Kai in that red suit will forever have a place in my mind 🤣🤣🤣
Lotto is a certified BANGER
Lotto sounds even greater in live version without the autotune...😂❤
Haters actually threw hate towards exo for using too much autotune in lotto. But then they proved everyone wrong by performing lotto live which sounds even better than the Studio version. You should check that out.
Chanyeol's wounded nose with a patch, and his red head rapper angst got me hostage for years!!!
I LOVE lotto. It feels both "of the time" and also still just addictive when I hear it today.
I’m not a huge autotune fan usually, but I really like Lotto for whatever reason. It really just works for me. Love Shot is actually one of my least favorite EXO titles, but the choreo is iconic so groups will probably continue to cover it
Omg exactly my thoughts. Loveshot is catchy and hella popular ofc but not my fav either. MAMA and LOVE ME RIGHT still stand strong as my fav title songs. But my fav exo song overall is a b-side instead haha !!!
@@sharu_on_kpop_cloudWhich b-side?
As an exo-l, for me loveshot is overrated only bc of the song. The choreo is damn good and that's why its so popular among non fans. Tempo deserves the hype tbh. Tempo deserves better!
@@lizminnie1734 yessss Tempo is just Oh la la la 👀 😂 the live stages are so good. Except xiumin's hair, everything was marvelous!!!!
@@carolinarufinodossantos397 PETER PAN
2nd faves would be HURT and FOREVER .
Oh I also must say, OVERDOSE is one of my fave title tracks too. I wish they would perform it live with ot9.
In order to understand what is happening in "Lotto" you have to connect the storyline with what was happening in EXO's previous "Monster" MV. Fan theories believe that "Lotto" is the prequel to "Monster." "Monster" is from EXO's EX'Act album and "Lotto" is from their EX'Act repackaged album, which came out in 2016. How I interpret things is that the story starts in "Lotto" as EXO goes undercover and works to take down the gambling ring, which is thought to probably be run by the Red Force, and now that we know about EXO's clones from their "Obsession" storyline, maybe even X-EXO are involved.
Fun fact: Kai isn't dancing in the "Lotto" MV. As you saw, Lay -- EXO-M's main dancer -- and Sehun -- EXO-K's other main dancer -- are the dancers highlighted in "Lotto." Kai was injured during this time and couldn't dance, which is why we see him sitting down in the MV.
In live performances at this time, Kai is absent when Lay is part of the performance because he is still recovering. However, when Kai is back performing the song, Lay was absent because he was busy doing solo activities in China.
In live TV network performances of "Lotto" you might also notice that they change the title of the song to "Louder" and the lyrics are changed to use the word louder instead of lotto as well. Gambling is illegal in Korea and it's one of those things that are banned from being talked about/promoted in mainstream media. So, in order to make the song TV- and radio-friendly they often have to change everything to "Louder."
I think the two stories in both "Lotto" and "Monster" actually overlap. I think both MVs take place in the same location and around the same time frame, and in each MV we see the members in different moments as they try to destroy everything to do with this gambling ring. For example, we see them breaking everything in both MVs -- they smash the car in "Lotto," and in "Monster" we see the car has now been set on fire, and they burn the money and other things in "Lotto" as well, etc.
At the end of "Lotto" we see the police or FBI have come in and they are just starting to take the members into custody, but in "Monster" it shows all the members have now been arrested. So, I see it as the fight starts in "Lotto" and continues in "Monster." If you remember, at the end of "Monster," all the members are now in custody and Baekhyun rescues them as he releases them from the back of the police van allowing them to escape, etc.
The birds we see in the cage in "Lotto" are roosters -- cock fighting roosters to be exact -- and they are another form of gambling. And the dogs are probably guard dogs like what criminal enterprises use as part of their security to deter someone from causing trouble or wanting to rob them, etc. The dogs are thought to be part of the Red Forces' security efforts. Don't worry, SM and EXO don't like animal cruelty either, that's the whole point they are trying to make. It's just another form of evil that comes with gambling.
Also, yet again, as we just saw in "Obsession", EXO are the members in all-black and X-EXO are the members in the colorful outfits with the crazy makeup and hair. Therefore, in "Monster" when we see the members in black this means they are probably the EXO members, but when we see them in the black and red outfits, we have now started to think that's supposed to be X-EXO because of the red on their outfits. Although, in "Lotto" they are pretty much in black or dark neutral colors the whole time, so that is why I think the story is being told from EXO's point of view.
You also may notice that in "Monster," and in parts of "Lotto," Chanyeol has red hair. But at the end of "Lotto" when he is being arrested, he has blond hair. I think this also might mean that the Chanyeol with red hair is his X-EXO clone, while the blond Chanyeol is the good EXO member who is undercover, trying to accomplish his tasks here on Earth and help the girl, etc. (Anytime we see something or someone with red this usually indicates it has something to do with the Red Force.)
Therefore, in "Lotto" and "Monster" I think what we are watching are the EXO members trying to take down X-EXO and the Red Force and stop the evil and corruption that the Red Force is inflicting on the world, which is depicted here as corruption through illegal gambling.
We are not really sure what the girl takes from Chanyeol at the end of "Lotto", but it definitely wasn't money. If you pay attention to the lyrics, one of the English lines is, "I don't need no money." That is why they burn the huge stack of cash. Most theories agree that the currency that EXO values the most is flowers. There is an overwhelming use of flowers in many of their MVs, and as we see in their "Love Shot" MV for example, they aren't collecting money but flowers. And in EXO-CBX's "Hey Mama" and "Blooming Day" MVs and in EXO's "Love Me Right" MV, etc. we see them with flowers.
My theory is that the girl is somehow connected to EXO's quest to find and protect the Tree of Life and that is why at the end of "Lotto" we see her secretly take something out of Chanyeol's hand -- which if you pause the MV and zoom in, you will see looks like a small video tape -- to somehow help them in their quest. The video tape is thought to be the video that D.O. is filming with the camcorder in the middle of "Lotto." It's still unclear at this point how the girl fits in the storyline, but I think, or at least I hope, that in the future we will discover more about her and what significance she has within the story. (We also think the video tape is connected to the fact that we see D.O. in the room with all the film reels in EXO's "Electric Kiss" MV.)
Some say the "girl" that EXO is always singing about and you sometimes see in their MVs -- like in "Lotto" -- is a manifestation of the heart of the Tree of Life and that is why the members are always rescuing or protecting the girl, etc. EXO's whole mission on Earth is to find and protect the Tree of Life. That's why all their songs are about being in love with a girl or being controlled by the power of the girl, such as in the lyrics of EXO's "Overdose" for example. Or how they talk about knowing they are bad news for the girl but they want her anyway and they can't help it, but in the end, they know they might destroy her -- as they say in "Monster," etc. etc. When you think of the girl as the heart of the Tree of Life the mystery begins to unfold even more.
I have seen this MV dozens of times, and each time I watch it I still see something new and am still working to unravel more clues. Everything that EXO does is connected to their concept and storyline, which has been going on for more than 11 years now, and I literally mean almost everything. However, what makes it even more difficult to understand is that nothing is ever in chronological order and SM has never explained any of the story. They leave it up to fans to figure out what is happening and connect the pieces. Although, "Lotto" and "Monster" are the two EXO MVs that have me the most confused. I'm still struggling to really grasp the full story those MVs are trying to tell. I think part of the reason why I find these two MVs so confusing, is the fact that they depart the most from the linear storyline and the story jumps back and forth between the two MVs so much that it's difficult to put the events in order to really make a clear picture.
I HATE autotune with passion, but something about lotto just works right I don't even know how to explain it, maybe the melody maybe the way the vocals still somehow shine through even with the heavy autotune
Idk what is it but it works and it's a banger
You should watch the Live performances of Lotto. You can hear their real voices. As per the choreography, it's amazing. Lotto grew on me. It's not my cup of tea at first, but, Baekhyun really ate this song. 🤭
As with most of EXO's songs and MVs -- such as "Love Shot" -- the song and the story in the MV are two separate things. There are two messages that the story tells in the MV. Yes, the story in the MV is loosely based on the lyrics of the song, but the main point of the MV is mostly to tell another part of EXO's story.
There are 8 members in "Love Shot." Lay was not able to participate in this MV.
In "Love Shot" I'm not sure why EXO first ended up at the gas/service station or the cinema/movie theater, but the story in this MV is all about how the Red Force is trying to corrupt and control them. For example, supposedly, most fans agree that Xiumin may have been captured by the Red Force -- or maybe it's his X-EXO clone. If you notice, Xiumin is squaring off with a group of guys with guns, but a few seconds later we see someone with a mask and when the mask is removed we see that it's Xiumin, which seems to show that he may not be who we think he is. (We also see Xiumin talking to or listening to someone or something on a red phone.)
And when Chen is sitting in the theater watching the film, we see what fans agree is Suho, as the leader, probably trying to protect the members and prevent Chen from watching the film by covering his eyes. Whatever is being played on the movie screen is thought to probably be the Red Force trying to control EXO. (Which is now thought to also be connected to the fact that we see Chen and Xiumin in the theater in EXO's new "Let Me In" MV.)
We also see references to the movie screen with Chen being projected on the screen in their "Lucky One" MV and the scene where Suho is running through the forest in their "For Life" MV, etc. These instances seem to be showing times when the Red Force are using the videos to brainwash EXO to keep them incapacitated so they don't try to fight back or escape, etc.
In "Love Shot," one theory is that the members are fighting to discover who has been corrupted by the Red Force and who may not be who they say they are, etc., which I see as a sort of continuation of the story in their "Tempo" MV. This is why we see them being very suspicious pointing their guns -- which are filled with alcohol -- at each other. (Get it? The song is called "Love Shot" so it has a double meaning: Love Shot like a gun and Love Shot like a shot of alcohol. :D)
We also see a glass cube with a red liquid inside, which seems to be part of a theme that connects across all of EXO's storyline. We a see asimilar cube in several of EXO's other MVs.
The flowers have two purposes, one is they represent Love and EXO is collecting love, but also the flowers are a big part of EXO's storyline. There has been a flower theme that continues throughout all of EXO's MVs. The flowers are thought to be something that EXO is collecting and trying to get rid of to prevent the Red Force from being able to control people, etc. They often collect the flowers and then burn them, like we see in "Love Shot" and in EXO-CBX's "Hey Mama" MV. Blue roses also have some sort of significance, but I am not sure what yet -- we see EXO with a blue rose in their concert performances of "Lightsaber" and we see Sehun with a blue rose in "Love Shot." Some of what happens in this story is explained by past MVs and other parts will hopefully be explained as the story continues in future MVs.
Money is the root of all evil, and people's obsession with material goods and wealth could be one of the ways the Red Force is using to control humanity. Which is why we see EXO trying to take down the gambling ring in their "Monster" and "Lotto" MVs and why they talk about money in EXO-CBX's Japanese song "Ka-Ching," etc. As you just saw, they also burn the giant stack of money in "Monster"/"Lotto." It's not an isolated incident, so that's why we see them burning money in "Love Shot" as well. It's obviously a significant thing within EXO's storyline.
We also see that everything in the MV was taking place during an eclipse. The eclipse is what controls EXO's powers and it's where they get their power and strength from. So, that is why we see in most of their MVs that they focus on the moon or show an eclipse taking place, etc. However, you should make note, in "Love Shot" it's not a regular eclipse. We see two moons covering the sun. Which, in the introduction narration in the beginning of their debut "Mama" MV, they point out how EXO comes from a "planet" with two suns. Each sun is part of a parallel universe that is alike and yet different. Therefore, this could be an indication that they aren't on Earth in this MV, or they may be trapped within another dimension. And if they are still trapped within the Red Force's maze, the Red Force could have them in a dream-like state and some of what we see happening could be happening within their minds.
Baekhyun is actually one of the main characters in EXO's storyline, so he is often set apart or singled out in EXO's MVs. He is often the one that stands alone or is highlighted in the story. For example, in their "Power" MV Baekhyun is sort of separated from the other members, which seems to suggest maybe Baekhyun is the only member that hasn't been corrupted by the Red Force. So that is thought to be why in "Tempo" and in "Love Shot" we see Baekhyun standing on top of the building looking down on the rest of the members, almost as if he is observing them from another dimension or from another time period. Baekhyun is often the one who is going behind the sense to help EXO. For example, as we see him disguised as a member of the police as he rescues the other members from the back of the police van in "Monster", and we see Baekhyun facing off with and confronting Xiumin in "Love Shot." :D
We also see scenes in "Love Shot" where the members are sometimes dressed in all black leather and other scenes where we see them dressed in red and black leather, which look very similar to the outfits they were wearing in "Monster."
And now that we have discovered that the Red Force has created X-EXO, EXO's evil clones, as part of EXO's "Obsession" MV story, I am also starting to think that maybe in "Love Shot" we aren't just seeing EXO. I think maybe when we see the members dressed in bright colors -- for example, when they are in their suits -- this might be X-EXO and when we see the scenes where they are in black, this could be EXO. Because in "Obsession" we find out that the members in all black are EXO the good guys, and when we see them in the colorful outfits with the crazy hair and makeup that is X-EXO.
This could also explain why Kai is dressed in a red suit. Although I am sure their stylists put him in red because he looks really good in it, I think SM chose it because it's another hidden message within the storyline. Usually, whenever we see red in EXO's MVs this has something to do with the Red Force, so for a long time I have been wondering why then would they put Kai in a red suit? However, now that we know about the X-EXO members, I am starting to think that when we see the members in their colorful suits and clothing in "Love Shot" this is actually the X-EXO members. Therefore, Kai in the red suit could be under the control of the Red Force, as well as the other members when we see them in suits, etc.
I also think maybe the members who are collecting all the flowers in "Love Shot" are really X-EXO, as part of some evil plot. If we look at the members' expressions and the outfits they are wearing in the scenes where we see them collecting the flowers, this reminds me a lot of what they looked like in their "Ko Ko Bop" MV.
Since "Obsession," theories now think that what the "Ko Ko Bop" MV was showing us was X-EXO right after they were created as they are becoming acclimated to the world and learning how to use their powers, etc. Which would explain why everything in the "Ko Ko Bop" MV is so brightly colored as well.
But you should also know that no one really knows for sure what is happening in any of EXO's MVs. There are well known theories and storylines that are accepted within the fandom, which we think might explain what is happening in each MV. And there are theories about how each MV is connected and where each falls within their larger storyline, but nothing is set in stone. Fan theories are constantly evolving and changing with every introduction of a new piece of the puzzle.
You should react to their killing voice, although I wished the song selection would have been better they really sound good like always
ЕХО великолепны!

You are not alone, a lot of people seem to forget about the existence of dont fight the feeling although it is a really good song and a mini album with very good bsides.
