Lay's new song "Kai Tian" is a perfect fusion of traditional culture and modern music, inspired by Pangu's opening of the sky and the earth, showcasing a unique musical style and deep cultural heritage, with a well-produced and visually stunning sound, it's a highly innovative and infectious masterpiece that is worth looking forward to and enjoying.
Thanks for your reaction . Lay spent three years preparing for this MV. The styling in“开天” (Kai Tian - Opening the Heaven) references Pangu, the mythical figure described as having “the head of a snake and the body of a dragon” (蛇首龙身). The song is released on January 1, a date chosen to coincide with the transition from the Year of the Dragon to the Year of the Snake, reflecting the imagery of the snake’s head and dragon’s body. The cracks on Lay’s face can be interpreted in two ways: as fissures representing the earth splitting open (symbolizing Pangu’s creation of heaven and earth) or as the cracks on a snake egg. According to ancient mythology, Pangu was said to have been born from a snake egg, giving the impression that he has just emerged from the egg, bearing its cracks and the naïveté of entering the world for the first time. The phrase “化左眼为日，开启太阳纪” (“transforming the left eye into the sun, ushering in the solar era”) explains the heterochromatic eyes. This links to the mismatched-eye motif seen on the cover of his album “莲” (Lit) and in the final scene of the “What Do You Need” MV from his first album “Lose Control”, where the left eye is briefly revealed as heterochromatic. The “solar era” refers to a 12-year cycle, aligning with Lay’s 12th year since debut. Starting from January 1, it marks the beginning of his 13th year in the industry and the start of a new solar era, corresponding with the studio’s announcement of a “new chapter.” It feels like the conceptual framework Lay wants to present was already formed at the start of his solo career. Every step since then has been a building block for this grand system. He spent 12 years completing the first “ enormous circle”in his heart. What kind of mind is this? It’s absolutely incredible.
Artists with an eye amaze me and inspire me to create. To dedicate chunk of your life and have everything planned to a T creating a masterful storyline. I hope to create something that is a inspiration to others someday like him😊❤ ...im a sucker when mythology gets mixed in😂
thank you for your reaction, I hope more and more people know Lay and like him, I hope he can come to Melbourne to have a concert, hope both of us dreams come true on 2025. happy new year
At least one album a year, excluding singles, and is not perfunctory fans, not perfunctory public, mv are carefully produced, the input cost is visible to the naked eye high, debut so many years there has been learning new things, dance, choreography, singing, concept, I like these a few things every one of them to take a hand, not to mention there are dramas, movies ......It's horrible that they still train these trainees. He treats his fans with respect, he doesn't have any scandals, he keeps giving his fans something new every year, and he keeps rising 🔝. He's already a legend in my heart, male fan, I couldn't be more impressed.
and that whoosh sound is another traditional Chinese instrument called "yao gu" that is a small drum that you put on your waist to play. Lay's Mpop not only mix Mandarin and other language, the other important mix is using traditional Chinese instrument.
same as me, I been watching the mv over and over again and still feels like I missed lots of information. Lay have the whole Mpop universe in his brain, I wanna watch more @@M-de-Vale
I am out of words... words are difficult indeed... my heart is so full... this is Zhang Yixing. 🔥🧎🏻♀️ The intro i kept repeating i hope i'm not summoning any destruction in 2025 😭🤣 i love youuuu Lay!!! also... TACOOOOOOOOOOOO 🐱🫶🏻
Thank you for your reaction and Happy New Year and best wishes for everything you will accomplish ❤ Lay has again presented us with a masterpiece of both modern and traditional aspects 🥰 Do you think that there is also Exo storytelling involved, for example with space and other tiny bits? He could probably make an entire art book of his reaction with all the details of background, story and reverences. 😅
Happy New Year, Anitra ❤️🥳 What a start to the new year! I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I said he’s a living legend. I’m so, so proud of him...the MV is legendary. The way he incorporated traditional Chinese instruments into the production is perfect. God, he’s so talented. Btw, that tree reminds me of the Tree of Life. I really wish he could watch your reaction. He would be so happy and proud to see how much you appreciate every little detail in the MV.
Thank you for this reaction. I love how you are the first one to react. The tree is actually called the tree of life that powers up the entire city. Somehow, it feelis like he is adapting the lore in the Chromosome universe which is an actual novel released by his company. But you know Yixing, his creativity and musicality is just so powerful and amazing. Hope you get to watch the live performance from the ceg NY countdown. He even sang Miracles in December.
Happy new year girl!❤❤ Totally unrelated but your necklace makes me think of Aespa...maybe their Armageddon outfits?anyway i'm glad we are kicking out this 2025 with Lay...❤❤
I agree he is so amazing. Also, there are some comments from other EXOL that he might be X-EXO Lay whose super power is destruction and a complete opposite of Lay's super power Healing... Since we love things like this... I truly cannot unsee it now... He is sooooo good.
I think golden hair Lay is the priest from the future and is trying to connect to red hair Lay, the ancient god Pangu? Creating the M-Pop universe? Pangu in ancient Chinese tale is the god creating the world . He separated the sky and earth by his axe. His left eye became the sun, his right eye became the moon, his body became the land, his vessels became rivers….
Happy New year.. I was literally rewatching your other EXO reactions when this popped up so of course i had to watch it right away. As always your reaction did not disappoint. Thankyou for your reaction. Everytime there is an exo related video released, i always look forward to your reactions. Thankyou
Anitra! I recommend you to watch DG REACTS about this MV, I think he understood a little bit more about the concept 👍 because I was like you, totally confused 😅. Lay is THE KING of China and Mpop and more 😍🤍👏
I saw the structure created by all the Lays and first I thought, great there’s one for each of us. But no, I wouldn’t like that. He is unique. There’s only one Lay Zhang.

As Chinese I'm so pround of what he do that his lyrics wrote "taking China to the world" and could convey his concept "mix- mandarin- pop" directly
Yixing is a real artist, hope his works can be seen by more people. Love your reaction, and the kitten🫶
