  1. I don't mean in the sense that they dont' care ( I dont think they do by and large) I mean...well you hear "horror" stories of workers that get terminally ill and forced to resign...if say, Kris' health concern is true...it's just a frightening thought to me that SM COULD (not that they are) push someone out in such a way simply because they deem that person too much money vs the amount they bring in. Again, not saying SM does that or anything, it was just an odd thought as I read through all the things you had under the spoiler tags.
  2. The only reason I could think of is that as a child actor they would think/feel he has other connections in China and would maybe have an easier transition of it? Idk. That or they don't think he'd put up with a companies bs, but he strikes me as rather loyal/devoted to a company, so i cant really say why he's the first thought.
  3. Creepy/disturbing thought.....what entertainment compnay will keep an employee with a serious medical issue if they won't/cant promote due to prolonged treatment? Especially if it's one that may continually reappear? Now, NOTHING is proved or disproven, and I'm not saying Kris does have a health issue or not....but if he does...kinda scary to think he'd be pushed to quit, no? lol. But this is a bit of a conspiracy reach...but it is food for thought...how does a company like this work when an entertainer gets so sick they can't guarantee a good work schedule?
  4. Has anyone ever considered the fact that maybe, just MAYBE someone in EXO even counciled Kris on it? I mean, this is a reach, but I can't keep a secret to save my life. Especially if what I know/am trying to decide, could effect the people I work with. I get physically ill if I get too stressed out...So i'm kinda curious.....is it possible Kris may have told someone about his hardships? Maybe not that he wanted to file a lawsuit/quit, but that he told someone he was close to about his issues and they could have given him there two cents on the issue...Like if he ever told Luhan (because i think it's bs that NO ONE knew) that he was having doubts (and Luhan doesn't strike me as being super warm and "ooh your poor feelings...he seems very matter of fact to me) so Luhan may/could have tried counciling him (without knowing the lawsuit idea)? Wow...re-reading my post I am taking quite the unproven reach here...but it's just a thought. Of course there is no proof and im' not delusional, it was just an honest curiosity.
  5. lol, i like his acting too, I just think the first two eps Yoochun starts in are shaky, not acting wise per se, but in how he acts as the character, like he's still trying to figure out how someone of the mindset he's portraying would behave if that makes sense. By ep 2 and on levels out with the slight experimenting imo. But back to Kris, if it's true I will watch to support him regardless....if i can get through Yunho, I feel i can take on any actor thrown at me.
  6. I think he'd just be seen as the Kristen stewart of acting (lots of haters, but lots of supporters too). As for his acting....well, assuming he's put with experienced people, I think no matter what he's in, it could be watch/bearable and in time he'd learn more. Take Yoochun, he's a good actor, but he's shaky on the first ep or two as he learns his new role more and then he's awesome the rest of the way through. It could be like that? Each time he starts he'll be shaky, but eventually he'll find his stride so he won't be as shaky for long. Still, nothing's confirmed, so until Kris says it outright, the company does or i see pictures of the film site, i'm not getting really excited about this tbh.
  7. Yes, thunder was a gift...and I was slightly appeased, but now my inner fan girl realizes the bar was raised and demands more of Tao .
  8. And this is why SM irks me, I know it isn't just them, BUT to hone in on the most popular/better singers alone and give the rest of them such short hard to pick out lines, you're cheating everyone's chance at growth. I've heard him sing bits and parts here or there. He never sounded bad to me, but oh dear. LORD, GIve the guy more lines!! Kinda makes me wonder...if the rest of exo was given a chance, how much better could they sound?
  9. For Chanyeol, I would say his on screen persona isn't fake so much as manufactured? He knows what to sell and how to sell himself. I don't hate or despise him or anything of the sort, but I feel that he is career oriented and knows the key to success is to be likeable...and he is very good at making himself come off that way. He knows how to play the game . I get what you're saying though, he certainly comes off as a major try hard at times. As for Suho, I feel like he was never close or buddy buddy with Kris...looking at their interactions actions, especially when K was around as well, he did get a bit ignored, his jokes were never paid attention to...now I dont know if that was for camera purposes and trying to play up Kris...but there were times he seemed perturbed at being so quickly brushed aside. I think he may have felt competition from Kris that led to, not jealousy exactly, but bitterness? I've mentioned in other posts that I think Suho became more relaxed when he was made the "one" leader of Exo as a whole...I think Suho and Kris were mama and papa for the camera, but behind the scenes, more of colleagues. Which is fine, but when Kris filed the suit, Suho felt riled again which led to his speaking out...Suho seems...a bit insecure to me at times. He wanted to be a good leader, he wanted to be acknowledged (as everyone does), but Kris has/had a way of drawing people in without necessarily having to try...which I think, when added to how K treats him as a brush off leader anyways, made him feel more competition with Kris...intended or not (not bashing him, just my opinion.)
  10. Sorry, but i'm not sorry...I'm loving the appearance of Lay's arms XD and his swaggin' style (Yes swaggin. It's a verb now) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtyRU9xnh5c .....................I'm still not sorry
  11. Kinda hope that's what he means/all it means, because no one is a substitute for Kris. One member doesn't replace another. Sorry. Not equal. Of course he could take the raps, I expect that to happen even, but I'd like to see what more accurate translations say.
  12. I kinda wish they wouldn't have cut so much...at least show another scene of him running XD....OH! Question while we're talking about cuts. In Showtime, the episode where they were working out with Tao's teacher...it began as Suho and Chanyeol holding him initially I thought, then switched to Tao being the one. That cut was an obvious one, but I'm kinda curious as to why lol. Just something random.
  13. A possible hidden meaning behind that translation: Because I did it and got away with it, I know I can get away with anything today XD. Baekhyun is slowly inching his way up my bias ladder. He should consider updating his stuff at Tao's level, oh the things that could be revealed! haha.
  14. Oh yes they are, they script the events (which is common practice) and try to script most of the enviornment. ..it's a very controlled experiment lol. I don't know if he was faking it all though. Basketball, things involving speed are his strengths and they were doing more with physical prowess. I think he knew to do push ups well, but at the basketball practices I've gone too, they don't make you do the same sort of exercises the martial arts instructor was asking for. As for personality match ups, I'm not too sure...maybe less to do with what it was and more to do with who was around? Idk.
  15. Nothing too mean of course, you can be a nice person and keep a sense of yourself while playing the business game to be fair. I don't think lay's a two faced git or anything, just very shrewd and understanding of the way the game is played in the industry. Hell, I wouldn't be shocked if he's already run through possible scenario's and questions and what his answer would be (though SM may already be trying to do that anyway lol). Personally I think Kai just doesn't care for drama. Kris has an eternal bitch face, but Kai and Kyungsoo...you can read easily when they peace out, and Kai doesn't seem the type to tolerate drama. Especially personal drama dragged into a work place. He seems very good at separating the two...at least that's my take on him.
  16. They may though. What was it? Variety Big Brother with Suju M? Host there was all about Henry and Mi...The MC at HC honed in on Lay for being a child star and the other china line guys...another MC when she THOUGHT no one understood chinese pretty much attempted a horrifically rude joke "doesn't matter how you cheer, they can't understand you" (in the "happy" chipper tone so you don't know if it's an insult to you or not way >>) only for Kris to politely put correct her....my point: Chinese MC's don't often seem to hold back. They may not flat out say "So what do you think of kris leaving?" But they may make a jab at it at some point....at least i wouldn't put it past them.
  17. Oh yes it will! In China, he seems to never shut up! He threw Kris under the bus before, but that was just for fun/to be funny. This time around...I mentioned on the Lay thread...he's not stupid! He plays up the ditzy spacey vibe, but he's been in the business a long time, he's an observer, he listens well, he knows when to hold his tongue and when to let loose...so if they give him a reason to speak, I'm curious to know how he'll work it. I feel like if there's someone in Exo you should never underestimate: it's Lay. People find DO scary/intimidating, but he's outwardly so. Lay lulls you into thinking he's harmless. I'm not saying Lay is a bad/horrid person, but he knows what his image is and how to be shrewd. That being said...I don't think (want to believe) he'd throw Kris wholly under the bus just to try to ruin him. He may draw a line in the sand, but I don't think he'd sink to a low level of pettiness. He doesn't seem the type.
  18. Lol, of course! His haters will find him wasteful/emo/an attention seeker for this and proclaim it's all too much, but guess what? Too bad lol. People do spur of the moment things. If he bought this and it sat on his shelf collecting dust, then i'd call it a waste, but like you said: He's always on his phone. He's going to get his moneys worth on it.
  19. I think many in the group have said Kai is rather intense. He doesn't do social media from as much as I gather, which could be part of it, and if fan speculations hold true, Kai is more in it for the career aspect and views them mostly as work colleagues. Your views on Lay are pretty interesting...interesting too, I wonder if the HC MC's will hone in on him for being more outspoken? I mean, Lay was kinda their child Chinese kid star turned K idol...so I'm curious at what his reception will be. Tao's too easy to goad and read, if the MC's pick at him there'll be trouble lol.
  20. If/since it's pre-recorded it'll maybe be taped before the concert and aired after? Idk. the date they are set to appear/air is on June 11th. That's all i really know.
  21. It's his own money. Celebrities earn more, so this may not be more than a small drop in the bucket to him. Since it's his bank account, his money, his career, his life...i say it's his choice.
  22. I will be shocked if any of the Chinese Mc's DONT push for something...as you said, eyes are on them, everyone will be scrutinizing the China line in particular I think and based on how those three handle it, things could get better, or speculation can grow worse. I think pride in your people/country is something everyone understands, so I think if they don't mention kris, they may throw in a jab/shade about them working for a Korean company or something....
