EXO's Miracles in December and First Snow charts every year they are the Mariah Carey in Korea these songs start charting last November
AAHHH! I knew it!!! Thank you so much for answering our question about this!
There is truly something special about EXO's Winter albums... they are both warm and melancholy. There is pain and comfort, like yes the world is dark but there is also great light ... and I go back to listen again and again...
This def made me want to listen to their winter albums. Honestly, I didn't know they had so many!
Same, I especially love the Universe winter album. It came out during a rough year so it's very special to me especially "Lights Out" in particular. I would love to incorporate it into my EXO tattoo that I want to get one day but I can't think of how to incorporate "Lights Out" into it lol
To explain what is happening in the story in EXO's "Miracles in December" MV. If you notice, Xiumin was the one that made it snow. Xiumin has the power to control ice/frost/snow, so anytime something has to do with these weather elements they will focus on him. In the MV you see Xiumin in the red sweater and the black vest with the lapel pin that is shaped like EXO's logo. He steps outside and looks up at the sky and at that moment his pin shimmers and it begins to snow. It is thought that the members' powers are tied to their emotions, so when Xiumin is sad or melancholy, he almost can't help it, and he will make it snow.
And, as you may have noticed, Tao is the one that turned back time and then instantly brought time back to the present again, because he has the power to control time. The snow was falling in reverse at one point because Tao was rewinding time. Then you see everything pause for a second and the snow starts falling down again when he brings everything back to the present.
As you also probably saw, there was an eclipse. Eclipses affect the members powers and it is also where they gather strength, etc. So you will see them focus on an eclipse or something to do with the moon and sun, or other planetary phenomenon, in a lot of EXO's storyline.
This even happens in live performances. You will see instances of them using their powers to control things that happen on stage during live concert performances. Suho makes it rain on stage, Xiumin will make it snow, Chanyeol will control fire, Chen will control the thunder and lightning, Baekhyun often makes the lights go on and off, etc. If you keep this all in mind when you watch any of their MVs or live performances, it's kind of fun to search for the instances where they are using their powers. In some MVs and songs the members use their powers more than others, but at least one member will use their powers in almost everything they do, it just might be more subtle sometimes than others. So this is just another element of EXO's performances that make watching them unique.
"Miracles in December" is a kind of breakup song that is about how the holidays makes you nostalgic for that loved one that you are no longer with. It makes you remember all the good times and makes you wish you were together even though you know, deep down, you are better off now that you have broken up.
All the gifts are supposed to be what they would have given to their girlfriends if they hadn't broken up before the holidays.
I interpret the story as, "she" was a different girl for each of the members, and "she" was not meeting any of them, she was a memory of a past relationship that was no more. That's why Tao turns back time for a moment to relive being in the relationship, but then quickly returns to the present because he knows, deep down, he is better off and that you really can't go back in time and expect to fix everything in the relationship. That's why they are all sad and crying because they are heartbroken. I like to think, for example, that the puppy was probably going to be a present for Kai's girlfriend, but now that they have broken up, it just reminds him of her. it's kind of a bittersweet memory. :D
The "miracle" is that the girl had such a profound impact on their life that, even though they aren't together anymore, she will always play a big role in his life history, etc. The "miracle" is that the holidays give you a reason to look back and reflect on those special moments in life, and even though the memories might make them sad because they are no longer able to make new memories together, the old memories are still there. And the "miracle" is that he has now realized she has taught him so much about love and life, but unfortunately, he has realized it too late and he can't go back, so he is sad. He's now upset because he is unable to show her the appreciation she deserves, etc., etc.
As you can see, "Miracles In December" features the 4 main vocalists in EXO. In the EXO-M version you see that Luhan sings instead of D.O. Luhan was one of the main vocalist in EXO-M. Chen and Luhan are both EXO-M members so they sang the Mandarin songs, and to round out the vocals Baekhyun subbed in as an EXO-M member. :D (Xiumin isn't singing in the EXO-M version because he is a lead vocalist and lead rapper, same reason why the rest of the EXO members didn't sing in either MV. This song was meant to feature just the main vocalists.)
"Miracles in December" is part of EXO's winter comeback releases, so, as you heard, it's a ballad. EXO's winter albums are always their ballad albums. Up until the last few years EXO used to come out with 3 to 4 albums a year -- a summer album that was more of their mainstream hype songs and a repackaged album a few weeks later, and then, in the winter, they would release another album that was more of a holiday album and it was all slower ballad songs. But the last few years EXO's first comeback of the year hasn't been until the end of the year -- for example, Don't Mess Up My Tempo was released in November 2018 and the Obsession album didn't come out until November 2019. So, I guess, because the first album and repackage were released so late in the year, SM decided that releasing a winter holiday album would just be too soon after the other album. So we haven't gotten a new winter album for several years now. Which I think is a shame because EXO's ballads are really beautiful and I enjoy them almost more than their other songs.
If you like the studio version of "Miracles in December," just wait until you see them perform this song live. I think it will grow on you even more. :D
Wow. You blow me away every time. Thank you for all the time and effort when you write all of this out to us. We appreciate you!
Currently EXO's first snow is the highest charting boygroup song in Melon. Yesterday it was highest charting boygroup song in melon, genie and bugs Has hit #5 of Spotify sou kor viral 50 few days ago and Miracles in December and Christmas Day are quickly climbing up the charts
EXO- the Mariah Carey of k-pop !
Freakin' amazing! I knew you guys would know! Thank you for sharing this. Love it.
Exo's live stage -->" Christmas days + the first snow + miracles in December" is a very cute & touching performance, you guys can check it out if you want 💖💙💚💛💜
Thank you so much for the rec!
EXO "First Snow" always climbs the Charts when it starts to snow in Korea, the song was released in 2013 on the Album "Miracles in December". And the Idols always sing the song in lives youtube.com/@exo-l7726
Ah! What a cool channel! Thank you for sharing.
We'll def need to check out First Snow too! It's one of the many EXO songs requested on our Christmas list! :)
For promotions, Lay would play the piano for them, and there's a great version where Lay is playing the piano while Baekhyun, Chen, D.O, AND Luhan all sing^.^
In EXO's Showtime there's the briefest glimpse of what it's like for some of the members to to sing in a language they're not fluent with, and it's even with this song; it shows Luhan helping Baekhyun and Chen as they prep for a live performance^.^
Luhan was one of the main go-to translators in EXO, cause he was studying Korean and music in a Korean university when he was scouted by SM. He was fluent enough & looked so similar to Sehun, at the time, other trainees at SM apparently thought that not only that he was Korean but they thought he and Sehun were siblings/twins supposedly. (He stills speaks Korean; there's even a video of him speaking Korean to his cat^.^) [Sorry, I'm excited cause Luhan has a music video coming out finally for his newest song Keep Me Alive, which I *love*, and he's actually in the mv, for the first time in a while!~ And his look is very similar to his one here, which is one of my favorite looks on him^.^]
Torie, I totally remembered your VIXX comment and how VIXX was promoting "Voodoo Doll" while EXO was promoting this song (and of course remembered what you said about their special relationship!).
Ooohhh~! I had no idea that Luhan is one of the main go-to translators in EXO! I didn't think Luhan and Sehun looked alike in the video, but I can see some of the similarities. =).
Wow, when is Luhan's video coming out?! How exciting!!!
@@LaChiMoLaLaOT7 @LaChiMoLaLa I thought about mentioning it again; I'm happy you remembered^.^
Yeah, back in the day, Lay and Tao really relied on Luhan to translate/explain for them sometimes, especially back as trainees. (He's also pretty good at English; he has a few songs, like Keep Me Alive, that are in English.) Even years after returning to China there's clips of him talking comfortably in Korean; there's even one of him talking to one of his cats in Korean^.^ But even he had moments where he looked towards members, like Baekhyun, to explain certain things (you'll see it in Showtime)^.^ [EXO Showtime and their group appearances on a Chinese variety show called Happy Camp has some great glimpses on how they handle language barriers~~~]
The mv should be out today/tomorrow depending on timezone; I'll let you know when, cause it looks cool^.^
Wow thank you for sharing that. I seriously did not know!
@@LaChiMoLaLaOT7 So, the mv is out/been out~ I was waiting to see if his studio's channel was going to upload it, cause they uploaded the teaser there, before I said anything, but they still haven't put it up there... so, I figured I'd mention that you can find it on yt just searching "luhan keep me alive mv" (a channel called chaubabes 77 has it)^.^
this song hits different when it's winter time especially when the first snow fall in South Korea this song and The First Snow is always on the chart and also this song is on repeat for me..... love your exo reactions please do more
P.S. the puppy that you saw is actually Kai's puppy
Oh wow! I didn't know that puppy is actually his. So freakin' cute!
First Snow is so beautiful. An EXO-L just told us the other day that it hit #4 on the Melon chart!
Amazing reaction. I really really love exo winter albums not only because they are beautiful and perfect for the season but because all the money that that get from them is donated in different things, most often to kids and their Christmas.
Hoping you can react to sing for you, that is one of the most personal
exo-exol title tracks.
Pd: first snow is the song that returns to the charts each year since it release in 2013 in this season, Korean people loves to hear the song while they see the first snow each year and that's why when it rise up in the charts they thing it's the beginning of the season.
Wow!!! I didn't know proceeds go to charities! That is so freakin' amazing. How can one not love these guys?!
I love how their winter songs continues to chart every year!
If you want to hear more Xiumin, you should check out EXO-CBX. This subunit is amazing!
I would suggest “Hey Mama” or “Blooming Day” MVs first. And please also check out Blooming Day dance practice. None of them are main dancers in EXO, but this dance practice is FIRE!
Xiumin is so underrated. He's such a cutie and I enjoy his voice. =)
We haven't made it to "Blooming Day" yet, but we will! We are making our rounds. lol. We watched "Hey Mama" already and loved it:

EXO's First Snow always comesback in Korean chart once first snow fall in Korea.
So awesome!
Oh this was cute (and funny) lol It's fine, you didn't come off like you weren't paying attention or making fun. You just come off as flustered 😂
I cannot with Baek's vocals and these visuals. Like stop. haha. My goodness these men.
Pleeeease, check exo's live stage " Christmas days + the first snow + miracles in December"
We are a little iffy on reacting on YT of performances nowadays because of copyright strikes being handed left and right. :\. We may have to do this on another platform tbh!
“You did not” LMAO 😂
😂😂😂
As a fellow Monbebe, you understand. lol.
One of my fav EXO ballads! Reminds me of the kind of song that Josh Groban would sing.
I'm sure many EXOLs would've recommended Christmas Day and First Snow. Glad to know that you girls got snowed under a good pile of songs lol.
P/S: A confession....I do love THAT Mariah song lmao
Such a beautiful ballad. Really enjoyed this song and clearly the visuals. lol.
Josh Groban has such an amazing voice (TMI: I used to work for his label

Thank you so much Tammy & Beth ...you made me cry for the first time laughing to miracles in december .....😂 ahhh Seasons greetings ❄️☃️💙
Thank you for being understanding and being happy with us! By all means, I was not expecting that to happen. Baekhyun's vocals are simply like honey to me, and I can't help but get giggly when I hear his gorgeous voice.
I really like exo winter album.
.this album has almost Christmas feel. exo album more to winter than Christmas
This song made me want to check out the album now!
LOL! Tammy got hot and bothered!
I can't handle Baek and Sehun when they're back to back like that. Apparently this is my kryptonite with these guys. lol.
@@LaChiMoLaLaOT7 what mellowdrama is this..lamao tammy u totaly lost it ....😂😂😂 it's supposed to be sad....i'm laughing out loud now ...😁😁😁
LOL. It's hard not to lose my sanity with these guys. =). I'm glad you were able to see how much I love my bias and bias wrecker. They make me so flustered, I tell you!
Apparently the best compliment I can give to a band is not what I say but what I do, and I can't help that my glasses fogged up! My body always betrays me. haha.
Please, check : First snow. (This is traditional 😊)
thanks for the reaction
This song is on our radar when we asked for Christmas songs. :)
Thank you so much for watching with us! :)
Have you react to Christmas Day + First Snow and Miracles in December live video ? Its super gud especially for this time
Not yet! We are a little iffy on reacting to performances nowadays because of copyright strikes. We've been burned recently but may have to watch this on another platform for sure. I bet it's amazing!
How old are you? Just ruined my favorite Xmas song that I need for a good cry.
Exactly same dear....i'm supposed to be cry my eyes out as usual everytime i saw or hear this ....but look here i'm luaghing loud like an idiot 😂😂😂😂lmao tammy you really did it..😁
Old enough to be bothered by these stellar and attractive men.
@@LaChiMoLaLaOT7 poor tammy 😁
How old are you that you've let some harmless giggles by somebody you don't even know personally, ruin your favorite Christmas song? Wow the power of Tammy's giggles! I am in awe lmao
Hi... I am sorry if I come across as rude,but what is there so funny?? I don't understand those sudden outbursts of laughter.. I don't think that there is something funny in this SAD song. And I find it ridiculous. If it doesn't get to your feels, then at least don't laugh. Like you can't even listen to that song when you laugh through it. I am really,sorry but this made me really angry and disappointed
If you have to say “sorry if this comes off as rude,” then it is.
You are allowed to feel how you feel, and I’m not gonna fault you for that. However, you have to respect how I feel as well. We explained everything at the end, and it’s clear that you didn’t watch our ending sequence. I even apologized for being flustered and that’s all that it is.
I think it’s a bit judgmental if you think that I didn’t listen to the song all the way through because I did. Both different versions, which we didn’t have to do but we did.
I giggled because of Baekhyun’s vocals and how much it hits my heart and his vocals make me flustered. But I don’t need to really explain myself because people who watch this channel regularly understand and know that.
@LaChiMoLaLa yes.. I didn't watch the reaction till the end... and I am watching your channel regularly, but I have never seen you laugh so much during a ballad,that's why I was disappointed... but it's your way of dealing with things and it's my right to voice my opinion. It's just how I feel about it... otherwise I like every other reaction of yours...
Who are you to tell someone how they should feel or how they should react? Music is art and it's up to the listener to respond to the way they want while listening. In this case, Tammy was reacting to her own reaction to her bias Baekhyun and her bias wrecker Sehun and getting flustered. She was laughing at herself, not the song itself... which she explained. And even if she was laughing at the song who are you to have a problem with that? If the song means something to you, that's great but don't expect everyone to react the same way as you. Also, it ain't that deep.
Right.
As I mentioned, I'm not going to fault you for how you feel because you are allowed to feel how you feel.
If you watched until the very end, then you would understand then you would have known 1) we listened to the songs 2) we know it's sad and 3) I apologized to those who I could have potentially offended (such as yourself). And yes, it is a "coping" mechanism when I get flustered. If you watch our other reactions, I do laugh and smile a lot.
I don't expect people to like every single reaction we do. This channel is authentic, and if you don't like how we react, then that's fine. We don't expect you to love everything we do. We don't want to make people feel angry or disappointed, but we aren't going to be fake here either. What is the point in that if we don't show our true feelings to you guys? This is our journey and our safe place as well, not just for the people who comment here.
And honestly, we haven't gone through many EXO MVs yet, and I've listened to Chen's ballads. Each vocalist hits me differently and I'm sure each artist from EXO hits you differently too (otherwise we wouldn't have biases or bias wreckers).
@@LaChiMoLaLaOT7 You're so much nicer than I am LMAO
