In the beginning of EXO's "Overdose" MV what we see is that the members have been trapped in a maze by the Red Force and they are trying to use their superpowers to escape the maze. For example, in the Korean version we see Chen, who has the ability to control thunder and lightning, throw a beam of light and Lay catches it. Lay is the only one who could have caught that lightning bolt without being injured because he has the power of healing and he can heal himself. The story in the MV is pretty much the members trying to summon their powers to try and escape from the maze. The box that D.O. had at the beginning of the MV was full of dirt. D.O.'s superpower is force, which is summoned by the manipulation of earth elements, such as dirt, and it gives him super strength, so he was using the sand to build his strength back up. The other members were also trying to use their powers of teleportation, fire, light, etc. In the beginning when we see the EXO-K members making that picture while standing on each other, they are forming their hexagon symbol, which is EXO's official symbol. (In the Mandarin version, you will notice it's different members.) The different sets we see, are thought to be different rooms within the maze, or maybe alternate realities or time periods created by the Red Force to lure the EXO members to them. In the EXO-K version of "Overdose" the K members sing the main parts of the song and they are the first group of 6 we see. (When we see them revisit the same sets in the MV the group we see is the 6 EXO-M members.) If you watch the Mandarin version, you will see the M members take over the main parts of the song and the K members are the ones we see second. So, even when the MVs look the same, they will always be slightly different because the members are assigned different parts in each MV. For example, in the Korean version, the EXO-K rappers (Chanyeol and Sehun) are the ones that are part of the rap section. However, if you watch the Mandarin version, you will see Kris, Xiumin and Tao are the rappers because they are EXO-M's rappers. Tao is also the martial artist of the group, so he is the one that does the flips and stunts in EXO's routines. And the main vocal parts and high notes are done by Baekhyun in the Korean version, but in the Mandarin version that part is Chen's because he is EXO-M's main vocalist, etc. The song is designed to sound like that because it's supposed to give the listener a disorienting feeling. The song is structured the way it is to represent the feeling of being trapped in the maze and being confused because the EXO members are being manipulated by the Red Force. (Even the style and beat of the songs are intended to be a part of the concept within EXO's storyline.) Plus, the song is called "Overdose" so it is supposed to give you the feeling of being drugged like you are overdosing on love. Although, in the song they're not overdosing on anything except love. As the English lines in the song say: "So bad, no one can stop her ... her love, her love (is) fantasy ... Oh she wants me, Oh she's got me ... Oh she hurts me ... someone call the doctor ... (her love makes me) overdose ... too much of your love makes me overdose ... too much overdose ... You're in my heart ... with you I can't stop", etc. This song is kind of a love song about how powerful love can be that it feels like no matter how much you try to resist it you keep getting pulled back in like a drug. Although, for the storyline in the MV there might be a little more at play than just being drugged by love. Some theories say that the story in "Overdose" is connected to the story in their "Lucky One" MV. In "Overdose" the members get trapped in the maze and they can't find their way out. The red light represents the Red Force who have trapped them in the maze. It's thought that the maze causes the members to get disoriented and sort of become incapacitated so they are unable to defend themselves. The maze dulls their senses and makes it so they lose the ability to use their powers at full strength, etc. At the end of the MV, if you look at the design of the maze, we discover that the maze has only one way in and no way out. Which I think is meant to represent and mirror the fact that they are saying they are trapped by love and once you are in there is no way out. The maze was also EXO's logo for this album and it's shaped like EXO's hexagon symbol. Also, something to note, we see Kai in the beginning and end of the MV in the Korean version because he is the center and visual of EXO-K. However, in the Mandarin version you will see Luhan fills that same role because he was the center and visual of EXO-M. Plus, Kai and Luhan were each other's power counterparts as well. Therefore, this establishes the connection between EXO-K and EXO-M. Kai and Luhan were supposed to have a bond that connected the two groups and made them one as part of EXO's storyline. The theory speculates that sometime after the end of the "Overdose" MV, EXO gets captured or transferred from the maze -- or possibly moved to another room within the maze -- and brought to a government facility by the Red Force. That is why we see them in a hospital-like setting in their "Lucky One" MV. In the story in the "Lucky One" MV the members are drugged by the Red Force and they are being experimented on to discover what makes them so special. So, the maze is thought to have been created by the Red Force in order to gain control of the EXO members. Their "Overdose" MV establishes the fact that EXO are trapped in a maze, which is why we believe that several of EXO's other MVs are also showing them trapped in the maze and trying to figure out how to escape, etc. This storyline doesn't end here, it continues in several of their other MVs. As you are discovering, all of the stories in EXO's MVs are connected. We just have to pay close attention to every detail and put the pieces together. "Overdose" came out in 2014 and this is one of the last MVs where all 12 members are part of the song and MV. (Kris left the group right after this MV was released and Luhan will leave within the next 6 months.) You should watch the Mandarin versions of "Overdose," as well. :D If you watch EXO-M's version of "Overdose" you will understand why we say even though they may seem like they are similar MVs, there are distinct differences between the Korean and Mandarin versions that are important to EXO's storyline. Plus, I think you may even enjoy the Mandarin version of the song just as much, or more.
I had heard that the set design was recreating the interior of the Eribong (the light stick). After watching the MV, it seems to have some credibility ~ flashing of lights, dome, and other similarities.
Honestly, I personally really like EXO's ballads, like "Miracle in December", "Universe", "Sing for You", "Let Me In", and many more. They all have MVs. Maybe you want to listen.
It would be great if you reacted to some of EXO-M's stuff at some point, they tend to get overlooked which is crazy as they are amazing. (EXO-M bias here!)
Later, when or if you watch a guide some things in the MV's will make more sense as a lot of stuff has to do with their lore. Enjoying the Exo reaction 😊😊 Please react to Mamamoo as well. My 2 favorite groups in kpop😊😊😊😊
Someone already explained the K and M of the names in the comments, so later when some of the members In M left they just switched to exo and dropped the M and K later
