HAPPY 26TH BIRTHDAY TO OUR WONDERFUL LAY THE BAE!!

Another double update has been posted to celebrate this glorious occasion!

And today also marks the release of Yixing's second son!

THE KING OF CHINA IS BACK, Y'ALL.

ALL HAIL CEO ZHANG.

ALL HAIL THE PRINCE OF CHANGSHA.

Go check out the MV and the album ASAP, so we can shower Yixing with all of the love he deserves!

I'm still dying over how the title track and album are named Sheep, LOL. And all of the sheep cameos (and Yixing's flawlessness) are killing me, HAHA.

But can we also talk about I Need U?! And how Yixing wrote it for his grandparents' 50th anniversary?! And how he flew them to Paris so that they could film the MV with him?! And how he wrote the most beautiful letter in the world about how much their love inspires him?!

THAT MADE ME SO EMO, ISTG.

BEST GRANDSON AWARD GOES TO ZHANG YIXING.

Even though things have been difficult for Lay stans this year bc stupid politics and toxic ppl who dont understand anything, I just want to say that, Yixing, WE ARE ALWAYS SUPPORTING YOU NO MATTER WHAT.

WE XINGMIS ARE ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU.

Even when the rest of the K-Pop community doubts your loyalty and commitment, WE WILL ALWAYS STAND BY YOU AND DEFEND YOU.

You go out there and do what you want. As long as you're healthy and happy, we're satisfied because your well-being comes first.

You'll always be an integral part of EXO, and your absence from this year's comeback and activities doesn't take that away.

You are EXO's Lay and Zhang Yixing.

You don't need to choose between the two, because they're both YOU.

I'm so proud of how far you've come in Chinese entertainment this past year and I know you'll only be progressing even further as time passes.

You're taking over China and I couldn't be happier about your growing success.

So let me thank you for being such an inspiration despite the adversity you face daily.

THANK YOU FOR NEVER GIVING UP, DESPITE THE DIFFICULT POLITICAL SITUATION YOU'VE BEEN PLACED IN BY NO CHOICE OF YOUR OWN.

THANK YOU FOR WORKING TIRELESSLY TO BRING WONDERFUL CONTENT TO THE WORLD, IN TERMS OF MUSIC, ACTING, AND DANCING.

THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A LOVING PERSON AND SHARING THAT BEAUTIFUL, PURE LOVE WITH EVERYONE ELSE.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE, LAY OF EXO.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE, ZHANG YIXING.
