The story in Lay's "Flying Apsaras" was inspired by Chinese mythology or folktales. Apsaras are spiritual immortal beings that can fly -- similar to angels -- which are based on Hindu and Buddhist beliefs. Flying apsaras are most often found in hieroglyph images as part of ancient Chinese cave murals. Lay even shot part of what was going to be the MV at the site of some of these caves. So, a lot of the pictures you see them making in this dance are designed to look like the images of the flying apsaras from those drawings.
Lay is an ambassador for China, so one of his goals is to share Chinese culture with the world. One way he is doing this is by creating his own style of music which he has labeled M-pop. M-Pop stands for Mixed-pop, which means he mixes traditional Chinese elements and sounds with mainstream pop and hip-hop beats and styles -- combining old school Chinese culture with new modern hip-hop and contemporary beats and styles.
The choreography has also been designed to highlight Chinese culture by using a lot of traditionally Chinese dance moves and styles. The choreographer that Lay worked with was Huang Xiao who is a member of his team from the dance competition show that Lay was a team captain on last year called Street Dance of China season 4, and the other dancers are all members of Huang Xiao's Hello Dance crew.
Lay is a singer, rapper, songwriter, composer, producer actor, director, editor, dancer, designer, etc. -- genius -- and with every new release of his, he just one ups himself. When it comes to Lay's solo work he does it all -- he writes, composes and produces the songs (including the rap sections), he even creates all his own beats, he has a large part in creating the choreography and he has a hand in coming up with and directing the MVs. It is also all financed by him. He even owns his own production company called Zhangyixing Studios, which is named after Lay. (Zhang Yixing is Lay's real name. Lay is a stage name given to him by SM Entertainment.)
As you might know, Lay is the Chinese member of EXO and he was originally meant to fill the same role in EXO-M -- the Mandarin Chinese sub-unit of EXO -- that Kai fills in EXO-K -- the Korean sub-unit of EXO. Kai is one of the top two BEST dancers in Korea (Taemin from SHINee being the other top dancer) and Lay is one of the top dancers in China.
Lay's catchphrase is "Balance" which means that when it comes to choreography and synchronization it has to have balance. If it's not balanced then it's not good. So his attention to detail when he creates music and choreography is on point.
He is so highly respected within the Chinese music and dance community that he is considered an authority figure. He has even started his own Idol trainee company in China -- with SM's blessing -- called Chromasome where he plans to use his talents to influence the world entertainment industry and to pass his skills and knowledge on to the next generation. (And he's not just head of the company in name alone, he is super hands-on in everything he does.)
He is regarded as an expert at so many different things because when he decides to do something he becomes hyper focused with the goal of being the best at it. Like all of SM's top dancers, Lay is super dedicated when it comes to dance and music. He literally spends 6 hours every day in the dance studio practicing, regardless of how busy his schedule is. Some of his favorite sayings are "Try hard, work harder" and "Talent is only 1% of what you need to succeed, hard work, dedication and a grateful/humble heart is what makes up the other 99%."
Lay is a perfectionist and he is never satisfied unless everything exceeds his expectations, which is why he only released a short 40 second visualizer using a few clips from what was going to be the MV, and we don't have a full MV for "Flying Apsaras" yet. He wasn't happy with the final product. This is also why Lay is involved in all aspects of his music. He takes pride in the fact that all parts of his work is done by him, so he wants it to be extremely high quality because it's his reputation that's on the line if things aren't up to his standard.
His new album -- which is the album "Flying Apsaras" is on -- is called East.
Fun fact: I believe the dragon in his "Flying Apsaras" visualizer clip is connected to the dragon we see in Lay's previous MV, "Lit." If you haven't seen the visualizer yet, you really should check it out.
👏👏👏 thanks for taking the time to write this to let them know how amazing Yixing is. His hard work has been confirmed by Chanyeol who said Lay hyung was the busiest EXO memver and Kasper his choreographer.
Wow thank you for explaining.
Thank you
The song is well named. Apsaras also mastered the fine art of celestial dance, dancing to music made by their husbands to entertain the gods and fallen heroes. This is just like that, it's so ethereal from the choreography to the cinematic-ness of the dance video. It's like their performing on stage.
it's official. Lay is your bias. You also went crazy when you reacted to him krumping in 'LIT'. I love how he blends his Chinese culture with hip hop. It's like a Chinese Krump.
😂😂😂😂😂
This is what Lay does! He is a MASTER of blending his Chinese culture with modern hip-hop and crump. So much of his music is this and THIS is why he is one of my Ults in the kpop/cpop world!!! You're reactions are just so amazing!!!!
He is my ULT too
Lay is such a perfectionist that he rejected the MV for this song because he didn't like how it turned out. We were only left with a preview of what it would have been, and we really wanted her to repent and release it.
Lay's musicality is no joke... Balance. Great reaction guys.
Lay will be at Barclay's Arena in late November for Metamoon music festival you guys should go watch him
Lay is a legend😭
I knew you would love this one! That's why I recommended that to you, Lay is a fantastic artist omg. Thank you for your reaction, Don! I love your comments, especially when your friend is on the vide, I learn a lot about dance here
FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for you to react to Lay again (and also with either James or Olaniyi! I KNEW you were gonna be “annoyed” again, ‘cause this dance practice had people on their necks, especially dancers!
I’m so glad y’all mentioned waacking, ‘cause Lay mentioned it before that he didn’t realize that krumping and waacking are quite similar + during a dance battle in Street Dance of China, he briefly did a move or two and I kinda had a feeling he’ll dabble on it sooner than later :)
Someone might correct me, but did you notice that it looks like tai chi was mixed in the choreo?
I wish you two reacted to the visualizer, which unfortunately is very short due to his wish to not release a full version (he found it unsatisfactory). Regardless, it’s still enjoyable and definitely MOVING ART.
Looking forward to you reacting to more of Lay soon 👀
So glad that you guys reacted to this and loved and enjoyed it so much! Indeed this dance practice/ song is a perfect marriage , a perfect blend of grace and power. Lay has been trying to push this new genre of music that he calls M-Pop , not to be mistaken with mandopop , M-Pop stands for mixed mandarin pop; the concept of it is to take something , a sound or an instrument that is rooted in Chinese culture and try to blend it with more internationally known genres and see if you can make something unique out of it! It is Lay's attempt to introduce more traditional Chinese sounds to a wider international audience while also modernising it. This choreography was choreographed by Huang Xiao, founder and a member of the HelloDance team (also the dance team that was featured in the dance practice video) and Lay himself! One of the things this choreography has been praised for is how seamlessly it incorporates ethnic dance, in this case, traditional dunhuang dance with more modern genres of dance e.g waacking to create this wonderful blend of modern and traditional, which is also what the M-Pop genre hopes to achieve!
Anyways if you guys loved what you've seen of Lay so far you might want to catch him live in Brooklyn, New York at the Metamoon Music Festival this November 26! Lay is said to be headlining the festival and it will feature other Asian acts that are making their debut in the US. I'm unsure if Lay will be bringing Flying Apsaras to New York but as demonstrated in this dance practice video, he's an outstanding performer and a joy to watch live so I think it's a chance worth taking 👍
Legit why Lay is my fav dancer~
Yes bros LAY is just that man!
This is one of the most special dance practices I've ever seen. I love the original music and the fact that the choreography is so good is incredible. It's crazy that Yixing is out here leading dancing from a team of dancers that have won world events. He actually got even better every time I saw him perform this and I really hope I get to see him perform it live this November because it's *epic*. It's so lovely to see you both appreciating it so much.
Finally.. I've been waiting for Lay's reaction... I know u already react to Lit MV.. but, maybe u can react to the dance practice too.. thanks..
oh btw, the choreographer for this dance is Huang Xiao. He's one of Lay's team members in Street Dance of China.. while Lay was the captain..
Huang Xiao and Lay are truly a great team together with the addition of George ❤
@@rawesome yeahhhh.. agreee.. 😉
i love that lay is his own creative director so things fall together very well ans he reaches out to different people every release so it's great teamwork too
Who can resist such multi talented and handsome boy. Gosh I love him so much. I will never missed any of his artworks.
omg I'm crying at last I see how you respect and admire Lay's work he loves dancing his passion is Krump, but as an artist the art and perfection he delivers in his choreographies on stage not only feeling the music but living the music with dance, it is incredible how Lay through his dance and music expresses emotions, feelings and above all his culture creating works of art in mpop inspiring many.
Thank you for reacting to the video of Flying Apsaras
Top 5 for sure. This was one of the ones I was talking about. Glad you got to it.
If you want to see more of Lay dancing he was on a show called Street Dance of China Season 4 as one of the captains. A new season is about to come out too.

LAY has discovered his own dance fusion/genre known as Mixed-Pop, even though theres diversity of genres and music; this is NOT K-Pop because he is Chinese It is C-Pop / M-Pop (Chinese Pop / Mandarin Pop).

Yessss i'm so happy you finally reacted to flying apsaras!! Waiting for the veil reaction now. I really liked how you described everything and all your commentaries and reactions uwu
You should really react to Street Dance of China on the yoku channel. One of the contestants choreographed this for Lay. There’s not only group battles but old skool battles and contestants are from all over the world. Even the judges battle. Lay was a judge last season but he’s not on there this season. PLEASE CHECK IT OUT!!!!
Absolutely top 5!!!

Lay has a Dance Practice for 'LIT' and you definitely want to watch it!!!
I love this reaction from you guys! Wait till you check out Lay's new dance practice to his new song Veil! Bring your popcorn we gonna be here a While lol
This dance practice got me into k-pop world!
I didn’t know any k-pop artists before this. Now I’m truly an EXO-L.
I’ve bought the tickets to his concert in San Francisco next Sunday! Can’t wait to see him live!
these dudes really having a moment sjjsoske i love it
Lay is always the best dancer to me. His dance moves is always so.powerful, so percised and so smooth. He is full of charisma. i love him.
Lay is my ultimate bias . I am obsessed with his music and he is absolutely stunning and very attractive when he dance. I love him.
I CAN STAY WITH U2 WATCHING MORE N MORE,I CAN SEE FIRE N PASSION IN YOUR EYES FOR DANCE,,,WAACKING I KNOW IT TO THROUGH LAY IN CHINESE STREET DANCE 3 ND 4 SEASON HOPE U CAN CHECK IT OUT SO MANY INTERNATIONAL PRO DANCERS IN THERE,🤩AS A PRO DANCE U HAVE TO LOOK FOR IT,EVEN IN PRIVATE U HAVE TO CHECK IT,
I REALLY hope you got to see Street Dance Of China season 3&4 where he was a captain.
Im so stoked! I knew you would love this!!
i love the reaction from you guys!!!
Lay is king of M-pop, the only Chinese musician I love
I absolutely love these videos. I only just found you and you bring so much to these reactions. Not only are your reactions hilarious and amazing, but you also have such insightful comments on the choreo and genuine feedback to add to it rather than just screaming that it's good, you explain WHY it's good and how intense what moves they're doing are. I really enjoy these videos because of all of this and I'm so happy I've found your channel. If I could recommend anything I'd say the soloist Chung Ha, watch her Snapping choreo and ASTRO, honestly any of their choreos are incredible, they are well known for being incredibly in sync with each other, it would be awesome to see you react to them.
Lay 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
Zhang Yixing really brings our culture and represents it thru dance/art to modern times on the international stage.. that wow factor is called being Chinese, we ancient ppl
Yasse, you should react to Lay krumping in Streer Dance of China tho 🔥
FINALLY!!!
Thanks
Finally this 🔥
Hey guys!!! Thank you for reacting to Lay! He has just released a new EP named Veil too! And the dance practice has just been released as well! Please take a look and let us know what you think because it's completely different from this one!
I love Lay. He is a great dancer.
yaaaaasssssss
Lay is definitely one of my fave dancers, he's amazing. Btw please react to another fave dancer of mine, Kai, there's Peaches and Mmmh dance practice vids
Wow, thanks for the real review reaction! Just love it! BTW. probably you could also take a look at Lay's online live concert, for example, Bad? ruclips.net/video/NBtXysQC0LQ/видео.html
If you know the background story of Feitian, you will be even more shocked.
👍
BTW it's cpop
This piece was choreographed by Huang Xiao, he's the co-founder of a dance studio named Hello Dance from Chengdu, China (the dancers in this video are from Hello Dance too). Huang Xiao is one of Lay's fav choreographer, he also participated season 3&4 of a China TV show "Street Dance of China" and was a part of team Lay on both seasons. Please check out the show in the mean time, I think you'd be interested in it. There was subtitle of the show on YT.
Lay zhang‘s new song “veil” reaction please please please
Unfortunately there is NO official music video since he didn’t like the finished product, so he decided to keep the VISUALIZER video; FOR THE LIFE OF ME LOL PLEASE AVOID THE FAN-MADE VERSIONS B/C ITS OFFICIAL CONTENT OF HIM.
Hi. FYI, LAY had dropped his new MV Veil. Hope you could react to it.
Yo check out his Sheep dance practice video! A totally different vibe!
Would you do Lay's dance practice for "Honey"? Exo Kai's dance practice for "Spoiler"? And Lay's new mv for "Veil" (as of today Sept. 28, 2002) , believe me you will be happy to see these....
And since you're dance experts, I take it you know Parris Goebble and The Royal Family right? And her girls Request Dance Crew, right? Incredible...💙🌺
IGNORE ANY NEGATIVITY THATS TOWARD LAY, even though he’s not fully under SM Ent anymore; HE IS STILL EXO MEMBER with a new relationship agreement with SM since LAY has his own agency in mainland china which I heard was technically given to LAY by SM while he was in CHINA promoting solo music aka C-Pop / M-Pop (Chinese Pop/Mandarin Pop). That ended up having to be away from EXO for past 6+ years promoting separately as a EXO member within his solo music.
If you have a time and want to know lay more.. You can watch lay concert perform in his youtube channel.. You must watch all of them!! First, you must watch joker perform..
