Personally I never noticed any mis-synchronization to this choreo! Not saying there wasn’t any but this song and the strength of the choreo stand out as legendary to me! I love the lyrics and the strength of the vocals. The rap was super fire! 🔥 If I had to pick anything missing it would be more of their gorgeous visuals hidden by all the darkness! But without the darkness there wouldn’t be any mystery and monstrous shadows depicted in the lyrics! This song started me down the path of loving EXO!
Totally agree with you ❤ I share the same opinion. The lighten did their visuals no justice although I get that why it was done that way because of the concept.
I know when you see the word "K-pop" one thing that comes to mind immediately is hardcore dancing and super in sync. EXO are great dancers but most of EXO choreo caters for them to still sing stable when a live setting is required. Most newer groups these days have really hard dance moves that it's impossible to stay stable while doing those hard moves resulting in just either lip syncing to studio version, pre-recorded edited vocals, or loud backing track to be able to do the performance without sounding unstable or breathless.
Kpop was never "super in sync". That's a trendy misconception. If people want an extremely synced choreo, then they'd watch an actual dancing crew performance. There are almost no kpop group whose synchronization matches at the level of dance crew. & Even if there's any, they usually sacrificed good singing technique or actual live singing for that. Bcus it's just impossible to do both, at 100% max power. & by kpop standard, EXO's synchronization is pretty damn good.
Watch the dance practice for this song. Also watch the OBSESSION video by EXO. Their videos usually have some kind of story behind them (like here, Baekhyun seems like he’s the enemy the whole time, but it turns out he’s an undercover agent who’s part of the resistance).
You're right about the camera work for sure! most companies didn't start using the robot arm cameras, like the colossus/MIA/RED/etc, for music videos until a bit later (like a year or two later I think?) so it's not too surprising that some of the choreo shots aren't exactly what you'd think considering it's from 2016. also if I remember correctly, since this was filmed with some of the members in different places/countries, the scheduling was weird and very tight, aka not enough days to stay up all night to get enough takes for a more perfectly synchronized shot either. most mvs used the be shot over 2 days/nights, whereas now it's usually 3-4 days/nights or more sometimes, depending on the complexity of the mv storyline, number of locations, or size of the company (aka budget). not trying to excuse anything at all. exo are good dancers, but they're a more vocally focused group first and foremost, like most groups at SM are. they tend to be good dancers, but they're not built to be amazing dancers as a whole (though they have a few specialist dancers in the group for sure). the vocals and overall performance live comes first and dance second, at least for exo anyway. for the newer gen SM groups the standard changed somewhat to fit the trends in the industry, but I digress.
You will not be disappointed getting to know exo. Their vocals are known to be really good, and their discography is really cool. you have to check their live performance, their voices is even better live than studio version.
this was the song that got me into K pop....in my top 10 favourite. EXO is a power group they are so talented. Obsession, kokopop, the Eve, pappercut (live) , etc you have to see it
Tbh, their sychronisation is good, they just never really cared unless that's the main point of choreo. Most of the time, they prefer on live singing too, so unless it is absolutely needed, they forgo the synchronisation 😂
I love EXO to death and im so happy you are checking them out. But I do agree their synchronization isnt highest quality. Its not bad but you can definitely noticed it sometimes.
Monster introduced a lot of new fans to EXO back in the day - I was one of them! To this day, monster is still *that btch* tbh, never fails to get me hype ^^
Hate hand-held camera, at weird angles, moving around all the time, with obscene amounts of cuts to hide bad dancing and whatnot, I LOVE that this does NOT have all that. And EXO does NOT really hide their dancing or certain members cuz they might be slightly less on point than the rest. On the contrary, you will easily see anyone take centre stage anytime, and that's one of the things i LOVE about them that they do differently from basically every other group. I don't know what is not in sync in this video, certainly nothing obvious. Plus their choreographies tend to have them dancing in pairs or groups all the time, they are not all supposed to be doing the exact same thing all the time, which can make them look more out of sync when you cut to them moving in the middle of dancing etc. Also I'd rather they are not in perfect sync at times than see any of those things i mentioned at the beginning, which i also have never seen anyway.
You better pay attention to the vocals rather than choreo. Cause EXO is more vocal based group. Their choreo might not always be that "perfect" but the vocals are always on top. Vocal kings indeed.
Thank you for your reaction! This is the song with which I met Exo, so good that you liked it! I expect more reactions from our guys, their songs and their live performances are amazing! ❤️✨
I miss Lay being in EXO but he is still with them in spirit. He was the last Chinese member to go back to China. The member still are in touch with Lay and he with them. I think this was the last album he participated in. Any how, happy 12 yrs EXO Ls it is been a long ride but we made it! Check out their new single Love Fool!
still remember the excitement and amazement i had for this mv ! it's so good and thrilling . Haha it's the first EXO song i waited to stream as soon as it come out . at that time, streaming were not a thing like today where fandom competing each other for views within 24 hrs. EXO were at peak of their popularity and they totally deserve it. SM did dirty on them with 3 years hiatus . It took a hit in their popularity i mean new tides are moving too fast in this industry. However, i believe EXO still deserve more attention from people because of their talents.
you need to see TEMPO by exo, the sets are beautiful! there's so much lore in the details too, i wonder if you're gonna be able to understand bits of the story just from that...
This music video is good but you need to watch Lucky One, I feel like there's only 10 people that remember that music video because it was released the day before Monster
Maybe try to watch some of their dance practice for monster and if your still not your cup of tea, try other dance practice like electric kiss,lalalala or the eve😊
yes but you see they FOCUS more in singing since they are singers they still about dancing and performance but not as much as their vocals you should watch their concert live
Hope you see my comment. 😂 Please react to “SWEET LIES” both lyrics and live performance. Just want to show u kind of different feeling with r&b bside song by EXO :)))

You summoned up my thoughts and opinion perfectly. Especially the darkness stuff.
Totally agree with you ❤ I share the same opinion. The lighten did their visuals no justice although I get that why it was done that way because of the concept.
me too... this is the song that lead me yo EXO
@@Lucky_zonnebloem For me it was Call Me Baby first and then I found Monster! Then Growl, Overdose!
Chanyeol's point-blank refusal to do that crazy leg move is the only nonsynchronous part to the choreo I ever clocked.
