Thank you so much, love your EXO's reactions, please react to "Paper Cuts" and ""Lay Honey" ❤❤❤❤

It's Exo's stroyline and concept....they have powers to help and protect life. They are sent to Earth because of all the turmoil and destruction. This song has them begging MAMA, "why are we here? No one talks to each other, no one cares about each other, there is no love, just killing and hate...humans cannot be saved..."

Reaction tô EXO-M

#EXO🔥🔥❤️❤️

EXO debut song makes us crazy

EXO's "History" MV is supposed to be an introduction for EXO and it was meant to begin to establish their storyline and concept as a group. "History" is thought to be about how EXO are still on Planet Exo and they are preparing to be sent to Earth. So that is why it has a very futuristic look and feel to it. There isn't a whole lot of story because it is a pre-debut MV so this was meant to just introduce the members and establish their concept. "History" is EXO's second pre-debut track. It was released in 2012 -- about 2 months after their first pre-debut song and MV "What is Love," and about 2 months before "Mama," which is EXO's official debut -- so this is more than 12 years ago. "History" is the introduction of the storyline and it explains what lead up to the events in "Mama." In the EXO-K version of "History" we only saw the EXO-K (Korean) members -- Kai, D.O, Suho, Sehun, Baekhyun and Chanyeol -- singing, and in the middle of the song we see them flash to the EXO-M (Chinese) members -- Lay, Kris, Chen, Luhan, Xiumin and Tao -- however, if you watch the EXO-M version you will see that the EXO-M members are the main characters in the story and they only show the EXO-K members briefly. This establishes how the two groups are separate and yet still are all part of one group as EXO. Both versions of their MVs may look the same on the surface, but the story is slightly different because it is being told from a different angle or different perspective in each version. Fun fact: If you compare the English translation of the Korean and Mandarin lyrics, you will see that the songs are slightly different. Because, as the intro to "Mama" points out, the two halves of EXO stand on the same ground and see different things and they stand on different grounds and see the same thing -- they are separate groups and yet they become one, etc. Hence, their songs and story are the same and yet different. The song is called "History" and in the lyrics they talk about making history. It's about failing at something and trying again to make it right. So, the theory is that in this part of the story EXO made some sort of unknown "big mistake" on their planet, so they have been sent to Earth to try and right their wrongs by trying to prevent the Red Force from causing a "big mistake" or prevent humanity from allowing a "big mistake" to happen on Earth. (Which now might be explained by the meteor that is hurtling toward Earth in EXO's new "Let Me In" MV storyline.) They are trying to prevent "History" from repeating itself. And they want to make "History" here on Earth. It establishes the whole reason why EXO are fighting against the Red Force and why they need to find the Tree of Life and restore peace. They can't let whatever happened on their planet happen again on Earth, etc. The part of the dance where they put their hands in their pockets and shake their pants, I interpret as the nervousness and uncertainty that they are feeling as they are about to embark on this new journey as they prepare to go to Earth and also as a representation of the nerves and excitement they are feeling as they are about to debut. As you can see, even the choreography is designed to tell the story. However, just so you know, we didn't fully understand that was what the MV and song was trying to tell us, until several years later, after we had more context to go on after we had several other MV stories and more information. But that is why we say, if you want to try and follow EXO's story you have to pay attention to everything and you have to remember as much detail as you can about everything you have ever seen and heard from EXO. Because although you might think you understand one piece of EXO's story, with every new release from EXO, we get a little more information, and, sometimes it helps to confirm what we thought to be true and sometimes it turns the whole theory on its head and makes us realize what was happening wasn't what we thought after all. To see their dancing better, if you haven't already, check out the dance practice for "History," the choreography is very unique. They have an EXO-K dance practice and an EXO-M dance practice. And it's one of their few choreographies where the two groups are not combined because they were completely separate groups in this MV.

Although "What is Love" is a love song, the MV really doesn't have a whole lot to do with the song. The storyline in the MV is all about EXO's origin story and it shows the members as they first arrived here on Earth. (The song was mostly meant to showcase EXO's vocal talent and get people to pay attention to the group, etc. However, there are parts of the lyrics that could be loosely interpreted as EXO speaking to humanity.) This was their very first pre-debut MV -- about 3 or 4 months before their debut with "Mama" -- so it's setting up EXO's storyline and it's showing the members. This was before most people really even knew who EXO were. In the EXO-K (Korean) version we only hear D.O. and Baekhyun singing. (But when you check out the EXO-M (Mandarin) version you will see Chen and Luhan are the singers.) However, in the MV we see all 12 members. The rest of the members aren't singing the song, but they are helping to tell a story. As you may have noticed, in the MV we see an eclipse is happening. The eclipse is what controls EXO's powers and it's where they get their power and strength from. EXO are aliens so staring at an eclipse or the sun doesn't affect them in the same way. After all, they come from Planet Exo, which has two suns. LOL In the scenes where we see D.O and Baekhyun singing, that is thought to be showing clues to EXO's storyline, such as the light that is streaming through the holes in the walls is thought to be representing Baekhyun's superpower, which is the ability to control light, and the fact that the room they are in is kind of disheveled could be after D.O. used his power of force. We also see scenes such as Chanyeol (a member of EXO-K) looking at a drawing of a unicorn and comparing it to a hieroglyph of a unicorn on a piece of rock, which is thought to be something to do with the fact that he is searching for Lay (an EXO-M member). Lay's symbol is a unicorn, which represents his power of healing. I think the rocks are clues that may have been left on Earth or on Planet Exo from ancient times.(We see these symbols all over the place in EXO content because, as introduced in their "Mama" MVs, each member has a symbol that represents them. Their symbols are often used kind of like a call beacon. When one member is looking for another member, or they want to send a member a message, we see a version of their symbol appear. It's a way to know who the message is coming from and it's designed to make everyone aware that it's something important that we need to pay attention to.) Think of the message on those rocks like Egyptian hieroglyphs. (In one of EXO's concert VCRs -- videos that are played during their concerts -- we see that SM connects EXO's storyline to ancient Egypt, and they show us that EXO was actually mentioned in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Therefore, the EXO members either traveled back in time or they have been on Earth many times throughout history. As you may know, there are real life theories that the Egyptian pyramids were created by aliens, which is an example of how SM connected EXO's story to real things.) In the "What Is Love" storyline I think EXO are looking for clues that someone has left from the past. Just like in real life history, often ancient civilizations have left us clues to tell their story in order to make sure whatever happened to them doesn't get repeated. Therefore, I think someone has left EXO clues, just in case sometime in the future the Red Force -- which is the evil being or group who EXO are fighting against -- was able to gain power once again. Hence, why in EXO's next pre-debut song "History" they talk about not wanting to allow whatever happened previously to repeat itself. And because it is thought that the EXO members can travel between time periods and dimensions, this could also mean that the clues could have possibly been left for them by their future selves. The future EXO members have traveled back in time to leave a message for the present-day EXO members in order to help them figure out how to stop the Red Force and prevent whatever happened in the future from taking place, etc. (Which we have now seen is possible from the events that take place within EXO's new "Let Me In" MV storyline. Yet another example of how we have to take what we know from the very beginning, and connect it to their most recent piece of the story.) The clues I think are something they need in order to find the Tree of Life and to do whatever needs to be done in order to create peace in the world once again, and free humanity and EXO from the control of the Red Force. Which will allow the Tree of Life to be whole once again and be at peace, no longer being used as a potential weapon by the Red Force, etc. In reality, I think the Red Force could be thought of as a symbol of all the things society is dealing with in the world and all the bad things that need to be fixed, such as war, hate, destruction of the environment, greed for money, corruption, etc. I interpret SM's wide-reaching message within their SM Cultured Universe and EXO's storyline as the dream of world peace. Therefore, I'm not sure we will ever see an official end to EXO's storyline or the SM Culture Universe story because World Peace is such a lofty goal that will never be accomplished fully. So, in other words, EXO's story may be an open ended one that never gets solved. I think the whole point of SM creating the SM Culture Universe storyline is because it's supposed to be a social commentary on what real life society needs to learn and do in order to create a better world. Think of everything in the SM Universe, and EXO's storyline, as a metaphor for what is happening all around us every day and what we have gone through in the past and will go through in the future if we don't learn from our mistakes, etc. In the "What Is Love" MV, we see clips from some of EXO's pre-debut teaser videos. All the clips in the MV are special clips that were originally released one at a time on their own to introduce EXO to the world, before the group's official debut. Before EXO debuted, SM released 23 teaser videos over a 3-month period and the videos showcased the members and their talents, such as Kai's special dance clips and Tao's martial arts skills, as well as told a story about EXO who are on a quest to find each other and to find clues to locate the Tree of Life, etc. Kai was the member that was featured in the most teasers -- somewhere around 10 videos. The "What is Love" MV takes clips from those teaser videos and puts them together to make the MV. Months and years later, we have also discovered that the teasers also were teasers to EXO's discography of songs. At the time, when the teasers were released, we had no idea the significance of the songs that we hear in the teasers. But now, over the years, we have discovered that the majority of the songs that were featured in EXO's pre-debut teasers were also meant to be teasers to songs that would be released as some of the main tracks of EXO's albums. All the teasers are still on SM's UA-cam channel if you want to check them out. If you watch the teasers, you will see how planned out everything EXO is involved in actually is. Most of the songs that they released even years after debut were songs that were teased to in their pre-debut teaser videos. That just goes to show you why we say that everything EXO does comes back to their storyline. :D Absolutely everything has been planned out down to the most minute detail for years in advance and for years to come.

I hope you won't be waiting a long time before watching the EXO-M versions of these MVs and songs you just reacted to. Because. if you don't watch the EXO-M version of "Mama" soon after watching the EXO-K version. you are going to forget what you saw happening in the EXO-K version and you will be less likely to catch the hidden messages and clues that connect the two MVs and their storylines together. There's a reason why both versions were released at the same time, because the storylines are similar and yet different and they only tell half the story.

In order to really see the full story you actually have to also watch the EXO-M version of "Mama." The whole point of both the EXO-K (Korean) and EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese) versions of their songs and each MV is to introduce you to EXO's concept and storyline. If you only watch the EXO-K MV, you only see half the story. "Mama" is like the first episode of EXO's drama -- it sets up everything to come in the rest of the series. And if you miss any part of the first episode you will forever be lost when it comes to the rest of EXO's story. (Plus, it would be interesting to see what you think about the song in Mandarin. The Mandarin version has a different feel to it because it features EXO-M's voices.) If you watch both versions of their "Mama" MV, you might be able to understand more about EXO's mission and everything they have been sent to Earth to do. Because in the EXO-K version the whole story focuses on the 6 K members, but in the M version it will show you the other 6 M members and explain their powers and each of their roles in the story. You only see small clips of the M members in the Korean version. But in the Chinese version the story continues, and the EXO-M members are the ones that are highlighted. Exo, as in exoskeleton, means "outer," so as a member of EXO they are outside the ordinary. The group's concept comes from the real term exoplanet, which is a term that is used for a planet that is outside our solar system, so their name was chosen to represent the fact that they are stars that are "out of this world" when it comes to their talents. SM Entertainment has all of EXO's release dates and concepts planned out for years in advance, and some of their MVs are even specifically released on days when we have had an eclipse or other planetary phenomenon. In Korean Mama is a term they use to address a leader or king or queen. It's a term of reverence and respect. It's similar to saying "Your majesty." If you watch very many historical Korean dramas you will hear the characters call the royal family, and especially the head of the royal family or leader, "Mama." So, in this song, they are speaking to the leader or deity who sent them to Earth, essentially asking, "Now that I'm here, Your Majesty what should I do? How do I fulfill what you have sent me to do?" etc. As you can see, if you want to understand EXO's story, it's very important that you pay attention to the introduction story in "Mama" because it is literally setting up EXO's storyline. The narrator is telling you EXO's whole origin story, about how EXO have been split up into two groups EXO-K and EXO-M and they are part of the same group and yet separate -- part of two worlds that come together as one, etc. And he is telling you about how the Tree of Life has been split in half to protect it from falling into the evil Red Forces' control -- each half of the tree representing one half of EXO (EXO-K and EXO-M) -- and EXO's mission is to find the two halves of the tree and reunite them to restore peace in the world. In the EXO-K version of "Mama" the members are using their powers to search for and meet up with the EXO-M members. That is why we see the K members traveling to find the M members. For example, we see Kai using his power of teleportation as he searches for all the members and Baekhyun is use his power of light and Suho with his power of water, Chanyeol with the power of fire using his Phoenix wings, D.O. with the power of force, which uses natural elements to give him super strength and Sehun controlling the wind. Because Xiumin is a member of EXO-M, we see him appear in the mirror because he is being summoned by Suho, who is an EXO-K member. As the story goes, when EXO arrived on Earth, they did not all arrive together. Their story starts out that they were dropped on Earth in different locations all over the world -- which is explained more in their individual Pathcode teaser videos as part of their "Call Me Baby" comeback promotions -- and they have to search for each other and meet up, kind of like in a quest, before they can begin to figure out how to accomplish the tasks they have been sent to Earth to do. When we see the members all together in their "Mama" MVs they are together because they are still on Planet Exo where they are still united. But when we see them separated this is when they have all been sent to Earth. They keep flashing back and forth between present moments and recent past moments. So, how I interpret the story is that at the end they aren't back together yet, but that is a scene from when they were still on Planet Exo as they are preparing to be sent to Earth. The two worlds the narrator talks about in the introduction could possibly be different dimensions, so we often see parts of their story in their MVs and other content, which could be interpreted as them being in different dimensions or time periods or different moments in history. Each of the members in EXO-K has a counterpart in EXO-M, so part of what we were seeing in this MV was them showing us which EXO-K member corresponded with which EXO-M member. For example, Suho (EXO-K) with the power of water corresponds with Xiumin (EXO-M) who has the power of frost/ice. Chanyeol (EXO-K) with the power of fire is Kris' (EXO-M) counterpart because he has the power of flight, and as you will see when you watch the EXO-M MV, Chanyeol has the power of the phoenix and Kris has the power of the dragon, which both animal spirits have fire elements and flight so they connect. D.O. (EXO-K) with the power of force is connected to Chen (EXO-M) with the power of thunder/lightning. And Sehun (EXO-K), who has the power of wind, is connected to Tao (EXO-M) who controls time. Baekhyun (K) with the power of light is connected to Lay (M) with the power of healing; and Kai (K) with teleportation is linked to Luhan (M) with the power of telekinesis, etc. That's how they maintain their bond even as members of separate groups. Also, the symbols we see in the beginning represent each of the members and it has to do with each of their powers. For instance, Kai's symbol is a pyramid and it represents teleportation, and Lay's symbol is a unicorn and it represents his power of healing, etc. (In future MVs and other things to do with EXO, when we see things like a pyramid, we know that is a reference to something to do with Kai, etc.) Even the most minute of details in EXO's content has something to do with their origin story and EXO's storyline. During that screamo part, the "tattoos" on Kai's face and body say "EXO from Exoplanet 2012" and also all of the EXO members names, or at least the 6 EXO-K members names, as well as EXO's symbol and other hidden clues to EXO's origin story. (There's a whole story even in his body paint.) And although it looks like Kai is the one that does the really high note at that moment, the voice you are hearing is actually Baekhyun. Each member in EXO-K also has a partner in EXO-M that fills the same role in their respective group. For example, Baekhyun is the main vocalist in EXO-K and Chen is the main vocalist in EXO-M; D.O. is the other main vocalist in K and Luhan was the other main vocalist in M; Chanyeol is the main rapper in K and Kris was the main rapper in M; Sehun is the lead rapper in K and Xiumin is the lead rapper in M; Kai is the main dancer in K and Lay is the main dancer in M; and then it's Suho is a lead vocalist in K and Tao was a rapper/vocalist in M, (I'm not sure how these two really work together because Tao is more of a rapper and Suho is a vocalist, but because they are the last two they are put together.) As you discovered, the majority of the gregorian chant is in English: "Shoot anonymous, anonymous; Heartless, mindless; No one who care about me ... Careless, careless (Mama: Mama in Korean means Your Majesty); Shoot anonymous, anonymous (Mama); Heartless, mindless (Mama); No one who care about me (Mama)." If you pay attention to what the whole song is about, it will give you even more insight into why EXO have been sent to Earth and what their mission is all about. EXO's storyline begins with them being sent to Earth to try and heal the world and to stop and prevent the Red Force from taking over and corrupting everything. And the story in the lyrics of "Mama" foreshadows what they will have to overcome and understand about humans and our world to accomplish their tasks. In this song EXO kind of takes humanity to task and asks us to explain why we would allow all this anger and hatred to cloud everything around us and why we don't love each other more? It's really a very beautiful message and the more you learn about EXO the more interesting the whole thing becomes. In the song the members, being aliens from another planet, are struggling to understand how we as humans could allow all these evil and bad things to happen all around us, such as war, hatred and the destruction of the environment, etc. and they are daunted by the fact that they are now tasked with figuring out how to fix it all and prevent more evil from taking place. That's why they need to find the two halves of the Tree of Life and reunite them to restore peace. EXO's story is part supernatural and Sci-fi and part based on reality, which touches on real life events and things that are really happening in the world. And from the very beginning, even during pre-debut days, and everything since then and everything yet to come, it's all connected to that storyline. Everything EXO does, including Baekhyun's and Kai's parts in SM Entertainment's supergroup SuperM, all has something to do with the concept and story that began with "Mama," and each new installment of something from the members expands a little further on EXO's story. It's all been designed to connect to EXO's storyline.

❤❤❤ EXO ❤❤❤

Your reaction to Kai scream rap in Mama is literally me hahahaha. But seriously, EXO is a different level from everybody else. Idc who your faves are, nobody has a discography to match Exo, and nobody comes close to their live performance skills. This debut was so mindblowing, it’s crazy that somehow they still kept getting better every release since. PS It’s okay if you dont understand the lore, the members themsleves hardly remember/ understand 😂 but it’s fun if you read all the fan theories 😅

34:28 nope What is Love is just Exo member discovering each other after the wreckage of their ship in History. History is where they were all on Exo planet. Mama is about all of them gathered to fight red Force on Earth, that's why they're asking "Your Majesty" if humans are worth fighting for.

The lyrics of Mama are talking about humans turning selfish as they're just envious of each other and get themselves busy in the smart world (mobiles, laptops, etc).

Since you're confused in names a bit then I'd really recommend individual guides by Caesar Oh. Those guides really explain the personalities, achievements and other information well about the members.

I wish you would have also reacted to the Exo-M version, Exo-M version completes the whole storyline.

Mama, which translates to Your Majesty, is used to address a King/Emperor but it can also be used for deities/gods. So the lyrcs to the Mama song, they are most likely pleading to their god or deity.

The MV really suits the song 😂❤

42:38 when it says "exo-k" or "korean ver." That means there's also an exo-M version, in this part of history those fast images are from the exo-M, they appeared on these mvs but they don't have proper lines or screen time, and it can cause some confusion, especially because you're not familiar with some of them like luhan,tao and kris (i don't recommend you to dive into him cause he's our biggest disappointment, he's a criminal now) but the others are really talented and gentle, luhan and tao are also huge soloists as lay in china. Chen and xiumin are also part of that, although they're koreans, that makes the things really messy, but don't worry.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

happy new year! Yay I love EXO. Would you be doing EXO separate member guides as well?

Thank you so much for the Reaction please check out Live Performance - What is Love and machine its amazing in Live❤.

❤ Thank you, Happy New Year 🎉 EXO 💖

Happy New Year and thank you very much for reacting to EXO, I love your reactions, MAMA is iconic and has a wonderful message. Please react to "Miracles In December", thank you

If you are familiar with metal music, you'll get Kai's screaming. It's more like a grit/ fry scream which is one of the metal screamings & definitely needs vocal technique to get those scream out of the vocal cord perfectly. In your free time, you should definitely watch the exo-m 'Mama' mv to learn the power of other 6 members & to know about EXO theories, you can check out Cesar Oh's concept guides for EXO.

This album is great! ❤ Hope you enjoy listening and learning about EXO. Happy Nee Year! 🎆🥳

Thank you for reacting! (You should check on your own time the MAMA mv that includes the lyrics. Everything will make sense, including Kai’s screaming part. 😊)

Yunhos voice is sooooo beautiful the adlibs Omg 🔥😢

The dropped jaw says it all! They have the vocals, visuals, choreography (although that’s not part of this), and performance ability. I spend way too much time watching them!!

Sehun is one of the most famous visuals in kpop,he is very known for his amazing proportions He got scouted by SM while eating at a mall

Sehun🥵🥵

Excited to see more of them here, i agree with do it in order, the lore gets easier to understand (but is very detailed, so you'll need some help of the videos guides

I'm very excited to see you reacting more of them, there's personal guides for each member too, if you want to watch it someday

I loved your reactions, hope you can see more of them, especially their live performances

Actually Xiumin is the lead vocals, lead dancer and sub-rapper. He's stage name Xiumin is pronounced as Shoe-Min. ❤❤❤

i just found your video and i love that you're actually taking notes.🥰🥰🥰

Wendy is truly the trojan horse of pulling new Luvies 😄 Welcome to the cult!

I seriously love your reaction 😍 its hard to see reactors genuinely trying put the effort to learn a group instead of getting over it for the sake of views. Can you please also react to individual guides by Caesar Oh, that'll make you learn about member's personalities and accomplishment well.

Kings of third generation of kpop

🥰

Hi Poppi! I clicked so fast when I saw the “stay”! I also got in stray kids this year, love their music, literally was obsessed with chk chk boom!!! Hope you enjoyed exo music, please do some more reaction videos and good luck with your journey ☺❤

Red Velvet doesn't have B sides. They have 150 singles. They choose which ones to make videos out of picking them out of a hat.
