Tao's actually smart

Tao has proven himself to be the smartest of the four Chinese members in EXO. Whilst Wu Yi Fan and Luhan are stuck in a neverending war with SMEnt, Tao has taken to setting up his own one-man company.

Tao, the last Chinese member of Exo to act out, has learnt from his brethren. He watched Kris (Wu Yi Fan aka WYFan) leave after much trouble with running away; it was pretty much expected for him to leave, and yet, it was still very poorly received from fans. He also watched Luhan follow in Kris' footsteps, probably the least likely member the Exo-Lunatics thought would leave, but the fans were okay with it, because it was Luhan, and Luhan is a pretty boy. Unlike WYFan. And then Tao was left with front row tickets to the Lay x SMEnt business. While nothing really happened, Lay pretty much said he would always stay with EXO, so if he decides to turn around and leave, he's fucked, he dug his own grave, he's trapped in the corner. Exo-Losers pretty much hate Lay from what I can see. So we're left with Tao.

Proving himself to be the smartest of his Chinese members, Tao recently had negotiated with SMEnt to chill and do his own stuff independently without any association with his group while skipping the current "Love Me Right" promotions. He even did that video game promotional thing where there was no mention of his group. And now he's announced he's created a one-man company (Why is it a one-man company? Like what is the point of that?), without really notifying SMEnt or anything. So really, it's the equivalent of this:

He's a trooper all-right. The legend himself. Tao. So now he manages himself pretty much and is able to continue his activities in China, unlike poor little Lay who is just trying to live in peace. You should really idolize Tao for this. I idolize Tao for this. Shout out to Tao.
