Don't fight the feeling is a special album for fans. Currently EXO is in the middle of their mandatory military enlistment. The album is dedicated to fans to give strength who are still waiting patiently for them. 2 members are already done with their military service, 3 will be out this year, 1 next year and 2 youngest still need to serve😥, 1 don't need to go because he's chinese. For now EXO is focusing on solo careers and fewer member release whenever they can.
EXO is one of the most successful kpop groups ever They are 9 members and debuted in 2012 They considered Vocal and RnB kings of kpop bc they have some of the best vocalists and dancers in the industry Their music is mostly RnB influenced but they do other genres too,they very experimenting
EXO are very big and successful it’s just that they don’t promote in West that’s why they are less known there,but they still have managed to have a lot of West fans (like myself) They even got called to perform at Coachella but their company didn’t let them for whatever reason They have many records and they even performed in 2018 Olympics as representatives of Kpop, they are named Nation’s pick by the Korean government
EXO are on military hiatus rn(Every Korean has to go to military until 30) so most of the members are in military rn But they still do comebacks just not that often and they concentrated more on Solos(they have some of the most successful soloists in kpop as well) until they all finish their service Don’t fight the feeling wasn’t a proper comeback it was just a special gift for the fans that are waiting for them,that’s why it has more of a cute/happy vibe compared to most EXO songs which have more of a dark aesthetic ,it had no promotion at all(no live stage etc) but they still sold millions
Inarguably, THE BEST DISCOGRAPHY IN KPOP. If you are amazed by the MVs, you'll be blown away by the live stages. EXO doesn't hold the ' THE WORLD's FASTEST SELLING CONCERT IN HISTORY' for nothing. OBSESSION next please.
Actually EXO have a concept that they are from EXO planet(EXO means outer) a planet out of our solar system(first group to have a storyline ever) Each member has his own superpower and they are chased by the Red Force (brief explanation) EVEYTHING EXO do is related to their concept(not only MVs which ofc are connected) ,there are many theory videos on yt about it,it’s very interesting and super detailed
well, as several comments here have already mentioned, Don't Fight The Feeling is a special song that was released in 2021 in the middle of the group's military hiatus, I love DFTF and it's always on my upbeat playlists. To be honest EXO is well known for making multiple genres of music, I will divide some songs into two categories to facilitate your reactions. Bright upbeat songs: Love Me Right Call Me Baby Ko Ko Bop Lucky One Power Growl History Coming Over (no full MV on UA-cam just short ver.)* also kinda dark Darker concept: Obsession (I really hope you react to Obsession in the next one, you liked Monster a lot, I'm sure this one will be your favorite too) MAMA Overdose (this one is kinda dark concept with an amazing beat) Electric Kiss (one of my favorites, unfortunately there's no full MV on UA-cam because it's a Japanese comeback, so it would be nice to react to the short version and the dance practice that contains the full song)** Wolf Lotto What Is Love (this one is a slow jam ) If I put any song in the wrong category, please correct me. I also didn't add the ballads/winter songs ** link of Electric Kiss full MV on vimeo vimeo.com/277412915 * link of Coming Over full MV on dailymotion www.dailymotion.com/video/x5q3u0y
Welcome to EXOplanet :) EXO's discography is very diverse. The members are so talented and they're known as vocal kings as well. EXO's currently in their military hiatus and they'll be celebrating their 10th yr anniversary this year!!
Next you should definitely check out: Obsession, Call me baby and Growl. They're dope too. EXO sounds even better live, please consider to react to their live performance. Btw, thank you for this, I'm glad that you enjoyed.
“dont fight the feeling” is a GIFT for fans they released it only for their fans. its a fun and easy feel good song. They filmed the mv in a very short amount of time
Omg, exo is one of the kpop legends, from 3rd gen of kpop. 10 years in the industry, so many achievements the have, even their individual achievements, they are multi talented, vocal king, great discography.
Don’t fight the feeling wasn’t a proper comacn it was a special one for the fans (bc most members are in military) that’s why it’s more cute/happy ,usually EXO songs are more dark or mysterious and the lyrics usually are sad even if the song might sound happy
One of the most amazing groups that exists. I have been part of the fandom for like 9 years and I have never hate one of their songs, all the members (9) are really talented and wonderful artists.
I used to say Exo is the best vocal group in this industry, just because all of the 9 members has amazing vocal skills. And the vocal line (Baekhyun, Chen, D.O., Xiumin, Lay, Suho) could easily be compared to singers like Dimash...
I think you are a very naive if you think that i love exo but please dimash iz just another level, exo are a very talented vocal group for pop standards but dimash is every standard literraly from operatic to clasical from very low to the highest with superior teqnique he isnt comparable with any kpop group
@@francoisdaureville323 I don't think so... certainly did my research before posting the comment above. Lay and Suho have both been in opera musicals and I think Lay's voice Is on another level. Just because they're in a boy group, singing pop songs, doesn't mean they can't have opera-like skilled vocals. Thats the case for them, if you do your research you'll find out I'm not exaggerating, nor fangirling. But it's really risky to compare them to Dimash, truth is I was just trying to say they have opera singer vocals. Watch Really didn't I know Immortal Songs (Baekhyun + Chen) live, amazing live vocals by Exo and best live vocals by exo 2020 - these videos can show a bit of what I'm taking about.
@@elgatodelskz high notes dont equal vocal talent just 3 members of exo has actual vocal resonance D.O chen and baekhyun, and from them CHEN is the only member who have shown actual clásical ability in like how you said i really didnt know baekhyun is a pop singer a very talented and powerful pop singer like Bruno mars or Ariana grande or something like that, chen can train more his ability but he isnt in dimash level of vocal teqnique and ability and D.O is more of a RnB singer he isnt as powerful as baekhyun or chen but he has a very ágile Voice and runs, so yes you are getting your fangirl take over you, something i give to exo is their Amazing vibrato most kpop Groups singers main vocalist cant even do that in exo even xiumin and suho sometimes even chanyeol a rapper can and thats sad for kpop.
@@elgatodelskz And lay isnt that good of a singer he strains a lot more than any singer in exo he force his high notes and that can be noticed, thsts why some people even put chanyeol a little higher than lay sometimes in vocal ability
@@francoisdaureville323 mm...ok. keep your opinion with you, I'll keep mine. But am I supposed to be offended because you said I'm letting my fangirl takes over me? Maybe you are offended because you think Dimash is so high, he can't be compared to anyone in this pop industry. But I don't consider myself part of any fandom though. I just like music. Period.
I discovered Kpop when I was sick with flu, with pretty decent fever and taking codeine cough syrup. I first discovered Boombaya by Blackpink, and then Monster by EXO. I think I listened to Monster about 100 times that weekend. I was probably hallucinating a little bit, but it was epic.
Trust me your not the only one who went through a mental breakdown discovering EXO, we all been there and still going through it every single EXO comeback😍🤧💯💖
OMG!!! I’m so happy your reaction to EXO 😍 The king of kpop ☺️✨ They have 9 members, and they all can sing very well 😍 they LIVE VOCALS IS ANOTHER LEVEL Exo is Amaziingg, they all have pure talent ✨ And fun fact : they are all is Comedian 😭😂 They are all sooo funny especially baekhyun😆 i’m so exaited for more and more exo reaction ☺️😍✨
Can we guys Appreciate how he "Liked" the Mv after watching?🥰 cause not all people do that Tbh so THANKYOU! YOU'RE HANDSOME THO LOVE YOUR REACTION! HOPE YOU REACT MORE TO EXO MV'S LIKE (WOLF,GROWL,CALL ME BABY, OVERDOSED) GODBLESS U HANDSOME!🤍
OMG i also love exo-monster and their sing for you, miracles in december, lotto, for life and xoxo album. I've been a fan of them since mama era but i decided to leave the fandom when lay is always in china promoting his album and making name in his own country but i always listen to their comeback or their sub unit like CBX... my bias is suho since their debut and till now. I really miss exo and i'm thankful to you lucas because you reacted to their song i hope you will also react to their other songs because you won't regret it because all of their songs and albums are bop and all of the members are talented. I think i will comeback to the fandom when all of the member finished their military service hopefully they will renew their contract (because i think their contract will expired this 2022? i'm not sure) but even tho they will not renew i think i will still support them individually
MY ULTS 🙏 god I love these men so much. exo have literally never made a bad song in their lives. Just some general info- exo’s age range is ‘90-‘94 the members eldest to youngest are: Xiumin, Suho(leader), Lay, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, D.O, Kai and Sehun. Exo debuted in 2012 with their title track ‘MAMA’ and were split into two separate groups, EXO-M and EXO-K. Exo-K consisted of members- Suho(leader), Baekhyun, Chanyeol, D.O, Kai and Sehun. They produced music in korean. (hence exo-K) EXO-M consisted of Xiumin, Lay, Chen, and former members- Kris(leader), Luhan and Tao. They produced music in Mandarin(hence exo-M) Lay, Kris, Luhan and Tao were all chinese members, and the latter three left over a period of a few years due mainly to unfair treatment (unfortunately SM Ent. does not have a good track record for treating their foreign members well...) Lay is now the only Chinese member left it EXO. Before ‘Don’t Fight the Feeling’ the last exo MV that Lay was in was ‘Tempo’(2018) and he only had a cameo shot... this is due to Lays status in China(he is a youth ambassador) and the political conflict between China and South Korea. Many EXO-L’s were super worried that Lay would not be coming back for a long time so him being in ‘Don’t Fight the Feeling’ was huge for us as a fandom and such a happy moment. Lay also has made it clear multiple times that although he is not always able to promote with them, he is still, and always will be a member. Lay is also one of the top solo artists in China. At a point during the three members leaving, SM decided to combine EXO-K and EXO-M to form one group- EXO! The fandom name EXO-L was chosen because L is the letter in between K and M and it showed the uniting factor between the two groups. L also stands for love. You may also see EXO members and or EXO-L’s call them selves Eris, which is a shortened form of the Korean name for ‘EXO-L’ and EXO’s light stick is called an Eribong. Exo’s introduction slogan is ‘We are One’ referencing the combination of the two previous groups and EXO’s leader Suho uses this to introduce the group, as well as ‘Lets Love’ at the end of speeches and other. Anyways- as you could probably tell I could go on and on about this group but I hope this gave you some helpful information!
That "badass guy" from Monster MV, is one the EXO's main vocalists, Baekhyun. He is successful solo artist himself. He is million seller solo artist in 19 years. Check his albums City Lights, Delight and Bambi. All of them R&B based and he has Japanese album too
Thx for the reaction *EXO* are kings of vocals, RnB & harmonisation in Kpop, plllz react to some members solo work as *EXO's Baekhyun "Bambi"* mv *EXO's D.O "Si Fueras Mia"* no mv *EXO's Kai "Mmmh"* mv *EXO's Lay "Lit"* mv .......all the other members have their solo works i will request them later if you want to try to know them better , merciii 🤗
I enjoyed your reaction. 😁 Don't Fight The Feeling is one of their best albums (at least for me) This is a no skip album. I hope that you can do an album reaction. Please react to their live videos too. Their live vocals are insane!
EYOOO VOCAL KINGS IN THE BUILDING Y'ALL...KIIIIINGS THE LAST ONE (DFTF) WAS A GIFT FOR US EXO-LS (NAME OF OUR DEAR FANDOM) FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY..WELCOME DEAR
In EXO's "Don't Fight the Feeling" they used green screen during a lot of the MV because Lay -- EXO's Chinese member -- was unable to be in Korea to shoot the MV, so he shot all his parts separate in his studio in China and they inserted them into the MV. This MV was released in June 2021 -- during the pandemic -- and it was shot right before Baekhyun and Chanyeol enlisted in the military. This mini album was a special project they did for EXO-Ls because Xiumin and D.O. had just been discharged -- which is one reason why they have a prominent role in the MV -- and Chanyeol and Baekhyun were about to enlist. (Suho and Chen had already enlisted before this MV was planned, so they were the only members who did not participate.) So there were only 7 members in this MV. EXO won't be all back together for a comeback again until 2024-25. "Don't Fight the Feeling" is a milestone for fans because this is the first time we have seen Lay back together with EXO since 2016, because of all the political issues between Korea and China. As you see in the MV, EXO are literally from EXO Planet. As you are starting to discover, the group's whole concept since their debut in 2012 is that they are aliens who have come from Planet Exo on a mission to protect the Tree of LIfe from the Red Force and to stop the Red Force from inflicting their evil agenda on humanity. 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. SM Entertainment has all of EXO's release dates and concepts planned out for years in advance, and it is all designed to be another chapter in EXO's story. "Don't Fight the Feeling" is also connected to EXO's and SuperM's storyline and it's all part of SM's Universe. If you follow the storylines of all of SM's groups you will see connections can be made with "Don't Fight the Feeling" to EXO's story, as well as several of SM's other groups' MVs. For example, the flag you see in this MV should remind you of the flags you see as the logo during EXO's "Obsession" comeback, as well as the flags you will see if you watch EXO's live concert performance of their song "El Dorado", and the scene with Sehun on the motorcycle should remind you of the scenes with him on the motorcycle when you watch EXO's "Tempo" and "Lightsaber" MVs, etc. The meteors and the explosions, etc. are all part of SM's Universe storyline, as well. You see the planet burning at the end of EXO's "Obsession" MV and you will see everything on fire when you watch Lay's "Sheep" Alan Walker Relift version MV. And I think it's even connected to the meteor shower you see happening in WayV's "Moonwalk" MV, etc. And I think the blue drink we see Kai drinking has something to do with the blue drink we see EXO drinking in their "Ko Ko Bop" MV. This storyline has been going on for more than 9 years, so it's really complex and hard to follow unless you really dive in deep and pay attention to even the most minute of details in all of the MVs, teaser videos, concert performances, concert VCRs, members' solo content and sub-unit work, etc. from EXO, as well as a large majority of all of SM's other groups' content. Fun fact: If you notice, they use red, white and blue all over in this MV, which are South Korea's colors. Plus, red and blue are all part of EXO's storyline. As mentioned before, with everything EXO does, red represents the Red Force and blue is thought to represent EXO. So when you see the red light this is where the Red Force is thought to have control and when you see blue, this is thought to be where EXO has the upper hand. When you see purple -- red and blue mixed together make purple -- or both red and blue together in the same scene, this is often where the lines are blurred and the Red Force and EXO are fighting for control or battling each other for power. Therefore, because we see EXO in blue and black when they are part of the crew of the ship -- similar to the outfits we saw in "Obsession" -- this is most likely an indication that this is EXO. However, when we see them in the group "party scene" this could possibly be X-EXO. We see Lay in red and other members with red accents, so they might be under the Red Forces' control. If you watch the behind the scenes shooting video of "Don't Fight the Feeling," ua-cam.com/video/9jLMVuQKd0g/v-deo.html, as well as Lay's behind the scenes shooting video in China, ua-cam.com/video/Xq2WjjW7gZE/v-deo.html, you will see why things were done the way they were.
The song is called "Tempo" and the album is named Don't Mess Up My Tempo, so, the tempo keeps speeding up and slowing down. 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 Entertainment group, it shouldn't be a surprise that EXO are amazing vocalists -- hence the acapella part in the song. 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. That is why SM is known as the vocal powerhouse of the industry. And EXO is a perfect example of that. As you are starting to discover, 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. 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 also still could be trapped in different rooms within the maze, like what we saw them in their "Overdose" MV. 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. Often, when you use a character in one of SM's MVs with blue eyes or different eye colors this is usually means they are not who they appear to be. The "Chess game" is thought to be supernatural EXO chess, and I don't think it's a game they are playing, but I think maybe it's something they are using to try to decipher a clue or figure out a way out of wherever the Red Force has them trapped at the moment. It's unclear right now what that scene is really telling us, but I have a feeling things will become clearer in the future as more of EXO's storyline is unveiled in future MVs and as SM's SM Culture Universe storyline continues to evolve. You also see Sehun on the motorcycle in this MV, which I now think is connected to the scene where we see him driving a motorcycle in EXO's "Lightsaber" MV and sitting on the motorcycle in their new "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV. 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. EXO's Chinese member, Lay, is in this MV, but you won't see or hear him sing or dance 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. 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.
Facts EXO KINGS OF KPOP, they are incredible insane in everything you can't choose 💜 like group or soloists, like actors or singers, like rappers or dancers they're so outstanding, hanks for your reaction I really love it, you have a long trip whit EXO and you're going to falling in love 🥰
Everything SM Entertainment does is connected to EXO's storyline like one giant graphic novel or mystery movie series. Each new MV or project that is created is like the next chapter in SM's SM Culture Universe. And "Monster" is another piece of that story. "Monster" was released in 2016, so there are 9 members in this MV. As the English lines in "Monster" say ... They're "Creeping, Creeping Creeping .... Creeping in your heart babe" "You can call me Monster (because) I'm creeping in your heart babe." "She got me goin' crazy." The song's called "Monster," so the words are about acting like a monster: "Don't be afraid, love is the way ... I'm sorry, you make me sooo craaaazzzy, you know you dooooo." So the floating watch and the car that is on fire in reverse, etc., I think was -- on top of being a metaphor in the story -- also supposed to be the members using their superpowers. And the snake, like a monster, mirrors the beat of the song, which kind of slithers like a snake as a metaphor for the way the guy slithers in and out of the relationship stealing warmth and affection from the girl, but in the end, leaving her cold and alone like a cold-blooded snake, etc. The snake is also red, so it is thought to be linked to something involving the Red Force. However, the lyrics of the song have very little to do with the story in the MV. If you want to know what the song is about, you should look up an English translation of the lyrics. Because the lyrics tell a different story than the story in the MV. In the song the members are talking about a girl and they are telling the girl that "You can call me Monster" because I know I am bad for you and I will ruin you. I know that when we are over that I will have destroyed everything that is good about you, but I don't care because I want you so much that it doesn't matter to me. But the MV is about EXO's origin story and about the fact that they have come to Earth on a mission to stop the Red Force from corrupting humanity. Also, the majority of the choreography for "Monster" has to do with the members using their powers, so when/if you watch the dance practice and/or watch a live performance, if you know what you are looking for, you will see that each move is done for a very specific reason. The X they make to represent EXO is only the beginning of the story in their choreography. Every move of the choreography has been designed to be an extension of their story and it uses elements of their dance to represent several of the members using their powers. For example, D.O. has the power of super strength, so during his part in the song and choreography you will see that he waves his hands and the other members are pushed away from him or pulled toward him. When you see Suho in the middle of the group and they have a hold of his arms, he rotates his body around like swirling water because Suho has the power to control water. Xiumin has the power to control snow/ice/frost, so during one part of the choreography you will see that each of the members pause as if frozen as he moves in front of them. Sehun has the power to control wind, so during his parts, you will see the other members shuffle around him as if they are creating a windstorm. And the part where they are sitting on the ground is supposed to represent a sundial -- EXO gets their power from the eclipse and their powers are affected by planetary and solar phenomenon, so the sundial is meant to represent the passing of time and their connection to the sun. You should also make note that EXO's next MV for their song "Lotto" is a prequel to "Monster," so when you watch "Lotto," if you keep in mind what you saw happen in "Monster" is what is going to take place after or in conjunction with the events in "Lotto", the story might make more sense. How "Monster" and "Lotto" tie into EXOs larger storyline is a little open ended, but because "Lotto" is thought to be the prequel to "Monster," I think the story starts out in "Lotto" where the members have somehow infiltrated this big gambling ring and are undercover as they work to uncover a clue or something they need in order to accomplish their tasks here on Earth. I think the underground gambling establishment is run by a gang of bad guys who are probably members of the Red Force. "Lotto" is where we are introduced to a girl who is being held captive. And ultimately, I think what EXO are trying to do is rescue the girl from the Red Force, but they are trying to do it without blowing their cover or being found out. So, that's why you see in "Lotto," and continued in "Monster," the members are fighting against the police because the police have come in to take down the gambling ring and rescue the girl, which is also what EXO are trying to do. However, the members of EXO don't want to be discovered, so they play along as if they are part of the bad guys. EXO are supposed to be going about their tasks here on Earth incognito, and humanity is never supposed to find out that EXO are other-worldly beings, so they are trying to keep a low profile. As we see in the end of "Monster," Baekhyun disguises himself as one of the police and helps the other members escape from the back of the police van before they are taken to jail and/or captured by the Red Force, etc. You also see Lay, EXO's Chinese member, crouched in the middle of what looks like a pile of people -- I'm not sure whether these are the FBI agents, or if these are members of the Red Force -- and I think he is checking to make sure they are OK and possibly trying to use his power of healing to fix things and heal the injured. Because some theories believe that EXO are traveling between time periods and dimensions, I think in "Monster" they also might be showing how some of the members are arriving on scene at different moments in the timeline of events that are taking place in the MV -- the members don't necessarily arrive at the location together. For instance, you also see Kai standing on or near a giant pile of people as well, and he seems to be standing over them. Some have pointed to this as possibly showing evil X-EXO Kai -- Kai's alter ego clone that was created by the Red Forced and introduced in EXO's "Obsession" MV -- who has done something bad, but I think this may be showing good EXO Kai, who has just shown up at that moment, observing what has taken place. Because Kai has the power of teleportation he is the one that is in charge of bringing the members together and traveling between time and space, so I think he has shown up from a different time or place and is now trying to figure out what has happened, etc. In EXO's "Obsession" MV the members in the bright colored clothing with the crazy makeup and hair are supposed to be X-EXO and the ones in the black or dark colored clothing are supposed to be EXO. So, in the parts where they are dressed in all black in "Monster" I think this is showing EXO, and where you see them in the clothing with red accents, this might by showing X-EXO. At the time when "Monster" was first released, we had no idea about X-EXO's existence, but since "Obsession", we have started to go back and reanalyze some of their older MVs, and it appears that what we thought was always EXO, may have been in fact X-EXO some of the time. As you can see, EXO's story is always evolving and changing, and just when you think you have one part understood, SM introduces a new piece of the story and changes the direction of the narrative. Also pay attention to when you see red and blue light. In EXO's MVs when you see red light this is where the Red Force has control, and when you see blue light this is where EXO has the upperhand. However, if you see purple light this is when EXO and the Red Force are battling for control -- red and blue mixed together make purple. Unfortunately, as you can see, what makes EXO's storyline even more difficult to follow is the fact that nothing is ever in chronological order. So you really have to pay close attention to every detail, to even begin to make connections.
Love EXO... I'm a huge EXO-L. That said I recommend Monsta X They're my number 2. Hero, Shoot out, Love U, rush hour. All their songs are great. And of course MORE EXO. Lotto, koko bop, growl and Obsession All of their songs are amazing.
thank you, react's closing song this time, don't fight the feeling, is a special album for fans because exo will be on hiatus to carry out military service in his country Exo songs never fail especially in vocals, I hope you react more exo I recommend to see their live performances and concerts
EXO are EXO, the vocal group, I have not seen a complete group, and all of them can sing like EXO, for example. There is a famous phrase that says, "If everyone was looking for talent and not trend, they would become fans of EXO."
Every Exo comeback since 2012 to 2020, they always do a different genre and EXO LOGO design each specifically made to fit the theme for every album comeback and even the bside tracks of every album are a perfectly blend of different genre of music as well🎶🔥💯
Exo were the most popular and the biggest kpop idol till 2017.Though they are in the military service and inactive now,they are the 3rd most popular Kpop group in the world. We,Exols are one of the biggest fanbases in the world.
Some of their B-sides are also insane... El Dorado, Lightsaber, etc... But to appreciate them fully, you have to listen to live versions... Spectacular...
Fun fact I used to listen to tempo EVERYDAY and I would rewind sehun rapping like 10 times!! It’s my favorite part of the song, along with all the beautiful harmonies of course! And the guys voice that you liked at the end of monster is baekhyun!! He’s my bias!
EXO are aliens from exoplanet. They've super powers. All their music videos are connected. If you'll watch from the very beggining the year they debut as kpop group you'll understand
Omg finally.... They are called as vocal kings of kpop... Legends of kpop
And visuals too
Shinee are the kings of kpop! For me 🤔🥰

I think you’d like “The Eve,” “Overdose,” “Sign,” and “Obsession.” Honestly- everything they do is amazing.

Don't fight the feeling is a special album for fans. Currently EXO is in the middle of their mandatory military enlistment. The album is dedicated to fans to give strength who are still waiting patiently for them. 2 members are already done with their military service, 3 will be out this year, 1 next year and 2 youngest still need to serve😥, 1 don't need to go because he's chinese. For now EXO is focusing on solo careers and fewer member release whenever they can.
Fun fact; They hold the record(guiness records) for fastest sold out concert ever in just 0.2s
My goddd that's insaneee 🔥🔥🔥
wow insane
Yes that’s true
YESSSSSSS
EXO’s music in general is more mature/adult like compared to other kpop groups
Yeah they’re man since their debute not boys
18:58.... Don't worry.. Exo does this to every guy.. Your not the only one
EXO is one of the most successful kpop groups ever
They are 9 members and debuted in 2012
They considered Vocal and RnB kings of kpop bc they have some of the best vocalists and dancers in the industry
Their music is mostly RnB influenced but they do other genres too,they very experimenting
*"Don't fight the feeling"* is a special album dedicated to the fanbase *"EXO-Ls"* , you should listen to the b-side songs they are fire
EXO are very big and successful it’s just that they don’t promote in West that’s why they are less known there,but they still have managed to have a lot of West fans (like myself)
They even got called to perform at Coachella but their company didn’t let them for whatever reason
They have many records and they even performed in 2018 Olympics as representatives of Kpop, they are named Nation’s pick by the Korean government
One of the most talented groups out there
Their vocals,concept,visuals and discography are top notch
No one does it like EXO amazing artists and trendsetters
They made crop tops in males a trend in kpop in Tempo(2018)
and the mullets in Ko Ko Bop
Yes
Face chain in obsession
EXO is the most well rounded group in kpop
Vocal and RnB kings of kpop
They are trendsetters in kpop and idols of idols for the newer groups
EXO are on military hiatus rn(Every Korean has to go to military until 30) so most of the members are in military rn
But they still do comebacks just not that often and they concentrated more on Solos(they have some of the most successful soloists in kpop as well) until they all finish their service
Don’t fight the feeling wasn’t a proper comeback it was just a special gift for the fans that are waiting for them,that’s why it has more of a cute/happy vibe compared to most EXO songs which have more of a dark aesthetic ,it had no promotion at all(no live stage etc) but they still sold millions
They considered to have the best discography in kpop for many people
One of the best
@@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971
The best
@@rikhmjustsomeguywithmousta4971 THE BEST
to each of their own, but exo definitely top tiers
Inarguably, THE BEST DISCOGRAPHY IN KPOP. If you are amazed by the MVs, you'll be blown away by the live stages. EXO doesn't hold the ' THE WORLD's FASTEST SELLING CONCERT IN HISTORY' for nothing.
OBSESSION next please.
When I want show my friends kpop I just show them EXO bc it’s the only group that I have seen everyone likes
Their lives are crazyyyy too,amazing performers
They hold the record for fastest sold out concert in the world in just 0.2s
Vocal kings
In this group even rappers can sing very very well
They also have some of the most successful kpop soloists like Baekhyun(First Korean solo artist to sale over 1M copies)
Actually EXO have a concept that they are from EXO planet(EXO means outer) a planet out of our solar system(first group to have a storyline ever) Each member has his own superpower and they are chased by the Red Force (brief explanation)
EVEYTHING EXO do is related to their concept(not only MVs which ofc are connected) ,there are many theory videos on yt about it,it’s very interesting and super detailed
well, as several comments here have already mentioned, Don't Fight The Feeling is a special song that was released in 2021 in the middle of the group's military hiatus, I love DFTF and it's always on my upbeat playlists. To be honest EXO is well known for making multiple genres of music, I will divide some songs into two categories to facilitate your reactions.
Bright upbeat songs:
Love Me Right
Call Me Baby
Ko Ko Bop
Lucky One
Power
Growl
History
Coming Over (no full MV on UA-cam just short ver.)* also kinda dark
Darker concept:
Obsession (I really hope you react to Obsession in the next one, you liked Monster a lot, I'm sure this one will be your favorite too)
MAMA
Overdose (this one is kinda dark concept with an amazing beat)
Electric Kiss (one of my favorites, unfortunately there's no full MV on UA-cam because it's a Japanese comeback, so it would be nice to react to the short version and the dance practice that contains the full song)**
Wolf
Lotto
What Is Love (this one is a slow jam
)
If I put any song in the wrong category, please correct me. I also didn't add the ballads/winter songs
** link of Electric Kiss full MV on vimeo vimeo.com/277412915
* link of Coming Over full MV on dailymotion www.dailymotion.com/video/x5q3u0y
Most of the members are ambassadors of big brands like Gucci,Dior,Calvin Klein etc
EXO is a amazing boy group i love them so much!!❤️🔥
EXO got me into kpop
Welcome to EXOplanet :)
EXO's discography is very diverse.
The members are so talented and they're known as vocal kings as well.
EXO's currently in their military hiatus and they'll be celebrating their 10th yr anniversary this year!!
U have to check out their whole albums ,they have amazing discography
Next you should definitely check out: Obsession, Call me baby and Growl. They're dope too. EXO sounds even better live, please consider to react to their live performance. Btw, thank you for this, I'm glad that you enjoyed.
“dont fight the feeling” is a GIFT for fans they released it only for their fans. its a fun and easy feel good song. They filmed the mv in a very short amount of time
Omg, exo is one of the kpop legends, from 3rd gen of kpop. 10 years in the industry, so many achievements the have, even their individual achievements, they are multi talented, vocal king, great discography.
All the visuals in the MVs have to do with their EXO planet concept/storyline
Don’t fight the feeling wasn’t a proper comacn it was a special one for the fans (bc most members are in military) that’s why it’s more cute/happy ,usually EXO songs are more dark or mysterious and the lyrics usually are sad even if the song might sound happy
Exo is hands down the coolest kpop boy group
One of the most amazing groups that exists. I have been part of the fandom for like 9 years and I have never hate one of their songs, all the members (9) are really talented and wonderful artists.
EXO is the best group not only his dance and song but also his relationship to its other thats why i really love EXO.❤️🇰🇷🇨🇿
Yes finally Exo.. please Reaction to more Exo Mv
I used to say Exo is the best vocal group in this industry, just because all of the 9 members has amazing vocal skills. And the vocal line (Baekhyun, Chen, D.O., Xiumin, Lay, Suho) could easily be compared to singers like Dimash...
I think you are a very naive if you think that i love exo but please dimash iz just another level, exo are a very talented vocal group for pop standards but dimash is every standard literraly from operatic to clasical from very low to the highest with superior teqnique he isnt comparable with any kpop group
@@francoisdaureville323 I don't think so... certainly did my research before posting the comment above. Lay and Suho have both been in opera musicals and I think Lay's voice Is on another level. Just because they're in a boy group, singing pop songs, doesn't mean they can't have opera-like skilled vocals. Thats the case for them, if you do your research you'll find out I'm not exaggerating, nor fangirling. But it's really risky to compare them to Dimash, truth is I was just trying to say they have opera singer vocals. Watch Really didn't I know Immortal Songs (Baekhyun + Chen) live, amazing live vocals by Exo and best live vocals by exo 2020 - these videos can show a bit of what I'm taking about.
@@elgatodelskz high notes dont equal vocal talent just 3 members of exo has actual vocal resonance D.O chen and baekhyun, and from them CHEN is the only member who have shown actual clásical ability in like how you said i really didnt know baekhyun is a pop singer a very talented and powerful pop singer like Bruno mars or Ariana grande or something like that, chen can train more his ability but he isnt in dimash level of vocal teqnique and ability and D.O is more of a RnB singer he isnt as powerful as baekhyun or chen but he has a very ágile Voice and runs, so yes you are getting your fangirl take over you, something i give to exo is their Amazing vibrato most kpop Groups singers main vocalist cant even do that in exo even xiumin and suho sometimes even chanyeol a rapper can and thats sad for kpop.
@@elgatodelskz And lay isnt that good of a singer he strains a lot more than any singer in exo he force his high notes and that can be noticed, thsts why some people even put chanyeol a little higher than lay sometimes in vocal ability
@@francoisdaureville323 mm...ok. keep your opinion with you, I'll keep mine. But am I supposed to be offended because you said I'm letting my fangirl takes over me? Maybe you are offended because you think Dimash is so high, he can't be compared to anyone in this pop industry. But I don't consider myself part of any fandom though. I just like music. Period.
I discovered Kpop when I was sick with flu, with pretty decent fever and taking codeine cough syrup. I first discovered Boombaya by Blackpink, and then Monster by EXO. I think I listened to Monster about 100 times that weekend. I was probably hallucinating a little bit, but it was epic.
Exo are the greatest.
Check EXO full album of DON’T FIGHT THE FEELING it’s a Bop!🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️🇵🇭
They are vocal kings of kpop and you get even more shocked when you see their live performances.. please keep reacting to EXO in the future.

The "Humming part" is called "Acapella", which means singing without musical instruments. As EXO are vocal kings, they are the best at it.
Trust me your not the only one who went through a mental breakdown discovering EXO, we all been there and still going through it every single EXO comeback😍🤧💯💖
no matter what anyone says, EXO is the most perfect group the KPOP INDUSTRY will ever see! Visual, vocal, character, everything is in them.

OMG i also love exo-monster and their sing for you, miracles in december, lotto, for life and xoxo album. I've been a fan of them since mama era but i decided to leave the fandom when lay is always in china promoting his album and making name in his own country but i always listen to their comeback or their sub unit like CBX... my bias is suho since their debut and till now. I really miss exo and i'm thankful to you lucas because you reacted to their song i hope you will also react to their other songs because you won't regret it because all of their songs and albums are bop and all of the members are talented. I think i will comeback to the fandom when all of the member finished their military service hopefully they will renew their contract (because i think their contract will expired this 2022? i'm not sure) but even tho they will not renew i think i will still support them individually
MY ULTS 🙏
god I love these men so much. exo have literally never made a bad song in their lives.
Just some general info-
exo’s age range is ‘90-‘94 the members eldest to youngest are: Xiumin, Suho(leader), Lay, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, D.O, Kai and Sehun.
Exo debuted in 2012 with their title track ‘MAMA’ and were split into two separate groups, EXO-M and EXO-K. Exo-K consisted of members- Suho(leader), Baekhyun, Chanyeol, D.O, Kai and Sehun. They produced music in korean. (hence exo-K) EXO-M consisted of Xiumin, Lay, Chen, and former members- Kris(leader), Luhan and Tao. They produced music in Mandarin(hence exo-M)
Lay, Kris, Luhan and Tao were all chinese members, and the latter three left over a period of a few years due mainly to unfair treatment (unfortunately SM Ent. does not have a good track record for treating their foreign members well...) Lay is now the only Chinese member left it EXO. Before ‘Don’t Fight the Feeling’ the last exo MV that Lay was in was ‘Tempo’(2018) and he only had a cameo shot... this is due to Lays status in China(he is a youth ambassador) and the political conflict between China and South Korea. Many EXO-L’s were super worried that Lay would not be coming back for a long time so him being in ‘Don’t Fight the Feeling’ was huge for us as a fandom and such a happy moment. Lay also has made it clear multiple times that although he is not always able to promote with them, he is still, and always will be a member. Lay is also one of the top solo artists in China.
At a point during the three members leaving, SM decided to combine EXO-K and EXO-M to form one group- EXO!
The fandom name EXO-L was chosen because L is the letter in between K and M and it showed the uniting factor between the two groups. L also stands for love. You may also see EXO members and or EXO-L’s call them selves Eris, which is a shortened form of the Korean name for ‘EXO-L’ and EXO’s light stick is called an Eribong.
Exo’s introduction slogan is ‘We are One’ referencing the combination of the two previous groups and EXO’s leader Suho uses this to introduce the group, as well as ‘Lets Love’ at the end of speeches and other.
Anyways- as you could probably tell I could go on and on about this group but I hope this gave you some helpful information!
Hope you react next to their "acoustic medley" on their concert. So you can hear their vocals live.😊
They lyrics of Monster are kinda provocative and talk about a toxic relationship
That "badass guy" from Monster MV, is one the EXO's main vocalists, Baekhyun. He is successful solo artist himself. He is million seller solo artist in 19 years. Check his albums City Lights, Delight and Bambi. All of them R&B based and he has Japanese album too
Thx for the reaction *EXO* are kings of vocals, RnB & harmonisation in Kpop, plllz react to some members solo work as
*EXO's Baekhyun "Bambi"* mv
*EXO's D.O "Si Fueras Mia"* no mv
*EXO's Kai "Mmmh"* mv
*EXO's Lay "Lit"* mv
.......all the other members have their solo works i will request them later if you want to try to know them better , merciii 🤗
I enjoyed your reaction. 😁 Don't Fight The Feeling is one of their best albums (at least for me) This is a no skip album. I hope that you can do an album reaction.
Please react to their live videos too. Their live vocals are insane!
React to EXO Diamond+Coming over+Run this+Drop that+Power live in Seoul🔥🔥
10:42 he is Baekhyun (main vocal)
EYOOO VOCAL KINGS IN THE BUILDING Y'ALL...KIIIIINGS THE LAST ONE (DFTF) WAS A GIFT FOR US EXO-LS (NAME OF OUR DEAR FANDOM) FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY..WELCOME DEAR
Seeing and hearing exo music videos make you have different emotions, you feel hype, sad, happy and bomb, that's the real king of kpop ♥️♥️♥️
In EXO's "Don't Fight the Feeling" they used green screen during a lot of the MV because Lay -- EXO's Chinese member -- was unable to be in Korea to shoot the MV, so he shot all his parts separate in his studio in China and they inserted them into the MV. This MV was released in June 2021 -- during the pandemic -- and it was shot right before Baekhyun and Chanyeol enlisted in the military. This mini album was a special project they did for EXO-Ls because Xiumin and D.O. had just been discharged -- which is one reason why they have a prominent role in the MV -- and Chanyeol and Baekhyun were about to enlist. (Suho and Chen had already enlisted before this MV was planned, so they were the only members who did not participate.) So there were only 7 members in this MV. EXO won't be all back together for a comeback again until 2024-25.
"Don't Fight the Feeling" is a milestone for fans because this is the first time we have seen Lay back together with EXO since 2016, because of all the political issues between Korea and China.
As you see in the MV, EXO are literally from EXO Planet. As you are starting to discover, the group's whole concept since their debut in 2012 is that they are aliens who have come from Planet Exo on a mission to protect the Tree of LIfe from the Red Force and to stop the Red Force from inflicting their evil agenda on humanity.
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. SM Entertainment has all of EXO's release dates and concepts planned out for years in advance, and it is all designed to be another chapter in EXO's story.
"Don't Fight the Feeling" is also connected to EXO's and SuperM's storyline and it's all part of SM's Universe. If you follow the storylines of all of SM's groups you will see connections can be made with "Don't Fight the Feeling" to EXO's story, as well as several of SM's other groups' MVs. For example, the flag you see in this MV should remind you of the flags you see as the logo during EXO's "Obsession" comeback, as well as the flags you will see if you watch EXO's live concert performance of their song "El Dorado", and the scene with Sehun on the motorcycle should remind you of the scenes with him on the motorcycle when you watch EXO's "Tempo" and "Lightsaber" MVs, etc.
The meteors and the explosions, etc. are all part of SM's Universe storyline, as well. You see the planet burning at the end of EXO's "Obsession" MV and you will see everything on fire when you watch Lay's "Sheep" Alan Walker Relift version MV. And I think it's even connected to the meteor shower you see happening in WayV's "Moonwalk" MV, etc.
And I think the blue drink we see Kai drinking has something to do with the blue drink we see EXO drinking in their "Ko Ko Bop" MV.
This storyline has been going on for more than 9 years, so it's really complex and hard to follow unless you really dive in deep and pay attention to even the most minute of details in all of the MVs, teaser videos, concert performances, concert VCRs, members' solo content and sub-unit work, etc. from EXO, as well as a large majority of all of SM's other groups' content.
Fun fact: If you notice, they use red, white and blue all over in this MV, which are South Korea's colors. Plus, red and blue are all part of EXO's storyline. As mentioned before, with everything EXO does, red represents the Red Force and blue is thought to represent EXO. So when you see the red light this is where the Red Force is thought to have control and when you see blue, this is thought to be where EXO has the upper hand. When you see purple -- red and blue mixed together make purple -- or both red and blue together in the same scene, this is often where the lines are blurred and the Red Force and EXO are fighting for control or battling each other for power.
Therefore, because we see EXO in blue and black when they are part of the crew of the ship -- similar to the outfits we saw in "Obsession" -- this is most likely an indication that this is EXO. However, when we see them in the group "party scene" this could possibly be X-EXO. We see Lay in red and other members with red accents, so they might be under the Red Forces' control.
If you watch the behind the scenes shooting video of "Don't Fight the Feeling," ua-cam.com/video/9jLMVuQKd0g/v-deo.html, as well as Lay's behind the scenes shooting video in China, ua-cam.com/video/Xq2WjjW7gZE/v-deo.html, you will see why things were done the way they were.
The song is called "Tempo" and the album is named Don't Mess Up My Tempo, so, the tempo keeps speeding up and slowing down. 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 Entertainment group, it shouldn't be a surprise that EXO are amazing vocalists -- hence the acapella part in the song. 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. That is why SM is known as the vocal powerhouse of the industry. And EXO is a perfect example of that.
As you are starting to discover, 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.
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 also still could be trapped in different rooms within the maze, like what we saw them in their "Overdose" MV. 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. Often, when you use a character in one of SM's MVs with blue eyes or different eye colors this is usually means they are not who they appear to be.
The "Chess game" is thought to be supernatural EXO chess, and I don't think it's a game they are playing, but I think maybe it's something they are using to try to decipher a clue or figure out a way out of wherever the Red Force has them trapped at the moment. It's unclear right now what that scene is really telling us, but I have a feeling things will become clearer in the future as more of EXO's storyline is unveiled in future MVs and as SM's SM Culture Universe storyline continues to evolve.
You also see Sehun on the motorcycle in this MV, which I now think is connected to the scene where we see him driving a motorcycle in EXO's "Lightsaber" MV and sitting on the motorcycle in their new "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV.
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.
EXO's Chinese member, Lay, is in this MV, but you won't see or hear him sing or dance 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.
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.
Best kpop discography
Facts EXO KINGS OF KPOP, they are incredible insane in everything you can't choose 💜 like group or soloists, like actors or singers, like rappers or dancers they're so outstanding, hanks for your reaction I really love it, you have a long trip whit EXO and you're going to falling in love 🥰
I have watched so many k-pop groups but somehow EXO captured my heart....and since thn I'm an EXO-L and EXO is my happy place.
Love your reaction so much, waiting for another exo's songs reaction😍
Everything SM Entertainment does is connected to EXO's storyline like one giant graphic novel or mystery movie series. Each new MV or project that is created is like the next chapter in SM's SM Culture Universe. And "Monster" is another piece of that story.
"Monster" was released in 2016, so there are 9 members in this MV.
As the English lines in "Monster" say ... They're "Creeping, Creeping Creeping .... Creeping in your heart babe" "You can call me Monster (because) I'm creeping in your heart babe." "She got me goin' crazy." The song's called "Monster," so the words are about acting like a monster: "Don't be afraid, love is the way ... I'm sorry, you make me sooo craaaazzzy, you know you dooooo."
So the floating watch and the car that is on fire in reverse, etc., I think was -- on top of being a metaphor in the story -- also supposed to be the members using their superpowers. And the snake, like a monster, mirrors the beat of the song, which kind of slithers like a snake as a metaphor for the way the guy slithers in and out of the relationship stealing warmth and affection from the girl, but in the end, leaving her cold and alone like a cold-blooded snake, etc. The snake is also red, so it is thought to be linked to something involving the Red Force.
However, the lyrics of the song have very little to do with the story in the MV. If you want to know what the song is about, you should look up an English translation of the lyrics. Because the lyrics tell a different story than the story in the MV. In the song the members are talking about a girl and they are telling the girl that "You can call me Monster" because I know I am bad for you and I will ruin you. I know that when we are over that I will have destroyed everything that is good about you, but I don't care because I want you so much that it doesn't matter to me. But the MV is about EXO's origin story and about the fact that they have come to Earth on a mission to stop the Red Force from corrupting humanity.
Also, the majority of the choreography for "Monster" has to do with the members using their powers, so when/if you watch the dance practice and/or watch a live performance, if you know what you are looking for, you will see that each move is done for a very specific reason.
The X they make to represent EXO is only the beginning of the story in their choreography. Every move of the choreography has been designed to be an extension of their story and it uses elements of their dance to represent several of the members using their powers. For example, D.O. has the power of super strength, so during his part in the song and choreography you will see that he waves his hands and the other members are pushed away from him or pulled toward him. When you see Suho in the middle of the group and they have a hold of his arms, he rotates his body around like swirling water because Suho has the power to control water. Xiumin has the power to control snow/ice/frost, so during one part of the choreography you will see that each of the members pause as if frozen as he moves in front of them. Sehun has the power to control wind, so during his parts, you will see the other members shuffle around him as if they are creating a windstorm. And the part where they are sitting on the ground is supposed to represent a sundial -- EXO gets their power from the eclipse and their powers are affected by planetary and solar phenomenon, so the sundial is meant to represent the passing of time and their connection to the sun.
You should also make note that EXO's next MV for their song "Lotto" is a prequel to "Monster," so when you watch "Lotto," if you keep in mind what you saw happen in "Monster" is what is going to take place after or in conjunction with the events in "Lotto", the story might make more sense.
How "Monster" and "Lotto" tie into EXOs larger storyline is a little open ended, but because "Lotto" is thought to be the prequel to "Monster," I think the story starts out in "Lotto" where the members have somehow infiltrated this big gambling ring and are undercover as they work to uncover a clue or something they need in order to accomplish their tasks here on Earth. I think the underground gambling establishment is run by a gang of bad guys who are probably members of the Red Force.
"Lotto" is where we are introduced to a girl who is being held captive. And ultimately, I think what EXO are trying to do is rescue the girl from the Red Force, but they are trying to do it without blowing their cover or being found out. So, that's why you see in "Lotto," and continued in "Monster," the members are fighting against the police because the police have come in to take down the gambling ring and rescue the girl, which is also what EXO are trying to do. However, the members of EXO don't want to be discovered, so they play along as if they are part of the bad guys. EXO are supposed to be going about their tasks here on Earth incognito, and humanity is never supposed to find out that EXO are other-worldly beings, so they are trying to keep a low profile.
As we see in the end of "Monster," Baekhyun disguises himself as one of the police and helps the other members escape from the back of the police van before they are taken to jail and/or captured by the Red Force, etc.
You also see Lay, EXO's Chinese member, crouched in the middle of what looks like a pile of people -- I'm not sure whether these are the FBI agents, or if these are members of the Red Force -- and I think he is checking to make sure they are OK and possibly trying to use his power of healing to fix things and heal the injured.
Because some theories believe that EXO are traveling between time periods and dimensions, I think in "Monster" they also might be showing how some of the members are arriving on scene at different moments in the timeline of events that are taking place in the MV -- the members don't necessarily arrive at the location together. For instance, you also see Kai standing on or near a giant pile of people as well, and he seems to be standing over them. Some have pointed to this as possibly showing evil X-EXO Kai -- Kai's alter ego clone that was created by the Red Forced and introduced in EXO's "Obsession" MV -- who has done something bad, but I think this may be showing good EXO Kai, who has just shown up at that moment, observing what has taken place. Because Kai has the power of teleportation he is the one that is in charge of bringing the members together and traveling between time and space, so I think he has shown up from a different time or place and is now trying to figure out what has happened, etc.
In EXO's "Obsession" MV the members in the bright colored clothing with the crazy makeup and hair are supposed to be X-EXO and the ones in the black or dark colored clothing are supposed to be EXO. So, in the parts where they are dressed in all black in "Monster" I think this is showing EXO, and where you see them in the clothing with red accents, this might by showing X-EXO. At the time when "Monster" was first released, we had no idea about X-EXO's existence, but since "Obsession", we have started to go back and reanalyze some of their older MVs, and it appears that what we thought was always EXO, may have been in fact X-EXO some of the time.
As you can see, EXO's story is always evolving and changing, and just when you think you have one part understood, SM introduces a new piece of the story and changes the direction of the narrative.
Also pay attention to when you see red and blue light. In EXO's MVs when you see red light this is where the Red Force has control, and when you see blue light this is where EXO has the upperhand. However, if you see purple light this is when EXO and the Red Force are battling for control -- red and blue mixed together make purple.
Unfortunately, as you can see, what makes EXO's storyline even more difficult to follow is the fact that nothing is ever in chronological order. So you really have to pay close attention to every detail, to even begin to make connections.

EXO is the best in Kpop for me. Nothing is going to change that. From concept to Vocals to Visuals to songs to dance to harmonisation
I love Monster, one of the best songs of Kpop ever, 💙
EXO are EXO, the vocal group, I have not seen a complete group, and all of them can sing like EXO, for example. There is a famous phrase that says, "If everyone was looking for talent and not trend, they would become fans of EXO."
Every Exo comeback since 2012 to 2020, they always do a different genre and EXO LOGO design each specifically made to fit the theme for every album comeback and even the bside tracks of every album are a perfectly blend of different genre of music as well🎶🔥💯
Exo were the most popular and the biggest kpop idol till 2017.Though they are in the military service and inactive now,they are the 3rd most popular Kpop group in the world. We,Exols are one of the biggest fanbases in the world.
Some of their B-sides are also insane... El Dorado, Lightsaber, etc... But to appreciate them fully, you have to listen to live versions... Spectacular...
Fun fact I used to listen to tempo EVERYDAY and I would rewind sehun rapping like 10 times!! It’s my favorite part of the song, along with all the beautiful harmonies of course! And the guys voice that you liked at the end of monster is baekhyun!! He’s my bias!
Before i into kpop.. I already love to watch this mv and dance practice.. And now i love exo sooo muchhh.. 'monster' still one of my fav until now
Exo’s dance practice for Monster is something you need in your life.
Thank you 😉 more Exo please 🔥
