mama is honestly the greatest debut song
MAMA was so damn dramatic, but it fit them due to the world-building that they were doing with the whole EXOplanet concept they were making. History is still my fave of those 3first songs, but MAMA is just so damn iconic because they truly intended it to be from the start, unlike, say, SNSD's Into The New World which ended being iconic over the years for many different reasons. And yes, What Is Love should've been performed more these past years. It's criminally overlooked in their concert repoertoires.
What Is Love is such a flex. Pre-debut and they're already showing us the main vocals of kpop- and the quality of their ballads. Those are usually not my favorites in kpop, but EXO _kills_ them every single time.
Everything about MAMA was epic and dramatic! Most expensive debut in Kpop (I think it still holds that title), and it is legendary. What a way to debut! I totally agree that Kpop is very theatrical! They have stages with props and costumes, they have amazing, powerful vocals, and they gesture and dance so over the top. It's one of the many things I love about the industry!
I would be curious to see how much SuperM's Jopping cost compared to Mama
"What is Love" actually features the 4 main vocalists of EXO, so, in the EXO-K (Korean) version you only hear D.O. and Baekhyun's voices, but when you watch the EXO-M (Mandarin) version you will see Chen and Luhan as the singers. These are the main vocalists from their respective groups. However, in the MV you see most of the members. The rest of the members aren't singing the song, but they are helping to tell a story. This was their first pre-debut MV from 2012, so it is setting up EXO's storyline and it's introducing the members. This MV was EXO's very first MV and it was released about 4 months before EXO's official debut.
If you like their voices in the MV, just wait until you hear "What is Love" performed live in concert. You will be even more blown away. As SM artists, it shouldn't be a surprise that EXO are amazing vocalists. That is just what SM is known for. You literally can't debut under SM Entertainment without having amazing vocals and dance skills. All of SM's artists are amazing singers, even their rappers. SM is known as the vocal powerhouse of the industry. And the company has gained the reputation for putting a huge emphasis on finding and cultivating some of the best vocalists and dancers in the industry.
Now to explain the story in the "What is Love" MV: As you may have noticed, you see an eclipse is happening. The eclipse is what controls EXO's powers and it's where they get their power and strength from. So, that is why you see in most of their MVs that they focus on the moon or show an eclipse taking place, etc. EXO are aliens so staring at an eclipse or the sun doesn't affect them in the same way. After all, they come from Planet Exo, which has two suns. LOL
In the MV for "What Is Love," you see clips from some of their pre-debut teaser videos. All the clips in the MV are special clips that were originally released one at a time on their own to introduce EXO to the world, before the group's official debut. Before EXO debuted SM released 23 teaser videos over a 3 month period and the videos showcased the members and their talents, such as Kai's special dances and Tao's martial arts skills, as well as told a story about EXO who are on a quest to find each other and to find clues to locate the Tree of Life, etc. Kai was the member that was featured in the most teasers -- somewhere around 10 videos. The "What is Love" MV takes clips from those teaser videos and puts them together to make the MV. Months and years later, we have also discovered that the teasers also were teasers to EXO's discography of songs. At the time, when the teasers were released, we had no idea the significance of the songs that you hear in the teasers. But now, over the years, we have discovered that the majority of the songs that were featured in EXO's pre-debut teasers were also meant to be teasers to songs that would be released as some of the main tracks of EXO's albums.
All the teasers are still on SM's UA-cam channel if you want to check them out. If you watch the teasers, you will see how planned out everything EXO is involved in actually is. Most of the songs that they released even years after debut were songs that were teased to in their pre-debut teaser videos even before fans knew who EXO was. That just goes to show you why we say that everything EXO does comes back to their storyline. :D Absolutely everything has been planned out down to the most minute detail for years in advance and for years to come.
However, not all of the songs you hear in the teasers were songs that made it to the albums, or maybe they are songs that haven't been released yet. There are several songs in the teasers that we still don't know. Maybe they are songs that have not been released yet, or maybe they may never exist as a full song. It's another part of EXO's mystery that we are waiting to discover.
So you have to watch both "What is Love" MVs to see the different clips and try and figure out the story it is trying to tell. EXO's MVs may look similar, but in each version there are hidden messages and Easter eggs that SM puts in each MV that tell a little more of the story, even still today. Plus, in the Korean version they highlight the EXO-K members where in the Mandarin version they highlight the EXO-M members. It's a common misconception that just because EXO's 2 MVs look similar on the surface that you don't need to watch both versions, but if you skip the Mandarin version of EXO's MVs -- especially these early MVs when they were still a full group -- I guarantee you are going to miss a key part of their story. Plus, you miss out on hearing the EXO-M members and what the song sounds like in Mandarin.
I wish more people would understand that SM didn't only make a Mandarin version of EXO's songs to appeal to their Chinese audience. EXO-M was very much a part of EXO's storyline and the EXO-M or Mandarin MVs are just as an important part of EXO's storyline as the Korean version. They actually shot two separate MVs for each version, so the parts that look the same were deliberately made to look the same and there are almost always subtle differences in both versions because it is telling the story from a different angle or from the other group's perspective.
Not enough people give EXO-M credit. There is no reason why the EXO-M version of EXO's songs should have about half as many views, and yet they do. I encourage you to take the time to also check out the EXO-M Mandarin version of this song, even if you don't react to it, it will help you to understand EXO a little better.
When I first listening to what is Love, I played it like 24/7 on repeated a WHOLE year, that's how I love their vocals 🤭🤭
In Korean Mama is a term they use to address a leader or king or queen. It's a term of reverence and respect. It's similar to saying "Your majesty." If you watch very many historical Korean dramas you will hear the characters call the royal family, and especially the head of the royal family or leader, "Mama." So, in this song, they are speaking to the leader or deity who sent them to Earth, essentially asking, "Now that I'm here, Your Majesty what should I do? How do I fulfill what you have sent me to do? etc."
To truly understand EXO you need to understand that EXO debuted in 2012 and "Mama" is their debut song. "Mama" is how EXO was introduced to the world and it explains the group's concept. From day one, EXO's concept is that they are aliens from planet EXO and they came to Earth with superpowers to protect the Tree of Life from the Red Forces. Each of the members has a superpower that is unique to them and almost every MV will have at least one if not all of them using their powers.
The symbols you saw represents each of the members and it has to do with each of their powers. For instance, Kai's symbol is a pyramid and it represents teleportation, and Lay's symbol is a unicorn and it represents his power of healing, etc. (In future MVs and other things to do with EXO, when you see things like a pyramid, you know that is a reference to something to do with Kai, etc.) Even the most minute of details in EXO's content has something to do with their origin story and EXO's storyline.
Exo, as in exoskeleton, means "outer," so as a member of EXO they are outside the ordinary.The groups concept comes from the real term exoplanet, which is a term that is used for a planet that is outside our solar system, so their name was chosen to represent the fact that they are stars that are "out of this world" when it comes to their talents. EXO's concept is also connected to real life planetary and solar events so many of EXO's comebacks and new song releases for the main group of EXO are connected to when eclipses and other planetary phenomenons take place. For example, their War album and Power album release and comeback coincided with when we had a solar eclipse, etc. SM Entertainment has all their release dates and concepts planned out for years in advance and it often has something to do with real celestial events that are predicted to take place.
So, as you discovered, the two worlds the narrator is talking about is The EXO-K version of their world and the parallel universe which is EXO-M's version of their world. And the Tree of Life is split in half to represent the two groups -- one half is EXO-K and the other half is EXO-M. They are separate and yet the same and when the tree of life is reunited they will become one once again and restore peace in the universe.
In the EXO-K version of "Mama" the EXO-K members -- Suho, Baekhyun, D.O., Chanyeol, Kai and Sehun -- are using their powers to search for and meet up with the EXO-M members. That is why you see the K members traveling to find the M member. For example, you see Kai using his power of teleportation as he searches for the M members and you see Baekhyun use his power of light and Suho with his power of water, Chanyeol with the power of fire using his Phoenix wings, D.O. with the power of earth and strength and Sehun controlling the wind. Because Xiumin is a member of EXO-M, you see him appear in the mirror because the K members are searching for him and he is being summoned, etc. As the story goes, when EXO arrived on Earth they did not all arrive together. Their story starts out that they were dropped on Earth in different locations all over the world and they have to search for each other and meet up, kind of like in a quest, before they can begin to figure out how to accomplish the tasks they have been sent to Earth to do.
When you see the members all together in their "Mama" MVs they are together because they are still on Planet Exo, where they are still united. But when you see them separated it is when they have all been sent to Earth.They keep flashing back and forth between present moments and recent past moments. So, how I interpret it is that at the end they aren't back together yet, but that is a scene from when they were still on EXO Planet as they are preparing to be sent to Earth. The two worlds the narrator talks about in the introduction could possibly be different dimensions, so you often see parts of their story which could be interpreted as them being in different dimensions or time periods or different moments in history.
If you want to see the EXO-M members and their story and superpowers you need to watch the EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese) version of "Mama" The M version will feature the EXO-M members and they will be the ones singing the main parts of the song. You only see small clips of the M members in the Korean version. But in the Chinese version the story continues, and the EXO-M members are the ones that are highlighted. You have to see both MVs to understand the full story.
Each of the members in EXO-K has a counterpart in EXO-M so part of what you were seeing in these MVs was them showing you which EXO-K member corresponded with which EXO-M member. For example, Suho (EXO-K) with the power of water corresponds with Xiumin (EXO-M) who has the power of frost/ice and Chanyeol (EXO-K) with the power of fire is Kris' (EXO-M) counterpart because he is the power of flight, and as you saw in the EXO-M MV, Chanyeol has the power of the phoenix and Kris has the power of the dragon which both animal spirits have fire elements and flight so they connect; D.O. (EXO-K) with the power of force and Chen (EXO-M) with the power of thunder/lightning; and Sehun (EXO-K) who has the power of wind is connected to Tao (EXO-M) who controls time; Baekhyun (K) with the power of light and Lay (M) with the power of healing; and Kai (K) with teleportation and Luhan (M) with telekinesis; etc. That's how they maintain their bond even as members of separate groups.
Kai does the screamo part in the EXO-K MV. And the tattoos on Kai's face and body say EXO and also all of the EXO members names, or at least the 6 EXO-K members names, as well as EXO's symbol and other hidden clues to EXO's origin story -- go back and study that scene and you will be surprised what Kai's tattoos really say.
Now that you have seen "Mama" and are starting to understand EXO's backstory, as you watch all of their other MVs, it should make more sense to you if you keep in mind all the details about them being aliens with superpowers and how they are on a mission, etc. Plus, you should also know that all of SM's groups' MVs and storylines are connected. aespa's storyline is even connected to EXO's story. As is SuperM, Red Velvet, NCT/WayV, and maybe even some of Taemin's solo content and SHINee's new MVs, as well as maybe even Super Junior's new MV for "House Party." Everything SM does is part of SM's Universe which all started with the creation of EXO and has only become more complex and epic over the years as SM introduces each new group and storyline to the story. And with every new MV or video it introduces another chapter to the story.
Please see part 2 to this comment in the separate comment also in the comment section.
mama is so epic man it gives me chills every time i listen to it
BUT LIKE WOW EXO LITERALLY ARE FREAKIN INSANE TO BE ROOKIES AND SING LIKE THAT DAMNN
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. 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 is 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 came out about 2 months after "What is Love," and about 2 months before "Mama." "History" is the introduction of the storyline and it explains what led up to the events in "Mama."
As you see, in the EXO-K version of "History" you only saw the EXO-K members -- Kai, D.O, Suho, Sehun, Baekhyun and Chanyeol -- singing, and in the middle of the song you see them flash to the EXO-M members -- Lay, Kris, Chen, Luhan, Xiumin and Tao -- however, when 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 different perspective in each version.
To understand the story in their "History" MV this is one time where it is helpful to look up the English translation of the lyrics. 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. 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.
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.
What complicates this even more is the fact that almost nothing in their storyline is in chronological order, so we EXO-Ls have to become detectives and analyze every aspect of everything any of the members are involved in to try and piece it all together and figure out where each part fits within their larger storyline. And I literally mean everything, from their teaser videos, to their MVs, to their song lyrics and live performances, concert VCRs and even some of their choreography, as well as their sub-unit and solo work. Everything EXO does is connected.
To see their dancing better, 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 this MV.
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.
Yes! More EXO! :D
I love all three songs, but 'What is Love' is definitely that hidden gem of a song. ;)
When I first watched Mama last year, it gave me goose bumps! I had it on repeat for weeks...still love it!
What Is Love being pre-debut is the biggest vocal flex ever
Yay. More EXOs are coming. Thank you. I am excited already.
EXO has never let go of their concept/storyline. Until today with Don't Fight the Feeling, they cling into it 😅
There's a lot of confusion and symbolism happening in Tempo, Lucky One, Love shot, Monster, Obseesion and all. And it all comes down to MAMA and HISTORY. 💕
"Mama" is like the first episode of EXO's drama -- it sets up everything to come in the rest of the series. And if you miss any part of the first episode you will forever be lost when it comes to the rest of EXO's story. So, in other words, you HAVE to watch the EXO-M version of "Mama." If you watch both versions of their "Mama" MV, you might be able to understand a little more about EXO's mission and story.
It's important that you pay attention to the introduction story in "Mama" because it is literally setting up EXO's storyline. The narrator is telling you EXO's whole origin story, about how EXO have been split up into two groups EXO-K and EXO-M and they are part of the same group and yet separate -- part of two worlds that come together as one, etc. And he is telling you about how the Tree of Life has been split in half to protect it from falling into the Red Forces' control -- each half of the tree representing one half of EXO (EXO-K and EXO-M) -- and EXO's mission is to find the two halves of the tree and reunite them to restore peace in the world.
You also should look up the lyrics for "Mama." The majority of their chant is in English: "Shoot anonymous, anonymous; Heartless, mindless; No one who care about me ... Careless, careless (Mama: Mama in Korean means Your Majesty); Shoot anonymous, anonymous (Mama); Heartless, mindless (Mama); No one who care about me (Mama)" Also, if you pay attention to what the whole song is talking about and what the lyrics mean it will give you even more insight into why EXO have been sent to Earth and what their mission is all about. In the beginning EXO's Mandarin MVs were subbed in Korean to help them appeal to a Korean audience. When you see English words those are lyrics that are sung in English and the rest of the song is in Mandarin. However, if you look up the English translation to both the Korean and Mandarin versions you will see that the lyrics are slightly different, because the story is being told from different perspectives.
EXO's storyline begins with them being sent to Earth to try and heal the world and to stop and prevent the Red Force from taking over and corrupting everything. And the story in the lyrics of "Mama" foreshadows what they will have to overcome and understand about humans and our world to accomplish their tasks. EXO kind of takes humanity to task and asks us to explain why we would allow all this anger and hatred to cloud everything around us and why we don't love each other more? It's really a very beautiful message and the more you learn about EXO the more interesting the whole thing becomes.
In the song the members, being aliens from another planet, are struggling to understand how we as humans could allow all this evil and bad things to happen all around us, such as war, hate and the destruction of the environment etc. and they are daunted by the fact that they are now tasked with figuring out how to fix it all and prevent more evil from taking place. That's why they need to find the two halves of the Tree of Life and reunite them to restore peace.
Tao is the only one that can flip and jump like that, so he is the one that is always doing it in all of EXO's early MVs. If you watch EXO's 23 pre-debut teaser videos, in at least one of them you will see Tao showcasing his martial arts skills and see that all his moves are 100% real. He can really flip and jump and spin like that and if in a battle he could kick butt. The numerous injuries he sustained from having to do those stunts in MVs and during live performances and on variety shows, etc. is one of the reasons why he left the group. The sword is real and he also often uses a staff.
EXO's story is part supernatural and Sci-Fi and part based on reality, which touches on real life events and things that are really happening in the world. And from the very beginning, even during pre-debut days, and everything since then and everything yet to come, it all is connected to this storyline. Everything EXO does and everything you see from them, including Baekhyun and Kai's parts in SuperM, all has something to do with the concept and story that began with "Mama," and each new installment of something from the members expands a little further on EXO's story. Whether it's an MV from the group, a solo project from one of the members, a sub-unit project, a live performance, teaser videos, concert VCRs, or even a good amount of their choreography, it all has been designed to connect to EXO's storyline.
It's kind of mind blowing the amount of planning and manipulation SM has been doing over the years to connect all the dots and to continue the story. It gets even crazier when you realize how even the most minute of details were crafted to be a hidden message or detail within that storyline.
For example, In EXO's "Overdose" MV they have been lured into and trapped in a maze by the Red Force and they are trying to use their superpowers to figure out a way to escape, but somehow the maze affects their powers and it causes them to lose control and allows the Red Force to capture them. After "Overdose," the story picks up in their "Lucky One" MV where the Red Force has transferred the members from the maze to a hospital-like setting that is supposed to be a government lab facility where the Red Force is now doing experiments on EXO to figure out what makes them special and to find a way to disrupt their connection to the Tree of Life and to prevent them from gaining control, as well as maybe figure out what they need to do to clone them like we see has been done in their "Obsession" MV, etc. In "Lucky One" the members use their powers to overthrow the Red Force and to escape the facility. And that is where the story picks up in their "Ko Ko Bop" MV. in "Ko Ko Bop" EXO are free from the Red Forces' control for the moment and they all act like they are in a drugged state. The Ko Ko Bop drink that Suho mixes and the wafers or pills that the members all take, is supposed to help them detox from the drugs they were given against their will by the Red Force when they were being experimented on. Because they are still a little loopy from the drugs, in "Ko Ko Bop" you see them all playing with their powers without caution.
Unfortunately, to make it even more difficult to understand, each part of the story is not necessarily in chronological order, so we, as EXO-L, have to become detectives and analyze every aspect of everything any of the members are involved in to try and piece it all together and figure out where each part fits within their larger storyline.
To help you pinpoint the powers being used in their MVs and live performances, here is a list of the members and what their special power is.
EXO-K
💦 Suho (Kim JunMyeon) is the leader of the group and he is a lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control water (Fun fact: Suho in Korean means guardian, as in the guardian of EXO. That's why as the leader of EXO, his stage name is Suho)
💡Baekhyun is a main vocalist and his superpower is the ability to control light
🔥Chanyeol is the main rapper and lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control fire and his spirit animal is the phoenix.
🌏D.O. (Do KyungSoo) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control earth (dirt) which gives him strength/force
☄Kai (Kim JongIn) is a main dancer, lead vocalist and sub-rapper and his power is teleportation (Kai means opening as in a door or gateway, so his stage name is meant to symbolize his role in the group.)
🌪Sehun is the youngest member of the group and he is a lead rapper, lead dancer and a vocalist -- his power is the ability to control wind
EXO-M
❄Xiumin (Kim MinSeok) is the oldest member of the group and he is a lead vocalist and lead rapper and his power is the ability to control snow/ice (frost)
🦄 Lay (Zhang Yixing) is the Chinese member of the group, he is a main dancer, lead vocalist and rapper -- his power is the ability to heal anything.
🌩 Chen (Kim JongDae) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control thunder/lightning/electricity
(As you can see, Xiumin and Chen were given stage names that sounded more Chinese so they would fit in better in EXO-M because they are the Korean members of the Chinese group)
The Chinese members that will eventually leave the group, but are important to EXO's storyline:
🐉 Kris was the leader of EXO-M he was a main rapper and vocalist -- his power was the ability to fly and his spirit animal was a dragon (Kris left the group in April 2014.)
💭 Luhan was a main vocalist and his power was telekinesis (The ability to control things with his mind) (Luhan left the group in October 2014.)
⏰Tao (Z.Tao) was a lead rapper and vocalist and the martial artist of the group, so he did the flips and stunts in the group's routines. His power was the ability to control time (Tao ended activities with EXO in August 2015.)
Please see part 1 to this comment in the separate comment also in the comment section.

So much funny Kongrish in SM mv/songs. Who can forget Shindong's "Bite Your Lips, Shut Your Tongue" in Mamacita

What is love , is my first exo song i listen and beakhyun become my ult bias ❤ and EXO become my favorite groep 👈
D.O.'s solo is coming on July 26th!!
Kings of vocals since day mf 1!!!
I do not only love MAMA as a debut because of the music but because of the lyrics. It holds such a strong message for a rookie group and I just love it.
To be verryyyyy honest..... I dont think you need to invest that deeply into the lore.... With sm trying to connect everything together to their smcu, things are quite different now.... And if ever they don't renew their contract with sm, their lore will stop as well. I think its fine to just enjoy their music :) maybe you can understand some parts of the lore, but there's no need to get too attached to it is what I think. Just my opinion.
Please listen to all exo albums 😍
It's a masterpiece ♥
yess exo again!!!!!
I remember watching mama when it came out..I was instantly in love. It was so different from what I was used too. Such a great debut.
yesssss!!!! our boys are back
NO GROUP CAN MAKE A SONG LIKE 'WHAT IS LOVE' WHEN AN NON DETAILED GROUP OTHER THAN EXO.
MAMA legendary debut song
When Mama came out I used to watch it everyday... Like it was soooooooo cool like with all the super powers and stuff also their symbols I was able to draw all of them and their EXO logo too which changed every cb.... I've never seen mv like this so I was so fascinated by it.... And tbh no shade but because of SM debuting their artist with a very well planned concept...when I see group debuting I'm always just like... So what's the concept 😂😂
I love how we're all going on about how young they look in these, and then there's D.O, who literally looks no different.
i wish you can watch the exo-m versions on your own.. it's really good and have a different feel too it. :)
MAMA lyrics hit different
FINAALLY EXO OMG
I highly recommend watching “exo super powers” 🥰
You should check Taemin's version of mama hahaha it's iconic. Ps: Love your reactions.
You should watch their live performances, specially in their concerts :)
Live performances are the way. Please check MAMA + WOLF Exordium in Japan
You should try listening to What is Love EXO-M ver coz Chen slayed that song too 😊
The way Baekhyun was killing while training around only 4 months uhh
The mama intro is hilarious it is long and convoluted but basically all he says is red force bad, Exo split into Exo-M and Exo-K. That's it.🤣
Exo vocal kings
People discovering KPOP nowadays don’t understand the cultural shock those who discovered it with MAMA got 😂😂😂 nowadays songs are more catchy and fun while back then it was something else lmao
I still remember how I felt when I got heard this song for the first time (first KPOP song I ever heard)
Please do check out the lyrics of MAMA on your own if u want bcz those lyrics hits you differently for sure.
Debo confesar que WHAT IS LOVE al escucharla por primera vez me impresiono demasiado. Sin embargo, no puedo explicar la razón, pero, en la versión en Mandarín, al escucharla, me conmovía más y la memorice más rápido Es extraño ¿Cierto? ^-^
these 3 songs were why I liked exo in the first place
That's what I love about NCT 127 as well - it's theater.
I hope you can react to the theories of exo, to understand their concepts and also to understand the storyline
As my bias line also started out in EXO-M I am quite sad that their early MVs can’t really be reacted to easily. Also the pant shaking choreo moments in History always amuses me greatly.
Next wolf MV so that it is conceptualized and understood a little please ;)
Yes baby exo:
Kai ,sehun was 18 yo
Do 19
Baeky ,chanyol 20
Suho 21😍😍😍😍
Kaia about Mama: "I've heard covers of it before"
Me: But have you heard Taemin purposfully butchering it (with fanchants) as payback for Kai making him loose a game by pretending not to know anything about him?
Becuase you don't really know Mama until you've had bit of awesomness :D
I really recommend, that you watch the MAMA MV of EXO M. Its different, it showcase the EXO M powers that completes the whole MAMA MV.
Please also react to the what is love Chinese version with Chen and luhan ❤️
they said they can't because it gets blocked
Exo-M version MAMA please 😭
the chinese version of exo songs get blocked by youtube unfortunately
I’ve seen lots of reviewers doing both EXO-K & EXO-M versions. It’s all SM videos….China has no control over them.
@@cambojoe chinese versions do get blocked more often, i've seen a lot of youtubers talking about it so it's understandable that they decide not to risk it
Chinese-produced content (I.e. EXO-M on Chinese TV) can be blocked for sure….but not SM content.
The fetuses EXO lol
