The one rapping is Chanyeol The one with the scar is Sehun The one with red hair is Suho The one with white hair is Baekhyun Green hair and crop top is Kai The one with high note is Chen 3 members aren’t in the video
EXO as a groups has an awesome concept. In Kpop, a lot of groups have concepts as a group and/or storylines that run throughout their music videos. EXO's concept is basically that they are aliens, they came from a world called EXO Planet, and they all have specific superpowers. Some of them include fire, force, teleportation, telekinesis, healing and light. In this comeback, they addressed a growing storyline where there are opposite doppelgängers of themselves called X-EXO who are bent on destroying earth. X-EXO have the more creepy/unnatural styling in the music video. You can see some scenes where the members look normal, this is regular EXO, and then some scenes where the same members have scars, contacts, or cool hairstyles and makeup and that is X-EXO. In the music video they're battling their clones, like the fire fight that the rapper (Chanyeol) was having with his double. And in the end, you see the neck-snapping move they did and it switches the scene from EXO to X-EXO, symbolizing that X-EXO has won and ultimately defeated the "good" EXO. Honestly it's just a cool ass video with a cool ass story.
EXO made SM entertainment more famous they even built a building with just one song Anyways exo has a lot of rnb songs and they try different genres too
Actually EXO have a concept that they are from EXO planet(EXO means outer) a planet out of our solar system(first group to have a storyline ever) Each member has his own superpower and they are chased by the Red Force (brief explanation) EVEYTHING EXO do is related to their concept(not only MVs which ofc are connected) ,there are many theory videos on yt about it,it’s very interesting and super detailed In Obsession is shows the fight between EXO and X-EXO(bad alter egos the Red force made) in the end it shows that the planet cought fire that means that their bad side won
YESSSS exo literally has top notch vocalists and songs omg literally all masterpieces. Groups like exo, nct, shinee have title tracks that are💯 So shinee are exo’s bigger bros, and exo & shinee are nct’s. Basically they all besties. There’s even a group that consists of a few of shinee, exo and nct in one, called SuperM.
EXO is the first ever K-Pop group to debut with a concept and story line which are interwoven into their MVs and concert VCRs. They started that trend. Critics have widely considered them vocal kings for their top-tier vocal prowess. They're actors (film, small screen and stage musicals), songwriters, producers, and even ambassadors of luxury brands. While all their title tracks are lit, the real goldmine lies in their b-sides. This 9-member band has a massive and diverse discography, the best, if not the very best in the K-Pop world. They slay any genre, but are kings of old-school RnB. When you're ready, check out their live performances. Nobody, but nobody does live stages like EXO! This is the very reason why they hold the Guinness record for the fastest sold out concert at .02 secs, beating their own previous record of .04.
Firstly, thank you for reacting to EXO. No one does it like EXO. Everything & anything they do whether on live stage or studio are masterful & of excellent quality. I suggest you check on their live performances - you'll find that this group is truly amazing. EXO is currently not active as a group due to conscription & they're sorely missed.
What you saw in the "Obsession" MV was that EXO's doppelgangers were actually their alter ego clones and they were using their superpowers, such as Chanyeol with his fire power, Sehun uses his wind power to deflect the arrows, Baekhyun uses his power of light as a saber in the fencing battle, and Suho (the one with red hair) controls water in the room with all the pictures of water, etc. to fight their other selves. You see the planet on fire in the end of the MV because it's supposed to show how the world is coming to an end as EXO (the good guys in all black) and X-EXO (the evil ones in the colorful outfits with crazy hair and makeup) battle for control, etc. (Each of the members are playing 2 different characters -- there are only 6 people in this MV.) X-EXO has been created by the evil Red Force and EXO and X-EXO are fighting each other. EXO are trying to prevent X-EXO from taking over and corrupting humanity and X-EXO are trying to stop EXO from finding the Tree of Life and putting the two halves back together and restoring peace, etc. To truly understand EXO you need to understand that EXO debuted in 2012. "Mama" is EXO's debut song and MV and it is how EXO was introduced to the world and it explains the group's concept -- and since then, everything SM does branches off from that storyline. From day one, EXO's concept is that they are aliens from planet Exo and they came to Earth with superpowers to protect the Tree of Life from the Red Forces. Each of the members has a superpower that is unique to them and almost every MV will have at least one, if not all of them, using their powers. Now you also need to know that In the beginning there was 12 members and they were split up into 2 groups EXO-K and EXO-M. EXO-K sang and performed their songs in Korean and EXO-M sang and performed those same songs in Mandarin Chinese. EXO-K had 6 Korean members and EXO-M had 4 Chinese members and 2 Korean members. So to really understand their full origin story you have to watch both the K and the M version of "Mama", because the EXO-K version focuses on the K members and their powers and the EXO-M version focuses on the M members and their powers. However, since then, 3 of the 4 Chinese members have left the group (short answer to focus on their solo work back in China) but there is still one Chinese member left, Lay. (Any performances or MVs you watch that took place prior to May 2014 you will see all 12 members.) However, now -- because they no longer have enough Chinese members -- they no longer do separate promotions, but they still produce almost all of their MVs and main songs in both Korean and Mandarin they just now promote all as one big group EXO with 9 members. However, in the "Obsession" MV there are only 6 members -- Suho, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, Kai and Sehun -- because 2 of the members -- D.O. and Xiumin -- are on hiatus during this comeback as they serve in the military; and due to the political issues between the Korean and Chinese government, Lay -- their Chinese member -- was unable to participate in activities with the group. So each new MV or project from EXO tells another part of the story, and over the years we fans have started to create a timeline and idea of what we think each part of the story is telling us. However, the introduction of "Obsession's" part of the story really threw all of our theories for a loop and it has made us question everything we have ever thought was happening in EXO's storyline. The MV starts out with the red and blue light because it's supposed to represent how EXO are currently battling with X-EXO and the Red Force for control. In EXO's MVs when you see red light or anything that is red, this represents the Red Force, and when you see blue light or anything that is blue, this is thought to represent EXO. Therefore, when you see red and blue in one scene or purple -- red and blue mixed together make purple -- this is showing how the line between the two sides is being blurred and they are fighting each other, etc. Since "Obsession" some think maybe EXO has been trapped somewhere from the very beginning and it has been X-EXO that we have been following all along. But I think it's still even more complex than that. I think at times we have been watching EXO and at times we have been watching X-EXO -- with the release of "Obsession" we have only just discovering that the story hasn't necessarily been showing EXO the whole time. With the new information provided to us through "Obsession," it also makes me question how Lay fits within the X-EXO/EXO storyline. Maybe he is one of the members who has been able to break free or avoid the Red Forces' control. In Lay's solo MV for "Sheep," the Allen Walker relift version, we see everything burning outside as if an apocalypse is happening. Maybe "Sheep" is showing us the planet burning from Lay's viewpoint, like we see the world burning at the end of the "Obsession" MV. Also, I believe that the storyline in "Obsession" is connected to SuperM's debut "Jopping" MV storyline. If you pay attention to what Baekhyun and Kai were wearing in "Obsession," those outfits are very similar to the black outfits that Baekhyun and Kai are wearing in the "Jopping" MV. Kai is even wearing the same backpack parachute in both MVs. Which seems to be SM Entertainment's way of making sure we see the connection between those MVs. So it is thought that, as part of SuperM's storyline, EXO has gathered the best of the best of SM's groups -- EXO, Taemin/SHINee, NCT/WayV -- to help them battle the Red Force and maybe eventually take down X-EXO. Just like the Marvel Avengers come together as individual superheroes with their own storylines to create the Avengers and to fight evil, it is thought that SuperM is coming together to create the ultimate supergroup to help EXO fight the evil and corruption inflicted on humanity by the Red Force. Unfortunately, to make it even more difficult to understand, each part of the story is not necessarily in chronological order, so we as EXO-L (EXO fans) have to become detectives and analyze every aspect of all of their teasers, MVs, song lyrics, albums, concert VCRs, choreography and even live performances and piece it all together to understand the story behind it all. And not only are EXO's and SuperM's MVs and storylines connected, but pretty much all of SM's groups have storylines and concepts that connect together, which is designed to become part of one giant graphic novel or movie in the SM Culture Universe. To help you pinpoint the powers being used in EXO's MVs and live performances, here is a list of the members and what their special power is. EXO-K 💦 Suho (Kim JunMyeon) is the leader of the group and he is a lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control water (Fun fact: Suho in Korean means guardian, as in the guardian of EXO. That's why as the leader of EXO, his stage name is Suho.) 💡Baekhyun is a main vocalist and his superpower is the ability to control light 🔥Chanyeol is the main rapper and lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control fire and his spirit animal is the phoenix. 🌏D.O. (Do KyungSoo) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control earth (dirt) which gives him strength/force ☄Kai (Kim JongIn) is a main dancer, lead vocalist and sub-rapper and his power is teleportation (Kai means opening as in a door or gateway, so his stage name is meant to symbolize his role in the group.) 🌪Sehun is the youngest member of the group and he is a lead rapper, lead dancer and a vocalist -- his power is the ability to control wind EXO-M ❄Xiumin (Kim MinSeok) is the oldest member of the group and he is a lead vocalist and lead rapper and his power is the ability to control snow/ice (frost) 🦄 Lay (Zhang Yixing) is the Chinese member of the group, he is a main dancer, lead vocalist and rapper -- his power is the ability to heal anything. 🌩 Chen (Kim JongDae) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control thunder/lightning/electricity (As you can see, Xiumin and Chen were given stage names that sounded more Chinese so they would fit in better in EXO-M because they are the Korean members of the Chinese group) The Chinese members who are no longer part of the group, but are still an important part of EXO's storyline: 🐉 Kris was the leader of EXO-M he was a main rapper and vocalist -- his power was the ability to fly and his spirit animal was a dragon (Kris left the group in April 2014.) 💭 Luhan was a main vocalist and his power was telekinesis (The ability to control things with his mind) (Luhan left the group in October 2014.) ⏰Tao (Z.Tao) was a lead rapper and vocalist and the martial artist of the group, so he did the flips and stunts in the group's routines. His power was the ability to control time (Tao ended activities with EXO in August 2015.)
This song is about a subsection of fans in Korea called sasaengs. These are the creepy stalker fans that literally track down their phone numbers, find out where they live or what hotel they’re staying in and camp outside of it. There have been cases of these sasaengs breaking into their hotel rooms and stealing their used clothing and belongings. They have no boundaries and will literally send letters of hatred to other members of the same group for being too friendly with “their” idol/bias and tell them to kts and stuff. It’s a huge problem bc the number of sasaengs are increasing as the years go by and it becomes more mainstream and more and more “fans” feel entitled to the idols’ personal lives and their being as a whole. They often see them as an object that they’ll marry someday or have some other grandiose delusion. This was a clapback to the sasaengs which is why they talk about being paranoid in the dark of their own rooms and the pre chorus shutting them and their entitled demands down with the “I don’t think so”. This song was literally revolutionary in kpop bc it was the first time idols and/or their group actually stood up to and called out sasaengs for their obsessive behavior as most companies make their idols pretend the whole thing isn’t happening despite literal attempts of idol kidnappings both in private and even on stage. Even now people pretend it isn’t a problem but it’s just getting worse. So yes the song bops but it’s also really dark lol. Love the reaction and love the channel
Obsession album is a masterpiece. I suggest Ya Ya Ya (no mv), one of the b-sides of the album, you can use lyric video. They used SWV as a sample. Thanks for reacting to EXO.
4:00 The one with the scar you said is your favorite is SEHUN, he is actually the youngest member. KAI and SEHUN are part of the Maknae Line along with Chanyoel and D.O. THE ORDER OLDEST TO YOUNGEST …. XIUMIN SUHO LAY BAEKHYUN CHEN CHANYEOL D.O KAI SEHUN
EXO is probably the most well rounded Kpop group these guys are singers,dancers,producers,composers,writers,award winning actors,ambassadors,choreographers and their b side tracks are awesome.Also fun fact EXO holds the record of fastest selling concert in 0.2 seconds still holding the record years later!
Next EXO Wolf live performance. Watch a movie with D.O (Do Kyung Soo) main vocalist in the movie Swing Kids. D.O is a great actor, in movies or kdramas.
EXO are the reason I even got into Kpop. I absolutely love them, I love their amazing vocals and everything they do is topnotch. Next plesse react to CALL ME BABY
Most of EXO's members are singer, actor and models. Some of them also produce their own songs. So yeah, EXO is full package. Have you guys watched their love performance? Cuz they're insane when it comes to live performance.
EXO is known to be in the top 3 best boy kpop groups alongside BTS and BIG BANG (BIG BANG - who are known to be the kings of kpop). These are the biggest ones.
The cropped top guy is The Kai .. and He is the first ever Korean Gucci global ambassador. The guy with the red hair is Suho and he is my husband. Haha!
Great reaction. I had to listen to Obsession a few times before I loved it. Now it’s a favorite and I love the mv too. The singer with white hair, (Baekhyun) is in the 2016 historical kdrama “Moon lovers Scarlet Heart Ryeo” It’s still a popular drama, loved by many fans.
Man, you are taking a risk saying you want EXO's stylist to have their way with you. They do a pretty good job with them now, but back in EXO's early days, specifically their Wolf era (2013), it was tragic...the stage outfits, the looks in the MV...all of it was wretched. The boys must have been so embarrassed. Thankfully, they must have fired those stylists or educated them or something. Lots of fun watching you guys react to Kpop, you really don't hold anything back, and I enjoy that so much in reactors!! You should check out Overdose, or KoKoBop next. Both are straight up bangers.
EXO KINGS AND LEGENDS OF K-POP FOREVER ETERNA-A FACT THAT HAS NO LONGER NEEDS ANYONE'S APPROVAL. The national men's group of South Korea. They became the first artists in 12 years who managed to sell more than a million copies of the album. XOXO was named "Album of the Year" at the 2013 Mnet Asian Music Awards, making EXO the youngest male group ever to receive this award. They performed at the closing ceremony of the Universiade 2013 in Kazan. They performed at the opening ceremony of the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon. They sell out concert tickets in 0.2 seconds, which is a WORLD RECORD TO THIS DAY. They received the first Prime Minister's award at the 2017 Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards for their contribution to Korean culture. They were included in the TOP-50 most popular male groups in the world of the last decade according to "24/7 Wall St" (EXO took the 10th place, becoming the only representative of Asia, indicators in Billboard, Spotify and Wikipedia were taken into account). They were included in the Guinness Book of Records as the group that received the largest number of daesans at the MAMA Award. They are the security ambassadors of Seoul. / To say that in EXO someone is better and someone is worse is simply IMPOSSIBLE because absolutely every participant is unrealistically talented, this is literally an IDEAL GROUP. Every EXO group and solo album is on a completely different level to this day, even after 10 years of career. I am absolutely not afraid to say that EXO is a real K-POP, now there are countless groups in the fourth generation, but they absolutely do not stand out in any way, trying to focus more and more on the West and POP music, thereby becoming monotonous and disposable. EXO is the only band in the entire K-POP industry, by the way, to this day where literally every member sings amazingly, including rappers and dancers. Minute popularity does not determine the talent and legendarity of the artist, because even after 10 years of his career, EXO songs are literally sung by the whole of Asia, because EXO is the real K-POP. I will never stop admiring this amazing band, even if 40 years pass, let a billion more bands like bts be released, they will never surpass EXO because their music is timeless, this is what defines the legendary artist. PLEASE REACTION TO MV EXO: WOLF. MAMA. GROWL. TEMPO. LOTTO. POWER. HISTORY. DECEMBER. MONSTER. UNIVERSE. OVERDOSE. LOVE SHOT. LUCKY ONE. KO KO BOP. ELECTRIC KISS. COMING OVER. DANCING KING. SING FOR YOU. CALL ME BABY. LOVE ME RIGHT. DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING.
yes exo, the vocal kings of kpop, exo's discography is amazing, they literally don't have a bad song. I suggested that you react to exo's live performances, you won't be disappointed. some exo songs that could react are monster, kokobop, the eve, lotto, call me baby, overdose, growl, tempo, love shot, love me right
you should react to superm jopping - it’s the debut of a super group from sm made of the most popular members of their groups (shinee nct wayv exo),,, the mv is cool and their concept was that they are the avengers of kpop their songs one (monster & infinity) and tiger inside are good too but i think jopping is a good intro to them !!
As you see the present six members Suho, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, Kai and Sehun have made a group comeback before their leader Suho had to enlist which was July 14th 2020 following Baekhyun & Chanyeol enlistments sometime this year; CHEN recently enlisted on October 26 2020. The more I watch it, the concept and lyrics gives me lotto along with Monster era feels about a "Man's obsession with his lover" but in reverse especially in the beginning when the voice echo says "I want ya, I want ya”. After listening to the digital album, I was obsessed with it before it even came out and I couldn't wait; it's the title track of EXO's 6th album with the same name ‘OBSESSION’. *This song brings trap bass blend with synthwave & jazzy accapella influences similar to their 2018 track "Tempo" with a vocal refrain running throughout the song. Lyric-wise it comes as a warning toward an ex-lover or friend, corrupt media, especially SAESANGS and ANTIs to stay away avoiding entitlement which is a constant issue among the kpop community. The track was released with an MV that fits their album wide storyline as a whole, they are shown fighting Red Force clones of themselves (their innerselves) which don't seem to share the same superpowers as the members, let alone have the clones to respond back. The only three actually seen fighting are Baekhyun, Chanyeol and Sehun but the other three aren’t* #EXO #OBSESSION SUHO - Water (Leader) BAEKHYUN - Light [Sun] CHEN - Lightning CHANYEOL - Fire [Phoenix] KAI - Teleportation SEHUN - Wind (Youngest)
EXO is NCT's seniors, they're a group within the same company that debuted before them but some members are close and friends whether it be because of training together (ex. Johnny from NCT 127 was a trainee for a long time and actually trained with EXO and I believe may have supposed to debut in EXO but he didn't) or working together (ex. 4 members of NCT joined SuperM with 2 EXO members and Taemin of SHINee)
Understandably Obsession is a top notch video but this is the time to recommend *Lit by Lay* Lay is the only Chinese member of exo. That video will blow you away.
EXO and NCT are from the same entertainment company. SM Entertainment. EXO are NCT's senior group. EXO debuted in 2012, NCT in 2016. In Korean EXO is referred to by any younger groups/artist as 선배님 seonbaenim. Meaning in Korean refers to a far more experienced person within the same school, company, or group. In this case it's a company. It’s a combination of the word 선배 (seonbae) which means senior, and 님(nim), which is Mr. or Sir in English. It’s a Korean title usually used when one is talking in formal language.
Gracias por la reacción de Obsession espero puedan ver más del gran talento que tienen mis chicos y asegurando que todas sus discografías son Arte. . ✨🤗❤️
THERE IS A COLLABORATION GROUP KNOWN AS #SUPERM that EXO BAEKHYUN (oldest/leader) and KAI (3rd oldest) are part of along with #SHINee TAEMIN (2nd oldest) as well as #NCT Taeyong, TEN, LUCAS and Mark Lee (youngest)

EXO is my fav group:D i would like to see yall reaction with "Jopping" by Superm in the next reaction please hahhahaha Basically SuperM is like the Avengers of Kpop they had a collab merch with marvel plss react to them;;)))) the vocals and the whole concept are insane!!
ALL THE MEMBERS ARE NOW PRETTY IN THEIR EARLY 30s; BAEKHYUN, CHEN AND CHANYEOL ARE STILL IN THE MILITARY FROM WHAT I KNOW SO FAR EXCEPT MAYBE BAEKHYUN SINCE HE HAS A CONDITION THAT PREVENTS HIM FROM BEING AN ACTIVE SOLDIER BUT COMPLETING HIS SERVICE AS A PUBLIC OR SOCIAL WORKER (I could be completely wrong but thats just what I heard he was or going to be doing), its been over a year now so im not sure myself. 1:52 That is CHANYEOL, the main rapper of the group 2:57 SUHO - Leader and 2nd oldest
Billboard named Obsession the best kpop song of 2019
Does it have any standards?
@@feFe1231 EXO is the standard.

The one rapping is Chanyeol
The one with the scar is Sehun
The one with red hair is Suho
The one with white hair is Baekhyun
Green hair and crop top is Kai
The one with high note is Chen
3 members aren’t in the video

VOCAL KINGS OF KPOP!
EXO made SM entertainment more famous they even built a building with just one song
Anyways exo has a lot of rnb songs and they try different genres too
There's also a group called SuperM which combinbes members from NCT, Exo and Shinee
yeah no body likes that group
I’m not even a exol but this was my favorite Kpop song to come out of 2019 the beatttt.
1:57 he is Chanyeol(main rapper,lead vocal)
EXO(Kai) made crop tops in kpop male idols a trend in 2018 in Tempo and then wore them again in Obsession
Actually EXO have a concept that they are from EXO planet(EXO means outer) a planet out of our solar system(first group to have a storyline ever) Each member has his own superpower and they are chased by the Red Force (brief explanation)
EVEYTHING EXO do is related to their concept(not only MVs which ofc are connected) ,there are many theory videos on yt about it,it’s very interesting and super detailed
In Obsession is shows the fight between EXO and X-EXO(bad alter egos the Red force made) in the end it shows that the planet cought fire that means that their bad side won
YESSSS exo literally has top notch vocalists and songs omg literally all masterpieces. Groups like exo, nct, shinee have title tracks that are💯
So shinee are exo’s bigger bros, and exo & shinee are nct’s. Basically they all besties.
There’s even a group that consists of a few of shinee, exo and nct in one, called SuperM.
EXO is the first ever K-Pop group to debut with a concept and story line which are interwoven into their MVs and concert VCRs. They started that trend.
Critics have widely considered them vocal kings for their top-tier vocal prowess. They're actors (film, small screen and stage musicals), songwriters, producers, and even ambassadors of luxury brands. While all their title tracks are lit, the real goldmine lies in their b-sides. This 9-member band has a massive and diverse discography, the best, if not the very best in the K-Pop world. They slay any genre, but are kings of old-school RnB.
When you're ready, check out their live performances. Nobody, but nobody does live stages like EXO! This is the very reason why they hold the Guinness record for the fastest sold out concert at .02 secs, beating their own previous record of .04.
"I need to buy me a crop top" LMAOOOOO ME ASF
Firstly, thank you for reacting to EXO. No one does it like EXO. Everything & anything they do whether on live stage or studio are masterful & of excellent quality. I suggest you check on their live performances - you'll find that this group is truly amazing. EXO is currently not active as a group due to conscription & they're sorely missed.
The guy with the scar is Sehun(main rapper,main dancer)
What you saw in the "Obsession" MV was that EXO's doppelgangers were actually their alter ego clones and they were using their superpowers, such as Chanyeol with his fire power, Sehun uses his wind power to deflect the arrows, Baekhyun uses his power of light as a saber in the fencing battle, and Suho (the one with red hair) controls water in the room with all the pictures of water, etc. to fight their other selves. You see the planet on fire in the end of the MV because it's supposed to show how the world is coming to an end as EXO (the good guys in all black) and X-EXO (the evil ones in the colorful outfits with crazy hair and makeup) battle for control, etc. (Each of the members are playing 2 different characters -- there are only 6 people in this MV.)
X-EXO has been created by the evil Red Force and EXO and X-EXO are fighting each other. EXO are trying to prevent X-EXO from taking over and corrupting humanity and X-EXO are trying to stop EXO from finding the Tree of Life and putting the two halves back together and restoring peace, etc.
To truly understand EXO you need to understand that EXO debuted in 2012. "Mama" is EXO's debut song and MV and it is how EXO was introduced to the world and it explains the group's concept -- and since then, everything SM does branches off from that storyline.

Each of the members has a superpower that is unique to them and almost every MV will have at least one, if not all of them, using their powers.
Now you also need to know that In the beginning there was 12 members and they were split up into 2 groups EXO-K and EXO-M.

However, since then, 3 of the 4 Chinese members have left the group (short answer to focus on their solo work back in China) but there is still one Chinese member left, Lay. (Any performances or MVs you watch that took place prior to May 2014 you will see all 12 members.)

So it is thought that, as part of SuperM's storyline, EXO has gathered the best of the best of SM's groups -- EXO, Taemin/SHINee, NCT/WayV -- to help them battle the Red Force and maybe eventually take down X-EXO. Just like the Marvel Avengers come together as individual superheroes with their own storylines to create the Avengers and to fight evil, it is thought that SuperM is coming together to create the ultimate supergroup to help EXO fight the evil and corruption inflicted on humanity by the Red Force.
Unfortunately, to make it even more difficult to understand, each part of the story is not necessarily in chronological order, so we as EXO-L (EXO fans) have to become detectives and analyze every aspect of all of their teasers, MVs, song lyrics, albums, concert VCRs, choreography and even live performances and piece it all together to understand the story behind it all. And not only are EXO's and SuperM's MVs and storylines connected, but pretty much all of SM's groups have storylines and concepts that connect together, which is designed to become part of one giant graphic novel or movie in the SM Culture Universe.
To help you pinpoint the powers being used in EXO's MVs and live performances, here is a list of the members and what their special power is.
EXO-K
💦 Suho (Kim JunMyeon) is the leader of the group and he is a lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control water (Fun fact: Suho in Korean means guardian, as in the guardian of EXO. That's why as the leader of EXO, his stage name is Suho.)
💡Baekhyun is a main vocalist and his superpower is the ability to control light
🔥Chanyeol is the main rapper and lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control fire and his spirit animal is the phoenix.
🌏D.O. (Do KyungSoo) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control earth (dirt) which gives him strength/force
☄Kai (Kim JongIn) is a main dancer, lead vocalist and sub-rapper and his power is teleportation (Kai means opening as in a door or gateway, so his stage name is meant to symbolize his role in the group.)
🌪Sehun is the youngest member of the group and he is a lead rapper, lead dancer and a vocalist -- his power is the ability to control wind
EXO-M
❄Xiumin (Kim MinSeok) is the oldest member of the group and he is a lead vocalist and lead rapper and his power is the ability to control snow/ice (frost)
🦄 Lay (Zhang Yixing) is the Chinese member of the group, he is a main dancer, lead vocalist and rapper -- his power is the ability to heal anything.
🌩 Chen (Kim JongDae) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control thunder/lightning/electricity
(As you can see, Xiumin and Chen were given stage names that sounded more Chinese so they would fit in better in EXO-M because they are the Korean members of the Chinese group)
The Chinese members who are no longer part of the group, but are still an important part of EXO's storyline:
🐉 Kris was the leader of EXO-M he was a main rapper and vocalist -- his power was the ability to fly and his spirit animal was a dragon (Kris left the group in April 2014.)
💭 Luhan was a main vocalist and his power was telekinesis (The ability to control things with his mind) (Luhan left the group in October 2014.)
⏰Tao (Z.Tao) was a lead rapper and vocalist and the martial artist of the group, so he did the flips and stunts in the group's routines. His power was the ability to control time (Tao ended activities with EXO in August 2015.)
No one can beat exo in quality! Vocal, rapp, instruments, dance, visual, live performance, acting, all rounded!
This song is about a subsection of fans in Korea called sasaengs. These are the creepy stalker fans that literally track down their phone numbers, find out where they live or what hotel they’re staying in and camp outside of it. There have been cases of these sasaengs breaking into their hotel rooms and stealing their used clothing and belongings. They have no boundaries and will literally send letters of hatred to other members of the same group for being too friendly with “their” idol/bias and tell them to kts and stuff. It’s a huge problem bc the number of sasaengs are increasing as the years go by and it becomes more mainstream and more and more “fans” feel entitled to the idols’ personal lives and their being as a whole. They often see them as an object that they’ll marry someday or have some other grandiose delusion. This was a clapback to the sasaengs which is why they talk about being paranoid in the dark of their own rooms and the pre chorus shutting them and their entitled demands down with the “I don’t think so”. This song was literally revolutionary in kpop bc it was the first time idols and/or their group actually stood up to and called out sasaengs for their obsessive behavior as most companies make their idols pretend the whole thing isn’t happening despite literal attempts of idol kidnappings both in private and even on stage. Even now people pretend it isn’t a problem but it’s just getting worse. So yes the song bops but it’s also really dark lol. Love the reaction and love the channel
1:57 This is Chanyeol (the rapper)
2:53 This is Suho (the leader)
4:00 This is Sehun (also rapper and the youngest)
Obsession album is a masterpiece. I suggest Ya Ya Ya (no mv), one of the b-sides of the album, you can use lyric video. They used SWV as a sample.
Thanks for reacting to EXO.
4:00 The one with the scar you said is your favorite is SEHUN, he is actually the youngest member. KAI and SEHUN are part of the Maknae Line along with Chanyoel and D.O. THE ORDER OLDEST TO YOUNGEST ….
XIUMIN
SUHO
LAY
BAEKHYUN
CHEN
CHANYEOL
D.O

EXO is probably the most well rounded Kpop group these guys are singers,dancers,producers,composers,writers,award winning actors,ambassadors,choreographers and their b side tracks are awesome.Also fun fact EXO holds the record of fastest selling concert in 0.2 seconds still holding the record years later!
The rappers name is Chanyeol
i want to see yall reaction to shinee's "don't call me" and their debut from 2008 "replay" lol they from the 2nd gen of kpop and the princes of kpop.
Next EXO Wolf live performance. Watch a movie with D.O (Do Kyung Soo) main vocalist in the movie Swing Kids. D.O is a great actor, in movies or kdramas.
EXO are the reason I even got into Kpop. I absolutely love them, I love their amazing vocals and everything they do is topnotch. Next plesse react to CALL ME BABY
Most of EXO's members are singer, actor and models. Some of them also produce their own songs. So yeah, EXO is full package.
Have you guys watched their love performance?
Cuz they're insane when it comes to live performance.
“Who is that? That’s Trunks!”
😂😂😂
"dang he killed that" YES OF COURSE ❤️ Chen
Obsession was top 1 billboard critics' choice 2019.
This song is produced by Dem Jointz he has worked with Rihanna,Kanye west and other kpop artists
EXO is known to be in the top 3 best boy kpop groups alongside BTS and BIG BANG (BIG BANG - who are known to be the kings of kpop). These are the biggest ones.
the seventeen erasure..
@@kabeom yes seventeen is amazing. But I was talking big3, which is obviously the 3 I listed 🙏🏼.
i see EXO Kpop vocal kingsss i click right away!
The one rapping is chanyeol. He has some songs of his own.
The cropped top guy is The Kai .. and He is the first ever Korean Gucci global ambassador.
The guy with the red hair is Suho and he is my husband. Haha!
Great reaction. I had to listen to Obsession a few times before I loved it. Now it’s a favorite and I love the mv too. The singer with white hair, (Baekhyun) is in the 2016 historical kdrama “Moon lovers Scarlet Heart Ryeo” It’s still a popular drama, loved by many fans.
Thank you for reacting to them. Hopefully next u guys can watch exo live performances and concerts.
MAMA + Monster + Wolf in Tokyo dome.
Only if they knew the concept of EXO 😭😭😭😭 gosh I miss Exo....
Miss EXO...hope they will comeback soon with full members. EXO as a group is amazing 👍❤️👍
The kings of kpop 🔥🔥
im begging u to watch a live performance of exo to see them in their full potential
i recommend their acoustic medley or anything bcs they eat up every performance but please
EXO "Love shot"!!!! I love this song! 🥰😍🤩
Man, you are taking a risk saying you want EXO's stylist to have their way with you. They do a pretty good job with them now, but back in EXO's early days, specifically their Wolf era (2013), it was tragic...the stage outfits, the looks in the MV...all of it was wretched. The boys must have been so embarrassed. Thankfully, they must have fired those stylists or educated them or something. Lots of fun watching you guys react to Kpop, you really don't hold anything back, and I enjoy that so much in reactors!! You should check out Overdose, or KoKoBop next. Both are straight up bangers.
The dude with the crop top is Kai he has 2 solo albums
Red haired one is Suho even he has 2 albums check it out
EXO KINGS AND LEGENDS OF K-POP
FOREVER ETERNA-A FACT THAT HAS NO LONGER NEEDS ANYONE'S APPROVAL.
The national men's group of South Korea. They became the first artists in 12 years who managed to sell more than a million copies of the album. XOXO was named "Album of the Year" at the 2013 Mnet Asian Music Awards, making EXO the youngest male group ever to receive this award. They performed at the closing ceremony of the Universiade 2013 in Kazan. They performed at the opening ceremony of the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon. They sell out concert tickets in 0.2 seconds, which is a WORLD RECORD TO THIS DAY. They received the first Prime Minister's award at the 2017 Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards for their contribution to Korean culture. They were included in the TOP-50 most popular male groups in the world of the last decade according to "24/7 Wall St" (EXO took the 10th place, becoming the only representative of Asia, indicators in Billboard, Spotify and Wikipedia were taken into account). They were included in the Guinness Book of Records as the group that received the largest number of daesans at the MAMA Award. They are the security ambassadors of Seoul.

To say that in EXO someone is better and someone is worse is simply IMPOSSIBLE because absolutely every participant is unrealistically talented, this is literally an IDEAL GROUP. Every EXO group and solo album is on a completely different level to this day, even after 10 years of career. I am absolutely not afraid to say that EXO is a real K-POP, now there are countless groups in the fourth generation, but they absolutely do not stand out in any way, trying to focus more and more on the West and POP music, thereby becoming monotonous and disposable. EXO is the only band in the entire K-POP industry, by the way, to this day where literally every member sings amazingly, including rappers and dancers. Minute popularity does not determine the talent and legendarity of the artist, because even after 10 years of his career, EXO songs are literally sung by the whole of Asia, because EXO is the real K-POP. I will never stop admiring this amazing band, even if 40 years pass, let a billion more bands like bts be released, they will never surpass EXO because their music is timeless, this is what defines the legendary artist.
PLEASE REACTION TO MV EXO:
WOLF. MAMA. GROWL. TEMPO. LOTTO. POWER. HISTORY. DECEMBER. MONSTER. UNIVERSE. OVERDOSE. LOVE SHOT. LUCKY ONE. KO KO BOP. ELECTRIC KISS. COMING OVER. DANCING KING. SING FOR YOU. CALL ME BABY. LOVE ME RIGHT. DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING.
yes exo, the vocal kings of kpop, exo's discography is amazing, they literally don't have a bad song. I suggested that you react to exo's live performances, you won't be disappointed. some exo songs that could react are monster, kokobop, the eve, lotto, call me baby, overdose, growl, tempo, love shot, love me right
The guy with the scar is Sehun

I MISS MY EXO SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!
react to their bside song Ya Ya Ya it's from the Obsession album 🔥
I was just watching your extraordinary attorney woo video and now I see my favorite group exo
you should react to superm jopping - it’s the debut of a super group from sm made of the most popular members of their groups (shinee nct wayv exo),,, the mv is cool and their concept was that they are the avengers of kpop
their songs one (monster & infinity) and tiger inside are good too but i think jopping is a good intro to them !!
Actor from EXO
1. D.O. (Best Idol-actor)
- Lay (chinese member)
- Sehun
- Chanyeol
- Suho
- Xiumin
- Baekhyun
- Kai
As you see the present six members Suho, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, Kai and Sehun have made a group comeback before their leader Suho had to enlist which was July 14th 2020 following Baekhyun & Chanyeol enlistments sometime this year; CHEN recently enlisted on October 26 2020. The more I watch it, the concept and lyrics gives me lotto along with Monster era feels about a "Man's obsession with his lover" but in reverse especially in the beginning when the voice echo says "I want ya, I want ya”. After listening to the digital album, I was obsessed with it before it even came out and I couldn't wait; it's the title track of EXO's 6th album with the same name ‘OBSESSION’. *This song brings trap bass blend with synthwave & jazzy accapella influences similar to their 2018 track "Tempo" with a vocal refrain running throughout the song. Lyric-wise it comes as a warning toward an ex-lover or friend, corrupt media, especially SAESANGS and ANTIs to stay away avoiding entitlement which is a constant issue among the kpop community. The track was released with an MV that fits their album wide storyline as a whole, they are shown fighting Red Force clones of themselves (their innerselves) which don't seem to share the same superpowers as the members, let alone have the clones to respond back. The only three actually seen fighting are Baekhyun, Chanyeol and Sehun but the other three aren’t* #EXO #OBSESSION
SUHO - Water (Leader)
BAEKHYUN - Light [Sun]
CHEN - Lightning
CHANYEOL - Fire [Phoenix]
KAI - Teleportation
SEHUN - Wind (Youngest)
Exo is KING of KPOP
came from your extraordinary attorney woo reactions! exo is the absolute best ❤️
EXO is NCT's seniors, they're a group within the same company that debuted before them but some members are close and friends whether it be because of training together (ex. Johnny from NCT 127 was a trainee for a long time and actually trained with EXO and I believe may have supposed to debut in EXO but he didn't) or working together (ex. 4 members of NCT joined SuperM with 2 EXO members and Taemin of SHINee)
Understandably Obsession is a top notch video but this is the time to recommend *Lit by Lay* Lay is the only Chinese member of exo.
That video will blow you away.
You guys must react Nct u - 90s This song is good
I Love EXO
Thanks for reacting to EXO, please check out their songs Love Shot and Overdose

I'm sure you guys gonna love "love shot" n "Lotto". By EXO
In tempo your favorite is DO, here your favorite are Chanyeol, Suho, Kai. So who are your favorite?
EXO and NCT are from the same entertainment company. SM Entertainment. EXO are NCT's senior group. EXO debuted in 2012, NCT in 2016. In Korean EXO is referred to by any younger groups/artist as 선배님 seonbaenim. Meaning in Korean refers to a far more experienced person within the same school, company, or group. In this case it's a company. It’s a combination of the word 선배 (seonbae) which means senior, and 님(nim), which is Mr. or Sir in English. It’s a Korean title usually used when one is talking in formal language.

ALL THE MEMBERS ARE NOW PRETTY IN THEIR EARLY 30s; BAEKHYUN, CHEN AND CHANYEOL ARE STILL IN THE MILITARY FROM WHAT I KNOW SO FAR EXCEPT MAYBE BAEKHYUN SINCE HE HAS A CONDITION THAT PREVENTS HIM FROM BEING AN ACTIVE SOLDIER BUT COMPLETING HIS SERVICE AS A PUBLIC OR SOCIAL WORKER (I could be completely wrong but thats just what I heard he was or going to be doing), its been over a year now so im not sure myself.
1:52 That is CHANYEOL, the main rapper of the group
2:57 SUHO - Leader and 2nd oldest
