I wonder what moon night meeting means he looks so cute

So I was randomly reading the traits/characteristics that the Sagittarius sign (zodiac) has (I'm actually Taurus but I was reading it because Chanyeol is a Sagittarius lol) it was fun to read and it surprised me how similar the personality traits are to Chanyeol haha so if you want a fun read here it is: http://www.123newyear.com/zodiac-signs/sagittarius.html if you read it tell me if you think it matches chanyeol edit: and if you feel a little lazy you can skip the first part and start reading from the bolded words "sagittarius the sign of fire" because that's where it starts getting interesting

the thing is that some think that sehun is the visual because at their first debut showcase exo-k said that their visual is sehun (also, kai is the face of exo not the visual, but a lot of people get these roles mixed up) however, some people now think that the "visual" role in exo has changed to chanyeol (and actually in the first 90:2014 episode, chanyeol himself said that he has the role of "visual" so I think that this could very well be the case. I also know that many exo fans in south korea consider chanyeol to be the "visual" so far sm hasn't actually clarified who the visual is though lol and welcome to chanyeol's thread!!

I actually think that they would make a cute couple (when I heard she was going to be on roommate as well I was really excited lol) but I've never had the feeling that she's interested in him (in that way) throughout the show

welcome welcome!!! chanyeol stans unite! (and yes everything about chanyeol is just....;u;)

this is a chinese website not korean

lol yeah I'm just paranoid/lazy and like to avoid drama (~although in reality I actually love drama shhhh keep it a secret~) another reason why I don't really venture into other exo member threads is because probably I have this weird urge to go back and read through the thread from the beginning (I think it's due to my ocd) I literally read through this whole thread when I first joined onehallyu about 2 months ago ;u; (it was time consuming lol) but at the same time it was sort of fun because this chanyeol thread was actually started around the time I became an exo fan so it was fun reliving things and rediscovering amazing pictures/moments I had forgotten about

too many people that I want to reply to so I'll just leave a comment without quoting anyone: it's really sad to see how much hate chanyeol gets on OH (and in the international fandom in general) so much so that I get extremely happy whenever he's shown (even just a little) love I have never gone into another exo member's thread because I had a feeling that I would run into some unnecessary comments which would just ruin my mood....and also because I'm too lazy to keep up with any other thread lol... I am the type of person who can get pretty heated so I try to avoid threads if I sense that some chanyeol hate is about to go down (so basically I avoid the bashing thread like the plague and will most likely continue to avoid it) I feel the most comfortable in chanyeol's thread (it's nice to be surrounded by people who love him haha) and I'm paranoid to the point that I think that everyone on onehallyu hates chanyeol unless they explicitly state their like/love for him (and then when they do I get really happy...I have this extreme desire for chanyeol to receive love lol)

yay another person joining us!!

yes exactly it makes me so annoyed whenever I see accusations pop up and the "proof" provided can't even be taken seriously yet everyone still goes into a frenzy I love going onto tumblr but they take everything so seriously on there which is why I find myself using it less and less ( —granted I still use it a lot lol)

I would die if that ever happened and I also updated the post with the translation from fy-exo!! It has a lot more haha

(TRANS) Elle Men Interview - Chanyeol You looked especially skilled during the photoshoot earlier, do you practice often? Chanyeol: In comparison to practicing in front of a mirror, experience is always more important. Due to frequent[ly going for] photoshoots, I am very familiar with the angles or poses that go better with different types of clothes and the like. I can also understand any directions or instructions that the photographer may give. Which do you think is your best angle? Chanyeol: I feel it’s my right side. (laughs) Feedback can always be either positive or negative, but many people bear an indisputably positive opinion of you. Why do you think this is so? Chanyeol: When you put it like that, I feel a little embarrassed (starts to look slightly bashful). Whenever we participate in talent shows or other events, I tend to exhibit very natural reactions, some of which are really bright, or doting towards other people, so I guess it may be why people think of me as such. In that case, have you come across criticism from others? Chanyeol: Yes, I have … for example, on some variety shows, when I make a joke, some viewers tend to think, “aren’t you being too much!â€, and I’ve seen feedback like that online. I don’t think much of it since I tend to joke like that around friends, and they receive it likewise. But ever since, I tend to be a little more careful. Besides the online users who don’t personally know you, have you experienced the people around you criticising you? Chanyeol: Those around me? Not really. (laughs) Your personality is one that is more straightforward, and very caring to others, and you seem like the type to be very enthusiastic and positive. Do you stay good-tempered even in the face of something displeasing to you? Chanyeol: My typical personality results in my taking the initiative to enthusiastically participate in anything, and if I don’t give it my all, I will feel very moody. I have a very lively personality, and won’t really grow upset at tiny issues. Under what circumstances will you grow intolerant and throw tantrums? Chanyeol: I cannot tolerate impoliteness and immorality. In the presence of these, I grow very angry. but I wouldn’t throw a tantrum; instead I would quietly approach the person involved and point out his mistake. From my memory I feel like I’ve really never thrown a tantrum at all. This is rather uncharacteristic of a Sagittarius, is it really tough to be so tolerant? Chanyeol: Am I being tolerant? Hahaha, I think I’ve grown used to it. (aegyo) We saw that you kept secretly writing song lyrics. What sort of music do you enjoy listening to on a typical basis? What’s your composing process like? Chanyeol: When it comes to composing, I really have so much I’d like to say. I enjoy composing music for others to listen to, and often use the computer or guitar and piano to compose at home. once I’m done with my recording, I give it to my bandmates for their listening. I particularly enjoy [composing like] this. What’s your composing style like lately? Chanyeol: I like listening to all genres of music, so my composing varies likewise. But mostly jazz-pop, about 70% [of my composing] is jazz-pop. At present, you certainly would have made some headway into variety shows and acting. Beyond that, do you have any other plans? Chanyeol: Everything I enjoy doing, I am already currently doing, such as participating in variety shows, and preparing for a movie … … I think my biggest wish right now is to compose, and have my song recorded and released as a part of EXO’s album. Would you be willing to undergo other new challenges? Chanyeol: I always welcome new things, if it’s there for me to try then I would like to give it a shot. In that case, are you only interested in new and different things? Chanyeol: My attitude towards things goes along the lines of “if I start it I have to finish itâ€, otherwise I will feel very unsettled. As a child, if I began learning a new instrument, I would have to master it to a point where others would praise me for playing it well. That’s my personality, to do things all the way to the end. To be honest, on the surface, such perseverance doesn’t show [when looking at you]. Chanyeol: Yeah? I’ve often heard others say that as well. Have you ever experienced a situation in which, despite your genuine focus in doing something, others don’t see it and disagree? Chanyeol: Many people often feel this way, when they first meet me and have yet to know me well. Because I’m always laughing, and am especially lively, people tend to think “ah, he’s a playful child who likes to joke aroundâ€. But after they know me better, they’ll understand that I’m someone who thinks a lot, and has a lot of depth. I believe [everyone] can feel it, when they’ve gotten familiar with me. Does your happy personality have to do with your surrounding environment while growing up? Could you share a bit about your growing process as a child? Chanyeol: I’ve always received a lot of my parents’ love from young, and I’ve always watched them and felt their love since. As such I’ve grown to be very optimistic and enthused myself. So the feeling you give others really is very bright (like sunshine), and isn’t forced! Chanyeol: That’s right, of course it’s not forced! (coquettish) [You] need to thank your parents. Chanyeol: Yes, I’m always very grateful and thankful to them. What’s a life philosophy you like? Chanyeol: Enjoy yourself! What’s the biggest frustration for you right now? Chanyeol: (thinks for a very long time) Nothing really! I don’t often have frustrations. Perhaps you will after you’ve grown up a bit? (laughs) Chanyeol: Hahaha, indeed, my young age is to blame right now. Please list three of your best features. Your especially long legs? Chanyeol: Long legs are third, hahaha! First place is probably my smile, and second is probably my passion … third … … I think I could give you ten strong points, haha. Lastly, please say something for the first anniversary of ELLE MEN Hongkong! Chanyeol: A huge congratulations to ELLE MEN for the welcoming of your first anniversary! May readers keep loving ELLE MEN, and keep loving EXO! I’m very honored to be able to be a part of ELLE MEN’s first anniversary, and I hope everyone enjoys the many faces of EXO, and we will continue to show everyone even better sides of ourselves. Fighting! (updated translation from fy-exo)

actually oricon used to count foreign shipments...they stopped like a year or two ago

he's been sporting a bowl cut for so long (I also hope for a haircut soon haha)

qq is a chinese website so the commentor is most likely chinese as well... it can't be categorized as racist but you could say that it's mean

This reminds me of when I was in L.A for kcon...while I was there I went to a kpop store and they had official exo merchandise from their pop up store which I was really happy about but then I realized that...no matter where I looked...every single chanyeol merchandise was sold out ;u; and suddenly so many of you guys are writing these essays about chanyeol which makes me really happy!! I love you guys, and I love reading all of your thoughts about him edit: oh wow I just looked at the video (before, I was on mobile so I couldn't) and it's so nice... I want to go to viva polo and just stare at the wall T-T

I haven't started it yet, but I plan to watch school 2013

lol jk I'd be (mostly) fine with it I just hope that he does well with his first major step into acting

I can't wait

chanyeol's photos have me going like

I typed in "kris photobook" on ebay and one photobook popped up that's from a fansite. Idk if you'd like that one. For some reason he's never really had a lot of photobooks, idk why. and I don't really think that a lot of his fansites have released anything recently but I'm not sure

his hair lol

yes I can't wait for it to come out :D

oh the chanyeol emoticon isn't from onehallyu sadly :( that was just a gif that I used haha
