I recommend that you react to Monster and Lotto, they came out in the same year (2016), or Call me Baby and Love me right that came out in 2015, to go according to the dates: D
EXO is the group with the most legendary concept in Kpop and EXO is the first group to have a concept in Kpop. EXO’s concept is they are Aliens from an EXO planet, their planet got destroyed and they came to earth, they all have powers (like wind, light, water, ice, fire, unicorn) and EXO’s anemy Red Force wants to steal it. They live in parallel universes but get together during ab eclipse. Their MVs are interconnected. Their latest music video in Obsession they have been cloned by the Red Force and the real EXO is fighting against their own clowns X-EXO. Their all the MVs, concert VCRs and album teasers are connected and are telling a part of the story. When they were still attending the awards shows the VCRs before their performances were a part of that too
EXO are the first to create a fictional storyline. Kpop groups have been doing concepts since the very beginning, starting with Seo Taiji and Boys. It's a defining aspect of the entire genre. Storylines are just a type of concept. But they were definitely the first to create a storyline concept.
EXO is a group known for the excellence of their live vocals and EXO's nickname in the industry is "Vocal Kings". Please react to EXO Best Live Vocals 2020
EXO are considered vocal kings of kpop They have some of the best vocalists and dancers in the industry Their music is mostly RnB but they have done other genres too
Long story short, Exo are aliens from Exoplanet, they are fighting against the Red Force who are trying to steal their powers. Each member of Exo has a special power and in Obsession MV specifically they are fighting against evil clones of themsleves made by the Red Force. They've had this concept since their debut song, MAMA (which means "your highness" or "your majesty" in Korean). not all of their MVs are directly related to their storyline but MVs like Obsession, Kokobop, Lucky One, MAMA, and Power are more prominent MVs in the storyline. If you ever want tot know more I suggest checking out a Concept Guide for Exo
Yes and What is love. Even on their concerts, you can see their 'superpowers' And also their VCRs. That's what I've learned from watching Cesar Oh's Concept Guide. Even their solo albums are somehow being connected
Finally got to do a reaction video to EXO. Please excuse me not having captions, I will have displayed from now on. If someone could be so kind and paste the lyrics here in comments just in case💕. Hope you enjoy/enjoyed.

It's okay. Totally understand you because the MV itself is a lot to take in. You can check the lyric video separately instead so you can focus on one thing at a time. :) I,for one, listen to the melody first. If I like it, then I'll check the lyrics after. But do whatever is comfortable to you.
This is a kpop group that has real talent and not just popularity. Exo are called the vocal kings of kpop. Their main vocalists are the best not only in kpop but internationally.
To see their vocal highlights please react to their Universe, For Life, Sing For You MVs, for colorful concepts Kokobop, Love Me Right MVs, for sexy concept Love Shot MV and another dark concepts Monster and Lotto MVs
In Obsession video they were actually fighting themselves ,their evil side X-Exo thats what the song and the video talks about Actually Exo has a concept that they are from another planet, Exo planet, a planet out of our solar system ( EXO means outer) and each member has its own superpower,they are chased by the Red force(+ more details) all their Mvs are connected and have to do with this concept but its too complicated In this MV in the end shows that their planet cought fire , which means that their evil side won
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 and Suho 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. 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. Everything EXO is involved in, and I literally mean almost everything, is connected in some way to their concept and storyline. EXO's MVs are kind of like a movie -- it's a movie that has been going on for the past 9 years -- since predebut -- and it has no sign of coming to an end any time soon. The one thing you have to keep in mind with all of EXO's MVs, and I really mean all of them -- including their sub-sub-unit MVs and a majority of the member's solo MVs. And because Baekhyun and Kai are involved, even SuperM's storyline -- is that they are all connected and they all tell a little more of EXO's story and why they are on Earth, 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. So to really understand EXO, if you haven't already, you need to start from the very beginning and watch both of their "Mama" MVs. 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. Exo, as in exoskeleton, means "outer," so as a member of EXO they are outside the ordinary.The group's concept comes from the real term exoplanet, which is a term that is used for a planet that is outside our solar system, so their name was chosen to represent the fact that they are stars that are "out of this world" when it comes to their talents. EXO's concept is also connected to real life planetary and solar events, so several of EXO's comebacks and new song releases for the main group of EXO are timed to when eclipses and other planetary phenomenons take place. For example, their comeback for their War album and Power repackaged album coincided with when we had a solar eclipse, etc. SM Entertainment, and its founder, Lee SooMan, has all of EXO's release dates and concepts planned out for years in advance, and it often has something to do with real celestial events that are predicted to take place. 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 of the members. Kris and Luhan left in 2014 and Tao left in 2015.) 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. 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 it hasn't necessarily been 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 "Jopping" storyline. If you pay attention to what Baekhyun and Kai were wearing in that MV, those outfits are very similar to the black outfits that Baekhyun and Kai are wearing in "Obsession." 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 because the members in black are supposed to be the EXO members who are the good guys, it seems to also indicate that the members who are in SuperM are the EXO members and not their X-EXO clones. 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. To help you pinpoint the powers being used in their 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 symbolizes his role within EXO's storyline.) 🌪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 unit) The Chinese members who have now left the group: 🐉 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 💭 Luhan was a main vocalist and his power was telekinesis (The ability to control things with his mind) ⏰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
Exo is leaned more towards the R&B sound of kpop and their music quality is seen as pretty much the best in kpop. yall should definitely check out their other stuff such as "Monster" or "Love Shot". "Call Me Baby" is also very much a classic
Welcome to the EXO-planet! "Call Me Baby", "Love Shot", "Ko Ko Bob", "Overdose", "Growl", "Wolf" and finally "Mama", the most iconic debut song in the whole Kpop industry.
EXO, the vocal kings with one of the best vocalists , dancers and visuals of the K-pop Industry. EXO is a Vocal and Visual group...also one of the most experimental group of the group, they never stay at a single genre..!!! Also all the members are multi-talented...
The song is called "Tempo" and the album is named Don't Mess Up My Tempo, so the song is constantly changing tempos. I think the change in tempo is also supposed to mirror the uncertainty and unsteadiness that EXO are feeling within the storyline in the MV. However, if you read the lyrics, you see that the song is talking to a girl and they are telling her, "Don't mess up my tempo." And yes, part of the tempo in the song is created by the squeak of what is thought to be bed springs. However, as with everything EXO does, there are duel meanings depending on how deeply you want to interpret the song and MV. On the surface the song and MV is meant to be enjoyed by the casual watcher and listener like you would any song on the radio, but if you want to delve in deeper and explore EXO's storyline, then there is so much more going on. As an SM group, it shouldn't be a surprise that EXO are amazing vocalists. That is just what SM is known for. You can't be an SM artist without having amazing vocals and dance skills. That's just a fact about the type of people SM selects to become part of its company. All of SM's artists were first chosen for their vocal and/or dance skills, and even the rappers get intense training as vocalists. None of SM's rappers became a trainee because of their rap skills, all of the company's rappers learned to rap, or really became good at it, only after joining the company. That is why SM is known as the vocal powerhouse of the industry because they put a huge emphasis on showcasing outstanding vocal talent. And EXO is a perfect example of that. 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. The aesthetic of the "Tempo" MV is centered around the color red because the setting is supposed to be depicting the members under the Red Forces' control. Without going into too much detail -- there is so much going on in EXO's "Tempo" MV that it's hard to grasp it all -- what fan theories think is happening in "Tempo" is it is showing the members of EXO all trapped in separate dimensions. Each of those rooms, could possibly be a different dimension and that is why you see the glitches and why you hear Xiumin and Baekhyun with that computerized voice, because they aren't all in the same place at the same time so their voices are being distorted as they try to connect between dimensions, etc. They could also still be trapped in different rooms within the maze, like what we saw them in in "Overdose." For several of EXO's MVs we believe they are still trapped within the maze and they are continuously trying to find their way out. The maze seems to affect their connection to their powers and it clouds their minds and dulls their senses, so not only are they fighting the Red Force and X-EXO, but they are also struggling to break free from the fog the Red Force has them in. That's why you see some of the members just lazily sitting around and kind of blankly staring off into space at times. Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in the MV and he is the one standing above everything looking down, so this is one example of where we think that maybe he is the only one who has avoided the Red Force's control and he is observing everything that is going on from the outside. You see Chanyeol being interrogated by Chen with the inkblot test and that is thought to be the members trying to figure out who are the real EXO members and who are the evil X-EXO members created by the Red Force -- or who are the real members and who are the clones. At this point everyone is suspicious of each other and no one can be trusted. As you may have noticed, halfway through the MV Chanyeol's eyes and hair change color, so some think that this is either showing two different versions of Chanyeol who appear in two different time periods or dimensions, or one is Chanyeol the EXO member and one is Chanyeol the X-EXO clone. In the very last scene, that is Baekhyun with that cube. I am not sure what that means, but I am sure it's foreshadowing something to come in the future with EXO's storyline. You also see EXO's Chinese member Lay in this MV, but you won't see or hear him sing or dance in this MV because you watched the Korean version and at this time the Chinese government only gave him permission to appear in the Korean version of "Tempo", but he wasn't allowed to participate in the song. If you want to hear Lay sing you will have to watch the Mandarin version of the "Tempo" MV. Lay has a few lines in the Mandarin version, but he was not allowed to work with the other members, so all his parts were recorded separately and they had to be inserted into the song and MV. He had to get special permission even to take part in this comeback, and this is the closest we have gotten to seeing him back with the group since all these political issues between Korea and China started almost 5 years ago now. And so far, this is the one and only time you will see him in an EXO MV and song since 2016. However, the tension between Korea and China has started to let up and the Chinese government, has recently rescinded their ban on Korea and China working together, so we have the potential to see Lay come back to do a project with EXO in the future. It's kind of mind blowing the amount of planning and manipulation SM Entertainment has been doing over the years to connect all the dots and to continue the story. It gets even crazier when you realize how even the most minute of details were crafted to be a hidden message or detail within that storyline. Nothing in this MV is random or done just because, even the smallest of detail has been planned out to either connect to something to do with EXO's storyline from past MVs or it will become a key part to help explain something in one of their future MVs. Here is a list of the members and what their powers are to help you pinpoint the powers being used in their MVs and live performances. 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.

Thank you guys 💚 They know as a vocal kings.. and kings of R&B please react to: The Univers .. what is love .. kokopop .. monster.. love shot .. call me baby.. Mama .
In the Obsession video, the war is basically between themselves EXO and X-EXO The song’s meaning is about fighting your inner demons etc but the video has to do with their concept
You really seemed to enjoy the snippets you heard from KoKoBop, Call Me Baby, and Love Shot you saw on the Big Kpop video you did before. I would recommend any of those. Also, more bright, upbeat videos and songs are Power (ok, well, it's sort of upbeat...though they are still shooting at robots and stuff). Monster is dark as well, but a BOP. Love Me Right is a great song, though the video is all over the place! For ballads, they have Universe (my favorite MV of theirs), Sing For You, For Life, and Miracles in December. If you want to get the know the group and the members, I would recommend the group guide and the individual member guides from Cesar Oh's channel. EXO really shines on their B-side tracks, and their live performances. They are criminally talented!!
EXO the Kings of Kpop! All their songs, MVs, dances, clothing, and stages including their solo MVs, are all connected in the big story line called EXO theory. Please check that out.
Fun fact: Tempo was inspired by Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody which explains the various segments in the song. It definitely highlighted their vocal ability, if not sealed the title Vocal kings of Kpop (3rd gen). It isn't EXO if there is NO HARMONY. Everyone can harmonize really well, even the rappers. Hope you can check out their earlier songs too like EXO-K What is Love and Growl. Good reaction. Hoping to see you react more to EXO.
I get what you mean by EXO remind you of MHA but tbh I that idea has never gone through my head at all 😂 Also, I'm pretty sure EXO's concept was planed way before 2012 (EXO's debut year) and their super power are mostly elemental with no limit or downside, in fact their concept is alien (not even human 😂), while MHA came out in 2014 with academy as base and every quirk have a clear downside/limit. Anything that I thought was close to MHA would be Marvel stuff and Sky High. Other than that, great reaction (SUBSCRIBED!) although I was a little :( when you pause at Chen's high note 11:32
EXO are R&B/Soul in Kpop group for me. The music production is pure quality, 90's era. They are vocal kings that deliver, high notes/falsettos/riffs/runs. Many black producers from the west and European producers have a hand in EXO's sound, Kpop. Enjoy your EXO journey. React to EXO - Call Me Baby (Produced by Teddy Riley)
I really love their reaction to EXO, their facial expressions are so sincere! 😔❤️ EXO is considered one of the best Kpop vocal groups, they can harmonize and make high notes without problem. They are also known for being one of the few groups that can keep their voices in perfect shape even while dancing, in addition to recording some of their songs in one take in the studio, and for spanning various musical genres. I highly recommend watching EXO live performances, especially the ones in Tokyo, because they are legendary performances. Please react to: -KAI FILM. -EXO El dorado - Tokyo dome. -EXO Gravity live Tokyo. -EXO Remix Wolf Tokyo dome. -EXO Drop that, EXORDIUM. Thanks 😭❤️
Exciting to see your reactions to other songs and live stages of them they called kpop Vocal kings i suggest love shot +monster +koko pop next And also their live are stage amazing iam sure you will love it Check ⬇️ diamond +coming over +run this +drop that +power live
Thanks for reaction ❤️ Exo bright songs would be kokobop, power and and love me right you should check them out yet Exo has a diverse discography so there is gonna be something for everyone and not everything is gonna be your style cause they experiment a lot but one thing for me with exo is that the songs definitely grow on you after a few listens Every kpop grp is different exo is a more mature grp in terms of sound leaning more towards r&b you should definitely check out their bsides sweet lies live in Japan that song is heaven for r&b lovers
And also they have many amazing mindblowing special individual stages Chanyeol - WIND OF CHANGE, hands Suho - been through Baekhyun- PSYCHO, ringa ringa Sehun - On me, A go Kai - spoiler, confession,beautiful goodby Xiumin- Beyond Chen - lights out Kyungsoo - for life Lay - LIT 🧘♀️
Just so you know... EXO’s videos continue the Red Force storyline, but the songs are often about something totally different. Tempo is about getting to know a person, relax and let things progress naturally. Obsession is about facing your inner demons, and not letting those voices get the best of you. (I’m sure the EXO-Ls will correct me!) Hopefully the storyline thing won’t scare you off lol. Love Shot, Call Me Baby, Love Me Right are other MVs not really in the storyline. I look forward to watching you discover more about our favorite vocal kings and more!
Here my recommendation for EXO, I think you gonna like it: EXO - LOTTO EXO - LOVE SHOT EXO - MONSTER EXO - CALL ME BABY EXO - KOKOBOP EXO - THE EVE (this song only have dance practice)
Exo have storyline in their mvs and their concept is unique if you want to understand you should watch their first mv (mama). Lee soo man got the idea of creating of exo and their story since 1976 befor even exo appears so they are not inspired by anime or anything else ^^ exo was the first group that has a unique concept and storyline in their mv and now kpop groups can do it too exo's mvs all are connected to each other ^^
I will be reacting to more exo sometime next week💕
Yay ^^ I’m curious if you will already choose your first bias in Exo by then ^^
I recommend that you react to Monster and Lotto, they came out in the same year (2016), or Call me Baby and Love me right that came out in 2015, to go according to the dates: D
Monster is 🔥 🔥
don't know if anyone has suggested it but SWEET LIES is a song by EXO you will not regret hearing.
Yeaaayyy more EXO please
EXO is the group with the most legendary concept in Kpop and EXO is the first group to have a concept in Kpop. EXO’s concept is they are Aliens from an EXO planet, their planet got destroyed and they came to earth, they all have powers (like wind, light, water, ice, fire, unicorn) and EXO’s anemy Red Force wants to steal it. They live in parallel universes but get together during ab eclipse. Their MVs are interconnected. Their latest music video in Obsession they have been cloned by the Red Force and the real EXO is fighting against their own clowns X-EXO. Their all the MVs, concert VCRs and album teasers are connected and are telling a part of the story. When they were still attending the awards shows the VCRs before their performances were a part of that too
Oh WOW ! I knew there was something to it. Thank you SO MUCH for that info ! *You rock* 💕
@@Jovacane you’re welcome💜
EXO are the first to create a fictional storyline. Kpop groups have been doing concepts since the very beginning, starting with Seo Taiji and Boys. It's a defining aspect of the entire genre. Storylines are just a type of concept. But they were definitely the first to create a storyline concept.
Lay's power is not unicorn, it's healing. The unicorn is just his power's symbol.
EXO is a group known for the excellence of their live vocals and EXO's nickname in the industry is "Vocal Kings". Please react to EXO Best Live Vocals 2020

Plus Groove and The Eve Dance practice
Long story short, Exo are aliens from Exoplanet, they are fighting against the Red Force who are trying to steal their powers. Each member of Exo has a special power and in Obsession MV specifically they are fighting against evil clones of themsleves made by the Red Force.
They've had this concept since their debut song, MAMA (which means "your highness" or "your majesty" in Korean). not all of their MVs are directly related to their storyline but MVs like Obsession, Kokobop, Lucky One, MAMA, and Power are more prominent MVs in the storyline. If you ever want tot know more I suggest checking out a Concept Guide for Exo
Thank you for that additional info !
Wtf! 😹😹😹
Yes and What is love. Even on their concerts, you can see their 'superpowers' And also their VCRs. That's what I've learned from watching Cesar Oh's Concept Guide. Even their solo albums are somehow being connected

*TEMPO*
I can’t believe
I’ve been waiting for this feeling
I want to be the only one hearing her, my melody
All day, go on and on and oh
So she won’t leave, I want her by my side
Uh don’t mess up my tempo
Listen, this will be enough
I said don’t mess up my tempo
This beat will steal her heart
To the rhythm 1 2 3
Don’t mess up my tempo
Can’t stop this attraction
You’re so charming, you’re lovely
There’s nothing separating us
Heart beat becoming unstable
Just close your eyes trust me
Get ready ahead of time to go out
Are you ready?
I’m gonna rule the city today and bring the sparks
You’re already out, why are you so shy, ma boo?
Don’t stutter, you don’t have to feel awkward
Don’t bring anything, just hold my hand my lady
Every road we walk on is a red carpet and a runway
The way you walk is so unique
Match the speed now, tempo
Baby girl
Your morning call makes me flutter
I’m missing you even though I see you every day
From now with me let’s get down
Everything is perfect, I like it

Can’t stop this attraction
(Don’t mess up my tempo)
Look around lovely
There’s nothing separating us
It’s fixed on you, this heart beat
Do as you want, teach me
This is my area don’t test me
Send me a message if you don’t wanna be by yourself
Now you got me flexin’, look around
The Great Gatsby in that crew that’s watching you
I’m doing alright baby girl you don’t know
Get rid of that question mark above your head
I don’t use the word L.I.E
You’re already naturally following my tempo
Baby girl
Leaning on my shoulder
Your scent is inside my heart
Striking like a wave
I want to be forever like this
So don’t mess up my tempo baby
Don’t slow it up for me
Don’t mess up my tempo
Don’t mess up my tempo
Don’t mess up my tempo
Don’t mess up my (Now hold on)
Don’t mess up my tempo

Look into my eyes and tell me
So that I’m the only one that can hear it
Say that you love only me
Say that I’m the only one
So that you won’t falter anymore
So that no one can take you away
So that no one will be able to touch you
I will protect you from beside you
Dum dum dum dum

(Perfect 1 2 3 yeah)
Don’t mess up my tempo
Can’t stop this attraction
*OBSESSION*
Please stop it now
As the night makes me blind
You snuck in again
You lick around my ears while I’m asleep, stare,
Then you scratch and laugh
Your voice whispers endlessly
Oh you’re the bad dream kill
You keep possessing and calling me
To come to where you are, yes to come to you
You say you know me? (I don’t think so)
Who are you to snuggle in (I don’t think so)
You cover my eyes (I don’t think so)
You cover up the truths (I don’t think so)
Let go of the empty dreams (I don’t think so)
Don’t make me spit out the poison (I don’t think so)
You’ll never have me again (I don’t think so)
Shut up and go away
Thousand nights, I repeated so many times
A vicious cycle of nightmares I’ll end it now
The turned-off exit light
Get away from me now
Yeah hoo
I’m sick of it
Ha! It’s enough
All the gibberish on my ear Imma let it blow
My five senses are focused on it, on edge
You come in and stir it up recklessly
When I fall asleep with one eye open
You permeate without a sound, the phantom
I’m so sick and tired of it
When the light turns on, I hope you’re gone
You say it’s for me? (I don’t think so)
Who are you to snuggle in (I don’t think so)
Permeating deeply (I don’t think so)
I’m confused (I don’t think so)
Take whatever (I don’t think so)
Don’t even be seen (I don’t think so)
You’ll never have me again (I don’t think so)
Stop your obsession
Thousand nights, I repeated so many times
A vicious cycle of nightmares I’ll end it now
The turned-off exit light
Get away from me now
Blacken my heart,
Creepin’ dark night,
Stainin’ my soul
When I open my eyes like yet I’m still asleep,
The sudden goosebumps and its clear traces,
And the names on the ground that are owned by no one
Call out, dance tonight
Say it what you like
The times we were
Happy together, I know
I have to end them now
Forget everything yeah
You say you know me? (I don’t think so)
Who are you to snuggle in (I don’t think so)
You cover my eyes (I don’t think so)
You cover up the truths (I don’t think so)
Let go of the empty dreams (I don’t think so)
Don’t make me spit out the poison (I don’t think so)
You’ll never have me again (I don’t think so)
Shut up and go away
Thousand nights, I repeated so many times
A vicious cycle of nightmares I’ll end it now
The turned-off exit light
Get away from me now
One night what I saw in the darkness
Was the strange shadow that chased me after
The turned-on exit light
It’s me looking at myself in the mirror
Yeah
Get away from me
Disappear
Uh yeah
Get away from me
It's okay. Totally understand you because the MV itself is a lot to take in. You can check the lyric video separately instead so you can focus on one thing at a time. :) I,for one, listen to the melody first. If I like it, then I'll check the lyrics after. But do whatever is comfortable to you.
You should react to baekhyun - Bambi :)

EXO vocal king with harmony kpop legend ...all of them can sing even rappers More exo reactions pls ..
In Obsession video they were actually fighting themselves ,their evil side X-Exo thats what the song and the video talks about
Actually Exo has a concept that they are from another planet, Exo planet, a planet out of our solar system ( EXO means outer) and each member has its own superpower,they are chased by the Red force(+ more details) all their Mvs are connected and have to do with this concept but its too complicated
In this MV in the end shows that their planet cought fire , which means that their evil side won
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 and Suho 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.
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.
Everything EXO is involved in, and I literally mean almost everything, is connected in some way to their concept and storyline. EXO's MVs are kind of like a movie -- it's a movie that has been going on for the past 9 years -- since predebut -- and it has no sign of coming to an end any time soon. The one thing you have to keep in mind with all of EXO's MVs, and I really mean all of them -- including their sub-sub-unit MVs and a majority of the member's solo MVs. And because Baekhyun and Kai are involved, even SuperM's storyline -- is that they are all connected and they all tell a little more of EXO's story and why they are on Earth, 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. So to really understand EXO, if you haven't already, you need to start from the very beginning and watch both of their "Mama" MVs. 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.
Exo, as in exoskeleton, means "outer," so as a member of EXO they are outside the ordinary.The group's concept comes from the real term exoplanet, which is a term that is used for a planet that is outside our solar system, so their name was chosen to represent the fact that they are stars that are "out of this world" when it comes to their talents. EXO's concept is also connected to real life planetary and solar events, so several of EXO's comebacks and new song releases for the main group of EXO are timed to when eclipses and other planetary phenomenons take place. For example, their comeback for their War album and Power repackaged album coincided with when we had a solar eclipse, etc. SM Entertainment, and its founder, Lee SooMan, has all of EXO's release dates and concepts planned out for years in advance, and it often has something to do with real celestial events that are predicted to take place.
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 of the members. Kris and Luhan left in 2014 and Tao left in 2015.) 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. 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 it hasn't necessarily been 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 "Jopping" storyline. If you pay attention to what Baekhyun and Kai were wearing in that MV, those outfits are very similar to the black outfits that Baekhyun and Kai are wearing in "Obsession." 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 because the members in black are supposed to be the EXO members who are the good guys, it seems to also indicate that the members who are in SuperM are the EXO members and not their X-EXO clones. 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.
To help you pinpoint the powers being used in their 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 symbolizes his role within EXO's storyline.)
🌪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 unit)
The Chinese members who have now left the group:
🐉 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
💭 Luhan was a main vocalist and his power was telekinesis (The ability to control things with his mind)
⏰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
Bonus round is (Big Hit) Dae-Bak bonus! Lol... EXO Acoustic Medley Live is A MUST...
So happy to see reactions on EXO's songs. More pleaaaase!🧡
omg yaasss thank you for reacting to EXO waiting until next time .....btw love your outro!!!
Exo is leaned more towards the R&B sound of kpop and their music quality is seen as pretty much the best in kpop. yall should definitely check out their other stuff such as "Monster" or "Love Shot".
"Call Me Baby" is also very much a classic
Welcome to the EXO-planet! "Call Me Baby", "Love Shot", "Ko Ko Bob", "Overdose", "Growl", "Wolf" and finally "Mama", the most iconic debut song in the whole Kpop industry.
Call me baby is a must😄and also Ya ya ya where exo sampled some swv
EXO, the vocal kings with one of the best vocalists , dancers and visuals of the K-pop Industry.
EXO is a Vocal and Visual group...also one of the most experimental group of the group, they never stay at a single genre..!!!
Also all the members are multi-talented...
The song is called "Tempo" and the album is named Don't Mess Up My Tempo, so the song is constantly changing tempos. I think the change in tempo is also supposed to mirror the uncertainty and unsteadiness that EXO are feeling within the storyline in the MV. However, if you read the lyrics, you see that the song is talking to a girl and they are telling her, "Don't mess up my tempo." And yes, part of the tempo in the song is created by the squeak of what is thought to be bed springs. However, as with everything EXO does, there are duel meanings depending on how deeply you want to interpret the song and MV. On the surface the song and MV is meant to be enjoyed by the casual watcher and listener like you would any song on the radio, but if you want to delve in deeper and explore EXO's storyline, then there is so much more going on.
As an SM group, it shouldn't be a surprise that EXO are amazing vocalists. That is just what SM is known for. You can't be an SM artist without having amazing vocals and dance skills. That's just a fact about the type of people SM selects to become part of its company. All of SM's artists were first chosen for their vocal and/or dance skills, and even the rappers get intense training as vocalists. None of SM's rappers became a trainee because of their rap skills, all of the company's rappers learned to rap, or really became good at it, only after joining the company. That is why SM is known as the vocal powerhouse of the industry because they put a huge emphasis on showcasing outstanding vocal talent. And EXO is a perfect example of that.
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.
The aesthetic of the "Tempo" MV is centered around the color red because the setting is supposed to be depicting the members under the Red Forces' control. Without going into too much detail -- there is so much going on in EXO's "Tempo" MV that it's hard to grasp it all -- what fan theories think is happening in "Tempo" is it is showing the members of EXO all trapped in separate dimensions. Each of those rooms, could possibly be a different dimension and that is why you see the glitches and why you hear Xiumin and Baekhyun with that computerized voice, because they aren't all in the same place at the same time so their voices are being distorted as they try to connect between dimensions, etc.
They could also still be trapped in different rooms within the maze, like what we saw them in in "Overdose." For several of EXO's MVs we believe they are still trapped within the maze and they are continuously trying to find their way out. The maze seems to affect their connection to their powers and it clouds their minds and dulls their senses, so not only are they fighting the Red Force and X-EXO, but they are also struggling to break free from the fog the Red Force has them in. That's why you see some of the members just lazily sitting around and kind of blankly staring off into space at times.
Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in the MV and he is the one standing above everything looking down, so this is one example of where we think that maybe he is the only one who has avoided the Red Force's control and he is observing everything that is going on from the outside.
You see Chanyeol being interrogated by Chen with the inkblot test and that is thought to be the members trying to figure out who are the real EXO members and who are the evil X-EXO members created by the Red Force -- or who are the real members and who are the clones. At this point everyone is suspicious of each other and no one can be trusted. As you may have noticed, halfway through the MV Chanyeol's eyes and hair change color, so some think that this is either showing two different versions of Chanyeol who appear in two different time periods or dimensions, or one is Chanyeol the EXO member and one is Chanyeol the X-EXO clone.
In the very last scene, that is Baekhyun with that cube. I am not sure what that means, but I am sure it's foreshadowing something to come in the future with EXO's storyline.
You also see EXO's Chinese member Lay in this MV, but you won't see or hear him sing or dance in this MV because you watched the Korean version and at this time the Chinese government only gave him permission to appear in the Korean version of "Tempo", but he wasn't allowed to participate in the song. If you want to hear Lay sing you will have to watch the Mandarin version of the "Tempo" MV. Lay has a few lines in the Mandarin version, but he was not allowed to work with the other members, so all his parts were recorded separately and they had to be inserted into the song and MV. He had to get special permission even to take part in this comeback, and this is the closest we have gotten to seeing him back with the group since all these political issues between Korea and China started almost 5 years ago now. And so far, this is the one and only time you will see him in an EXO MV and song since 2016. However, the tension between Korea and China has started to let up and the Chinese government, has recently rescinded their ban on Korea and China working together, so we have the potential to see Lay come back to do a project with EXO in the future.
It's kind of mind blowing the amount of planning and manipulation SM Entertainment has been doing over the years to connect all the dots and to continue the story. It gets even crazier when you realize how even the most minute of details were crafted to be a hidden message or detail within that storyline.
Nothing in this MV is random or done just because, even the smallest of detail has been planned out to either connect to something to do with EXO's storyline from past MVs or it will become a key part to help explain something in one of their future MVs.
Here is a list of the members and what their powers are to help you pinpoint the powers being used in their MVs and live performances.
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)

🌏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 symbolizes his role within EXO's storyline.)
🌪Sehun is the youngest member of the group and he is a main rapper, main 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 left the group:
🐉 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
💭 Luhan was a main vocalist and his power was telekinesis (The ability to control things with his mind)
⏰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.
EXO is just so amazingly magical.

They know as a vocal kings.. and kings of R&B

In the Obsession video, the war is basically between themselves EXO and X-EXO
The song’s meaning is about fighting your inner demons etc but the video has to do with their concept
They are 9 members and they debuted in 2012 ( in this video were 6 of them bc some members were at the military)
EXO - 'Call me baby' is a must. I think you would enjoy it alot
Love shot , monster , kokobop , lotto , miracles of December
They are insane live
They are such a great group 😍
Subscribed.. please more EXO reaction please.. especially LIVE
ALLL I GOT TO SAY IS EXO= TALENT.
yes!
btw, your name is funny and true
More exo please... Love shoot, lotto, love me right, growl...
You really seemed to enjoy the snippets you heard from KoKoBop, Call Me Baby, and Love Shot you saw on the Big Kpop video you did before. I would recommend any of those. Also, more bright, upbeat videos and songs are Power (ok, well, it's sort of upbeat...though they are still shooting at robots and stuff). Monster is dark as well, but a BOP. Love Me Right is a great song, though the video is all over the place! For ballads, they have Universe (my favorite MV of theirs), Sing For You, For Life, and Miracles in December. If you want to get the know the group and the members, I would recommend the group guide and the individual member guides from Cesar Oh's channel. EXO really shines on their B-side tracks, and their live performances. They are criminally talented!!
EXO the Kings of Kpop! All their songs, MVs, dances, clothing, and stages including their solo MVs, are all connected in the big story line called EXO theory. Please check that out.
4:47 i saw u smile when u look at xiumjn😼 my bias is xiumin too😍
For different concept i suggest u Love Shot , Kokobop , For life , Lotto , Monster , Miracle of December , What is love , Mama , Wolf , Growl ,
Fun fact: Tempo was inspired by Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody which explains the various segments in the song. It definitely highlighted their vocal ability, if not sealed the title Vocal kings of Kpop (3rd gen). It isn't EXO if there is NO HARMONY. Everyone can harmonize really well, even the rappers. Hope you can check out their earlier songs too like EXO-K What is Love and Growl.
Good reaction. Hoping to see you react more to EXO.
Obsession, Monster, Love Shot
I get what you mean by EXO remind you of MHA but tbh I that idea has never gone through my head at all 😂
Also, I'm pretty sure EXO's concept was planed way before 2012 (EXO's debut year) and their super power are mostly elemental with no limit or downside, in fact their concept is alien (not even human 😂), while MHA came out in 2014 with academy as base and every quirk have a clear downside/limit.
Anything that I thought was close to MHA would be Marvel stuff and Sky High.
Other than that, great reaction (SUBSCRIBED!) although I was a little :( when you pause at Chen's high note 11:32
EXO Vocal Kings! For lighter concepts, you should definitely react to Loveshot and Call me baby.
EXO are R&B/Soul in Kpop group for me. The music production is pure quality, 90's era. They are vocal kings that deliver, high notes/falsettos/riffs/runs. Many black producers from the west and European producers have a hand in EXO's sound, Kpop. Enjoy your EXO journey. React to EXO - Call Me Baby (Produced by Teddy Riley)
Thank you so much. I love kai💛🐻💛
YESSSS MY BOYS ARE FINALLY HERE!!❤️
Happy Birthday Baekhyun(6:12)!! We will miss you(he’s going to the military today)😢
I really love their reaction to EXO, their facial expressions are so sincere! 😔❤️
EXO is considered one of the best Kpop vocal groups, they can harmonize and make high notes without problem. They are also known for being one of the few groups that can keep their voices in perfect shape even while dancing, in addition to recording some of their songs in one take in the studio, and for spanning various musical genres.
I highly recommend watching EXO live performances, especially the ones in Tokyo, because they are legendary performances.
Please react to:
-KAI FILM.
-EXO El dorado - Tokyo dome.
-EXO Gravity live Tokyo.
-EXO Remix Wolf Tokyo dome.
-EXO Drop that, EXORDIUM.
Thanks 😭❤️

Exo has a diverse discography so there is gonna be something for everyone and not everything is gonna be your style cause they experiment a lot but one thing for me with exo is that the songs definitely grow on you after a few listens
Every kpop grp is different exo is a more mature grp in terms of sound leaning more towards r&b you should definitely check out their bsides sweet lies live in Japan that song is heaven for r&b lovers

Thank you for reaction ❤️ react Growl and Love Shot
Please react to their live performance
Listen to, call me baby, kokobop ang love me right. Also their sidetracks are fire
Just so you know... EXO’s videos continue the Red Force storyline, but the songs are often about something totally different. Tempo is about getting to know a person, relax and let things progress naturally. Obsession is about facing your inner demons, and not letting those voices get the best of you. (I’m sure the EXO-Ls will correct me!) Hopefully the storyline thing won’t scare you off lol. Love Shot, Call Me Baby, Love Me Right are other MVs not really in the storyline. I look forward to watching you discover more about our favorite vocal kings and more!
Thank you for the wonderful reaction. ..please check exo other mv monster lotto call me baby kokobop love me right electric kiss overdose...
EXO is the golden boy group RnB kings

Growl and Power ... check out the dance practice vids... oh and The Eve
Exo have storyline in their mvs and their concept is unique if you want to understand you should watch their first mv (mama). Lee soo man got the idea of creating of exo and their story since 1976 befor even exo appears so they are not inspired by anime or anything else ^^ exo was the first group that has a unique concept and storyline in their mv and now kpop groups can do it too exo's mvs all are connected to each other ^^
Except from their music(which is really good if u react more) , once u will learn about their personalities u will love them
