2024 EXO FAN MEETING B-Side Medley. Just in case you’re wondering if EXO can sing this good live. (Spoiler: Yes)

UPP
UPPP
Exo are considered "The Vocal Kings of Kpop". They are, more than anything, singers. Not rappers, not dancers...singers. Of course, they do have main dancers and rappers in the group, but they are all singers...vocalists in their own right. Each of the current 9 members are vocalists, each with their own style and sound, very different from each other, but when combined have that signature Exo sound.
They have an 11 year discography, and have been a major success in kpop since 2011. They have toured the world and back, including the States, which has garnered them a massive worldwide fanbase....to everyone, as a fan, it doesn't matter whether or not they are singing in Korean, it's the vocals that people fall in love with.
Exo are singers with every style of genre under their belt...you never know what type of sound you will be getting next with Exo, and that's even within their albums....
They are primarily r&b, with an old school, retro style that no other kpop group does anymore....easy listening, mellowed music that showcases their amazing vocals...and their harmonies are unmatched.
They sing love songs of yearning, love lost, waiting for love...and even songs of being hurt and being angry about it. ..but never to the extreme of being crude or tasteless...Exo are seasoned performers, and one of, if not thee, most popular male kpop groups of all time, especially in the last 10 years. They are a very successful pop group, and have been very influential and instrumental in the sound of kpop for the past decade. They are considered legendary, and have made their mark on the Kpop industry early in their careers as youngsters, as they are all in their early 30's today. And why?...the vocals.
Their vocals have captured the kpop industry by storm in 2012, and they have even expanded to 2 sub-units, ExoSC - the 2 main rappers of the group (where they sing and rap-sing together), and ExoCBX, 3 vocalists of the group...both with their own albums, aside from Exo group music...and members of Exo even have individual solo music and albums that display each style of the members, vastly different from each other, but worthy of a listen.
Exo also have incredible ballads, utilizing those vocals, and those harmonies.
Please continue your Exo discovery. If you like fast rap or fast dance like the younger kpop groups of today trends, or that shock value in lyrics, wardrobe and dance...Exo are not for you.
If you like vocals....Exo are the epitome of musicality and sound. Distinct talent that branches out into songwriting and producing with some members...with a few musicians in the group as well.
So singers = EXO......
Maybe you could check out their very first, pre-debut song "WHAT IS LOVE", which features Baekhyun (Bake- yun) and D.O., from 2011...and their song "OBSESSION" from 2019....both mvs are available online.
Their debut song "MAMA" from 2012, rocked the kpop bubble....MAMA means "your Majesty" in Korean, and the mv is a story of their concept of being aliens from another planet, who come to Earth to help humans and protect life...but they plead to MAMA that this world has no love and kill and destroy each other, therefore they feel useless to help...
...even though they each have a superpower vital to the balance of the Universe...The Red Force (the evils of the Universe) want to covet these powers to use for evil, and are the cause of all the turmoil and destruction on our planet.
Therefore the legends (Exo members/powers) are always fleeing the Red Force, yet trying to protect life on this seemingly loveless world.
Sound crazy? Yep, it was way back then.
But as of today, being grown up, they have considerably downplayed the concept that intrigued the kpop industry in 2011, but the storyline is always part of their music, but I gave up theory-searching years ago.
I am here for the vocals. Exo fans go to Exo concerts to "hear" them sing...not dance or rap....to listen to the music.
I hope you can do the same.
💙🌺.
Everything you wrote, I second it.
if you want a snippet of their discography, try checking out the Killing Voice episode. it's a medley of some of their hits. there's also EXO b-sides medley during their 2024 fan meeting. for music videos, MAMA is their debut mv. it has their lore and a good intro to the group. next would be Obsession, Love Shot, Call Me Baby, Love Me Right, Overdose, Creamsoda, Ko Ko Bop
they also have amazing slow/ballads:
Miracles in December, For Life, Sing For You, Universe, Cosmic Railway, Don't Go
i hope you get to check out their live/concert performances too.
Up!

EXO Dingo Killing voice ❤
I see kings EXO - I click
❤
Super proud of my ult group exo. Even the views saying everything tgho. Exo forever❤ exols forever ❤❤
Same!!!
Plz react to EXO killing voice ASAP 🔥🔥
I don’t rank EXO songs. I just love their work. That’s all.
Killing Voice. They stand at mics and sing a medley of their songs. It’s a great way to hear individual voices. Also, there are at least two acapella performances, where they take a break and sit and sing! There’s a live performance at a concert that is a must! I believe it is in Tokyo They perform Diamond, Coming Over, and Wolf. I think. Someone can correct me where I’m wrong. It’s a masterpiece.
Exo vocal kings. Also try Creme Soda, Obsession, Love Shot or Exo Killing Voice where you will hear a bit from many different songs.
EXO VOCAL KINGS❤👑
OBSESSION next please😊
EXO are known as the Vocal Kings
some people were asking why EXO are the kings of vocals in Kpop so EXO released this and its like " THIS IS WHY "
I enjoy watching people discovering EXO... our talented members! Not without reason they are called the emperors of K-pop
Exooooooooo live please
Next: EXO killing voice
Tempo is THE one of a kind song from EXO and kpop groups in general. No other group has done something like this, because no other group holds that much vocal power. Its in my Top5 of EXO songs and my second favorite title track after Call me Baby.
They are are an amazing group with a huge diverse discography. Must watch their live performances! Please react to their Dingo Killing Voice..see them sing live!
Tempo is so vibey~
I would love for you to check out Angel, Let Me In, or Baby Don’t Cry
EXO is beautiful ❤❤👑👑
You should do Exo's Black pearl, Growl, Wolf and Mama. Least are some of their older songs.
EXO's 'Tempo' MV is great.
Since you have already checked out Tempo and Monster I would love for you to check out either Let Me In or Obsession to get an idea of their range and versatility.
Con EXO mas de 100 son mi número 1, pero en especial tempo😊, monster, koko bop, overdose, mamá, ehat is love, universe, her me out etc..😂😂😂
Such a banger !! Absolutely love these young men,😊
Love from America 🇺🇸. Ty for sharing your journey through K-POP , glad you enjoyed this mv.
Wow the Vocal kings of kpop are here. EXO they are the best in harmonizing, adlibs , runs and riffs , their music includes RnB mostly all songs.
Just simple, I see EXO I click
The song is called "Tempo" and the album is named Don't Mess Up My Tempo, so, the tempo is intentionally a prominent part of the song. I think the tempo is also supposed to mirror the uncertainty and unsteadiness that EXO are feeling within the storyline in the MV and be the driving force spurring them on in the story.
However, if you read the lyrics, you see that in the song they are talking to a girl and they are telling her, "Don't mess up my tempo." And yes, part of the tempo in the song is created by the squeak of what is thought to be bed springs. (The underlying theme of the song is a tongue and cheek reference to sexual innuendo.) On the surface, the song and MV is meant to be enjoyed by the casual watcher and listener like you would any song on the radio, but if you want to delve in deeper and explore EXO's storyline, then there is so much more going on.
As an SM Entertainment group, it shouldn't be a surprise that EXO are amazing vocalists -- hence the acapella part in the song. SM is known as the vocal powerhouse, so all of SM's artists are outstanding vocalists. Fun fact: There wasn't supposed to be an acapella section in the song. The members were just messing around in the recording studio riffing with each other and the sound engineer loved it so much that they decided to put it in the song. EXO are known as the "Vocal Kings of Kpop" for a reason.
"Tempo" came out in 2018, so there are 9 members in this MV. (Only 8 members are in the group scenes.) This is special because it's the first time we have seen Lay, EXO's Chinese member, participate in anything with EXO since 2016 and you won't see him again in another EXO project until their "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV in 2021. However, although Lay was in this MV, you won't see or hear him sing or dance because you watched the Korean version, and at this time, because of the political issues between China and Korea, the Chinese government only gave him permission to appear in the Korean version, but he wasn't allowed to participate in the song. If you want to hear Lay sing you will have to watch the Mandarin version.
To understand the choices being made in this song and the story in the MV, you have to be aware that everything EXO is involved in, and I literally mean almost everything, is connected in some way to their concept and storyline. EXO's MVs are kind of like a movie -- it's a movie that has been going on for the past 12+ years -- since pre-debut -- and it has no sign of coming to an end any time soon.
EXO debuted in 2012 and from day one, the group'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 evil Red Forces. As otherworldly beings, each of the members has a superpower that is unique to them.
The aesthetic of the "Tempo" MV is centered around the color red because the setting is supposed to be depicting the members under the Red Forces' control. What fan theories think is happening in "Tempo" is it's showing the members of EXO all trapped in separate dimensions. Each of those rooms, could possibly be a different dimension and that is why you see the glitches and why you hear Xiumin and Baekhyun with that computerized voice, because they aren't all in the same place at the same time, so their voices are being distorted as they try to connect between dimensions, etc. (Which could also explain Xiumin's hair.)
They also still could be trapped in different rooms within the maze, like what we see them in their "Overdose" MVs. For several of EXO's MVs we believe they are still trapped within the maze and they are continuously trying to find their way out. The maze seems to affect their connection to their powers and it clouds their minds and dulls their senses, so not only are they fighting the Red Force and X-EXO, but they are also struggling to break free from the fog the Red Force has them in. That's why we see some of the members just lazily sitting around and kind of blankly staring off into space at times.
Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in the MV and he is the one standing above everything looking down, so this is one example of where we think that maybe he is the only one who has avoided the Red Force's control and he is observing everything that is going on from the outside.
We see Chanyeol (one of the main rappers) being interrogated by Chen with the inkblot test and that is thought to be the members trying to figure out who are the real EXO members and who are the evil X-EXO members created by the Red Force -- or who are the real members and who are the clones. At this point everyone is suspicious of each other and no one can be trusted.
Also notice how the inkblot looks like it's shaped like a butterfly. The butterfly is also an important part of SM's Culture Universe storyline. We see a butterfly in EXO's debut "Mama" MVs in 2012, which is thought to be connected to the colorful butterfly that is Ningnig's symbol in aespa's story, so you will see it all the time in aespa's MVs starting in 2020 as she navigates through the digital world. You also will see a butterfly appear in several of SM's other groups' MVs, which is often used as a metaphor to represent a woman -- possibly representing a connection to the heart of the Tree of Life from EXO's storyline -- in each of the MVs, as a way to connect all of SM's storylines together. For example, there is also a white butterfly in NCT-127's "Favorite (Vampire)" MV from 2021, which is meant to represent the "vampire" woman that they are singing about, and it's even thought it could be connected to the white butterfly in SHINee's "Ring Ding Dong" MV from 2009. It also could be the white butterfly that helps aespa navigate through Kwangya in aespa's "aespa ep. 2 'Next Level' - SM Culture Universe" video in 2022, which would explain why we see a similar butterfly in all of SM's storylines. The butterfly appears to help everyone as they travel through Kwangya. (Everything SM does has to do with Kwangya -- even SM's new building where everything is created and produced is called Kwangya. Kwangya is the metaverse that all of SM's groups' and artists' concepts, and most of their MV storylines revolve around.)
Therefore, the butterfly inkblot could be used as a way to try and break the control the Red Force has over EXO and to remind them of the fact that they need to find their way out of the maze and to not forget what their mission is, etc.
Halfway through the MV Chanyeol's eyes and hair change color, so some think that this is either showing two different versions of Chanyeol who appear in two different time periods or dimensions, or one is Chanyeol the EXO member and one is Chanyeol the X-EXO clone. Often, when you see a character in one of SM's MVs with blue eyes or different eye colors this usually means they are not who they appear to be.
The silhouettes we see behind the lighted white wall or box also could be connected to the silhouettes you will see when you watch EXO's live remixed version of their song "Wolf" in concert. The silhouettes could represent the fact that EXO are battling with X-EXO for control. (And, now, it also could be connected to the silhouettes we see behind the white wall in SHINee's new "Hard" MV.)
The "Chess game" is thought to be supernatural EXO chess, and I don't think it's a game they are playing, but I think maybe it's something they are using to try to decipher a clue or figure out a way out of wherever the Red Force has them trapped at the moment. It's unclear right now what that scene is really telling us, but I have a feeling, things will become clearer in the future as more of EXO's storyline is unveiled in future MVs and as SM's SM Culture Universe storyline continues to evolve.
At one point we see them take those "chess" pieces and put them together to form a larger cube shape, which is thought could possibly be a model of the maze in which they are trapped in. And I think this also may be connected to the cube/labyrinth maze we see floating in the air in WayV's "Love Talk" MV in 2019 and the similar cube we see blocking aespa's way as they travel through Kwangya in aespa's ep. 2 video. And I think it might even be connected to the cubes we see in the sky in Kai's solo "Mmmh" MV in 2020, as well as the labyrinth cube we see SHINee's Key standing on top of in his solo "Gasoline" MV in 2022. (Baekhyun and Kai from EXO, Taemin from SHINee, Taeyong and Mark from NCT, Ten from WayV and Lucas who is a former member of WayV, are all members of the Kpop supergroup SuperM, which I think is why SM is creating connections between all of their groups' storylines, because it's all part of the same story. Plus, everything aespa does is connected to the SM Culture Universe.)
In SuperM's "One (Monster & Infinity)" MV, we see the members using a map to navigate through what is thought could be the maze that the EXO members are trapped in, as SuperM is coming to rescue EXO from the Red Force's control. And it could even have something to do with the fact that we see in SHINee's teaser video for their Hard album, that they are also trying to solve a maze, which -- because Taemin is a member of SuperM -- could possibly be SHINee trying to help EXO as well.
We also see EXO's Sehun (EXO's other main rapper) on the motorcycle in "Tempo", which I now think is connected to the scene where we see him driving a motorcycle in EXO's "Lightsaber" MV and sitting on the motorcycle in their "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV.
In the very last scene in "Tempo", that is Baekhyun with that glass cube. I am not sure what that means, but I am sure it's foreshadowing something to come in the future with EXO's storyline, and it probably has something to do with the fact that Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in most of EXO's story. (We also see Chanyeol with a glass cube, similar to the one Baekhyun has, in their "Love Shot" MV.)
Wow! I hope you have this copied! It’s an excellent summary and worth posting for any new reactor or new EXOL.
exo is king of kpop
Literally stopped what I was doing to watch this as soon as I saw it. I'm so so so glad you're reacting to more EXO!! This song especially, it's so good to see the Vocal Kings 😊
Few things make me smile more than seeing reactors' faces when it gets to the acapella section. Seriously, grinning ear to ear.

React killing voice exo pleasee
❤EXO is forever my ult group ❤as they are the ones who got me into kpop. Then I quickly also fell in love with SKZ & Ateez (in that order). I love them all for different reasons but folks seriously aren't joking when they tell you EXO are the "Vocal Kings" (almost every member of this group is also a soloist). They are also another group who are even better live. They have a completely different vibe (to SKZ for instance) - but if you love vocals EXO are amazing.
Recommendations - Monster, Obsession, Love Shot, Call Me Baby, Love Me Right, Overdose, Creamsoda, Ko Ko Bop, Lotto, Electric Kiss
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
