I’m here^_^
Now, we’ve had more recent activity from Lay that cements his position with EXO.
Lay mentioned both Chanyeol and Sehun in a recent interview. He said that he and Chanyeol keep in touch the most.
I keep in touch with Chanyeol the most. Although we haven’t met, we often contact each other through SNS. He contacted me when he came to China to meet me. When I go to Korea, I would call him and when I release a song, he would send me his impression about the song. Chanyeol is very good at singing and also likes producing songs. I went to see Sehun once before he went to the army, and even though he’s younger than me, he seemed very mature at that time, that he seemed to have been around longer than I am. [laughs]

Yet, some couldn’t get past Lay’s current hairstyle. Lay’s hair is dyed pink but also styled in multiple small braids.
i’m happy to see them interacting always since it’s so rare but someone needs to yænk the braids out lay’s hair,,, those little faux twists were already pushing it

Many fans called out Lay for this hairstyle, as it is considered an appropriation of Black culture. They wish that Lay could be educated on the matter and refrain from hairstyles that don’t suit him.
guys can we mass email @lay_studio or whoever it is, to educate yixing on his hair because please like wtf

braids look like it came with the hat

The type of braiding hairstyle Lay is wearing was invented by Black people, though. Chinese braids look way different from this. https://t.co/JeSR3OmDS7 pic.twitter.com/1WQgh62ZWa
