I dont think they have an official store in Cannes, only Paris but i am sure theres other retailers in Cannes selling their stuffs. Jiujitsu and judo - both from Japan, developed by the same person if I am not wrong? But i am not sure about the belt colours though. 

If this theory is true, geez boys...you are really testing our FBI skills. I do agree why didn't ZZ just wear a simple white top for example the one he wore yesterday to the airport, it would be more comfortable for him? Why wear this!l?   #delulumodeactivated

and the thing is he was wearing this judo-jujitsu themed shirt several times during practice then during the KR show. it must mean so much to the liitle kitten! zz is really giving me hope that his bromance with a certain whale, fox, tiger is real!

I heard this song while driving and it was a few days after "See u later" and cactus/skateboard/luggage photo and it totally like a light bulb suddenly lit inside my head.

"When you’re standing there in your underwear
And my t-shirt from the night before
With your messed up hair
And your feet still bare
Would you mind closing the bedroom door?"

DNCE - Toothbrush

*Baby you don’t have to rush
You can leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place
We don’t need to keep it hush
You can leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place

Stuck in a moment
Passing the tide
Each time I let you stay the night
Up in the morning
Tingle the sheets
We play the moment on repeat

When you’re standing there in your underwear
And my t-shirt from the night before
With your messed up hair
And your feet still bare
Would you mind closing the bedroom door?

Repeat *

#Cause I just, I just can’t let you go
Give me something I never know
So baby you don’t have to rush
You can leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place

No need to question next time we meet
I know you’re coming home with me
Sweat like a sauna
Break out the ice
I know you’re gonna stay the night

When you’re standing there in your underwear
And my t-shirt from the night before
With your messed up hair
And your feet still bare
Would you mind closing the bedroom door?

Repeat *

Repeat #

I don’t want this to end
And there’s no need to play pretend
If you stay with me again
Would you mind closing the bedroom door

 

Repeat *

In less than six months, an ordinary college student has become a social media star in boasting of 2.4 million followers.

This is Xu Weizhou who has emerged as the hottest star in Asia after Chinese web drama "Addicted" was launched in January this year. A story of teenage homosexuality, the drama instantly became popular as more than 10 million hits were recorded in just a day since its release.

Xu held his first solo concert "First Light Asia Tour 2016" at KBS Arena in Seoul on Saturday. All 3,000 tickets were booked immediately when reservation started early this month. The Dong-A Ilbo met him on the eve of the concert at a hotel in Seoul. Many girl fans were present at the hotel lobby hoping to see him.

"When I was in Seoul last time, I was walking down the street on Garosugil when a Korean recognized me. Well, the number since then grew to 10, and then to 100. I was perplexed but felt great."

Xu had visited Korea in March this year. Though it was a personal trip, fans still flocked to the Incheon International Airport. "I was really surprised to see so many people at the airport, but was more surprised to see the placards that fans prepared this time," he said. "Korean fans have great manner and are enthusiastic. I was really impressed."

Having debuted as an actor, Xu Weizhou recently released an album that included songs of his own composition. He is also making an Asia tour concert. "I majored in acting. The advantage of it is that I can show people what I have learned," he said. "Yet, I have long dreamed of becoming a singer. I have had experience of creating a band and performing. Singing is more intuitive and I like it since I can directly share my feelings with fans."

He prepared various genre of songs ranging from pop to rock for the concert in Seoul. He also prepared greetings in Korea. He actually pronounced "I love you" and "Hello" quite well. When asked what he likes about Korea's culture, he listed entertainment programs such as "Running Man" and "Kang Ho-dong's Match Made in Heaven." "I like actor Ha Jung-woo. I watched 'Chaser' and liked it very much," Wu said.

"I was an ordinary student who was full of dreams. Now that I'm known by a lot of people, I have come to think that life is not something one can predict. While it is not comfortable going out, I'm grateful that many people actually help me out with numerous things when I'm outside," he said. "I want to do my best in both acting and singing. In the process, I want to contribute to spreading Chinese culture among Korean people."

서울콘서트 성황리에 마친 중국의 샛별 쉬웨이저우 

25일 오후 서울 KBS아레나에서 열린 ‘퍼스트 라이트 아시아 투어 2016 인 서울’에서 쉬웨이저우가 팬들을 향해 열창하고 있다. SNP Media HUB 제공

평범한 대학생에서 소셜네트워크서비스(SNS) 팔로어만 240만 명에 달하는 스타가 되기까지 6개월도 채 걸리지 않았다.  

올해 1월 인터넷에 공개된 중국 웹드라마 ‘상은’으로 중국을 비롯해 아시아 전역에서 가장 ‘핫’한 스타로 떠오른 쉬웨이저우(許魏洲·22) 얘기다. 이 드라마는 10대 동성애라는 파격적인 소재를 다뤘고, 공개 하루 만에 조회 수 1000만 건을 넘으며 인기를 끌었다.

그가 25일 서울 KBS아레나에서 단독 콘서트 ‘퍼스트 라이트 아시아 투어 2016 인 서울’을 열었다. 티켓 3000장은 이달 초 예매가 시작되자마자 매진됐다. 콘서트 전날인 24일 오후 그를 서울의 한 호텔에서 만났다. 호텔 로비에는 그를 잠깐이라도 만나기 위해 기다리는 여성 팬들이 진을 치고 있었다. 

“지난번에 왔을 때 혼자서 서울 가로수길을 걷고 있는데 한국분이 저를 알아보시더라고요. 그러더니 한 명이 곧 10명이 되고, 10명이 곧 100명이 돼서…. 당황했지만 기분은 좋았죠.”

쉬웨이저우는 3월에도 한국을 방문한 적이 있다. 공식적으로 알리지 않은 개인 스케줄이었지만 당시 인천국제공항은 그를 보러 나온 팬들로 북새통을 이뤘다. 그는 “그때도 정말 깜짝 놀랐지만 이번에는 팬분들이 따로 플래카드까지 준비해 주셔서 더 놀랐다. 한국 팬들은 예의도 바르고 열정적이다. 정말 감동했다”고 말했다.

드라마로 데뷔했지만 그는 최근 자작곡이 포함된 데뷔 앨범을 발표하고 아시아 투어 콘서트를 하는 등 가수 활동에 집중하고 있다. “연기는 전공을 했기 때문에 내가 배워온 것을 보여줄 수 있다는 장점이 있지만, 예전에 밴드를 결성해 공연을 해본 경험이 있을 정도로 가수는 오랜 꿈 중 하나였다. 가수 활동은 더 직관적이고, 팬들과 직접 만나서 호흡할 수 있다는 점에서 좋아한다.” 

이번 콘서트에서는 팝부터 록까지 다양한 장르를 준비했다. 한국어 인사도 준비했다는 그는 ‘사랑해요’ ‘안녕하세요’ 등 몇 가지 인사를 꽤 정확한 발음으로 말했다. “한국 문화 중에 좋아하는 것이 있느냐”는 질문에 ‘런닝맨’ ‘강호동의 천생연분’ 등 예능 프로그램을 줄줄이 대며 웃던 그는 “한국 배우 중에는 하정우 씨를 좋아한다. 영화 ‘추격자’ ‘황해’를 재미있게 봤다”고 했다.

“저는 원래 꿈만 많은 평범한 학생이었어요. 갑자기 이렇게 인기를 얻고 나서 인생은 정말 예측할 수 없구나, 하는 생각을 많이 했어요. 외출할 때 좀 불편하긴 하지만, 주변에 절 돕는 분들이 정말 많아졌어요. 앞으로 연기와 노래, 가리지 않고 열심히 활동하려 합니다. 그러다 보면 중국의 문화를 한국에 좀 더 많이 알릴 수 있지 않을까요?”

中国歌手许魏洲圆满结束首尔个人演唱会，“成为歌手是我一直以来的梦想”
从一名平凡的大学生到成为一名在社交媒体(SNS)拥有240万名粉丝的明星，仅仅用了不到6个月的时间。
这就是凭借着今年1月份在网上公开的中国网络电视剧《上瘾》而在中国等亚洲地区一跃成为最炽手可热的明星的许魏洲(22岁)的故事。该网剧描写了10多岁的同性恋这一破格性素材，在公开仅一天后其网络点击数就超过1000万次，获得了很高的人气。
25日，他在首尔KBS Arena场馆举行了个人演唱会“First Light亚洲巡演2016—首尔站”。3000张门票在本月初预售刚开始就被抢购一空。记者于演唱会的前一天24日下午在首尔某酒店内见到了他。在酒店大厅为了见他一面而专门等在这里的女性粉丝们早已摆开了阵势。
“上次来的时候一个人独自行走在首尔的街道上，当时似乎有韩国人认出我来了。接着(围观的)从1人变成了10人，从10人增加至100人……虽然有点惊慌失措，但感觉很不错。”
许魏洲在今年3月也曾来过韩国。虽然是一次非公开的个人行程，但当时仁川国际机场因为了专门看他而前来的粉丝们被挤得水泄不通。他说，“当时真的吓了一大跳，但这次粉丝们更是单独准备了横幅，更令人吃惊。韩国粉丝很有礼貌且非常热情。真的很感动。”
虽然通过电视剧出道，但他最近发表包括自己作的曲子在内的首张专辑并举行亚洲巡回演唱会，集中进行歌手活动。他表示，“演技是我的专业，存在着可以展现出我所学到的东西的优点，但以前有过组乐队演出的经验，成为歌手是我一直以来拥有的梦想之一。很喜欢以歌手的身份活动，因为这更加直观，而且与粉丝们直接见面可以很合得来。”
在这次演唱会上，许魏洲准备了流行音乐和说唱等多种类型的音乐。另外，准备了韩语问候的他，以比较准确的发音说出了“我爱你”“你好”等几种问候语。当被问到“韩国文化中有喜欢的东西吗？”时，他报出《Running Man》《姜虎东的天生缘分》等一大串综艺节目并大笑着表示，“韩国演员中最喜欢河正宇。非常喜欢他的电影《追击者》、《黄海》 。”
“我原来的梦想只是成为一名很平凡的学生。人气突然爆棚之后，产生了很多诸如人生真的是无法预测的这样的想法。现在外出时虽然有点不舒服，但周围帮助我的人真的变得越来越多。今后将努力在演技和歌手事业上积极活动。这样一来，说不定能让更多的韩国人了解中国的文化呢? ”

Hello everyone. I'm back with some information my friend directed to me in regards to Addicted and the ban. I don't know whether to laugh or cry after reading this article and its replies. So I thought to share.

Epic Post 4: Did Censors Ban Homosexuality?

The short answer is no. The long answer is it’s complicated.

Cfensi is back with our least favorite column, the epic post aka what’s wrong with the media.   As you might have heard from CNN, Time, or a number of other media outlets, China has recently taken down a series with a homosexual pair and may have banned everything from portrayal of homosexuality to reincarnation to extra-marital affairs.  I can probably write a book of ways SARFT can improve, but this time, they really didn’t do it.

Let’s break this news down one-by-one.  First, the more serious accusation from CNN.

Chinese censors say television shows shouldn’t include story lines involving gay relationships, plus other topics that “exaggerate the dark side of society,” according to new guidelines.

The document exists, and is against everything from reincarnation to sexual liberation. However, if CNN had bothered to look up the organizations (one of which they named in the article), they’ll see that the document is by two non-state-sponsored organization with no jurisdiction over TV production.  Just because an organization has the word China in it doesn’t mean it’s official.

Now back to the beginning. The  fiasco first came when the net series Addiction 上瘾, which is pretty much a BL version of Meteor Garden, was taken down, and all the media said it was because of the homosexuality. Fun fact: Meteor Garden was also taken down for promotion of school violence, which violates article 10 of the official SARFT’s Television Content Regulation for minors.

It’s more likely the move is a part of the plan to regulate net series like other TV series and make guidelines consistent. Previously, net series did not have to go through review prior to airing.  Just last month, at least five other Internet series were taken down temporarily, and all five are available for viewing in China as of writing. Only one of the five included a LGBT pair.  Yes, I am talking about the Internet phenomenon Go Princess Go 太子妃升职记, which is about a modern male who reincarnates into a concubine of a Prince and falls for him. The series ended up cutting out all of its sex scenes (China has no rating system, so all shows are suppose to be at most PG-13 if not PG). The producer said that they made the cuts according to their own discretion before submitting it for review, which probably means they played it safe and cut anything that might be controversial.   

In addition, the news articles forget to mention that Addiction promotes several things we know that SARFT is not okay with –  corruption, illicit drug use, and violence and sexual assault of minor.  The male lead used his dad’s government status to force government institutions to help him woo his beau, beat up innocent classmates for fun, kidnapped and almost raped the other male lead in the name of love,  and somehow those scenes were suppose to make him hot. I wouldn’t be surprised if the series was taken down for any of those reasons.

And it’s not that homosexuality is not allowed to air in China.  Only last year, blockbusterThe Dead End featured the male lead (Deng Chao) in a pretty intense make-out scene with another man.   In 2013, the state-owned CCTV  aired a scene featuring a homosexual pair caught (clothed) in bed in New Detective Squad. The same team later produced made-for-TV film Diving Boys 激情跳水梦, and the production team stated the film was written as a  BL without overt romances. The film also aired on CCTV.

To me, the bigger story here is that because of the ambiguity of SARFT and general lack of acceptance, several major productions have recently chose to remove homosexual relationships and add heterosexual ones  in the process of adaptation . While the changes were not fundamental in series like Nirvana in Fire, it’s a much bigger deal in dramas likely to be centered around the relationships, such as Rebirth and maybe Song of the Phoenix.  This is especially disconcerting in light of the rise of slash ships, so there’s a dichotomy of both the commercialization of fake homosexual relationships and the suppression of real ones in the TV world.  This act of self-censorship is just as problematic as actual censorship, and is actually something that’s going on instead of made up by the press.

Finally, to be fair, the Chinese media was all over this, too.  But Sina never pretended to have journalistic standards, CNN is suppose to at least have the pretense of one.

     Thanks for the link! I’ve been reading more on BL-culture in China, and it’s great that people in China are taking note of the difference between BL fiction/drama and works that actually explore homosexuality. I used to be a big fan of shipping bromances, but I feel like nowadays bromances and BL are getting over-commercialized, and can often be setbacks to actually adavancing LGBT rights (cough,Addiction, cough).

       Its no wonder the lead actors Huang JingYu (Johnny Huang), Xu Weizhou (Timmy Zhou), Lin Fengsong and Chen Wen would rather not talk about the series anymore right after this. Mentioning of lack of general acceptance and negative flaks from netizens regarding the underlying themes

   Thanks for the in depth explanation! It is interesting because I am also one of those who blame SARFT whenever there are new drama regulations. I understand their desire to put a stop on Addicted/Heroin because it is a very negative drama with a lot of contents that we rarily see in cdramas. However, it is indeed the reality in China; the Guan Er Dai using their parents’ corruption power to make life of their classmates/entourage miserable. Sigh, this situation is a serious mess and China really needs some kind of social revolution.

   • idarklighton 03/04/2016 at 11:35 AM said:

     I don’t want to sound like an apologist for SARFT, but corruption is not forbidden on TV. Neither is school violence nor rape of minors. SARFT has no clear rules, but my general feeling is that it’s only an issue when it’s done without punishment.

     For example, New Detective Squad’s Case 1 included an antagonist who was modeled after the 我爸是李刚 guy. Case 3 was centered around a government contract that gave everyone impotent vaccines, and was overall tied into the political machine in town.

     That said, what I think SARFT really needs is economists who can show them how counterproductive most of their guidelines are …

   Thanks for writing this post. I read about this brouhaha in a few English blogs (haven’t read the CNN article, though). I didn’t realize the Heroin/Addictive webseries has a few issues, as I didn’t watch it. I, too, initially thought it was because of the homosexuality plot. I do agree with you, though, it’s the self-censorship that’s concerning.

@filmlore46 I'm sorry but I do not agree with what was said about Addicted in that article.  The show/novel uses the negative accurate, most appropriate side of society to tell a story of struggles and coming of age in a world that is so oppressed.  Good is a fantasy and evil is the true reality of the world.  In this day and age we are more informed than ever through social media and the internet.  You can't sugar coat everything to hide the grim faces of reality in a communistic world.  We are smarter than that.

This is a revolution for a free world.  Following the boys journey and supporting them in every steps along the way is our way of fighting.

[pknb]

Whenever I see articles about the ban not being about homosexuality, I just laugh it off as higher ups just trying not to seem as ridiculous as they look to everybody. If the ban was about other things in the series, why is it that you still cannot see Yuzhou in the same picture frame? Everybody else can be seen together, but not Yuzhou. Wouldn't be surprised if these articles are the work of that PR firm China hired to improve their image around the world. I mean, they essentially banned Yuzhou from being friends publicly. Who does that?! I think that (government run) CCTV debacle, was Zhou's last straw. He's probably thinking, there's nothing I can do that will get me back in your good graces, so i'm gonna do me. That's why he performed those two songs. Very brave of him.

Been lurking since before page 100 LOL. I love you guys..... /back to lurking/  

PS. Just a thought; millions of people watched two beautiful men with amazing personalities fall in love and many of them fell in love with their story, their "real life love story". This scared the Richard Simmons out of certain higher ups.

That chemistry they have, that very authentic chemistry they have, is just sooooooo. Not everyone experiences that in their lifetime. If you ever experience it, never let go man, never let go. 

I know I'm all over the place so uhmmmm... Love you guys, /back to lurking/

Hi, I don't think it has anything to do with a communist world though. I mean even in democratic countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, South Korea and India, such BL/same-sex shows are generally relegated to obscure arthouse movies (read: dark and sad ending 90% of the time)

I don't think there are BL TV series beyond Thailand, Japan, Taiwan and China for now. Please feel free to correct me as this is based on my limited knowledge.

I tend to believe that It's true that the show was banned because it contains corruption undertones. China is now fighting an anti-graft war against corrupt public officers and greedy companies. The novel is actually porn by the way. It also involved teenage sex. They had sex when they are 17...which by the way started with rape. So many had predicted that it will be taken down.

The problem I feel is that China is reluctant to have a rating system and hence it limits what Chinese can produce. But I also believe few Asian countries will allow such content on be on free to air web TV without some changes to the script, age limits and parental controls too.

But I agree with you that there is a revolution around the world with regards to love and marriage. The Pope just said that Christians and Catholics should apologise to gays for example. Japan and Taiwan are leading the way in terms of gay rights.  I also agree with you that it is unjust that JY and ZZ are banned from appearing in shows... They are such great nice people. Edit: I think @pknb has a point about the authorities not wanting a positive "role models" of gays. But equally, it could be that they just want to punish them so as to send a warning to others. Imagine, if they continue to appear together and gain even more momentum, then it will encourage other people to take risks and challenge SARFT's directive.

I suspect that Chinese are very flexible people. In time, they will relaxed the ban against the two of them especially when they see them as assets rather than problems. Now that ZZ performed the two banned songs in Korea, I am waiting to see what would happen next....hoping for the better...

Not much news on ZY today yeah? That's great! They deserve a break after working so hard  Interestingly, they aren't in the same city now...

Thank you @aeislaeigh for all the pictures! I really wanted to bring this fan art to attention on our page... I just felt really gloomy after seeing this fan art... This really was reflected at Incheon/Beijing airports by small groups of fans. Hopefully all fans can see this fan art (pictures speak louder sometimes) and realize how actions like these can really hurt ZZ and JY..... Also for myself, I have to come clean... yeah I used to LOVE close up pictures, I used to think "heck Im so far away from them! I want to see pictures!" After seeing what really goes on... I will try to retain myself from those pics, and only follow/like camera fans that act ethical/give them space....

But ZhouZhou wore this particular T-shirt even during Walk Slowly encore. Why he should wear this T-shirt with such a uncomfortable item during practice and during that particular song. Probably he wanted a certain someone was close to his heart.

At first I didn't really understand the fanart about the green belt by 呼呼花－ Now I get it.. And Zhouzhou only wore it during his rehearsal or concert right... Hmm... #deluludelulu

I thought that emoticon refers to ZZ and the other one, the dark brown one, is JY. No? 

 

 = alternate text for this is "doge" = Johnny

 = alternate text for this is "喵喵/meow meow" = Zhouzhou

I conclude this after reading a lot of cryptic emoji status from CPF weibo that appeared especially after the 2nd ban... Other than that Zhouzhou also used this emoji in his Weibo. Other than that [2], CPF weibo posts about these two would always be in this order . Yellow head first, brown head 2nd = YuZhou 

Sorry took so long to reply to your question. I'm backtracking everything before the concert...

that's strange, I have received my order almost 3 weeks back. However my regular copy got stuck in the warehouse, and when I requested for a refund, they only refunded the delivery charges (RMB32) to my Alipay account - which I have no way of transferring back to my Malaysian account unless I have an account with any bank in China. I cba to argue more with them so I left it at that. 

Hope all is well, ask them to refund to Paypal or something instead of Alipay! Sorry I wasn't able to reply much earlier.

Yea it's strange af. When I wanted to do a refund, the page said that the period of refunding in 15 days are already over. So frustrating.. I told her a friend from Malaysia already received her order so can you try to help, like instead of stating you're posting a CD, say that you're posting something else.. Then she didn't reply my message..... So I decided to use Yoybuy service to forward our parcel to Malaysia.. My friend and I wanna faint from the estimated shipping fee.. *sigh* What to do.. At least now she replied that she'd sent to the Yoybuy China address.... I'd never buy anything from Taobao anymore.. Even my Shangyin photobook from Yesasia already arrived... Thanks for the reply though!

Covernment of China gets hot feet that now this news is coming out.

There trying to save there face to other countries because the didn't realized that the serie outside of China so populair is not only in China.

Timmy has made a important move to sing these 2 songs in Korea that's the reason that i'm so proud of him that he was so brave to sing the 2 songs.

I would not be surprised that the hole cast including Johnny, Timmy and CJD somewere sitting around the table and discussing the next move.

This clip here, I can hear clearly that ZZ changed the lyrics during encore. ZZ's expression....any news for ZZ's other concerts in China?

 

it's very hard to differentiate "bie" & "ni" but after i read his lips. YES, HE CHANGED IT. bad kitten. bad kitten. lmao

@bearology's post mentioned that one of the shoes ZZ wore during his concert was by Christian Laboutin....

ZZ's Dandelion Octopus shoe is indeed very eye-catching. Look at the two pearls for its eyes. 

Back in April, JY also wore a pair of Christian Laboutin shoes (the sparkly Gwaliorissimo Flat) when he was shooting DWS.

















(Pic from this site)

Someone pointed out over IG that with the number of similar-looking shoes or shoes from the same designer, JY and ZZ are perhaps, not just soulmates, but solemates as well =) Well, that's one thing but sometimes, I do really wonder whether they have a mutual agent / negotiator in the wardrobe department? There were many times when one of them would either wear something similar or from the same designer within a month or two, or sometimes, within weeks of each other's photoshoots.

And since JY was a model, I couldn't help thinking if he was the one who set the ball rolling in getting sponsors for his (and probably some of ZZ's) outfits and shoes. I guess, even if they can't be seen in public, there's no stopping this power couple behind the scenes and I do believe there's probably more to them than meets our eyes.

You pointed out that Xu Lu might have cut her hair to resemble you know who. To give her the benefit of the doubt, I think she might just like the chic hairstyle and it's probably better to sport a shorter hairstyle now since it can be quite hot in China during summer. 

Then again, maybe Xu Lu does know of JY's current preference hair length-wise for the person he likes. JY used to like girls with long hair until at the Thailand fan meeting, when he said that he likes girls with hair that is just slightly long. 

The translator just happened to place his fingers below his ears while translating JY's answer. And the audience repeatedly shouted out ZZ's name throughout that segment. JY looked like he didn't seems to mind being linked with ZZ as he was smiling through it all. So, if you put two and two together, you can probably guess who JY might really have in mind when he was answering the question.

JY's reaction says a lot for me....even if he did not confirm anything, he's not exactly denying anything either. If there's truly nothing going on, knowing JY's character, he would have voiced out or showed a slight trace of annoyance but he didn't. That says something, doesn't it? 

Oh, btw, speaking of ZZ wearing Andrea Crews' judo/jujitsu-themed outfits, JY is now holding a blue belt so, if ZZ were to sport another outfit but with a blue colour belt, then we don't need to guess who ZZ really holds dear in his heart =)

P.S: A bit unrelated, but all this while, I have always thought that Xu Lu is perhaps, one or two years older than JY but she's actually just two months younger than ZZ. Anyway, looks like there are two Xu(s) in JY's life at the moment....one whom he can't be seen with, and another whom the DWS crew is trying to pair him up with. Although many people seems to like the JY-Xu Lu pairing, if I have a choice, I rather see more of JY's interaction with Ethan Ruan or Ma Ke....I think JY's more relaxed and less awkward when he interacts with guys, somehow.

Oooh, I am so happy ZZ will have live stream with L'Officiel. Someone here said that this is a high profile fashion magazine in China, right? Yet too bad I can't watch the live stream :'( hopefully someone can upload it (and maybe subbed? *kitten eyes full force toward @gashupingo hahaha. Sorry for being so greedy xD).

Btw, DwSS trying to ship JY-LL is only recently, right? I think that's because there are lots of questions about JY/LL from fan girls (who, ironically, might ask the questions to make sure that there are nothing happening between JY and LL, lol). But yeah, actually JY is more on bromanceship with Ethan. Curious that Ethan is getting along with JY because I thought he would be jealous or threathened by JY's fans and JY stealing the spotlight of DwSS from him.

Hoping JY will go back to Beijing tomorrow! What is he doing today in Shanghai anyway?
