kai actually dropped his hat on accident but because he was so smooth about it & the mv is a one shot (so hard to film) they just kept going. & because of how popular growl was/is its not only played a lot but its covered A LOT by rookie groups so its not surprising you've seen or heard it. the tattoos you see in the ko ko bop video are not real but chanyeol does have a few tattoos in real life. A lot of exo's older mvs also have two versions, a korean version and a mandarin version (exo-k & exo-m) if you want to watch them on your own. they are a bit different. call me baby has a Chinese version too you should definetely check out "overdose" & some of lay's solo stuff like "honey" or "what u need"
This 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. They had to dance this choreography about 7 times and this was the take the director and producer decided to use. They actually danced this choreography until they physically could not do it any more. But, if you know what you are looking for, you will see that not even this take was technically "perfect" because, as you noticed, Kai drops the hat in the middle of the dance and he smoothly bends down and picks it up. 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 its just part of the choreography, they decided to use this footage anyway. In the beginning of the MV you start out by seeing the 6 EX0-K members and as the camera spins around you see the 6 EXO-M members. During this time there were 12 members in EXO and you see all 12 member in this MV. You are watching the EXO-K version of the song so you see the EXO-K members featured first. If you watch the EXO-M version you will see the EXO-M members featured more prominently. As you know, when EXO debuted they had 12 members and they were split up into 2 groups. EXO-K, which sang their songs in Korean and promoted in Korea, and EXO-M, which sang those same songs in Mandarin Chinese and promoted in China. EXO-K was made up of 6 Korean members (Suho, Baekhyun, D.O, Chanyeol Kai, and Sehun); and EXO- M was made up of 4 Chinese members (Kris, Luhan, Tao and Lay) and 2 Korean members (Xiumin and Chen). However, in 2014 Kris and Luhan left the group and Tao left in 2015. So, as you know, now EXO has 9 members. However, what is even more impressive is the fact that they also filmed a Mandarin version of this song and MV, so not only did they have to perfect the dance in the Korean version, but they also had to do it again in the Mandarin version. And the Mandarin version isn't exactly the same, because the EXO-M and EXO-K members had different parts in each of the MVs, so that just adds another element to this. You should also check out the Mandarin version to see the differences. All of EXO's MVs have both a Korean and a Mandarin version and each of the MVs are slightly different. So its worth checking out both versions. Plus, this will give you a chance to hear what the songs sound like in both Korean and Mandarin. EXO actually filmed 5 or 6 different MVs for the song "Growl." As you probably noticed when you searched for this video, they have a Korean performance version, which is the version you watched; an EXO-M Mandarin Chinese version; an EXO-K 2nd version and an EXO-M 2nd version, which are more like traditional MVs with a little more of a storyline; and they also have a drama version that combines their two songs "Growl" and "Wolf" and its 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. Its less then 10 minutes long, but it tells an interesting story. Plus, there are several iconic live performances of "Growl" as well.
You need to look up the lyrics to Growl to really understand the song, but pretty much they are saying "Girl stop tempting me, you are so sexy and beautiful that you make me want to Growl." You are mine." "Girl you take my breath away and make it so I can't control myself." "When you are near, all I can see is you." etc. It's kind of about love at first sight. 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. You should check out their Beauty and Beast performance at the 2013 MAMA Awards to see how impressive they perform "Growl" live. ruclips.net/video/ycql_T6Fc9c/видео.html "Growl" and this one take performance is what launched EXO into super stardom and its what made them the most popular group in Korea. Its one of the reasons why EXO is now Korea's official national Idols. "Growl" came out in 2013 about a year after EXO debuted, and up util 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 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 last year.
This video has all the 12 members but in the first part, all 6 of them were not in exo-k, cause Xiumin, Tao and Chen who are in Exo-m were there too. They just mixed up K and M members, 3 in both the grps so total 6😁
@@preetbarot9093 You are right, I sort of misspoke. But what I meant to say was, that the EXO-K members are the first to sing in each group in the EXO-K version because its the EXO-K version. :D
Maybe you saw growl in the Olympic winter because they perform it there last year or maybe you hear it in some tv show cuz the mentioned this song a lot😂💞
EXO's concept is that they aliens from EXO planet who have arrived on earth, so each of them have a set of powers. Xiumin - frost, suho - water, lay - healing, Baekhyun - light, Chen - electricity, Chanyeol - fire, D.O. - earth/strength, Kai - teleportation, Sehun - wind. (ex members : Luhan - telekinesis, Kris - flight, Tao - time) So you can see glimpses of their power in each of their music videos. In Kokobop, the EXOs are high on some kokocandy so their powers have gone out of control. If you notice, Chen is playing with electric wires, D.O. fell down & the ground cracked, Suho is sitting on water in the washing machine, kai floating, crackers at the end show light & fire ~ for Baekhyun & Chanyeol & so on...thats what the whole Kokobop mv is about, them losing control over their powers. If you try & link all the exo mvs they form a story which the exols have been trying to figure out thus giving rise to numerous exo fan theories. Thus this is EXO in a nutshell. I hope this was helpful.....& no Sehun's tattoos aren't real :)
their songs and dance moves might be familiar to you because many other kgroup do covers of EXO songs. and you can see in most auditions that EXO songs and dances were used by candidates. So don't be shocked to see other kpop group doing EXO covers because most of them are proud EXO fanboys. FYI, growl was only shoot by single take.
"the fact that they don't have a bad song" So true, their discography is ~8 hours And there's not a single song that I skip... Every song is a blessing to the ears
Well - I'm still not a fan of Wolf (although it's great LIVE) - and the Lightsaber MV is the most disappointing mv of all (they had all those special effects for MAMA but a Star Wars inspired mv gave us guys in a 7-11) - but yeah EXO has so many great songs
"Ko Ko Bop" was the first comeback where Lay was not able to participate with the group so there are only 8 members here. This was the start of when Lay was no longer able to work with EXO. As the Chinese member of the group, the political issues between Korea and China has prevented Lay from being able to participate in any activities with the rest of EXO. "Ko Ko Bop" was he first time we started to see just how difficult it would be for Lay to work with his Korean members within a Korean company. Starting with EXO's War and Power albums you won't see Lay in anything that EXO does, except for a brief 10 second cameo in the Korean version of EXO's "Tempo" MV and you will see and hear him for a a brief moment in the Mandarin version of "Tempo." Lay had to get special permission from the Chinese government to be allowed to even appear in the Tempo MVs and, even then, he wasn't allowed to work with the members. All of his parts had to be recorded as a solo and inserted into the MV and song, that is why you never see Lay dancing in "Tempo" or in any scenes with the other members of EXO. The Chinese government is preventing Lay from being able to work with EXO or do anything in Korea because it has banned its native mainland Chinese citizens from working with or participating in anything that has to do with Korea. Lay is one of the most famous celebrities in China right now, so everyone wants to work with him. He owns his own record label/studio in China and he produces his own music, as well as music for other artists. Plus, he is, or was, a youth ambassador to China appointed by the government, which means he has a lot of obligations in China. He is considered China's national producer. He is also an actor and he is a spokesperson for a lot of Chinese products and causes -- he is the EXO member with the most endorsement deals. He is also a host of reality programs and is appearing on numerous variety shows in China, so this all keeps him very busy. He is one of the most sought after celebrities in China so he spends a lot of time living in China and away from the other EXO members. Because of his super busy schedule and because of, as I mentioned, some issues between the Chinese and Korean government, Lay has not been a part of EXO activities for more than 3 years now, other than, as I said, his cameo appearance in the "Tempo" MV and his brief vocal part in the Mandarin version of "Tempo" MV and song. His hiatus from EXO is not something he has chosen, but its something that has sort of been forced upon him by the government. So he has recently been working hard to find ways around those restrictions, which explains one reason why he has been releasing so many English songs lately. By producing songs in English for the U.S. market it allows him and SM to do collaboration projects which give him a chance to keep his connection to EXO, without actually breaking any rules, and it allows SM to connect the stories in his MVs to EXO's storyline. Now, I am no where near an expert on the topic, and I admit that I only understand a very minor part of what is going on between the Chinese and Korean government, but as I understand it, part of the reason for the ban on Chinese and Korean workers between the two countries is that China is refusing to align itself with the U.S. or South Korea to protect themselves with deployment of the THAAD missile defense system in South Korea. North Korea and China want to get rid of the rocket system that is meant to shoot down a nuclear missile if North Korea were to launch one at South Korea or the U.S. Another reason why China doesn't like the THAAD system is because China and the U.S. don't have the best relationship, so if the U.S. and China become on even worse terms China is afraid the U.S. could also use THAAD against them. China says the THAAD system is just provoking them to actually start a nuclear war, and until they remove it or at least move it back from the South Korean boarder, they will continue their ban on Korean products, workers and the Hallyu wave from working in China and for its native Chinese citizens from working with Korean companies. China feels like the Korean government is taking away its native commodities by allowing Chinese people to work in Korea. The issue is even more complicated than this, but that is one part of it. And now, with the recent conflict with the Chinese government and Hong Kong, more political tension has continued to make it difficult for our Chinese Idols to work with their Korean companies and groups. With many Chinese Idols recently coming out in support of the Chinese government and publicly supporting "One China," this has made it once again even less likely that Lay will be able to work with EXO in the near future. With Lay's deep ties to the Chinese government and with the fact that he is one of the most popular celebrities in China right now, he can't afford to be blacklisted by the Chinese government. He needs to be able to work and live in China as freely as possible. So, regardless of how he might feel politically on a personal level, he has to come out in support of the Chinese government publicly, which puts him at odds with many other counties views on the subject. With pressure from the Chinese government, it may have been difficult for him to stay neutral, or at least not make his opinion public, so unfortunately he is now receiving some backlash from people outside of mainland China. But no matter what, Lay always makes sure to find a way to show fans that he is, and will always be, a member of EXO -- he is always supporting his EXO brothers even from afar. Most recently we were able to see Lay back together with the rest of EXO when Lay came to Korea to be there for the day that D.O. enlisted in the military. And in most of Lay's solo work we have nods to EXO and how the stories in his solo MVs are connected to EXO's storyline. He always works hard to remind everyone how important EXO and EXO-Ls are to him. Lay is known as one of the hardest working artist in the industry because he is such a perfectionist and he pretty much does it all himself.When it comes to his solo work If you look at the credits for his albums, Lay actually wrote and composed and produced the whole album himself, including the English lyrics. Yes I am sure he had consultants who helped him find the right words, but if you know him, you know that there is almost nothing that he is involved in that he doesn't have 100% control of himself. When it comes to Lay's solo work he does it all himself -- he writes, composes and produces the songs (including the rap sections), he has a large part in choreographing the dances and he has a hand in coming up with and directing the MVs. There really is almost nothing he can't do. That's including learning English so he could make a crossover into the U.S. music market. Lay was the first EXO member to have a solo career and last year, he became the first EXO member to make his U.S. debut and he produced his first all English album. "Namanana" was a half English/half Mandarin album and it was his American debut release as part of his U.S. tour and promotions. Every Mandarin song on his "Namanana" album has an all English version. He followed that album up with "Honey" which also has an all English version. Because Lay is not allowed to promote in Korea right now, SM has found a way to promote Lay as part of EXO's storyline by partnering with him to release English songs and to tie his MVs in with EXO's story. Everything EXO does, including several of Lay's solo releases ties into the fact that he is a member of EXO -- its SM's way of making sure that even though he might not be able to work with the members right now, that they still make sure to show fans that his storyline and presence as part of EXO is still really important to both Lay and SM. (FYI: "Ko Ko Bob" was part of their War album and it's from the same album as their song "The Eve" which you have seen the dance practice to.)
im telling you.. pls react on KAI'S CONFESSION ... cz your bias is KAI ... nd if you dnt do that .. i thnk you'll miss a ........... wthevr.... do it ... -_- pls ...
Jen just being every Kai stan out here LOL Imagine the shock when she sees how Kai is like off-stage kekekeke Thank you soooooo much for reacting to these 3~~ Good choices!! There's so much more to come and I hope that you eventually get to watch all the MVs and performances AND their personalities off-stage because they are just....you'll see Looking forward to the next video!
.I'm also a late bloomer fan of EXO. I threated Do Kyung Soo / D.O. as my son and not my oppa because he is too young for me haha. I love rhe group and I miss the complete OT9. ☺😊😍
The tattoo isn’t real sehun put another one in We young “chanyeol and sehun song” But chanyeol he is the only member who have a real tattoo and I think he have four or three
EXO is a complete package! They good at singing, dancing, really good looking, some of them also good at playing instruments, making music, acting, modeling.. and the list goes on, stand talent stand EXO
Growl is EXO breakthrough comeback, it's like a national anthem, every Korean-kpoper knows growl and it also got covered a lot by other artists, it's been 6 years already but they actually still do cover it
They use their superpowers in ko ko bop. That’s what’s happening in the song. Exo’s music videos are very well produced. Each detail will make you want to give best mv award to them. For Kai, it’s Kai’s magic. We notice him even he’s in the back. Oh don’t worry. Your pausing is not annoying at all. Thanks for your love for Exo and Exo-L
With the news shared by the rest of the members in Knowing Brother's that Xiumin is first in shooting (always the overachiever, and we love him for that), and DO,s unit being the best fed u ever it in the army, because he cooks for them (his love for cooking is so great, and how well he does it, well the members can atest to that). I mean we get it, and are happy that they are doing so good there qith their fellow soldiers, but we need them back soon.
Yes they don't have a bad songs. That's why they stole my heart. I don't see myself stanning any kpop group but EXO is really exceptional, they are more than kpop.
I don't know why, but being an EXO-L since 2011 (before teasers even came out, if you know, you know) seeing other people react to the older MVs and music makes me so nostalgic and I teared up a little bit. Thank you so much for reacting to EXO!
Do you know this amazing truth?This mv( Growl)is non-stop recording.There was no stopping between recording mv.😻😱 Exo is amazing✨ I like you baby exol😂❤️
I always say it ChanSoo (Chanyeol and KyungSoo/D.O. ) have that deep voice that's deeper than the deep sea (check diamond live and you'll know how deep is D.O.s voice)
Now looking Chanie really became better at dancing. He looks so clumsy here. Note: Call me baby's original name is Call me daddy. You can find the demo version on RUclips. They changed the name so they wouldn't get censored on tv.
Out of the so many reactors, you are the only who notice the part in Growl when Kai's cap fell down, it was really an accident ohmygoosshhh thank you for noticing ittt!!! ❤❤❤
Fun fact: the car Baekhyun leaned on in Ko Ko Bop MV, has a plate number L-1485 (means EXO-L August 5, 2014. It's EXO-Ls birthday) Only Chanyeol (the guy with deep voice, pink haired in KoKoBop) has 5 tattoos :) Call Me Baby was the last song before Tao left EXO, and Ko Ko Bop MV is only with 8 members and first MV without LAY. I hope it's EXO's month. And since its December, you must listen to their winter albums. Its so freaking good. Their songs just makes you cry. For me, The First Snow & Miracles In December are my fav winter songs :)
Call Me Baby is actually one of the song that they sang on their acoustic medley that you've watched wherein Chanyeol and Lay are the one who's doing the guitars.
that candy they're holding in the kokobop mv is drug, and it's like they're hallucinating that's why there's a flying cars, flying burgers, a cloud at the top of the glass. Because they're high.
If you really want to see Kai without a shirt you have to check out his concert performance of "Confessions." Pick the one with the most views, it should be the best version. He performed that song at every concert during their most recent world tour, so there are a lot of different versions. But as the tour went along, his performance got better or "worse" depending on how you look at it LOL. ;P
Kai must have felt super pressured when he dropped the hat because they were doing the whole thing in one shot. They filmed "one shots" like seven times, but imagine if you make a mistake toward the end and everyone has to restart because of you. Fortunately, he's super professional and graceful and quick! I think Monsta X has a short cover of the Growl dance, maybe you saw that? (Most groups have covered it, though. It's the song that everyone in South Korea knows, even if they don't listen to pop.)
to answer your question, those tattoos aren't real! those are just temporary ones and chanyeol is the only member with permanent tattoos :) ps. he has four of them 😉
As you can see, in "Growl" there are 12 of them, but now there only 9 of them, it is because 3 of them leaved the group. Kris Wu (Wu Yifan) Tao (Huang Zitao) Luhan (Lu han) ♥️
Next please check clubbing session which includes Drop that + Keep on dancing + Run + 365. Your mind will definitely be blown up by their energy on the the stage. Next you could react to the cute performance when they were young like Unfair, Peter Pan + 365,.... Cuteness overload! And for amazing vocal, i recommend Wolf in Japan.
As usual I keep requesting the same MVs 🤣 Exo's Lay - Give Me a Chance MV & Honey MV. Exo - Lotto MV Exo's D.O & Yoo Youngjin - Tell Me What is Love lyrics. Pleaseeeeee 💕
Yes, Growl was taken in an abandoned building. If you pay attention, at around 4:32-4:34, in the right window behind Luhan's left shoulder, you can see "something" is in there. It looks like a human shape, but with a very long arms and very odd body. It was so viral and many people considered it as a ghost. P.S : be careful, a lot of growl reaction video got taken down because of copyright.
FYI, EXO HAVE 3 MAIN VOCALIST, WHICH ARE CHEN, BAEKHYUN, AND D.O. THEIR VOCALS ARE REALLY NO JOKE. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THEM ARE GOOD AT SINGING THO. STAN EXO IS THE RIGHT THANGGGG
Chanyeol is the only EXO member with real tattoos. I think he's up to 5 tattoos if I am not mistaken. Loey - The name he uses as a producer. Guitar made out of moons - Personal L-1485 -EXOL's bday (fandom name) he says we'll be on his body forever Sagittarius Arrow - His astrological sign Monkey - His Chinese zodiac animal Dunno if he has more I am unaware of...lol
Erigoms watching new Exo-L 😂😂😂 I wish we could see more videos of people falling in love with Nini as much as we see everyone thirsting for Kai. Not that's it's a bad thing. I'm here for the thirst 100% 😉, stay hydrated folks!
At 17:50 I thought you're gonna pause it because you saw the L-1485 as the car's plate number. L-1485 is EXO-L's birthday. L for EXO-L and 1485 for August 5, 2014. Chanyeol had a tattoo on his hands which is L-1485 and told us that we will forever be with him 'till he die
I kinda wish you watch exo performances in MAMA especially 2016 2017 2013 they're dope I just love your reaction that i don't want it to be just one exo week . Hope you enjoying EXO mvs and concept they're our boys who never disappointed us .
Okay, but I love that you say, "No worries!" after seeing there aren't subtitles/captions. I really appreciate that! It _does_ bother me that only in the last year or two SM has had them on their new music videos, but some people make a bigger deal out of it than needed. Plus, I always have to watch a video at least a second time if there are subtitles because I can't pay attention to everything at once. Growl has all 12 original members. Call Me Baby has 10 members- the 9 current members + Tao right before he left. And then Ko Ko Bop has 8 members- it was the first comeback they had without Lay as an active member. "But I guess I'm like super can't handle anything anymore." RELATEABLE! "I'm a baby EXO-L" JEN! I'm so glad I saw your first EXO video and subscribed! I love seeing people get into EXO, especially since they are my favorite group. But also you are so into it and really show your genuine love and excitement- which it just makes me happy seeing other people happy in that way. This probably sounds cheesy but it's true! And your personality really comes through, too! No, the tattoos on Sehun and Kai are not real. The only member who has tattoos is Chanyeol.
"They don't have a bad song" STRAIGHT FACTS
Yunhyeong's Lipbalm and she didn’t hear the side tracks yet. Real gems are all in every album
I guarantee...exo song all another level
Period!!
+ever👌
It really sounds familiar because GROWL was kind of like a NATIONAL ANTHEMN... It was so popular back then. It is still is though..
Sad but true. Every video 2 members we're gone.
Growl: 12 members
Call me baby: 10 members
Kokobop: 8 members
and Obsession 6 members :(

kai actually dropped his hat on accident but because he was so smooth about it & the mv is a one shot (so hard to film) they just kept going. & because of how popular growl was/is its not only played a lot but its covered A LOT by rookie groups so its not surprising you've seen or heard it. the tattoos you see in the ko ko bop video are not real but chanyeol does have a few tattoos in real life. A lot of exo's older mvs also have two versions, a korean version and a mandarin version (exo-k & exo-m) if you want to watch them on your own. they are a bit different. call me baby has a Chinese version too
you should definetely check out "overdose" & some of lay's solo stuff like "honey" or "what u need"
cm it wouldn’t surprise me cause he’s so smooth about it!
yeah it is a one sho MVt! the show must go on...
EVERY DANDANIES:
"I need him to come back, because i like just need him to come back please please"
This 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. They had to dance this choreography about 7 times and this was the take the director and producer decided to use. They actually danced this choreography until they physically could not do it any more. But, if you know what you are looking for, you will see that not even this take was technically "perfect" because, as you noticed, Kai drops the hat in the middle of the dance and he smoothly bends down and picks it up. 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 its just part of the choreography, they decided to use this footage anyway.
In the beginning of the MV you start out by seeing the 6 EX0-K members and as the camera spins around you see the 6 EXO-M members. During this time there were 12 members in EXO and you see all 12 member in this MV. You are watching the EXO-K version of the song so you see the EXO-K members featured first. If you watch the EXO-M version you will see the EXO-M members featured more prominently. As you know, when EXO debuted they had 12 members and they were split up into 2 groups. EXO-K, which sang their songs in Korean and promoted in Korea, and EXO-M, which sang those same songs in Mandarin Chinese and promoted in China. EXO-K was made up of 6 Korean members (Suho, Baekhyun, D.O, Chanyeol Kai, and Sehun); and EXO- M was made up of 4 Chinese members (Kris, Luhan, Tao and Lay) and 2 Korean members (Xiumin and Chen). However, in 2014 Kris and Luhan left the group and Tao left in 2015. So, as you know, now EXO has 9 members.
However, what is even more impressive is the fact that they also filmed a Mandarin version of this song and MV, so not only did they have to perfect the dance in the Korean version, but they also had to do it again in the Mandarin version. And the Mandarin version isn't exactly the same, because the EXO-M and EXO-K members had different parts in each of the MVs, so that just adds another element to this. You should also check out the Mandarin version to see the differences. All of EXO's MVs have both a Korean and a Mandarin version and each of the MVs are slightly different. So its worth checking out both versions. Plus, this will give you a chance to hear what the songs sound like in both Korean and Mandarin.
EXO actually filmed 5 or 6 different MVs for the song "Growl." As you probably noticed when you searched for this video, they have a Korean performance version, which is the version you watched; an EXO-M Mandarin Chinese version; an EXO-K 2nd version and an EXO-M 2nd version, which are more like traditional MVs with a little more of a storyline; and they also have a drama version that combines their two songs "Growl" and "Wolf" and its 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. Its less then 10 minutes long, but it tells an interesting story. Plus, there are several iconic live performances of "Growl" as well.
You need to look up the lyrics to Growl to really understand the song, but pretty much they are saying "Girl stop tempting me, you are so sexy and beautiful that you make me want to Growl." You are mine." "Girl you take my breath away and make it so I can't control myself." "When you are near, all I can see is you." etc. It's kind of about love at first sight.
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. You should check out their Beauty and Beast performance at the 2013 MAMA Awards to see how impressive they perform "Growl" live. ruclips.net/video/ycql_T6Fc9c/видео.html "Growl" and this one take performance is what launched EXO into super stardom and its what made them the most popular group in Korea. Its one of the reasons why EXO is now Korea's official national Idols. "Growl" came out in 2013 about a year after EXO debuted, and up util 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 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 last year.
This video has all the 12 members but in the first part, all 6 of them were not in exo-k, cause Xiumin, Tao and Chen who are in Exo-m were there too. They just mixed up K and M members, 3 in both the grps so total 6😁
@@preetbarot9093 You are right, I sort of misspoke. But what I meant to say was, that the EXO-K members are the first to sing in each group in the EXO-K version because its the EXO-K version. :D
Maybe you saw growl in the Olympic winter because they perform it there last year or maybe you hear it in some tv show cuz the mentioned this song a lot😂💞
EXO's concept is that they aliens from EXO planet who have arrived on earth, so each of them have a set of powers. Xiumin - frost, suho - water, lay - healing, Baekhyun - light, Chen - electricity, Chanyeol - fire, D.O. - earth/strength, Kai - teleportation, Sehun - wind. (ex members : Luhan - telekinesis, Kris - flight, Tao - time) So you can see glimpses of their power in each of their music videos. In Kokobop, the EXOs are high on some kokocandy so their powers have gone out of control. If you notice, Chen is playing with electric wires, D.O. fell down & the ground cracked, Suho is sitting on water in the washing machine, kai floating, crackers at the end show light & fire ~ for Baekhyun & Chanyeol & so on...thats what the whole Kokobop mv is about, them losing control over their powers. If you try & link all the exo mvs they form a story which the exols have been trying to figure out thus giving rise to numerous exo fan theories. Thus this is EXO in a nutshell. I hope this was helpful.....& no Sehun's tattoos aren't real :)
I'm glad you explain this.. Jen have to know this .. All of them have a superpower and they even use it in some of their choreography.. 😉
their songs and dance moves might be familiar to you because many other kgroup do covers of EXO songs. and you can see in most auditions that EXO songs and dances were used by candidates. So don't be shocked to see other kpop group doing EXO covers because most of them are proud EXO fanboys.
FYI, growl was only shoot by single take.
"the fact that they don't have a bad song"
So true, their discography is ~8 hours
And there's not a single song that I skip... Every song is a blessing to the ears
Well - I'm still not a fan of Wolf (although it's great LIVE) - and the Lightsaber MV is the most disappointing mv of all (they had all those special effects for MAMA but a Star Wars inspired mv gave us guys in a 7-11) - but yeah EXO has so many great songs
"Ko Ko Bop" was the first comeback where Lay was not able to participate with the group so there are only 8 members here. This was the start of when Lay was no longer able to work with EXO. As the Chinese member of the group, the political issues between Korea and China has prevented Lay from being able to participate in any activities with the rest of EXO. "Ko Ko Bop" was he first time we started to see just how difficult it would be for Lay to work with his Korean members within a Korean company. Starting with EXO's War and Power albums you won't see Lay in anything that EXO does, except for a brief 10 second cameo in the Korean version of EXO's "Tempo" MV and you will see and hear him for a a brief moment in the Mandarin version of "Tempo." Lay had to get special permission from the Chinese government to be allowed to even appear in the Tempo MVs and, even then, he wasn't allowed to work with the members. All of his parts had to be recorded as a solo and inserted into the MV and song, that is why you never see Lay dancing in "Tempo" or in any scenes with the other members of EXO. The Chinese government is preventing Lay from being able to work with EXO or do anything in Korea because it has banned its native mainland Chinese citizens from working with or participating in anything that has to do with Korea.
Lay is one of the most famous celebrities in China right now, so everyone wants to work with him. He owns his own record label/studio in China and he produces his own music, as well as music for other artists. Plus, he is, or was, a youth ambassador to China appointed by the government, which means he has a lot of obligations in China. He is considered China's national producer. He is also an actor and he is a spokesperson for a lot of Chinese products and causes -- he is the EXO member with the most endorsement deals. He is also a host of reality programs and is appearing on numerous variety shows in China, so this all keeps him very busy. He is one of the most sought after celebrities in China so he spends a lot of time living in China and away from the other EXO members. Because of his super busy schedule and because of, as I mentioned, some issues between the Chinese and Korean government, Lay has not been a part of EXO activities for more than 3 years now, other than, as I said, his cameo appearance in the "Tempo" MV and his brief vocal part in the Mandarin version of "Tempo" MV and song.
His hiatus from EXO is not something he has chosen, but its something that has sort of been forced upon him by the government. So he has recently been working hard to find ways around those restrictions, which explains one reason why he has been releasing so many English songs lately. By producing songs in English for the U.S. market it allows him and SM to do collaboration projects which give him a chance to keep his connection to EXO, without actually breaking any rules, and it allows SM to connect the stories in his MVs to EXO's storyline.
Now, I am no where near an expert on the topic, and I admit that I only understand a very minor part of what is going on between the Chinese and Korean government, but as I understand it, part of the reason for the ban on Chinese and Korean workers between the two countries is that China is refusing to align itself with the U.S. or South Korea to protect themselves with deployment of the THAAD missile defense system in South Korea. North Korea and China want to get rid of the rocket system that is meant to shoot down a nuclear missile if North Korea were to launch one at South Korea or the U.S. Another reason why China doesn't like the THAAD system is because China and the U.S. don't have the best relationship, so if the U.S. and China become on even worse terms China is afraid the U.S. could also use THAAD against them. China says the THAAD system is just provoking them to actually start a nuclear war, and until they remove it or at least move it back from the South Korean boarder, they will continue their ban on Korean products, workers and the Hallyu wave from working in China and for its native Chinese citizens from working with Korean companies. China feels like the Korean government is taking away its native commodities by allowing Chinese people to work in Korea. The issue is even more complicated than this, but that is one part of it.
And now, with the recent conflict with the Chinese government and Hong Kong, more political tension has continued to make it difficult for our Chinese Idols to work with their Korean companies and groups. With many Chinese Idols recently coming out in support of the Chinese government and publicly supporting "One China," this has made it once again even less likely that Lay will be able to work with EXO in the near future. With Lay's deep ties to the Chinese government and with the fact that he is one of the most popular celebrities in China right now, he can't afford to be blacklisted by the Chinese government. He needs to be able to work and live in China as freely as possible. So, regardless of how he might feel politically on a personal level, he has to come out in support of the Chinese government publicly, which puts him at odds with many other counties views on the subject. With pressure from the Chinese government, it may have been difficult for him to stay neutral, or at least not make his opinion public, so unfortunately he is now receiving some backlash from people outside of mainland China.
But no matter what, Lay always makes sure to find a way to show fans that he is, and will always be, a member of EXO -- he is always supporting his EXO brothers even from afar. Most recently we were able to see Lay back together with the rest of EXO when Lay came to Korea to be there for the day that D.O. enlisted in the military. And in most of Lay's solo work we have nods to EXO and how the stories in his solo MVs are connected to EXO's storyline. He always works hard to remind everyone how important EXO and EXO-Ls are to him.
Lay is known as one of the hardest working artist in the industry because he is such a perfectionist and he pretty much does it all himself.When it comes to his solo work
If you look at the credits for his albums, Lay actually wrote and composed and produced the whole album himself, including the English lyrics. Yes I am sure he had consultants who helped him find the right words, but if you know him, you know that there is almost nothing that he is involved in that he doesn't have 100% control of himself. When it comes to Lay's solo work he does it all himself -- he writes, composes and produces the songs (including the rap sections), he has a large part in choreographing the dances and he has a hand in coming up with and directing the MVs. There really is almost nothing he can't do. That's including learning English so he could make a crossover into the U.S. music market.
Lay was the first EXO member to have a solo career and last year, he became the first EXO member to make his U.S. debut and he produced his first all English album. "Namanana" was a half English/half Mandarin album and it was his American debut release as part of his U.S. tour and promotions. Every Mandarin song on his "Namanana" album has an all English version. He followed that album up with "Honey" which also has an all English version. Because Lay is not allowed to promote in Korea right now, SM has found a way to promote Lay as part of EXO's storyline by partnering with him to release English songs and to tie his MVs in with EXO's story. Everything EXO does, including several of Lay's solo releases ties into the fact that he is a member of EXO -- its SM's way of making sure that even though he might not be able to work with the members right now, that they still make sure to show fans that his storyline and presence as part of EXO is still really important to both Lay and SM.
(FYI: "Ko Ko Bob" was part of their War album and it's from the same album as their song "The Eve" which you have seen the dance practice to.)
im telling you.. pls react on KAI'S CONFESSION ... cz your bias is KAI ... nd if you dnt do that .. i thnk you'll miss a ...........

They all are..
Jen saying "Hi" when Xiumin appears is me 🙂
'Growl and power' were performed at closing ceremony 2018 Olympics
*Winter Olympic
EXO's Baekhyun "UN village" 🙏💞
Jen: So now we're gonna watch Ko Ko Bop
Me: Oh she's gonna go Ko Ko Crazy
Growl had 12 of them
Call me baby had 10 of them
Kokobop had 8 of them
Obsession has 6 of them
Jen just being every Kai stan out here LOL Imagine the shock when she sees how Kai is like off-stage kekekeke
Thank you soooooo much for reacting to these 3~~ Good choices!! There's so much more to come and I hope that you eventually get to watch all the MVs and performances AND their personalities off-stage because they are just....you'll see
Looking forward to the next video!
LOL! Yup! Kai is total opposite off stage!!
the two sides of the moon.. lol
That's why we call him NiNi Bear. Cuz hes such a sweet shy little teddy bear that you want to cuddle but on stage hes fierce and strong and SEXY
Chen and chanyeol :if we love again..you can hear chanyeol deep voice..😘😘
.I'm also a late bloomer fan of EXO. I threated Do Kyung Soo / D.O. as my son and not my oppa because he is too young for me haha. I love rhe group and I miss the complete OT9. ☺😊😍
Almost all rookie groups have covered growl
Jen saying "Hi ☺️" to Xiumin at 7:55 and her reaction at 11:47 . That's just so cute.
He didn't drop it on purpose but still right? It's freakin' smooth bruh it's kai
The tattoo isn’t real sehun put another one in We young “chanyeol and sehun song”
But chanyeol he is the only member who have a real tattoo and I think he have four or three
Chanyeol got 5 tattoos now :)
The monkey, the guitar, L-1485, Loey, and the recent one looks like an arrow (from Exploration concert logo)
EXO is a complete package! They good at singing, dancing, really good looking, some of them also good at playing instruments, making music, acting, modeling.. and the list goes on, stand talent stand EXO
10:19 that was D.O. not xiumin 🤣😂
Although, both D.O. and Xiumin are serving in the military now... I want both of them back 😕
Their discography is one of the main reasons I stan them, they're just so versatile. And their personalities are lovely too♥
Next react to exo promise live performance with engsub,that song wrote for their fans(Exols).And it was so touching 😢😢
Thats true
I can never listen to it by not being emotional. And it's hard to even watch it without crying.
Growl is EXO breakthrough comeback, it's like a national anthem, every Korean-kpoper knows growl and it also got covered a lot by other artists, it's been 6 years already but they actually still do cover it
Growl broke records with this hit. They gained enormous popularity because of this. They are the youngest group to win Song of the year in kpop.
EXO live stage, concert, practice ver. Reaction please❤️
And that famous Kai tempo fancam!!
They use their superpowers in ko ko bop. That’s what’s happening in the song. Exo’s music videos are very well produced. Each detail will make you want to give best mv award to them. For Kai, it’s Kai’s magic. We notice him even he’s in the back. Oh don’t worry. Your pausing is not annoying at all. Thanks for your love for Exo and Exo-L
Please in your spare time listen to their album especially the 4th, 5th and 6th album, you will not regret it
Growl was the song that made EXO big and the song is a hit even currently. Many kpop fans who aren't EXO-ls know this song.
Chanyeol's deep vocal, Kai's body and Baekhyun's gorgeous face ! Have a nice dream !
With the news shared by the rest of the members in Knowing Brother's that Xiumin is first in shooting (always the overachiever, and we love him for that), and DO,s unit being the best fed u ever it in the army, because he cooks for them (his love for cooking is so great, and how well he does it, well the members can atest to that). I mean we get it, and are happy that they are doing so good there qith their fellow soldiers, but we need them back soon.
Yes they don't have a bad songs. That's why they stole my heart. I don't see myself stanning any kpop group but EXO is really exceptional, they are more than kpop.
They performed “ growl and power “ at winter Olympic closing ceremony. Awesome performance .
"they don't have a bad song" truer words have not been spoken!!! this includes all the subunits and solo songs/albums!
7:24 that's Luhan... One of the main vocalists back then... His voice is really really good
Watching this made me miss OT12. 😭💕 This is a video without the separation of K and M.
To Lay: "I just need him to come back" -meeee too every time I see exo and some kgroups that has complete members:((((
I don't know why, but being an EXO-L since 2011 (before teasers even came out, if you know, you know) seeing other people react to the older MVs and music makes me so nostalgic and I teared up a little bit. Thank you so much for reacting to EXO!
Do you know this amazing truth?This mv( Growl)is non-stop recording.There was no stopping between recording mv.😻😱
Exo is amazing✨
I like you baby exol😂❤️
I always say it ChanSoo (Chanyeol and KyungSoo/D.O. ) have that deep voice that's deeper than the deep sea (check diamond live and you'll know how deep is D.O.s voice)
Now looking Chanie really became better at dancing. He looks so clumsy here.
Note: Call me baby's original name is Call me daddy. You can find the demo version on RUclips. They changed the name so they wouldn't get censored on tv.
Here is the demo
ruclips.net/video/6zu28Kec2bA/видео.html
Out of the so many reactors, you are the only who notice the part in Growl when Kai's cap fell down, it was really an accident ohmygoosshhh thank you for noticing ittt!!! ❤❤❤
Growl was make in a sequence plan. Is amazing. I love the Baekhyun mullet in Kokobop.
Fun fact: the car Baekhyun leaned on in Ko Ko Bop MV, has a plate number L-1485 (means EXO-L August 5, 2014. It's EXO-Ls birthday)
Only Chanyeol (the guy with deep voice, pink haired in KoKoBop) has 5 tattoos :)
Call Me Baby was the last song before Tao left EXO, and Ko Ko Bop MV is only with 8 members and first MV without LAY.
I hope it's EXO's month. And since its December, you must listen to their winter albums. Its so freaking good. Their songs just makes you cry. For me, The First Snow & Miracles In December are my fav winter songs :)
It's almost 2020 BUT EXO STILL NEVER FAILS TO SERVE GREAT SONGS.
Call Me Baby is actually one of the song that they sang on their acoustic medley that you've watched wherein Chanyeol and Lay are the one who's doing the guitars.
U would have heard growl, it's Korean anthem... So it's possible...
Yes it’s korean anthem a lot of idol cover the dance and also the song
ONE THING ABOUT EXO IS THAT THEY ARE VERY DIVERSE THEY CAN DO IT ALL
Growl is north korea's most famous song
don't forget to watch EXO - Love Me Right, my fav mv and Lotto too
and Universe tooooo
This song launched them to fame and really popular kpop song so no wonder you've heard and seen it before
please listen to the war album
that candy they're holding in the kokobop mv is drug, and it's like they're hallucinating that's why there's a flying cars, flying burgers, a cloud at the top of the glass. Because they're high.
Let out the beast
Their bside tracks are all good!! They hv the best discography un the industry really even their Japanese album too!
Everytime Kai started their song, it's the best. In Growl and CMB. 2 of their bop songs
Chanyeol voice is deep and he can sing well. They all can sing well
Yessss..all EXO songs are very very very good.They don't have bad songs.
Did u know? There's a ghost in growl's mv
It's not a ghost actually, they already confirmed it was a staff member.
If you really want to see Kai without a shirt you have to check out his concert performance of "Confessions." Pick the one with the most views, it should be the best version. He performed that song at every concert during their most recent world tour, so there are a lot of different versions. But as the tour went along, his performance got better or "worse" depending on how you look at it LOL. ;P
Kai must have felt super pressured when he dropped the hat because they were doing the whole thing in one shot. They filmed "one shots" like seven times, but imagine if you make a mistake toward the end and everyone has to restart because of you. Fortunately, he's super professional and graceful and quick!
I think Monsta X has a short cover of the Growl dance, maybe you saw that? (Most groups have covered it, though. It's the song that everyone in South Korea knows, even if they don't listen to pop.)
The hat fell accidentaly 😂 Growl's mv is a ONE SHOT TAKE and look at 'em dancing like that. JISAS.
Kokobop is my favorite ❤ but in growl my OT12 heart is so bless
Kai dropping his hat here is purely accidental 🤣🤣🤣
Kokobob mv - they're just high (by drug)
This is literally when they don't know what drug is & they took it, so they're so high af
Just take your time knowing our kpop kings 😁😁 youll be amazed 🤭🤭😍
I dunno why when i seeing your reaction about exo, i keep crying, like apreciate something like that haha crying for joyful, thanks baby exol. 💕
to answer your question, those tattoos aren't real! those are just temporary ones and chanyeol is the only member with permanent tattoos :)
ps. he has four of them 😉
Suho to
he actually has 5, the monkey, the arrow, the guitar, exo-ls birthday and LOEY. He recently revealed the arrow tattoo a few months ago. ⩾ᴥ⩽
thanks guys for the clarification! i guess you can't always rely on Google 😔✊
@@widyarah266 no he doesn't
@@haylexlim6075 also I'm sorry if I kind of came off a little mean saying it how I said it V●ᴥ●V
As you can see, in "Growl" there are 12 of them, but now there only 9 of them, it is because 3 of them leaved the group.
Kris Wu (Wu Yifan)
Tao (Huang Zitao)
Luhan (Lu han)
♥️
"Sharing is caring." 😄
U are whipped for Kai and m lovin it....
I noticed that too!!!! 😘😍
Welcome to Erigom!!!!
EVERYONE in kpop have covered this song, even girl groups!!
Growl they sing together
Ilove this song very much.... The moves so cute.... 😘😘😘😘
Next please check clubbing session which includes Drop that + Keep on dancing + Run + 365. Your mind will definitely be blown up by their energy on the the stage. Next you could react to the cute performance when they were young like Unfair, Peter Pan + 365,.... Cuteness overload! And for amazing vocal, i recommend Wolf in Japan.
As usual I keep requesting the same MVs 🤣
Exo's Lay - Give Me a Chance MV & Honey MV.
Exo - Lotto MV
Exo's D.O & Yoo Youngjin - Tell Me What is Love lyrics.
Pleaseeeeee 💕
Yes, Growl was taken in an abandoned building. If you pay attention, at around 4:32-4:34, in the right window behind Luhan's left shoulder, you can see "something" is in there. It looks like a human shape, but with a very long arms and very odd body. It was so viral and many people considered it as a ghost.
P.S : be careful, a lot of growl reaction video got taken down because of copyright.
Thx for this reaction, plz react to this suggestions but the live performances:
1-*"Cosmic railway"*
2-*"Promise"*
3-*"Paper cuts"*
Thxxx a lot
"pick up the hat like that bro "😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah it was a mistake actually but they did a great job in the whole video dancing together in perfection
Kai actually dropped his hat but managed to pick it up smoothly
"THE EVE" IN JAPAN WAS THE GREATEST LIVE PERFORMANCE OF EXO, ITS A DIFFERENT VER. OF THE ORIGINAL YOU REACTED ALREADY
FYI, EXO HAVE 3 MAIN VOCALIST, WHICH ARE CHEN, BAEKHYUN, AND D.O. THEIR VOCALS ARE REALLY NO JOKE. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THEM ARE GOOD AT SINGING THO. STAN EXO IS THE RIGHT THANGGGG
Chanyeol is the only EXO member with real tattoos. I think he's up to 5 tattoos if I am not mistaken.
Loey - The name he uses as a producer.
Guitar made out of moons - Personal
L-1485 -EXOL's bday (fandom name) he says we'll be on his body forever
Sagittarius Arrow - His astrological sign
Monkey - His Chinese zodiac animal
Dunno if he has more I am unaware of...lol
Erigoms watching new Exo-L 😂😂😂 I wish we could see more videos of people falling in love with Nini as much as we see everyone thirsting for Kai. Not that's it's a bad thing. I'm here for the thirst 100% 😉, stay hydrated folks!
Thank u so much for listening exo song and for concern abt our recomandation. I hope this channel will be bigger ❤❤❤❤❤❤
EXO literally doesn't have a bad song.
That's actually why i made them and twice my favorite groups!
they're my ults too ayeee
At 17:50 I thought you're gonna pause it because you saw the L-1485 as the car's plate number. L-1485 is EXO-L's birthday. L for EXO-L and 1485 for August 5, 2014. Chanyeol had a tattoo on his hands which is L-1485 and told us that we will forever be with him 'till he die
" can you please take it of already "
😂😂😂 That's what all of us said
They're basically high on kokobop in the music video!
I kinda wish you watch exo performances in MAMA especially 2016 2017 2013 they're dope I just love your reaction that i don't want it to be just one exo week . Hope you enjoying EXO mvs and concept they're our boys who never disappointed us .
Thank you very much.. #exo is the best of the best... Growl and love shot is my most favorite song of #exo..
Believe me till now we didn't know what ko ko bop " or as we 'exols' call it ko ko Quee " know what is going on 🤟🏻😭🍻
Okay, but I love that you say, "No worries!" after seeing there aren't subtitles/captions. I really appreciate that! It _does_ bother me that only in the last year or two SM has had them on their new music videos, but some people make a bigger deal out of it than needed. Plus, I always have to watch a video at least a second time if there are subtitles because I can't pay attention to everything at once.
Growl has all 12 original members. Call Me Baby has 10 members- the 9 current members + Tao right before he left. And then Ko Ko Bop has 8 members- it was the first comeback they had without Lay as an active member.
"But I guess I'm like super can't handle anything anymore." RELATEABLE!
"I'm a baby EXO-L" JEN! I'm so glad I saw your first EXO video and subscribed! I love seeing people get into EXO, especially since they are my favorite group. But also you are so into it and really show your genuine love and excitement- which it just makes me happy seeing other people happy in that way. This probably sounds cheesy but it's true! And your personality really comes through, too!
No, the tattoos on Sehun and Kai are not real. The only member who has tattoos is Chanyeol.
EXO's Growl and TVXQ's Mirotic are the unofficial national anthems of South Korea.
GROWL IS THEIR LEGENDARY SONG.. IT'S VERY VERY VERY POPULAR HERE IN S.KOREA.. AH NO.. IN ASIA AND SOME OTHER PARTS OF EUROPE.
