Sorry for the grainy footage. We had like 3 videos a couple of weeks ago that, for some reason were all significantly less sharp and very grainy. It won't happen again!
EXO's "History" MV is supposed to be an introduction for EXO and it was meant to begin to establish their storyline and concept as a group. To understand their "History" MV, here is what you need to know: As aliens from Planet Exo, the members are about to be sent to Earth on a mission. "History" is thought to be about how EXO are still on Planet Exo and they are preparing to be sent to Earth. So that is why it has a very futuristic look and feel to it. There isn't a whole lot of story because it's a pre-debut MV, so this was meant to just introduce the members and establish their concept. "History" is EXO's second pre-debut track. It was released in 2012 -- about 2 months after their first pre-debut song and MV "What is Love," and about 2 months before "Mama," which is EXO's official debut -- so this is more than 12 years ago. "History" is the introduction of the storyline and it explains what lead up to the events in "Mama." In the EXO-K version of "History" we only see the EXO-K (Korean) members -- Kai, D.O, Suho, Sehun, Baekhyun and Chanyeol -- singing, and in the middle of the song we see them flash to the EXO-M (Chinese) members -- Lay, Kris, Chen, Luhan, Xiumin and Tao -- however, if you watch the EXO-M version, you will see that the EXO-M members are the main characters in the story and they only show the EXO-K members briefly. This establishes how the two groups are separate and yet still are all part of one group as EXO. Both versions of their MVs may look the same on the surface, but the story is slightly different because it is being told from a different angle or another perspective in each version. Fun fact: If you compare the English translation of the Korean and Mandarin lyrics, you will see that the songs are slightly different. Because, as the intro to "Mama" points out, the two halves of EXO stand on the same ground and see different things and they stand on different grounds and see the same thing -- they are separate groups and yet they become one, etc. Hence, their songs and story are the same and yet different. The song is called "History" and in the lyrics they talk about making history. It's about failing at something and trying again to make it right. So, the theory is that in this part of the story EXO made some sort of unknown "big mistake" on their planet, so they have been sent to Earth to try and right their wrongs by trying to prevent the Red Force from causing a "big mistake" or prevent humanity from allowing a "big mistake" to happen on Earth. (Which now might be explained by the meteor that is hurtling toward Earth in EXO's new "Let Me In" MV storyline.) They are trying to prevent "History" from repeating itself. And they want to make "History" here on Earth. It establishes the whole reason why EXO are fighting against the Red Force and why they need to find the Tree of Life and restore peace. They can't let whatever happened on their planet happen again on Earth, etc. The part of the dance where they put their hands in their pockets and shake their pants, I interpret as the nervousness and uncertainty that they are feeling as they are about to embark on this new journey as they prepare to go to Earth and also as a representation of the nerves and excitement they are feeling as they are about to debut. As you can see, even the choreography is designed to tell the story. However, just so you know, we didn't fully understand that was what the MV and song was trying to tell us, until several years later, after we had more context to go on after we had several other MV stories and more information. But that is why we say, if you want to try and follow EXO's story you have to pay attention to everything and you have to remember as much detail as you can about everything you have ever seen and heard from EXO. Because although you might think you understand one piece of EXO's story, with every new release from EXO, we get a little more information, and, sometimes it helps to confirm what we thought to be true and sometimes it turns the whole theory on its head and makes us realize what was happening wasn't what we thought after all. To see their dancing better, if you haven't already, check out the dance practice for "History," the choreography is very unique. They have an EXO-K dance practice and an EXO-M dance practice. And it's one of their few choreographies where the two groups are not combined because they were completely separate groups in these MVs. Baekhyun's dancing is iconic? Only Baekhyun's dancing stands out in this MV? I'm pretty sure they are all dancing together, what makes Baekhyun's dancing any different from any of the rest of the members?
@@regulusk ahhh OK, I guess that makes sense then. They didn't mention that in this reaction, or at least I didn't realize it from their comments, so I was confused why they would be singling out Baekhyun. Thanks for the explanation.
What is love and history both are pre debut song then mama debut song . Every year in Christmas eve baekhyun spend time with EXO-LS. After that he went holiday with his parents.
Related to that iconic Baekhyun live and your comment about why he's not with his family or smthg. For koreans, Christmas is actually a holiday to be with your couple/partner (bcs they have their own family holidays), and that makes it even funnier bcs that's the reason why everyone begins to call Baekhyun a completely loser & bitchless 😂😂 (not in a offensive way tho)
Maybe it's because they all had similar hairstyles back in the day and similar body types (because of starvation) especially Luhan, Sehun, Baekhyun and Suho.

I remember obsessing over this song when it came out

Baekhyun’s dance is iconic because he danced this on Christmas eve(2024) and I think they watched this video because of that.

Apparently, their hands shaking in their pockets was supposed to symbolize the fear and excitement of the mission they were about to undertake.
History is so good for a debut 🔥🔥🔥
"History" is actually the second pre-debut track of EXO's, they didn't officially debut for 2 more months or so with their song "Mama."
Exo started out with 2 pre debut songs (History and What is Love). Mama is their debut song.
kai comes home from the military february 10th 🗣️

I had a really hard time remembering EXO members' names and faces when they just debuted lol
Maybe it's because they all had similar hairstyles back in the day and similar body types (because of starvation) especially Luhan, Sehun, Baekhyun and Suho.
