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 you 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 you see in the cage in "Lotto" are roosters -- cock fighting roosters to be exact -- and they are another form of gambling. And the dogs (not wolves) 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, if you remember, in EXO's "Obsession" MV, 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.
@@CosmicLatteEP It's not for everyone, but some of us enjoy analyzing and going in depth into their storyline. Just because it might not be for you, doesn't mean others don't appreciate what I have to say.
@@milindawilson9175 sorry if I offended you🙏🏻.. I really appreciate people who analyze exo theory like you. I also often read it on Twitter I mean I was talking about myself, "reading fan analysis about exo theory already makes my head spin because it is very difficult for someone who is not smart like me, so I won't try to analyze it that will make me even more spin" That's what I mean..
@@CosmicLatteEP Sorry for the misunderstanding. I have so many people leave snarky comments that think their opinion is the only one that matters, I just assumed you were one of them. Thank you for your comment. My goal is to try and break somethings down for people in order to make it a little easier to understand. I try to make it less overwhelming, but SM makes it pretty difficult when you have to include almost everything the company does in order to understand it all. :D
@@milindawilson9175 I understand. sorry for making you misunderstand, I'm not good at putting words together and my English is very bad🙏🏻😣 It would be great if the agency made a book about exo theory, it would definitely be a big seller Fighting 💪🏻🔥
It's actually a banned song in South Korea because it was thought to negatively affect the people and make them do what was illegal in the MV and lyrics.
EXO tells a story from their first song to their last song, for example, the song “Mama” talks about their coming to Earth, choosing to be the protectors of the Earth, and gaining strength. The song “Growl” describes how EXO adapted and became students again. The song “Wolf” I don’t remember the exact story because wolves are a characteristic of EXO. The song “Call Me Baby” describes how EXO became teenagers in love... etc. I recommend that you listen to the song “Lucky One,” a continuation of the song “Lotto.”
EXO memang berbeda dengan grup K-Pop yang sudah saya tahu sampai saat ini. Makanya saya tidak tertarik dengan grup K-Pop yang lain, mereka beda walaupun mungkin tidak sepopuler yg lain🤭 Terimakasih sudah selalu mendukung EXO. Salam bahagia dan sehat selalu 💪 EXO L 🇮🇩 WE ARE ONE EXO saranghaja 💖💖🙏🏻💪
😭😭😭 oooh thank youuu ,this iconic song with the lipstick chateau wine 🍷 and the break dance, the song is like the ABBA's band" money it must be funny in a rich man's world" the same concept😂, wolfs was for the bad guys ! or maybe Wallstreet Wolves 😂😂 anyway they wanted to save her she was a hostage ,but they got caught for gambling and Chanyeol gave her key to escape 😭 , still waiting for th CBX and SC subunit reactions 😭😭 they are sooo fun to watch you're gonna looove them , Soo much to see with Exo
About the MV's story, it looks like there were two gangs. The first gang, led by Kai, D.O., Baekhyun, Chen, and Xiumin, is into illegal gambling, and the girl is kidnapped as a prize. The second gang, led by Chanyeol and Suho, confronts them for some reason, and during their fight, the police raid the place. Chanyeol found the kidnapped girl (by the first gang) and tries to help her escape, but he gets arrested. Despite being in trouble, he tries to help her by providing evidence, the tape was probably what D.O. was recording with his camera for fun, while they were all gambling. That's my take on it, but I might be off lol
Yet! Lotto is one of my favorite EXO's song. Thank you for doing this, Pierre. And I would like to recommend you ' Transformer + Monster' performance in MAMA 2016. And 'call me baby+ touch it +chill' concert performance from EXO's Elyxion. I hope you would like them too.
You stop my favorite line and moment baekhyun bite his lips and saying lipstick chateau wine color I was ready to sing with him then I realized I was singing alone 😅btw Lotto mv is connected by Monster mv
I just knew that you were going to say YES as soon as Chanyeol appeared! And I was right. I was waiting for that moment :) When LOTTO was released, exol were divided between loving it and hating it. There were exol dirty dancing to this and those who couldn't stand it because of the autotune. Then they performed this song on music show, no autotune, all seductive and even if Kai was not there because he was injured we collectively started to love everything about it. Now is one of my favorite songs. It has this sort of Latin vibe that I love ♡ Thank you for another EXO reaction.
Omg watching this takes me back in time ❤ Chanyeol’s part was my fav in this song, his rap just hit just right. Followed by the bridge right before the dance break😍 I remember Lotto having such mixed reactions for the use of the autotune effect, I honestly thought it was a really refreshing imo.
Thank you for your reactions I hope you'll react to EXO-SC too , you can see more of Chanyeol's style Also EXO-CBX are very different vibe and so fun , they'll have comeback this year after 6 years I'm enjoying your reactions and There is still many songs to react 😅 thank you again
Mendengar lagu EXO,saya selalu merasa full..layering,harmonization,adlibs..sooooo good 😍 Pierre..bagaimana kalau kita memulai membedah album?sepertinya akan menyenangkan 🤭 Untuk live konser saya harap kamu bisa mereaksi Call me baby-Thouch it-Chill 😊 Terimakasih Pierre untuk videonya..
I've watched the MV so many times before but how can't i realized that there were wolfs around the girl.. i've never seen it 😅 woah pierre.. you have such a good sense on your eyes and ears 👍
I always thought that they infiltrated and then rescued. Suho burned the money, Kai seemed to get the "bad" guy and tied him to the stake, they had the fight scene, etc. It seemed as though there was corruption that might be shown on the tape?
He gave her something???? All along I thought he just tried to hold her hand. Awww I was so wrong haha. Anyways, thank youuuu so much. Lotto is soo good. The chorus is soo sick good. The vocals, ofc, is soo good too.
I have been waiting to you for reaction this Lotto for a long time, finally! You did it very very very well❤ thank you for your hard work. tbh I watched this clip while I eating my meal, I really enjoyed 😋🥰
Ok, the thing is that all the EXO videos fit together in their whole mythology. I understand some of it, but honestly, it's best to vibe with it. If you want to understand everything, you're going to have to go back to EXO-K and EXO-M and just basically make a Master's Degree study of it.
EXO now completes the story they left behind with “Call Me Baby” in the song LOTTO Let's review the EXO concept together: The concept of EXO and the meaning of the name "EXO" is an abbreviation for exoplanet (exoplanet) We have all seen EXO's debut song MAMA. At the beginning, a voice appears telling a story in English and mentioning the Tree of Life (so the Tree of Life is not from Wolf, but from Mama). With Growl and Wolf, EXO told a story that they were living a “normal” life until they met the girl, but what does the girl mean in EXO’s concept and what does it symbolize? The girl symbolizes love/the tree of life and we see how they protect her, even Kai brings all of them when the girl is kidnapped (this is all from the Exo wolf drama version video) But Luhan loses himself (he hits D.O. without realizing it) and the girl’s tears are what bring him back to consciousness and himself. But there is a danger, which is that love may make them lose control of themselves, so there is no happy ending, but with the song Miracles in December, EXO is alone, but they agree to live as ordinary people so that no one knows them (but they failed, as we saw with Lucky One and Monster, they were exposed). But there is an important shot in Miracles in December, which is the eclipse, and everyone looks at the sky, and then time goes back for them, and all people move in the opposite direction (to return time), except for Exo, who are stationary. Why? Because they are the reason for the return of time But the girl appears and then disappears quickly, so we can see the frustration on his face (Sehun’s face). Let's continue the story with Sing For You Who is EXO? What is their slogan? “We are one.” Then why did Chanyeol and Suho fight? Because it is a symbol of an internal conflict because he wants the girl but does not want to be revealed and love is his weakness They chose this whale, which is the only whale in the world whose sound waves are loud, so it is alone and cannot communicate with other whales as an expression of loneliness and internal conflict. Overdose Overdos are symbols Her love has become a disease and an addiction to him, and the addict is weak So he forgets himself and tries to get out of the maze In the song Mama, the voice says: The red forces. Who are the red forces? Yes, they are the nurses at Lucky One who represent the “government” or controlling power
D.O. plays a strong role in Overdose, which is that at the beginning of the song he opens a box This box is panadora box. What is this box? Just type it in by searching D.O. considers that he has found the key and they will finish their mission and a new story will begin This box is the EXO collection, but hands appeared in the box, which symbolizes that someone will catch them, meaning that they felt the box was opened. EXO gathered but the Red Forces knew about them To begin the running journey, which is pathcode The broadcast code was a video uploaded by SM for each member and it contained a puzzle They spent the entire Pathcode escaping from the red forces. What was the Pathcode chen video carrying? Yes, a book with Overdos written on it.. Why? Because they did not get out of the maze, they realized that the government had enlarged the maze and was still in control, so they began to use their minds to break it. Exo erased something like begging =end on the Pathcode website on the Twitter account. What does it symbolize? What does it mean that beginning=end? If our mind is played with, make it happy upside down Look at the latest pathcode issued. What was it? Yes it was D.O What is the power of D.O.? Strength, then, is the center of EXO power/physical strength He was the only one who led with Sing For You, Live Me Right and Pathcode Because he is the force that will bring EXO together We see him with the pathcode going and then he sees the other's pathcode gates all flashing and then the balls scattering If he did? He edited EXO, and why, when he was driving, did he look like a woman to the party chair who was with him? Yes, EXO members, and because we did not understand it, show them with Sing For You But everyone escapes and is trapped and uses their powers. So what happened? Some of them seemed to lose control of their powers, like Chanyeol, and some only when they were cornered, like Baekhyun Because they are afraid, now they are in a world under the command of the Red Forces who want to take their powers from them So now we have confirmed that the pathcode is the inverse of start=end, so the correct order of the pathcode is: D.O..Lay..Baekhyun..Chen..Suho..Sehun..Xiumin..Chanyeol..Tao..Kai It's not the other way around like SM uploaded it Baekhyun, Kai, and Suho receive a message from D.O Baekhyun's message was clear in English: Someone is following, and the voice sent was D.O., warning him that someone is following him. Why should I call Kai first? Why is Kai important? Because he is the hardest person to kill, because his mobility is strong and he can move unlike the rest (Remember that the pathcode was in reverse order, that was the game) Then, after all of the escape, they reach a closed ending. What happened?
The "government" caught them and this is what we see in Lucky One. They were tied to the bed and injected with a black solution. Where are they? Are they in the same place as wolf? No, they were taken to their place, exoplanet. They are no longer on Earth, because the whole atmosphere is strange, even the nurses and uniforms are all mama-type. So what's the story of Love Me Right? I remember that its concept was Alice in Wonderland. What is Alice's story? She entered the world of dreams What does this have to do with our story? When they were injected with the black serum, this is what happened. EXO went into a hallucination called Love Me Right (it was a hallucination) Exo are together but they are not connected due to the serum and their detention So they are weak Love Me Right, the Japanese version, is all about monitors and TVs The Ex-Cool even complained about Xiumin... but the ones watching them are the Red Forces Some say that their presence in the hospital is also a hallucination, and that is why Kai did not use his strength, because his strength is to move with his mind, and because his mind was in a state of hallucination, he did not respond to him. We can see at the end of Lucky One that the overdose maze appeared as a hint that that same force was the one who put it in the maze. We see that when the members meet in the room, the glass finally breaks, and this is what the Red Forces fear. They are strong. By bringing together more than one member, the strength increases. Even though they were injected with black serum They begin to escape and use their powers as if they were freed from any restriction To show their exit from the maze on the screen (Nine leave, three remain) And Monster begins... What does the snake have to do with Baekhyun? The snake is a symbol of betrayal, but Baekhyun said that he is not a traitor The snake here is focused because he is a spy, so no one from the government attacked him while the remaining members were beaten In the song, Baekhyun looks at Lay with deep looks because they are being watched (there are cameras before Baekhyun turns them off). He was trying to make Lay understand that he will have their back. We see that Baekhyun is the only one in the blue room and EXO appear as eight without him because they decided to fight the Red Forces. Most importantly, we see two things: the first is the burning car, the smoke from it goes down, and this is impossible because the smoke rises to the top And the clock runs in reverse, meaning that this is all going back in time (like the manipulation that happened with the pathcode). Things were calm until the pots started breaking Chen's lost looks are at Baekhyun as if he is telling him, "We are done" because he knows that Baekhyun is the only one of them outside.
Then it appears as if Baekhyun is thinking alone and does not know what to do At this moment, EXO loses control and begins hitting and fighting Then the room Baekhyun was in is destroyed.. and EXO are captured From us means they will finish and make Kai kneel (Kai always stands at the end of performances as the main dancer - he does not kneel -) But Baekhyun saves them by taking the truck they are trapped in, which is most likely headed to that government leadership, and then he takes off the mask and shows his face, then he gathers them, and as Suho said, the end is open, now that force knows them and is pursuing them. It is true that they fled, but they were under their watch Some say that they lost control of themselves because of what they injected them with, and that they are not monsters, but what they injected them with is what will change them.
Yo tengo la teoría de que la chica es como un símbolo, como evocando a la suerte o la fortuna que tienen atrapada, porque ellos son jugadores . Y al final cuando los atrapan, les quitan la suerte Saludos desde la CDMX
killing point of this song: baekhyun's "lipstick chateau wine-bit colour" part forreal like ughh it is METH it even became a tiktok trend! also yes u pronounced his name right at 4:52 with a B
Baekhyun's so seductive iconic lipstick line that led to that colour selling out. One of EXO's fun facts. The song is heavily part of their concept story, but there are differing opinions how. Most go on the line of them trying to beat the influence of their enemy or counterparts, the Red Force. They are either pulling them in to fight or trying to break their access to easy money. Others think they are trying to get money to fight on and the Red Force manage to raid it - either as themselves or via corrupt police. The end passing over the tape makes it lean more towards them trying to beat the Red Force. Baekhyun once said, while promoting in America with SuperM, to call him Bacon as this was like his name and easier and he likes to relax people. I'm not sure it's a favourite for him, but it helps on the way to saying it properly. it's a B sound at the start.
The wolves represent the forces of evil, and the girl who is running represents the tree of life. As for the women wearing white masks and white clothes, they are the ones who work in the Loki One laboratory. Here it appears that EXO is trying to save the girl, but in the end they are arrested, but they are freed in the song Monster. To know all this, you must know the story. EXO because all the music videos you see and the visuals are planned and not put together in vain
Serigala wanita dan adegan di MV itu semua mempunyai teori jadi mau dijelaskan tp bingung mau mulai dari mana soalnya berkaitan sama Mv sebelumnya dan MV setelahnya 😭🗿😁
That is a difficult question.... Lets say I have a top 10 that sometimes varies (only listing the still active groups) .... In no particular order - XG - ITZY - TWICE - aespa - NEW JEANS - DREAMCATCHER - (G)I-dle - NMIXX -LE SSERAFIM - KISS OF LIFE - NIZIU - and of course there has to be BLACKPINK because they got me hooked on kpop in 2016 There are so many really good artists out there (RED VELVET, Oh My Girl, Kep1er, H1Key, Mamamoo, StayC, SNSD, 2NE1, IZ*ONE, etc....) and I don't consider myself as someone who has a favorite. I'm a musician myself, play guitar and sing ... and for me there is something in every musician and artist that is special. I enjoy very many things in music and try to stay everywhere with my ears.... My favorite solo artists are - IU - BIBI - LEE YOUNGJI - TAEYEON - CHUU - YENA - JESSI - LiSA (japanese artist) As for those groups that have disbanded I really enjoyed CLC and LOONA. I am absolutely happy about that the ex members of Loona moved on so that CHUU and HEEJIN had their solo debuts last year and LOOSEMBLE debuted and the "return" of ODD EYE CIRCLE .... As you might have noticed they are all female. I hardly listen to male singers in my free time. I just love the tone of female voices so much more and can somehow connect to them emotionally more than to a male voice. Male groups are still a thing I am exploring. But I do really like STRAY KIDS and EXO. SEVEENTEEN and ATEEZ are cool, but other than that I haven't gotten into much male groups yet. I still have BTS and DAY6 and lots more to discover..... There are a few male solo artist I had followed before though, and that would be Jay Park, Loco and Colde.
@@NeonReactionsPierre This is wonderful. You really know a lot about kpop. I share your opinion with much of what you mentioned. The world of kpop is truly wonderful. For me, my favorites are" EXO"in the first place. I have been an EXOL for 8 years, then" twice, Blackpink, and BTS" those who I listen to all the time🥰and then the other gorups ❤Of course, I listen to most of the bands you mentioned. All K-Pop groups are creative and their music is catchy and different❤💖
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 you 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 you see in the cage in "Lotto" are roosters -- cock fighting roosters to be exact -- and they are another form of gambling. And the dogs (not wolves) 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, if you remember, in EXO's "Obsession" MV, 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.

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.
Just reading fan theories is giving me a headache. I will never try to analyze this theory 😵💫😵💫
@@CosmicLatteEP It's not for everyone, but some of us enjoy analyzing and going in depth into their storyline. Just because it might not be for you, doesn't mean others don't appreciate what I have to say.
@@milindawilson9175 sorry if I offended you🙏🏻.. I really appreciate people who analyze exo theory like you. I also often read it on Twitter
I mean I was talking about myself, "reading fan analysis about exo theory already makes my head spin because it is very difficult for someone who is not smart like me, so I won't try to analyze it that will make me even more spin" That's what I mean..
@@CosmicLatteEP Sorry for the misunderstanding. I have so many people leave snarky comments that think their opinion is the only one that matters, I just assumed you were one of them. Thank you for your comment. My goal is to try and break somethings down for people in order to make it a little easier to understand. I try to make it less overwhelming, but SM makes it pretty difficult when you have to include almost everything the company does in order to understand it all. :D
@@milindawilson9175 I understand. sorry for making you misunderstand, I'm not good at putting words together and my English is very bad🙏🏻😣
It would be great if the agency made a book about exo theory, it would definitely be a big seller
Fighting 💪🏻🔥
I love this song very much. I feel like it is one of EXO's songs that didn't get its due
It's actually a banned song in South Korea because it was thought to negatively affect the people and make them do what was illegal in the MV and lyrics.
EXO tells a story from their first song to their last song, for example, the song “Mama” talks about their coming to Earth, choosing to be the protectors of the Earth, and gaining strength. The song “Growl” describes how EXO adapted and became students again. The song “Wolf” I don’t remember the exact story because wolves are a characteristic of EXO. The song “Call Me Baby” describes how EXO became teenagers in love... etc. I recommend that you listen to the song “Lucky One,” a continuation of the song “Lotto.”
that sehun's dance break moment
My fav 😎✨
Finally🎉 my favorite EXO‘s song :)) thanks for this reaction. I open the youTube just for your reaction to EXO.🫰🏻
thank you, glad you like it.
Need more Exo ❤❤❤ thanks a lot for the reactions Pierre!
More to come!
Sir I'm really really enjoying your reaction video and I LOVED how the progress of you liking exo video by video . Thank you for your great videos.
thank you
As always, I'm here to watch another exo's reaction. Thanks
EXO memang berbeda dengan grup K-Pop yang sudah saya tahu sampai saat ini. Makanya saya tidak tertarik dengan grup K-Pop yang lain, mereka beda walaupun mungkin tidak sepopuler yg lain🤭 Terimakasih sudah selalu mendukung EXO. Salam bahagia dan sehat selalu 💪 EXO L 🇮🇩 WE ARE ONE EXO saranghaja 💖💖🙏🏻💪
😭😭😭 oooh thank youuu ,this iconic song with the lipstick chateau wine 🍷 and the break dance, the song is like the ABBA's band" money it must be funny in a rich man's world" the same concept😂, wolfs was for the bad guys ! or maybe Wallstreet Wolves 😂😂 anyway they wanted to save her she was a hostage ,but they got caught for gambling and Chanyeol gave her key to escape 😭 , still waiting for th CBX and SC subunit reactions 😭😭 they are sooo fun to watch you're gonna looove them , Soo much to see with Exo
"so much to see with Exo" that is so true
Lotto live performance was so good. You need to watch the live concert in Seoul
EXO - Lotto + Ka-Ching (Korean Ver) Live in Seoul
Up please 🙌
The chateau wine colour lipstick sold out in August 2016 when this song came out.
About the MV's story, it looks like there were two gangs. The first gang, led by Kai, D.O., Baekhyun, Chen, and Xiumin, is into illegal gambling, and the girl is kidnapped as a prize. The second gang, led by Chanyeol and Suho, confronts them for some reason, and during their fight, the police raid the place. Chanyeol found the kidnapped girl (by the first gang) and tries to help her escape, but he gets arrested. Despite being in trouble, he tries to help her by providing evidence, the tape was probably what D.O. was recording with his camera for fun, while they were all gambling. That's my take on it, but I might be off lol
This is even more bouncing with fanchant hahahahah 😂🤾🏻♀️ Thanks pierre! 🥳
🥳🥳🥳🥳
I love this song and the acting they all get to do in this mv. I want to know what's on that tape too! 🤣 Thanks, Pierre!
Yet! Lotto is one of my favorite EXO's song. Thank you for doing this, Pierre. And I would like to recommend you ' Transformer + Monster' performance in MAMA 2016. And 'call me baby+ touch it +chill' concert performance from EXO's Elyxion. I hope you would like them too.
Thank you so much for your reaction ❤🎉
Please react full Empathy album of D.O , thank u💚
🥳🥳🥳
This era has to be the best, i think everyone shines in this era. And this song is way too cool ❤
I love it
You stop my favorite line and moment baekhyun bite his lips and saying lipstick chateau wine color I was ready to sing with him then I realized I was singing alone 😅btw Lotto mv is connected by Monster mv
I was just teasing you a bit :)
I have watched LOTTO hundreds of times and until now I notice that Chanyeol gives something to the girl😂
Thanks for EXO 🥺♥️
Baekhyun with B ❤ he killed it ❤
thank you
I think this song is one of the best songs in the kpop
yay! another EXO vid reaction!!! Lotto is such a gem among their line of MVs 💎 thank you for appreciating the boys again and again!
Lotto is one of my favorite songs by exo. I love it. Thank you
I love this song! I mean every EXO song!😆🤭🥰❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for the reaction!😊
🥳🥳🥳
My favorite MV 😍
Thank you for your reaction ❤
I just knew that you were going to say YES as soon as Chanyeol appeared! And I was right. I was waiting for that moment :)
When LOTTO was released, exol were divided between loving it and hating it. There were exol dirty dancing to this and those who couldn't stand it because of the autotune. Then they performed this song on music show, no autotune, all seductive and even if Kai was not there because he was injured we collectively started to love everything about it.
Now is one of my favorite songs. It has this sort of Latin vibe that I love ♡
Thank you for another EXO reaction.
The "insane look" of our wonderful actor Doh Kyungsoo. Storyline, almost all MVS are about storyline 😉. Baekhyun with B. 😊
happy that you enjoy listening to exo
we proud of them
they are the best kpop idols for us always and forever
its baekhyun "b" sound
Thank you.. really me love D.O's smile on first scene 😂l😊🥰
Kyungsoo with that pscho creepy look 😅
Btw he acted in a kdrama ( Hello, Monster ) where he was a psychopath. He looked so scary in that one istg.
You have to react to Lay’s solo “Veil” ! That song is amazing
:) already did :)
ua-cam.com/video/v-4vKU2kn0Y/v-deo.html
Omg watching this takes me back in time ❤ Chanyeol’s part was my fav in this song, his rap just hit just right. Followed by the bridge right before the dance break😍 I remember Lotto having such mixed reactions for the use of the autotune effect, I honestly thought it was a really refreshing imo.
Thank you for your reactions
I hope you'll react to EXO-SC too , you can see more of Chanyeol's style
Also EXO-CBX are very different vibe and so fun , they'll have comeback this year after 6 years
I'm enjoying your reactions and There is still many songs to react 😅 thank you again
I've been in the fandom for 8 years and I always thought I just held his hand! I just found out he gave him something! Thanks
One of EXO's favorite songs. Thank you for your reaction,….

Gracias una vez más por reaccionar a EXO ❤ SALUDOS DESDE 🇺🇾🥰
Thanks for the reaction!!!
EXO’s story line is. Really difficult to understand, but very interesting! There are many theories, not really the truth.
Para perrear hasta abajo 😂🤭🔥 Más en la parte de SeHun !!
Thanks for your reaction ❤ please reaction exo don't fight the feeling
I've watched the MV so many times before but how can't i realized that there were wolfs around the girl.. i've never seen it 😅 woah pierre.. you have such a good sense on your eyes and ears 👍
Thank you so much...
This song is for the holidays, so us exo-ls are going to twerk all the way down 🤭😂🔥
Mr. Chanyeol🔥🔥
'Lotto 'esta conectada con "Monster ,...así como "Power" ,con "Sweet Lies ". 💗💕💕💞💞💗💗
Lotto is my favorit songs....
Ojalá pueda ver la presentación en vivo de Lighsable, Transforme y Overdose.
Le habló de Usted, por respeto, pero creo que tenemos la misma edad.
Lotto is great ♥ I hope you'll do more solo stuff! I can't wait to see you reacting to Hurdle and Grey Suit by Suho!
lotto!!!❤️🔥
One of the most famous EXO songs is "Growl" you should listen to it❤
Lotto or Louder. ❤️
Thank you for your reaction ❤
thank YOU
One of my favorite mv comments of all time was that Chanyeol handed her a mix tape 😂
(Baekhyun is B, not P. You do a good job with the pronunciation!)
thank you very much!
I always thought that they infiltrated and then rescued. Suho burned the money, Kai seemed to get the "bad" guy and tied him to the stake, they had the fight scene, etc. It seemed as though there was corruption that might be shown on the tape?
He gave her something???? All along I thought he just tried to hold her hand. Awww I was so wrong haha. Anyways, thank youuuu so much. Lotto is soo good. The chorus is soo sick good. The vocals, ofc, is soo good too.
I have been waiting to you for reaction this Lotto for a long time, finally! You did it very very very well❤ thank you for your hard work.
tbh I watched this clip while I eating my meal, I really enjoyed 😋🥰
thank you very much.
EXO♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for this video 🤍
I’d love to see you reacting to Taemin’s Guilty and Criminal, i’m sure you’ll love them
LV exo❤
Ok, the thing is that all the EXO videos fit together in their whole mythology. I understand some of it, but honestly, it's best to vibe with it. If you want to understand everything, you're going to have to go back to EXO-K and EXO-M and just basically make a Master's Degree study of it.
EXO now completes the story they left behind with “Call Me Baby” in the song LOTTO
Let's review the EXO concept together:
The concept of EXO and the meaning of the name "EXO" is an abbreviation for exoplanet (exoplanet)
We have all seen EXO's debut song MAMA. At the beginning, a voice appears telling a story in English and mentioning the Tree of Life (so the Tree of Life is not from Wolf, but from Mama).
With Growl and Wolf, EXO told a story that they were living a “normal” life until they met the girl, but what does the girl mean in EXO’s concept and what does it symbolize? The girl symbolizes love/the tree of life and we see how they protect her, even Kai brings all of them when the girl is kidnapped (this is all from the Exo wolf drama version video)
But Luhan loses himself (he hits D.O. without realizing it) and the girl’s tears are what bring him back to consciousness and himself.
But there is a danger, which is that love may make them lose control of themselves, so there is no happy ending, but with the song Miracles in December, EXO is alone, but they agree to live as ordinary people so that no one knows them (but they failed, as we saw with Lucky One and Monster, they were exposed).
But there is an important shot in Miracles in December, which is the eclipse, and everyone looks at the sky, and then time goes back for them, and all people move in the opposite direction (to return time), except for Exo, who are stationary. Why? Because they are the reason for the return of time
But the girl appears and then disappears quickly, so we can see the frustration on his face (Sehun’s face).
Let's continue the story with Sing For You
Who is EXO? What is their slogan? “We are one.” Then why did Chanyeol and Suho fight? Because it is a symbol of an internal conflict because he wants the girl but does not want to be revealed and love is his weakness
They chose this whale, which is the only whale in the world whose sound waves are loud, so it is alone and cannot communicate with other whales as an expression of loneliness and internal conflict. Overdose
Overdos are symbols
Her love has become a disease and an addiction to him, and the addict is weak
So he forgets himself and tries to get out of the maze
In the song Mama, the voice says: The red forces. Who are the red forces? Yes, they are the nurses at Lucky One who represent the “government” or controlling power
D.O. plays a strong role in Overdose, which is that at the beginning of the song he opens a box
This box is panadora box. What is this box? Just type it in by searching
D.O. considers that he has found the key and they will finish their mission and a new story will begin
This box is the EXO collection, but hands appeared in the box, which symbolizes that someone will catch them, meaning that they felt the box was opened.
EXO gathered but the Red Forces knew about them
To begin the running journey, which is pathcode
The broadcast code was a video uploaded by SM for each member and it contained a puzzle
They spent the entire Pathcode escaping from the red forces. What was the Pathcode chen video carrying? Yes, a book with Overdos written on it.. Why?
Because they did not get out of the maze, they realized that the government had enlarged the maze and was still in control, so they began to use their minds to break it.
Exo erased something like begging =end on the Pathcode website on the Twitter account. What does it symbolize?
What does it mean that beginning=end?
If our mind is played with, make it happy upside down
Look at the latest pathcode issued. What was it?
Yes it was D.O
What is the power of D.O.? Strength, then, is the center of EXO power/physical strength
He was the only one who led with Sing For You, Live Me Right and Pathcode
Because he is the force that will bring EXO together
We see him with the pathcode going and then he sees the other's pathcode gates all flashing and then the balls scattering
If he did? He edited EXO, and why, when he was driving, did he look like a woman to the party chair who was with him? Yes, EXO members, and because we did not understand it, show them with Sing For You
But everyone escapes and is trapped and uses their powers. So what happened?
Some of them seemed to lose control of their powers, like Chanyeol, and some only when they were cornered, like Baekhyun
Because they are afraid, now they are in a world under the command of the Red Forces who want to take their powers from them
So now we have confirmed that the pathcode is the inverse of start=end, so the correct order of the pathcode is:
D.O..Lay..Baekhyun..Chen..Suho..Sehun..Xiumin..Chanyeol..Tao..Kai It's not the other way around like SM uploaded it
Baekhyun, Kai, and Suho receive a message from D.O
Baekhyun's message was clear in English: Someone is following, and the voice sent was D.O., warning him that someone is following him.
Why should I call Kai first? Why is Kai important? Because he is the hardest person to kill, because his mobility is strong and he can move unlike the rest
(Remember that the pathcode was in reverse order, that was the game)
Then, after all of the escape, they reach a closed ending. What happened?
The "government" caught them and this is what we see in Lucky One. They were tied to the bed and injected with a black solution.
Where are they? Are they in the same place as wolf? No, they were taken to their place, exoplanet. They are no longer on Earth, because the whole atmosphere is strange, even the nurses and uniforms are all mama-type.
So what's the story of Love Me Right? I remember that its concept was Alice in Wonderland. What is Alice's story? She entered the world of dreams
What does this have to do with our story? When they were injected with the black serum, this is what happened. EXO went into a hallucination called Love Me Right (it was a hallucination)
Exo are together but they are not connected due to the serum and their detention
So they are weak
Love Me Right, the Japanese version, is all about monitors and TVs
The Ex-Cool even complained about Xiumin... but the ones watching them are the Red Forces
Some say that their presence in the hospital is also a hallucination, and that is why Kai did not use his strength, because his strength is to move with his mind, and because his mind was in a state of hallucination, he did not respond to him.
We can see at the end of Lucky One that the overdose maze appeared as a hint that that same force was the one who put it in the maze.
We see that when the members meet in the room, the glass finally breaks, and this is what the Red Forces fear. They are strong. By bringing together more than one member, the strength increases.
Even though they were injected with black serum
They begin to escape and use their powers as if they were freed from any restriction
To show their exit from the maze on the screen
(Nine leave, three remain)
And Monster begins... What does the snake have to do with Baekhyun? The snake is a symbol of betrayal, but Baekhyun said that he is not a traitor
The snake here is focused because he is a spy, so no one from the government attacked him while the remaining members were beaten
In the song, Baekhyun looks at Lay with deep looks because they are being watched (there are cameras before Baekhyun turns them off). He was trying to make Lay understand that he will have their back.
We see that Baekhyun is the only one in the blue room and EXO appear as eight without him because they decided to fight the Red Forces.
Most importantly, we see two things: the first is the burning car, the smoke from it goes down, and this is impossible because the smoke rises to the top
And the clock runs in reverse, meaning that this is all going back in time (like the manipulation that happened with the pathcode).
Things were calm until the pots started breaking
Chen's lost looks are at Baekhyun as if he is telling him, "We are done" because he knows that Baekhyun is the only one of them outside.
Then it appears as if Baekhyun is thinking alone and does not know what to do
At this moment, EXO loses control and begins hitting and fighting
Then the room Baekhyun was in is destroyed.. and EXO are captured
From us means they will finish and make Kai kneel (Kai always stands at the end of performances as the main dancer - he does not kneel -)
But Baekhyun saves them by taking the truck they are trapped in, which is most likely headed to that government leadership, and then he takes off the mask and shows his face, then he gathers them, and as Suho said, the end is open, now that force knows them and is pursuing them.
It is true that they fled, but they were under their watch
Some say that they lost control of themselves because of what they injected them with, and that they are not monsters, but what they injected them with is what will change them.
Oh WOW, thank you for all that! Really interesting. Their lore is crazy deep and intertwined....
Yo tengo la teoría de que la chica es como un símbolo, como evocando a la suerte o la fortuna que tienen atrapada, porque ellos son jugadores . Y al final cuando los atrapan, les quitan la suerte
Saludos desde la CDMX
killing point of this song: baekhyun's "lipstick chateau wine-bit colour" part forreal like ughh it is METH it even became a tiktok trend! also yes u pronounced his name right at 4:52 with a B
Hope you could watch SWEET LIES live performance !
cosmic relway for exo please
Baekhyun's so seductive iconic lipstick line that led to that colour selling out. One of EXO's fun facts.
The song is heavily part of their concept story, but there are differing opinions how. Most go on the line of them trying to beat the influence of their enemy or counterparts, the Red Force. They are either pulling them in to fight or trying to break their access to easy money. Others think they are trying to get money to fight on and the Red Force manage to raid it - either as themselves or via corrupt police. The end passing over the tape makes it lean more towards them trying to beat the Red Force.
Baekhyun once said, while promoting in America with SuperM, to call him Bacon as this was like his name and easier and he likes to relax people. I'm not sure it's a favourite for him, but it helps on the way to saying it properly. it's a B sound at the start.
It wasn't a surprise you choose D.O. as the thumbnail ;)
React to Cosmic Railway in live 😮❤
Thanks you ❤❤❤
Lotto is mean Lottery
ngl the cultural impact of "lipstick chateau wine bit color" line needs to be studied
If it werent for this, I wouldn't know that it was a tape
Baekhyun ❤❤
12:50
Baek: more B
thank you for that
I found is so cute when you curious what the girl take it from chanyeol 😂
I want to tell you that you have to listen to the cover song "Love Yourself" by D.O. and Chanyeol. There’s a video of the song's lyrics on UA-cam.
You have to react to EXO-SC What a Life
Sir , Next please react to Lay EXO " Flying Apsaras " Visualizer and dance practice . Thank you
Love me right - REACTİON PLEASEEEEEE
Thank you ❤❤❤❤
thank YOU
First again 😂😂😂
Isn’t this song also titled Louder, given Korea’s total ban on gambling.
Baekhyun pronunced with a B rhymes with bacon
Thank you for that!
Although i love how the producer used the autotune for the concept but i still prefer EXO live stage without it ❤❤
Hello every one 😊
Hello every two :)
The wolves represent the forces of evil, and the girl who is running represents the tree of life. As for the women wearing white masks and white clothes, they are the ones who work in the Loki One laboratory. Here it appears that EXO is trying to save the girl, but in the end they are arrested, but they are freed in the song Monster. To know all this, you must know the story. EXO because all the music videos you see and the visuals are planned and not put together in vain
Lucky one **
ㅂ - pronounced more of a B
ㅃ - pronounced more of a P
So it's BAEKHYUN. Hope it helps.
Thank you
Serigala wanita dan adegan di MV itu semua mempunyai teori jadi mau dijelaskan tp bingung mau mulai dari mana soalnya berkaitan sama Mv sebelumnya dan MV setelahnya 😭🗿😁
This is cool😍What is your favorite kpop group?😇😁😁
That is a difficult question.... Lets say I have a top 10 that sometimes varies (only listing the still active groups) .... In no particular order - XG - ITZY - TWICE - aespa - NEW JEANS - DREAMCATCHER - (G)I-dle - NMIXX -LE SSERAFIM - KISS OF LIFE - NIZIU - and of course there has to be BLACKPINK because they got me hooked on kpop in 2016
There are so many really good artists out there (RED VELVET, Oh My Girl, Kep1er, H1Key, Mamamoo, StayC, SNSD, 2NE1, IZ*ONE, etc....) and I don't consider myself as someone who has a favorite. I'm a musician myself, play guitar and sing ... and for me there is something in every musician and artist that is special. I enjoy very many things in music and try to stay everywhere with my ears....
My favorite solo artists are - IU - BIBI - LEE YOUNGJI - TAEYEON - CHUU - YENA - JESSI - LiSA (japanese artist)
As for those groups that have disbanded I really enjoyed CLC and LOONA. I am absolutely happy about that the ex members of Loona moved on so that CHUU and HEEJIN had their solo debuts last year and LOOSEMBLE debuted and the "return" of ODD EYE CIRCLE ....
As you might have noticed they are all female. I hardly listen to male singers in my free time. I just love the tone of female voices so much more and can somehow connect to them emotionally more than to a male voice.
Male groups are still a thing I am exploring. But I do really like STRAY KIDS and EXO. SEVEENTEEN and ATEEZ are cool, but other than that I haven't gotten into much male groups yet. I still have BTS and DAY6 and lots more to discover.....
There are a few male solo artist I had followed before though, and that would be Jay Park, Loco and Colde.
@@NeonReactionsPierre This is wonderful. You really know a lot about kpop. I share your opinion with much of what you mentioned. The world of kpop is truly wonderful. For me, my favorites are" EXO"in the first place. I have been an EXOL for 8 years, then" twice, Blackpink, and BTS" those who I listen to all the time🥰and then the other gorups ❤Of course, I listen to most of the bands you mentioned. All K-Pop groups are creative and their music is catchy and different❤💖
