On August 3, TMRW magazine and EXO’s Lay simultaneously announced their partnership via SNS. On the Chinese artist’s and K-pop idol’s Instagram, he gave fans a sneak peek as to what the magazine cover looks like, featuring his solo photo. Lay also added the caption:

“I am so honored to be invited to the ‘100-page’ bespoke magazine with TMRW Magazine.” The idol also conveyed his grateful heart for having the chance to curate a special edition issue and hope that fans will enjoy it.

Meanwhile, according to the multi-platform music and culture magazine, the 100-page magazine will feature exclusive photo shoots, unseen behind-the-scenes snaps, archive imagery, and an in-depth interview with Lay following his career and life story. ⁠

It was also revealed that the artist exclusively picked the photos, and even the pages were personally arranged and curated by Lay, spending a whole day with the TMRW magazine team. In the photos, Lay also includes behind-the-scenes photos from his backstage dance rehearsals prior to the Chinese Top Ten Music Awards.

In particular, Lay Zhang, or mononimously known as Lay, began his career at an early age of six years old as a child actor. In 2008, he was scouted by SM Entertainment, and after training for years, he finally debuted as a member of K-pop group EXO in sub-unit EXO-M in 2012.

Aside from being a K-pop idol, Lay also established his solo career as a singer and actor in China and became a respected dance mentor, writer, record-breaking musician, and many more.

In his exclusive interview for the magazine, the idol shared his daily routine and the first thing he’s doing after waking up.

 “Waking up is not always easy, and I just want to sleep,” Lay said.

“Get some more sleep, then I check my cell phone and then prepare for the rest of the day. Sometimes there’s an ad shoot, or a drama or a TV show shoot.”

Despite full and busy schedules, Lay didn’t forget to share how his heart is filled with incredible memories of both his EXO family and his family back in Changsha. “I always want them to know that I’m there for them,” he says.

On the other hand, TMRW introduced the artist on their Instagram account as well, saying, “Lay Zhang was ‘standing firm at 24’ – now, he’s ready for tmrw at 28. Our first Special Edition with an Asia based music artist has landed.⁠”

The 100-page bespoke magazine is a special gift dedicated for Xingmi (Lay fandom), for EXO-Ls (EXO fandom), and to the world. Following his autobiography, “Standing firm at 24,” which revealed his struggles, fears, as a musician and how he overcame it along with EXO members, Lay is now ready for TMRW at the age of 28.

The magazine, in particular, was printed using recycled papers. To avail the copy, click HERE. TMRW also offers to ship worldwide!
