This song is very famous especially among teenagers because of the lyrics, and at that time they performed this song wearing school uniforms.I think exo was the first group performed with school uniform style.That made them so unique.Wearing school uniforms became a trend among idols at that time because of exo(may be i'm wrong) *sorry for my bad english and thank you for loving exo
It was beyond massive back in the day...there were dance challenges around the world, on the streets of Russia, France, China, Argentina, the States, you name it....this is before TikTok was invented. College campuses organized dance covers in huge groups outside on the streets in front of their schools, with tons of on-lookers, and they'd post them online, it was a mega hit and for the MAMA'S (Mnet Asian Music Awards) their first time out for a live performance on the biggest awards show in Asia (as a nominee, like all nominees) Exo as a young, new group, won "Album of the Year", beating out well established artists...a grand achievement for a newcomer...and they continued to win "Album of the Year" for 5 years straight, solidifying the fact that their title tracks were very big hits each year...yes, these awards are not American awards, but from "Growl" on, they became iconic regardless, worldwide, and were in high demand in countries that wanted concerts. SM did not want to promote them in the US, much like the journey Bts took. Exo were stretched to the limit with their yearly schedules as it is at the time, had their share of controversies hitting them at the same time, and wouldn't have had the time to promote in the US...but it didn't make a difference in the amount of fans that were generated in the US...back in the day, it might have not been the right time to promote an Asian artist without serious shade...kpop wasn't a genre that would've been easily accepted back then as it is today. But it didn't stop Exo from touring the States as well as the world, and that's how they garnered their legendary status. No American awards needed, they were making their mark as an Asian artist regardless. And busy af...... 💙🌺
EXO-Growl is the most popular EXO’s song. The album sale was more than 1 million copies. 👍 At that time, EXO has 12 members (4 Chinese, 8 Korean). ‘EXO’ word is for Only Sehun.🥰 Growl MV was long shot. It’s cool. This song was opened everywhere in Seoul. Love this song.❤️ Thanks for reacting this song.🙏

What's even more amazing is after this they released overdose, call me baby and love me right in succession. That's banger after banger after banger. They won artist of the year like 5 times in a row. SM definitely didn't skimp on music production when it comes to exo
*This song is ICONIC.* *‘Growl’ is ONE TAKE MV and this also made EXO famous in East & South East Asia in 2013 and this is actually a like KPOP (STANS) ANTHEM BACK THEN and Korean gps call GROWL their UNOFFICIAL KOREA(N) NATIONAL ANTHEM bc THIS SONG IS MASSIVE you can hear it in S. Korea everyday.. public or private establishment. **#GROWL** is still BIG rn since GPs still listening to it but its not on the charts anymore but as long as kpop stan and gps listening to it, its still known and bc of the impact GROWL made in 2013. Lots of groups been covering this songs for almost a decade now doesn't matter if the group is still a rookie or in the industry for years.* *Its Kai that you said eating it up lol. As you can see **4:56** KAI accidentally drop the cap but the Director said after the mv making, its actually looks natural and smooth move after he drop his cap.* *Yes, all 12 members are here. OVERDOSE make EXO famous outside East and SE Asian countries, CALL ME BABY make them EVEN MORE BIG IN **ASIA.You** will start seeing EXO as 9 members in MONSTER (make them BIG outside Asia)-LOTTO-LUCKY ONE era (2016), 8 members KOKOBOP (this is the first song in KPOP to have Dance Challenge, ppl outside Asia do the challenge some are kpop stan and some are those dgaf about KPOP they're just vibing) to LOVE SHOT (became their HIT SONG Int'l) era (2017-18), 6 members in OBSESSION (2019) and 7 members in DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING era (2021).*
because of growl school uniform in kpop became a trend and still is, exo made huge impact with this song and album which i don't even have energy to list
As you discovered, the performance version of EXO's "Growl" is a one take video, which means that it was shot all in one take without any cuts or edits. However, although it is a one take video, this does not mean they used the very first take, it just means that every time anyone made a mistake they had to start all over again from the very beginning. While filming the one take MV they had to dance the choreography about 7 times and this was the take the director and producer decided to use. They actually danced this choreography for the filming of this MV until they physically could not do it anymore. But not even this take was technically "perfect." If you notice, Kai drops the hat in the middle of the dance in the Korean version and he smoothly bends down and picks it up. (The stealing of the hat is actually part of the choreography.) He needed the hat at the end. But because it was done so effortlessly that most people don't even notice the mistake, or assume it's just part of the choreography, they decided to use this footage anyway. And if you watch the Mandarin version, if you look closely, you will see Suho steps on Sehun's foot. :D. In the beginning of the performance MV you start out by seeing 6 of the members and as the camera spins around you see the other 6 members. In the Korean version, you see the EXO-K (Korean) members featured first in the two groups. and if you watch the EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese) version, you will see the EXO-M members featured more prominently. (Anything that takes place before 2014, you will see all 12 members involved.) Yes, there were several rappers featured in "Growl" because there are multiple main, lead and sub-rappers in EXO. The way EXO was originally designed when they were OT12 was that each member in EXO-K has/had a partner in EXO-M that fills the same role in their respective group. For example, Chanyeol is the main rapper in EXO-K and Kris was the main rapper in EXO-M; Sehun is the lead rapper in EXO-K and Xiumin is the lead rapper in EXO-M; Tao was also a rapper/vocalist in EXO-M, however, his vocal counterpart was Suho, who is a lead vocalist in K (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 odd men out, they were put together); Baekhyun is the main vocalist in K and Chen is the main vocalist in M; D.O. is the other main vocalist in K and Luhan was the other main vocalist in M; and Kai is the main dancer in K and Lay is the main dancer in M. However, what is even more impressive about "Growl", is the fact that they filmed 4 versions of the "Growl" MV, so not only did they have to perfect the dance in the Korean performance version, but they also had to do it again in the Mandarin version and then again in both the 2nd MV versions. And it wasn't like they could use the same footage because the Korean and Mandarin versions aren't exactly the same -- the EXO-M and EXO-K members had different parts in each of the MVs -- so that just adds another element to this. EXO actually filmed 5 different videos for the song "Growl." There is still one more video that was released as part of their "Wolf" and "Growl" promotions. There is a drama video that combines their two songs "Growl" and "Wolf" and it's like a mini K-drama that is more like a movie or TV show with a complete story and the members playing characters. Here is a link to the full "Growl" and "Wolf" drama version, ruclips.net/video/sFCvZUSnuus/видео.html. Plus, there are several iconic live performances of "Growl" as well.
If you notice, the camera movements are actually part of the choreography, because the camera is another character in the performance. The camera is supposed to represent the girl that they are singing to. So that is why they are looking at the camera so intensely because they are trying to get the girl's attention. They are each trying to impress her with their moves. If you look up the English translation of the lyrics for "Growl," you will see they are pretty much acting like a wolf or beast, that can no longer control themselves around the girl and they are warning her to be careful because all she does is make them want to growl and grab her and possess her, etc. "I’m warning you just in case (listen carefully) It’s dangerous now (so dangerous) Stop provoking me (there’s going to be trouble) I don’t even know myself ... My breath keeps on stopping You walk towards me You smile at me Maybe you’re attracted to me too .... A dark shadow has woken up inside of me Sparks fly in my eyes as I look at you Everyone step away from her (step away) It’s going to get fierce from now on I’m growling, growling, growling I’m growling, growling, growling I’m growling, growling, growling If you don’t back away then I don’t care if you get hurt ..." etc. As mentioned before, the "girl" that EXO is always singing about and you sometimes see in their MVs is a manifestation of the heart of the Tree of Life and that is why the members are always rescuing or protecting the girl, etc. And why all their songs are about being in love with a girl or being controlled by the power of the girl, such as in "Overdose" for example. Or how they talk about knowing they are bad news for the girl but they want her anyway and they can't help it, but in the end they know they might destroy her -- as they say in "Monster," etc. etc. When you think of the girl as the heart of the Tree of Life the mystery begins to unfold even more.
EXO got so good at this choreography that they were able to perform the whole thing live on award shows and music programs just like they did in the MV while singing live as well. You should also check out their Beauty and Beast performance at the 2013 MAMA Awards to see how impressive they perform the full "Growl" choreography live with all the members, ruclips.net/video/ycql_T6Fc9c/видео.html. "Growl" and their one take performance is what launched EXO into superstardom and it's what made them the most popular group in Korea. It's one of the reasons why the government has given EXO the title of Korea's national Idols. However, "Growl" came out in 2013 about a year after EXO debuted, and up until that point EXO weren't very well known or popular. When they first debuted, many people called them "SM's biggest mistake." Because the concept of them being aliens from Planet Exo and the fact that they were designed specifically to debut in both Korea and China and several foreign Chinese members were chosen specifically to make up their own sub-unit, etc. many people had a hard time understanding how EXO would ever be successful. The group started out being branded as SM's first failure, and they thought Lee SooMan (the founder of SM) was crazy for coming up with the group. But when the one take video for "Growl" was released, everyone began to take notice. This video was pretty groundbreaking, no group had done a one take video quite like this and it proved to the mainstream audiences that SM really did know what they were doing. Now everyone in Korea and around the world knows EXO and they have become one of the most popular groups that are one of the biggest money-makers for SM. "Growl" has become what they are most known for. EXO even performed this song at the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in 2018, and it was one of the theme songs that could be heard throughout the Olympics that year.
The 'who's this?' rapper was Kai. Although Chanyeol is the main rapper, when they began, Kai had a lot of rap parts, he's very good. Over time Kai has got more and more confident with his vocals so that now he does more vocals and Sehun does more rap with Chanyeol.
This revives Kpop - Exo is the perfect gateway of 2nd gen to 3rd gen of kpop. Imagine being million sellers in the world where kpop is not yet wildly recognized internationally and being called the national anthem of Sk says a lot
"EXOOT12 " I missed them together 🥺 "GROWL" Rejoining with all 12 members, EXO is continuing their massive takeover of the charts with this very song. Released on the 5th of August, the band has been been topping charts with their latest song. The group has wowed fans with their new song and style of their music video taken in one shot. Yeah, sorry about the lame introduction. Growl is included in the repackaged album of their first album .. I like the hip hop feel of the song which is completely different to other songs. I also do like the instrumental. It seems poppy and really like how it is upbeat at some parts and then slow at others. The chorus is pretty catchy especially the “Na eureureong eureureong eureureong dae” part which is really catchy. . Yes you saw the EXO sign when you reacted CALL ME BABY, 😅 Thank you so much sir 🙏
Growl - the ones you didn’t recognized are Luhan, Kris and Tao (they were part of the group as the “M-EXO” (Chinese Mandarin) along with Lay, Xiumin, and Chen. “K-EXO” (Korean group) Suho, Sehun, D.O, Kai, Baekhyun, and Chanyeol Please watch “EXO Mama”
This MV is one take ( they film it many times and this is the best take) Sehun says the " E.X.O" every time ( korean version back in the day) and each album has at least 1 song that has it. Growl was the comeback for the repackaged X.O.X.O album ( wolf album) wolf gave EXO their first win and Growl stablish them as the top kpop boy group and first group in like 20 or so years in selling 1million copies. Japan Stages get blocked very very much, and so does comeback stages of most TV channels ( specially Mnet countdown) Seoul concerts are a bit more better at that. Wolf and Growl are lyrically connected they are part of exo parallel universe were they are wolves ( warewolves) The rap part in order in the MV were "E.X.O" by Sehun, followed by Chanyeol, Kai and Kris Wu. Now Kris part is sang by Sehun. While kris part in Wolf is sang by Chanyeol. The one you confused with Lay is Tao and the one with pink hair is Luhan. I enjoy the live versions of any of the songs recorded during ot12 better cause, as someone that been with EXO since 2011, I don't like listening to the ex members. Too much pain lived because of them.
GROWL is the hit song of EXO just a year after their debut. This song made them big in South Korea. This was a “one shot Music Video”, them doing it first in kpop industry plus EXO also popularized the school uniform thing. They’re indeed a trendsetter. Growl also is THE MOST COVERED KPOP SONG since its release up till now. The reason why Growl became the National Anthem. Name it, from survival shows to year-end music show concerts to award shows, a lot of them boy groups even girl groups covered this song. EXO’s songs really are timeless. Thank you for this reaction. I enjoyed it. Also, their Growl version at MAMA2013 is amazing too. It was one of my favorites OT12 performance. You should check it out.
As per your last reaction before this one, you can react to Exo's I Heart interviews if you want a different content, Exo Arcade 1&2 seasons series won't be blocked if your react to them here too. If you want to get familiarized with Exo back in the Growl days hsfsgs you can react to Exo on Weekly Idol 2 appearances, they won't get blocked!
About the I Heart interviews, there are 2 with the group but none of them contain Lay, but Lay has also his own I Heart interview with Ellie Lee, so you can react to it too hehe
I know the video looks chill watching it this in 2022 but during 2013 the 360degree choreography + camerawork and one-take video for this was FREAKIN FIRE when this came out, we was pretty shookt and impressed so was the whole of s.korea😂 not a lot in kpop had used the technique back then yet😭🤣
Growl>>>>>>>>> whole KPOP It revived kpop, kpop album sales. The school uniform concept became a trend for the whole kpop industry. Every single group till now has covered this song at least once. It charts without any reason. Basically this song saved kpop & sk from draught & give SM hefty amount of money to buy a whole a** building. Feeding the country & keeping the lights on, EXO & GROWL DID IT YEARS AGO!
Growl called the national anthem bc was so popular at that time. And with this MV the school uniform become a trend in Kpop. Whole This mv shooting one time
Hello, thank you for reacting to EXO. Try to upload the reaction of the live again please or upload it on your instagram. you can't leave us like this! 🥺🙌
did you know kyungsoo put the growls in growl?! ^^ you should watch the exo's 10th anniversary fan event (the full thing if you find it anywhere xD) but if not, here's a 1min snippet of the boys talking about how kyungsoo changed the song for what it is now: ruclips.net/video/HsaUXPZjmTg/видео.html i'm super proud of this little nugget that might have changed exo's life with just that!
Amazing reaction my friend!!....You are the right person to make a reaction video and give us your opinion about this incredible singer...In 2017, the music world was shocked by the bursting onto the scene of a 22-year-old singer named Dimash Kudaibergen, who performed on the famous Chinese competition show for professional singers called “The Singer”... It was just it was necessary for this young man to make his first appearance, making a cover of one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse", to be considered from that moment on as the best singer in the entire planet....No one in the musical field had ever seen a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges above 7 octaves and several semitones, that is, all 88 keys of a digital piano, which reaches a little more than 7 octaves and as if that weren't enough, sing the more than 12 languages...Since then all kinds of experts (Vocal coachs, singers, musicians, analysts, singing teachers, youtubers, reactors, etc.) have dedicated themselves to reviewing their presentations to try to understand how someone can sing this way...The incredible thing is that that presentation in China was in 2017 but what Dimash has done in these 5 years is to further improve his wide vocal range, which is currently practically above of the 8 octaves... The Covid pandemic stopped his concerts worldwide, all with tickets sold in just seconds, via the internet, but at the same time it ended up catapulting him to the top of popularity worldwide...Anyway, since I think you are one of those reactors who have not yet met this impressive singer, here is the link of that presentation in China in 2017, with the song S.O.S. and I would like you to mention my name as the person who recommended him to you...You have to be prepared because your channel will explode with an avalanche of views, comments and new subscribers....I leave you one more recent video than the others, so it does not have the same number of views as the previous ones, which have millions of views, but it is a more complete video, with an intro, subtitles in several languages and with the improved quality of audio and sound....ruclips.net/video/bDX3FhmyNac/видео.html
Man if you don't know... just listen MAMA - EXO-K and HISTORY - EXO-K, you will love it both songs... Obs: Have too the version from EXO-M, totalizating 4 MV on total.
Is Korea's national anthem, it still hold it's place today. I mean EXO didn't just perform it at the 2018 Olympics for nothing. This version of the mv was done all in one take btw, only EXO I tell ya. You should've also watched the 2nd version of it, is so underrated ruclips.net/video/AUs-hBjU9w8/видео.html you can't get enough of it. Growl opened the doors for the future of kpop & only EXO could've made it work & so they did. 'Nough said.
Would've loved to watch the reaction on live performance, but oh well. (just like the el dorado reaction vid got blocked. waaaaaah) Keep on spamming on EXO, we (eris) like that sht. LOL
Try blurring it a bit or write smthg over it because EXO's Japan Lives are the BEST! The MV was a One Shot so it was Iconic. The song his Korea very hard that it was called Korea's National Anthem and other groups started doing the school uniform as well.
While we’re here at 2013 era, you should go check also the EXO Drama Episodes 1 and 2. It’s composed of snippets of their songs from XOXO album (Wolf era) with a story line of their concept. Hope you could react to it too.
Growl is became the national anthem in Korea. This song is timeless. Well, most of EXO songs are. I guess just like LoveShot, its most popular.
This song is very famous especially among teenagers because of the lyrics, and at that time they performed this song wearing school uniforms.I think exo was the first group performed with school uniform style.That made them so unique.Wearing school uniforms became a trend among idols at that time because of exo(may be i'm wrong)
*sorry for my bad english and thank you for loving exo
Oh GROWL the Korea national anthem 😄 this one take video is amazing! Look out for the "ghost" and when Kai dropped his cap in the MV! 😉
Info❗Growl Mv was taken in a one-shot sequence. As in no cuts; the transitions consist of camera shift but not cuts. This is so insane And love it!
It was beyond massive back in the day...there were dance challenges around the world, on the streets of Russia, France, China, Argentina, the States, you name it....this is before TikTok was invented. College campuses organized dance covers in huge groups outside on the streets in front of their schools, with tons of on-lookers, and they'd post them online, it was a mega hit and for the MAMA'S (Mnet Asian Music Awards) their first time out for a live performance on the biggest awards show in Asia (as a nominee, like all nominees) Exo as a young, new group, won "Album of the Year", beating out well established artists...a grand achievement for a newcomer...and they continued to win "Album of the Year" for 5 years straight, solidifying the fact that their title tracks were very big hits each year...yes, these awards are not American awards, but from "Growl" on, they became iconic regardless, worldwide, and were in high demand in countries that wanted concerts.

This video was pretty groundbreaking, no group had done a one take video quite like this and it proved to the mainstream audiences that SM really did know what they were doing. Now everyone in Korea and around the world knows EXO and they have become one of the most popular groups that are one of the biggest money-makers for SM. "Growl" has become what they are most known for. EXO even performed this song at the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in 2018, and it was one of the theme songs that could be heard throughout the Olympics that year.
This song iconic dude. Keep listening exo please
Growl was the gateway to my nine-year obsession with EXO.
Exo my babies😍
The 'who's this?' rapper was Kai. Although Chanyeol is the main rapper, when they began, Kai had a lot of rap parts, he's very good. Over time Kai has got more and more confident with his vocals so that now he does more vocals and Sehun does more rap with Chanyeol.
We just love your reactions to EXO. Keep 'em coming!!
This song will never get old. It will always be relevant
This revives Kpop - Exo is the perfect gateway of 2nd gen to 3rd gen of kpop. Imagine being million sellers in the world where kpop is not yet wildly recognized internationally and being called the national anthem of Sk says a lot
Most iconic EXO song, queen growl
l lovee your exo reactionsssss
This song and the whole album revives the album sales in SK. All million seller idols rn should say: Thank you Exo. Exo paved the way ✅
GROWL >>>>>>>>>>>>
They performed Growl and Power in the closing ceremony of Winter Olympics 2018, you might want to react to it since you have watched both songs now ♡
Up..
Uppp!!!!
Upppp
up
you should see this performance
This song is what made EXO popular👐🏻
THANK U, WE LOVE EXO FOREVER.
A curious fact is that at this minute 4:57 ,Kai's cap fell off and since everything was in one take, he just kept on dancing.
"EXOOT12 " I missed them together 🥺
"GROWL" Rejoining with all 12 members, EXO is continuing their massive takeover of the charts with this very song. Released on the 5th of August, the band has been been topping charts with their latest song. The group has wowed fans with their new song and style of their music video taken in one shot. Yeah, sorry about the lame introduction. Growl is included in the repackaged album of their first album ..
I like the hip hop feel of the song which is completely different to other songs. I also do like the instrumental. It seems poppy and really like how it is upbeat at some parts and then slow at others. The chorus is pretty catchy especially the “Na eureureong eureureong eureureong dae” part which is really catchy. .
Yes you saw the EXO sign when you reacted CALL ME BABY, 😅
Thank you so much sir 🙏
Growl - the ones you didn’t recognized are Luhan, Kris and Tao (they were part of the group as the “M-EXO” (Chinese Mandarin) along with Lay, Xiumin, and Chen.
“K-EXO” (Korean group) Suho, Sehun, D.O, Kai, Baekhyun, and Chanyeol
Please watch “EXO Mama”
This MV is one take ( they film it many times and this is the best take)
Sehun says the " E.X.O" every time ( korean version back in the day) and each album has at least 1 song that has it.
Growl was the comeback for the repackaged X.O.X.O album ( wolf album) wolf gave EXO their first win and Growl stablish them as the top kpop boy group and first group in like 20 or so years in selling 1million copies.
Japan Stages get blocked very very much, and so does comeback stages of most TV channels ( specially Mnet countdown) Seoul concerts are a bit more better at that.
Wolf and Growl are lyrically connected they are part of exo parallel universe were they are wolves ( warewolves)
The rap part in order in the MV were "E.X.O" by Sehun, followed by Chanyeol, Kai and Kris Wu. Now Kris part is sang by Sehun. While kris part in Wolf is sang by Chanyeol. The one you confused with Lay is Tao and the one with pink hair is Luhan.
I enjoy the live versions of any of the songs recorded during ot12 better cause, as someone that been with EXO since 2011, I don't like listening to the ex members. Too much pain lived because of them.
Stand up for the national anthem!
Btw it's 2022 and there are still kpop groups doing a cover of Exo's Growl. GROWL IS THE NATIONAL ANTHEM OF KPOP... Bro they did it!
Growl built one of SM Entertainment's building 😁
FUN FACT !! THIS MV IS ONE SHOTTED
Next Exo wolf 😍
The national anthem ♡
you’ll love the boys more when i get to know their personalities~~~ they are so different from when they’re on stage~~
GROWL is the hit song of EXO just a year after their debut. This song made them big in South Korea. This was a “one shot Music Video”, them doing it first in kpop industry plus EXO also popularized the school uniform thing. They’re indeed a trendsetter. Growl also is THE MOST COVERED KPOP SONG since its release up till now. The reason why Growl became the National Anthem. Name it, from survival shows to year-end music show concerts to award shows, a lot of them boy groups even girl groups covered this song. EXO’s songs really are timeless. Thank you for this reaction. I enjoyed it.
Also, their Growl version at MAMA2013 is amazing too. It was one of my favorites OT12 performance. You should check it out.
Some kpop Stan be saying exo are no longer popular but Everytime you search exo you will always get anew content from fans
It hits hard when he said "a decade late" because I am too
Oww i wish i watch your reaction to growl live so much... but thank you for always apreciate EXO..
Es una canción iconica de EXO🥰🎵 la coreografía excelente y el MV realizado en una toma, acá estaban los 12 miembros 😁
Thanks for reacting to EXO, love that this was a one shot m/v!!
As per your last reaction before this one, you can react to Exo's I Heart interviews if you want a different content, Exo Arcade 1&2 seasons series won't be blocked if your react to them here too. If you want to get familiarized with Exo back in the Growl days hsfsgs you can react to Exo on Weekly Idol 2 appearances, they won't get blocked!
About the I Heart interviews, there are 2 with the group but none of them contain Lay, but Lay has also his own I Heart interview with Ellie Lee, so you can react to it too hehe

I know the video looks chill watching it this in 2022 but during 2013 the 360degree choreography + camerawork and one-take video for this was FREAKIN FIRE when this came out, we was pretty shookt and impressed so was the whole of s.korea😂 not a lot in kpop had used the technique back then yet😭🤣
It’s pretty dope :)
Growl is the national anthem in korea ❤️
you can react to the Seoul version if it's from the Elyxion concert so it wont get blocked, the audio is better you can hear the vocals clearly
EXO-GROWL
Did you noticed that Kai's hat dropped at 2;14 sec ....He managed it with his style...fact: It is a one time shot mv
FINALLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYY
Thats what i was waiting for....your reaction to this legendary song 😁😁
I can’t believe you’re just now getting to Growl 😆
tks for reacting to Growl❤
Growl may not have a lot of views but it's like the national anthem of Korea because at that time k-pop wasn't very popular
And streaming in yt is not major activities among kpop stans. Just enjoying the music.
@@2ne1xblackjack6 I miss the old days when we were just enjoying music and caring about talent not who's the most famous group
Yay for another EXO reaction!!
Brock paused the vid at Chanyeol’s 3mins and 1sec. Legendary. 😂
its a one-take shot so its almost live with respect to choreography
Next Miracles in December PLEASE ♡
Growl>>>>>>>>> whole KPOP
It revived kpop, kpop album sales. The school uniform concept became a trend for the whole kpop industry. Every single group till now has covered this song at least once. It charts without any reason.
Basically this song saved kpop & sk from draught & give SM hefty amount of money to buy a whole a** building.
Feeding the country & keeping the lights on, EXO & GROWL DID IT YEARS AGO!
Growl called the national anthem bc was so popular at that time. And with this MV the school uniform become a trend in Kpop. Whole This mv shooting one time
i love your journey with exo so far☺

did you know kyungsoo put the growls in growl?! ^^
you should watch the exo's 10th anniversary fan event (the full thing if you find it anywhere xD) but if not, here's a 1min snippet of the boys talking about how kyungsoo changed the song for what it is now: ruclips.net/video/HsaUXPZjmTg/видео.html
i'm super proud of this little nugget that might have changed exo's life with just that!
PLEASE! Watch an updated EXO guide!
I like the way you include Lay while 8 members are clapping on the start part of every Exo video. Thankyou for your reaction.
Growl dance practice is really good.
Love
This mv is ONE TAKE ONLY
"I'm 21 What the h*ll!" That burst me out laughing. I'm 21 as well and I always think I'm 20 hahaha
Amazing reaction my friend!!....You are the right person to make a reaction video and give us your opinion about this incredible singer...In 2017, the music world was shocked by the bursting onto the scene of a 22-year-old singer named Dimash Kudaibergen, who performed on the famous Chinese competition show for professional singers called “The Singer”... It was just it was necessary for this young man to make his first appearance, making a cover of one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse", to be considered from that moment on as the best singer in the entire planet....No one in the musical field had ever seen a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges above 7 octaves and several semitones, that is, all 88 keys of a digital piano, which reaches a little more than 7 octaves and as if that weren't enough, sing the more than 12 languages...Since then all kinds of experts (Vocal coachs, singers, musicians, analysts, singing teachers, youtubers, reactors, etc.) have dedicated themselves to reviewing their presentations to try to understand how someone can sing this way...The incredible thing is that that presentation in China was in 2017 but what Dimash has done in these 5 years is to further improve his wide vocal range, which is currently practically above of the 8 octaves... The Covid pandemic stopped his concerts worldwide, all with tickets sold in just seconds, via the internet, but at the same time it ended up catapulting him to the top of popularity worldwide...Anyway, since I think you are one of those reactors who have not yet met this impressive singer, here is the link of that presentation in China in 2017, with the song S.O.S. and I would like you to mention my name as the person who recommended him to you...You have to be prepared because your channel will explode with an avalanche of views, comments and new subscribers....I leave you one more recent video than the others, so it does not have the same number of views as the previous ones, which have millions of views, but it is a more complete video, with an intro, subtitles in several languages and with the improved quality of audio and sound....ruclips.net/video/bDX3FhmyNac/видео.html
waiting 4 another exo reaction
It's not too late for us to appreciate EXO their music is timeless in anyway so it's ok 😉
You must listening love me right too
Please react to Exo's 'Winter Olimpic 2018 closing ceremony' performance
you should reaction EXO's Growl MAMA 2013 performance
This MV is one take
Man if you don't know... just listen MAMA - EXO-K and HISTORY - EXO-K, you will love it both songs...
Obs: Have too the version from EXO-M, totalizating 4 MV on total.
It's Korea's 2nd national anthem 🤷🏼♀️
And fyi, this is a one take video.
Is Korea's national anthem, it still hold it's place today. I mean EXO didn't just perform it at the 2018 Olympics for nothing. This version of the mv was done all in one take btw, only EXO I tell ya.
You should've also watched the 2nd version of it, is so underrated ruclips.net/video/AUs-hBjU9w8/видео.html you can't get enough of it. Growl opened the doors for the future of kpop & only EXO could've made it work & so they did. 'Nough said.
This clip was recorded in one outlet
Would've loved to watch the reaction on live performance, but oh well. (just like the el dorado reaction vid got blocked. waaaaaah)
Keep on spamming on EXO, we (eris) like that sht. LOL
Try blurring it a bit or write smthg over it because EXO's Japan Lives are the BEST!
The MV was a One Shot so it was Iconic. The song his Korea very hard that it was called Korea's National Anthem and other groups started doing the school uniform as well.
Over dose and Call me baby
Love your reactions..
Im a big EXO-L..but like Stray kids as well!
Oh it's massive. It's the one sing that kicked started Halyu from 60-100 back then. It's a cultural movement. An institution at this point.
Now you listen to Growl and power so please react to EXO in winter Olympic 2018. It's a banger. Really cool
While we’re here at 2013 era, you should go check also the EXO Drama Episodes 1 and 2. It’s composed of snippets of their songs from XOXO album (Wolf era) with a story line of their concept. Hope you could react to it too.
Please react to baekhyun CANDY. thanks for the reaction
Please listen to (Oh la la ) it's one of their great song...
If I'm not mistaken, Growl is one of Korean national anthem right?
Love your reactions! And it’s definitely not to much EXO or Stray Kids spam 😅 they are my top fav groups too.
It’s okay. I think you were confused with the names because they looked so much younger.
