can be compressed into 'Guiyomi (a slang used to describe a cute person)'. He is the member who is said to let others make warm-smile by even just looking at. He is the possessor of lively and joyful personalities and takes the role of gag among the team. He boasts ultra affinity and gets along very well with all the members.

He is also a skillful vocal who debuted in just 3 months. LUHAN, TAO, D.O., KRIS praised his vocal competence. Without any particular modifiers they said 'he is a superb singer', 'a main vocal' and 'he sings really well'. Most of all, it was said that his high-pitched sound made by the ultra vocal cords is so attractive.

▶What: He is in the role of vocal and rapper with versatile talents. In accordance with the fact that he is the oldest brother of EXO (?) - the original writer input question mark as the meaning of humor, it's quite funny to say one gets up early just because he is the oldest among the group), he doesn't have any morning sleep (gets up earliest in the morning). The only 'morning person' among EXO members.

He also enjoys washing dishes. He is the icon of 'leading by example' who does cleaning by his own on behalf of the other brothers.

He was singled out by the manager of SM while he was shopping with his friends in Myeongdong (famous spot in Seoul). He joined in EXO-M after 3 years of trainee days.

Plus SUHO and CHANYEOL gave some reversals by saying "besides his baby like appearance, he has the attractions of real man".

[Naver Entertainment] Star Cast: Investigating EXO Part 2
-15 August 13-

*I translated only the introduction part and KRIS' part in this page. Other members' parts were discussed in the previous pages or will be discussed in the following several pages separately.

EXO is a rookie group who has been one year since their debut. Specialty is that they are Korean-Chinese twin group. Divided into 2 teams, and differed in their main stages. Unlike EXO-K who activates in Korea, EXO-M focused on China. Last June's 'Wolf' was their first activity in-land. Still cannot help but being unfamiliar with.

However things are different in China. They are already in the class of superstars. Last year, at the same time with their debut, they were awarded "the most popular group prize" and "the best dresser prize" for the first time as a rookie in the biggest Chinese music awards "Yinyue Fengyun Bang (the Music Billboard)". This year they were also awarded "the most popular group prize" for consecutive 2 years, rising to the stardom.

EXO-M is in the center of Korean-wave stardom. They are entirely different to EXO-K from the stage concept. If EXO-K is like teenage boys, EXO-M radiates masculine appeals. More powerful and strong. They are appealing the attractions of tough real man.

Investigating EXO Part 2. EXO-M on the eyes of EXO. All the 12 members made rolling papers on KRIS, LUHAN, XIUMAN, CHEN, TAO, LAY of EXO-M. Those are the personal comments on other 11 members except for each of themselves. I looked into them through 4W 11R (Who, Where, When, What, 11 Rolling Papers).






1. KRIS

▶Who: KRIS, Chinese real name WU YIFAN

▶Where: Born on 6th of November 1990. He is Chinese-Canadian. H was born in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China and spent his childhood days in Canada.

▶When: He got through SM Global Audition which was held in Canada on 2007. And went through 4 years of trainee days.

▶What: Leader of EXO-M and rapper. He has reliable personalities and is known to be most taciturn among the team. Also he is talented at global language skills. He is fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, English and Korean.

▶11R

SUHO says KRIS is: He is my dearest friend, dependable and faithful. Also a fashionista.

KAI->KRIS: Siberian Husky if he was an animal. He looks cool and solitary but to us he is a warm and cute brother.

XIUMIN->KRIS: The possessor of dependable appearance.

LAY->KRIS: Stylish, cool, enthusiastic and tall member.
