Lay is a huge Krump dancer. He learned it in under 6 months too! The creator (an American) of Krump style dancing even called Lay and complimented him and was blown away by how short of a time he had been doing it! Please check out more of his music! Lay and Kang Daniel are my favorite soloist!!!
Fun fact Lay is the main dancer and vocalist of EXO. All of this projects are entirely self produced, the musical composition, lyrics and the choreography are all him.
Thanks I thought I hallucinated when I thought it was a solo from a Kgroup. Saved me going back and checking. I recommend this one to anyone in love w/ Daechita.

YAY...LAY "Lit" 💜😀 I suggested it often too in comments here 😁. I'm a fan since I discovered this MV. Lay makes really good music live, I bet you get more suggestions now :). Thx for your reaction!
Yes LAY. he is really amazingly talented and stay still so humble, He put so much hard work in his songs, trying different styles integrating his chinese culture in it. Even learning new dance styles. And the fact that hes put mIllions of his own mony in producing all the MV says alot.
Something spooky just happened! I love Lit by Lay (also his track "Honey" totally different vibe) - have not seen the MV in about 4-6 months. Woke this morning, thought I'll watch the MV again and you have dropped it on YT today! Love your reactions, love this MV, how random is that timing!
Zhang Yixing, better known by his stage name Lay Zhang or simply Lay, is a Chinese singer, rapper, songwriter, dancer and actor. He debuted in 2012 as a member of the South Korean-Chinese boy group EXO and its subunit EXO-M under SM Entertainment. Lay has his own agency viz Changsha Chromosome Entertainment, 9 Chinese Films and Dramas Starring Lay Zhang : • To Be a Better Man ( 2016) - The Mystic Nine ( 2016 ) - Kung Fu Yoga ( 2017 ) - Operation Love ( 2017 ) - The Island ( 2019 ) - The Golden Eyes ( 2019 ) And Others
Lay is one of EXO, he's one man multitasking. There is Flying Apsaras, there is only visualizer and it's so cool, just because he doesn't like the result but the dance practice is soooo gooooddd. And there's VEIL!!!
Actually, it’s Flying Apsaras dance practice got me into pop music. Then I quickly became an EXO-L. I’m so glad I got to see Lay’s Grandline tour in San Francisco. Now I’m looking forward to EXO comeback!
Chinese members of K-Pop, like Lay and Jackson Wang, did solo projects like this. I had forgotten how good this was (it was released around the same time as Daechwita which I found exciting because it brought into focus very different but similar historic cultural references). Jackson Wang went more old school R&R and his MV’s end with some behind the scenes).
I was introduced after commenting on Sugas Daechita so I checked it out and thought ..Damn!. I thought that this was a solo from a different k-group's member from China though & not a group. So the member did his cultural homage in his solo. All I am saying is production needs to step up everywhere to meet Asia. This was beautiful.
I think this song is so cool, like how traditional Chinese instruments are mixed with modern music. I wish I knew the name of the traditional instrument that's used in the song but I know it's not a guitar:)
This is a million dollars of his own cash. That's why the production for the mv is nuts. If you check the credits too Lay did almost everything for this mv. Talent!
Lay is so talented - also an excellent dancer and was a judge on Street Dance of China season 3 with Jackson and Yibo.. then on season 4 again with Yibo and Henry Lau. He is also one of the most humble humans on the planet.There is so much talent in China - some of them were trainees in Korea before going back but the pool is deep.... heaps of content for you to wade through John !! Good luck buddy !! hahahaha... *btw - caught you on the Orig live earlier... I just love Jeff and Taylor... *
Hi~ Thank you so much for reacting to Lay ^^ If you are interested, the guitar-sounding instrument is actually a kind of Chinese lute called the pipa ^^ His other songs also features other interesting instruments/elements: Veil (stringed-bow instrument called the erhu, muyu), Flying Apsaras (more pipa & classical dance from Dunhuang & motto caves), Horse (morin khuur/horsehead fiddle & Mongolian ethnic dance), Jade (cubic flute called hulusi), Changsha (Chinese flute called dizi), Descendants of the Dragon (Chinese horn called suona), Gluttony (pipa, erhu, cymbals called xiaocha), etc. etc. Lay plays the hulusi and currently learning the erhu ^^
I am desperate for a film to be made with this production and with Lay as the lead! Everything about this MV was epic… lyrics, beat, visuals, the fact that Lay put up the money (a rumoured 1.4million) himself to produce this and that the MV is based on one of his favourite Chinese legends of a powerful general trying to rescue the love of his life. The lotus theme, if I am getting this correct, is symbolic of becoming something beautiful in a world full of ugliness…. showing his haters he can do anything if he wants to. The dark trap beat just pairs beautifully with the traditional instruments and I hope that he stays with this style as I’ve fallen in love with it. You have to check out ‘Veil’ by him too… so damn good… as is ‘Horse’ & ‘Jade’… although I think there is only lyric videos for those. There is a live performance of ‘Horse’ which is amazing but it has no subtitles. So glad you checked him out… he is so worth a listen and supporting as he is a sweetheart too. PS. Give Huta with his songs ‘Boom’ and ‘Ya’ a listen. A little more on the pop side but still so good.
Lay can pretty much do everything ! He is a singer, a rapper, a dancer, a choreographer, a producer, a snob writer, he even owns his own entertainment company. He will hopefully promote again with EXO in their next comeback, it's been so long ♡
In China they have their own social media platforms alternative to what we use. The platforms we use are forbidden there so they use VPN in order to access youtube for example. That's why Chinese singers views are not that high on youtube. But in their social media platforms LAY has billions of views and one of the most famous artists in China. He sells billions and he is well known.
Check out his video and song "Veil". He did participate in the EXO mini-album that came out in spring of 2021. He is in the video for Don't Fight The Feeling.
Lay is a part of Exo and the group's remaining Chinese member. It is just that he is not actively promoting with them the past couple of years due to political tensions between China and South Korea. In the meantime he has made a VERY successful solo career in China. He has multiple awards as an artist and producer. He is appearing in tv shows, stars in dramas and movies. He is also an endorser of multiple local and inernatinal brands. He is very passionate in what he does and is always making ways to improve himself and learn new things be it in dancing, singing or academically etc.
Really hope you react to more Exo and solo stuff more often~ Lay is a fantastic soloist. Honestly would love to see you do Cesar Oh's individual member guides for them.
I love this because it’s inclusive of this ARTIST’s CULTURE. From other comments, my understanding is that LIT means LOTUS…his haters called him that as a derogatory term. In his CHINESE culture it’s like calling an INDIGENOUS NATIVE AMERICAN a RED APPLE 🍎. I would recommend his DANCE PERFORMANCE “FLYING ASPARAS”. He spent a million on this MV as a SINCERE TRIBUTE…I agree it’s absolutely STUNNING. A different CHINESE ARTIST who I’m sure you’ll love is JACKSON WANG “CRUEL” who is also a member of GOT7 a KPOP Group who semi disbanded by their messed up ENTERTAINMENT Agency in SK. Nevertheless, they still produce music together for their fans. Thanks for sharing your support and positive comments on this MV review.
I know you like your metal music. I know you like pentatonix. They have a christmas sing o come all ye faithful. It is nothing the original. You may like it.
I don’t know if you’ve listened to Twenty One Pilots before, but you should react to them. They’re a two piece band and I suggest Ode To Sleep by them.
I can't like EXO, mostly because of their fandom, but I always thought Lay was adorable. His dimples get me every time. This MV cost him a pretty penny, but man, it's so worth it.
@@petrabalochova7703 Fandom may not make music, but they influence how you feel about the group or musicians when your experience with them was so toxic it almost ruined my love for kpop. There are EXO songs that I like, but I cannot and will not be a part of the toxicity that surrounds them because of their fan base.
Lay is a huge Krump dancer. He learned it in under 6 months too! The creator (an American) of Krump style dancing even called Lay and complimented him and was blown away by how short of a time he had been doing it! Please check out more of his music! Lay and Kang Daniel are my favorite soloist!!!
I for sure will!!! cant wait! and bet I'll be dressed for the occasion!
Fun fact Lay is the main dancer and vocalist of EXO. All of this projects are entirely self produced, the musical composition, lyrics and the choreography are all him.
Why is that a fun fact. It's just a fact
Thanks I thought I hallucinated when I thought it was a solo from a Kgroup. Saved me going back and checking. I recommend this one to anyone in love w/ Daechita.
Fun fact indeed! Hope he'll be able to join the group on the comeback this year.😀😀😀
@@monkat3759 All of Lay's solo work is Cpop in Chinese though, Lay is also from China hence why he said taking China to the world in the song.

Lay is the definition of perfect idol
Lay fronted the money for this video himself. He has high standards!

Yes, I have been waiting for your reaction to Lay. Love this song and mv.
Seeing this live in nyc back in November honestly made me cried ngl
I love this song

Lay plays the hulusi and currently learning the erhu ^^
Lay veil recomended
Gotta watch his newest. "VEIL".
I am desperate for a film to be made with this production and with Lay as the lead!

OMG! Yes! This song and MV are amazing 💜
So glad you reacted to this, Lay is AMAZING! You should check out Veil and Flying Apsarsus as recommended below. He's amazing
Lay can pretty much do everything ! He is a singer, a rapper, a dancer, a choreographer, a producer, a snob writer, he even owns his own entertainment company. He will hopefully promote again with EXO in their next comeback, it's been so long ♡
LAY IS PETER'S ULTIMATE BIAS! He's going to be so happy to see you reacted to him!
Ahhh I love culture. Wish I had one
Lit is epic!
Masterpiece theater/ Lay
EXO’s Lay! Our China Sheep! We are so proud of him. He is doing things on another level! ❤
Yes exo layyyyyyyyy my wrecker bias, his super duper talented man,
Woo did you see my massage yesterday ? And did this reaction woooo thank youuu
He is lit. He is our super talented EXO lay. Wo0ow. Thanks for your react. Plz watch veil and namanana / honey of lay.
I highly recommend you watch/listen to “flying apsaras” (dance practice, as there is no mv) or his newest “Veil” mv
Lay ended his contract with the SM but still a family(member) of EXO
Thanks for reaction Lay EXO ❤️
Also, lovin' the look 🔥🥵
LIT means LOTUS in chinese so when he says '' I am the lit'' he means '' I am the lotus'' which has a meaning in their culture, i mean the lotus.

I really enjoy your reaction to EXO and the members solo activities! Hoping for more content from you!
Lay dropped his new full English album STEP recently and the title song Step MV is out now. Check it out ❤. Looking forward to your reaction video ❤❤❤
He's the one you said may be your bias in the Exo Monster video.
Really hope you react to more Exo and solo stuff more often~ Lay is a fantastic soloist. Honestly would love to see you do Cesar Oh's individual member guides for them.

Lay adalah kebanggan EXO & EXO-L 🤍🤍🤍🤍
I know you like your metal music. I know you like pentatonix. They have a christmas sing o come all ye faithful. It is nothing the original. You may like it.
PLEEEEEEEEEASE DO "Cruel" by Jackson Wang
Lay is from EXO band.. the sude you said might be your bias😅
Please do the reaction to Masterpiece by Motionless in white
I don’t know if you’ve listened to Twenty One Pilots before, but you should react to them. They’re a two piece band and I suggest Ode To Sleep by them.
LAY=EXO❤
LAY IS AN EXO MEMBER❤
I can't like EXO, mostly because of their fandom, but I always thought Lay was adorable. His dimples get me every time.

Why can't you like a group because of fandom?? Fandom doesn't make a music..
@@petrabalochova7703 Fandom may not make music, but they influence how you feel about the group or musicians when your experience with them was so toxic it almost ruined my love for kpop. There are EXO songs that I like, but I cannot and will not be a part of the toxicity that surrounds them because of their fan base.
Your excuse is to obvious 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Army to 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@songsong2158 I'm not attached to any fandom, thanks.
