We are shocked! Exo’s Lay has just announced that he is parting ways with SM Entertainment, the agency that ran the successful K-pop group’s career. This after 10 years of working together.
The farewell was made through an emotional letter that he published on his Instagram and Twitter. It was written in English. In it, Lay Zhang thanks for those 10 years in which they not only worked together, in which they were a family.
“Ten years of growth. Thanks to my brothers from Exo, to my colleagues from SM… Thanks for his unconditional love and support, ”wrote rapper Lay, not without first mentioning his fans:
“Thank you to all my fans for your unconditional love…”
He also talked about how he will never stop being Lay…
“It’s a fresh start as a 30-year-old man, but I’ll always be Lay when any member needs me. I am your family in China. I love you forever…”
This decade is one of the greatest gifts I could’ve ever received. pic.twitter.com/7Cmpyygprg

solo stage
We are crying! Because surely it was not an easy decision for him, nor is it easy news for the fandom. The good thing is that this is not the end of Zhāng Jiāshuài’s career, on the contrary, he begins a new stage as a soloist.
In fact, we have already heard his song ‘Jiu’, where he pays homage to those who were his brothers for so many years, did you notice how? She added conversations at the beginning of the song.
YIXING’S NEW SONG BEGINS WITH HIS CONVERSATION WITH EXO MEMBERS.
🐶: Hyung! Bambi is out! Have you heard?
🐑: Yes, I heard! You are very cool!🦖: Lay Hyung, don’t get sick.
🐺: go fast, I love you
🐑: Well, you too!🐑: Dodo?
🐧: I love you.— ִֶָ 𝑆ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑛 ᵈ⁻¹⁶🦋 1ΞX0 (@daebyunexo) April 8, 2022
This is the song, in case you haven’t heard it:
Of course, we must make it clear that this is not the separation of Exo, we have a group for a while, it is only a see you later from Lay, who will now delight us as a soloist.
What do you think about this decision?
