[TRANS] [TEXT] He's called Wu Yifan, he is a Chinese.

I'm a Year Two student from Senior High, written many essays and novelettes, ranging from critical to comical ones, with a style that is distinctively mine, but regarding this one that I'm writing now about Wu Yifan, I can only say that, maybe it is better to write it plainly and straight to the point. What I am about to say, is based on the Wu Yifan whom I know, it is from my own perspective, he belongs to everyone, I can't say that I know him very well, but I love him the way everyone else who loves him does.


The most undenial thing about him would be his looks, many would call it "handsome", everytime I'm refreshing Weibo I'd also say "handsome", but in fact I feel that the word "handsome" is too shallow, some people only have a beautiful outer appearance, but empty inside. He has a heart that is unstoppably warm, one of the many reasons why his numerous fans can't leave him.

The warmth he exuberates at the airport- specially buying a luggage to contain the presents that his fans gave, the way he leads the group, the image of him holding in his tears during the award presentation, the look of him lowering his head to look after the members, the good leader who exchanges opinions with the crew softly, too many, I can't finish talking about, or write. How he changes from a bitchface guy, to how we fans want him to be like, there are also fans who are weak-hearted that left the fandom, and most of all, there will be fans who only love him for his looks, but regardless of all these, he keeps on trying to work hard, harder, and even harder, to become better.

In terms of variety sense, he goes along with the host and tempo of the show, everytime when requested to do something that is difficult in his position, he will always smile shyly saying, "Maybe next time." Also showing off his drawing and writing skills on variety programmes, telling us "I, have a good handwriting and I am not bad at drawing."

Fluent in Chinese, English, Cantonese and Korean, but he is very modest, never showing off, always in low profile, not snatching the limelight off anyone.

At the airport, he knows that fans are tired and having it tough, despite being squeezed and stuck in the jam, he doesn't flare up, and kindheartedly tells his fans to be careful, meanwhile, with apologetic looks on his face while saying sorry to the workers that he caused the jam, and also taking care of his friend who came to fetch him.

Whenever there's any festivals or during the New Year, he never fails to send his regards to the fans, writing a "love letter" for them.

I just want to tell him: I like you in every way, just like how you like every single one of us, you don't need to cater to us, you just need to keep flying, chasing after your expectations and dreams. The most blissful thing for me, isn't seeing you sending a flying kiss to the camera or any sorts of fanservice. To me, your success, seeing how you, despite all the obstacles, still managing to soar up, step by step, with determination. It is then, when you shine the brightest, it is then, when Wu Yifan is the most handsome.

You are on a bridge, looking at the scenery, while those who are looking at the scenery, are looking at you.

You just need to care about bringing your members with you with your flight, I will be forever looking at you from the back.


He is a Chinese, he is working hard in Korea. He first knew Zhang Yixing, he protected Zhang Yixing like how a elder brother protects the younger one.

He is tall, even though he has a model-built, able to pull off all sorts of clothings, his dancing is the most off-balance one in the team, because of his longs arms and legs. This is of no doubt, something troublesome, but he pulled through it in the four years. Four years, a long time, but he just mention casually about his trainee years.

Was it tough? The uncountable moments of standing on your own, pulling a luggage while returning back to China occasionally. He cried at the awards ceremony, with Zhang Yixing crying on his left, he has to stop himself from crying while taking care of him. We all know, Kris is someone who doesn't like to cry in the team. But he did, just after watching one video. Is it exhausting, is it tiring, have he recalled the difficulties he encountered in the past? Was he overwhelmed by the concern and warmth the fans have given him? I saw online that many fans have cried because of him, I didn't, my heart just felt really wrenched looking at him, thinking, "Yup, this is the Wu Yifan whom I really love."

What I see, is his success now, no, to him these are just temporary, this entertainment industry is too harsh, competitive and the risk of getting kicked out is high. But to step on the global stage, like his Super Junior seniors, to be able to write a historic moment, is his dream.

He has developed a strong character since young, knowing that he has to take care of his mother, and thus made himself a stronger person. He used his most, most determined look to hold everything together. He understands the meaning of responsibility, he likes girls who are filial and are devoted to the family. See, the first thing he said isn't "pretty" or "cute". He is someone who can't forget the past, that black bag, he kept using and using, even if it is torn.

We call him the king, the one with godly features. But ultimately, he is a 23-year old boy. Loves to eat, difficult to wake up in the morning, someone who does aegyo, and someone who misses home.

As ordinary as us.


This is my first time liking an artiste, not because of his looks, but his inner character. I like every member of EXO, but the first time I saw Wu Yifan, I got caught by his smiling self. Even if 20 years have passed, my own children don't know the story of EXO, don't know the existence of Wu Yifan, I will still proudly hold up their albums, his photos, and tell my kids, your mum, when she was younger, liked this group, this particular person, they are so, so, talented and great.

People who don't follow stars, will never understand fans, because they have not experienced before, never liked before, never empathised before, so they can never understand how we feel joy from our idols' success.

Ending soon, though I'm writing this because someone wanted me to write something about him, but I'm feeling especially happy after writing this, writing for Wu Yifan, there is something satisfying from this.

There is a Chinese dragon from exoplanet, he can fly, he is still okay.
