    They did shoot "Growl" MV in one take! If I'm not mistaken, they did the take 14 times until they can get one that is satisfying enough.. Our boys are such hard workers! 😊

    I’m still surprised that Chen isn’t shown in Wolf until practically the end.
    Growl was shot in one take but they did seven takes (full number) and chose the “best” one (even though that’s the one where Kai dropped his hat).

    Finally Caitlyn!! Yes, ONE TAKE! One of my favorite choreos, "Growl" was THAT song when this mv was released. It was so well received around the world, specifically because it was one take, the vocals, and especially the choreo. It made it's mark for a Korean boy band...people around the world got wind of this mv and it spread to so many countries online, people were shook..."WHO IS THIS? WHAT COUNTRY ARE THEY FROM? WHY IS THIS SONG AND CHOREO SO FRICKEN FIRE!🔥
    I saw boy groups from other countries on radio shows watching and getting shook saying "we gotta up our game"...
    Lol...fat chance. It put Exo on the map BIG TIME, and people worldwide paid full attention of Exo...that is the song that made Exo superstars, basically overnight. And "Growl" won Exo "Album of the Year" at the 2013 MAMA'S, unheard of...for debuting in April 2012 to their first invitation to perform at their first MAMA'S! Incredible! They beat out GDragon, Shinee, SuperJunior, well established groups for years...and took the crown. I watched that MAMA'S and their stellar performance the night it was broadcasted on my Korean channel (part of my basic cable line-up, I'm in Hawaii)...my babies won. Bravo guys! And if you haven't yet, you must check out that performance. It is special because OT12 won that award...so all 12 should be very proud. They 'DID THAT' as 12, can't take that memory and event away from them...I was so happy for them!

    Wolf is iconic
    Growl= Kpop's National Anthem

    "Wolf" was EXO's first comeback since their debut promotions and it came out in May 2013 as part of their XOXO album. "Wolf" was another one of EXO's songs that the mainstream public thought SM was making an even bigger mistake with. It was a song and concept that was too unique for most mainstream listeners when it first came out, and most people didn't really like the song or the MV. However, as many have discovered, it's one of those songs that once you listen to it more, it grows on you, and now it has become much more popular.
    So what you see in their "Wolf" MV is that all 12 members come together to form the Tree of Life and in the middle of the song you see how they split up into EXO-K and EXO-M and each group creates their own tree. How I interpenetrate that is they are showing how the tree has now been split in half and each half of the tree represents the two halves of EXO. In the intro to "Mama" they talk about how the Tree of Life has been split in two and each half has been hidden away. It's EXO's job to find the two halves of the Tree of Life and reunite them to restore peace in the world.
    When EXO had 12 members they were both involved in both versions of their MVs. However, the EXO-K members were featured more prominently in the EXO-K versions and they were the ones that sang the main parts of the songs, but if you watch the EXO-M version you will see that the EXO-M members are the ones highlighted in the MV and EXO-M sings the main parts of the song. That is why you need to watch both versions. EXO's slogan is "We are One" which means they are one as a group and one with their fans, so even when they had separate sub-units they were meant to be one group.
    You should also check out the EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese) version of their "Wolf" MV to see what the song sounds like in Mandarin and to discover how the MV is slightly different.
    In "Wolf" the members are also supposed to be a wolf pack So the entire MV and the song is them acting like wolves. The choreography was created to use movements that made them seem like wolves, and the moves, such as them showing their claws and bristling their backs and shaking are all things that wolves do as they compete for power and attention, etc.The wolf comes out of the forest (as he scratches the ground behind the Tree of Life) in the beginning of the MV and he is stalking his prey. Their prey is the girl that, in the song, they are talking about being so obsessed with and in love with that they can't help but act like a wolf and capture her so that no one else can have her, etc.
    I'm not sure how this concept was supposed to fit into EXO's larger storyline, but many feel that after the 3 Chinese members -- Kris, Luhan and Tao -- left the group that the wolf part of the story was completely dropped and it is no longer part of EXO's story. So we just watch it as a fun side story now instead.
    In EXO's songs and MVs it is often thought that the girl that EXO sings about is a manifestation of the heart of the Tree of Life. So, that is why EXO becomes so enamored by her and so possessive and protective of her, etc. Protecting the heart of the Tree of Life -- or "the girl" -- is what EXO has been sent to Earth to do.
    If you look up the lyrics of the song you will see that the lyrics are also about being a wolf. The main point of the song is they are saying, I'm a wolf, I'm a wolf and I love you so fiercely that I am going to capture you and possess you and devour you like the wolf that I am.
    If you are impressed with their vocals in the MV, just wait until you see the live concert remix performance of the song. You will be even more blown away when you hear what they can do live.
    "Wolf" and "Growl" are partner songs. "Growl" was the follow up song to "Wolf. ""Growl" was the lead track on the XOXO repackaged album which came out in August 2013. So, now that you have heard both "Wolf" and 'Growl," you should check out EXO's "Growl"/"Wolf" Drama video. The drama version combines their two songs "Growl" and "Wolf" and it's like a mini K-drama that is more like a movie or TV show with a complete story and the members playing characters. Here is a link to the full "Growl"/"Wolf" drama version ua-cam.com/video/sFCvZUSnuus/v-deo.html. It's less then 10 minutes long, but it tells an interesting story.
    It also might help to explain more of the story in their "Wolf" MV, however, as I said, I'm not sure the story goes any further than being mostly just a fun side story now. in EXO's history of MVs.

    As you discovered, the performance version of EXO's "Growl" is a one take video, which means that it was shot all in one take without any cuts or edits. However, although it is a one take video, this does not mean they used the very first take, it just means that every time anyone made a mistake they had to start all over again from the very beginning. While filming the one take MV they had to dance the choreography about 7 times and this was the take the director and producer decided to use. They actually danced this choreography until they physically could not do it anymore. But, if you notice, not even this take was technically "perfect" because Kai drops the hat in the middle of the dance in the Korean version and he smoothly bends down and picks it up. He needed the hat at the end. But because it was done so effortlessly that most people don't even notice the mistake, or assume it's just part of the choreography, they decided to use this footage anyway.
    And when you watch the Mandarin version, if you look closely, you will see Suho steps on Sehun's foot. :D.
    In the beginning of the performance MV you start out by seeing 6 of the members and as the camera spins around you see the other 6 members -- There are 6 members that make up EXO-K and 6 members that make up EXO-M and when they come together they are 12 that make up one group as EXO. In the Korean version, you see the EXO-K (Korean) members featured first in the two groups. and if you watch the EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese) version, you will see the EXO-M members featured more prominently.
    That's why it's worth watching both versions, because, as you will discover, there is far more than just the languages that are different. ;D
    However, what is even more impressive about "Growl", is the fact that they filmed 4 versions of the "Growl" MV, so not only did they have to perfect the dance in the Korean performance version, but they also had to do it again in the Mandarin version and then again in both the traditional story-based 2nd MV versions. And it wasn't like they could use the same footage because the Korean and Mandarin versions aren't exactly the same -- the EXO-M and EXO-K members had different parts in each of the MVs -- so that just adds another element to this.
    EXO actually filmed 5 different videos for the song "Growl." There is still one more video that was released as part of their "Wolf" and "Growl" promotions. It's a drama version that combines their two songs "Growl" and "Wolf" and it's like a mini K-drama that is more like a movie or TV show with a complete story and the members playing characters. Here is a link to the full "Growl" and "Wolf" drama version ua-cam.com/video/sFCvZUSnuus/v-deo.html. Plus, there are several iconic live performances of "Growl" as well.

    If you notice, the camera movements are actually part of the choreography, because the camera is another character in the performance. The camera is supposed to represent the girl that they are singing to. So that is why they are looking at the camera so intensely because they are trying to get the girl's attention. They are each trying to impress her with their moves.
    If you look up the lyrics for "Growl," you will see they are pretty much acting like a wolf or beast, that can no longer control themselves around the girl and they are warning her to be careful because all she does is make them want to growl and grab her and possess her, etc. "I’m warning you just in case (listen carefully)
    It’s dangerous now (so dangerous) Stop provoking me (there’s going to be trouble) I don’t even know myself ... My breath keeps on stopping You walk towards me You smile at me Maybe you’re attracted to me too .... A dark shadow has woken up inside of me Sparks fly in my eyes as I look at you
    Everyone step away from her (step away) It’s going to get fierce from now on I’m growling, growling, growling I’m growling, growling, growling I’m growling, growling, growling If you don’t back away then I don’t care if you get hurt ..." etc.
    Some say the "girl" that EXO is always singing about and you sometimes see in their MVs is a manifestation of the heart of the Tree of Life and that is why the members are always rescuing or protecting the girl, etc. And why all their songs are about being in love with a girl or being controlled by the power of the girl, such as in "Overdose" for example. Or how they talk about knowing they are bad news for the girl but they want her anyway and they can't help it, but in the end they know they might destroy her -- as they say in "Monster," etc. etc. When you think of the girl as the heart of the Tree of Life the mystery begins to unfold even more.

    EXO got so good at this choreography that they were able to perform the whole thing live on award shows and music programs just like they did in the MV while singing live as well. You should check out their Beauty and Beast performance at the 2013 MAMA Awards to see how impressive they perform "Growl" live. ua-cam.com/video/ycql_T6Fc9c/v-deo.html
    "Growl" and this one take performance is what launched EXO into super stardom and it's what made them the most popular group in Korea. It's one of the reasons why the government has given EXO the title of Korea's national Idols.
    However, "Growl" came out in 2013 about a year after EXO debuted, and up until that point EXO weren't very well known or popular. When they first debuted, many people called them "SM's biggest mistake." Because the concept of them being aliens from Planet Exo and the fact that they were designed specifically to debut in both Korea and China and several foreign Chinese members were chosen specifically to make up their own sub-unit, etc. many people had a hard time understanding how EXO would ever be successful. The group started out being branded as SM's first failure, and they thought Lee SooMan (the founder of SM) was crazy for coming up with the group.
    But when the one take video for "Growl" was released, everyone began to take notice. This video was pretty groundbreaking, no group had done a one take video quite like this and it proved to the mainstream audiences that SM really did know what they were doing. Now everyone in Korea and around the world knows EXO and they have become one of the most popular groups that are one of the biggest money-makers for SM. "Growl" has become what they are most known for. EXO even performed this song at the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in 2018.
