I’m so glad to hear that through SuperM, more people got to know my NCT boys, Taeyong, Ten, Lucas, and Mark did extremely well and they are very comfortable with the hyungs.
SuperM was created by SM Entertainment in collaboration with Capitol Records in the U.S. This group features 7 of the best of the best when it comes to dance, vocals, rap and performance in Kpop. The members of SuperM are some of the absolute best from SM Entertainment's most popular groups. Baekhyun who is one of the best vocalist in the industry and Kai who is one of the top 2 dancers in the industry are from EXO; Taemin is the other top dancer in the industry with one of the most well respected solo careers and he is a member of the legendary group SHINee; Taeyong is the leader of NCT and he is known for his dancing and rapping and Mark is the main rapper from NCT-127/NCT-U; and Ten is the main dancer and lead vocalist and Lucas is a rapper and visual of NCT-U/WayV. SuperM debuted in the U.S. in October 2019, so that is why all of their main track songs and MVs are mostly in English because "Jopping" was meant to by their foyer into the U.S. music market. SuperM are considered the Avengers of Kpop because the group is so multi-talented, with some of the most influential idols in the industry, representing multiple nationalities and Kpop generations, who are poised to take over the world. Mark is Korean-Canadian, so his native language is English. And WayV is the Chinese sub-unit of NCT, so not only does Ten and Lucas speak Korean and English, but they also speak Mandarin. Ten also speaks Thai because he is from Thailand and Lucas speaks Cantonese because he is from Hong Kong and a little Thai because his mom is Thai. And although, Baekhyun, Kai, Taemin and Taeyong are all native Korean, they also speak many other languages. For example, Taemin and SHINee are very popular in Japan, so he is fluent in Japanese as well. Baekhyun has been chosen as the leader of SuperM. (Baekhyun is also the oldest member at 29 and Mark is the youngest at 22) However, Taemin is the one with the most seniority in the group. Taemin is only 28 years old, but he debuted 4-10 years before any of the other members of SuperM. Taemin debuted as a member of SHINee in 2008 when he was 14 years old, so he is a super senior member of the group. In other words, as part of the hierarchy of respect, Taemin is the one everyone looks up to. Which, might be why Taemin was chosen to play such a major role within the group's storyline, and why we have seen him prominently featured in almost everything to do with SuperM. It is said that the concept for SuperM is supposed to be like the Avengers, so, I see it as each of the members are a different kind of superhero that make up the larger "Avengers" group, just like how the Marvel Avenger members come together from all walks of life with all different abilities and powers, etc. to make up one big supergroup. I think the concept of the group all stems from EXO's concept and storyline. As you may know, the members of EXO are all supposed to be aliens from Planet Exo, and each of the members has a superpower that is specific to them. From day one, EXO's story has been that they were sent to Earth on a mission to find and protect the Tree of Life from the Red Force, while also trying to fix all the things that are going wrong in the world, which are thought to be caused by the Red Force. As a member of EXO, Baekhyun has the power to control light and Kai has the power of teleportation, so those powers are nothing new for them. However, the concept of superpowers is new for all the other SuperM member (You will see the other member's special powers and abilities if you check out all of their teaser videos which were originally released leading up to the release of "Jopping.") So I think because Kai and Baekhyun are part of the group, SuperM's storyline is tied to EXOs storyline. I think SuperM are supposed to be coming together to fight the Red Force and to prevent or stop them from corrupting and taking over the world, etc. And just like the Marvel Avengers members each have their own Superhero story, when they come together to form The Avengers they combine their story and concept and weave elements of each of the member's backstories into The Avengers storyline. I see SM Entertaiment doing the same thing with SuperM. Also, just like how the Marvel Avengers come together to combine their strengths and powers to help fight Thanos, I see parallels with what SM is doing with SuperM's storyline. SuperM is taking the "best" members from each group and joining forces to take down the Red Force. And just like how the movies "Avengers Identity War" and "Avengers Endgame" eventually had each of the Marvel Avengers members recruiting their whole crew to help in the fight, I think SM is setting it up so that all of its groups' members will eventually be brought into the fight. Some fans who are into SM group theories have also speculated that NCT's dream concept and storyline also connects to EXO's storyline, just like how many believe that Red Velvet is connected to EXO's storyline -- it is believed that SM's girl group Red Velvet, EXO's sister group, may be the Red Force. I think that SM may even have set it up so that at least all of their third generation groups -- and now even fourth gen. groups, with the introduction of aespa -- have storylines that connect, link together and intertwine. And although NCT and SHINee don't have a backstory that has anything to do with being Superheroes in the same way as EXO does, I find it interesting that, for example, NCT and WayV have songs called "Superhuman" and "Take Off" which both have sort of superhero type themes in their MVs, and one of Ten's solo songs was called "New Heroes". With what I know about SM, it wouldn't surprise me if this is something they have had in the works for a really long time and they probably have been creating ways to foreshadow things to come in SuperM that create connections between the members and their original groups. One thing SM has mastered since the creation of EXO, is how to tell a story and how to create a mystery that connects even the most minute of details together to build an epic adventure for fans. SuperM's storyline is already connected to EXO's storyline, and I think SM may be working on expanding the story to its other groups, in the same way that "The Avengers" connects all the individual superheroes' stories when they come together to form The Avengers. If the SuperM Avengers are coming together to help EXO stop the Red Force, I think the members who are part of SuperM are the liaisons who are helping to connect all the groups -- EXO, Taemin/SHINee, NCT and WayV -- together. For example, right after SuperM released "Jopping," WayV came out with their MV for "Moonwalk" and I think the story in their "Moonwalk" MV is a continuation of "Jopping's" storyline, and now I think WayV's "Turn Back Time" MV is also part of that story.
To help explain, I think EXO, as members of SuperM, are working with the other "Avengers" members to try and stop X-EXO. (X-EXO are EXO's alter ego clones) If you pay attention to what Kai and Baekhyun are wearing in "Jopping," their outfits are very similar to the all black outfits they are wearing in EXO's "Obsession " MV -- Kai even wears the same parachute backpack in both MVs -- which seems to indicate then that the version of Kai and Baekhyun in SuperM are the EXO members who are the good guys. Because in "Obsession" the members in all black are supposed to be EXO and the members in the colorful outfits with the crazy hair and makeup are the X-EXO members who have been created by the Red Force. So on that note, I think people need to pay attention to all of the storylines with all of SM's groups, because I think at least all of SM's third and fourth generation groups' MVs and storylines are being designed to connect stories and plots. Each group has their own individual storyline and concept, but when you put them all together, there are threads of connection between the groups. And that includes EXO, Red Velvet, NCT/WayV, aespa and maybe even Taemin's solo work, and possibly even SHINee. Even though SHINee are second gen, they actually fit within the age group of third generation groups, so they sort of bridge that gap between 2nd and 3rd gen. And now I see connections being made with SHINee's most recent "Don't Call Me" and "Atlantis" MVs, as well as aespa's MVs and NCT-127's "Save" MV, and even SM's older groups, such as Super Junior's "House Party" MV., etc. It is becoming clear that SM is designing the SM Universe to include all of its groups and it is tying all of their storylines together. If you have seen SHINee's "Don't Call Me" MV you might remember that we see the SHINee members at one point go through some sort of wormhole as they are teleported somewhere and we see them all posing in all black outfits. This looks very similar to the scene in SuperM's "Jopping" MV when the SuperM members are coming together at the beginning of "Jopping" as they are teleported or travel through the wormhole. So, it looks like maybe SHINee are preparing to eventually join in the fight as well. And you will see instances in WayV's MVs, such as "Moonwalk," where it looks as though Ten and Lucas are there to gather the members to bring them into the battle, and in "Turn Back Time" it looks like the WayV members are all beat up like they have been in a fight, etc. It's all part of SM's SM Culture Universe storyline.
A bit about EXO: They debuted with a really complex storyline that's actually really interesting if you like kpop lore. One of the main factors that even ties into their solo work and even SuperM is that each member has a power. For example, Kai is teleportation and that's why he teleported into the shot at the beginning of "Jopping" and in his solo work he's also teleporting. The concept of powers is only a small part of their group's stroyline, but it's honestly so iconic that even non-fans know about it. I suggest checking out guides if you are curious because every single member is talented af. Like you can't really see just how talented just by their group work sometimes (for example, one of their rappers named Chanyeol singing with that low tone of his stops my heart). Some tracks if you wanna check out what EXO is all about: - Tempo - Monster - Obsession - Call Me Baby (a classic) - Overdose (another classic) - Power (has my favorite MV because it's unique and kinda weird) - Universe (GORGEOUS vocals) - Miracles In December (Winter track from early days) - For Life (the winter song that sealed them as one of my favorite groups and helped me pick a bias) *Their winter albums are top tier by the way. The best winter albums of any kpop group in my opinion. Some solos/subunit suggestions: - Kai - Mmmh (I can't stress how iconic this way) - Kai - Peaches (his latest track I'm currently obsessed with) - EXO-CBX - Paper Cuts (the live stage from Magical Circus is where it's at) - Suho - Let's Love (gorgeous song by their leader) - Chen - Beautiful Goodbye (Chen is the Nation's Main Vocalist tbh) - Xiumin - You (this is my bias and his vocals are gorgeously soft) - Baekhyun - UN Village (the song that outed every idol's dating spot) - Lay - Honey (not promoting with them due to issues b/w China and Korea, but he's INSANELY popular) **I highly suggest checking out solos from all of the members if you like them
Thank you so much for this!! We are definitely gonna fall down the EXO train someday soon. They all have powers???!! That's so cool and definitely explains a lot about this concept! If they all have powers, I'm assuming most of their songs are pretty edgy/badass, which makes me increasingly more excited to check them out (even though I also love ballads, I love watching edgier MVs and the concepts that come with them) -erin
I’m so glad to hear that through SuperM, more people got to know my NCT boys, Taeyong, Ten, Lucas, and Mark did extremely well and they are very comfortable with the hyungs.
The fact that this group has members of my three favorite groups
EXO(ultimate fav group)

Some tracks if you wanna check out what EXO is all about:

- Monster
- Obsession
- Call Me Baby (a classic)
- Overdose (another classic)
- Power (has my favorite MV because it's unique and kinda weird)
- Universe (GORGEOUS vocals)
- Miracles In December (Winter track from early days)
- For Life (the winter song that sealed them as one of my favorite groups and helped me pick a bias)
*Their winter albums are top tier by the way. The best winter albums of any kpop group in my opinion.
Some solos/subunit suggestions:
- Kai - Mmmh (I can't stress how iconic this way)
- Kai - Peaches (his latest track I'm currently obsessed with)
- EXO-CBX - Paper Cuts (the live stage from Magical Circus is where it's at)
- Suho - Let's Love (gorgeous song by their leader)
- Chen - Beautiful Goodbye (Chen is the Nation's Main Vocalist tbh)
- Xiumin - You (this is my bias and his vocals are gorgeously soft)
- Baekhyun - UN Village (the song that outed every idol's dating spot)
- Lay - Honey (not promoting with them due to issues b/w China and Korea, but he's INSANELY popular)
**I highly suggest checking out solos from all of the members if you like them
Thank you so much for this!! We are definitely gonna fall down the EXO train someday soon. They all have powers???!! That's so cool and definitely explains a lot about this concept!
