#smtown #exo #whatislove #korean #kpop #reactions #mv #exol
My favorite group in Kpop! They are vocal kings…and their live performances are superb! EXO fandom are called EXO-Ls….and im one of them. Welcome!❤. More EXO please!
The vocals that they have is insane! It not that they can just sing good but they also hit notes and runs that seem impossible to do. They have fun too. I always got more EXO. They are the group i listen to when i am feeling like i need some R&B
This song was pre debut. This was their introduction to the world of Kpop. The other pre debut song has all the members... History
I can't name a better introduction to be honest. To come out like this everyone and they mamas had to listen
If you haven't seen EXO Killing Voice yet, please react to it.
I did react to it and I think it was copyrighted......... which hurt my soul because it was so good.... Is there a link that i can use not copyrighted ?
They are Baekhyun and D.O., both of whom are the main vocalists (inc. Chen). D.O. is my bias and of course, he's good at going high and low notes, runs, riffs, growl.
He can do it all. He is what i call overpowered aka OP lol. Somebody that just can do anything so effortlessly.
I hope I'm witnessing the making of a new EXO-L.
You know if I am being honest i didnt think about that lol Thanks to you I will listen to more EXO-L. Are they like a sub unit group to EXO or would you mind explaining the different letters to me please. Also, which songs do you recommend by EXO-L?
@@kjreacts7715 EXO-L is the fandom name for EXO. So I was hoping you would listen to more EXO. I recommend their live stages and b-sides.
You should react to D.O. Ft Yoo Young Jin - Tell Me (What Is Love). This song showcased how agile D.O.’s vocal are. Make sure to check out the lyrics video and not the mv that the company released as it was not the full version of the song
The company didnt release the full version of the song is crazyyyy ahahaha. But thank you for that because i be watching the wrong videos sometimes lol.
1:28 bye the subtitles ☠
🤣
SHHH ahahahha AI is trying it's best lol
Although "What is Love" is a love song, the MV really doesn't have a whole lot to do with the song. The storyline in the MV is all about EXO's origin story and it shows the members as they first arrived here on Earth. (The song was mostly meant to showcase EXO's vocal talent and get people to pay attention to the group, etc. However, there are parts of the lyrics that could be loosely interpreted as EXO speaking to humanity.)
This was their very first pre-debut MV -- about 3 or 4 months before their debut with "Mama" -- so it is setting up EXO's storyline and it's showing the members. This was before most people really even knew who EXO were. In the EXO-K (Korean) version you only hear D.O. and Baekhyun singing. (But if you watch the EXO-M (Mandarin) version, you will see Chen and Luhan as the singers.) However, in the MV you see all 12 members. The rest of the members aren't singing the song, but they are helping to tell a story.
If you think D.O.'s and Baekhyun's version was amazing, just imagine what Chen's and Luhan's version is like. It has a slightly different feel because it has a sound and style that is designed to appeal more to a Chinese audience, but it's no less amazing. There's a reason why EXO has 3/4 main vocalists.
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. 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 scenes where you see D.O and Baekhyun singing, that is thought to be showing clues to EXO's storyline, such as the light that is streaming through the holes in the walls is thought to be representing Baekhyun's superpower, which is the ability to control light, and the fact that the room they are in is kind of disheveled could be after D.O. used his power of force.
You also see scenes such as Chanyeol (a member of EXO-K) looking at a drawing of a unicorn and comparing it to a hieroglyph of a unicorn on a piece of rock, which is thought to be something to do with the fact that he is searching for Lay (an EXO-M member). Lay's symbol is a unicorn, which represents his power of healing. I think the rocks are clues that may have been left on Earth or on Planet Exo from ancient times.(You will see these symbols all over the place in EXO content because, as we saw introduced in their "Mama" MVs, each member has a symbol that represents them. Their symbols are often used kind of like a call beacon. When one member is looking for another member, or they want to send a member a message, you will see a version of their symbol appear. It's a way to know who the message is coming from and it's designed to make everyone aware that it's something important that we need to pay attention to.) Think of the message on those rocks like Egyptian hieroglyphs. (In one of EXO's concert VCRs -- videos that are played during their concerts -- we see that SM connects EXO's storyline to ancient Egypt, and they show us that EXO was actually mentioned in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Therefore, the EXO members either traveled back in time or they have been on Earth many times throughout history. As you may know, there are real life theories that the Egyptian pyramids were created by aliens, which is an example of how SM connected EXO's story to real things.)
In the "What Is Love" storyline I think EXO are looking for clues that someone has left from the past. Just like in real life history, often ancient civilizations have left us clues to tell their story in order to make sure whatever happened to them doesn't get repeated. Therefore, I think someone has left EXO clues, just in case sometime in the future the Red Force was able to gain power once again. Hence, why in EXO's next pre-debut song "History" they talk about not wanting to allow whatever happened previously to repeat itself.
And because it is thought that the EXO members can travel between time periods and dimensions, this could also mean that the clues could have possibly been left for them by their future selves. The future EXO members have traveled back in time to leave a message for the present-day EXO members in order to help them figure out how to stop the Red Force and prevent whatever happened in the future from taking place, etc. (Which we have now seen is possible from the events that take place within EXO's new "Let Me In" MV storyline, which was just released a few months ago. Yet another example of how you have to take what you know from the very beginning, and connect it to their most recent piece of the story.)
The clues I think are something they need in order to find the Tree of Life and to do whatever needs to be done in order to create peace in the world once again, and free humanity and EXO from the control of the Red Force. Which will allow the Tree of Life to be whole once again and be at peace, no longer being used as a potential weapon by the Red Force, etc.
In reality, I think the Red Force could be thought of as a symbol of all the things society is dealing with in the world and all the bad things that need to be fixed, such as war, hate, destruction of the environment, greed for money, corruption, etc.
I interpret SM's wide-reaching message within their SM Cultured Universe and EXO's storyline as the dream of world peace. Therefore, I'm not sure we will ever see an official end to EXO's storyline or the SM Culture Universe story because World Peace is such a lofty goal that will never be accomplished fully. So, in other words, EXO's story may be an open ended one that never gets solved.
I think the whole point of SM creating the SM Culture Universe storyline is because it's supposed to be a social commentary on what real life society needs to learn and do in order to create a better world. Think of everything in the SM Universe, and EXO's storyline, as a metaphor for what is happening all around us every day and what we have gone through in the past and will go through in the future if we don't learn from our mistakes, etc.
In the "What Is Love" MV, we see clips from some of EXO's 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 dance clips 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. 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.
D.O caught him offguard in first intro😭😭😭
Agree! No other kpop group comes close to EXO ...they set the bar high! Nice reaction ...
They set it beyond their expectations knowing groups wont reach it
EXO fandom is called EXO-L❤
Why the L and not a W
@@kjreacts7715 because it is exo-k exo-l exo-m, exo-l fills the gap and makes them one
The OG group in kpop. this song is old but slap. And actually this is just their pre-debut song
It's super old and still slapping like this. That is how you know they make great music and as a pre-debut song they knew what they was doing with this one
Tell me what is love by D.O recommended. Rich in runs✋😩
thank you i will because i love runs!
FYI: SM didn't start putting English subs on their MVs until 2018, so unless you happen to watch an MV that says it has been remastered, you won't find English subs on any of SM's MVs that were released before the middle-to-end of 2018. "What is Love was EXO's first pre-debut MV that came out in 2012, so there most definitely is no subs on the video.
When you click on the CC button, pay attention to whether it says "English (Auto generated)" or just "English."
If you click on the CC button and it says "English (Auto generated)," this means these are subs that are designed for the hearing impaired and they only work on videos where they are speaking English. The way auto generated subs work is the computer listens to what is being said in the audio on the video and it attempts to interpret what is being said in English. Therefore, on a video like "What Is Love" where they are speaking in Korean, the computer is trying to find English words that sound like the Korean words that it hears, it's not translating the Korean lyrics into English. That is why the subs look like gibberish.
However, if you were to click on the CC button and it just says "English," this means either the company or a fan has taken the time to translate what they are saying in Korean, or whatever language they are speaking, into English.
Although, if you want to know what the song is about, just look up an English lyric video on UA-cam. There are lyric videos that have been created by fans for pretty much any Kpop song that has ever existed, and you can find videos that translate the song in almost any language a Kpop fan might speak. Therefore, it's not hard to understand what a song is about. Plus, what's cool about lyric videos is they usually are color coded so that you can see who is singing each line of a song, which may help you start to identify each of the members voices and help you to be able to get to know their role in the group even better. That way you will eventually be able to tell who is singing or speaking at any time without even having to see them.
These English subs on this video are not by a fan. One said they are gay. They were not nice subs or anything related to song
@@charlenemorris I never said they were by a fan. What I said WAS, they were "Auto generated," which means they were created by the computer. The computer was trying to come up with English words that sounded like the Korean words they were saying.
However, IF you click on the CC button and it happened to say just ENGLISH then that would mean they were subs added to the video by a fan or the company themselves.
But, because when he clicked on the CC button it said "Auto generated English," this means that the subs were not correct because the computer wasn't translating the Korean into English it was using English words that sounded similar to what the Korean word sounds like. The computer was just trying to find an English word that sounded like what it thought it was hearing them say in English. Which is way the subs at one point used the word "gay" because whatever they said in Korean sounded like the English word gay. The computer really had no idea what they were actually saying.
Try reading my comment again, and see that I explained this whole thing pretty clearly. Nowhere did I say that the subs were fan made.
❤❤❤please react to More Exo Songs like:Tempo,obsession,Monster,Love Shot, Kokobop,Let me in, Electric kiss,Growl, Love me right , Wolf, Lightsaber, Lotto,Cream soda ,Hear me out,Don,t fight the feeling etc.Exo we are one
you sent every song they have ever made and are going to make lol. I will do that for sure. Patience please
What was wrong with subtitles they are not correct.
SM didn't start putting subtitles on their MVs until the end of 2018, so none of the MVs that you watch prior to 2018 will have subtitles. "What is Love" came out in 2012 and it was way before almost anyone in the Kpop industry started putting subs on any of their MVs. If you see subtitles on one of SM's older videos then they are most likely auto generated and not correct. Auto generated English subs only work on videos where they are speaking in English because they are intended for the hearing impaired. Therefore when you use auto generated captions on a video that is not in English all the computer is trying to do is find English words that sound like the Korean words it is hearing, it's not translating the Korean lyrics into English. There are no captions on this MV or any of EXO's MVs for many years.
@milindawilson9175 but someone else posted some subtitles on this post about them being gay & other things at different places in this reaction.
@@charlenemorris I'm pretty sure these subs were "Auto generated," which means the computer was just trying to come up with English words that sounded like the Korean words it was hearing. The reason why you saw the word "gay" was because the computer thought whatever the members said at that moment sounded like the word gay in English.
The computer can't translate Korean into English because auto generated captions only work when they are speaking the same language as the generated subs are set to. If you can read Korean and you turn the auto generated Korean subs on a Korean video you will see that the subs are fairly accurate because it is showing you what they are saying in Korean. If you use auto generated English subs on a video that is in English the captions will be accurate because the computer hears the english words and knows what they are saying.
The only time the CC button captions are correct is when you click on it and it just says "English" because this means someone has actually taken the time to sit down and translate word for word what they are saying in whatever language they are speaking into English.
You have to pay attention to whether it says (Auto generated) or just English when you click on the CC button.
i didnt catch that lol that is crazyyyy. I thought i may of saw that now that i think about it. But yes it is aut generated and AI gets it wrong most of the time. I try my best with the subtitles. Not every song has eng subs so the Auto generated is sometimes my best bet.
I agree but sometimes the auto generated is the only option and sometimes i rather do that than have nothing. What do you think? Also thank you for explaining this! It was super helpful not only for me but others who may have that question as well. Thank you Milinda
D.O's R&B ❤❤❤❤
look i got one coming with him and its insaneeeeeee
