Hi Friends 🥰 The comments on the last video were pretty clear on that you wanted me to check out MAMA next, so here you go ✨ I just wanna quickly bring up what I mentioned in the end of today's video again: I've really started getting into EXO after the first video and I want to continue checking them out, but I don't want my channel to become a pure "reaction channel", because my goal with it has always been for it to be outlet for my creativity and "self-fulfillment", if you will, and share some of my life with the world. So please don't be disappointed or annoyed if I post a video with a different topic again here and there, inbetween the different EXO reactions - I plan on continuing with them until I have a better understanding of EXO and maybe even become an EXO-L myself, but I also want to keep working on the videos that I had planned for this summer. So as unrelated as this sounds - you'll probably see a fashion haul on my channel soon-ish, because I'd been planning on doing that for a while and the clothes have basically been sitting here waiting ever since "EXO happened" and I fell into this rabbit hole, when I initially just quickly wanted to check them out 😅🙈
Actually Exo has another hidden concept that not many people talk about which is that they came down to Earth to help us learn to love again and not be greedy and materialistic which is shown in these lyrics. I love the message with it. They even apply it to real life by telling us online not to buy their albums that we should instead eat well or buy warm clothing and spend time with people. At concerts they want us to love each other and become close during the event and even now they have mentioned that now they aren’t worried about awards anymore (though they have many) and they just want to focus on what they love to do and just have fun. And even though they have the money they donate it or still have broken phones, etc. Don’t worry about the crop top hate comments even Kai said he hated wearing them due to him being shy and uncomfortable off stage. And yes the members in this song are communicating with each other which you can see in the mv (Suho wiping away water and another face shows up) The intro was super cute and kudos to all your hard work!❤️👍🏻
That is not actually a hidden concept, it goes along with, them having super power to battle the evilness of the Red Force to bring back love, respect, to stop war and discrimantion and bring unity among all creatures in this planet earth that the evil force has created and instilled in our hearts and minds. And it is so true that EXO always cared for their fans that they always tell us not to buy so many of their albums and instead buy things for ourself and not worry and cared about the awards. What is important to them is to create music that we will love and will make us happy and for them to be an inspiration to strive hard in life, that is what they tell us in all fan meetings, events and concerts. Also, there are 2 songs they released, a pre-debut song, History and What is Love, it will be highly appreciated if you could also react to these too. Thanks.
Angel_firelight Sy yeah I worded it wrong what I meant was that not many people talk about it, not that it was hidden, they only talk about the powers and new fans don’t know.
I am really laughing so hard watching non fans watching MAMA because their expression said it all like "WHAT JUST HAPPENED? WHAT DID I WATCH? I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY!" lmao hahaha, this is always the culture mv for new people. Its understandable because when I watch it first time, I am just speechless and did not know what to say lol hahaha

This is the intro "When the skies and the grounds were one, the legends, through their twelve forces, nurtured the tree of life. An eye of red force created the evil, which coveted the heart of tree of life and the heart slowly grew dry. With tend and engrace for heart of tree of life, the legends hereby divide the tree in half and hide each side. Hence, time is over-turned and space turns a skew.The 12 forces divide into 2 and create two suns that look alike into two worlds that seem alike. The legends travel apart. The legends shall now see the same sky but shall stand on different grounds, shall stand on the same ground, but shall see different skies. The day the grounds be kept a single file before one sky in two worlds that seem alike, the legends will greet each other. The day the red force is purified, and the twelve forces reunite into one perfect root, a new world shall open up"
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. "Mama" is how EXO was introduced to the world and it explains the group's concept. So to really understand EXO you need to start from the very beginning and watch BOTH of their "Mama" MVs. From day one, EXO's concept is that they are aliens from planet EXO and they came to Earth with superpowers on a mission to protect the Tree of Life from the Red Forces (There is only one force which is red). 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. Now that you have seen the EXO-K version of "Mama" you really need to watch the EXO-M version. it's important you know EXO's story and really pay attention to the narrator's introduction in the beginning of this MV to understand everything that happens from now on in all the rest of EXO's MVs. 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 all has something to do with real celestial events that are predicted to take place. In order to really understand EXO you need to understand that In the beginning there was 12 members and they were split up into 2 groups EXO-K and EXO-M. EXO-K sang and performed their songs in Korean and EXO-M sang and performed those same songs in Mandarin Chinese. EXO-K had 6 Korean members and EXO-M had 4 Chinese members and 2 Korean members. So to really understand their full origin story you have to watch BOTH the K and the M version of "Mama." It's more than just two different languages, each group has a very specific role within EXO's storyline. However, since then 3 of the 4 Chinese members have left the group (short answer to focus on their solo work back in China) but there is still one Chinese member left, Lay. (Any performances or MVs you watch that took place prior to May 2014 you will see all 12 of the members. Kris and Luhan left in 2014 and Tao left in 2015.) However, now -- because they no longer have enough Chinese members -- they no longer do separate promotions, but they still produce almost all of their main track songs in both Korean and Mandarin they just now promote all as one big group EXO with 9 members. So, not only does EXO have amazing MVs, but it's almost always double because most of the time when they have a Korean version they also will have a Mandarin version, so it means they have to shoot two separate videos.Their fandom name is EXO-L because L falls right between K and M and it stands for Love. 😍Get it? EXO-K, EXO-L, EXO-M (K-L-M in the alphabet) In the EXO-K version of "Mama" (the version you just watched) the members 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 (not a butterfly), 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 this MV 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 will see when you watch 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. Also, each member in EXO-K has a counterpart in EXO-M that fills the same role in each group. For example, D.O. is the main vocalist in EXO-K and Chen is the main vocalist in EXO-M; Baekhyun is the second main vocalist in K and Luhan was the second main vocalist in M; Chanyeol is the main rapper in K and Kris was the main rapper in M; Sehun is the lead rapper in K and Xiumin is the lead rapper in M; Kai is the main dancer in K and Lay is the main dancer in M; and then it's Suho is a lead vocalist in K and Tao was a rapper/vocalist in M (I'm not sure how these two really work together because Tao is more of a rapper and Suho is a vocalist, but because they are the last two they are put together.) 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. Now that you have seen "Mama" and are starting to understand EXO's backstory, if you watch any 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. 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. More information in my reply attached to this comment. :D
The whole point of both the EXO-K and EXO-M versions of their songs and each MV is to introduce you to EXO's concept and storyline. "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 everything they have been sent to Earth to do. That's why it's important to watch BOTH versions. As you might have noticed, EXO is known for their vocals and for their dancing. As an SM Entertainment group it's really no surprise that the members are all amazing vocalists and dancers because that's just a fact about the type of people that SM selects to be a part of its company. SM has become known for its amazing vocalists and dancers and that is why it's one of the big 3 entertainment companies in Korea and around the world. EXO currently has 9 members (originally 12) and all of them are amazing vocalists, however, 2 are considered the group's main/lead rappers (Chanyeol and Sehun), but there are several other members that are sub-rappers as well. If you follow SM Entertainment groups, you will soon discover that all of SM's rappers were actually chosen to become trainees for their vocal and/or dancing skills. All of SM's rappers learned to rap, or at least became good at it, after they joined the company. Therefore, all of SM's artists are amazing singers -- being good at rapping is just a bonus. SM is known for having some of the best vocalists and dancers in the industry and the members of EXO are proof of that. It's very 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 -- 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. There is so much more to EXO's story, "Mama" is just the introduction. If you really want to follow their storyline you will have to really pay attention to every detail of everything EXO has ever done because it's all connected. You also need to pay attention to the lyrics for "Mama." As you saw, the majority of their chant is in English (the chant is known as a gregorian chant and it is a singing style that is often heard used by Catholic monks): "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. 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 and environmental destruction, 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. 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 that 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. Also, 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. By the way, no one has ugly pants (LoL), but the guy you are referring to is Kai (real name Kim JongIn) and he is one of the top two BEST dancers in the entire industry. Hands down he is literally known as the industry's best dancer and that is not just a fan's opinion, he has been given that title by his peers as well. The other top dancer is Kai's best friend, Taemin from SHINee, who is also an SM Entertainment artist. 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 EXO's 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. But as I said, the one thing you have to keep in mind with all of EXO's MVs, and I really mean all of them -- including EXO's sub-sub-unit MVs and many of the members' solo MVs, as well as SuperM's MVs -- is that they are all connected and they all tell a little more of EXO's story and why they are on Earth, etc. 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 door or gateway, so his stage name is supposed to symbolize his role within EXO's storyline.) 🌪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 who, eventually, leave the group: 🐉 Kris was the leader of EXO-M and he was a main rapper and vocalist -- his power was the ability to fly and his spirit animal was a dragon 💭 Luhan was a main vocalist and his power was telekinesis (The ability to control things with his mind) ⏰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
Thank you for all those explanations. I knew quite a lot already about their story line and group évolution but didnt know about the link between their release and celestial events maybe because I started following them after their last comeback. I am wondering if the red force doesn't represent communism ( regarding Korea history and their state of war still going on with North Korea ), don't kill me but I think it will match the story line as well. The tree being broke into 2 pieces like Korea, the color red instead of usually black or darkest colors to designate evil ( even though red is also use sometime). I didnt dig into it because just thought about after reading you. You didnt mention all the predebut teaser they have done, there were a lot ( a record if I recall correctly). Kai's one being always the first to be released since his stage name mean door but also open, like in open a new path.
i just want to point out that it's just overwhelming that you actually wrote down suggestion (saw it on your last video which is in the tempo reaction) and you actually trying your best to connect with us and for giving us the reaction of what you really feel, so thank you. Keep that up!
5:00 the symbol lighting is the symbol of their power Suho - Water Sehun - Wind Kai - Teleportation Chanyeol - Fire Xiumin - Frost Chen - Thunder D.O. - Strength/Earth Lay - Healing Baekhyun - Light Former members Tao - Time controlling Kris - Fright Luhan - Telekenisis
17:41 let me tell you this. This is the reason why they first boycotted by the public. EXO is the second kpop group who have a story line. B.A.P is the first. All we know that EXO came from SM Entertainment, the biggest entertainment in KPOP. Many people therefore concluded that they were privileged and had a easy time gaining success. But this is a BIG NO. First, EXO is the first kpop group who have this kind of storyline. Aliens from EXOPlanet coming to EARTH to fight Red Forces (Evil) is a too much concept for people, adding the fact that they have superpowers. People said that the superpower concept is just so epic and weird to handle. Second, they have a lot of membersssss. Kpop group before is not that much members. Suju is the first having almost 13 members and they are well loved but in general, KPOP groups have basically 6 members below, the standard. People are confused about the names of the 12 members and the EXO K and EXO M concept. So when this mv was out, people boycotted them. They were called as the SM Biggest Mistake, just after their debut, people wanted them to disband. Thats why they have hiatus for one year just after they debuted. Only 20 people came from their fan meeting and they also experienced performing on streets to be recognized. So, people who said that groups from small company are the only one who works hard then its wrong as many groups from BIG3 also had a lot of hard time.
The concept of the BAP storyline is limited only to their debut, while EXO is their identity ... That's a big difference. EXO was the first group to have a story concept that became their identity rather than just sweetening promotions.
@@ohchevi4268 however, i still feel to mentioned BAP because I dont want to discredit that title which been used first by them. If you read carefully my comment, I mentioned that EXO is the first KPOP group to have that kind of storyline, I did not expand that statement but I hope you get what I mean
@@ohchevi4268 but did I stated a wrong info? In comes of storyline, whatever big or small is, or how long they did use it, B.A.P is the first kpop group who established a storyline in KPOP. Am I wrong?
@@ohchevi4268 girl, second. The main point of my comment is to state thre hardship of EXO when they are rookie. I cannot see why you are making things big when I just didnt discredit B.A.P. Should I say, EXO is the first kpop group who have their storyline that up until now is visible etc etc. Then, I am spreading wrong info. Whether we like it or not, EXO is the second group who had storyline officially in KPOP industry.
U remind me of the youtuber Dayna Watson..she's also an army,..the first tym she reacted to EXO,Her title always start at ARMY Reacts to EXO..but not anymore,..on my own experience,once u get to know exo and start listening to their songs,u got addicted to them and u can't stop urself from listening because that's what happened to me and i think also with Dayna Watson...EXO introduced me to kpop,but i don't think i'm ready to listen to other groups,bec. I started at exo,and they're the vocal kings of kpop and i don't want to get dissapointed when i start listening to the other because exo is my standards..
@saghar arjolo oh u have no idea how much i became addicted to exo,i'm a baby exo-l and i have many things i need to know about exo,..i sleep only 5hrs everyday because of watching everything that have something to do with exo..i just can't get enough of them..i love them so much...and i can't choose my bias when it comes to them,at first it was kai then chen and then suho and chanyoel then baek,d.o,xiumin and the maknae sehun...they are just so perfect..
@@jonamariemarcaida249 omg me too...I got to know just a little bit of Kpop 6 years ago with WOLF... But I was a Directioner back then so I didn't discover more of them and then 5 years later I was like : let me see why these boys have this many fans(couse here in my country EXO-Ls are the biggest fandom) . I watched a live performance of tempo and now it's been a year since I'v became EXO-L.
@saghar arjolo btw where r u from? I'm not into kpop b4 bec my thinkinh about kpop b4 is like,oh they all used autotune and lipsyncing bec i came from the philippines,and in my country we hate autotune and lipsync,bec u see philippine singer r just one of the best..but exo proved me wrong..damn i was in awed when i watch their live performance
I want to check out an guide on EXO soon, but I'm afraid it might spoiler me on some songs I haven't heard yet (like, if songs are mentioned or even played in the background of the guide) 🤔 Which title tracks should I absolutelly know before digging deeper into EXO as a whole? I wanna do maybe one or two more MVs before getting to know them "personally" through a guide 👀 What are the "must-listen"s?
Hope you'll also check the Exo M's version because they have the different members singing and it shows each(exo m's and exo k's) members' different supernatural powers.
There are two symbols, dragon and phoenix and each one is representing one of the group. long time ago in China, the people symbolized their king as a dragon. They believe that the dragon is a sacred creature. Dragon symbolized prosperity, luck, power and is a majestic creature. And EXO-M got dragon. Phoenix is a symbol of Korean queens, Phoenix described as a beautiful creature, with even more beautiful cry. They can change their self into humans, and it was symbolized as the flexibility of the Korean queens. Phoenix also brings lucks, and they have a healing power. EXO-K got them. Meaning behind the Eclipse the korean people at that time believes that their King is the sun and their Queen is the moon. And you know that the sun and the moon will never be on one same sky right? When the eclipse occurs, the sun and the moon will be in the same position, on the one same sky. And it became a really amazing moment where the King and the Queen will finally be in the one palace. So the eclipse means the unity of the sun and the moon. The king and the queen will become one. And of course, EXO-M and EXO-K also will become one too. And our boys have amazingly clarified it again by their yelling, “We are ONE!” . Dragon = King = EXO-M Phoenix = Queen = EXO-K
12.28 that's Kai he's the main dancer with Sehun and Lay. Actually he's one of the best dancers in kpop. Idol's chose him as the best dancer for 3 years. Thank you for your reaction! You're adorable.
4:05, this is basically saying that if EXO K and EXO M will unite as one and completed the tree of life, an another world will open up. It means more peace and love. Basically, in reality context, it means that if EXO K and EXO M will unite as EXO, more wonderful performances will be able to see
@@Landyra let me tell this because I am on the part when you asked "EXO K means Korean members singing and EXO M means Chinese members singing?" Its a yes and no. Yes, EXO K means members in that sub unit singing. However, let me clear that there are two Koreans in EXO M. Means EXO M is composed of 4 Chinese and 2 Koreans
i understand! you can never expect an exo song to be sound like their another songs! the reason they are the most versatile kpop group out there with their discography! and also i understand kai's scream metal type of part you will find it overwhelmed bt as for me who love listening to different types of metals and rocks, i found it to so fascinating that they actually added screaming in their song, as you can see preference varies! the one in those pants dancing well is kai, he's the best dancer in kpop imo! exo songs age like fine wine so ig you'll grow on more! loving your journey huhu! Thank you so much for reacting to exo!^^
Her horizone of music mostly bout bts which is very opposite with EXO thats why...i can see she was shocked since the first time reacted to EXO, cause EXO has vocalize that rarely other groups has... N i also notice that EXO music not her cup of tea...bcause she never look really amazed with EXO vocals, idk thats my reaction to her.
Also, if we take the time to read the lyrics and understand the concept, the point where Kai gives us a scary jump, makes sense and absolutely connects to the storyline. This MV is epic!
Enjoying watching you go on this exo deep dive. (I started my deep dive with them about 7 month ago) This song, I've always thought of as Epic. I've had it on my Playlist for some time now, but this is my first time seeing the full video with you. Didn't expect the facepaint as well lol! But as many other people have commented, they don't have one particular style - which is another thing that I love about them. Oh yah, I would recommend just adding this to your Playlist and listen without the video to truly appreciate its epic-ness 😊
I like how you make videos, detailed and organized. I will subscribe. 😁 Btw, just an info: Exo is vocal based group so it's a lot of singing and harmonizing that will you notice in your journey to their discography. They're know as the best RnB group of kpop from 3rd Generation. So yeah, if you like RnB, EXO is the choice. But if RnB is not your cup of tea, you might didn't like some certain songs. Hope you enjoy them. I'll look forward for your EXO videos 💙
I‘m happy you‘re enjoying my content - welcome 🥰 as for the info: RnB is really hit or miss for me, so I’m sure there‘ll be some songs that won‘t be for me, and some I‘ll enjoy 🤔 I absolutely adore harmonizing though 🙏🏻✨
I am a new EXO fan and I enjoy watching ARMIES discovering EXO :) That's why I look out for your videos, to see if you will end up like most of them hahahaha.... Like me, truly and irrevocably addicted, and once you gets hooked, there is no escape so leave now or forever hold your peace :)
Ich mag deine Art und Weise wie du darauf reagierst, es ist so ehrlich und einfach, es erinnert mich daran wie es für mich war als ich EXO entdeckt hatte, vielleicht weil es auf so eine „deutsche“ Art und Weise passiert! Mach weiter so und ich kann’s kaum erwarten, dir dabei zuzuschauen wie du den Kaninchenbau erkundigst :) I really like the way you react to this, it’s so honest and not over the top and I really love that. It reminds me how I felt when I first got into EXO, it felt like doing it all over again, because maybe it’s such a „german“ kind of reaction. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait watching you getting down this rabbit hole named EXO :3
as a music teacher, and an EXO-L, i love how you analyze the relation of the mv concept lyrics, and the musical elements of exo songs.... i recommend you watch the EXO-M version for you to further understand or have clues on MAMA's concept.. Also as I have understood, the majesty they are referring to is Mother Nature.
please don't feel bad to say your honest opinion on the MVs you watch! even within EXO-Ls (EXO fans) there is a lot of varying opinion on different songs and concepts--especially their earlier debut stuff. love your channel! looking forward to seeing the other, non-kpop content you post! Edit: i also love how thoughtful your reactions are! you've picked up on some things that even i never noticed. :)
Thanks for reacting. Honestly, you are the only reactor that I subscribed to. 😊 Please react to EXO IS FAMILY where you can know more about EXO. meaningful songs I can recommend are PROMISE and POWER 😊💪
Thank you, that means a lot 🥺🥰 I wrote "EXO IS FAMILY" down for the future, I think it's best if I wait until I know them a little better and have maybe even seen a general guide about exo, before watching it! :)
I really enjoy watching you react to EXO! I mean, it just reminded me of how I also reacted to them while watching this video, I hope you'd know them welll!
The whole point of both the EXO-K and EXO-M versions of their songs and each MV is to introduce you to EXO's concept and storyline. "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 everything they have been sent to Earth to do. That's why it's important to watch BOTH versions. As you might have noticed, EXO is known for their vocals and for their dancing. As an SM Entertainment group it's really no surprise that the members are all amazing vocalists and dancers because that's just a fact about the type of people that SM selects to be a part of its company. SM has become known for its amazing vocalists and dancers and that is why it's one of the big 3 entertainment companies in Korea and around the world. EXO currently has 9 members (originally 12) and all of them are amazing vocalists, however, 2 are considered the group's main/lead rappers (Chanyeol and Sehun), but there are several other members that are sub-rappers as well. If you follow SM Entertainment groups, you will soon discover that all of SM's rappers were actually chosen to become trainees for their vocal and/or dancing skills. All of SM's rappers learned to rap, or at least became good at it, after they joined the company. Therefore, all of SM's artists are amazing singers -- being good at rapping is just a bonus. SM is known for having some of the best vocalists and dancers in the industry and the members of EXO are proof of that. It's very 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 -- 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. There is so much more to EXO's story, "Mama" is just the introduction. If you really want to follow their storyline you will have to really pay attention to every detail of everything EXO has ever done because it's all connected. You also need to pay attention to the lyrics for "Mama." As you saw, the majority of their chant is in English (the chant is known as a gregorian chant and it is a singing style that is often heard used by Catholic monks): "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. 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 and environmental destruction, 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. 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 that 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. Also, 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. By the way, no one has ugly pants (LoL), but the guy you are referring to is Kai (real name Kim JongIn) and he is one of the top two BEST dancers in the entire industry. Hands down he is literally known as the industry's best dancer and that is not just a fan's opinion, he has been given that title by his peers as well. The other top dancer is Kai's best friend, Taemin from SHINee, who is also an SM Entertainment artist. 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 EXO's 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. But as I said, the one thing you have to keep in mind with all of EXO's MVs, and I really mean all of them -- including EXO's sub-sub-unit MVs and many of the members' solo MVs, as well as SuperM's MVs -- is that they are all connected and they all tell a little more of EXO's story and why they are on Earth, etc. 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 door or gateway, so his stage name is supposed to symbolize his role within EXO's storyline.) 🌪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 who, eventually, leave the group: 🐉 Kris was the leader of EXO-M and he was a main rapper and vocalist -- his power was the ability to fly and his spirit animal was a dragon 💭 Luhan was a main vocalist and his power was telekinesis (The ability to control things with his mind) ⏰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
@@Landyra honestly your reaction is the simplest I've seen so far. There are others who are asking why he do that or what the freaking hell is that lol hahahaha
einnuh _94 haha that is my MOST FAVORITE moment of all i think... started listening them as a metalhead and MAMA breakdown is the reason why I'm an exo-l now
Youre doing a great job in understanding the concept and the history of exo haha lol... thats me when i first knew them its kind of headache but its not refretful.. thank u and welcome to this exo planet
This song is literally a hit or miss to others. SM really do love to experiment with their artists because this was actually one of their most experimental song you can hear it from the way it sounds it has heavy metal (kinda), rock, and a little operatic. And this was hands down, one of my favorite Debuts from K-Pop because it's not the usual sound or concept a group tackles specially when they're debuting. It's just refreshing to see. And from this, you can really see how EXO has grown much musically.
@Landyra I think the voice you hear distinctly is Baekhyun's while D.O. harmonizes with him. I've also noticed this before when I listened to it (with earphones) on Spotify. As you get to know the group, its members, and listen to their songs, you'll be able to identify their individual sound and voice quality. For me, Baek and Kai's voices are easily recognizable bcs they have that very distinct sound. You'll know what I mean once you get to watch them in variety shows and their live performances where you can actually hear them sing or speak. Btw, I like how natural your reactions are. Just like what others here said, just be you and react to whatever you like. We're here to enjoy it and hear your opinion (which you say respectfully). They may not always vibe with ours but that's just the beauty of it. You're doing great! 👍😉❤️😁
15:30 you are SOOOO spot on. It's crazy. The two exos are EXO-K and EXO-M. In the intro of the mv they talk about two world that see the same sun, etc.
Whenever you see 6 members instead of 12 it's simply because the other 6 appear in the other version of the song. Each version are sang and performed by different members too (Exo-M or Exo-K) so you may sometimes like one version over the other voice wise because they are definitely different despite them performing the same songs. So the best way to react to 12 member Exo would be to react to Exo-K and Exo-M versions back to back in one video. Despite that i personally don't mind if you choose to only react on camera to Exo-K but you definitely need to watch exo-M versions of all Exo-K songs at least off camera so that you can get familiar to Exo-M members too. Otherwise you won't see/hear them much until Exo later comebacks as ot9. Edit:(Btw Exo-M aren't actually "the chinese members". Exo only ever had 4 chinese members which is why Exo-M also had 2 korean members, Exo-M is simply the unit promoting in China, while Exo-K the one promoting in Korea. That's it) Oh and love that you reacted to the lyrics video too, you should keep doing that (only keeping the highlights of that is a good choice too) Thank's for your reaction!!!!
10:51 basically thats why its titled as EXO K means the 6 members in the sub unit (but all of them danced in the end). If you are asking to react if you should watch Chinese, its up to you. Basically, its the same mv. A little different of meaning and some scenes but almost the same
“Mama” it is indeed a unique song in Kpop. Like Chen(one of the member) said it tells to world that EXO is coming. “The Eve” (either dance practice video or a live performance is amazing), or “Kokobop” for next? Thank you
There is so many more army reactors are now proudly saying they are exols..Exo music is so addicted you will fall in love there vocals cannot compare with other groups..just watch there live performance..
Exo-M has 4 chinese members and 2 korean members all singing in chinese. The video in the chinese version is with the exo-M members and the difference is just that you see the powers of the exo-M members instead. That's it. And don't worry i don't really like kai's part either with the whole screaming part even after all these years as an exo-l. Luckily that's the first and last time they ever do anything like that. Haha. And also their outfit styling in their first few years are so horrible. Just wait until you see Wolf omg even exo-ls hate the styling in Wolf. Looking forward to your next video! P/s: i'm really sorry for those who were negative to you for not liking crop tops. It's not a look that fits everyone's taste so it's understandable. Hopefully you don't mind them too much. Again really sorry for that.
in the dance break, 4 of them are from EXO M (Xiumin, Lay, Luhan and Tao, Luhan and Tao is the former member of EXO which is part of the dance line), you watched the EXO K's version while the other members are in EXO M version, i recommend you to also watch/react the EXO M's version because it's so rare to find a channel who also reacts for EXO-M version. also in the near end of the MV, you can notice that EXO M members appear in the video 11:58 - 11:59 that is Tao (former member from EXO M) Power: Time Control 12:05 that is Kris (former member and leader of EXO M) Power: Flight/Dragon 12:14 The white one is Luhan (former member of EXO M). Power: Telekinesis (example Floating) 12:16 That is Xiumin ( a korean member of EXO M and the oldest member of EXO) Power: Ice 12:22 That is Lay (the remaining chinese member of EXO M who is inactive nowadays but he is still a member) Power: Healing 12:31 the downward is Chen (a korean member of EXO M) Power: Thunder 12:33 the upper one is Kris again
I really enjoy your reaction!!! The first time I listened and saw MAMA I was in shock with their outfits I the pants... Kai's screaming with tatoos. But the song it's really nice you have to see EXO M version to understand better the concept and pay attention to the lyrics the lyrics
loved this! i always find myself looking forward to your reaction videos bc it actually feels like you're genuinely interested and not doing it just for views! i'm also still relatively new to the fandom but from my understanding the "two forces" aren't necessarily good and evil. they're just counter parts of each other living in parallel universes (bc they divided the tree of life in half) in some shots they'll show you exo-k members looking at their counterparts in exo-m (12:16 & 12:24). hope that helps somewhat! more power to you!! already looking forward to your next reaction video!... and p.s. the guy in the "ugly pants" who you thought dances pretty well is kai! 😂☺️ xx
EXO debuted as 12 members and there were 2 sub groups. EXO-K and EXO-M. EXO-K with 6 korean members (Suho,Baekhyun,Chanyeol,D.O.,Kai and Sehun) promoting in Korea and EXO-M with 4 chinese and 2 korean members (Kris,Luhan,Lay,Tao,Chen and Xiumin) promoting in China. They started to be seen together in an MV during Wolf Era I guess bec there's always a different MV for K and M. After a couple of songs released the chinese members left the group. Right now we have 9 members in total. 3 members are in the Military 1 member is in China bec of Hallyu Ban
Love your reactions I also love that you're exploring outside of bts unfortunately not many people do that you should give Golden Child a listen they are extremely good preferably Wannabe, Without You, and One (Lucid Dream) which came out a few weeks ago.
I'm actually surprised that you already like it at 1st watch. It's kinda weird for me when I first watch it, especially the cult-like scene. haha eventually I loved it, they're just pure talent especially their vocals. Looking forward for more reaction videos
Me being a stan since 2013 still get chills down my spine when listening to this. Like I just meet my ultimate crush and i just froze, got butterflies in my stomach and goosebumps, i mean i still fell inlove with this song everytime I heard this. And of i agree, when you hear this you'll feel nostalgic too. ❤️❤️❤️
In EXO-M, there are 4 members from China : Lay, Kris, Luhan, Tao.. And the two of them : Chen and Xiumin are Korean... Kris, Tao, and Luhan left the group, and Lay be the one and only member from China right now... U know what, SM always did different things, concepts, groups, type of musics.. thats why SM is the pilar of Kpop... SM always be the trendsetter as a company and the artist from SM individualy as well. SM always lead each generations... Love EXO, and especially Love my big family, SM Town..
Wish you could check out and react on their GROWL and POWER songs too.. Anyway its nice that a fan from a certain fandom like you, is trying to check other kpop group songs and so much thanks that you have chosen EXO. Lols i love how you reacts on our boys voices, specially CHANYEOL whom you have pointed out on your 2 previous vid. Waiting for more vids from you girl 😊

I would highly recommend you EXO - Wolf MV and live in Tokyo dome(there are all 12 members in the MV) on live there are only 9. I find out about EXO on 2017 because I've watched a chinese drama with Luhan(ex member) without knowing anything about this group but when I first listened Wolf and Monster I felt in love with them and especially their vocals, I think they harmonize so well together just mind blowing. Baekhyun is my fav singer, but I also appreciate Chen and D.O vocals a lot. Chanyeol is my bias in EXO but all of them are adorable and talented. Check out EXO-SC(Sehun and Chanyeol) - We young, Closer to you; Sehun - On me and Chanyeol - Nothin. P.S I saw you always like Chanyeol, he is super talented, you can start the guide with him, you'll see how many talentd he has, impressive really.
U should see the sub.. This song said Mama(god) why we can't love? Is there was beautiful time before? - we should be human cuz we hurt and cry.. - no feels no care just the shit language everywhere. -they left there hearts.. They don't care now. - We live in world with 1.0 every day begin so lonly. - someone with mask on his face hide his eyes thats wanna to kill! - war!.. This not a game!. -mama( god) tell us we can change if we want.
Great reaction! And just state your honest opinions! No one likes people who are fake. - ugh i still love MAMA so much till this day. it is very epic sounding - you're right, exo-m members will sing the mandarin version, k members sing the korean version. when you listen to them, it's very interesting to hear how different their combined voices sound for each unit. exo-m seems to have a higher tone, and exo-k a lower tone. at least from what i noticed - took a long time for me to be able to 'accept' that screamo portion of the song. i didn't like it at first too lol - i still hate those 'low crotch' pants Hope you check out 'Lucky One' or 'Love me right'! I like EXO's funky side a lot so i really love these two title tracks. Not sure if you're into ballads, but i hope you check out their winter title tracks like 'Universe', 'Sing for You', 'For Life'.
This song SOO EPIC, I really like it that time was a heavy song and new , but it’s the most EPIC and LEGENDARY debut in kpop in my opinion, i mean the intro and the vocals and visuals etc And if I’m not mistaking this is still the most expensive MV debut in kpop

Hi Friends 🥰 The comments on the last video were pretty clear on that you wanted me to check out MAMA next, so here you go ✨ I just wanna quickly bring up what I mentioned in the end of today's video again: I've really started getting into EXO after the first video and I want to continue checking them out, but I don't want my channel to become a pure "reaction channel", because my goal with it has always been for it to be outlet for my creativity and "self-fulfillment", if you will, and share some of my life with the world. So please don't be disappointed or annoyed if I post a video with a different topic again here and there, inbetween the different EXO reactions - I plan on continuing with them until I have a better understanding of EXO and maybe even become an EXO-L myself, but I also want to keep working on the videos that I had planned for this summer. So as unrelated as this sounds - you'll probably see a fashion haul on my channel soon-ish, because I'd been planning on doing that for a while and the clothes have basically been sitting here waiting ever since "EXO happened" and I fell into this rabbit hole, when I initially just quickly wanted to check them out 😅🙈
React to obsession ,groove and chanyeol,s cover of creep ,all of me and wind of change
Sure thing you can react to whatever you plan 😊 you are supported and appreciated.
It's okay we understand, and ofcourse we will still gonna watch ur other videos.
She needs to react to obsession of course when she can and wants to
React to Mama Exo-M. Plsss. And also react to overdose by exo too.
when the legend began... MAMA is so nostalgic for older exo ls like me.
Yes. I’m not an old exo l and this song is just so nostalgic for me
yes their debut album and xoxo get me so nostalgic
OMG same. I kind of miss it when the logo comes out in the end.
Agree. Even the predebut era is just so... Oh god, such a beautiful times
exo - l here
Actually Exo has another hidden concept that not many people talk about which is that they came down to Earth to help us learn to love again and not be greedy and materialistic which is shown in these lyrics. I love the message with it. They even apply it to real life by telling us online not to buy their albums that we should instead eat well or buy warm clothing and spend time with people. At concerts they want us to love each other and become close during the event and even now they have mentioned that now they aren’t worried about awards anymore (though they have many) and they just want to focus on what they love to do and just have fun. And even though they have the money they donate it or still have broken phones, etc. Don’t worry about the crop top hate comments even Kai said he hated wearing them due to him being shy and uncomfortable off stage. And yes the members in this song are communicating with each other which you can see in the mv (Suho wiping away water and another face shows up) The intro was super cute and kudos to all your hard work!❤️👍🏻
That is not actually a hidden concept, it goes along with, them having super power to battle the evilness of the Red Force to bring back love, respect, to stop war and discrimantion and bring unity among all creatures in this planet earth that the evil force has created and instilled in our hearts and minds.
And it is so true that EXO always cared for their fans that they always tell us not to buy so many of their albums and instead buy things for ourself and not worry and cared about the awards. What is important to them is to create music that we will love and will make us happy and for them to be an inspiration to strive hard in life, that is what they tell us in all fan meetings, events and concerts.
Also, there are 2 songs they released, a pre-debut song, History and What is Love, it will be highly appreciated if you could also react to these too. Thanks.
ah dude about the crop top thing kai has joked about hating them, on multiple occasions he has said that he likes them and pulls them off very well
EXO, saranghaja!! 💙
Angel_firelight Sy yeah I worded it wrong what I meant was that not many people talk about it, not that it was hidden, they only talk about the powers and new fans don’t know.
They are the best 💗i love how they want us to Love each other not just ourselves! I was so touched when i learnt more about EXO
I am really laughing so hard watching non fans watching MAMA because their expression said it all like "WHAT JUST HAPPENED? WHAT DID I WATCH? I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY!" lmao hahaha, this is always the culture mv for new people. Its understandable because when I watch it first time, I am just speechless and did not know what to say lol hahaha

- Current Soloists in the group is Lay, Chen, Baekhyun, Suho and soon Kai.
- Subunits : EXO-CBX (Chen, Baekhyun & Xiumin) and EXO-SC (Chanyeol & Sehun)
- They used to have 12 members but 3 of them left the group during 2014-2015 bc company mistreatment. All Chinese member left except Lay make him the only chinese member in the group. He currently focus his career in China & also China&Korea got some beef going on so it’s hard for him to active in Korea. He always mentioned EXO are his brothers n will never leave them.
-EXO are multitalented group and have really really really power vocalists inside the group. All of them can sing! ❤️
-As for now, the only active member is Lay, Chen, Baekhyun, Kai, Chanyeol & Sehun. 3 of the members (Suho, Xiumin & D.O.) went to military service required for Korean.
Hope this little info helps you ☺️

👏👏👏👏👏
👍👍
good explanation dear....😍
Mia A R oh my 😭 thank you for correcting me. i’m really forgetful huhu
This is the intro
"When the skies and the grounds were one, the legends, through their twelve forces, nurtured the tree of life. An eye of red force created the evil, which coveted the heart of tree of life and the heart slowly grew dry. With tend and engrace for heart of tree of life, the legends hereby divide the tree in half and hide each side. Hence, time is over-turned and space turns a skew.The 12 forces divide into 2 and create two suns that look alike into two worlds that seem alike. The legends travel apart. The legends shall now see the same sky but shall stand on different grounds, shall stand on the same ground, but shall see different skies. The day the grounds be kept a single file before one sky in two worlds that seem alike, the legends will greet each other. The day the red force is purified, and the twelve forces reunite into one perfect root, a new world shall open up"
I can hear the voice from the MV while reading this😂
Hahahaha actually i tried to memorize this by listening to the mv but thanks help a lot
Same here I was think I heard the voice of the mv.
So extra I love it.
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. "Mama" is how EXO was introduced to the world and it explains the group's concept. So to really understand EXO you need to start from the very beginning and watch BOTH of their "Mama" MVs. From day one, EXO's concept is that they are aliens from planet EXO and they came to Earth with superpowers on a mission to protect the Tree of Life from the Red Forces (There is only one force which is red). 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.
Now that you have seen the EXO-K version of "Mama" you really need to watch the EXO-M version. it's important you know EXO's story and really pay attention to the narrator's introduction in the beginning of this MV to understand everything that happens from now on in all the rest of EXO's MVs.
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 all has something to do with real celestial events that are predicted to take place.
In order to really understand EXO you need to understand that In the beginning there was 12 members and they were split up into 2 groups EXO-K and EXO-M. EXO-K sang and performed their songs in Korean and EXO-M sang and performed those same songs in Mandarin Chinese. EXO-K had 6 Korean members and EXO-M had 4 Chinese members and 2 Korean members. So to really understand their full origin story you have to watch BOTH the K and the M version of "Mama."
It's more than just two different languages, each group has a very specific role within EXO's storyline.
However, since then 3 of the 4 Chinese members have left the group (short answer to focus on their solo work back in China) but there is still one Chinese member left, Lay. (Any performances or MVs you watch that took place prior to May 2014 you will see all 12 of the members. Kris and Luhan left in 2014 and Tao left in 2015.) However, now -- because they no longer have enough Chinese members -- they no longer do separate promotions, but they still produce almost all of their main track songs in both Korean and Mandarin they just now promote all as one big group EXO with 9 members.
So, not only does EXO have amazing MVs, but it's almost always double because most of the time when they have a Korean version they also will have a Mandarin version, so it means they have to shoot two separate videos.Their fandom name is EXO-L because L falls right between K and M and it stands for Love. 😍Get it? EXO-K, EXO-L, EXO-M (K-L-M in the alphabet)
In the EXO-K version of "Mama" (the version you just watched) the members 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 (not a butterfly), 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 this MV 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 will see when you watch 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.
Also, each member in EXO-K has a counterpart in EXO-M that fills the same role in each group. For example, D.O. is the main vocalist in EXO-K and Chen is the main vocalist in EXO-M; Baekhyun is the second main vocalist in K and Luhan was the second main vocalist in M; Chanyeol is the main rapper in K and Kris was the main rapper in M; Sehun is the lead rapper in K and Xiumin is the lead rapper in M; Kai is the main dancer in K and Lay is the main dancer in M; and then it's Suho is a lead vocalist in K and Tao was a rapper/vocalist in M (I'm not sure how these two really work together because Tao is more of a rapper and Suho is a vocalist, but because they are the last two they are put together.)
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.
Now that you have seen "Mama" and are starting to understand EXO's backstory, if you watch any 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. 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.
More information in my reply attached to this comment. :D
The whole point of both the EXO-K and EXO-M versions of their songs and each MV is to introduce you to EXO's concept and storyline. "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 everything they have been sent to Earth to do.
That's why it's important to watch BOTH versions.
As you might have noticed, EXO is known for their vocals and for their dancing. As an SM Entertainment group it's really no surprise that the members are all amazing vocalists and dancers because that's just a fact about the type of people that SM selects to be a part of its company. SM has become known for its amazing vocalists and dancers and that is why it's one of the big 3 entertainment companies in Korea and around the world.
EXO currently has 9 members (originally 12) and all of them are amazing vocalists, however, 2 are considered the group's main/lead rappers (Chanyeol and Sehun), but there are several other members that are sub-rappers as well. If you follow SM Entertainment groups, you will soon discover that all of SM's rappers were actually chosen to become trainees for their vocal and/or dancing skills. All of SM's rappers learned to rap, or at least became good at it, after they joined the company. Therefore, all of SM's artists are amazing singers -- being good at rapping is just a bonus. SM is known for having some of the best vocalists and dancers in the industry and the members of EXO are proof of that.
It's very 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 -- 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. There is so much more to EXO's story, "Mama" is just the introduction. If you really want to follow their storyline you will have to really pay attention to every detail of everything EXO has ever done because it's all connected.
You also need to pay attention to the lyrics for "Mama." As you saw, the majority of their chant is in English (the chant is known as a gregorian chant and it is a singing style that is often heard used by Catholic monks): "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. 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 and environmental destruction, 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. 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 that 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.
Also, 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.
By the way, no one has ugly pants (LoL), but the guy you are referring to is Kai (real name Kim JongIn) and he is one of the top two BEST dancers in the entire industry. Hands down he is literally known as the industry's best dancer and that is not just a fan's opinion, he has been given that title by his peers as well. The other top dancer is Kai's best friend, Taemin from SHINee, who is also an SM Entertainment artist.
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 EXO's 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.
But as I said, the one thing you have to keep in mind with all of EXO's MVs, and I really mean all of them -- including EXO's sub-sub-unit MVs and many of the members' solo MVs, as well as SuperM's MVs -- is that they are all connected and they all tell a little more of EXO's story and why they are on Earth, etc.
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 door or gateway, so his stage name is supposed to symbolize his role within EXO's storyline.)
🌪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 who, eventually, leave the group:
🐉 Kris was the leader of EXO-M and he was a main rapper and vocalist -- his power was the ability to fly and his spirit animal was a dragon
💭 Luhan was a main vocalist and his power was telekinesis (The ability to control things with his mind)
⏰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
Wooow, this explain me a lot, lot of hekp for new exol
WOW YOU PUT SO MUCH EFFORT TO WRITE DOWN THIS. GREAT JOB! :)
perfect explanation 🔥😲
Thank you for all those explanations. I knew quite a lot already about their story line and group évolution but didnt know about the link between their release and celestial events maybe because I started following them after their last comeback. I am wondering if the red force doesn't represent communism ( regarding Korea history and their state of war still going on with North Korea ), don't kill me but I think it will match the story line as well. The tree being broke into 2 pieces like Korea, the color red instead of usually black or darkest colors to designate evil ( even though red is also use sometime). I didnt dig into it because just thought about after reading you. You didnt mention all the predebut teaser they have done, there were a lot ( a record if I recall correctly). Kai's one being always the first to be released since his stage name mean door but also open, like in open a new path.
i just want to point out that it's just overwhelming that you actually wrote down suggestion (saw it on your last video which is in the tempo reaction) and you actually trying your best to connect with us and for giving us the reaction of what you really feel, so thank you. Keep that up!
thank you so much, that's so sweet that you appreciate that 🥺🥰

17:41 let me tell you this. This is the reason why they first boycotted by the public. EXO is the second kpop group who have a story line. B.A.P is the first. All we know that EXO came from SM Entertainment, the biggest entertainment in KPOP. Many people therefore concluded that they were privileged and had a easy time gaining success. But this is a BIG NO. First, EXO is the first kpop group who have this kind of storyline. Aliens from EXOPlanet coming to EARTH to fight Red Forces (Evil) is a too much concept for people, adding the fact that they have superpowers. People said that the superpower concept is just so epic and weird to handle. Second, they have a lot of membersssss. Kpop group before is not that much members. Suju is the first having almost 13 members and they are well loved but in general, KPOP groups have basically 6 members below, the standard. People are confused about the names of the 12 members and the EXO K and EXO M concept. So when this mv was out, people boycotted them.
They were called as the SM Biggest Mistake, just after their debut, people wanted them to disband. Thats why they have hiatus for one year just after they debuted. Only 20 people came from their fan meeting and they also experienced performing on streets to be recognized. So, people who said that groups from small company are the only one who works hard then its wrong as many groups from BIG3 also had a lot of hard time.
The concept of the BAP storyline is limited only to their debut, while EXO is their identity ... That's a big difference.
EXO was the first group to have a story concept that became their identity rather than just sweetening promotions.
@@ohchevi4268 however, i still feel to mentioned BAP because I dont want to discredit that title which been used first by them. If you read carefully my comment, I mentioned that EXO is the first KPOP group to have that kind of storyline, I did not expand that statement but I hope you get what I mean
@@zishana_ash but u should explain more since u mention bap, everyone who didnt knw whos bap would question it n point wrong conclusion.
@@ohchevi4268 but did I stated a wrong info? In comes of storyline, whatever big or small is, or how long they did use it, B.A.P is the first kpop group who established a storyline in KPOP. Am I wrong?
@@ohchevi4268 girl, second. The main point of my comment is to state thre hardship of EXO when they are rookie. I cannot see why you are making things big when I just didnt discredit B.A.P. Should I say, EXO is the first kpop group who have their storyline that up until now is visible etc etc. Then, I am spreading wrong info. Whether we like it or not, EXO is the second group who had storyline officially in KPOP industry.
U remind me of the youtuber Dayna Watson..she's also an army,..the first tym she reacted to EXO,Her title always start at ARMY Reacts to EXO..but not anymore,..on my own experience,once u get to know exo and start listening to their songs,u got addicted to them and u can't stop urself from listening because that's what happened to me and i think also with Dayna Watson...EXO introduced me to kpop,but i don't think i'm ready to listen to other groups,bec. I started at exo,and they're the vocal kings of kpop and i don't want to get dissapointed when i start listening to the other because exo is my standards..
oh yes i remember her
I thought it just me....also Selina , she started as an army and now she's EXO-L as well.
@saghar arjolo oh u have no idea how much i became addicted to exo,i'm a baby exo-l and i have many things i need to know about exo,..i sleep only 5hrs everyday because of watching everything that have something to do with exo..i just can't get enough of them..i love them so much...and i can't choose my bias when it comes to them,at first it was kai then chen and then suho and chanyoel then baek,d.o,xiumin and the maknae sehun...they are just so perfect..
@@jonamariemarcaida249 omg me too...I got to know just a little bit of Kpop 6 years ago with WOLF... But I was a Directioner back then so I didn't discover more of them and then 5 years later I was like : let me see why these boys have this many fans(couse here in my country EXO-Ls are the biggest fandom) .
I watched a live performance of tempo and now it's been a year since I'v became EXO-L.
@saghar arjolo btw where r u from? I'm not into kpop b4 bec my thinkinh about kpop b4 is like,oh they all used autotune and lipsyncing bec i came from the philippines,and in my country we hate autotune and lipsync,bec u see philippine singer r just one of the best..but exo proved me wrong..damn i was in awed when i watch their live performance
I want to check out an guide on EXO soon, but I'm afraid it might spoiler me on some songs I haven't heard yet (like, if songs are mentioned or even played in the background of the guide) 🤔 Which title tracks should I absolutelly know before digging deeper into EXO as a whole? I wanna do maybe one or two more MVs before getting to know them "personally" through a guide 👀 What are the "must-listen"s?
Call me baby, Overdose and Growl.
i hope you will react to the guide 2019
Obsession , Love me right , Lucky one this tittle songs must listen.
Beside songs Gravity , oh la la la , hurt , the eve .
After watching 2 or 3 mvs, react to A PROPER GUIDE TO EXO. It has 2 parts. It's the most updated one
why did anyone mention kokobop??
Hope you'll also check the Exo M's version because they have the different members singing and it shows each(exo m's and exo k's) members' different supernatural powers.
Found out about your channel yesterday and I'm already hooked! This is the kind of content that we need ❤️
Awww - I'm so happy you're enjoying it 🥺 Welcome! 🥰
There are two symbols, dragon and phoenix and each one is representing one of the group. long time ago in China, the people symbolized their king as a dragon. They believe that the dragon is a sacred creature. Dragon symbolized prosperity, luck, power and is a majestic creature. And EXO-M got dragon.
Phoenix is a symbol of Korean queens, Phoenix described as a beautiful creature, with even more beautiful cry. They can change their self into humans, and it was symbolized as the flexibility of the Korean queens. Phoenix also brings lucks, and they have a healing power. EXO-K got them.
Meaning behind the Eclipse the korean people at that time believes that their King is the sun and their Queen is the moon. And you know that the sun and the moon will never be on one same sky right? When the eclipse occurs, the sun and the moon will be in the same position, on the one same sky. And it became a really amazing moment where the King and the Queen will finally be in the one palace. So the eclipse means the unity of the sun and the moon. The king and the queen will become one. And of course, EXO-M and EXO-K also will become one too. And our boys have amazingly clarified it again by their yelling, “We are ONE!” . Dragon = King = EXO-M
Phoenix = Queen = EXO-K
The "guy in the ugly pants" is Kai (my bias) and was also the guy in crop top in tempo. He is the main dancer and center.
Yes my bias to.. Please don't say the ugly pants.. I hate it too..
She not know about exo but she said it.. I don't like her..
@@berlianazahirah5082 she didn't say kai is ugly she said that pant is ugly and that's fact that pant is ugly.
ika marlina thats the fact, the pants is ugly 😂
She isn’t say kai is ugly.
12.28 that's Kai he's the main dancer with Sehun and Lay. Actually he's one of the best dancers in kpop. Idol's chose him as the best dancer for 3 years. Thank you for your reaction! You're adorable.
Actually Kai is also voted as the best male idol dancer of kpop industry experts too.
Omg thankyouuuu. I've been waiting for this!!!
This is literally the most awesome and heartwarming thing ever to hear as a youtuber 🥺🥰 I hope you'll enjoy the video!
Who's cutting onions while watching this? My Ot12 heart can't handle thisssss TT
4:05, this is basically saying that if EXO K and EXO M will unite as one and completed the tree of life, an another world will open up. It means more peace and love. Basically, in reality context, it means that if EXO K and EXO M will unite as EXO, more wonderful performances will be able to see
4:44 the narrator said, if the 12 forces reunite (EXOK has 6 members and EXO M has only 6 members)
TWELVE! How did I understand TEAL!? 😂 Thanks for clearing that up!
@@Landyra let me tell this because I am on the part when you asked "EXO K means Korean members singing and EXO M means Chinese members singing?" Its a yes and no. Yes, EXO K means members in that sub unit singing. However, let me clear that there are two Koreans in EXO M. Means EXO M is composed of 4 Chinese and 2 Koreans
i understand! you can never expect an exo song to be sound like their another songs! the reason they are the most versatile kpop group out there with their discography! and also i understand kai's scream metal type of part you will find it overwhelmed bt as for me who love listening to different types of metals and rocks, i found it to so fascinating that they actually added screaming in their song, as you can see preference varies!
the one in those pants dancing well is kai, he's the best dancer in kpop imo!
exo songs age like fine wine so ig you'll grow on more! loving your journey huhu! Thank you so much for reacting to exo!^^
Her horizone of music mostly bout bts which is very opposite with EXO thats why...i can see she was shocked since the first time reacted to EXO, cause EXO has vocalize that rarely other groups has... N i also notice that EXO music not her cup of tea...bcause she never look really amazed with EXO vocals, idk thats my reaction to her.
Also, if we take the time to read the lyrics and understand the concept, the point where Kai gives us a scary jump, makes sense and absolutely connects to the storyline. This MV is epic!
Enjoying watching you go on this exo deep dive. (I started my deep dive with them about 7 month ago) This song, I've always thought of as Epic. I've had it on my Playlist for some time now, but this is my first time seeing the full video with you. Didn't expect the facepaint as well lol! But as many other people have commented, they don't have one particular style - which is another thing that I love about them.
Oh yah, I would recommend just adding this to your Playlist and listen without the video to truly appreciate its epic-ness 😊
I understand you. When you say you don't want all the channel to be only reaction videos. It's your channel just do whatever you like.❤
12:31 its Kai. The Idols of the Idol and very well recognized as one of the best dancer in the whole kpop generation
I like how you make videos, detailed and organized. I will subscribe. 😁
Btw, just an info:
Exo is vocal based group so it's a lot of singing and harmonizing that will you notice in your journey to their discography. They're know as the best RnB group of kpop from 3rd Generation. So yeah, if you like RnB, EXO is the choice. But if RnB is not your cup of tea, you might didn't like some certain songs. Hope you enjoy them. I'll look forward for your EXO videos 💙
I‘m happy you‘re enjoying my content - welcome 🥰 as for the info: RnB is really hit or miss for me, so I’m sure there‘ll be some songs that won‘t be for me, and some I‘ll enjoy 🤔 I absolutely adore harmonizing though 🙏🏻✨
I am a new EXO fan and I enjoy watching ARMIES discovering EXO :) That's why I look out for your videos, to see if you will end up like most of them hahahaha.... Like me, truly and irrevocably addicted, and once you gets hooked, there is no escape so leave now or forever hold your peace :)
The guy in the ugly pants. Is KPOPs BEST MALE IDOL DANCER aka KAI. And that's according to kpop experts and idols themselves. So yeah 💁🏻♂.
Okay, I just stop watching for comment how much I loved your voice! Is so soft... omg...
🥺🥺🥺 thank you!? I‘ve never liked my voice much, I feel like I’m always lowkey shouting 🙈
Ich mag deine Art und Weise wie du darauf reagierst, es ist so ehrlich und einfach, es erinnert mich daran wie es für mich war als ich EXO entdeckt hatte, vielleicht weil es auf so eine „deutsche“ Art und Weise passiert! Mach weiter so und ich kann’s kaum erwarten, dir dabei zuzuschauen wie du den Kaninchenbau erkundigst :)
I really like the way you react to this, it’s so honest and not over the top and I really love that. It reminds me how I felt when I first got into EXO, it felt like doing it all over again, because maybe it’s such a „german“ kind of reaction. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait watching you getting down this rabbit hole named EXO :3
as a music teacher, and an EXO-L, i love how you analyze the relation of the mv concept lyrics, and the musical elements of exo songs.... i recommend you watch the EXO-M version for you to further understand or have clues on MAMA's concept.. Also as I have understood, the majesty they are referring to is Mother Nature.
please don't feel bad to say your honest opinion on the MVs you watch! even within EXO-Ls (EXO fans) there is a lot of varying opinion on different songs and concepts--especially their earlier debut stuff.
love your channel! looking forward to seeing the other, non-kpop content you post!
Edit: i also love how thoughtful your reactions are! you've picked up on some things that even i never noticed. :)
Thanks for reacting. Honestly, you are the only reactor that I subscribed to. 😊 Please react to EXO IS FAMILY where you can know more about EXO. meaningful songs I can recommend are PROMISE and POWER 😊💪
Thank you, that means a lot 🥺🥰 I wrote "EXO IS FAMILY" down for the future, I think it's best if I wait until I know them a little better and have maybe even seen a general guide about exo, before watching it! :)
I've been waiting for this
I'm getting all teary about people saying they looked forward to my video 🥺😭 Hope you enjoy it! 💕
I'm actually interested about your other content and personal videos! 💛
I‘m happy to hear that 🥺 hope you’ll enjoy my other content, too ^-^
You weren't reaching far, your guesses go well with the lore. Thank you for the reaction.
I really love how honest you are on your opinions haha ❤️
I really enjoy watching you react to EXO! I mean, it just reminded me of how I also reacted to them while watching this video, I hope you'd know them welll!
The whole point of both the EXO-K and EXO-M versions of their songs and each MV is to introduce you to EXO's concept and storyline. "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 everything they have been sent to Earth to do.
That's why it's important to watch BOTH versions.
As you might have noticed, EXO is known for their vocals and for their dancing. As an SM Entertainment group it's really no surprise that the members are all amazing vocalists and dancers because that's just a fact about the type of people that SM selects to be a part of its company. SM has become known for its amazing vocalists and dancers and that is why it's one of the big 3 entertainment companies in Korea and around the world.
EXO currently has 9 members (originally 12) and all of them are amazing vocalists, however, 2 are considered the group's main/lead rappers (Chanyeol and Sehun), but there are several other members that are sub-rappers as well. If you follow SM Entertainment groups, you will soon discover that all of SM's rappers were actually chosen to become trainees for their vocal and/or dancing skills. All of SM's rappers learned to rap, or at least became good at it, after they joined the company. Therefore, all of SM's artists are amazing singers -- being good at rapping is just a bonus. SM is known for having some of the best vocalists and dancers in the industry and the members of EXO are proof of that.
It's very 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 -- 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. There is so much more to EXO's story, "Mama" is just the introduction. If you really want to follow their storyline you will have to really pay attention to every detail of everything EXO has ever done because it's all connected.
You also need to pay attention to the lyrics for "Mama." As you saw, the majority of their chant is in English (the chant is known as a gregorian chant and it is a singing style that is often heard used by Catholic monks): "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. 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 and environmental destruction, 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. 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 that 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.
Also, 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.
By the way, no one has ugly pants (LoL), but the guy you are referring to is Kai (real name Kim JongIn) and he is one of the top two BEST dancers in the entire industry. Hands down he is literally known as the industry's best dancer and that is not just a fan's opinion, he has been given that title by his peers as well. The other top dancer is Kai's best friend, Taemin from SHINee, who is also an SM Entertainment artist.
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 EXO's 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.
But as I said, the one thing you have to keep in mind with all of EXO's MVs, and I really mean all of them -- including EXO's sub-sub-unit MVs and many of the members' solo MVs, as well as SuperM's MVs -- is that they are all connected and they all tell a little more of EXO's story and why they are on Earth, etc.
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 door or gateway, so his stage name is supposed to symbolize his role within EXO's storyline.)
🌪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 who, eventually, leave the group:
🐉 Kris was the leader of EXO-M and he was a main rapper and vocalist -- his power was the ability to fly and his spirit animal was a dragon
💭 Luhan was a main vocalist and his power was telekinesis (The ability to control things with his mind)
⏰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
Just so you know, EXO members hate those pants too.
11:03 thats KAI lmao hahahahahaha that scene is really shocking for people
I had this short moment where I just doubted if this was still the same song 🙈
@@Landyra honestly your reaction is the simplest I've seen so far. There are others who are asking why he do that or what the freaking hell is that lol hahahaha
einnuh _94 haha that is my MOST FAVORITE moment of all i think... started listening them as a metalhead and MAMA breakdown is the reason why I'm an exo-l now
Finally!!!! Wowww 💞 I’m waitingg for this reaction👀 🥺🌸
Yay 🥺🥰💕✨ I’m so happy to hear you‘ve been excited for the video!
Landyra ❤️❤️🥺 im waiting you for react to EXO GROWL MV🌸 ❤️that song is so good 😊
Suho - Water
Xiumin - Frost/Ice
Lay - Healing (Unicorn)
Baekhyun - Light
Chen - Lightning/Thunder
Chanyeol - Fire (Phoenix)
D.O. - Earth
Kai - Teleportation
Sehun - Wind
Former members
Kris - Flight (Dragon)
Luhan - Telekinesis
Tao - Time Control
Youre doing a great job in understanding the concept and the history of exo haha lol... thats me when i first knew them its kind of headache but its not refretful.. thank u and welcome to this exo planet
I LOVE YOUR REACTION AND HONEST OPINION! I would love to see you react to EXO winter songs in the future!! They are great!!!
This song is literally a hit or miss to others. SM really do love to experiment with their artists because this was actually one of their most experimental song you can hear it from the way it sounds it has heavy metal (kinda), rock, and a little operatic.
And this was hands down, one of my favorite Debuts from K-Pop because it's not the usual sound or concept a group tackles specially when they're debuting. It's just refreshing to see. And from this, you can really see how EXO has grown much musically.
@Landyra I think the voice you hear distinctly is Baekhyun's while D.O. harmonizes with him. I've also noticed this before when I listened to it (with earphones) on Spotify. As you get to know the group, its members, and listen to their songs, you'll be able to identify their individual sound and voice quality. For me, Baek and Kai's voices are easily recognizable bcs they have that very distinct sound. You'll know what I mean once you get to watch them in variety shows and their live performances where you can actually hear them sing or speak.
Btw, I like how natural your reactions are. Just like what others here said, just be you and react to whatever you like. We're here to enjoy it and hear your opinion (which you say respectfully). They may not always vibe with ours but that's just the beauty of it. You're doing great! 👍😉❤️😁
I've been waiting for this😍
15:30 you are SOOOO spot on. It's crazy. The two exos are EXO-K and EXO-M. In the intro of the mv they talk about two world that see the same sun, etc.
THE GUY IN THE UGLY PANTS FOSNSHWIAHAHAHAHHAA IM ROLLING 😂😂 THANKS THATS DANCING MACHINE KAI 😂
Whenever you see 6 members instead of 12 it's simply because the other 6 appear in the other version of the song. Each version are sang and performed by different members too (Exo-M or Exo-K) so you may sometimes like one version over the other voice wise because they are definitely different despite them performing the same songs. So the best way to react to 12 member Exo would be to react to Exo-K and Exo-M versions back to back in one video. Despite that i personally don't mind if you choose to only react on camera to Exo-K but you definitely need to watch exo-M versions of all Exo-K songs at least off camera so that you can get familiar to Exo-M members too. Otherwise you won't see/hear them much until Exo later comebacks as ot9. Edit:(Btw Exo-M aren't actually "the chinese members". Exo only ever had 4 chinese members which is why Exo-M also had 2 korean members, Exo-M is simply the unit promoting in China, while Exo-K the one promoting in Korea. That's it)
Oh and love that you reacted to the lyrics video too, you should keep doing that (only keeping the highlights of that is a good choice too) Thank's for your reaction!!!!
10:51 basically thats why its titled as EXO K means the 6 members in the sub unit (but all of them danced in the end).
If you are asking to react if you should watch Chinese, its up to you. Basically, its the same mv. A little different of meaning and some scenes but almost the same
“Mama” it is indeed a unique song in Kpop. Like Chen(one of the member) said it tells to world that EXO is coming. “The Eve” (either dance practice video or a live performance is amazing), or “Kokobop” for next? Thank you
EXO MV normal reaction: "I couldn't understand, but I like it" 🤣
There is so many more army reactors are now proudly saying they are exols..Exo music is so addicted you will fall in love there vocals cannot compare with other groups..just watch there live performance..
I hope you can post as early as you can 😊 can't wait for you to react to more EXO songs
I definitely post every Friday at 3 PM CEST, but I'll try if I can manage to finish some videos to upload inbetween in the coming weeks 👀
8:57 "Love that voice"
Is she talking about Sehun's voice? Omg my baby❤
yes , she is love Sehun, Chanyeol, and Baekhyun voice so far😁😁😁
YOUR EXO REACTION VIDS GAINED A LOT OF VIEWS WAAAG 😍💖👏🏻 congrats 💖💖
Thank you 🥺💕✨
We really have the same reaction when i heared the mama for the first time HAHAHAHA anyway thank you for the honest opinion.
Now i can’t even skip the ads because it’s exo-sc’s 1billion views. Hope you can react to exo’s subunit soon!
All the ad revenue goes to SM anyways, so you can see it as supporting EXO 👏🏻😅
Exo-M has 4 chinese members and 2 korean members all singing in chinese. The video in the chinese version is with the exo-M members and the difference is just that you see the powers of the exo-M members instead. That's it.
And don't worry i don't really like kai's part either with the whole screaming part even after all these years as an exo-l. Luckily that's the first and last time they ever do anything like that. Haha. And also their outfit styling in their first few years are so horrible. Just wait until you see Wolf omg even exo-ls hate the styling in Wolf.
Looking forward to your next video!
P/s: i'm really sorry for those who were negative to you for not liking crop tops. It's not a look that fits everyone's taste so it's understandable. Hopefully you don't mind them too much. Again really sorry for that.
Welcome back and thanks for the info 🤗💕 The negative comments are luckily only a few, most of you guys have been really nice ^-^
I totally agree, some of their outfits looked so weird and funny. However, It couldn't success to hire EXO's beauty.
I have to say the screaming grows on you.
I like the screaming part 🤪
@@Landyra exo-Ls are friendly we always avoid the fanwars(true exo-L)
Thanks for reacting to exo!! ❤️
in the dance break, 4 of them are from EXO M (Xiumin, Lay, Luhan and Tao, Luhan and Tao is the former member of EXO which is part of the dance line), you watched the EXO K's version while the other members are in EXO M version, i recommend you to also watch/react the EXO M's version because it's so rare to find a channel who also reacts for EXO-M version.
also in the near end of the MV, you can notice that EXO M members appear in the video
11:58 - 11:59 that is Tao (former member from EXO M) Power: Time Control
12:05 that is Kris (former member and leader of EXO M) Power: Flight/Dragon
12:14 The white one is Luhan (former member of EXO M). Power: Telekinesis (example Floating)
12:16 That is Xiumin ( a korean member of EXO M and the oldest member of EXO) Power: Ice
12:22 That is Lay (the remaining chinese member of EXO M who is inactive nowadays but he is still a member) Power: Healing
12:31 the downward is Chen (a korean member of EXO M) Power: Thunder
12:33 the upper one is Kris again
I really enjoy your reaction!!! The first time I listened and saw MAMA I was in shock with their outfits I the pants... Kai's screaming with tatoos. But the song it's really nice you have to see EXO M version to understand better the concept and pay attention to the lyrics the lyrics
loved this! i always find myself looking forward to your reaction videos bc it actually feels like you're genuinely interested and not doing it just for views! i'm also still relatively new to the fandom but from my understanding the "two forces" aren't necessarily good and evil. they're just counter parts of each other living in parallel universes (bc they divided the tree of life in half) in some shots they'll show you exo-k members looking at their counterparts in exo-m (12:16 & 12:24). hope that helps somewhat! more power to you!! already looking forward to your next reaction video!... and p.s. the guy in the "ugly pants" who you thought dances pretty well is kai! 😂☺️ xx
aaaah I’m so happy to hear you‘ve been looking forward for my videos 🥺🥰🥺
EXO debuted as 12 members and there were 2 sub groups. EXO-K and EXO-M. EXO-K with 6 korean members (Suho,Baekhyun,Chanyeol,D.O.,Kai and Sehun) promoting in Korea and EXO-M with 4 chinese and 2 korean members (Kris,Luhan,Lay,Tao,Chen and Xiumin) promoting in China. They started to be seen together in an MV during Wolf Era I guess bec there's always a different MV for K and M. After a couple of songs released the chinese members left the group.
Right now we have 9 members in total.
3 members are in the Military
1 member is in China bec of Hallyu Ban
This MAMA MV brought me to kpop world. I think, for me, this is the best debut song that I've ever watched! The most epic and catchy as a whole.
Their basically an Idols at the same time an good Actors by the way I love your'e reactions😊🤗
MAMA is like mother of earth since they're down to earth from EXO planet, they have some mission to make the world better
Love your reactions I also love that you're exploring outside of bts unfortunately not many people do that you should give Golden Child a listen they are extremely good preferably Wannabe, Without You, and One (Lucid Dream) which came out a few weeks ago.
omg, u should try to do a exo series :) growl, wolf, history, all the old songs :)
I'm actually surprised that you already like it at 1st watch. It's kinda weird for me when I first watch it, especially the cult-like scene. haha eventually I loved it, they're just pure talent especially their vocals. Looking forward for more reaction videos
Exo’s debut was one of the most anticipated and expensive debuts in kpop history
Me being a stan since 2013 still get chills down my spine when listening to this. Like I just meet my ultimate crush and i just froze, got butterflies in my stomach and goosebumps, i mean i still fell inlove with this song everytime I heard this. And of i agree, when you hear this you'll feel nostalgic too. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the reaction, I really enjoy it
This self intro was cute 👏👏
🥺🙈 thank you!
10:42 that shot has that dance line members from EXO, 2 were from K and the other 4 were from M. They used that shot for the EXO-M version.
Thanks for your reaction, i hope next your reaction, you reaction exo live concert
I just watch your exo reaction from the start RN hahahahha
I really like your reaction on Exo's songs its really my make me so happy thank you
Happy to hear that 🙏🏻💕
Thanks Landyra for responding. I really hope that you can check out mama exo- m because they are a part of exo too, and i really love them.
In EXO-M, there are 4 members from China : Lay, Kris, Luhan, Tao..
And the two of them : Chen and Xiumin are Korean...
Kris, Tao, and Luhan left the group, and Lay be the one and only member from China right now...
U know what, SM always did different things, concepts, groups, type of musics.. thats why SM is the pilar of Kpop... SM always be the trendsetter as a company and the artist from SM individualy as well.
SM always lead each generations...
Love EXO, and especially Love my big family, SM Town..
Agreeee
hi thanks for the video reaction to EXO 'MAMA'
everytime I look at this MV I realize something, that me and these 12 people grew so much. old song but still historic for exo-l
Wish you could check out and react on their GROWL and POWER songs too..
Anyway its nice that a fan from a certain fandom like you, is trying to check other kpop group songs and so much thanks that you have chosen EXO.
Lols i love how you reacts on our boys voices, specially CHANYEOL whom you have pointed out on your 2 previous vid.
Waiting for more vids from you girl 😊
As ExoL i really like your reaction not cuz you are army but cuz you are honest and you say your opinion.
last year sehun and chanyeol(you mentioned that they have nice voice whan you are listening to mvs) formed a sub unit EXO-SC they released their new album with title song 10 billion views do watch it their old songs like what a life and we young new songs telephone honestly their every song is amazing and baekhyun ,you said he is good looking and cute, he released his second solo album delight and title song candy has two versions do watch them and his first album unvillage also you will fall in love with every song of them and solo songs of vocal king chen you must listen to every song by exo as agroup or sub unt or solo they are amazing not only as a group but also individually super multi talented. suho exo leader also made solo debut with self potrait and exo another sub unit EXO-CBX ALSO HAS A SONG CALLED hey mama MAY BE U CAN FIND WHAT YOU EXPECTED WHEN YOU LISTEN TO MAMA WORD IN THEIR SONG.LAY chinese member of exo also is a soloist his new album LIT is also new its really an awesome album you have to see that MV its awesome your jaws will be opened wide. since you are into kpop so much exo is a highly recommended and must watch group exo and bts are close too they talk to each other very well .you can listen to every song every song is an epic you find every song interesting and also do listen to exo winter albums too i am recommending their songs because they can be chosen acording to your mood they are so comforting some times encouraging or gives us hope or faith or gives us energy and interest that is why i like their songs if you are a music fan, i mean not only as a handsome group, i recommend that exo is required in your life. sorry if my english is bad this is my first longest comment but i wrote this bcoz i want you to listen to their songs not only pop songs they sing as a group but also many meaningful songs they have amazing vocals too they can sing just like that any song in any posture like sleeping or eating exols know more about these they dont do much advertisement or they are mostly famous in korea so you might not know them well but once you got obsessed with their music you can feel what exols feel
Also, originally when EXO debuted, there were 6 members in the Korean section of the group and 6 members in the Chinese section of the group.
I think you should react to their latest single, OBSESSION, you could clearly see their powers although only 6 members were present
This song "Mama" help them to get artist of the year right after their debut..
I highly recommend Mv Power...it so catching and cute💚
The man in the pants is a dancing machine, he is the role model of idols now
EXO is the best group in whole K-pop industry. Best vocals, best music, best solo, ect.
I would highly recommend you EXO - Wolf MV and live in Tokyo dome(there are all 12 members in the MV) on live there are only 9. I find out about EXO on 2017 because I've watched a chinese drama with Luhan(ex member) without knowing anything about this group but when I first listened Wolf and Monster I felt in love with them and especially their vocals, I think they harmonize so well together just mind blowing. Baekhyun is my fav singer, but I also appreciate Chen and D.O vocals a lot. Chanyeol is my bias in EXO but all of them are adorable and talented. Check out EXO-SC(Sehun and Chanyeol) - We young, Closer to you; Sehun - On me and Chanyeol - Nothin. P.S I saw you always like Chanyeol, he is super talented, you can start the guide with him, you'll see how many talentd he has, impressive really.
There is also a Chinese ver. of mama mv which is played by exo-m ..this was exo-k
Love your reaction huhu :) 💜
youre literally so sweet
Thank you 🥺🥰
U should see the sub..
This song said
Mama(god) why we can't love? Is there was beautiful time before?
- we should be human cuz we hurt and cry..
- no feels no care just the shit language everywhere.
-they left there hearts.. They don't care now.
- We live in world with 1.0 every day begin so lonly.
- someone with mask on his face hide his eyes thats wanna to kill!
- war!.. This not a game!.
-mama( god) tell us we can change if we want.
Great reaction! And just state your honest opinions! No one likes people who are fake.
- ugh i still love MAMA so much till this day. it is very epic sounding
- you're right, exo-m members will sing the mandarin version, k members sing the korean version. when you listen to them, it's very interesting to hear how different their combined voices sound for each unit. exo-m seems to have a higher tone, and exo-k a lower tone. at least from what i noticed
- took a long time for me to be able to 'accept' that screamo portion of the song. i didn't like it at first too lol
- i still hate those 'low crotch' pants
Hope you check out 'Lucky One' or 'Love me right'! I like EXO's funky side a lot so i really love these two title tracks. Not sure if you're into ballads, but i hope you check out their winter title tracks like 'Universe', 'Sing for You', 'For Life'.
This song SOO EPIC, I really like it that time was a heavy song and new , but it’s the most EPIC and LEGENDARY debut in kpop in my opinion, i mean the intro and the vocals and visuals etc
And if I’m not mistaking this is still the most expensive MV debut in kpop
