MirrorBF@weibo: ran into him coincidentally at Starbucks 

—————————————————————-

支葵JinGyun@weibo: Hug with mom before he departed. All fans automatically moved aside. Here’s my preview! The car door blocked view of his mom. 

—————————————————————-

xmL妙: Kris’ mom hugged him tightly

—————————————————————-

拉麵_Ramyun@weibo: Kris was too nice. After he checked in he wanted to take a group photo with the fans, but it became too crowded so it became unfeasible. He kept on telling fans that he will come back to Guangzhou.

 

—————————————————————-

IceyLK@weibo: ahhhhhh Kris was super handsome. He was so close to me. I was too excited that my photo came out blurry.

—————————————————————-

吴亦凡效应@weibo: Fan account summary:  1) Last time he mistakenly wrote 凡 instead of 丸 for a fan, he corrected it for her this time (t/n: what a lucky fan… to have him autograph not once, but twice). 2) He autographed as much as possible. 3) Fans were helping him to organized the gifts, Kris said “give me all the letters, I want to put them on the inner shelf of the suitcase. 4) He shared “big bunny”(大白兔) milk candy with fans. 5) After he signed, he told fan to be careful because ink was still wet and it might smear. 6) Because it was too hot, the back of his shirt was soaked with sweat, he chose one of the T-shirts that fans gave him and changed. 7) He spent over 2000RMB to buy a suitcase to carry fan gifts.

»Part 2«

———————————————————

hoho-Y@weibo: Yesterday EXO-M Kris Wu came to the store to buy a duty free 2460RMB (~395USD) colorful suitcase to carry all the gifts that fans brought him. When I was helping him to checkout I saw on his passport that he was born in 1990, has Canadian citizenship, and his photo was handsome too. He was really friendly, in the store, there were approximately 20-30 fans + workers + tourists, all taking his picture with flashing cameras, he didn’t show a single bit of cockiness. I hope he becomes more and more popular. 

———————————————————

斯巴达撒鼻息呆死奈@weibo: Quietly you went from 3 meters away to right behind my back. When I turned my head I was like “ahhhhh” Did my powerful presence attract you dear? Happiness came too quickly, I couldn’t handle. (It was really a random encounter, I swear I’m not stalking him. This was my first time meeting an idol in the airport, I was so shocked that I didn’t know what to do)

———————————————————

惊蛰是黑皇后@weibo: Honestly speaking, Kris today… I have not seen an idol like him in my whole life. Seriously! Joking with fans… when asked to speak Cantonese he would speak Cantonese…bowing… bought a 2000+RMB suitcase to carry all the gifts from fans… changing T-shirt like he was playing a game… when asked for an autograph he would autograph everything without hesitation. The most stunning part was, because there were too many fans surrounding you, the airport staff came to check on the situation, you told them that “We are together.” Just for these words, fanning you is worthy. 

———————————————————

拉麵_Ramyun@weibo: Today while hearing you speak Cantonese I felt that you were so friendly and down-to-earth. If you have time come back to Guangzhou more. Today there were so many fans, you are certainly a highlight of Guangzhou. I really feel that… you are so good looking, skin is great too… 

———————————————————

Kim娜娜_范@weibo: Today Kris went back to Korea. Before he left he accepted many gifts from fans and they were really heavy. Some fans offered to help him carry them but he insisted that he carry them himself. Later a fan joked with him “You cannot bear to leave these behind?” He nodded his head and said “yes.”  Girls… this kind of idol comes once in a lifetime!

———————————————————

勋贝比@weibo: 121115 Guangzhou airport sending Kris off. He was extremely friendly, he even spoke Cantonese. Even though it wasn’t 100% accurate, he still sounded really really pretty.  

———————————————————

Oh-my_lady凡凡灿灿@weibo: Kris’ mom hugged Kris before he took off. Mom cried really hard. He looked really worried, he stopped and glanced at her several times before he walked away. I couldn’t hold it back so I cried too. After this parting, who knows when is the next time she’ll see him again. 

KCON 2012 Fan Account Part 1

EXO-biased——
In short: The convention was fun. Felt cheated during the autograph part… but the concert was one of the best! Love EXO-M even more now, and developed new love for the other groups~~~ pictures to follow later!

Long version:
= Part 1= Convention
Everybody was fashionably dressed. Saw some clever cosplay costume (such as the yellow suit from gangnam style) but it must’ve been really hot for them! I was burning up in my lightweight dress… imagine wearing a suit, long pants, or thick jackets! Apparently there was a Lay look-alike walking around cosplaying at Lay too. But we were so busy figuring out fansign stuff that we missed him. There were some parents with their elementary school aged kids as well. haha starting the kpop craze early!

As soon as we got there, we lined up for merchandise because we promised some fanboy friends that we’d get them 4minute and G.Na autographs… lol and oh boy were we ever wrong….! First of all, the merchandise line was more packed than a Japanese subway train. People kept on cutting from left and right so even though we were a few people away from the cash register, it still took a lonnng time. Then we found out from a fanboy who looked like Kai that that only the first 100 with fansign voucher can get stuff signed. OMG After we got out, we headed straight for the artist signing booth. NU’EST was already half way through with their Q&A session. We weren’t planning to get NU’EST autographs so we didn’t feel too bad. Some people were leaving from the crowd so we followed their paths and got to the frontal half of the tent. I saw a lot of Baekho from my angle, and Ren was really noticeable with his blonde hair so I kept on looking over there as well :P Ren also got the loundest cheers. They are just as cute in person as I had expected. Younger appearing too. In music videos and performances they give off the manly sexy vibe, in person during the Q&A they appeared simply as cute and innocent high school boys. Just make you want to hug them and pet their heads. Aron did most of the talking. Minhyun’s Optimus Prime imitation was hilarious. My friend who was new to NU’EST thought he was the cutest, I thought JR looked the best while sitting up there.

I wanted a B.A.P. autograph as well so I was trying to find out how to acquire those vouchers. We were right up there at the fansign line but were disappointed to find out that the vouchers were being distributed elsewhere at random places by random staff members. The whole idea was a huge “WTF.” Nothing made sense. The staff members kept on sending us to various locations so we practically walked around the entire convention area multiple times without much success. By then, the mission seemed futile so we just decided to line up early to see the boys instead. All the Babys were super enthusiastic, some were talking about their EXO biases while waiting in line. Lol! There was a little bit shoving and squeezing, but it wasn’t too bad. My friend and I are relatively tall so at least we got to enjoy the occasional breeze that swept over our heads. Haha. We came near the front and we got a good view of B.A.P. The boys came on and the scene became a little bit more frantic, in addition to that, it was really hot and everyone was shedding crazy sweat. My friend became lightheaded so she left to wait for me outside. The boys came in their adorable yellow stage costumes and seemed to be in really good spirits. Bang Yong Guk’s voice was super sexy in person, as expected, and Himchan looked extremely handsome, more so than he did in photoshoots. His side was less congested(I guess the other 5 boys were slow at signing), so I took a bunch if pictures of Himchan just sitting there waiting. XD I was closer to his side so I just kept looking at him too. Zelo got the loudest cheers and he seemed like he was enjoying himself alot.

After B.A.P. there was Vixx, to be honest, we didn’t really know them that well… So we just stood on the side to watch the Q&A. The boys looked handsome, and did tons of fan service. We were laughing the entire time.

After witnessing the insane crowd… We figured that it would be impossible to acquire G.Na’s vouchers to get my fanboy friends posters signed, so our mission now became exploring the other booths and at the same time look for EXO-M vouchers. Just as we were walking past the glass walls with everybody’s signatures on it, we ran into Simon and Martina! It was really unexpected, I just kinda turned around and Simon was right in front of me holding a huge camera. I don’t know if he was actively filming or not, but I l hope not, because I was right in front of his filming zone and looked like a flustered deer in headlights by the unexpected run-in. i waved hi and immediately pulled out my phone and snapped a few pictures of him. Martina followed close by, trailed by a group of fan girls/boys. They were both surprisingly tall! I guess it was because we’ve gotten so used to watching them from the overhead camera angle that I thought I would be looking down at them in person too. XD The next hour or so was just spent signing up for offers at different booths and getting goodies, people watching, food-eating (btw, everything was overpriced and they did NOT taste good either, bleh)

It was getting closer to EXO-M time and we were still voucher-less. Realizing that we were not going to be meeting our biases face to face was the most heart-breaking moment… (excuse my extreme negativism in the upcoming paragraph, allow me to be a little angry Asian girl lol) I just don’t understand why the vouchers were passed out randomly. I understand that the staff was trying to avoid overly exuberant fangirl crowds for safety reasons but at least they should have informed us of this rule beforehand. Event organization was super messy, you just see mobs of fangirls running around frantically… It was a dirty low-blow to set our hopes up, sell all these merchandise, and do not carry through. My friend and I came all the way across so many states just for this one autograph chance that KCON promised us… ugh! Frustrated, angry, and tired…we went to line up to simply see EXO- M instead. Being in the super-hyped EXOtic crowd made us feel better. People were talking about their EXO biases again and some were going over all the inside jokes like “Ayo waddup Krease” and “Roll like a buffalo.” XD At least that was entertaining to watch. The MC started warning us about not pushing and not shoving, and made us step back a couple of times. To be honest, some fans there were a bit too crazy. First of all, it took awhile for the G.Na group to leave the tent because some of them wanted to stay on the front for EXO-M. Then the stepping back part was chaotic. At first we listened to the MCs and stepped back as we were told, but some fans simply used that opportunity to move ahead of us. I was getting a little frustrated because we were initially close to the front but all these stepping back and opportunistic people cutting in line landed us back in the middle of the crowd instead. I was already heartbroken from not being able to acquire a voucher, and I was not just about to watch my place getting replaced by line-cutters who do not obey the MC’s instructions too. So I stopped stepping back. Plus it was impossible to do anyways because people behind us were pushing forward. All in all, it was total chaos. My dress got dirty sweat stains from people’s arms and people’s hair were all over the place. I was riding in the crowd, at some point I wasn’t even sure if my feet were on the ground. LOL! MC threatened a couple of times of canceling the event, but I doubted that they would do it because a significantly more # of people would be angry… judging from the current situation, hell would break lose. Angry crowd is more of a fire-hazard than a lovestruck crowd.

Fast forward 10 something minutes, we managed to move up back to our original near-front spots again. We heard the screams from outside of the tent, and knew that EXO-M was about to come in. My heart was racing and I was getting my phone-cam ready to snap pictures. The next hour or so is a blur because I was totally mesmerized by EXO-M in person… now I know for certain that these perfect boys exist in 3D flesh form. They are no longer 2D images from my computer screen. forgive me if I forget any details. First Kris swiftly came on, followed by Lay, Xiumin, Luhan, Chen, and finally shy baby panda Tao. I was screaming so loud along with everybody that I wasn’t even sure what was going on at the moment. The boys looked extremely extremely handsome in person. Kris was tall and thin in his fitted jacket, he looked thinner and slimmer than I expected. His face is just as handsome as he appeared in pictures and he has reallllly smooth skin. He even looked in my direction a couple of times while he stood by his chair. I died every single time he looked over. I was standing on my toes the entire time (my calves weren’t even that tired because people from front, back, left, and right were holding me up lol) I was just taken aback by the fact that I was seeing my all time favorite idol since December 2011 in person from a relatively close distance. If you have been keeping track of the posts I’ve made, you know that Kris is my ultimate bias in EXO. I was totally mesmerized by Kris’ handsome features and sexy demeanor and friendly eyes. I didn’t take as many pictures of him that I had planned to because I was just fully enjoying the moment… Hearing Kris greet us in English, flashing his rare and cool smile was the best thing that has happened since the whole voucher let-down. Lay was being very gentle and polite beside Kris. He was also playful in that he stood up a couple of times to give us his infamous awkward heart pose. I also cracked up when he greeted us with a swag “What’s up” while everybody else said “hello” LOL Lay’s English pronunciation was perfect. He must have practiced a lot on the plane. But then again, his pronunciation in “My Girl” during his self-composing days were decent to begin with… so maybe he didnt have to practice that much. His skin was milky white as usual and omg his dimples!!!!! He was extremely adorable in person I just wanted to squeeze him! Luhan was being his usual cute self, smiling and nodding and being a kid the entire time. His English pronunciation was really good too. I could tell that they were burning up on the inside under all those jackets and tops. Luhan’s face was getting reallllly sweaty. Hahaha. Xiumin baozi was super happy. He looked like how he appeared in pictures. He had his signature smile on the whole time, and there were a lot of Xiuhan moments that I’m sure have been captured by everybody on their cameras. ;D. Chen was struggling with his English sentences, hahaha so cute! We found it so adorable that he was trying so hard. My friend, who was a new EXOtic, found Chen to be the cutest because she really liked his bright smile. He kept on waving and pointing at us fans and smiling/laughing, there were also a few Chentao moments. Chen was just a really warm person in general. Also, it is true that he’s evencuter in person than in photos. Lastly, it was Tao. he was really handsome in person, probably had the most contrast between in person and in photos out of all the members in my opinion. In photos he already looked good, but in person he gave off a shy, youthful, but sexy vibe that I can’t really describe. I didn’t expect to be swooned so much by Tao but I did~! His face was small, hair covering part of his dark and mysterious panda eyes, smooth skin, basically somebody whom you would do a quadruple-take if you passed him on the street. My friend thought Kris, Tao, and Chen were the cutest. But I, of course, for being a long-time EXOtic, was paralyzed by all of them. The fansign started so we couldn’t see much for the next 20 minutes or so. My phone also died (curse you Apple and the battery killer IOS6!!!!) I had to borrow my friend’s phone to snap pictures and videos because I was closer to stage than she was.I caught glimpse of them in between fans. Tao and Chen’s side were less congested so they were interacting with fans the most in between people. Half way through History started playing, and we all screammmmmed our hearts out! Lay and Luhan suddenly got up and started dancing to History in the middle of signing! Perfectly in sync, powerful, super manly. We screamed even louder in excitement. I’m sure the two fans in front of them got massive heart attacks from this surprise fan service. Hahaha. We also chanted “we are one!”a couple the times, as well as “Taoris” multiple times teeheehee… Then shoving and pushing got worse. We were swaying left and right over 5-6 feet a couple of times due to people pushing from the sides. It was as if we were trapped in a turbulent ocean. The MC warned us a couple of times, then Kris stood up to tell us to be careful and take a few steps back because he didn’t want us to get hurt. That was extremely sweet of him. Some people started chanting “one step two step three step four~” hahahaha. We couldn’t move that much because of all these people around us trapping us in. Fortunately I didn’t feel like my safety was being threatened because there were literally 0 room to move your arms and legs, especially near the front. Even if I wanted to fall I wouldn’t have been able to because of all these people packed like sardines. It was the most crowded fansign out of all the groups. Haha. Call me immature but there were some middle-aged-elderly men getting autographs on stage, that brought up some of the desperation and frustration I felt about the vouchers earlier because they didn’t even look like they were that excited at all. They probably got passed those vouchers by staff members in random without even being an EXOtic. I ran around the whole day and didn’t get a single voucher… now as I’m recalling this event on my longggg flight back to the midwest, it felt even more unsettling. Why is that some non-EXOtics got vouchers and some of us most dedicated fans were left hanging without a warning? Especially if we were given false hope in the beginning… Okay, no more complaints about KCON… I understand that it’s their first time organizing this event.
Back to happy stuff. Kris ordered all the members to stand up for the entire Q&A session so everybody could see them(this made it easier for my poor sore cam-holding arms). He also made shout-outs to the poor fans in the back, and made sure they could see the boys on little stage. Man… Duizhang was just radiating with warmth~~~~~! You can definitely tell how genuinely caring he is as a person by these little gestures. So much charisma!!! I was smitten. The languages spoken during Q&A was a hot mess. Hahah there was Canadian English, Asian Engrish, Chinese, and fluent and non-fluent Korean. Thankfully I could at least understand the Chinese and English/Engrish parts. Tao was being super shy and cute when he spoke in broken Korean. He’s really just an innocent 19-year-old off stage, contrasting with his powerful and fierce stage image. By the time it was for them to go, there was more pushing and shoving. My dress was soaked, and my curled hair fell flat and frizzy, my face flushed, and there were various stains of who-knows-what on my dress. The 4minute and G.Na posters we bought for our fanboy friends were wrinkled, stained, and edges tattered(sorry guys… we tried our best trying to keep them protected) I’m sure that my friend and I, along with many others, came out of the tent looking like we’ve just been through a rough battlefield. Lol But it was SOOOO worth it. Seeing my EXO-M babies in person was the highlight of my day.
We hovered around the tent and stayed for the 4Minute session. There were significantly fewer people in the crowd, and most are fanboys. XD The screams and cheers registered on the lower-pitch scale, which was a nice change since our eardrums were probably bleeding from the early EXO-M session, We had a lot more room and fanboys weren’t as pushy either so we thoroughly enjoyed the event.
Now that the event we came for was over, we had 2 hours to kill. First, i went around asking for iphone chargers because our tickets to the concert were stored on my phone. A nice staff member at the preorder merchandise booth was almost going to help me because he had a charger with him… then his manager came out and stopped everything in action. Grrrr. I asked a bunch of booths, and even sat down at the videogame booth with all the game-playing dudes to ask for a charger… the videogame guys were really nice and tried to text and find friends with chargers… however all efforts led to no avail…. Finally, we went to the non-preorder merchandise booth. I am ashamed to admit that I used the puppy eye and smile approach to get the two staff members to help me charge my phone under the table…. But it was an urgent matter! lol I needed to retrieve my concert tickets and have enough battery life to take pix and vids of the concert… The staff member at the booth hey were super nice and let me charge my phone… and told me not to tell anybody else about this. I am forever grateful… T.T while waiting for my phone to be chared. We decided to go sit at the workshop #1 tent to rest up. Little did we know, there was a YouTube star autograph session going on! We happened to near the front where the line was forming so my friend and I were like what the hell, let’s line up and get some autographs since we didn’t get any from the fansign tent. Lol So even if we didn’t know some of them that well, we got to take pictures with every single one from Ellen Kim to AJ Raphael to Dumbfounded to Jen from From Head to Toe. Jen was super sweet, I love her and her videos! :)
Later we went on over to the main stage where Chad Future was performing. I’ve got to say, it was a pretty good performance! The dancing was on point, Chad and his co-artists were very energetic and had strong stage presences. We were swaying side to side to the music, and just simply enjoying ourselves. However, I noticed that we were one of the few doing so…most people were just standing there without much movement… It was a little awkward considering how much energy was radiating from the stage. I guess people were becoming tired from the day long event.
At this point out feet were killing us so we sat down near the concert venue entrance till concert time…. Amazingness ensues… had so much fun at the concert. Pictures and fan account about the concert coming up in part 2!

TRANSLATION FAN ACCOUNT: ON EXO @ CHINESE MUSIC BILLBOARD AWARDS

Original post by: ericababy@baidu

Translation and rearrangement by: love-exo@tumblr

———————————————————

(t/n: this fan’s bias is Lu Han, so a significant portion is about Lu Han. But all other 11 are mentioned in detail as well. I skipped the part about how she got to sit in front of the EXO boys. Basically she begged around for tickets all day and finally got one for 500yuan, sweet talked some staff members, sneaked behind security guards, and snatched that awesome seat directly in front of EXO that belonged to another artists who left just in time)

When I got to my seat, I saw that underneath Lu Han’s seat, there’s still a bottle of yogurt drink. I pointed to the yogurt drink and laughed with my friend, she indicated that the seat I’m pointing at was where Lu Han sat! I also saw his backpack, I was wondering why his backpack was so casually thrown on the ground, with the zippers open and all…

At the chair that Lu Han sat on. Below the chair is his backpack, on the left of the chair is the yogurt drink bottle that he drank from, and my hand and hat

The moment when the 12 boys started walking over to their seats was magnificent. When Lu Han passed the seat behind me, I whispered out loud “Lu Han!” He didn’t hear me… but Se Hun grabbed Lu Han ge and sat down right there (Se Hun you are my savior, I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart), thus Lu Han sat on the left of the chair right behind me… just like that. My mind went blank, and forgot everything that I wanted to say to him… so I just blurted out “ten years alongside you, forever a Lu Han fan!”  Lu Han smiled and waved at me~~~~~ I died at his gaze at that moment.

Lu Han was super easy-going, basically if you clarify your identify he will look at you with glistening eyes (I can’t find another word to describe this, but he was really glistening, I have yet to see another person with eyes prettier than Lu Han’s). When I wanted to talk to him more, the SM manager came. Suddenly the air got frozen, all the boys became quiet, nobody was chatting anymore. That atmosphere back the  was so serious, I can only say that SM’s management were very strict. Just from this event, I can understand how the boys are afraid of their managers. When the manager came as I was looking at Lu Han, I had to turn back suddenly. My hairband broke apart in the rapid-turning process, so I had to brush my hair and made braids in front of the boys… so embarrassing…

I studied Lu Han, he was too perfect. Especially his eye makeup, so fitting~ His hands were beautiful, long and slender, without much bony protrusions. He wore a golden bracelet that day too, it looked good. Also, he’s face was small, and his bone structures were prominent, like a Euroasian mix. He looked good from all 360 degree angles! He’s even prettier than how he appears on TV. His eyes were especially beautiful… and he was very skinny. He really does like to talk into people’s ears. I bet it’s because he talked so fast, others wouldn’t have understood anyways. I also paid attention to his shoes, they were white, with some dirty markings on the top… it’s the same pair that he wore to Entertainment 100%, I wonder if it’s the same pair that got dirty after he threw them during the game… Then I noticed that my friend was also staring at his shoes, so we looked at each other and laughed, who in their right mind studies people’s shoes?  Then I noticed that Lu Han’s feet retracted a few inches… kk I’m really sorry Lu Han, I didn’t have any other intentions, I just like you too much… 

In my peripheral vision I saw a boy who was slapping his thighs… he turned out to be Kai, he was following the rhythm of the song, but he looked like he was going to stand up and dance… way too cute. I don’t think he looked dark. His skin color was very healthy-appearing. He appeared like how he would in interviews. That day everybody had makeup on, but makeup were simple and refreshing. Kai’s makeup was au natural, his eyes and eyebrows looked very handsome, very masculine. He was pretty tall too, when he walked he was exuberant. When he sat down he moves along with the music.

About Suho… to be honest, leaders in SM company groups all have very hard tasks. My impression of him before was that he was very mature, and could take good care of his members. At that day, he appeared very handsome in person, even though not the type who makes you fall in love immediately at first sight, but type that truly grows on you. He also had a very good body, when he walked he had a handsome posture as well. When he walked he made sure to make way for others, you know immediately that he’s the fatherly type that takes care of others. When others sang on stage he always clapped along. 

When Hu Xia was singing on stage. Baekhyun moved along… he was swaying back and forth with Chanyeol. I turned around to look at Lu Han, he was swaying to the song as well, and singing along, the song was “That Year, The Girl We All Chased After.” Then I started singing this song with my friend, we heard somebody in row behind us laughing, I wonder if they were laughing at us…

By the way, I am very sensitive to perfume. When Lu Han and Sehun came across, there was a faint hint of cologne, but I couldn’t distinguish from whom it came from. To me it smelled like a line from Bvlgari, maybe Aqua Marine… I’m not sure, I just think that it smelled very similar. Maybe fangirls can give them cologne as gifts instead in the future. Just a suggestion…

SM’s body guards were so scary. They hired those body guards for that day. SM managers’ eyes were sharp as well, like detectives. If they saw people with cameras or girls who looked like fans, they wouldn’t even let them in the proximity. Some people who used their phones to take pictures were chased away immediately. After the lights have dimmed, I secretly took the Lu Han bar (from Baidu) sign and gestured to Lu Han about signing the pamphlet. Lu Han took a few glances at his manager, then he secretly waved his hands at me gesturing that he couldn’t do it, he also mouthed “I am sorry.” I didn’t want to create trouble for him, so I quickly hid the pamphlet. 

Lu Han was really kind to the fans. Every time he responded to us he used soft voices, when he made hand gestures he made them quietly, he probably didn’t want us to be discovered by his manager. So kind… I’m so touched… When managers weren’t around, he has never rejected the request for a signature, thus I am very envious of those who ran into Lu Han on the street. Those people are the truly lucky ones, they were the ones who encountered Lu Han without the managers around, getting all kinds of signatures…

In between songs, I couldn’t hear what Lay and Lu Han were talking about (they were speaking very softly), I just heard Lu Han laughing heartily, then Se Hun laughed too. Se Hun why are you laughing, you can’t even understand Chinese, you were probably laughing at Lu Han ge’s low laughing threshold. I couldn’t hold back so I turned around, just in time to see Xiumin looking at those two laughing with an interesting expression. I really want to know what Lay said…

Xiumin sat right behind me. So it was hard to turn around and look at him. Every time I turned around I felt like he was looking at me. I saw Xiumin after he sat down so I couldn’t gauge how tall he was, I could only observe his face and outfit. He was more handsome than he appeared on TV. Honestly speaking, Xiumin’s face shape is really nice, his chin was sharp, skin flawless, his eye shape very unique with a beautiful curve. He had a lot of composure, and he didn’t really participate in the chit-chatting going on simultaneously on both of his sides. He gave off the vibe of an older brother who knows how to handle big events. Lay was constantly talking to Lu Han across from Xiumin, and Sehun just laughed along. As for Xiumin, he just sat there, my back was to him for most of the time so I was judging his movements based on voice. 

My friend used her cellphone to secretly look at Lu Han. He didn’t sit still at all. Sometimes he fixed his hair, sometimes he fixed his collar, sometimes he played with his hands. He was so sensitive to other’s stares, he caught me every single time I turned around… I didn’t get to see any movements… Also, Lu Han was very tall! He was taller than he appeared on TV. Furthermore, since I sat at a lower level than he did, every time I turned around I could see his jaw line… it was too perfect. If he didn’t move and didn’t blink, he could really get mistaken for a doll. I am seriously going crazy right now, I have been an insomniac since! Fangirls when you look at Lu Han in the future be careful because you will die. Now I understand why Japanese fangirls call him little devil… his ability to kill fangirls is too powerful!!! Even though he looked so pretty, Lu Han was still very manly, every single movement was super handsome… except for those moments when he act like an 8-year-old. 

Lu Han and Sehun’s skin-tone  were both very bright. Sehun’s voice sounded like how it was on TV, like a child’s.  Even though he has the presence of a CEO, but his eyes and his smile gave his age away. When he smiled, he looked so cute, immediately breaking the image that the company created for him. His stature was like a CEO’s, so straight. If he were to attend more photoshoots in the future, he didn’t even need to pose, just by sitting there he would look like a model. He wasn’t very sensitive to glances. Everytime I turned around to look at him he didn’t notice. Even when girls in the back called his name he didn’t have a response. Maybe it was because he was shy, even though he was looking at the stage, his mind was blank. Who knows what this boy was thinking about? lol Sehun occasionally chatted with Lu Han. His speech was very slow, one word at a time… he tend to look to the front when he talked. Too bad my Koreans skills were nonexistent, I couldn’t understand what he was saying. Lu Han spoke pretty fast. His Korean was so fluent. He spoke so fast. Sometimes when he was talking to Lay he spoke in Korean as well, maybe it was because he couldn’t switch back to Chinese fast enough, or maybe it was because he was speaking to Xiumin?

About Chanyeol, I really couldn’t see him that well because his seat and mine had some distance in between. But this boy was really cheerful. Maybe it was because of his height, everytime he moves it was obvious and noticeable. He talked to many others who were far away from him, he also chatted with everybody around him. Whenever there was a singer on stage, he always clapped or swayed his head. When Kai slapped his thighs to the rhythm, Chanyeol did the same. When he smiled he gave off a sunny vide, it made people feel cheerful and happier on the inside, he was pretty good at creating a cheerful atmosphere. By the way, his voice isn’t that loud at all, but it resonated far, very magical right? 

About Lay, I got to let my friend who sat right in front of him talk about this part. She kept on turning around and making the “L” sign to Lay, she even made Xiumin laugh. When Lay sat down he also said hi to me while nodding his head, I was caught off guard and just nodded back. DId he think that I was a staff member? Sorry Lay for tricking you. When Lay was brushing his bangs, I saw his forehead. There were a pimple here and there, was it because he hasn’t rested too well in the past few days? He looked so handsome baring his forehead, I really think he would be perfect for a schoolboy role! His features were delicate and pretty. The most attractive part of him is his gaze, so clear and pure, you know immediately from his gaze that he was a well-mannered, well-taught obedient child. His charisma was one of those that is quiet and graceful. The first impression I got from his outer appearance was that his skin tone was very bright, face was small, and was really handsome. When he talked to others he spoke softly. When my friend made hand gestures at him, he always returned her gesture with a gesture, he was the kind type - very friendly and approachable. 

Before I thought Baekhyun was a really cute kid, now in person he was actually quite handsome man. Without the heavy eyeliner, he looked refreshing, an eye-candy for sure. My impression of him before was that he loved to joke around, must be a pretty active kid, but that day after my observations, I found out that he was really quiet. Although he was effective as an initiator for movements, such as waving arms while other artists were singing on stage. Tao was chatting with Baekhyun the entire time. They were chatting with a lot of hand gestures. Baekhyun had a mature and reassuring expression, he wasn’t as mischievous as I had imagined. Perhaps he’s only like this to Tao?

Now about Kris. Because I thought his presence was extremely powerful and intimidating. But after this close-up observation, my conclusion is that he is really approachable too, not at all intimidating! His height is taller than I thought. I am 161 cm, I’m not even at his shoulders. His expressions that day were very limited and he didn’t laugh much. Probably because he felt pressured.

Next is Tao. The impression he gave me was that he was a really innocent and cute boy, an idol who doesn’t appear like an idol. He sat a little far from me so I couldn’t see him as well. He was pretty obedient, just sat there without much movement. That day he looked really tall, also his shoulders looked wide. If he ever catwalks he will look so good. Compared to Lu Han, Sehun, and Lay, Tao was not the skinniest, his face appears like how they did in photos, I think his body had the best proportions. When he sat through performances he was very quiet, I didn’t see him communicate much with anybody, but I saw him saying hi to some fans on the side, think he said a few words to them too…

Now onto D.O., I even took a D.O. fansite paper fan when I was outside. His most noticeable feature was his big eyes, even in person. They were so round, and his gaze so direct, like a high school student’s… haha his presence feels like that of a student, very scholarly and fresh. His face is more handsome than on TV as well. His eyelashes were extremely long. He entered the seating area with a constant smile on his face, I don’t know what he was smiling about, but he seemed really happy. When he sat in his chair he was obedient, I couldn’t hear him say anything, probably because all the voices over there got masked by Kai’s thigh-slapping sound and Chanyeol’s laughter. 

About Chen. My friend even wished him happy birthday, he smiled and thanked her. I didn’t hear him speak Chinese, but I heard him laugh quite frequently. Every time I turned around I could see him laughing. At the event many fans shouted “Happy Birthday” to him, so it was obvious that Chen was in a good mood. Chen in person is even more handsome than he appeared on TV. When he smiled it was heart-warming. He could understand basic Chinese. In front of my row there’s a pretty staff member who kept on turning around and using her iPad to display “Chen, Happy Birthday. Chu~ Heart~” I saw Chen putting his hands together and thanked her and nodded his head. He gave off a refreshing, bright and sunny vibe. 

At the end of the ceremony, Lu Han was throwing paper airplanes. Some fangirl even tripped and fell while she was running to catch it. I wonder if she was hurt. The scene at that time was slightly out of control, everybody was trying to run on stage. Lu Han and Lay also tried to grab the golden confetti. Lu Han’s 8-year-old image was exposed right then. He started hopping upwards to grab confetti, bounciness comparable to Kobe Bryant! Lay also checked Lu Han’s hands to see if he got any confetti. Then SM staff got on stage and shoved all these EXO kids to backstage…  After looking at every single EXO member carefully, every one of them were so handsome! I am truly satisfied for making this meaningful event~

Lay’s Changsha airport fanaccount summary:

1) Lay told fans earlier that they shouldn’t break their bank trying buy him gifts, if they must give something, letters would do. Therefore, this time around, you can see him holding a significantly higher stacks of letters instead of gift bags X-D

2) Lay got held up at customs because he forgot his passport in his mother’s bag. So his mother rushed to the customs desk to give Lay his passport, gave him a hug, and ran back out 

3) After he got his boarding pass, he hazily asked the security guard about where to go for international departure… it was right behind him, and he’s been through this airport many times… lol he’s so cute for being confused all the time

4) Fans were fairly orderly this time around. They conversed with him in Changsha dialect and they were not pushy or loud. Lay was being very polite and warm, he kept on bowing, making hearts, and saying “thank you”

5) Lay’s hilarious cartoon self-portrait was seen in all of the autographs that fans received today.

luhanlu:

@冬菇冬菇冬菇冬 @笑靥Baek

@笑靥Baek:”We said plz take good care of yourself in Korea,if you’ve got something worry on your mind plz tell family,as you see, we have so many fans support you.” Then he nodded seriously. Tao asked us “Why you don’t go to school?” Some fans said today is sunday, some fans said they had graduated, some fans said “Our school open this afternoon.” Tao smiled. It’s really a loving atmosphere today, no push,no crowed, everybody just walked around him and talked with him. It’s great. 

Diving into his bag, Tao took out a fruit candy. A fan asked him for the candy, he laughted.

TRANSLATION: Random stranger encounters Lu Han

T/N: This person wasn’t a fangirl/EXOtic, but she’s super lucky - apparently she ran into Lu Han at a money exchange center and just started chatting:

[——————————————

Today I saw Lu Han, haha, a member of SM’s new boygroup EXO. He’s very cute~~~ I asked him whether he bought his MCM backpack in Korea, and how much he paid. He shyly told me: Yes, about 600000 won (~$530). 

——————————————-

I actually didn’t know that it was him… I’m a little behind in times. Usually Korean male celebrities all like MCM, so I asked him how much would the backpack cost with metal studs add-on all over. He said: hmm, probably a little more expensive~~~ He’s pretty good, has no celebrity attitude, his ID picture is cute/tame too.

———————————————

Question: did you run into him on the street?

Answer: Nah, he was exchanging 550000 won. I didn’t recognize him initially because I was old-fashioned, so we talked naturally like normal people. Afterwards I thought he looked really cute, so I searched online… Oh my god, so that’s him! 

———————————————

haha, I’m not a fangirl. But he has really good skin, very easy on the eyes~

Kris’ renren update on 8/31! LOL Can’t imagine him using such a kawaii emoticon. X-D  it must be because his mother was visiting because he took her out shopping in Myeongdong the next day~!

[Translation] fan account #3: “Just got back to my dorm to come online. I am speechless after seeing my bias today like this. T.T My friend’s fan account is more complete, I won’t discuss it here. I was looking at him from such a close distance. His skin was extremely well, radiating brightness. Voice was very manly, and he was also very gentle. He was accompanying his mother the whole time but he checked out some pants and shoes for himself as well. They easily breezed through many stores~ Then they carried many bags home. Please enjoy this rare family reunion.”

According to various fan accounts on weibo, the fans at Myeongdong today acted decently mature. They all respected Kris and his mother’s privacies and only took pictures from behind. There is only one fan account of a person asking Kris for an autograph. So ya… please don’t worry; I’m sure Kris and his mother enjoyed their precious time together despite him being a big rookie celebrity~:)

120901 Fan account: Lay was also spotted strolling on the street with his grandparents~

According to fan account, before Lay came to train in Korea, he used spend his birthdays eating dinner with his grandparents. Now after debut, he took them out for a walk the first break he got from his busy promo schedule. Such a filial and loving grandchild. :)

[Translation]

Fanaccount #1: “Kris was accompanying his mother shopping. Friends who were there got an autograph for me. Later when I saw him I briefly chatted with him, he said his mother is going back tomorrow. I didn’t have the heart to interrupt him anymore so I stopped following. Right now I feel like I’ve been in a dream.”

Fanaccount #2: “When Kris saw cars coming, he quickly shielded his mama. We didn’t get close to them, we didn’t talk, we just stood in the back and watched quietly.”


OMG look at this stylish mother-son pair… must’ve been quite a sight even for passer-bys who didn’t know EXO… well… they do now! 

TRANSLATION: FANACCOUNT ON EXO-M FLYING TO CHINA 120831

From 李洋少年画舞@baidu [I just want to tell you guys… a girl in my dorm was on EXO-M’s flight!!!! Then… Lu Han’s seat is right next to hers… I just want to say, this girl’s too fuckin’ lucky… because her bias is Lu Han… I just want to say ***
She also saw Lay, Tao and manager oppar]


So lucky indeed T.T A seat adjacent to Lu Han’s?!?! I’d die happy if I were just on the same plane… 


[TRANSLATION][FAN ACCOUNT] LAY

Translated from vicky温dj@weibo:

[What a crazy event, I got so dizzy from all those loud screams! I can’t believe I forgot to gave him the letter too. T.T Lay is really funny - I already moved onto Chen when he stuck his head over and said “Thank you for coming every single time.” 

I forgot all the things that I was going to say to him. So I just told him to remember to come visit his Baidu bar sometimes, he said he checks it out often.

Before he left the stage, he bowed in every single direction. He was still there bowing when others left, he was the last one to leave]

Lay signed “dear/darling vicky.” omg such a lucky fan to get chosen every single time, he must know her face now~

[TRANSLATION][FAN ACCOUNT] TAO

At Incheon airport: 

[EXO’s body guard oppa is so comedic, when EXO were walking towards the exit, he blocked all the fans behind him by grabbing onto the left and right door panel with open arms, gesturing Kris, Chan Yeol and others to leave first, but Tao and Kai got left behind and stuck in the fan crowd, I clearly remembered Tao saying to body guard “you blocked us too…”]  source: 允许浩色@weibo


hahhaha it’s so funny how unintentionally straight-forward Tao is.  X-D

[TRANSLATION][FAN ACCOUNT] LU HAN

Airport: [I extended out my hand with the iphone case and called for Lu Han. Lu Han first saw it, he bowed to me, implying that he cannot accept. I told him that it’s just a phone case, so he reached out his hand to accept… but by then we have already arrived at the exit, so we got squeezed by the door. I dropped the gift and the security held me back, I thought then “crap, my gift would never reach Lu Han now…” but our before-dawn Lu Han(see my post on EXO-M name meaning) bent own and pick it up!!! My broken dream suddenly became complete.]   source: 孩儿君@weibo


Company: [Lu oppa and Wu emperor came out of the company building with two huge suitcases. Lu Han stood behind the car and kept on pushing these big suitcases trying to fit them in, he was loudly saying “I can do this, I can do this” at the same time. So adorable >.<” But in the end he still didn’t manage to stuff them in…]  source: Shivaun_V@weibo

DEEPLY MOVED BY LAY! Part 4 (fan accounts)

»Part 1« »Part 2« »Part 3« »Part 5«

Part 4 is translation of a collection of various weibo updates:

Trainee days:

[My sister is a teacher at Lay’s high school, so I had him teach guitar. My brother-in-law said every time Lay came back to China to visit, he always bowed politely to everyone, he has very good manners.]

===================

Pre-debut:

3/3:

[12:53am: Kai and Se Hun just left the company building. Lay when are you going to come out?]

[1:09am: Now Lu Han, Kris, Chan Yeol and Xiu Min have left the company building, Lay how long are you going to practice in there before you decide to go home? Don’t be so hard on yourself, my heart is breaking]

[2:12am: After so much anticipation, our Lay finally came out. Even though he was very tired, he still responded to everyone’s greetings. I think Lay needs to go back and rest]

Another day:

[At first fan XX didn’t recognize Lay, so she asked him a couple of times “are you Yixing?” Lay smiled and nodded, being very polite. Lay was very friendly and chatted with XX, when he found out that she lived very far from the company, he volunteered to send her off on taxi.]

[The second time XX met Lay and Lu Han, Lay recognized XX. Lu Han told Lay to focus on chatting with fan, and then walked off by himself. XX asked Lu Han “You don’t need to wait for Yixing?” Lu Han looked like he suddenly realized that he had to wait for Lay to walk together. Then Lay grabbed Lu Han and introduced him to fans “This, is my very good friend”

===================

Post-debut:

[Today there were about 20 fans sending them off at the airport. There were 3 managers, the youngest one was very hostile. He kept on pushing fans and telling them to stop taking pictures. A fan was simply following EXO when she almost got hit by the young manager who took Tao’s stick. When the stick almost landed, Lay suddenly turned around and quickly said “be careful!” I’m really moved…]

[…at the airport escalator, they went up, we got held up by security at the bottom. Kris and Lay didn’t try to hurry to go up, they kept on turning around and waving to us. I got so hypnotized by Lay’s gentle manners that I can’t help myself anymore. In my past 20 years of life, no man has ever smiled at me that gently! Your gentleness, how am I supposed to get a boyfriend in the future? Oppa!!! I just kept screaming “Yixing Yixing Yixing oppa fighting…” Later when I thought about Lay’s gentle gaze, my legs still felt weak.]

[Ah! ah! ah! Lay helped me get up! The airport scene was really chaotic! We were on the side but then got pushed to the front! Then a friend and I both fell! Lay was the one who helped me up!]

[Lay heard me screaming “Lay smile for us!” Then he smiled! hahaha!]

This is from a male fan […I’m a guy so I didn’t have that many feelings, after watching all the teasers, I just thought that Lay danced very well. A cool person. But that wasn’t enough for me to become a fanboy. I just silently enjoyed EXO’s music… … … The moment when I really became Lay’s fanboy was after I watched the EXO Showcase. I decided to become a fan of Zhang Yixing, a male idol who was younger than me. To be honest, I don’t know why. Was it because of his dancing? His vocals? or his dimples? I’m not sure. I just know that I became a fan of an idol who carefully answered questions, who didn’t look up too often, who diligently bowed to fans. I don’t know him too well yet, but I know he is a person who has an ambitious dream and who has talent and potential…]

okay, that’s all for now! Hope you guys enjoyed reading it… I was definitely moved, especially by those pre-debut fan accounts by Lay’s baidu forum admins in part 1 and part 3. T.T *kleenex please*

I’ll leave you with some gifs of the gentle healing unicorn~
