NPSS Weibo Q&A (20240831) Part 9

This is a Q&A session held on Weibo. People will tag their questions with the hashtag #南派三叔藏海花在线答疑# (#NPSS Zang Hai Hua Online Q&A#) and NPSS will look through the tag to pick some to answer. The event started at 1500 hours on 2024 August 31st.

Folder with screenshots and big compilation google doc is here. Part 1 is here. Part 2 is here. Part 3 is here. Part 4 is here. Part 5 is here. Part 6 is here. Part 7 is here. Part 8 is here.

1301

Q: Shu, what’s the flower language for the Tibetan Sea Flower? A: The distance of a step. (T/N: this is a proverb meaning something that is very close either in distance or as in close to success.)

1302

Q: If the black spot’s tunnels can go from Inner Mongolia to Mount Kunlun, doesn’t that mean that it’s a good candidate for making train tracks? Could it be that the few key locations have tunnels connecting them? When Xiaoge disappeared during the West Queen, did he go somewhere tens of kilometers away?

A: Uh… That’s not my profession. 

1303

Q: Sanshu, Sanshu, I really need to know this. When Hei Xiazi and Xie Yuchen finish their mission and go back to their hotel at night, would they chat and drink wine to unwind?

A: On the way, Hei Xiazi would suggest eating at all the street food stalls but would be rejected every time. In the end, the two of them would buy some bread and make do with sitting by the city’s river.

1304

Q: Why does the Zhangs' names always have to do with seafood? Then why isn’t there a Zhang Cuyu? (T/N: Zhang Vinegar Fish.)

A: Now there is. It’s you.

1304

Q: Does Wu Xie like to eat Chinese bayberries? Would he go up to the hills to harvest bayberry during summer while sightseeing the spring in the hills and then make bayberry wine?

A: He likes them but worries that there’s bugs [inside them].

1304

Q:Sanshu, Sanshu, can you describe Hei Xiazi and Xie Yuchen’s story in Iceland in three characters? A: Insanely crazy. (T/N: this was four characters in chinese.)

1305

Q: I would like to know how Sanshu picks the questions to answer. Do you just scroll and pick whichever that you like?

A: [I pick] the ones that I have answers for at first glance. I won’t answer those that require me to think for half a day.

1305

Q: Lei, why do you say that you want to lose weight every year? But why are you still a little fatty every year? Did you say that you’ll do Pilates? Didn’t you say that you want to act as Wu Xie? How will this work if you lack determination?

A: I walked ten thousand steps at 5am yesterday.

1307

Q: What is Hei Xiazi better at, the violin or the erhu?

A: Violin, but musical instruments are interconnected.

1311

Q: Shu, will we see Zhang Yixing act as Eryue Hong again in this lifetime? The prettiest Honghong.

A: I don’t know. Leave it to fate. I’m very chill. (T/N: the term he used here “佛“ is an internet slang meaning to be unconcerned, let things be like Buddha would. )

1312

#NPSS Zang Hai Hua Online Q&A# A lot of people wanted to know how the paper dolls move around. You’ll understand it after looking at this explanation picture about the Kumuli Snake Disaster from Zang Hai Hua.

1317

Q: Is it a leader-follower relationship between the big paper doll and the small paper doll? Then why did Wu Xie see the big paper doll eating the small paper doll?

A: Snakes eating snakes.

1319

Q: I can't stop thinking about this: When Wu Xie and the gang are on the road of adventure for so long, would their hair get oily? How do they deal with this? Would they bring shampoo and wash up now and then? A: What’s wrong with Xie oil? Is Xie-oil inauspicious? (T/N: the comments say that there’s a pun here, but I can’t figure out what’s the pun.)

1323

Q: Does Zang Hai Hua’s Zhang Qiling’s muscular body fit your imagination? A: It’s not bad.

1326

Q: Sanshu, Sanshu, when there’s nothing to do around Yucun, would Wu Xie feel like his current life is like a dream?

A: This feeling is very nuanced. A dream is too shallow of a description.

just one update for today! i've gotten a bit lazy with translating today because there are a few long ones in a row... wah wah wah whine whine.

[holdingforexo]

Hello. I have a question and hope it's not too controversial. If it is, you can ignore this. Twitter never talks about the former members, but I was going through your blog and saw you actually found EXO through Tao. Do you still stan him? I'm a relatively new EXOL so I don't know too much about how it all went down. Is there bad blood? Like, does EXO still keep in touch with them? I'm most curious about Lay since he was in EXO-M with them and also in China now. I wonder if they ever talk.

I think this came weeks ago... I haven’t gotten around to replying, not because I think it’s a controversial topic, but because it’s one that requires some time to think through and type out. This is going to be lengthy, but hopefully, I address all that you’re curious about :)

Disclaimer: I’m only going to mention Luhan and Zitao. The other one does not exist.

I think it’s normal for the fandom to not talk about the former members... at least, in relation to EXO, anyways. I know some people who still follow and support the former members, but they do so separately, as individual artists outside of EXO. I see nothing wrong with that. I do it, too, actually.

I didn’t actually stan Zitao. Flashback to 2018—I was watching Negotiator, which Zitao was the male lead. I found his character enduring, so naturally, I looked up the actor. Found out Zitao started in Kpop, which led me to EXO, and I’ve been in this “We are one! EXO saranghaja!” nonsense ever since. Of course, with my luck, it was around the time Minseok enlisted.

I don’t stan Luhan either. But I like his music, so I pay attention to his discography. And because of that, I’m also somewhat updated on his other projects. I don’t follow Zitao’s projects, but both he and Luhan are doing great for themselves. They each have over 60 million followers on Weibo, and are considered top of their field. They’ve also stayed close friends since their EXO days. They’ve collaborated on music. They hang out together. Luhan is currently on his China tour, and Zitao was at one of the shows recently. They’re doing good.

As for their relationship with EXO—truthfully, I think it’s nonexistent. I obviously wasn’t around during both of their exits, but from what I gathered, everyone knew they were leaving. It wasn’t sudden, and I’m hopeful conversations were had among the members. But, while there might not be bad blood, I think it happened so early in their careers and lives, maintaining relationships afterward probably didn’t happen. It’s like when you’re in high school... those years were great, but keeping those friends in your life gets harder after you graduate. It probably also didn’t help much if SMent was actively prohibiting communication. I’m not saying they did, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

The only public interaction I remember was Luhan liking Minseok’s IG post before he enlisted. Luhan still follows five of them on IG, and Yixing follows him back. Zitao doesn’t follow any of the EXO members, and none of them follow him.

Yixing has been true and loyal to EXO. He talks about EXO normally and casually and have always referred to them as his brothers. But I don’t remember him ever mentioning the former members. It’s actually quite funny because the three of them (Yixing, Luhan, and Zitao) are arguably three of the most well-established young singers in China, but there’s a known awkwardness whenever Yixing is at the same function as the other two. A couple years back, Yixing and Luhan were on the same stage for an event, and Yixing avoided Luhan’s eyesight the entire time. I think I’ve seen Yixing and Luhan interact in public all of two times—both very casual, short, awkward greetings.

For the record, I do not think there are any negative feelings between Yixing, Luhan, and Zitao. I think Luhan and Zitao grew closer over their similar experiences, while Yixing chose EXO. I’m sure no one regrets their decisions, it’s just the way it is. I also don’t think being in the same country impacts or affects their relationships. Yixing and the rest of EXO aren’t in the same country, but Yixing consistently talks about keeping in touch with them despite the distance. At the end of the day, I think it’s the effort you put into maintaining the relationships you choose to keep in your life.

Watched behind the scenes for Kun & Xiaojun at Weibo music awards 2023

I'm still kind of :< about Renle not being able to promote the same way that WayV does. SM has been letting Renle promote in China but in a different capacity. Xiaokun got a behind the scenes video for weibo music awards but Renle didn't even though they were at the same event, on the stage at the same time. My interpretation is that Renle are part of Dream which is still considered a kpop group, and so Renle are considered kpop idols. WayV is part kpop group, part cpop group, part global pop group. And because of that, they're "allowed" to be associated with Chinese entertainment.

Dejun said he liked matcha one time and from then on the manager always ordered matcha for him, sigh.

Hong Kong style food today? I can't really see what's in the containers though.

Dejun said that Renjun was lookin sexy <3 but he hadn't changed yet. So Dejun was commenting that he was looking sexy in an outfit we don't get to see him in lol.

Kun was most excited about seeing JJ Lin and he kept adjusting how to address him.

Qian Kun and Xiaojun were also excited about seeing Zhang Jie and Zhang Yixing gege and Jia'er ge T_T

Kun is wearing a typical suit but Xiaojun has a band around his torso

Renle are here. They are dressed in white <3

Xiaojun is friends with Bai Jugang and said hi to him because they hadn't met for 7 years

The boys

i don’t know enough about exo politics so why do you hate lay?? 🧐

nothing to do with exo really i used to be a yixing fan if u scroll back to 2017-2019 i was fully a zyx blog he was the one who got me halfway into kpop and at the end it was a combination of his politics around hk protests (basically every other c-ent celebrity was under pressure to take a stand on the issue and literally had a template weibo post but i think zyx was one of the only ones who sincerely believed in the message he didnt even need the template) and also i was just getting bored of him and now everything he does is INCREDIBLY cringe to me from his music to his acting career to his "work hard work harder work until u die" shtick and being an airhead is cute in ur 20s but he just looks dumb now. in his big age of 30 something. i think he is so lame and his art sucks basically

SHUT UUUUPPPPP sm still has yixing's profile on their site but only in the ACTOR section????

[ID:

Image 1: Pop-up profile of LAY from SMTOWN's website on mobile. The image used is one of the promotional picture from EAST era. Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and Weibo icons displayed under the name.

Image 2: LAY's profile page on SMTOWN under the "Actor" category. The same picture as before is displayed, with his birth date and debut displayed between his name and social media icons. A section title "Discography" is at the very bottom of the screenshot page.

/ID]

the discog's only up to EAST so that tracks at least with him still being under SM at the time of release and whatnot but HE'S LEGIT NOWHERE TO BE FOUND ON THE MUSICIAN SECTION????? he's not with exo nor is he listed as a soloist even though sm practically put every soloists and sub-units on the musician page like a filler like what the fuck is this.

His Crazy Dance

I have learned that since Yixing was so young, he was already very talented. His dance moves were already exemplary. At the age of 17, he chose the path of being an idol. He trained for four years to make his debut.

As a fan, I have admired him so much for the hard work he gave during his trainee days. He was called the "god of all trainees" (keyword: sandbags). He practices every day, even until today. He doesn't know how to relax. As for him, relax means to practice, to make music, and to study.

The reason I like his dancing so much is that, as I see it, he danced with passion. He is not dancing for the sake of dancing. He dances to the music, every beat of it. He feels the music, eternalizes it, and executes it in his body. All parts of his body are moving very cleanly. (I am not a professional, so I am just trying to explain his dancing the way I see it.)

His moves is not more on K-pop, even if he is dancing to K-pop music.

He learns all types of dancing. He continues to learn even if he is already so good. He believes that there's still so much to learn. (He is very humble)

When you look at his moves, you might say that the steps are very easy. "Oh, I can do that." But when you try to dance, it will be very difficult. You cannot execute it the way he does. And why is that? My theory is that when he dances, he is so flawless and natural that you CANNOT see or feel that he is having a hard time doing the difficult steps. It is so easy on him. Unlike other dancers, in order for them to execute the difficult steps properly, they exert more effort, and it will be shown in their dance, so as a viewer, we also feel the difficulty of the steps.

He loves Krump and I am a fan of krumping.

I recommend for you to check link below. You will be able to see Zhang Yixing's Dance Level. (May skip and go directly to his dance performances)

I like 6rystalis analysis of Yixing's dance. You may check her twitter and follow her. She is good at explaining why Yixing's dance is so much different from the other dancers.

240831 yixing studio weibo update 🌟 from his august schedule

[aerisosweet]

[180219 Weibo] Yixing: hold mom's hand, go everywhere (together)

then his mom reposts the update which then has yixing’s studio also reposting saying: You held my hand til I grew up, I accompany you til you grow old.

[babyxxingmi]

Yixing: Are you tired after running around in my mind for so many days? ~Miss you Babe~

Me: *entering phase - "SWEET DEATH"*

Me: how dARE WHAT A FLIRT IM-

Also me: Hes so cute wtf i think my heart exploded uwu confetti everywhere

[metomomo]

Anyways Lay/ Yixing officially left SM but for everyone who didn’t see the long Weibo statements the gist is that as of right now he has not left EXO only SM, but he’s very grateful to SM and they part on extremely good terms. From the statement it seems like he left SM but is planning a joint business venture with SM in China. It says “future projects I will explore with SM” so it’s very likely he’s planning something alongside SM but as another CEO not a signed artist.
