7. Cause The Dubai Fountain to extend the “Power” Fountain Show.
The incredible fountain show featuring “Power” at the Dubai Fountain was originally supposed to play for just January 2018 but was extended until March 31. Then, it was brought back for the entirety of September 2018 — due to popular demand.
Due to popular demand, ‘Power’ by @weareoneEXO will play at 8:00PM at The Dubai Fountain in #DowntownDubai throughout September.

8. Spam Lay with pictures of roosters and baby sheep on Twitter.
Trying to get your bias with over 800,000 followers to notice you on social media is an art, and EXO-L’s got it figured out with the help of Yixing’s most favourite and least favourite animals.
OMG
