[NEWS TRANS] Renowned Taiwanese host praises EXO for being polite

Impressive! Korean group EXO recently attended 《超級巨星紅白藝能大賞》 upon invitation. Having debuted for over a year, EXO already owns overwhelming popularity. Despite so, the twelve boys still greeted veteran host Huang Zijiao backstage enthusiastically, in Mandarin, accompanied with nods of acknowledgement, despite seeing the said host for the second time only. Huang expresses, "The staff didn't have the time for introductions, but their (EXO) politeness really touched me."

There have been a few reported incidents of international stars with "diva" attitudes, and issues such as security personnel hitting fans while protecting idols as the idols remain pokerfaced are commonplace, Huang Zijiao stated in his interview with ETtoday that "In about 10 Korean groups that I have interviewed, about 5 to 6 of them have slightly cold attitude."

However, Huang confessed, that his meeting with EXO this time changed his opinion entirely. He said that he saw them looking at the monitor after his performance, and initially, he wanted to just walk pass them, but EXO took the initiative to greet him. At that moment, he thought it was just simply an act of courtesy, but when both parties met for the second time, EXO, again took the initiative to greet politely by nodding, and said in Mandarin, "zaijian(goodbye)".

Huang Zijiao said, "I didn't host their press conference, they have not attended my shows.. To them, I'm just a random performer, they couldn't possibly know who I was, and this just shows that EXO's manners are genuine. Because I've met "cool" Hallyu idols, I find EXO affectionately cute!" When asked if he would continue to pay attention to EXO? Huang lightheartedly expressed, "Just, when I'm hosting radio shows, I will play more of their songs!"
