EXO CBX is such a great sub unit! Chen and Xiumin really got to show their flexibility, their range, some rapping! I LOVE Horololo, probably my favourite CBX track. They did a whole Japan tour called the Magical Circus Show, it was so good! I believe there's going to be a reunion of CBX this year, hopefully, fingers crossed!! Glad you enjoyed them!
Xiumin is the ACE of EXO. People before were saying that he was not as talented as the others because he was not part of any main line, but he and the others members answered that he was a lead in all the others because he is that one the helps and fill up exo as an ACE and as a Base member of the group, and I cannot agree more. His dancing is TOP, he is in incredible vocal and his rap is just as good as gis others skills.
blooming day dance practice is a must. xD
the whole blooming days album was seriously one of my favorite albums. each song represented a day of the week and the whole album was very cohesive and showed their strengths very well.
stop that sounds sooo cute😭 gonna add it to the list!
Exo~cbx is amazing I recommend their live stage/ cry, paper cut, gentleman etc
And "vroom vroom"
Yess, CBX is such a fun unit. They really need to make a comeback ASAP. You need to check out their live stage as well! I recommend "Ka-Ching", "Vroom Vroom", "Playdate", "Paper Cuts", "Cry", "Diamond Crystal" from their Magical Circus Concert and also "The One" MV.
I love exo-cbx and here XIUMIN shows how talented he is. He can shine brightly❤❤❤
In EXO-CBX's "Blooming Day", as you probably noticed, throughout the MV CBX are surrounded by flowers. The song is called "Blooming Day" so the flowers are part of the theme, but fan theories also point to the fact that flowers play a prominent role in EXO's storyline as well. In the majority of EXO's MVs, and even in some of their live performances, you see flowers. It is thought that EXO may be collecting flowers because they will help them in their quest or they want to prevent the Red Force from using the flowers for evil.
What you see them blending up is thought to be flowers. In EXOs "Love Me Right" MV we see Xiumin mixing a potion of some kind and that is also thought to be made of flowers, so we think this is somehow connected to the purple liquid you see him mixing in "Blooming Day" -- although I am still not sure what the potion will be used for. Also, if you notice, the liquid is purple, and usually when you see purple this represents an instance where the line between the Red Force and EXO are blurred -- red represents the Red Force and Blue represents EXO -- red and blue mixed together make purple.
Some theories think that maybe Xiumin and Baekhyun are suspicious of Chen, that is why they seem to be trying to stop him from leaving or doing whatever he is trying to do. For instance, we see Baekhyun hit Chen in the back of the head with a marble using a slingshot, which looks as though he is trying to stop or prevent Chen from doing something. Some think maybe Chen is a spy that has been brainwashed by the Red Force -- or maybe he is his evil X-EXO clone -- and Xiumin and Baekhyun are starting to suspect him. But others think that maybe it's Chen who is the good guy and Xiumin and Baekhyun are acting as pawns in the Red Forces' game.
However, my theory is that it is more likely that Baekhyun is the one with good intentions, because as evidenced in "Power," "Tempo," "Love Shot," and "Monster", etc. it looks as though Baekhyun may have been one of the members who has been able to avoid being controlled by the Red Force. We see Baekhyun singled out and involved in efforts to help EXO in multiple situations throughout EXO's storyline.
We also see Xiumin with a key, and some theories say that is the key to unlock the door to another dimension or to release them from this room they are trapped in. It is thought that EXO are traveling through time periods and between dimensions in their search for the Tree of Life. And as part of their mission, they are also trying to fix and prevent the Red Force from corrupting humanity and destroying the planet. So, because of this, the Red Force is trying to prevent EXO from being able to accomplish their goals by trapping them or controlling them or putting roadblocks in their way, etc.
In "Blooming Day" CBX could be trapped in another room within the Red Forces' maze like we see in EXO's "Overdose," "Lucky One," and "For Life" MVs, etc. And they are all slowly coming out of the fog that the Red Force put them in, which allowed them to be captured in the first place. For example in "Tempo" we see some of the members just lazily sitting around, kind of staring off into space, like they are in a trance, which is thought to be because they have been trapped in the maze for so long their minds have become clouded by the Red Force.
However, if you notice, in "Blooming Day" the room that they are in is pure white (the main colors we see are created by colored lights, not paint), and some theories think that white rooms are an indication that EXO are starting to gain back control. In the beginning of EXO's "Overdose" MV, we see that the maze is dark and grey and the members are unable to fight back because the Red Force has done something to dull their senses and cloud their minds. However, throughout their MVs you start to see EXO fighting back and conquering obstacles as the rooms and environments go from grey to white. So, Baekhyun hitting Chen in the head with the marble, could also be his way of knocking some sense into Chen and bringing him out of the fog the Red Force has had them trapped in.
The cat that you see in this MV is also an important part of EXO's storyline. At different times a cat is thought to represent EXO-Ls or the heart of the Tree of Life. We see a cat, which is thought to represent EXO-Ls in their "Power" MV. And there's a cat with an eye patch in EXO-CBX's "Crush U" MV, which theories say could possibly be the spirit of the heart of the Tree of Life. Cats also often have a place of honor and respect in a lot of monarchies and cultures throughout history. And EXO has been sent to Earth by a leader that they referred to as "Your Majesty," as we hear in "Mama." Therefore, it makes sense that the cat would have a place of honor in EXO's story, whether it represents us fans or the Tree of Life.
When it comes to EXO, absolutely everything down to the smallest detail is done for a very specific reason and it's all designed to give hidden messages and meaning and to help tell another piece of EXO's story. So even the most expert of fans who have really analyzed every detail with everything that EXO does, is still probably missing certain clues. You actually can never really over think anything in EXO's MVs, because if you think something means something, it probably does. There is never only one message being given in the story either, and it's never simple, so it's easy to miss things.
"Blooming Day" is part of EXO-CBX's Blooming Days album and there is one song for every day of the week. "Blooming Day" is Tuesday's song.
Now you need to check out CBX's "Blooming Day" dance practice. This is one of EXO's most impressive dances and what you saw in the MV doesn't even begin to do their choreography justice. :)
I love EXO!! And I love this sub unit, I really think EXO has the best vocals in all k-pop, they’re so talented, and yes Xumin it’s so talented (love his eyes ♥️). For much EXO and MONSTA X are my favorite groups.
Bendiciones 🙏🏻💕
Girl you being wrecked by Xiumin throughout each song is relatable and the fact that you're still trying to digest the fact he's the oldest 😂 CBX and SC is the best thing that ever happened to these boys. Xiumin can finally show his vocals and Sehun can finally show his rapping. Both groups are visually so beautiful that its really distracting from their singing 😂 I still thirst over Xiumin's rap in Hey Mama along with his fancam on Artificial Love. He's such an Ace. I'd really recommend to check out "The One" by CBX just for the fun of it. You'll even see Baekhee in it 😜
I love how much you enjoyed this! Can you imagine if CBX and DoJaeJung went on tour together? Talk about trio paradise lmao
You muuuust watch the dance practice for Blooming Day, like it's super popular dance practice because it's just so good lol
CBX and DJJ, I would die and come back to life repeatedly throughout the whole show LOL
Blooming Day is a masterpiece. Honestly, I think she's my all time favorite kpop song ever and I have heard a lot over all these years of being a kpop fan. It's been years and she's still as good as when it was released.
In EXO-CBX's "Hey Mama" MV, the widely accepted theory is that the Red Force has infiltrated the news media and they are controlling humanity through the news that is being broadcast on TV. The members of CBX have gone undercover to try and stop the Red Force.
One of the easiest, and most central, themes in all of EXO's MVs and everything they do, is the use of red. When you see the color red or red light this is used to symbolize something to do with the Red Force. But it doesn't always mean the members or people involved are the Red Force. In the case of "Hey Mama", I think it's showing how the Red Force is the ones that are in control of whatever is covered in red at that moment.
For example, if you pay attention to how the people act when red colored objects are being used in the "Hey Mama" MV, you will see that they act like they are in a trance or being controlled by something. Therefore, because the paper the newscaster reads from is red and the drinks the people are drinking in the conference room are red, this is showing how the Red Force is controlling them. If you notice, everyone, including CBX, is acting like robots or zombies -- as if they are in a trance -- when red is involved. The news reporters are reading the news that is printed on red papers with expressionless looks on their faces, and they are all acting like robots in the conference room while drinking the red liquid. We see CBX typing on the computers while staring into space because they are thought to be falling under the control of the Red Force.
However, as soon as Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin get rid of the red paper and the red drinks, etc. the people start to come to life and act more normal. (Notice the color of the drinks change when they aren't being controlled.)
As you can see, not only is EXO's story based on fantasy and sci-fi concepts, but it is partially based on real societal issues and events and topics that SM wants to shine a light on. When you really think about it, a lot of EXO's story is a social commentary on the problems and issues that we as humans are dealing with in real life -- such as environmental issues, war, technology, media (LOL "fake news"), etc.
Yet again, this is another example of the use of flowers. In this MV you see Baekhyun dropping flower petals down on Chen and they collect bunches of flowers and we see them burning them in the fire, etc. Although I'm not positive what the real effect flowers have in EXO's story yet, in "Hey Mama" it seems as though the flowers help to bring them out of the trance that the Red Force is trying to trap them in.
And, notice how, yet again, it looks like they aren't in a present-day time period. Everything looks like its happening in an older era -- maybe around the 1980s or early '90s (the computers and TV cameras they are using are all older-style models) -- which means that this probably is showing how CBX has traveled back in time or are in an alternate reality, etc. What EXO is trying to do is change history and fix the problems that the Red Force has caused, which has led up to, or caused, the problems in our present reality.
We also see Xiumin scribbling a circle on the paper as if he is mindlessly drawing something, which could be connected to the fact that we see Chen scribbling a similar circle on a piece of paper in EXO's "Universe" MV.
As you can see, EXO-CBX is a sub-unit of EXO, made up of 3 of EXO's main/lead vocalists -- Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin -- hence the name CBX. (Xiumin has always been known as a lead rapper in EXO-M, so yes, CBX allows him to show off his rap skills. But, as you've heard, Baekhyun -- and sometimes Chen -- also becomes a rapper when they are a member of CBX, which is different than what we normally get to hear from them as a member of EXO.)
Fun fact: This sub-unit was created because, at the time, Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin were the only members who didn't have any side projects. They were all in the gym working out together discussing what they should do while everyone else was working on other things, and their trainer suggested they form a sub-unit. So, they took the idea to the company and SM agreed that they would make a good unit.
Also, did you notice how they had 6 backup dancers? With CBX there are always 6 backup dancers because 9 is a good number when it comes to formations in choreography, but fans think it's also supposed to mirror the fact that as members of EXO, even as a sub-unit they are still part of the main group. As you know, EXO has 9 members so, the 6 backup dancers are supposed to be a visual representation of the rest of the members of EXO. EXO-CBX was EXO's first sub-sub-unit and some think that SM wanted to create a way to make it clear that just because they are a sub-unit it doesn't mean that they aren't still connected to everything that makes them EXO.
Now you gotta do some live performances. The "EXO(엑소)- White Noise + Thunder + PLAYBOY + Artificial Love" performance is like a right of passage for EXO-L's to watch...best of luck to you because it is....something :P
AHHHHHH OMG... I knew you would eventually get around to CBX but I was not expecting it so soon! What a pleasant surprise!! Fun Fact: Blooming Day was my very first Kpop song/MV I checked out and I was so hooked that down the rabbit hole I went into EXO... And the rest is history!! Can't wait to see your journey continue! 🥰💕
no wonder you got hooked these songs are so funn!!
I am so in love with how you keep screaming "Xiumin... Xiumin..
.. haha... Cuz although I love all 8 of them and D.O is my Ult.B (Sehun also though..🥴), Xiumin is the little one that I want to keep in my pocket and bring along wherever I go..🤭🤭🤭.. Help me!! I have a lot of trouble in choosing Bias in this group..😖😖😖.. and again, love your reaction and really happy to watch them with you!💕💕
Their choreo is wonderful (and none are in the "dance" line) and even more impressive when you realise that both Chen and Baekhyun had only 6 months to train before debut.
Another fun thing about these three: they all have black belts in various martial arts (maybe helped them catch on to dance quickly...?) They are impressive in every way and sooooo much fun.
Baekhyun and the others have said that CBX will be coming back this year and I trust them (CBX's activities will now be managed under Baekhyun's company since he founded INB100 )
Xiumin is in the dance line and has been there since Exo M 😭
@@ingrid6295 I meant no offense, I should have said "main dance" Xiumin has always been listed as lead to my memory... But I tend not to pay attention to that and so I use " " because I don't take it seriously....
EXO CBX!!! Really hope they do a comeback soon. Its been a while. The only korean group I have watched with live band all through out their concerts. Each of them has a solo song too which they performed amazingly. Chen - Watch Out, Baekhyun - Ringa Ringa Ring and Xiumin - Shake ( this was on the guide) please try reacting to these. CBX live performances are usually from Japan tho. 😢
Blooming day dance practice is a must!☺️🥰❤️

Xiumin and Chen are bias wreckers. Hahaha they have their charms that make you fall in love with them.
I know this is completely out of nowhere, but I just wanna say you're so pretty 😭💞🥰😍😍. Loving these EXO reactions, anyway back to the video. ❤
As I understand it, Horololo is a made up word that the EXO-CBX members said is meant to mean something like tough or brave. You say it when you want to show someone that you are fearless.
The vibe and style of the song has a very Japanese feel to it. I think it's designed to blend modern Japanese music styles with western sounds and beats. "Horololo" is one of CBX's Japanese songs. As you may have noticed, they are speaking Japanese and English in this song. CBX is really popular in Japan, they have even held a Japanese concert tour with just this sub-unit.
It's thought that the woman or lover that EXO sings about in the lyrics of their songs, and you sometimes see in their MVs, is supposed to be a manifestation of the heart to the Tree of Life, so the reason why the lyrics of "Horololo" are so aggressive is because they are making it clear that they are going to fight to break the control of the Red Force and they will do whatever it takes to find the Tree of Life and reunite the two halves in order to restore peace in the world, etc. It's the whole reason why EXO are here on Earth in the first place. They won't let the Tree of Life, i.e. the girl, give up on them because they aren't giving up until they accomplish their mission. "She" is the whole reason why the EXO members are doing what they are doing. (The "Horololo" lyrics really aren't any more aggressive than EXO's "Monster" and "Wolf" lyrics. If you look up the lyrics to those songs you will see that EXO are also beasts who talk about grabbing and devouring the girl and not letting her go until they possess her and ruin her, so no one else can have her, etc.)
In the "Horololo" MV many people think that CBX are private investigators or detectives, and I agree, that could be their job. However, I like to think maybe they are investigative journalists. I think they are more likely to be journalists than police officers because if they were cops, I think SM would have made it more obvious by showing someone who is arrested being brought in to the station or we would have seen someone in a jail cell or something along those lines.
One of the theories behind EXO's storyline is that the members are traveling through different time periods or dimensions throughout history in their search for the Tree of Life and in their quest to try and fix the destruction and corruption the Red Force has caused throughout humanity. (Which I think has only become more plausible and clearer now that we have seen them reversing time in their new "Let Me In" MV.) So, as you have seen, CBX in particular, has several retro themed MV, which I see as possibly being CBX traveling to that era in history to try and get to the root of whatever problems the Red Force has caused to try to reverse, stop or prevent something from happening.
Therefore, in "Horololo" I interpret it as the members are trying to uncover clues to a mystery or to search for someone. I think maybe they are searching for Lay because he is the member that is away from the group. And because Lay, with his power of healing, is Baekhyun's power counterpart, it makes sense that Baekhyun would feel the strongest need to want to find Lay. Plus, EXO really needs Lay to heal everything that is going wrong right now and to protect the members from themselves and the Red Force.
There are also clues to the members searching for Lay in Lay's solo "Honey" MV and Baekhyun's solo debut "UN Village" MV, as well as other clues that seem to connect to "Horololo" in those MVs. For example, if you notice the map on the wall in the office in "Horololo," that map looks very similar to the map that Baekhyun has on the wall in his "UN Village" MV. I'm not really sure what the map is showing us at this point, but I think it's a clue to connect the two MVs.
At one point we also see Xiumin studying a painting or photograph on a canvas. Although I can't really see the picture well, I think it looks like it might be a woman standing in a field, which I interpret as could be the woman that represents the heart of the Tree of Life that EXO have been following, rescuing and chasing after throughout their storyline. And the fact that we see her standing in what looks like a field might explain why we see all 3 of the CBX members in the wheat field looking for something.
Also, if CBX are investigative reporters, it might help explain how the storyline in their "Hey Mama" MV and "Horololo" MV are intertwined. In "Hey Mama" CBX have infiltrated a news TV station and they are working to break the control the Red Force has over everyone working for the TV station. TV reporters are another type of journalists who also investigate and report the news. "Hey Mama" also has a retro theme. However, that MV is set more in the late '80s or early '90s because we see the CBX members using older desktop computers, which just further shows how they could be traveling to different time periods.
Journalists have a lot of similarities to private detectives, especially during the 1950s, '60s. '70s, '80s era, which both "Hey Mama" and "Horololo" MVs seem to be themed around. (If you notice, people are not using computers in that office in "Horololo," so that establishes how they are in a less modern era.) So, that's why I think CBX might be undercover as part of the media in both MVs.
I really see parallels in the "Horololo" MV storyline to the way investigative reporting was done before technology made it less necessary to do the footwork needed to track down the sources and information to crack a case or break a story. Kind of like, for example, in the Woodward and Bernstein era with confidential informants like "Deep Throat," etc. I think CBX might be searching for something to do with Lay, as well as the Tree of Life and the Red Force, etc. but I think they are currently doing it by way of the media.
As you just saw in EXO's "Love Me Right" MV, we see Baekhyun laying on the train tracks. I think the scene in the field with Xiumin sitting on the train tracks and Chen taking photos while standing on the train tracks in "Horololo" is somehow connected to that scene in "Love Me Right." (And I also think it's connected to the train theme in all of SM's other groups' and artists' MVs.) These scenes on their own may seem strange, but if you have been following EXO's story from day one, you will see that even the most minute of details, no matter how strange or out of place it may seem, has actually been very purposefully thought out and designed to be a clue to another part of EXO's story.
Although, I don't know what it means yet, I am positive that that guy in the uniform who is sitting in the shed next to the train tracks, was there for a very specific reason, and it will probably become clearer in the future as SM reveals more of the story in other MVs, we just have to wait and see.
At the end when they say "It ain't over yet" what I think they mean is that the story has not ended yet. The storyline of them searching for clues will continue in their future MVs. And if you notice, the office is now covered in sheets of plastic like its under construction or it has been mothballed and covered up because it has now been abandoned. I'm not sure what this means either, but I think it is showing something to do with the fact that they are traveling back and forth between time periods and they may have come back to the location from a different time in history.
Baekhyun will be the death of me, I literally have tunnel vision for him
YES EXO❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Loved your reaction!!❤❤ I really love exo too can't wait for more reaction❤❤
3 chipmunks 🐿️❤
I haven't watched this yet, I'm just excited for it!!! You're going to love this!
I love CBX ❤
All three of these songs are so catchy. You definitely need to check out the dance practice for Blooming Day, as the MV barely shows it. It’s one of my fav dance practices & it’s so good - particularly as it doesn’t even contain EXO’s main dance line.
Please react to CBX Paper Cuts (live) - it’s my all time favorite EXO song ever
