He would have gived up and move on with his life before any project group to come out of paper. He would be the oldest male trainee of SM and the oldest member of any NCT's unit, NCT China did not even debut yet, can you imagine? 

[Ice Poseidon]

Imagine not wanting to debut 

[waycrispy1]

They made him do that damn flip at the end of everything

[Rinni]

Hmm it was a blessing in disguise though, he can do what he's doing now thanks to debuting as EXO. Otherwise he would've debuted with NCT or just quit the company altogether thanks to the long wait to debut

This is how I discovered EXO. 

 

I saw a compilation of his flips during MAMA era

[MelanatedBeauty]

I'm glad. I got to watch him grow as an artist so I'm glad SM debuted him when he wasn't at his optimal.

 

GAH BLESS TAOSUS

[Cinnabear]

Thank goodness he wasn't put in Nct. Whew, we dodged a bullet.

All's well that ends well. He has been through a lot. I just hope he is happy and healthy right now. Nothing else matters.

Mortals don't deserve him anyways.

[Ddeona Oneul Bame]

He's said many times he felt he wished he could have had more time to train before debuting, it's not like he didn't want to debut at all~ He wanted to be at his best~ But it worked out for him, sometimes you get put into your job when you aren't totally ready, it allows you to learn and we all benefitted anyway~

Yeah, dodged someone who can rap, compose, play instruments, sing, do martial arts, is doing acting....lol

[rowanokke]

all the exo-l in this thread with similar bloomingday DPS and sigs are confusing the shit outta me

[WenSuelRene]

He may not have wanted to debut when he did, but it all ended up well for us since we got to experience him in EXO when we did and now he's still working successfully.

[ByulHarangBona]

At least he got to debut unlike thousands of trainee who want to debut but can't.

SCREECHING

[eternal glow]

If he didn't debut, he wouldn't be where he is now so blessing in disguise I suppose. 

[MS-D.O.S]

I became a fan of EXO right after his departure, but I liked his time in the group. He brought a great sense of humor to the group dynamic.

Lmao, yeah

[Hallyucination]

In the end it was for the best and like he said before he learned a lot, his hardships, his hardwork, all those experiences made him who he his today.

 

I really like those PD101 interviews, Tao expands on his journey as an artist and his hopes and why he wanted to do the show.

 

First interview below.

 

[Bitoku]

in term of popularity and fandom, he got the best being in EXO.

[KorAm]

They made him do that damn flip at the end of everything

LOL.

 

I really like the refreshing honesty of the guy.

 

How many idols with his status today would have said that he was on EXO because of his martial arts and wanted to trained a few more years on the real important skills?

 

Thumbs up for Tao.
