This Album is GIFT 🎁 for EXO-Ls. LAY was CGI ed in it😭😭. Actually Fans Didnt know LAY will be their in the MV and when LAY showed up Fandom went Crazy and was so Emotional and everyone was soo HAPPY😭♥️
I remember when it came out and boy were all us EXO-L’s so happy about this wonderful gift. I’m so looking forward to 2025 when they will be all back together. Thanks again for your hard work and dedication.
In EXO's "Don't Fight the Feeling" they used green screen during a lot of the MV because Lay was unable to be in Korea to shoot the MV, so he shot all his parts separate in his studio in China and they inserted them into the MV. This MV was released in June 2021 -- during the pandemic -- and it was shot right before Baekhyun and Chanyeol enlisted in the military. (Suho and Chen had already enlisted before this MV was planned, so they were the only members who didn't participate.) There were only 7 members of the 9-member group in this MV. If you watch the behind the scenes shooting video of "Don't Fight the Feeling," ua-cam.com/video/9jLMVuQKd0g/v-deo.html, as well as Lay's behind the scenes shooting video in China, ua-cam.com/video/Xq2WjjW7gZE/v-deo.html, you will see how and why things were done the way they were. This mini album was a special project they did for EXO-Ls because Xiumin and D.O. had just been discharged from the military -- which is one reason why they have a prominent role in the MV -- and Chanyeol and Baekhyun were about to enlist. "Don't Fight the Feeling" is a milestone for fans because this is the first time we have seen Lay "back together" (sort of) with EXO since 2016/2018, because of all the political issues between Korea and China. If you notice, this MV establishes EXO's connection to Planet Exo, with the words EXO Planet strategically placed around the ship. And you also may have noticed L-1485 in several places on the ship because this represents EXO-Ls, 14/08/05 (Aug. 5, 2014) -- 1485 -- is the day EXO's fandom was given the name EXO-L. (Fun fact: Chanyeol also has a real tattoo that says L-1485 because EXO's fans are that important to him. :D) As you saw at the end of the MV, it's thought that EXO are on their spaceship traveling across dimensions. "Don't Fight the Feeling" is also connected to EXO's and SuperM's storyline and it's all part of the SM Culture Universe. If you follow the storylines of all of SM's groups you will see connections can be made with "Don't Fight the Feeling" to EXO's story, as well as several of SM's other groups' MVs, such as SuperM's "100", WayV's "Moonwalk", NCT's "Save", etc. For example, the flag we see in this MV should remind us of the flags we see as the logo during EXO's "Obsession" comeback, as well as the flags we see in EXO's live concert performance of "El Dorado", and the scene with Sehun on the motorcycle should remind us of the scenes with him on the motorcycle in EXO's "Tempo" and "Lightsaber" MVs, etc. The meteors and the explosions, etc. are all part of SM's Universe storyline, as well. We see the planet burning at the end of EXO's "Obsession" MV and you will see everything on fire when you watch Lay's solo "Sheep" Alan Walker Relift version MV. There are also meteor showers happening in several of EXO's concert VCR and MV teaser concept videos, etc. And I think it's even connected to the meteor shower we see happening in WayV's "Moonwalk" MV, etc. And, now, it really looks like it could be connected to what is happening in EXO's new "Let Me In" MV. And I think the blue drink we see Kai drinking has something to do with the blue drink we see EXO drinking in their "Ko Ko Bop" MV. (And now I also think it's connected to the blue drinks we see all the EXO members drinking in their new "Cream Soda" MV.) They use red, white and blue all over in this MV, because they are South Korea's colors. Plus, as mentioned before, red and blue are all part of EXO's storyline. Red in EXO's story represents the Red Force and blue usually represents EXO. Therefore, because we see EXO dressed in blue and black when they are part of the crew of the ship -- similar to the outfits we saw in their "Obsession" MV -- this is most likely an indication that this is EXO. However, when we see them in the group "party scene" this could possibly be X-EXO, EXO's alter ego clones, who were created by the Red Force. We see Lay in red and other members with red on their clothing, so they might be under the Red Forces' control in those scenes, too.
Lay is actually on every song on the album. If I remember correctly, they didn't even drop a Lay teaser until like literally a few days or a week before this came out, so nobody expected him in the video outside of maybe like the Tempo 2 second treatment if at all. For them to not only find a way to CGI him in (keep in mind this was also during the pandemic), but also for him to have actual lines and vocals on the whole album was so surprising to everyone.
This comeback made me so happy at the time. I love that even though Lay couldn't be there physically, you can clearly hear him in every song on the album even if it's mostly adlibs.
Omggg this special album holds special place in my heart 🥹 you guys should react to it there’s only 5 songs in total including DFTF And this album was kinda rushed cuz Xiumin and D.O. just came back from military and then literally after filming this it was time for Baek and Chanyeol to go.
DFTF is so special for exol.. 9 member in one MV and one album. Even Lay present only CGI not same place with other member. But that moment is so special
i am so glad you guys finally reacted to this song as I recommended it before! one of the reasons why I was looking forward to this reaction is to hear Theo's thoughts as I knew he would talk about the production. Just like you, I did think the song was a bit chaotic at the first listen, but you do learn to get used to it as you listen to it more often. and of course, I knew you would also point out the cgi! I also recommend listening to the special album as Lay is involved in all of the songs, unlike Don't Mess Up My Tempo where he was only involved in Tempo Chinese version. thank you guys once again for an amazing exo reaction!!
After i saw Lay onscreen you know how much i Reap and cry 😭 i know all EXO-LS cry too , this album is special to us Lay was apart whole album , in interview he said he couldn't meet the guys because it's was lock down 2021, he said this is gift to OUR EXO-LS . After this album. baekhyun and chanyeol was also preparing their enlist. Thanks for the reaction
I love this song, I feel it was done so fast cause chanyeol went to the military a few days after filming it and baekhyun a few months later, it kinda was SM's last chance before only four members is left
Please listen the B-sides track in this album too ❤ The whole album is masterpiece 🎉 Lay was in the whole album too, we can listen his voice in the whole songs. This album is so heartwarming. Please don't skip every single B-sides track of EXO discorgraphy. For me, their B-sides more mooooreee wonderful than title tracks.
The last video in which Lay appears😞😭. Baekhyun and Chanyeol they’re going to enlisting for Military Service.. strangely both appear together and Sehun has the longest rap 😢
DFTF is my most favorite album, the only thing lacking about it is Suho and Chen's vocals. The fact Don't Fight the Feeling isn't even the best song of this album. Lay being here was the best part of this whole album. ❤
This album is superior to EXIST lol it just has banger after banger which you don't really expect cause of this title track but the songs are top tier.
I don't know for sure but I think they hate it for its lyrics just like wolf, whenever you listen to an exo song and cringe remember they cringed ten times before you did
D.O liked it lol Plus the lyrics also have hidden lore if you watched the EXO vcr trailers cause they are literally racing before getting sucked into another world. Honestly i think its another timeline that actually finished what they were supposed to do lore wise. Its connected to Tempo too.

DFTF was such a precious gift for exols ♡︎
Thanks for the Exo reaction ~
When they released that song we fans didn’t even know that Lay would be there roo 😢❤
