EXO’s Lay and Tao expressed their thoughts on EXO’s current situation since Kris appealed to cancel his contract.
Lay wrote on his Weibo on July 8, “I am a Chinese member of EXO so I can speak Chinese. I am with two Chinese hyungs and eight Korean brothers. I go up on the stage for the fans who always cheer for us. I believe that I can become the bridge between Korea and China through music and will never disappoint the people who support and love us.”

Tao then re-tweeted the post and wrote, “I am Chinese. I am Huáng Zǐtāo from Qingdao, Shandong.”
He wrote, “I represent EXO as I say this. Only three members of EXO are Chinese. We can speak fluently in Chinese. Although our company is not in China, our nationality doesn’t change,” indicating that only three members of EXO are now Chinese.
Tao concluded by writing, “We exist for our fans around the world. We are EXO.”
