In spite of his aspirations, he has shared multiple times that he loves his "brothers" and that he'll "always be there when they need me." After all these years of being an inactive member of the supergroup, EXO members still show support to his endeavors and vice versa. His latest comeback album "Honey" has been added to the list of proofs.
Shortly after he unveiled the sweet yet sleek "Honey" music video, his fellow members Baekhyun and Chanyeol posted an excerpt of the video on their respective Instagram pages while Sehun wrote a comment on Lay's post on the photo-sharing app.
Sehun's comment on his Lay hyung's post said, "I like it, I like it."
Baekhyun, on the other hand, wrote in his caption, "Lay-Honey," and included the hashtags "Yixing Right Here," "Lay Sang It," and "Honey." Lay didn't let the day pass without reciprocating his brother's post about his work by thanking him and calling him "my baby."
In Chanyeol's post, Lay, of course, also thanked the supergroup's main rapper and told him, "Yoyoyo! Thank you, Chanyeol-ah! [emoji]"
As of writing, "Honey" has already amassed 3.7 million views on Youtube.
Lay's new EP "Honey" has 4 tracks, namely "Amusement Park," "Bad," and "Honey" in English and Chinese versions. Prior to its release, the album instantly sold 1.87 million units on QQ Music, China's largest music site, breaking nine certifications and acquiring the Hall of Fame's Gold Diamond Certification, all within three minutes!
Indeed, Lay is breaking records on his own, given that the tickets for his upcoming solo concerts "Grand Line" sold out in less than a minute - 8 seconds in Shanghai stop, whilst 25 seconds in Nanjing. In more updated news, tickets for the Chongqing stop got sold out in 3 minutes and 26 seconds.
Meanwhile, this month of July, dubbed by fans as the "EXO Month," is expected to be "wild." Not only that a solo, a sub-unit, and collabs are about to take place this month, multiple concert schedules also await the fans who have been clamoring for EXO's comeback during the seven-month drought.
Baekhyun is about to bless us all with his impeccable vocals on July 10 for his solo debut and release of his mini-album "City Lights." Chanyeol and Sehun will launch as the supergroup's new sub-unit, called EXO-SC, and will unveil their album "What A Life" on July 22. D.O., who has already entered the military training camp, released his solo Station track "That's Okay" to console his fans who lament over his decision to enlist early.
Lay's "Grandline" concert tour will transpire at Nanjing, Beijing, Chongqing, and Shanghai, and will kickstart on July 6. Chen's collaboration with singer Ailee on the latter's track "LOVE" came out today and instantly received a lot of love.
On July 19 forward, the longed-for EXO Planet #5: EXplOration will finally commence in Seoul. Dates of its Hong Kong stop have also been announced.
