Hiii, welcome my very first anon on here!

Okay I have two answers. The first is Lay/Zhang Yixing. I fell for him on SDC3, he was such a captivating dancer, a fair judge and above all else, an incredible mentor and captain. When I discovered everything else from his solo work to properly giving Exo a chance, it was all because of that. I really admire how hard he's worked to stay true to himself and his values in an always difficult situation. He works so hard to balance his responsibilities, his dreams and his values. Above all else, he's a very kind person.

Now on to his music, some of his music is just sublime, I really admire how much he pushes himself to experiment and create and even though his songs aren't always my favourite, some of them are and when experienced with the proper audio equipment do crazy things to my brain. Watching him perform at Metamoon, I saw all his seeming contradictions between the power of his performance and his cuteness in the ments, and beyond. I will always admire how he's a man of many sides but always maintains his own integrity.

That being said, since he doesn't actively promote with Exo right now and may never again, I'll also talk about my bias that does promote with Exo, Xiumin/Kim Minseok. I fell for Minseok because of Yixing at first. The acoustic session was one of the first pieces of Exo music that hooked me and Minseok was sitting right next to Yixing in his cute like stripped blouse, looking absolutely beautiful and incredibly gender and then he hold out the microphone so steadily and looked at Yixing so much as he did and I immediately had a soft spot. In general, his looks stood out to me the more Exo content I watched as did his beautiful dancing. He has this incredibly ethereal quality and yet he's able to channel power, cuteness and sexiness as the dance demands while maintaining his own distinctive quality. I think a lot of people who dance like that aren't able to balance, fuze and flow between those spheres which are also quite heavily gendered and I really loved that.

I also have to credit the fic, specifically I looked up poly fic on ao3 for exo and a lot of the first hits involved Xiuchen with one other member (baekhyun/chanyeol/junmyeon/etc) and I really liked both of them in those fics but especially Minseok.

Around this point I had to admit I was actively interested in Exo itself so I started deep diving into their content, watching showtime, watching ladder, watching variety shows and interviews, exploring CBX and beyond. The more I got to know Minseok's personality, the more I liked him. I liked that he was quiet and calm but with the ability to deliver these really deadpan lines if he didn't hold himself back. His enjoyment of gossip, that he doesn't like it when it's too noisy, how he looks after the other members, how he smiles that wonderfully normal smile. I liked how much he values people he cares about. I enjoyed his sense of humour. I loved how much he loves music. In the end it was just so clear, by the number of photos I had saved alone that he was my bias as well and his solo debut made it clear that I had understood him as a person and that my love for him was here to stay.

Hope this answers your question and thank you again!
