Before people could react, Ling Dale (Luha) carried a black schoolbag and ran out. The crowd rushed up and rushed to the side of the road. Ling Dale refused everyone to take the photo and said that he would go to Guangdong to develop the next day.
A girl took out a pen and asked for a signature. He asked, "Do you want me to sign Luha or Ling Dale?" The words implicitly contained EMO's doubts about the future. After the infringement storm, should they become themselves, or continue to wear other people's skin and get rid of other people's traffic.
The girl said, "Let's sign Luha."
This is the debut scene after ESO changed its name to EMO. Just a few minutes ago, Ling Dale announced in front of the camera that he would withdraw from the group indefinitely.
For more than a month, group formation, withdrawal from the group, infringement, house collapse... ESO combination has repeatedly become hot topics. Some people described them as spending their domestic entertainment life in just one month.
The parties involved do not think so. On August 25, member Lu He told Jiupai News , "We have been confused in the past few days." The performance of

【1】 "Luha" was changed to "Lingdale", "Wang Erbo" was changed to "Zhao Dabo"
On the evening of August 24, the EMO boy group performed here in Bubugao Plaza in Meixi Lake, Changsha. As early as three days ago, the members warmed up on the platform, "New songs and love songs were released, large-scale outdoor live broadcast."
EMO, original name ESO, has its early members including but not limited to Luha, Huang Zicheng, Quankulong, Wang Junka, Wang Erbo, and the imitation objects cover artists from different periods and combinations such as EXO, BIGBANG, TFBOYS, etc. Later, there were "Deng Dae" who imitated Deng Chao's , and "Zhang Xixi" who imitated Zhang Yixing .
Just over ten days ago, a lawyer said ESO or infringement, so the team changed its name to EMO. The members also changed their names, "Luha" to "Lingdale", and "Wang Erbo" to "Zhao Dabo"
Although they said they wanted to be themselves on the platform, the shadow of imitation still lingers. "Quanku Dragon" changed its name to "Quanku Dragon", still retaining pink or green hair, and wearing G-Dragon's iconic yellow retro glasses. Zhao Dabo frequently "missing the tongue" during live broadcast, shouting out the name "Lu Ha" and then apologizing to the audience. His Douyin id was added with brackets after "Zhao Dabo", and it still reads "Wang Erbo".
Lu (his stage name is not Luha or Luhan ) was originally a buzz cut, wearing a black wig with a middle part, which made him look more like the actor Huang Bo .
This early autumn night, the warm wind in Changsha blew, the stage of BBK Square was ready, the dry ice rack was up, the lights were turned on, and the new song "Disguise" was played in the LED screen. This group of top counterfeits doesn't seem to be good at facing the camera, and their eyes always float away.
performance is about to begin.
"Today is our last performance of EMO. I have an important news to tell you." Ling Dale announced to the camera, his voice rising. He is the top star in the team, with silver hair and looks like Lu Han. Zhao Dabo (Wang Erbo) next to him quickly interrupted, "Let's talk about it after the performance!" The
solo (single-player performance) part will be a round first. They danced a few dances, which were not neat, and the new member Deng Cha didn't even keep up with the beat. After the dance, there was a small amount of applause. But they were very happy, "We have 50,000 people watching our live broadcast room!" Zhao Dabo said excitedly staring at the screen of his mobile phone.
Jiupai News randomly visited several viewers. An audience member works nearby and doesn't know EMO, just wants to join in the fun. A girl is a fan of Huang Zitao and she feels speechless when she sees them. Another girl was learning and wanted to know how a live broadcast room with 100,000 people was born.
She has watched the recording of variety shows offline. She stood in the front row very front, and the stars walked past her, reaching out to them in the audience during the performance. Even so, "I still feel very far away from them. And ESO is very close."
"If you have dreams, you will still support them." said the girl.40 minutes after the performance of
started, Ling Dale (Lu Ha) finally announced to the camera that he would withdraw from the team indefinitely. The other members showed surprise. Zhao Dabo hugged Ling Dale's shoulder, "Really or fake? Is it true? Is it a joke?"
"I hope everyone can get better and better, but this time I am serious. Everyone has their own choices. I hope you can respect my decision." Ling Dale said, his tone firm. Zhao Dabo was so angry that he kicked the stage hard a few times, his face turned red, and Huang Zicheng, who imitated Huang Zitao, swear words popped up in his mouth, Lu Ji and Ku Long were at a loss.
Before people could react, Ling Dale carried a black schoolbag and ran out. The crowd rushed up and rushed to the side of the road. Ling Dale refused everyone to take the photo and said that he would go to Guangdong to develop the next day.
A girl took out a pen and asked for a signature. He asked, "Do you want me to sign Luha or Ling Dale?" The words implicitly contained EMO's doubts about the future. After the infringement storm, should they become themselves or continue to criticize others' traffic.
The girl said, "Let's sign Luha."
[2] "No script, we don't have scripts"
"No script, we don't have scripts." After Ling Dale left, the members of the group repeatedly assured the audience.
Zhao Dabo said that the members did not know about Lu Ha's withdrawal from the group, "We were also surprised." They hurriedly closed the live broadcast that night.
Then, Ling Dale recorded a video and officially announced his withdrawal from the group. "The withdrawal from the group has been considered for a long time. I hope everyone can get better and better in their respective fields."
Although Zhao Dabo said that he had never known that Ling Dale was going to withdraw from the group, he personally revealed the reason for his withdrawal. They released a video, and several members appeared together, revealing that Luha had signed a new company and abandoned the team for the sky-high signing fee.
From the public statement, the members have different attitudes towards their withdrawal from the group. Zhang Xixi supports his decision. Zhao Dabo said: "We EMO will get better and better without you." Huang Zicheng took off the uniform performance costume that night and shouted: "I agree to you quit!"
has all the red and white faces, but netizens do not buy it. "New script" "It's back in two days, brothers, just watch it if you don't believe it."
ESO has also staged a drama of "It's back in two days".
Ling Dale once withdrew for a while because he felt that the effect of cooperative live broadcast was not as good as acting alone. During this period, Lu Wei joined in the position of his replacement. On June 28 this year, Huang Zicheng announced his withdrawal from the group because he returned to his hometown to take the driver's license exam, and on July 6, he announced his decision to return to ESO.
On the second day after Ling Dale announced his flight to Guangdong, on August 25, the IPs of other members also became Guangdong.
For more than a month, group formation, quit group, disputes, name change... ESO groups have become hot topics. Some people describe them as spending their lives in domestic entertainment in just one month.
ESO first became a hot search on June 28, 2022. Member Huang Zicheng posted a video to announce his withdrawal from the group, which inevitably led netizens who are familiar with the past of the Korean idol group EXO and the "Four Returned Sons". "In order, shouldn't it be Lu Ha who quit first?" Netizens who play with memes all put members such as Huang Zicheng and Lu Ha on the hot search. In fact, Huang Zicheng "quit the group" just to go back to his hometown to take the driver's license exam.
And just two days later, on July 1, they became the second hot search. This time, it was because the urban management stopped the live broadcast on the streets of Changsha. On that day, 170,000 people in the live broadcast room watched the process of ESO being driven away online.
htmlOn August 11, ESO caused heated discussions for recording variety shows in Changsha with Yang Di and Liu Wei. Zhang Zhonghui, a lawyer at Beijing Xinnuo Law Firm, pointed out in an interview with China News Service that the ESO group imitates the name of the EXO group, and imitates the names of Lu Han, Wang Yibo, , Zhang Yixing, JJ Lin, JJ Lin and other celebrities. This imitation is a commercial logo confusion behavior in unfair competition, or a counterfeiting behavior, and should bear corresponding legal responsibilities.They also experienced the idol’s house collapse - on August 12, Huang Zicheng suddenly announced his divorce.Because he is not as old as the legal requirement to get a marriage certificate for , he said in the video: "But I don't know if it's a divorce. In my personal world, it's really considered a divorce."
Zhao Dabo told Jiupai News that he didn't want to be regarded as a star, "We are not stars, we are just funny."
[3] "Sometimes I'm also confused."
From the videos posted by team members in the past, they are mostly from rural areas and are not old. It is understood that Wang Erbo is the oldest in the team. He is from 1997 and the remaining players are born in the 2000s.
In an interview with the "Rearview Mirror of the World", Ling Dale revealed that he was born in 2000 and his hometown is Jiangxi. He studied auto repair at a vocational school, worked as an apprentice in a barber shop, and worked in a milk tea shop. Later, he began to try to be an anchor and planned to take the route of appearance. The online name at that time had nothing to do with Lu Han, and it was called "Ling Dale, who loves to laugh."
Many people say that he smiles like Lu Han, so he imitates Lu Han's smile. "According to my observation, Lu Han smiled with apple muscles , with a slightly downward corner of his mouth and exposing his front teeth, which made people feel a little shy." He practiced this kind of smile on his phone every day, smiled for three or four hours, and took a bunch of videos to let his friends choose which one they look the most similar.
When he can't sleep, he will also think about what he is like. "Sometimes I am also confused and feel that I don't know what I look like."
In his narrative, other members of the team also came from the countryside, and their parents basically work in the factory, and there is no money at home. "We are indeed taking shortcuts, but we really don't want to follow the old path of our parents," he said.
team member Huang Zicheng was famous for looking like Huang Zitao before joining the team. He once relied on live broadcasts with Huang Zitao, and his live video data exceeded one million. But it was then revealed that Huang Zicheng took his fans to Huang Zitao's live broadcast room to swipe the screen, and then edited it himself. The two were not connected.
In Huang Zicheng's early works, there is also a video of him co-shot with his father. In the video, he mentioned that his father had only when he was in his 50s, and expressed his gratitude for his father's grace for raising him for twenty years.
These "counterfeit" stars came together and founded ESO, which started with a live broadcast between the two above. During the live broadcast of the microphone, the two had the idea of forming a group.
, and team members Quan Kulong, Wang Erbo and Wang Junka are children. They first started to be complaining about the anchors and saw Ling Dale (Luha) and Huang Zicheng together, and the three of them also joined in. Then, at the suggestion of Quankulong, everyone came to Changsha together.
While the members are constantly changing, ESO seems to want to come up with some works. From time to time, they post videos of rehearsing and singing in the dance room. Ling Dale (Luha) once said that the members specially learned the theme song "EIEI" of "Idol Trainee". They learned it from the teacher in the dance studio for a week and practiced in the live broadcast room, hoping to do a good job of singing and dancing. After
was renamed to EMO, the team announced that they will return with their new single "Disguise".
The end of the live broadcast that night was not due to the eviction of urban management, but with the exit of members. Or by chance, on the big screen, the MV of "Disguise" is frozen in a close-up of Luha, and the lyrics below read, "A sentence is taken to make up a sloppy final chapter."

Before leaving, they declined the interview because they were too busy and had too many private matters recently. Lu said, "We have been confused in the past few days." A friend who watched them leave said that they were really busy, "They have no other jobs, so they are doing this."
