Both Victoria and Lay were appointed as Chinese Youth Ambassadors a couple of

years ago. It was a government appointment hence they cannot explicitly

promote under a foreign label. This is why f(x)'s Victoria and EXO's

Lay are put on "hiatus" and also the reason why SM allowed them to set

up their own management team in China so they can do activities there.
