And you are right just because you're under a big company doesn't mean you don't have to work hard to get where you are EXO worked hard just like everybody else. And the last part you see were chanyeol crying is because 2017 Mama Awards really did EXO dirty they were nominated for a bunch of awards where they were dominating and things went horribly wrong. EXO only won one award even though they were nominated and leading in so many others. It was so bad a famous presenter said that they were crying because they thought they let their fans down after all that hard work of voting. They poked fun at them and the show even injured and pushed EXO-L EXO was really upset
That's when EXO stopped attending year end awards show after 2017 and did their own year end concert which was just meant for EXO-L. Kai said "forget about awards show and music festival, we just want to spend time with EXO-L"...that's how much EXO love EXO-L ❤️
This is from exotics (first fandom name/stan exo since day 1) a short background about EXO! Hope y'all read this, it's worthy of your time. EXO rookie heart never changed. Despite of the huge success that they achieved, they stayed humble and down to earth, never letting the hype change who they are. EXO started the journey with 12 people, supporting each other with 11 people, keep being strong with 10 people, and continue being closer and stronger with 9 people. OT12 taught us to love, OT11 taught us to be loyal, OT10 taught us to be strong, and OT9 taught us to stay until the end. When EXO debuted in 2012, they got lots of hate. EXO got lots of hate since the first day they were introduced to KPOP industry. People said that EXO only popular because they come from a big company. They believed in the oh-so-called "BIG 3 PRIVILEDGE CARD" that EXO had, that brought them to success. " SM ENT BIGGEST FAILURE " " SM ENT FIRST FLOP GROUP UPON DEBUT " " SM ENT FAILURE AND A WASTE OF INVESTMENT " That's what they called EXO that time, as we all know that SM ENT produces Legendary Groups and Artists in the industry. People used to called EXO as "SM Ent's biggest failure" because EXO did not reach that "SM EXPECTATION" and people said that debuting EXO is a huge mistake that SM Ent had done. When EXO debuted, people laughed because of their superpower concept. They make fun of EXO. Remember back then, when people called EXO nugu. People always be like, "EXO who?" since EXO is not popular at that time, because of that, EXO had to join street events in order to gain popularity. Even if they walk casually on the street in South Korea, no one knows EXO. Except for a few EXO fans at that time. At their debut they had to perform at small events and hold fan sign events with supposedly 30+ fans, but it was hard for them to atleast reach 20 fans that time, on their first fan sign event they only have 18 fans. When EXO performed in 2012 Chungju Rice Event, they got paid with bags of rice. There was a picture of Kyungsoo on the said event wherein he was seen holding bag of rice and kept it safe with his arms the whole time and he was smiling at it like it was the most precious thing. On 2013, GROWL was called "SOUTH KOREA'S NATIONAL ANTHEM". It was their hit song that brought them to more success. But still people said it was only a "ONE HIT WONDER". On the same year, they revived the physical market after 12 years drought. They came back in early 2014 with a mini album "OVERDOSE". Remember that the year 2014 was the worst year for EXO. 2 members left the group, Kris Wu left first in May 2014 followed by Lu Han in October 2014. It was also the same year when SM Ent's stock dropped that's why they announced EXO Baekhyun and GIRLS' GENERATION Taeyeon dating scandal in June 2014. EXO still released their winter album entitled "SING FOR YOU" on December 2014, eventhough everyone speculates that 2014 was EXO's downfall and EXO was over, that they wouldn't survive after the members lawsuits and a dating scandal. EXO never complained how hard it was nor how they couldn't keep it on. EXO never wants us to worry about them, because they didn't want to see us in tears. Remember the time when EXO-M nearly got into a car accident, Baekhyun and Sehun cried the most, and Kai joined them to cry? Remember the time, when Sehun cried during a radio program, Sehun always cry after getting scolded by his hyungs. He'll cry and say "I always pray for my hyungs before I sleep at night."? Remember the time, when Kris left EXO that time Tao was sleeping at their dorm. Tao woke up, so when the members arrived he asked them where Kris is, because he was nowgere to be seen, but the members stayed quiet. They didn't told Tao that Kris left EXO that day because they don't want him to cry? Remember the time when Tao fell on stage? The time when he was severely ill but still went for photoshoot? Remember in 2016 when Jongin spent half of a year in a wheelchair and almost fainted on stage? Remember the time when D.O stayed with Kai all night and took good care of him because he was ill? It was also the same year when Yixing hurt himself and couldn't stop bleeding. Yixing was known for having hemophilia and it is a lifetime disorder. Up until now there's no cure yet, yes there was a medicines but it doesn't really cure hemophilia, it is use to prevent bleeding. Remember Baekhyun almost fainted on stage but still held on and continued to dance Love Me Right and sing it live? Remember when Chanyeol had to run off the stage to use oxygen mask? Chanyeol was known for having breathing problems and suffered from "HYPOXIA" a deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues. It was their concert performance in Osaka, Japan, he collapsed and even used oxygen mask and Sehun said, "stay still". Then he immediately stood up after hearing EXO-Ls cheering. EXO started with nothing and once labeled as their company's biggest mistake, but they proved everyone wrong. 🌸DABEME: "Best Artist of the Decade" 🌸COMICBOOK.

Wow! Thanks for writing this all down. We read every word. We are always learning something new about EXO and thank you so much for contributing to that knowledge! We really appreciate it, and we certainly appreciate you!
Hello again ladies thank you for watching the last part EXO and EXO-L have one of the strongest bond in K-pop we are literally like family. Promise is one of many songs EXO has dedicated to us fans 2014 as you know was a really bad year for us. Two members leaving the group and people haters warning EXO to break up just because of it so the song promise was an apology to the fans EXO believe they broke their promise to stay 12 members forever. But EXO has never disappointed us
"Promise" is such a beautiful song. They truly connect with EXO-Ls. How can you not appreciate a band like this who care about their fans so much? ❤️ Thank you so much for watching with us and giving us your input! Appreciate it. =)
Doesn't matter how many times I watch part 2 of this video about EXO and EXOLs, I always cry. The bond between EXO and their fans is really something so strong and so intense. Really, the feelings always seem very much mutual because EXO makes you feel so important and unique for them. It's just very special :') I love being an EXO-L.
Whenever I listen to Angel, it just remind me that the concert is ending. Actual fact EXO didn't sing Promise after their 2nd concert Exo'luxion though this is a song for EXO-L, maybe bcos it brings back lots of sad memories...
Thank you for reacting to this 2nd part. all idols really give fan service to their supporters but i feel like with EXO, they do it with sincerity, gratitude and love. EXO celebrated their 10th year last April. So many new groups have come and gone but i am in awe of those who still stayed despite their lack of/minimal group activities since members went to military enlistment. until now, exol's have been a force to reckon with in popularity votings, facing the current bigger groups. i am new to the fandom, just last year when i started to be an exo-l. i have yet to see them all in one room but I am willing to wait. we don't know what awaits EXO when every member has finished enlistment. technically, their contract with SM has already expired. but whether they renew or not, exo-l's will continue to support them. even before hiatus era, SM has already neglected them in favor of the younger groups. poor promotions, out-of-stock album during pre-order of Obsession which could have been a million seller. Imagine Obsession as one of their most praised era globally but only the non-million seller album. but illion sellers or not, we're here for EXO
It's really great to hear new EXO-L join the fandom during EXO enlistment and pandemic era. Welcome to EXO planet 💕 As what Kai said "even if u started liking us at different times, the feeling of love is the same" ❤️
This comment is everything! 🥰❤️ Love it! I hope that their agency will promote them more in the future. That sucks that they are focusing a lot of time and energy to just their younger groups. :( Thank you for sharing part of your EXO journey with us. We really appreciate it.
Exo will forever be in my heart, a milestone in my memories.❤️ I actually wasn’t really into singers or bands, I saw them as stuck up and unappreciative to their fans. I got into Exo music and just listened casually until I got to this song “Promise” after researching the reason for the song I watched the live and read the translated lyrics and realized that they had something more with their fans than normal. I realized I had to give the same love back and I’ve never regretted it. Since 2017 they have been there and I hope more people give them the love that they deserve.❤️🥰🥰 glad you liked this video!❤️
The song is super sad because they felt guilty after members left because they told fans that they would stay together “as one” so they essentially apologized in this song and made a new promise to always be there for fans.
There is so much I can say about MAMA, but to summarize: F them. I’m glad EXO went to Hawaii and did EXO Ladder instead the next year. It was glorious seeing their posts and them being silly. 😂 I keep thinking of Suho and Sehun hitting the McD’s and meeting fans. I don’t know if you noticed, but Baekhyun was speaking to the fandom informally at the awards. He had previously done it, gotten hate, and went straight back here to do it again. We can’t help it if he treats us like family. (we’ve been daughter-zoned btw) Promise never fails to make me tear up, especially after all that EXO has been dragged through since 2020. So many fans are still here supporting the guys, whether old or new and You can see they really appreciate it. We know Suho knows we miss EXO and is making every festival a chance to say our slogan, and that he will come back with the members, even when promoting himself. Though I have little faith in the company doing right by the members or the group, I have faith in the members and their own decisions. I feel so proud of our fans showing the guys support at their recent overseas schedules, letting them know we’re here wherever they go. I am looking forward to what they do next!
Wow! Thank you so much for the extra info about them Re: HI and Baekhyun being informal (actually, we didn’t notice that! Thanks for pointing that out). Love that the guys are performing at various festivals. I saw that Chen and Kai were at the Australia festival this weekend, which is super cool! 😊❤️
The kpop industry is brutal no matter if it's a small or large record label. Passing auditions and years of training doesn't guarantee a debut. Read horror stories about trainees being worked to the bone, living in run-down dorms and receiving their allowances late (sometimes not at all) but the conditions have improved so much for 4th gen idols. Later, even if they managed to debut they may eventually disband for various reasons. I've also read about how many of these idols will see very little money for the first couple of years as they need to pay back the label for marketing them (???!). I love how much gratitude that idols have for their fans but they also need to realize that they've given us as much joy as we have given to them.
Agree with you 100%. Every idol I’ve seen whether it be from a small or big agency, they always come out as being so grateful. They never seem to forget where they came from and how hard they worked to get there. 💕
Thank you so much girls..... They loves us thousands times more than we do........ They made our standeds so HIGH..........that's why we don't need more.....coz they gives us all....... PROMISE is such a ICONIC ,MEMORABLE song of their discography .....wrote,composed by LAY in chinese ,korean lyrics by chen and chanyeol .....it's also titles as L- 1485......... Not only PROMISE ....made for Exol's there is more songs for us like EXO ....."sing for you" "lucky" Angel" " Heaven "stronger" for life"......also black pearl for international fans who can't follow them closely ....and they always sing when they end of their concerts "Don't go....and one song from their OBSESSION album "butterfly effects "these two songs tells that their afraid of we ,fans someday leaves them ...their fear of being alone .....and they always said that in song been through ..in the end of the the day "you are the BEST i"ve been through ....... They loves us ...we can't imagine how much....they don't want disappoint us with one small mistakes ...they always take too much attention when it's comes to their fans... . And our silver ocean shine brightly ...loves to see.... Our lightstick AERIBONG is too pretty .....if you guys don't know it's the first blutoothed lightstick in kpop ..it's light up to twelve different colors ...in concerts or their performances if you connected via blutoothed in EXO main control panel it's lights ups,changes to colors in one at the same times .....EXO silver ocean always smart and coloful in concerts it's shine more like in a club ...😁..... Yes there is no point to talk about the fans crowed in their concerts stadiums ....mostly over 66000 peoples at once....just remind you girls they stills holds the records for fastest sold out concerts tickes in the world in 2017 ........till today it's unbreakable record...i know already if they have OT9 concerts in future they will definitely dominates the kpop world like upsides down ......i think we have their comeback in october as sub unit or group vise ..it's ongoing rumors in SM project schedule ......hope it will true 🤞 ....... Once again tammy and beth .....thank you so much...
Thank you for watching with us and providing such amazing insight as always. We have been so excruciating busy so sorry for the delay in responding so late! 💕 Omg. I love all this info that we didn’t know about. I didn’t know that the aeribong was the first Bluetooth lightstick! They really pave the way even in technology too! How cool is that! Really can’t wait to see them one day. It’s going to be amazing if we ever get that chance. 💕 I’d love to see OT9. We got notice of a music festival in LA called KAMP. I’m hoping we can score tickets so we can see Monsta X AND Kai. Those are the two acts most excited about! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi, ladies, thank you again for this reaction! Tbh, it's hard not to feel emotional listening to THE PROMISE. It just shows the very strong bond between EXO and EXO-L. I hope this relationship lasts a lifetime! Please react next to the 3-part series, EXO ROAD OF A LEGEND, to better appreciate this extraordinary band: ua-cam.com/video/VdTPeJFD-Kk/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/2N3mBwLyayU/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/TjItHJMqPG8/v-deo.html
Hi! Promise is such a beautiful song with great meaning. I’m sure the relationship will last a lifetime for sure. I say that with confidence, and we are new to the fandom. ☺️ I only say this because you guys have been through a lot together, you know? Thank you for this. We’ll add it to the schedule!
I was an bts army till 2020 from 2016 back then exo was very huge in kpop and every big awards were there and i used to hate them for being so much popular and when I started to discover exo what's special about them, I truly discovered el Dorado of kpop seriously these guys are legends and every concert performance songs and all their solos are greater than now a days popular group mvs i truly love ❤these guys and now am a huge exo L
Thank you for sharing a part of your story with us! This is so sweet and touching. I'm so glad you enjoy EXO and their music and gave them a chance. I'm glad you're an EXO-L now. =)
Thank you for this! I want to start my comment just when I started watching because I want to correct something before I forget. Idk if you'll realize this later on, but EXO is family videos were created 4 years ago for EXOs debut anniversary. This year they had their 10th anniversary in April. EXO-L, the fandom was created in 2014 in August hence we have two year difference. Before 2014 EXO-Ls didn't have official name, they called themselves exotics mostly, but there were other names like squids for example. So yeah, that video was posted for EXOs 6th anniversary and not EXO-Ls XD hope that makes sense. Also, are you going to do a video for Chen? You skipped him while doing the compilations for the members (again, I'm writing this in the beginning of the video, so ignore it if you mention it later on)
And you are right just because you're under a big company doesn't mean you don't have to work hard to get where you are EXO worked hard just like everybody else. And the last part you see were chanyeol crying is because 2017 Mama Awards really did EXO dirty they were nominated for a bunch of awards where they were dominating and things went horribly wrong. EXO only won one award even though they were nominated and leading in so many others. It was so bad a famous presenter said that they were crying because they thought they let their fans down after all that hard work of voting.

That's when EXO stopped attending year end awards show after 2017 and did their own year end concert which was just meant for EXO-L. Kai said "forget about awards show and music festival, we just want to spend time with EXO-L"...that's how much EXO love EXO-L ❤️
Ugh, so heartbreaking!
And they even poked fun at them?! And injured an EXO-L?! That's infuriating!
@@LaChiMoLaLaOT7 they even took away EXO-L lightstick and push EXO-L. EXO was so upset that they cried at backstage
This is from exotics (first fandom name/stan exo since day 1) a short background about EXO!
Hope y'all read this, it's worthy of your time.

So so sweet! Love that you love being an EXO-L. This def shows how special this group is to you. ❤️
Their ENCORE song is actually DON'T GO but sometimes its different... other songs like PROMISE, ANGEL and LUCKY.
Whenever I listen to Angel, it just remind me that the concert is ending.
Actual fact EXO didn't sing Promise after their 2nd concert Exo'luxion though this is a song for EXO-L, maybe bcos it brings back lots of sad memories...
@@woodstock8d yup, but since they used to sing this back then i just include the song but this past years its always been DONT GO or LUCKY.
We’ll def will check out the other songs soon! Thank you for sharing the encore songs!
Thank you for reacting to this 2nd part. all idols really give fan service to their supporters but i feel like with EXO, they do it with sincerity, gratitude and love. EXO celebrated their 10th year last April. So many new groups have come and gone but i am in awe of those who still stayed despite their lack of/minimal group activities since members went to military enlistment. until now, exol's have been a force to reckon with in popularity votings, facing the current bigger groups. i am new to the fandom, just last year when i started to be an exo-l. i have yet to see them all in one room but I am willing to wait. we don't know what awaits EXO when every member has finished enlistment. technically, their contract with SM has already expired. but whether they renew or not, exo-l's will continue to support them. even before hiatus era, SM has already neglected them in favor of the younger groups. poor promotions, out-of-stock album during pre-order of Obsession which could have been a million seller. Imagine Obsession as one of their most praised era globally but only the non-million seller album. but illion sellers or not, we're here for EXO
It's really great to hear new EXO-L join the fandom during EXO enlistment and pandemic era. Welcome to EXO planet 💕 As what Kai said "even if u started liking us at different times, the feeling of love is the same" ❤️
This comment is everything! 🥰❤️ Love it!
I hope that their agency will promote them more in the future. That sucks that they are focusing a lot of time and energy to just their younger groups. :(
Thank you for sharing part of your EXO journey with us. We really appreciate it.
Exo will forever be in my heart, a milestone in my memories.❤️ I actually wasn’t really into singers or bands, I saw them as stuck up and unappreciative to their fans. I got into Exo music and just listened casually until I got to this song “Promise” after researching the reason for the song I watched the live and read the translated lyrics and realized that they had something more with their fans than normal. I realized I had to give the same love back and I’ve never regretted it. Since 2017 they have been there and I hope more people give them the love that they deserve.❤️🥰🥰 glad you liked this video!❤️
The song is super sad because they felt guilty after members left because they told fans that they would stay together “as one” so they essentially apologized in this song and made a new promise to always be there for fans.
😊😊
Ugh, love this so much! Thank you for sharing part of your story to us. 💕💕💕
This song is totally sad. They shouldn’t feel guilty. They’ve never let EXO-Ls down from what we could see. ❤️❤️❤️
I believe now you ladies can react to EXO's Ultimate Guide video that will show you more about the powers and storylines and history.
Yes, this will be posted on Friday (6 PM PST). =)
There is so much I can say about MAMA, but to summarize: F them. I’m glad EXO went to Hawaii and did EXO Ladder instead the next year. It was glorious seeing their posts and them being silly. 😂 I keep thinking of Suho and Sehun hitting the McD’s and meeting fans.
I don’t know if you noticed, but Baekhyun was speaking to the fandom informally at the awards. He had previously done it, gotten hate, and went straight back here to do it again. We can’t help it if he treats us like family. (we’ve been daughter-zoned btw)
Promise never fails to make me tear up, especially after all that EXO has been dragged through since 2020. So many fans are still here supporting the guys, whether old or new and You can see they really appreciate it. We know Suho knows we miss EXO and is making every festival a chance to say our slogan, and that he will come back with the members, even when promoting himself. Though I have little faith in the company doing right by the members or the group, I have faith in the members and their own decisions. I feel so proud of our fans showing the guys support at their recent overseas schedules, letting them know we’re here wherever they go. I am looking forward to what they do next!
Wow! Thank you so much for the extra info about them Re: HI and Baekhyun being informal (actually, we didn’t notice that! Thanks for pointing that out).
Love that the guys are performing at various festivals. I saw that Chen and Kai were at the Australia festival this weekend, which is super cool! 😊❤️
Exo always been sweet to fans..it was make my heart melt....
Love it! ❤️
We are one! Thanks to react to this.
This fandom is really strong.
EXO saranghaja!!
Thank you for watching with us and again, thanks for the rec!
Thank you so much ladies, next react to exo road to a legend thanks😊
Thank you for watching!
We will queue this up, but we will be watching EXO Arcade next.
The kpop industry is brutal no matter if it's a small or large record label. Passing auditions and years of training doesn't guarantee a debut. Read horror stories about trainees being worked to the bone, living in run-down dorms and receiving their allowances late (sometimes not at all) but the conditions have improved so much for 4th gen idols.
Later, even if they managed to debut they may eventually disband for various reasons. I've also read about how many of these idols will see very little money for the first couple of years as they need to pay back the label for marketing them (???!).
I love how much gratitude that idols have for their fans but they also need to realize that they've given us as much joy as we have given to them.
Agree with you 100%. Every idol I’ve seen whether it be from a small or big agency, they always come out as being so grateful. They never seem to forget where they came from and how hard they worked to get there. 💕
Thank you so much girls.....
They loves us thousands times more than we do........
They made our standeds so HIGH..........that's why we don't need more.....coz they gives us all.......
PROMISE is such a ICONIC ,MEMORABLE song of their discography .....wrote,composed by LAY in chinese ,korean lyrics by chen and chanyeol .....it's also titles as L- 1485.........
Not only PROMISE ....made for Exol's there is more songs for us like
EXO ....."sing for you" "lucky" Angel" " Heaven "stronger" for life"......also black pearl for international fans who can't follow them closely ....and they always sing when they end of their concerts "Don't go....and one song from their OBSESSION album "butterfly effects "these two songs tells that their afraid of we ,fans someday leaves them ...their fear of being alone .....and they always said that in song been through ..in the end of the the day "you are the BEST i"ve been through .......
They loves us ...we can't imagine how much....they don't want disappoint us with one small mistakes ...they always take too much attention when it's comes to their fans... .
And our silver ocean shine brightly ...loves to see....
Our lightstick AERIBONG is too pretty .....if you guys don't know it's the first blutoothed lightstick in kpop ..it's light up to twelve different colors ...in concerts or their performances if you connected via blutoothed in EXO main control panel it's lights ups,changes to colors in one at the same times .....EXO silver ocean always smart and coloful in concerts it's shine more like in a club ...😁.....
Yes there is no point to talk about the fans crowed in their concerts stadiums ....mostly over 66000 peoples at once....just remind you girls they stills holds the records for fastest sold out concerts tickes in the world in 2017 ........till today it's unbreakable record...i know already if they have OT9 concerts in future they will definitely dominates the kpop world like upsides down ......i think we have their comeback in october as sub unit or group vise ..it's ongoing rumors in SM project schedule ......hope it will true 🤞 .......
Once again tammy and beth .....thank you so much...
Thank you for watching with us and providing such amazing insight as always. We have been so excruciating busy so sorry for the delay in responding so late! 💕
Omg. I love all this info that we didn’t know about. I didn’t know that the aeribong was the first Bluetooth lightstick! They really pave the way even in technology too! How cool is that!
Really can’t wait to see them one day. It’s going to be amazing if we ever get that chance. 💕 I’d love to see OT9. We got notice of a music festival in LA called KAMP. I’m hoping we can score tickets so we can see Monsta X AND Kai. Those are the two acts most excited about! ❤️❤️❤️
Every time I listened to "promise" song makes me tear up 😭😭😭 and maybe this is my 100th time I listened to it 😂😂😂😂
I get you! The song really pulls on your heart strings. It’s amazing how music can do that to us. ❤️ That’s why we love it so much.
crying again watching this....
Noooo! We don't want you to cry. =((( Hopefully those are tears of relief that they're OK now! ❤️
Exo and Exo-ls together make the most beautiful family 😭🤍💕
Let's be together always and forever 🤍💕😭
They certainly do. 🥰❤️
I'm crying again ...
Aw!!! ❤️ I hope those are tears of joy and relief. We want you to be happy. 💕💕💕
Before I'm only one waiting for EXO to comeback but now I got back up may niece and nephew are now waiting for thier comeback 🥰

Hi, ladies, thank you again for this reaction!
Tbh, it's hard not to feel emotional listening to THE PROMISE. It just shows the very strong bond between EXO and EXO-L. I hope this relationship lasts a lifetime!
Please react next to the 3-part series, EXO ROAD OF A LEGEND, to better appreciate this extraordinary band:

@@LaChiMoLaLaOT7 Thanks again and more power to your channel, ladies!!!
I was an bts army till 2020 from 2016 back then exo was very huge in kpop and every big awards were there and i used to hate them for being so much popular and when I started to discover exo what's special about them, I truly discovered el Dorado of kpop seriously these guys are legends and every concert performance songs and all their solos are greater than now a days popular group mvs i truly love ❤these guys and now am a huge exo L
Thank you for sharing a part of your story with us! This is so sweet and touching.
I'm so glad you enjoy EXO and their music and gave them a chance. I'm glad you're an EXO-L now. =)
Thank you for this!
I want to start my comment just when I started watching because I want to correct something before I forget.
Idk if you'll realize this later on, but EXO is family videos were created 4 years ago for EXOs debut anniversary. This year they had their 10th anniversary in April. EXO-L, the fandom was created in 2014 in August hence we have two year difference. Before 2014 EXO-Ls didn't have official name, they called themselves exotics mostly, but there were other names like squids for example.
So yeah, that video was posted for EXOs 6th anniversary and not EXO-Ls XD hope that makes sense.
Also, are you going to do a video for Chen? You skipped him while doing the compilations for the members (again, I'm writing this in the beginning of the video, so ignore it if you mention it later on)
Yes, it makes sense! Thank you for clarifying and correcting us. 💕
Yes, you’ll see Chen make an appearance tmwr!
I hope u can react to a road of the legend. This can show u all exo struggles
Thank you. We will add to our list! :)
❣️❣️❣️
❤️❤️❤️
OT12 stan here.
That's awesome!
