Omg... I REQUESTED THAT!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU.......... Lay spent around 1.4 million USD dollar on this MV and song all by himself. LAY is a member of EXO. He is also called the KING OF CHINA because of his contribution in representing china through his music and activities. This song is targeted towards the HATERS. In China Lotus is used as a slang and haters called Lay lotus who is like a two faced person. But they overlooked the effort Lay gives in representing China and it's culture to the world. So lay showed lotus and said even if it grows from mud, it's lit and valued, can be beautiful and successful. And that he's called the king of China. Lay is not only a singer, he's a rapper, called a DANCING MACHINE, an actor since childhood, brand ambassador, song writer and producer and more. He has his own entertainment company in china and has brunch in Korea as well. He even won producer of the year award couple of times. He's brand ambassador for more than 30 brands. I'd request you to check out VEIL, HONEY, SHEEP, PSYCHIC by LAY.
@theowl6141 yessss!!!!! He needs to watch it!!! Also the choreo version they did with the backdrop of Beijing i think it is! Lay is so talented and his back up dancers are soooo good too!
As an Exo fan, I feel the need to clarify this for non fans, Lay is a solo artist and a member of Exo still, he is not under SM entrainment though, and for fans it doesn’t quite matter if he performs with them or not, he would still be a member as much as he is willing to
Lay is still an EXO member do not listen to whoever says that he is an ex member, he is still in contact with the members and actually he performed recently in korea and he is probably already met with the others by now and in the one of the recent lives he did he video called EXO Chanyeol and they talks very comfortably and even said that they would love to make music together so yes he is still an EXO member, and also there is an amazing song that you would definetly love it, it's Lay- Honey it's really dope and you will understand why he is nicknamed "michael jackson's grandson" when you see the music video!! PS: apparently the word "lit" means Lotus in chinese (but i'm not sure i've just seen a comment about it somewhere before) which is a type of flower that can grow through the mud and dirt etc and still survive so yeah that's why he chose to use that word.
Yes, in Chinese there's a saying "出淤泥而不染" which is the story of the lotus flower that blooms from the mud yet is not tainted. This is also in response to his haters who calls him the white lotus, which infers that he is pretentious. So instead of avoiding being called a lotus, he uses it to turn the discussion to see a different view of the lotus. Hence why the song lyrics - you can't beat me down.
9:28 One of the many things that endeared the general public of China to Lay was how much Chinese culture and art he incorporates into his work. One of his first big breakout acting roles involved him playing Peking(Beijing) opera performer in a historical drama that was *hugely* popular; Lay's character in particular was a favorite of the public & there was a wax statue made for Madame Tussauds Shanghai~ Lay, after learning so much about the art, continued to incorporate it; like the opening of this MV is a depiction of a famous piece. LIT's MV was even premiered at a museum, if I remember right~~~ And, as a positive consequence, this trust that Lay loves his country and his country's culture lets him bring other cultures to them. Even deep in a unofficial/official Hallyu ban (which essentially halted all importing of kpop, k-dramas, & etc into China), Lay helped keep EXO in the good graces of the general public and media of China, even while EXO wasn't promoting there. Lay is also cited as a *big* reason krumping has seen an expansion in China's dance scene lately~~~
Lay he is the one who want to promote M Pop to the world. His tried to mix different Chinese elements into his music. His another master piece is "Flying Apsaras" , you should react this.
Lay Zhang is a Chinese producer, dancer, singer, songwriter and composer. He is an all rounder artist. This is one of the most beautiful MV he produced. He is one of the best artist you’ll ever know.
Lay from EXO.. LAY ZHANG YIXING IS CEO, producer, Choreographer, Director, Musician, Lyricist, Singer, Dancer, Model, Spokesperson for at least 30 brands, Actor He is ALL the things!!
“Flying Apsaras” is a must you should check, including the dace practice. coz so far the mv he released is only 48 seconds, it's dope. But the reason he only released less than 1 min because he was not satisfied with it. But everybody says it's soooo good!!
There is a Chinese opera called “Farewell my Concubine” in it the king has gone to war and he is surrounded by the enemy. The enemy sings songs from the King’s homeland to confuse him and draw him out. “Lit” may not be about that opera but it always reminds me of it when I rewatch it. There is another song by Lay called “Jade” that song is just as beautiful as “Lit” and it always scratches an itch in my brain like most modern songs with traditional influences do.
Look at the credits💥💥💥Lay's name is next to most of them. He is charge of all aspects of production. He is a master of Krumping( an old skool style of street dancing). His 'Flying Apsaras' visualizer and Dance Practice(perfection pure perfection)is pure ART. And a heartbreaking teaser for fans, because he never made the video because he wasn't satisfied with it. It didn't meet his standards, but left us begging for him to make the video for 'Flying Apsaras. Please react to them 🙏. Also checkout 'Veil', and 'Honey'. You can't box Lay in he is a creative Genius💚
The concept of this album is Shuang Sheng, meaning twin life. It is about the past and present life of the Hegemony King of Western Chu. Past - as the Hegemony King hence the Peking Opera character Present - Lay himself. In the album, the song Jade is a tribute to the Hegemony King's wife, Yuji. The two songs complete a story. Lay's biggest dream is to establish Mix-Mandarin Pop. The concept is to mix Chinese elements with cultures of others, whether it is modern or traditional. He breaks it down into 3 big general categories: Mix languages, mix culture and mix instruments. You can watch his new show "Show It All" where he exposes his new un-debuted girl group to girl groups of various countries in hopes to establish a branch of M-Pop through his trainees. In the show he extensively talks about his ideas to bring Chinese culture and music to the world. He is still in his experimenting phase as of current and has made various efforts, one being his conglomerate company - Chromosome Entertainment and another a label of his own D.N.A where just last year they held a music festival of 80k attendance in Guangzhou, Foshan.
Lay is a character in the music game that is very unique. I hope you could get to know him more. If you want to watch more distinct M-Pop music videos, there's one 40s visualiser that was released for the song - Flying Apsaras which is also incredible. Unfortunately the MV did not make the release as Lay had dissatisfactions with the MV production. He has extremely high standards for himself. As of current he is working with Warner Music Global to bring his newest album to the global market very soon in May or June. You can stay tuned to it.
For the EP in which Flying Apsaras is a part of, the name is "East" and it describes the story of the silk road and the cultural impact and glory of cultural exchange. Lay has some really big dreams, but he is working his way to it slowly. He started his solo career in 2016, but was already on the move in 2015 where he announced after winning an award for an original soundtrack he made for a movie (with tears backstage) that he would bring Chinese music to the world. Since then he has never stopped his footsteps and his concerts are always a joy to watch.
He has faced many disapproving voices as you've mentioned from people who are on both ends. However, he is determined to see this through. So, we as his fans, (his solo fans are called XBacks), are really glad to find people who could understand him, because not many do.
lol, pretty much Lay's WHOLE mission in his career is to bring traditional Chinese culture through the world through blending it with his modern music. He has traditional elements in pretty much everything. Seconding Flying Apsaras - it's SO AMAZING. I wouldn't say it has the same... epic-ness as this one (no full-length MV), but the song is just SO beautifully done. Also, Veil is really good; it literally starts out with traditional Chinese instruments playing in the street.
This is a masterpiece, visually, sonically, musically and with the dancing (Lay being one of the best dancers in k-pop and c-pop). He worked hard on this masterpiece and he nailed it.
He's very demanding with his own MVs, last year he didn't release the MV for Flying Apsaras (you can find the dance video) cause he wasn't satisfied with it, even though from snippets it looked super good. He's really hardworking, I'd suggest to go back to "Namanana" one of my favourites from his songs (and a beautiful MV)
Thank you for reacting to the king of China and my ultimate bias, Zhang (Lay) Yixing! He's so talented and an all-rounder. He's an incredible dancer(main dancer in EXO), singer/rapper, producer, song writer, composer, actor, model, CEO, ambassador of China, etc.. His biggest dream is to bring M-pop to the world and inspire ppl, esp the youth. He's a perfectionist/workaholic, ALWAYS working hard non-stop and barely has time to rest... he pretty much does everything himself, which you can see in the credits... he even paid over $1million on this MV all by himself. He's come so far and we're all so happy and proud of our little sheep lol Just wish he'd give himself a break and rest every now and then💜💜💜
An added bit of information, I had to look this up, but this has its roots in the Chinese Opera Farewell My Concubine with emperor Xiang Yu and his consort. The first half of the album uses these concepts. There's a good article about it on Medium titled : Concepts behind Lay Zhang’s 4th album LIT. You might enjoy it.
Glad that you are enjoying this after 3 years of releasing, haha. Lay (or Zhang Yixing) did have LOTS of great work out there as he is an artist and a performer with an extremely high standard. Lit is one of his best and if you enjoy this I think you would like 'Fei Tian' Visualizer (yes, not an MV because he is not satisfied with the whole outcome so he just release a visualizer). He often incorporate traditional Chinese elements into his work but his more 'pop' pieces are also a lot of fun since he is a great dancer and singer. He just release a new song 'Psychic' recently and will release an album soon this year too!
Yeah, I'm not sure where that once person in the chat was like "There was an official announcement that Lay left EXO a year or two ago" saw or heard that from, but no. Lay left SM Entertainment, but there has never been any official announcement of Lay leaving EXO, at least that I'm aware of. He just did an IG live where Chanyeol video called him a few days ago, and he was trying to convince Chanyeol to do a song in Chinese lol. I get that it's easy to come to that conclusion, since we haven't seen Lay with EXO since DFTF, but if only there were an official announcement of him leaving the group, then I think people wouldn't be hanging on for any OT9 crumb as long as they have.
You underestimated how huge he is in his country. Take a look at the run ups at the end, he financed 3 million of his own money, all choreography, editing, music, directing etc... He had just finished the Drama MING DYNASTY there. He is a good actor, former child star too, as well as a singer. Genious ❤
Your facial reaction says it all 🥰 Yes, he is Lay, a proud member of EXO from China. I'm sure you enjoyed the video and will admire Lay even more as he continues to grow into a true artist. Even though he had to separate from other members in EXO...Now Lay continues to work in China, he is a singer, actor, model, dancer, mentor, and in the business world he is the CEO of Chromosom Entertainment ❤
FINALLY! This has been in Discord *forever* and we were chomping at the bit. Lay has done what Suga did with the combination of modern and traditional. And also like Suga the concept and financing of it was all on him. But it is his concept to bring the traditional into the modern even as far as the traditional meanings behind the lotus itself. More Lay please.
The budget is $1.4M, all Lay's money. 🫡 He is still a member of EXO. The last comeback where he's part is DFTF era. He's not promoting with them yet, but he's still a member.
LAY's production team with him being the CEO of his own company Chromosome Entertainment is amazing!!! His brothers from EXO are more than proud. He's so hardworking!!!
Rigend Film makes the most amazing kpop MVs. They don't play around! I love that Lay worked with them on this one cause it's like meeting of creative powerhouses. This MV was breathtaking 3 years ago, and it's breathtaking now
Dude!! Finally I've been waiting. Your reaction was on point, exactly how I figured you would!! 😮 My ultimate favorite MV ..my guy funded this entire project because he is that dedicated to his craft. !! I love how he added many aspects of his life and culture and made you pay attention. Thank you for your reaction,
Love that we hit on a bit of Plato’s allegory of the cave at the 12 minute mark 😂 SO GLAD YOU LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! Breaking into the world of EXO a bit more lately 👀
"How many people know Lay? It's few of you🤣" Nah honey, Lay is Legendary, every seasoned kpop fans know Lay.He is one of EXO members🤣.The group who ruled before BTS blew up.He is just known for the group, He is one of the most successful Chinese artist. LAY is literally standard🤦♀️
Hah, Roscoe actually makes a very good point referring to the bubble. In my experience if you allow yourself to wonder outside your comfort zone it can be very rewarding and enrich your life. Music is one of the easiest ways to do this. Thanks for sharing❤ LyndaKatie
i am so happy lay was requested some more great vids from him are honey or veil both are great visual wise and musically so those are my next recc's for you
Lit is M-POP ( mix mandarin pop), Lay is singer, dancer, producer and actor, i always enjoy his live concert, he will have concert tour this year, and also, new movie with Jackie Chan this summer.
Thanks for your reaction! Check out more videos of Lay! He is awesome! Not all of his songs are so dark and pretentious, he is a very versatile musician. Sheep for fun, Flying Apsaras Dance Practice and a short Visualizer for another strong impression.
I've asked for this several times, I'm sure others have too. So glad you finally looked at it! If you're so inclined check on the video's reactions it's pretty wild. I believe it was over $5m, written, produced everything by him. It's based on an ancient emperor, thus all the historical aspects. that's the standard set of the Forbidden City that they use in a great many of the cdramas. I'm so glad you liked it. Really, check out what he did to get that produced. Also... check out some of the first reactions when it was first released, they're pretty epic. I think there's a "making of" video out there. I'm quite familiar with Zhang Yixing (Lay) through acting and music. His first acting role, I believe, was Mystic Nine and he was pretty darn good.
Lay is a member of EXO. I will always call him a member of EXO until he says definitely that he's not. And Lay is always amazing whether he's on his own or dancing in Monster.
Omg... I REQUESTED THAT!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU..........
Lay spent around 1.4 million USD dollar on this MV and song all by himself.
LAY is a member of EXO. He is also called the KING OF CHINA because of his contribution in representing china through his music and activities.

I'd request you to check out VEIL, HONEY, SHEEP, PSYCHIC by LAY.
Thank you for requesting this!! I think I also requested it 'cause this one is waaaaaaaay too good!
@@moo777 ikr... Lay is a legend... I hope he gets to see lay's concert performances as well
@theowl6141 yessss!!!!! He needs to watch it!!! Also the choreo version they did with the backdrop of Beijing i think it is! Lay is so talented and his back up dancers are soooo good too!
yaaaaaay! I asked for it a few times too! We finally got our wish! I thought he spent more on the video? It's been a while! It's just the best.
@jaksable1 im so glad we all requested this lol! You both have great taste ♡
Lay is a great solo artist and he always brings great music, he is an EXO member and he never left EXO...
Yasss

EXO’s Lay is always perfect ❤
Lay is still part of EXO people who don't follow EXO or Lay keep saying otherwise he introduced himself as EXO's Lay with Chanyeol last week
Lay is still an EXO member do not listen to whoever says that he is an ex member, he is still in contact with the members and actually he performed recently in korea and he is probably already met with the others by now and in the one of the recent lives he did he video called EXO Chanyeol and they talks very comfortably and even said that they would love to make music together so yes he is still an EXO member, and also there is an amazing song that you would definetly love it, it's Lay- Honey it's really dope and you will understand why he is nicknamed "michael jackson's grandson" when you see the music video!!

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! It's gonna blow Roscoe's mind.... 🤭
Lay Zhang is a Chinese producer, dancer, singer, songwriter and composer. He is an all rounder artist. This is one of the most beautiful MV he produced. He is one of the best artist you’ll ever know.
Because you are a director; I can’t believe it took this long for someone to request this; this is right in your alley.
Lay set the bar SO HIGH for a music video
Lay from EXO.. LAY ZHANG YIXING IS CEO, producer, Choreographer, Director, Musician, Lyricist, Singer, Dancer, Model, Spokesperson for at least 30 brands, Actor He is ALL the things!!
LAY is the KING.Love and greetings from GREECE.❤
Lay's Honey is an R&B banger in English and sheep, veil, lose control, flying Apsaras are also good ones
oh no, in China he's super loved and this song is still quite popular
Everything LayXing puts out is awesome
One of the best MV ever made!
“Flying Apsaras” is a must you should check, including the dace practice. coz so far the mv he released is only 48 seconds, it's dope. But the reason he only released less than 1 min because he was not satisfied with it. But everybody says it's soooo good!!

Lay is a soloist and the remaining chinese member of EXO
He is ART...Trust us. he definitely is ART...not just artist
Lit scratches my brain in places I didn't imagine a song would be able to reach👌
Lay is amazing ! Keep reacting!
You underestimated how huge he is in his country. Take a look at the run ups at the end, he financed 3 million of his own money, all choreography, editing, music, directing etc... He had just finished the Drama MING DYNASTY there. He is a good actor, former child star too, as well as a singer. Genious ❤

I think this is the best mv in the music industry
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!! FINALLY!!!
Yixing is so freaking talented. ❤
The budget is $1.4M, all Lay's money. 🫡 He is still a member of EXO. The last comeback where he's part is DFTF era. He's not promoting with them yet, but he's still a member.
The scale of this M/V is outta control. I swear its basically a full fledge movie trailer.
LAY's production team with him being the CEO of his own company Chromosome Entertainment is amazing!!! His brothers from EXO are more than proud. He's so hardworking!!!

I love when people take their time in every detail in yixing MV
You've watched EXO Monster before, LAY was in that mv too

I hope you react to Lay's song Honey. It's a different vibe than Lit but it's a really good groove for sure!
Explanation the dragon is his inspire animal about the lotus that's how his haters call him and means he is pretending being innocent
Rigend Film makes the most amazing kpop MVs. They don't play around!
I love that Lay worked with them on this one cause it's like meeting of creative powerhouses. This MV was breathtaking 3 years ago, and it's breathtaking now

Dude!! Finally I've been waiting. Your reaction was on point, exactly how I figured you would!! 😮 My ultimate favorite MV ..my guy funded this entire project because he is that dedicated to his craft. !! I love how he added many aspects of his life and culture and made you pay attention. Thank you for your reaction,
Lay EXO is Here. Craziest MV EVER ❤❤❤❤
You'll love this album. All the songs were heavily influenced by chinese traditional music.And he produced all of them himself.
This song and MV never fail to give me full body chills. I remember when it first came out I couldn't stop watching/listening to it
Oh. I remember when I first watched this. I was 😮😮.
Love that we hit on a bit of Plato’s allegory of the cave at the 12 minute mark 😂 SO GLAD YOU LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! Breaking into the world of EXO a bit more lately 👀
Happy that you watched this. You will be more enlightened after this :)
can people who dont know exo well stop confidently stating that lay left the group 😩 he says all the time that he's in exo
"How many people know Lay?
It's few of you🤣"
Nah honey, Lay is Legendary, every seasoned kpop fans know Lay.He is one of EXO members🤣.The group who ruled before BTS blew up.He is just known for the group, He is one of the most successful Chinese artist. LAY is literally standard🤦♀️
Hah, Roscoe actually makes a very good point referring to the bubble. In my experience if you allow yourself to wonder outside your comfort zone it can be very rewarding and enrich your life. Music is one of the easiest ways to do this. Thanks for sharing❤ LyndaKatie
this music video is a MASTERPIECE
i am so happy lay was requested some more great vids from him are honey or veil both are great visual wise and musically so those are my next recc's for you
Lit is M-POP ( mix mandarin pop), Lay is singer, dancer, producer and actor, i always enjoy his live concert, he will have concert tour this year, and also, new movie with Jackie Chan this summer.
He Is Lay EXO ❤🎉 Remember it !!!
Thanks for your reaction! Check out more videos of Lay! He is awesome! Not all of his songs are so dark and pretentious, he is a very versatile musician. Sheep for fun, Flying Apsaras Dance Practice and a short Visualizer for another strong impression.
I always goosebumps whenever i see this MV, like this MV is madness
I've asked for this several times, I'm sure others have too. So glad you finally looked at it! If you're so inclined check on the video's reactions it's pretty wild. I believe it was over $5m, written, produced everything by him. It's based on an ancient emperor, thus all the historical aspects. that's the standard set of the Forbidden City that they use in a great many of the cdramas.
I'm so glad you liked it. Really, check out what he did to get that produced. Also... check out some of the first reactions when it was first released, they're pretty epic. I think there's a "making of" video out there.
I'm quite familiar with Zhang Yixing (Lay) through acting and music. His first acting role, I believe, was Mystic Nine and he was pretty darn good.
Lay is the king for sure
Yay Roscoe! I was wandering when you will come across this epic MV.)) lol😂
Lay is a member of EXO. I will always call him a member of EXO until he says definitely that he's not. And Lay is always amazing whether he's on his own or dancing in Monster.
Still goosebumps watching this mv in my nth time
Your face was all off us when this dropped
Lay é incrível um artista completo ❤
7:27 Gotta look at that silver lining made me lol 😂
Thanks for checking out Lay! He is such a perfectionist and an incredible artist ^^
