Jessica Estrada-Peña I know!! I LOVE both equally because this is probably my favourite EXO song ever, tbh. But oml! Chen's voice is SO powerful It's scary, and beautiful, and enticing, all at the same time. Kyungsoo's voice is amazing on the Korean version, but damn! Chen did something extraordinary at that part.... overall, it's SUCH a good song.
I was listening to this song on the city bus going home today. The bus made a stop by an intersection, and there was a woman standing there, who was on her phone just chilling/waiting, I guess (I thought she was waiting for the light to turn so she could cross). The song had gotten to the end where Baekhyun slays your soul with that high note at the end of the Korean version. At the stop, a man had gotten off with lots of luggage and a construction hat attached to a backpack. I don't know whether this was planned from the heavens, of this was just a huge coincidence, but when Bacon hit that note, the man and woman looked at each other with SO much genuine happiness, and they had a very long and tight embrace. I don't why, but it was just so powerful and wonderful. I don't know whether they were in love/together or if they were just good friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time... (Maybe a bit of both because when they stopped hugging, he was showing her his tattoos on his arms; almost as if he didn't have them before when they had last seen each other. She looked kind of surprised, but when she looked back at him, she started to smile again). It was soooo sweet! Lol, I might just be making it a MUCH bigger deal than it is, and I don't even think the story in the song is close to the same as what I saw. But all I know is that the whole scene was just so beautiful and now What If (and all EXO songs in general), have me DEEP in my feels, contemplating life and What Is Love (mind you, that was the next song that came up on my playlist), and stuff, haha XD
These lyrics were sadder than the korean version. thats so amazing that this situation can be presented in two ways. same story but seen different. of course there is some overlap but it isjust beautiful! !
2:06 Omg, I absolutely lose it at this part. Tao's emotion is so overwhelming and the control he has over his voice and singing is so TT_TTTTTT I wish he had gotten to sing MUCH more in EXO!!!!! He has such a beautiful voice and I wish it had been shown more!!!!!!!!!

.....sorry for bringing up Luhan, but I just can't help it :( it's been two months since this^^ comment but I still feel a little sad, even until now :c
"Despite the distance, my heart will always belong to you" ... CHEN MY HEART YOU BEAUTIFUL PIKACHU YOU- My feels my damn feels, oh my goodness I feel attacked by Chen, D.O, & Lay & in the Korean version D.O, Suho & Chanyeol ... I somehow feel like I'm playing them all- TTTTT
The eyes staring into my soul during the chorus are the best. They make the song sooo much more intense! This is my favouite Chinese version of ANY of their songs; like I have never had this version on repeat so much. Chen slayed that high note!! And they all sounded amazing! This was SO good. Both versions of this song are SOOO beautiful, like I wanna cry. EXO needs to make an R&B mini album just for the hell of it, because when they do these types of songs (i.e. Moonlight, Christmas Day, etc.), they ALWAYS sound super good. Ugh! This is too good.... (And is Xiumin the 4th pair of eyes down, starting from the top? Because whoever those are, their freckles are killing me! XD)
GIRL YAS! All of this. Especially about the R&B mini album. You just named all my jams (all these and My Turn to Cry by them ) If they do that I'll die happy.
Heart Eyes Kai Yesss girl! After this song song, My Turn To Cry is my all-time favourite song by them. But for reals, that R&B album would be SO blessed! They are so talented, it would totally work.
Fay Musaed Not to say that I don't appreciate the creator putting the work into translating this, but speaking from a Chinese speaker, this translation is pretty inaccurate in several parts. No offense.
Fay Musaed My bad. Did a quick search and some of the other translations were even worse. I would create a translation video myself but I don't know how to edit videos. :/
vwtrghldifuhert you can make it a blogpost or sth like that. Sorry, I'm a beginner Chinese speaker and I got help from Google Translate (which is not reliable at all) with this, so please excuse the inaccuracies ^^
Chen and Lay's parts are angelic ,D.O too. Its ok I watched this songs live version Chen has very little part there but he was enjoying so much with Chanyeol . His high note is really so powerful yet beautiful . I like if he too can sing that part live,same with the eldorado version. Baekhyun does it so good, so I just once only to see Chen sing this live once. I love all of them but for me I m addicted to Chen's voice more .
Wu yifan, Luhan, and now Tao....... to me, exo m seem so empty without the three gone. I miss them dearly. But I know in my heart they are ok and moving forward with their heads high. Wu yifan, Luhan, Tao, I still believe in you. Never give up hon your dreams ok.
Am I the only one fangirling over tao's singing voice? I'm kyungsoo biased but I think he couldn't really show all he has bcz of the language limitation.. I would love to listen to lay and tao more.. Their voice are really sweet! :)
Linh Tran yeah but xiumin gets more lines than xiumin sometimesxD like lady luck but sad they didn't let him sing here:/ idk if they were choosing voices that suited this song
내가여기있는이유는그덴대 i think xiumins better than suhoxD cus he did win 2nd in the singing competition while suho trained for 7 years cus he didn't know how to sing in the beginning yeah xiumin and d.o are around the same but i think its cus xiumins voice just doesn't suit certain songs:/ like hyoyeon in snsd can sing well but her type of voice don't suit the songs well so they give her little lines
I think that this was the cool thing about Exo. If I wanted a rougher and intense tone, I'd go to EXO K. If I wanted a smoother and fluid tone, I'd go for EXO M.
I know this is a late comment, but reproducing my comment in "What if" Korean version's video... This is kind of a R&B song, right?! IMHO, It sounds like "How You Gonna Act Like That" and and "Speechless", both songs sung respectively by the R&B singers Tyrese and Ciara! Great song by EXO though!
@@lsamoa Crossroads was more of a rap song than R & B because of the delivery of the lyrics but the sound was more R & B especially the beginning of the song.
I only have a very tiny amount of Chinese in my blood line but I love Asians and their music. very beautiful language. The Chinese are very talented and amazingly smart as is with all Asian people. Very nice music
I know it's sad Xiumin didn't sing and some people are annoyed about D.O. being here, but looking at it from a producer/musician perspective goes a bit like this: Xiumin's voice is good, but it's often very light and high and almost airy in the slower songs. Now, really listen to this track. Hear the deep and soulful instrumentation, the heavy bass beat that thrums in your ears. Think about what type of voice would suit such a song. D.O.'s voice is much darker and richer than Xiu's. It melds with the instrumentation but also stands out strongly enough on its own. So don't kill me, but I kinda like that the vocals like Tao and Xiumin had minimal lines in this because there are others that work better with this style of music. I'm not biased towards anyone but Chen, so I'm able to look at these sorts of things from a fairly neutral point of view (even when Chen is involved, because there are pre-OT9 songs I actually prefer the Korean versions of). These are just my thoughts on the matter, feel free to disagree.
Sylfei I totally understand what you're saying and so I'm not arguing with you at all, just staring my personal opinion and any hostilities go to SM because fuck SM :) anyways I see what you're saying and it makes perfect sense, but SM is known for never giving Xiumin and Sehun (he's not relevant for this song tho) any lines, so Xiumin not getting any lines falls too perfectly under that umbrella again for it to be a purely unbiased producer/musician standpoint. If he got around the same amount of lines as the other members in the other songs, then him not getting any lines in this song would make more sense if it really was coming from that standpoint of his voice not fitting the song. However, that's not the case, and even though D.O has an incredible voice that does really fit the song well, there were plenty of other places where Xiumin and Tao could have sung. I think SM is just not the best company at really caring about each individual member, they just care about producing the best sound and while that's of course not a bad thing to care about, it becomes an issue when that's the only thing they care about and they constantly give more lines to the same members over and over again just because it worked in the past. Xiumin and Tao's voices could have worked beautifully for this song especially if they were worked with and helped to sing with a deeper tone for even just this one song (more for Xiumin, Tao's voice is already fairly deep), but SM didn't want to even give them a chance because they knew D.O could do it, so why experiment? Anyways, again I'm not arguing with you, totally understand what you're saying, I just hate SM. That's it lol
i dont like when people points out that because of D.O sang this the chinese members is being deprived. you may argue on your bias but dont put the blame on d.o because song arrangement is not a decision of the singer alone but includes all management etc. Its unfair to make them feel bad for singing their own song. dont give that points because if I as a fan was hurt can you imagine how hurt kyungsoo will be when he read those kinds of comments.

only because you dont understand the language. his pronunciation is messy i cant bear to listen.

Tao's voice is so asdfghjkl but they should have let Xiumin sing.
Maybe because D.O.'s pronouncation is better than xiumin thats way SM put d.o. there. Maybe
They all have flaws in other languages I still wanna hear Xiumin.
Your translation for the song make sense, unlike the other translations I've read so far. Keep up the good work!

so xiumin doesn't sing?0.o
i think xiumin could've done d.os parts
even tho i love d.os voicexD
igot7-lu xiumin is like the equivalent of Sehun for Korean versions. I think both of them should be given more parts T_T
Linh Tran yeah but xiumin gets more lines than xiumin sometimesxD like lady luck
but sad they didn't let him sing here:/
idk if they were choosing voices that suited this song
Xiumin sing very well like Suho or D.O , But the reason that his little parts is his voice can't be sweet. :((
내가여기있는이유는그덴대 I actually like suho's voice a loooooot :D
내가여기있는이유는그덴대 i think xiumins better than suhoxD cus he did win 2nd in the singing competition while suho trained for 7 years cus he didn't know how to sing in the beginning

This song reminds me when I was going to see my boyfriend and currently even though I'm still with him the song still hurts
Lay is my safe place whenever I miss Luhan's voice
I wonder if ‘siseon’ in Korea have the same meaning in Chinese ‘视线’😄 as the pronunciation is just same.
OHMYLORD I HATE MYSELF BECAUSE I JUST FOUND THIS ON 2019 WTF EVEN KOREAN VER MAKES ME CRY SO BAD, PLUS THIS? SOMEONE HOLD ME 😭
i dont like when people points out that because of D.O sang this the chinese members is being deprived. you may argue on your bias but dont put the blame on d.o because song arrangement is not a decision of the singer alone but includes all management etc. Its unfair to make them feel bad for singing their own song. dont give that points because if I as a fan was hurt can you imagine how hurt kyungsoo will be when he read those kinds of comments.
D.O is still in here. I love D.O !
Oh my god my heart
Interesting differences in lyrics between the Korean and Chinese versions. Does anyone know which version was written first?
开 腊月 💎😘
