EXO’s Lay Zhang on his love for chilli crab, his 4 cats and learning Singlish for his concert

And as it turns out, Zhang is now a total pro with the instruments; fans who are bound for the concert are in for a treat.

Zhang picked I Don’t Care as the song that was closest to his heart in his latest album West. In short, the song is about ignoring the haters and unwanted opinions, and following your heart. To that, he has a tip for dealing with comments from Internet trolls: “Scroll away quickly! Don’t linger on them and focus on the supportive comments instead.”

ON LEARNING SINGLISH AND HIS PETS

During the press conference on Monday (Oct 17), the singer took on the challenge to learn Singlish phrases on the spot, and now boasts a Singlish repertoire consisting of “shiok” (cool), “chio” (hot), and “yan dao” (handsome).

Upon picking up the terms, he asked: “Should it be shiok concert or concert shiok?”

“Shiok concert!” the on-site reporters agreed. Hopefully, we’ll get to hear him say “shiok concert” as he compliments his fans with “chio” and “yan dao”.
