Zhang Yixing 张艺兴

Also known as Unicorn. Leader-troll. Perfectly-mannered. Stealer of hearts. The last term is particularly true, because it's happened to me. I think, maybe, it's because Zhang Yixing is just someone you can't help but fall a little (or a lot) in love with. I originally made this for myself because I wanted a timeline, but...idk I might as well share it because other people might be interested in a timeline with all the videos, pictures, and translations gathered into one place, right? So here it is, and here's to spreading the love!

Each of these posts either have translated articles, links to English subbed videos, or pictures. Just click on 'More' to see!

This timeline spans from pre-debut to his current activities, and it'll be updated as more stuff gets released. It's quite messy, because obviously I can't find the exact dates for a lot of things but I hope that the pre-debut timeline will sort itself out gradually ;_____;

If there's anything that's wrong or needs to be corrected (e.g. all the uncertain dates, missing credits), or you have anything to add (especially translations) please do tell me! :3

Contact: halcyondusk@livejournal or hornylay@twitter

Special love to fenshen@tumblr for rolling around with me and deciphering dates. And reuploading everything from Tudou to YT for me. AND LIKE DOING ALL THE TRANSLATIONS. I LOVE YOU 分身.

7th October 1991

Zhang Yixing was born!

Zhang Yixing (张艺兴) was born, in Hunan Changsha. His birth name was 张加帅 (Zhang Jiashuai) which basically means Zhang Become-more-handsome. Oh, trolly parents. Guess that's where he inherited it from, but hey, I guess the name worked :3

    Zhang Yixing 张艺兴

    Also known as Unicorn. Leader-troll. Perfectly-mannered. Stealer of hearts. The last term is particularly true, because it's happened to me. I think, maybe, it's because Zhang Yixing is just someone you can't help but fall a little (or a lot) in love with. I originally made this for myself because I wanted a timeline, but...idk I might as well share it because other people might be interested in a timeline with all the videos, pictures, and translations gathered into one place, right? So here it is, and here's to spreading the love!

    Each of these posts either have translated articles, links to English subbed videos, or pictures. Just click on 'More' to see!

    Rebloggable on tumblr here: http://fenshen.tumblr.com/post/27975767961/zhang-yixing-exo-ms-lay-interactive-timeline

    Basic Profile

    Name: Zhang Yixing; Lay

    Nickname: Xing Tuo

    Place of birth: Changsha, Hunan

    Astrological sign: Libra

    Blood type: A

    D.O.B: 1991/10/7

    Height: 179cm

    Weight: 60kg

    Interests: Playing on the computer

    Languages: Chinese, Korean

    This timeline spans from pre-debut to his current activities, and it'll be updated as more stuff gets released. It's quite messy, because obviously I can't find the exact dates for a lot of things but I hope that the pre-debut timeline will sort itself out gradually ;_____;

    If there's anything that's wrong or needs to be corrected (e.g. all the uncertain dates, missing credits), or you have anything to add (especially translations) please do tell me! :3

    Contact: halcyondusk@livejournal or hornylay@twitter

    Special love to fenshen@tumblr for rolling around with me and deciphering dates. And reuploading everything from Tudou to YT for me. AND LIKE DOING ALL THE TRANSLATIONS. I LOVE YOU 分身.
