@KPEEZ This was in 2016.. how is it almost 7 years already😭😭 I do have a few low quality fancams from this tour on my channel. I went to watch them live in Seoul and Taipei!
@@kpeez Exo will cb with full album and major possibility of world tour and yesterday Korean media reported that Baekhyun has officially discharge from military service.
@@kpeez yeah nothing is certain but this would be the year to do it as Kai and Sehun have to enlist soon. They have a window of opportunity for a full ot9 comeback and I really hope SM will do it right!
As you can see, The concert version of "Wolf" is the remix version, so only the beginning and end of this performance is what you see and hear in the" MV -- the middle part, where it slows down, is new. Often, the performance and choreography for their songs in concert is different than the original because they put a different twist on it every time they perform it. Yes, the moving siluet you saw them create in their "Wolf" performance is supposed to represent the Tree of Life, which is a visual connection between the storyline in "Mama" and the story in "Wolf." If you remember, in the MV for "Wolf" you see they created two separate trees (or one tree that is split in two) because the MV is when they still have 12 members. EXO-K (Korean) was one half of the tree and EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese) was the other half. However, as you saw in the concert performance, they don't split up into the two separate trees any more because now there are only 9 members. After the 3 Chinese members left, they now do everything together, so there is only one tree. This concert was in 2016 and Kris, Luhan and Tao left in 2014/2015. In "Wolf" the members are supposed to be a wolf pack. So all the choreography and the song is about 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) 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. 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. 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 left the group that the wolf part of the story was completely dropped and it is no longer part of EXO's story. However, other elements are still part of EXO's storyline. How I interpret the part where Kai Xs out the tree, is that EXO are searching for the Tree of Life and Kai has eliminated that tree from their search. It's not the tree they want, so they get rid of it. As you may remember, in the intro to their debut "Mama" MVs, which sets up EXO's whole storyline and explains the group's concept, the narrator talks 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. So in their live performance, that is what they are doing. They are searching for the real Tree of Life. The shadows that they dance with also could have something to do with their X-EXO clones, which was later introduced in their "Obsession" MV in 2019. If there shadows are X-EXO, this could explain why we see them fighting with, and eventually eliminating, their other selves. Therefore, in this performance this could be a foreshadowing of events in their storyline that only begins to make sense as the story evolves and SM reveals more details in the future, etc. Which is why we say, if you want to really follow EXO's storyline you have to pay attention to everything EXO does and you have to try and remember everything you have ever seen and heard from them, because the story may not make sense at the moment, but it could be important in the future to help explain something else that is happening in EXO's storyline. And, at the end, I don't necessarily think Kai is breathing heavy because he is tired. I actually think he is still in character. He has that brooding expression on his face and he is breathing heavy because he is acting like a wolf. Although I am sure the members are tired after that performances, you would be surprised how well they are able to recover. In reality, if you saw them interacting with the audience right after that performance you would probably be surprised at how they don't look or sound out of breath or tired. They have trained their whole career by doing cardio exercises while singing at the same time, in order to build endurance and stamina, so they are able to sing live while dancing this intently and not use up their energy. It's no surprise that you are impressed by everyone's vocals and dancing because, as SM artists, that is just something the company is known for. As you know, SM is considered the vocal powerhouse of the industry. You literally can't be an SM artist without having amazing vocals and dance skills, even SM's rappers get intense vocal training, so all of SM's artists are some of the best singers in the industry. And EXO are the perfect example of that. Just imagine, that was only one song from a 3 song set, in a concert where they performed somewhere around 20 to 30 songs. So, if you think that performance was amazing, keep in mind, after this they only took about a 5 minute break to get ready for the next set of songs and change outfits, etc. What Baekhyun screams in the middle of "Wolf " is "Tokyo Dome," which is where this EXO PLANET #3 - The EXO'rDIUM(dot) in Japan world tour concert is being held. The Tokyo Dome is one of the largest concert venues in Japan, which holds 55,000 people, and there is an unwritten rule that in order to get permission to hold an event there you have to be able to fill it to capacity. EXO are such big-name artists that they have no problem selling out within seconds of tickets going on sale -- they literally hold the record for selling out concerts in 0.2 seconds -- and they usually have to have multiple day events in order to accommodate the number of fans who want to attend.
@@kpeez You and everyone on the planet I am sure. I bet it will be a feeding frenzy to get tickets if it happens because it's been so long since they have been all together and it's the first time they are able to do a live show since the pandemic, etc. Everyone's been waiting so long. Plus, Kai and Sehun will be enlisting soon, so it may be the last time we see them together again for a while.
Wow, their stage production was amazing. Those backgrounds...I just have no words. Bring this up tomorrow when you call so I can remember to tell you something. I also need to send you a link for a mix on this.
Me encantó tu reacción, es asombroso como esta presentación me convirtió en ExoL durante la pandemia, y me sigue encantando aún después de verla 100 veces! 👌🏻❤️
Hard to rank their "best" because they're all so good but this is up at the top.
Haha so hard!! I feel like every single one I watch becomes my new favorite!
This is one of my favourite live performances of theirs till date. Very blessed to have attended this tour and catch this mesmerising stage in person🥹
Oh my goodness I can't even imagine!! That's amazing!! Do you remember what year this was?
@KPEEZ This was in 2016.. how is it almost 7 years already😭😭 I do have a few low quality fancams from this tour on my channel. I went to watch them live in Seoul and Taipei!
Oh man, that’s so cool! I’m hoping a 2023 world tour happens!!
@KPEEZ I saw news that they will be touring!! Hoping that it'll be an extensive world tour this time🙏🏻
Me too!!!
Finally a youtuber that doesn’t constantly pause the video at good moments
One of the best performances ever!! I can’t wait to see them live!
Yes!! Is 2023 world tour really happening??

Thanks for all the info!! I wonder how fast tickets will disappear this year if they do a tour 🤔 Hope I can get some!!
