Zhang LiYin MV is being edited

[sassylina.livejournal.com]

Looks like SME has decided to start editing Zhang Liyin upcoming MV starring EXO's Tao, f(x) Victoria and actor Song JaeRim.
The following picture of Tao appearance on the MV has been shared on Instagram two days ago.
The song is supposed to be about a mother love according to an on-going rumor on Weibo, which kinda make sense as Victoria is playing a mom in the MV.

I'm still in shock that this is really happening.

[midnightindomie.livejournal.com]

This looks really sweet, I think it's gonna be another sob story? As is every ZLY MV =))

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

Y (Why...) and Moving On weren't really sob stories though.

[midnightindomie.livejournal.com]

Yeah but there was the Timeless and I will MV? I think the ones featuring other artists are sob stories

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

I know. I just wanted to clarify because you had said "every", which isn't true.

[midnightindomie.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I didn't mean /every/ like /literally/ every. I guess I worded it wrong. ^^

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

No worries! I just get defensive because "Y (Why...)" is my favourite MV of hers (because she actually stars in it and it's not a Microsoft PowerPoint slideshow lol) but a lot of people don't seem to remember it, that's all :)

i'm so angry that after 5 years on hiatus, without a single new song (at least j-min has gotten new songs while in japan), liyin's new release might just only be a single. A SINGLE. not even a EP. never mind a full album with 10+ new songs, but who has heard of cpop artists returning after a 5 year hiatus with only 1 or 2 new songs?! absolutely ridiculous. and it's not like she hasn't been receiving attention lately either. she's been getting some attention from her appearances on "mad for music". the show isn't "i am singer" or anything, but at least she's making regular appearances. i need solid reasons as to why SM won't allow a EP release for zhang liyin.

i seriously hope those rumours are wrong.

It's to the point I'm just glad she's getting a music video

[missingmisnomer.livejournal.com]

Can we get a definite date for the MV release at least?

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

The hashtags in the second teaser photo (http://instagram.com/p/ql1a3CF-Oz/) say that the MV will get released in July.

[missingmisnomer.livejournal.com]

thanks! so at least we know it'll be out in the next 12/13 days lol.

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

I'm kinda hoping it'll get delayed to early August... There's been so many SMTOWN or SM-related releases lately: f(x), J-Min, SM Rookies, Henry, INFINITE... Liyin has been gone for 5 YEARS. Fans already complain about their faves not releasing music for 1 year lol, but she's been gone for 5 YEARS. She really needs all the hype and anticipation she can get because at this point, general K-Pop fans will just think she's a new debut.

[missingmisnomer.livejournal.com]

i've noticed that there is barely any hype surrounding her comeback at all. Like ok, i know she's been gone a long time so not everyone is gonna remember or care, but if this is the case, SM should be doing the most to build anticipation for her comeback. I'm not saying I need a million teasers or billboards on every corner but are they even trying?

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

are they even trying?

that phrase breaks my heart because there is so much truth in it... because do they ever try for Zhang Liyin? :(

but yeah, maybe the SM staff who posted these instagrams strategically put them up to create some hype among EXO fans at least... but we'll see. idk. i want hype/anticipation, but i want the hype to be about her, not just the people in her music video. there is more to zhang liyin than her kajillion kdrama-like music videos. i would rather have 2 full albums of music videos where she sings in a box than 3 singles of kdrama music videos that she doesn't even act in.

Is this going to be a Korean release or a Chinese one, though?

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

Chinese, but in this age where K-Pop is more international, it doesn't really matter what language the songs will be. Fans will try and listen to it all the same.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

I'm excited since this mv involves three of my favorite people.
Poor Liyin though, five years and only a single?

[soft-taozi.livejournal.com]

Excited for this, so Song Jae Rim is the dad?

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

Tao looks 12

[scheisse.livejournal.com]

omfg he looks so good. i hope he keeps the black/dark hair for a long time.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Gurl did you see his pictures from last night?



delectable
