  1. I agree with you, that's why I decided to come delurk again, I got so angry I lashed out then after that I was not feeling like posting much anymore then took a break, but then came back kept an eye on things. I realized that leaving was not a good thing, it would be better to come back stronger and more vocal. I hated the fact that being an HL meant constantly being on defence mode, but I realize that offence is the best option being more positive promote more and and louder is best.
  2. Thank you Thank you I'm more of a lurker, but sometimes I'll post. depends, I have a bad relationship with OH, I hate it, because of the drama and the nonsense that goes on ex: news about Tao crying today. But I'm making an effort for Tao, needs more HL to represent.
  3. Thanks I've lurked actually and posted a few times in other threads, but for some reason neglected to post in the main thread.
  4. Same! I think he has a lot of empathy and sensibility, he's very expressive, which are great qualities to have for an actor. I am glad Summer is being released before RRT because I think it will allow him to showcase something different, in the sense that RRT is expected from him it's an action movie where he gets to showcase his martial arts skills. I don't know if his role requires depth. But it looks like summer requires more nuance and acting skills and I think he will be great. Even though he might not realize it himself, I think Tao could be a very great award winning actor. So I have a lot of hopes for what this movie can do for his career.
  5. SM has always been trash, and they will remain trash, it's not even the first time they do things like this, the CEO is clearly a narcissist a control freak and megalomaniac. Someone made a comparison a while ago between the Entertainment agencies like SM and organized crime and the slave trade it was chilling how accurate it was. There is no necessity for him to go to this extent when idols leave it's not like it's going to bankrupt the company and destroy the group, the fans think it will but it won't (and SM plays with that fear) SM is a business , they keep on releasing new products and improving the ones they have (sad to call people products but it's clear that's how SM treats the idols) and tons of others waiting for their chance to shine, they have enough funds and loyal fans to sustain themselves even if some idols decide to quit. There are other ways to get over the ordeal. But 's entire business foundations is based on unfairness and abuse. So people leaving threatens their foundation. They don't don't want to be fair and ensure good working conditions for their idols. They just want to make as much money as possible. What is SM is doing now, it's not only trying to punish Tao for getting out of his shackles but they are also intimidating those who want to try it too. It's all about keeping control or at least giving the impression that they have control or that they are the victim to to the stupid and naive ones. Unfortunately a lot of SM's clientele falls into the naive, immature or entitled, egotistical category, they won't see beyond what is happening right in front of them, or what they want, they don't see the big picture or don't understand it it's beyond them or don't want to because it will mess with their fun. This is how you get all those comments that support SM and so many people falling for their manipulation. The only way things will change if if idols keep on leaving actually, it will force things to change, there needs to be another big group that takes a united stand and protest. I think if DBSK had left has a group instead of split things could have progressed more, the 2 members that stayed somewhat allowed SM to save face. JYJ only succeeded because they were huge, But most idols know how long, down low and dirty the fight is and how the odds are not in their favor, so most of them won't risk it. The Chinese members are in that unique position that allows them to go back home and restart, or continue their career, when things get too hard, too abusive and unfair, and reach bigger success in a year than they would in SM for if they stayed for their whole contract time, upsetting the balance of power. It's maddening for a company whose method of operation is control. yes SM will do everything to stop them but since their reach is limited in China they are basically a barking dog with no bite. All the hate and the scandals Tao has had so far has not prevented him to rise, and it won't because it's manufactured and Tao is strong willed and determined and his talent, actions and professionalism speak louder than words.
  6. Tao to SM: All I wanted to say I've been said already. Anyway he looked so good today, he's going to law of the jungle press conference he's rested, he looks gorgeous, he's happy. He doesn't care about the haters.
  7. RRT filming ended today the 30th. If I remember correctly Summer 19 is supposed to start jan 5? or 7? If he doesn't take a part of New years events, maybe he'll get another week of rest.I worry about him too. He is working himself to the bone. The Grazia photoshoot is iconic, I think it will be hard to surpass in the future.
  8. Welcome! I like all his songs but I find myself Listening to Feel Awake and Alone the most, I also agree with you regarding his song lyrics, they are so personal, I admire that too.
  9. Glad to hear the people that were biased against Tao have been removed from the show. I wonder how this will reflect in the future marketing and editing of the show. Now that the staff knows that they have nowhere to hide from hailangs! I hope to see an improvement.
  10. I have been thinking the same, I am uncomfortable with how they treat the children many times on the show and the only ones I think that are the most sensitive and genuine to the children are Tao and sorry I forget his name Leon's dad, the gymnast (Gumnast? ). Gao is just ...okay. I think he was just overwhelmed . He seems to be doing better with his little girl now. But Wilber DanDan's Dad makes me cringe. Ever since he made that huge fuss about Dandan swearing, there was other ways to handle it without being so excessive. Tao handled it well later one when they were alone and he told him calmly but firmly that he has to stop using bad words and bullying the other kids. The overall sense I get from the show is that the producer and editor have no clue what they are doing, the editing is erratic, the cuts made no sense the story doesn't flow. They try too hard to create a scenario when the best parts are when they just let the camera roll and let the dads be themselves. The kids are used as props. There is not sense of direction really they don't know what kind of show they want to be, they are trying to be too many things at the same time, it's a mess. The way they use Tao for promo is very questionable. I heard disturbing things going on on Weibo. However as long as they don't demonize Tao in the episodes , I won't get to upset. In any case I appreciate seeing Tao interact with Boxuan, they are beyond adorable. I feel like they are real siblings. Despite all the external influences I think Tao's impeccable character is shining trough. I think finally next week is the London Episode? I can't wait!
  11. Definitely, I think Allkpop should be called out for their bias against Tao and their lack of common decency and professionalism when reporting. Although they are nothing but a sensationalist tabloid that is given way too much importance. What I found interesting is the comments, I think allkpop expected another bash Tao session, that would draw lots of clicks and angry arguments , but instead people are mostly disagreeing with the netizen comments , being annoyed by the hate, and leaving positive comments about Tao. Allkpop should get with the times, I see more and more positive reaction to Tao the tide is turning whoever is still hating on Tao is starting to look stupid and delusional, a lot of the hate Tao got was bandwagon hate , people hating for no reason and they are bored with it now, or can't recall why they disliked him before. I think allkpop will stop, because being nasty to Tao and creating scandal about him doesn't get as much reaction as it did before, it will end sooner rather than later.
  12. Thank you! I figured he's so busy and travelling all the time , there needs to be someone to take care of the place right!
  13. I think that movie will be huge for Tao's career, the movie will probably be officially distributed internationally, I honestly think he has a shot to make it to Hollywood, so far asian actors mainly have had access to Hollywood through action movie. He's perfecting his English so ... Nothing is impossible for Tao.
  14. I really like that picture too, he gives off a princely aura. From what I read on BaidupreciousZtaobar, the movie will start shooting in Tainan, Taiwan on january 10th (it's summer weather there) and they are planning to release the movie next summer. Since there is no action scenes or special effects to create (as far as I know, could be wrong) I think the post production time is greatly reduced.
  15. This saturday 's Charming Daddy episode looks very funny, I can't wait. I really did not expect him to look this good as a woman. The other dad yun xiang 's reaction was hilarious. So many good things happening rapidly for Tao, awards, new music, MV, amazing photoshoots, movies, I am used to the fast pace now so I get withdrawal pains if 2 days pass by without any news, wondering what he's doing The Grazia photoshoot gave me chills, it was pure art and will remain in my mind for a long time. I am glad his first movie Summer, the portrait of a 19 year-old will be released this summer as waiting for Rail Road tiger in October is so long, I can't wait to see Tao in a lead role in a movie. I am especially excited about the movie Summer because of what he said about the script in his Grazia interview (assuming it was that movie he was talking about), that he finished it in one shot and it left a lasting impression, and I also like the dedication of the writer towards Tao. Judging from his social media posts I feel there's nothing much left before he starts writing Tao fanfic Anyway such enthusiasm is the recipe for ground breaking work.
  16. Yup, the hate is dying down, his actions are proving the antis wrongs, so now the media is exposed for the dirty liars they are, they can't find anything to fault Tao with so now they trying to trick him into saying something wrong so they can have material to bash him. It's hard to bash someone over nothing. I requires a lot of ''creative'' skills and effort. Tao is too smart for this BS so they will have to move on.
  17. Tao's new song is a masterpiece, he's always exceeding expectations, that song is so strong, the beat is ridiculously good and his rap is incredible , he's a budding genius. He's unstoppable. So proud of him. Happy I am stanning the right person. Its the most fun I've had fangirling in a while. Jiayou Tao!
  18. Thanks Whatever you feel just share. I don't take myself to seriously. I don't think the other Tao fans do either ? ( I am fairly new in this thread, can't speak as if I own the place ) Even if you just want to make gushing comments , It's fun. For me anyways, I have plenty of non-coherent moments about Tao too ! Most of the time I just want to just keyboard smash and post nosebleeding gifs
  19. That's totally what it is for me, I always thought he was beautiful and unusual way, he has interesting features. But I merely saw him as just a cute , innocent silly kid. I didn't mind the idol styling, to me it's attractive,it's part of the showmanship I do admit I was skeptical at first when I heard he was leaving Exo ( not because of the Kris thing, I only think he should not have said it out it public, but he's entitled to feel the way he did, he was close to Kris and felt the impact of Kris leaving directly. I don't think one's true character can be determined by mistakes they have made, Let he who has never sinned cast the first stone, we all had moments of misjudgment due to anger or hurt. ) But I was skeptical because he didn't get many opportunities to showcase the entirety of his skills and personality in Exo. Or maybe I was not paying enough attention enough to see it. So I couldn't see him being a solo artist. Then I watched T.A.O and I was like... You got my attention T.A.O. I listened to his EP's and singles, saw some clips of his mini concert, watched some of his guest appearances on shows and his interviews, and he kept on climbing higher and higher on my bias list until i watched Crown and my unquenchable thirst for Tao was born. He became my official favorite. The sexy happened for me when I saw how awesome and badass he is on his own. It takes strong will and character to withstand the kind of harassment he's been trough and still shine. He stopped being a caricature and became a full fledged character to me, full of interesting quirks ,talent , kindness dedication, wisdom (despite a moments of weakness I think Tao is smarter, more creative and wiser than people think, I feel there is a lot going on under the surface and it's being revealed gradually through his different projects and interviews) That to me is sex appeal. He is handsome but without the personality, charisma and talent to match he would only be a pretty flower without perfume. He became my official #1 bias once he left Exo . He blossomed as a person and an artist and he blossomed in my heart.... Sorry for being so sappy.
  20. I have to say I am impressed by the Singapore reporters. All the articles although short managed to get essential and interesting information. They addressed his situation just the right way, and got a lot of information about his plans for the future and how he feels all in a nice positive manner and wrote concise and well informed articles. They addressed the controversies but with brisk manner the main focus was knowing about his plans for the future, hearing his thoughts and how he evolved since he left. It's nice
  21. I think Tao will surpass everyones expectations with his acting he has a lot of potential. he is sensitive therefore will be able to empatize with characters emotions and and also very aware of his angles, movements and expression. He can portray different emotions and feelings in videos and photoshoot effortlessy. He wont just rely on his good looks and looking cool with action scenes.He has strong screen presence he will shine in other areas too. Once the movie directors realize that they will be even more eager to work with him, there is no limits to what he can do.
  22. I think so too that his face looks fuller, he's getting back to a healthier weight thankfully, he must be enjoying the movie set craft service a lot considering how much he loves food. Tao has that face that is perfect for modeling, interesting enough to stand out in a crown yet and able to be a chameleon and pull off different looks. I think he if hadn't become and Idol he fore sure would have been scouted for modeling.
  23. Does anybody know when the song will be officially released? I could not hear or see well either but the parts that were clear were awesome!
