She stated, "I went to an all girls high school, so unfortunately, I didn't really have male friends in my school years. I do have male colleagues though, but I am not in such a complicated relationship, so to speak, like the one between Won and Ha-na in the drama."

EXO Discuss How They Cope With Missing Members

EXO discussed how they handle missing members during stage performances.
The currently nine member group appeared on the June 12 episode of Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook. Since EXO has so many members, Yoo Hee Yeol asked the group what they do when members are not available to perform at concerts or music shows. "There has to be times when one or two of you are unavailable," Yoo Hee Yeol inquired according to Segye Ilbo.

The group revealed that they prepare about twenty different version of their performances just in case a member is absent.
With Lay managing schedules in both China and Korea, he has been unable to attend many music show stages for EXO's recent "Call Me Baby" comeback, though he has been around for "Love Me Right" promotions. Additionally, EXO has gone through several group changes with former members Kris and Luhan leaving the group back in 2014. Kris' departure hit the group exceptionally hard as he left with only a week before EXO's first solo concert series "THE LOST PLANET."
Recently, member Tao is also believed to have left the group as well. Although Tao has been quiet on the matter he recently announced the creation of his own management agency in China. SM Entertainment maintains that the two parties are still discussing Tao's situation. Still, many fans are viewing Tao's new agency as a sign that he has permanently left the group.
Not only did EXO share their performance preparations on Yoo Hee Yeoul's Sketchbook, but they also discussed their superpower concept and performed a live band rendition of their hit song "Growl."
Their episode of Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook aired on June 12 at 11:35PM KST.

Is Pixar jumping the rubber shark with Toy Story 4?

When Disney-owned Pixar announced in November that a fourth Toy Story movie was in the works with original director John Lasseter at the helm, most assumed that meant another outing for colourful, much-loved characters such as Woody the Cowboy, Buzz Lightyear and Mr Potato Head. But according to Pixar president Jim Morris, in comments made during an interview with the Disney Latino blog (as translated by the Telegraph), the latest instalment in the most successful animated film series of all time could look very different indeed.
The epic love story between Andy and his playthings introduced in 1995’s Toy Story pretty much came to a close in 2010’s Toy Story 3, with the teenager heading off to college after passing his childhood possessions on to neighbour Bonnie. We’re told that Bonnie’s toys, including Trixie the Triceratops and Mr Pricklepants, the enthusiastic thespian hedgehog, will feature in the new movie. But beyond that, it sounds like Toy Story 4 will head into entirely new territory.
“It’s not a continuation of the end of the story of Toy Story 3,” said Morris of the new film. “In temperament it is, but it will be a love story. It will be a romantic comedy. It will not put much focus on the interaction between the characters and children. I think it will be a very good movie.”
These comments come as something of a shock. Retiring Woody, Buzz and the original gang is one thing, but removing the link between plaything and owner which always seemed to sit at the heart of the multiple Oscar-winning saga is quite another.

A simple shift to a Bonnie-centred era had seemed the logical way forward following the events of Toy Story 3. And Pixar has since released several bravura shorts focusing on the little girl’s playthings and other characters introduced in the most recent full-length outing. These have more than held their own against the old guard, with the sartorially adaptable Ken (in Hawaiian Vacation) and Trixie the Triceratops (in Christmas special Toy Story That Time Forgot) proving particularly engaging.
There have also been great moments featuring the original Toy Story crew: one of my favourite shorts in the recent series is Partysaurus Rex, in which the timid dinosaur kicks off an EDM megarave in a bathtub after Bonnie takes him to meet an entirely new gang of water-based toys. But you can see why the film-makers might reckon it’s time for Woody and Buzz to head up to the attic after two decades of keeping us entertained.
What doesn’t make sense is for Pixar boss Lasseter to jump the shark completely on the new outing, which will be written by Celeste and Jesse Forever’s Rashida Jones and Will McCormack. It strikes me that if you’re going to use the Toy Story brand for your next movie, then that film should at least feel like a Toy Story outing.
On the other hand, this is a series that has taken more than $1.9bn worldwide, with Toy Story 3 breaking the $1bn barrier all by itself five years ago. So perhaps Pixar should be praised for daring to radically reinvent its best-known creation rather than simply taking the easy money.

Not a great track record with sequels...

The studio ought to be smarting from the failure of weak sequels such as Cars 2 and Monsters University to win traction with critics, and indeed Morris seems keen to point out during the Disney Latino interview that another film is not simply being made to exploit the series for financial gain. Fingers crossed Toy Story 4 proves him right.
Letting go of Woody, Buzz and the team will be distressing for those who remember the series’ best moments: the Toy Story scene in which a rocket-propelled Buzz rescues Woody from Scud, the evil Sid’s wonderfully monickered bull terrier; the musical segue in Toy Story 2 in which Jesse the cowgirl sings of her heartbreak; the sublimely terrifying garbage incinerator scene in Toy Story 3. But if the new film restores Pixar’s reputation for innovation and excellence, it will have been well worth bidding our old friends a fond farewell.
