[ongoing] 牛桃 Baike Page Translation  


牛桃 @ Baike's translation nov 18 2014 edition by [personal profile] gon
t/n: i mostly try to translate the most literally possible. some phrasing might sound weird. my internet chinese slang is ~barely~ passable, so i apologize in advance if something is mistranslated. but please LET ME KNOW ASAP. Other t/n within the translation will be in [[these kind of brackets]]. Also, as for images, unless they are being referred to in the text, I will not be posting the ones from Baike because their quality is just. Pretty low. Yeh.

Progress Notes
11/18/14 : Translated the introduction of the page. Yeah. I'm slow as hell. I'll probably skip directly to OTP moments first, and do a line a day. oups.


牛桃


牛桃[niú táo] (KrisTao) refers to Asian boyband EXO's Chinese subunit EXO-M's leader Kris (Wu Yi Fan) and member Tao (Huang Zi Tao) shipping.

Kris's doting towards Tao and Tao's dependence on Kris makes fans think of them as a parent-raising-child type of romantic ship.

KrisTao's intimate interactions, whether on-stage or off-stage, are relatively numerous. It is one of EXO's main three fan-shipped couples, and one of the most popular ones too.

4. OTP moments


Pre-debut - 2012

- Kris obtains the nickname "牛仔哥" (Niuzai ge, "cowboy/jeans ge") (because he had a mainly jeans attire) in a pre-debut video clip of him crossing the street with Tao cutely trotting along [[like a child]].

- When returning to China in April, Tao had a waist injury, and Kris would take care of Tao, keeping him by his side, saying "Don't add pressure to it [lit. squeeze it]" which shows how he worries/cares for Tao.

- Before their debut, Korean Jewelers NANA's boss says that Kris and Tao often came to NANA to buy earrings, they got their piercings together, and even at the same place (on the ear).

- At their first show in mainland China, in a dark place [[perhaps behind the stage]], Kris cuddled Tao's waist and tried to lift him up a step, and Tao cooperated well and let his waist get supported. (Gif is difficult to explain, please see details under the expansion [[except there doesn't seem to be any link here]])

- At an interview with Sohu [[Chinese Internet Company]], the show host asked Tao that, with so many years of learning Wushu, if he gets in a fight, he isn't at a disadvantage, is he? [[a question that seeks confirmation]] To which Tao replied, "I don't fight." The show host remarked that Tao is "a good boy~", and Kris laughed and cut in to say "Yeah! He's very good [[good in the sense of "good kid"]]" (said it as if he were a proud parent)

- In a music [[probably radio]] station interview, after smelling the scent of some kind of bean juice, Chen sipped a bit but immediately spit it out. Then it was Tao's turn, and Tao politely smelled it a few times but didn't drink it, and reached out to hand it to Kris, but Kris said "Can't you try it", and Tao immediately shrinked back and took a tiny sip and handed back to Kris, and Kris drank from the exact place where Tao drank from the cup. (indirect kiss)

------------

- At the 20120401 showcase in China, Kris said Tao is a little brother ("小弟弟"), who works very hard and is a child with personality, and even said "I really like him." ("我很喜欢他。")

- Tao had posted once on the official Weibo a photo he took with Kris.

- At a Sina (新浪) interview, Tao was said to love to act like a spoiled child (lit. "flighty" borderline "flirty" depending on context), and the host asked him to demonstrate that, and Tao then said in a cute innocent (& dainty) voice "Duizhang, can you go with me, I beg you...." The host asked if it's effective, and Kris laughed and said, "Yeah, it's super effective to me, there's really no other way..."

- At the Sina (新浪) interview, the host asked Tao if the sub-unit's Gege (big brothers) take care of him especially, and Tao said that yes, and most namely Duizhang because when they had only arrived to Korea, he didn't understand a thing, and there was a language barrier, and Duizhang taught him a lot, and he is truly really really great.

- On 2012/05/02, on Tao's birthday, Kris and Tao wore lovers' attire to the company.

- At Tao's birthday ceremony, Tao forgot how to say something in Korean, and he asked Kris, who said "You're so dumb~" and Tao asked quietly "Whatcha laughing about...". EXO-K Leader's Kim JoonMyun got Tao to listen to Kris [like a good boy], to which Tao responded that yeah he is listening [like a good boy]. One of Tao's birthday wishes was that he would be like Kris when he becomes 22.

- At Show Champion, the MC explained that Kris knows 3 languages and asked for a demonstration, where Tao kept applauding, and on the other hand when Tao was being asked to demonstrate Wushu, Kris was the first to applaud.

- In Happy Camp, from a team game, Tao and Kris [lost and consequently need to] go through the punishment of eating betel nut [[basically a fruit's seed that's not good for your health (it is proved to be carcinogenic) and can be thought of as something like smoking or chewing tobacco. usually it's discouraged, and these aren't sold to underage people]] Tao picked a smaller piece and gave it to Kris, and Kris said "Tonight you will get a reward." and when He (the host) heard it, Kris laughed impossibly loud... and Tao turned shy....
