PART 2 - Taiwan ‘Fans’ Magazine - EXO-M


LAY
Birthday: 1991/10/7 (20 years old)
Specialties: Dance, piano, guitar
Experience: 2008 SM Casting System

The expert in creating and cooking
Although EXO-M’s member Lay debuted in an idol group, his expectations for himself are not only to sing the songs well and dance the choreography well, towards the music composition aspect he has a lot of interest, he even expects that in the future he can become like Super Junior-M’s Henry, become an entertainer with musical artistic talent. Normally Lay will take advantage of free time to practice composing, other than creating music, Lay also likes to cook, he is the representative of Mr. Nice Guy in EXO-M. Because he is a big expert in cooking, even Lu Han could not resist praising the great flavor of the cucumber scrambled eggs that Lay makes! Aiyo~it looks like Lay captured Lu Han’s appetite and also captured his heart! (Cha~)

Wherever they go the fans chase their cars
This time’s short trip in Taiwan, right after EXO-M finished their Tainan performance, the next day right in the early morning they were driving from Tainan to the north, starting a day and a half of very intense promotions. The thing that was hardest to forget for Lay and the other members was, everywhere they went there was a large group of fans following them in cars, even at the front of the next stop’s hotel and lobby, they had already arrived earlier, quietly waiting for them to arrive. Aside from that, the considerate Taiwanese fans hope for their idols to sample more of Taiwan’s flavors, so they prepared many snacks, towards the fans supporting and cheering them on so considerately, EXO-M expressed great happiness in their hearts and also thanked the fans a lot for doing all of it!


LU HAN
Birthday: 1990/04/20 (22 years old)
Specialities: singing, dancing, football, Rubik’s cube
Experience: 2010 S.M. Casting System

A lively personality, loves playing football
LU HAN, the one with the most delicate outward appearance in EXO-M, the most signature characteristic is those rounded big eyes! Even though his outward appearance is very graceful, but really he’s definitely not a delicate boy, the him who claims that his appearance and his personality are very different, normally likes exercising the most, especially once he’s available he’ll try to find the manager and member XIU MIN to play football together! Within the group, LU HAN counts as a member with quite a lively personality, even if announcements of his schedule are very intense, he actually looks very energetic, his mood always seems excited, or maybe it’s because he has expressive eyes naturally, that he looks like he has a lot of energy all the time!

Particularly admires Eunhyuk-senior
Saying that LU HAN’s a handsome type of idol, is definitely well deserved, when asking him if he would especially take good care of his skin normally, he confessed that he would go to dermatologists for facials, so handsome men aren’t just born that way, but it’s also acquired through taking good care, maintaining it is also quite important okay! (Girls who wish to appear beautiful, quickly write this point down in your notebooks, you can’t be lazier than boys~) LU HAN not only has a lively personality, he also really loves making nicknames for others, like when he helped XIU MIN, who has a very good relationship with him, make a “Steamed Buns” nickname (The editor is covering his face and giggling), taking a good look at XIU MIN, he actually does pretty much look like one! When bringing up the senior he admires the most, LU HAN who’s good at dancing expressed… “I admire Eunhyuk-senior the most, because he’s really good at dancing, I have to learn well from him!”



TAO
Birthday: 1993/5/2 (19 years old)
Specialties: Wushu
Experience: 2010 SM Casting System

Donghae suddenly hugged me
In SMTOWN there have been a lot of big stars, EXO-M who has just debuted, which sunbae do you have the biggest impression of? Tao revealed an unknown little secret! Tao said: “I respect Super Junior’s Donghae sunbae the most because Donghae sunbae particularly cheers me on, letting me be charged full of strength! One time at one of our performances, Donghae sunbae suddenly hugged me from behind, at the time I was really surprised, but when I turned and saw it was Donghae sunbae, I immediately felt relieved.” This piece is still very interesting, but the fans who know the Super Junior members’ personalities well probably know that they originally really liked to hug a lot, using their limbs to show friendship.

There are differences between males and females calling an older brother
Since Tao is a Chinese member, when he first went to Korea, he previously caused many funny jokes because he was entering a foreign country, he said: “When I first got to Korea to be a trainee, I ran into Xiumin-gege in the practice room, because at the time my Korean was not good, only remembering that when I watched Korean dramas I often heard the actors in the dramas say gege as oppa, so I called Xiumin-gege oppa, only later on did I find out that oppa is actually only used by girls to address boys.” Tao and Xiumin’s relationship is quite good, not only do they learn Chinese and Korean from each other in private, they will even practice taekwondo, wushu, and nunchucks together, Lu Han exposed: “There are often sounds of being beaten badly coming from their room, we don’t know what they’re doing?” Tao explained: “We’re stretching to warm up, Xiumin will only yell when it hurts too much.”


XIU MIN
Birthday: 1990/3/26 (22 years old)
Specialties: Singing, taekwondo, fencing, dance
Experience: 2008 SM Everysing Contest

Claiming the childish nickname ‘Baozi’
Xiumin who was given the cute nickname ‘Baozi’ by his member Lu Han, his appearance is quite immature, even he himself says without timidity that he is EXO-M’s ‘Childish man’. Coming to Taiwan to perform, this promotion trip, he generously admitted that his greatest interest was towards Taiwan’s great food, and the thing he wanted to eat most was xiaolongbao! Ah~the image of Baozi eating xiaolongbao is really very interesting, it seems like Xiumin is very satisfied with the nickname Lu Han helped to give him! In SMTOWN, Xiumin respects Super Junior’s leader Leeteuk the most, he said: “Leeteuk sunbae, whether he’s on stage or not, is very hard-working, a very deserving person for me to learn from.

The pronunciation of the fourth tone in Chinese is the hardest
Xiumin and Chen are EXO-M’s Korean members, since the number of Chinese members in the group is greater than the number of Korean members, Xiaobian is quite curious as to what language they use to communicate in private? Apparently, they need to learn both Chinese and Korean, so when communicating they use both half and half. But speaking of the hard points of learning Chinese, Xiumin expressed his personal feelings, saying: “The time that I’ve been learning Chinese is not long, pronouncing the fourth tone of Chinese is the hardest, but over the 5 months that we have debuted, living with the members every day, working, we also slowly learn a lot of Chinese words.”
