* DyeHard: Has dyed his hair brown, silvery-white, platinum blond, bright red, turquoise blue, and even had purple extensions in his hair.
* HotterAndSexier: His "Bad Girl" song and music video, which includes suggestive lyrics, him being surrounded by sexy women, and a ShirtlessScene.
* LonelyRichKid: His character in Mr. Six is a rebellious, angry person, despite coming from a wealthy family, due to not having a loving father.
* LoveMartyr: "Bad Girl" is about him deciding to no longer be this to his unfaithful, dismissive girlfriend.
* LyricalDissonance: "Bad Girl" is about him deciding to let go of a relationship in which his girlfriend mistreats and cheats on him...and it sounds quite upbeat, pop-ish, and fast-paced.
* StarMakingRole: He was already well-known as a member of Music/EXO, but his first role as a professional, independent actor was Peng Zeyang from ''Somewhere Only We Know'', and his performance was rather well received by multiple critics.
