@@AlexSinclairMusicthey're not called Emperors of K-pop, Vocal kings of K-pop for nothing. Only exo can pull off live singing, acapella in the bridge of their song. The acapella part was a beautiful accident when the members were just messing up while recording in the studio and the producers love it so they included it. Kings! Legends! ❤❤❤
Wow es mu primera vez viendote reaccionar a EXO😊, son geniales no?? Me gustaria escucharas mucho mas de ellos, tienen de todo, te recomiendo sus canciones debut son solo para conocedores de música, mama, wolf, overdose, kokobop, obsesión, y en vivo es totalmente otro mundo te recomiendo exoplanet #4 en Japón
@@AlexSinclairMusic react to Baekhyun from exo his voice is incredible, his sons like ( Bambi , cry for love, candy , un village, all i got you , his live songs although ❤
Great choice Alex. Exo is a masterpiece. All members sing well. You won't regret finding EXO. they are the complete package. I think the male kpop singer with the best vocal skills is EXO 🔥✨
your reaction to the acapella part... relatable 😂 😂 this song is just crazy . crazy good. Next should be "EXO - Obsession" Oh god... you will be shocked
THIS IS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE REACTION TO THIS MASTERPIECE! 😂 yes so many people dont realize how much vocal layering and how technically difficult Exo songs are but they make it sound so good and easy
Now you know why EXO are called VOCAL KINGS. They are the signature. The 3 male vocalists of EXO are the best 3 male vocalists of K-pop industry. I'll suggest you react to OBSESSION, MONSTER, LET ME IN and CALL ME BABY by EXO. Also please check out MIRAGE OF FLOWER BY CHEN and ALL I GOT BY BAEKHYUN. You'll have the best vocal experience I promise.
First I want to thank you for solely focusing on them and their talent rather than going off every 5 seconds to try and compare them to others. Artists deserve to be listen to genuinely and I'm very happy you were able to do that for EXO. That being said, your reaction was very enjoyable and energetic definitely looking forward to some more EXO reactions.
Thank you for the reaction! Tempo was the right choice, if you want to hear more vocals I suggest exo killing voice as the next reaction, but if you want to watch an MV, I suggest monster!
Exordium EXO Concert - Lightsaber, Exordium EXO Concert - Drop That, Keep On Dancing, Lucky, Run (Medley), Exordium EXO Concert - Acoustic Medley, Exordium EXO Concert - MAMA, Monster, Wolf (Medley). You should watch their concert. They’re more cool on live concert rather than MC😂🙌🏻
Thank you for reacting to EXO, i really love your reaction. And i'm looking forward for other your EXO reactions, i will happily watching your EXO recation video and waiting for 'finally' your reaction to EXO Live Performances cuz i swear it's gonna be fun to watch you exploring more about EXO vocal TMI: we, as fans of EXO more like recommend people to watch EXO live performances than their MV 😬 because almost all of us think EXO vocals are better in live version than from the music video/studio version
Ah thank you so much for watching and for your support!! And wow you really recommend the lives more?? Then next I will definitely do an EXO live reaction!! That's amazing!!!
To me, EXO is a group that hasn't sold its soul to the "devil." I mean, they are truly doing K-pop and their vocals are definitely insane Some groups may follow international trends, but I prefer to stan the ones that respect their essence.
@@lachainedestrucsnulle1211 😭 I mean since 2020/21 the type of the songs changed it's just not the same kpop songs for me 🤷♀️ you know there's a difference between the 3rd and the 4th gen but tbh I love 4th gen the most😅
Primera vez que me sale la opcion para verte y me agrado ver que te parezca que Exo son grandes voces , te comento para que tus videos lleguen a mas personas y te di like, por favor reacciona mas a mis niños amados, soy EXOL
while waiting for their next album this winter (hopefully), i've been on an exo reaction binge since i'm missing them so much lately! so glad this reaction reached my algorithm, thanks for the vid!
The production, the mv, the song, the drum, the baseline, the rap, the layers of vocals, the harmonizing, what not, totally INSANE and for real they really got that TEMPO!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥 and the best reaction indeed! 💗😊
they tell us don't mess up with my tempo but they already did with us, also their songs are amazing , and speaking abouttheir vocal are is nothing we are actualy can talk about coz they are a king of vocal, and their songs just so good even besids thanks for reaction to EXO next time SuperJunior please
The harmonies and du du dus made me think of TAN's DU DU DU, idk if it would be your style but i think TAN's DU DU DU, Louder and HYPERTONIC are worth checking out (Hypertonic being their latest realease) Besides that, just discovered your channel, love your energy, I'm definitly subscribing and going to check your music
Ohhh interesting!! I haven't heard those but I might check them out!! And ah thank you so much for subscribing!! Welcome to the Empire!! Let me know what you think! :))
@@exoneusvtan8173 Hehe thanks ^^, I rarely hear people talk about them and never saw someone react to them, glad to find someone who knows them, they deserve more visibility
The song is called "Tempo" and the album is named Don't Mess Up My Tempo, so, the tempo is intentionally a prominent part of the song. I think the tempo is also supposed to mirror the uncertainty and unsteadiness that EXO are feeling within the storyline in the MV and be the driving force spurring them on in the story. However, if you read the lyrics, you see that in the song they are talking to a girl and they are telling her, "Don't mess up my tempo." And yes, part of the tempo in the song is created by the squeak of what is thought to be bed springs. (The underlying theme of the song is a tongue and cheek reference to sexual innuendo.) On the surface, the song and MV is meant to be enjoyed by the casual watcher and listener like you would any song on the radio, but if you want to delve in deeper and explore EXO's storyline, then there is so much more going on. As an SM Entertainment group, it shouldn't be a surprise that EXO are amazing vocalists -- hence the acapella part in the song. SM is known as the vocal powerhouse, so all of SM's artists are outstanding vocalists. Fun fact: There wasn't supposed to be an acapella section in the song. The members were just messing around in the recording studio riffing with each other and the sound engineer loved it so much that they decided to put it in the song. EXO are known as the "Vocal Kings of Kpop" for a reason. "Tempo" came out in 2018, so there are 9 members in this MV. (Only 8 members are in the group scenes.) This is special because it's the first time we have seen Lay, EXO's Chinese member, participate in anything with EXO since 2016 and you won't see him again in another EXO project until their "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV in 2021. However, although Lay was in this MV, you won't see or hear him sing or dance because you watched the Korean version, and at this time, because of the political issues between China and Korea, the Chinese government only gave him permission to appear in the Korean version, but he wasn't allowed to participate in the song. If you want to hear Lay sing you will have to watch the Mandarin version. To understand the choices being made in this song and the story in the MV, you have to be aware that everything EXO is involved in, and I literally mean almost everything, is connected in some way to their concept and storyline. EXO's MVs are kind of like a movie -- it's a movie that has been going on for the past 12+ years -- since pre-debut -- and it has no sign of coming to an end any time soon. EXO debuted in 2012 and from day one, the group's concept is that they are aliens from planet Exo and they came to Earth with superpowers to protect the Tree of Life from the evil Red Forces. As otherworldly beings, each of the members has a superpower that is unique to them. The aesthetic of the "Tempo" MV is centered around the color red because the setting is supposed to be depicting the members under the Red Forces' control. What fan theories think is happening in "Tempo" is it's showing the members of EXO all trapped in separate dimensions. Each of those rooms, could possibly be a different dimension and that is why you see the glitches and why you hear Xiumin and Baekhyun with that computerized voice, because they aren't all in the same place at the same time, so their voices are being distorted as they try to connect between dimensions, etc. (Which could also explain Xiumin's hair.) They also still could be trapped in different rooms within the maze, like what we see them in their "Overdose" MVs. For several of EXO's MVs we believe they are still trapped within the maze and they are continuously trying to find their way out. The maze seems to affect their connection to their powers and it clouds their minds and dulls their senses, so not only are they fighting the Red Force and X-EXO, but they are also struggling to break free from the fog the Red Force has them in. That's why we see some of the members just lazily sitting around and kind of blankly staring off into space at times. Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in the MV and he is the one standing above everything looking down, so this is one example of where we think that maybe he is the only one who has avoided the Red Force's control and he is observing everything that is going on from the outside. We see Chanyeol (one of the main rappers) being interrogated by Chen with the inkblot test and that is thought to be the members trying to figure out who are the real EXO members and who are the evil X-EXO members created by the Red Force -- or who are the real members and who are the clones. At this point everyone is suspicious of each other and no one can be trusted. Also notice how the inkblot looks like it's shaped like a butterfly. The butterfly is also an important part of SM's Culture Universe storyline. We see a butterfly in EXO's debut "Mama" MVs in 2012, which is thought to be connected to the colorful butterfly that is Ningnig's symbol in aespa's story, so you will see it all the time in aespa's MVs starting in 2020 as she navigates through the digital world. You also will see a butterfly appear in several of SM's other groups' MVs, which is often used as a metaphor to represent a woman -- possibly representing a connection to the heart of the Tree of Life from EXO's storyline -- in each of the MVs, as a way to connect all of SM's storylines together. For example, there is also a white butterfly in NCT-127's "Favorite (Vampire)" MV from 2021, which is meant to represent the "vampire" woman that they are singing about, and it's even thought it could be connected to the white butterfly in SHINee's "Ring Ding Dong" MV from 2009. It also could be the white butterfly that helps aespa navigate through Kwangya in aespa's "aespa ep. 2 'Next Level' - SM Culture Universe" video in 2022, which would explain why we see a similar butterfly in all of SM's storylines. The butterfly appears to help everyone as they travel through Kwangya. (Everything SM does has to do with Kwangya -- even SM's new building where everything is created and produced is called Kwangya. Kwangya is the metaverse that all of SM's groups' and artists' concepts, and most of their MV storylines revolve around.) Therefore, the butterfly inkblot could be used as a way to try and break the control the Red Force has over EXO and to remind them of the fact that they need to find their way out of the maze and to not forget what their mission is, etc. Halfway through the MV Chanyeol's eyes and hair change color, so some think that this is either showing two different versions of Chanyeol who appear in two different time periods or dimensions, or one is Chanyeol the EXO member and one is Chanyeol the X-EXO clone. Often, when you see a character in one of SM's MVs with blue eyes or different eye colors this usually means they are not who they appear to be. The silhouettes we see behind the lighted white wall or box also could be connected to the silhouettes you will see when you watch EXO's live remixed version of their song "Wolf" in concert. The silhouettes could represent the fact that EXO are battling with X-EXO for control. (And, now, it also could be connected to the silhouettes we see behind the white wall in SHINee's new "Hard" MV.) The "Chess game" is thought to be supernatural EXO chess, and I don't think it's a game they are playing, but I think maybe it's something they are using to try to decipher a clue or figure out a way out of wherever the Red Force has them trapped at the moment. It's unclear right now what that scene is really telling us, but I have a feeling, things will become clearer in the future as more of EXO's storyline is unveiled in future MVs and as SM's SM Culture Universe storyline continues to evolve. At one point we see them take those "chess" pieces and put them together to form a larger cube shape, which is thought could possibly be a model of the maze in which they are trapped in. And I think this also may be connected to the cube/labyrinth maze we see floating in the air in WayV's "Love Talk" MV in 2019 and the similar cube we see blocking aespa's way as they travel through Kwangya in aespa's ep. 2 video. And I think it might even be connected to the cubes we see in the sky in Kai's solo "Mmmh" MV in 2020, as well as the labyrinth cube we see SHINee's Key standing on top of in his solo "Gasoline" MV in 2022. (Baekhyun and Kai from EXO, Taemin from SHINee, Taeyong and Mark from NCT, Ten from WayV and Lucas who is a former member of WayV, are all members of the Kpop supergroup SuperM, which I think is why SM is creating connections between all of their groups' storylines, because it's all part of the same story. Plus, everything aespa does is connected to the SM Culture Universe.) In SuperM's "One (Monster & Infinity)" MV, we see the members using a map to navigate through what is thought could be the maze that the EXO members are trapped in, as SuperM is coming to rescue EXO from the Red Force's control. And it could even have something to do with the fact that we see in SHINee's teaser video for their Hard album, that they are also trying to solve a maze, which -- because Taemin is a member of SuperM -- could possibly be SHINee trying to help EXO as well. We also see EXO's Sehun (EXO's other main rapper) on the motorcycle in "Tempo", which I now think is connected to the scene where we see him driving a motorcycle in EXO's "Lightsaber" MV and sitting on the motorcycle in their "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV. In the very last scene in "Tempo", that is Baekhyun with that glass cube. I am not sure what that means, but I am sure it's foreshadowing something to come in the future with EXO's storyline, and it probably has something to do with the fact that Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in most of EXO's story. (We also see Chanyeol with a glass cube, similar to the one Baekhyun has, in their "Love Shot" MV.)
Regarding the skinny pants/jeans……. you’d be surprised of how much the kpop scene have been and are still wearing it even up until now 🤣 i guess it’s to showcase the footwork when these idols dance and also they somehow just look good in it 😂

We see Chanyeol (one of the main rappers) being interrogated by Chen with the inkblot test and that is thought to be the members trying to figure out who are the real EXO members and who are the evil X-EXO members created by the Red Force -- or who are the real members and who are the clones. At this point everyone is suspicious of each other and no one can be trusted.
Also notice how the inkblot looks like it's shaped like a butterfly. The butterfly is also an important part of SM's Culture Universe storyline. We see a butterfly in EXO's debut "Mama" MVs in 2012, which is thought to be connected to the colorful butterfly that is Ningnig's symbol in aespa's story, so you will see it all the time in aespa's MVs starting in 2020 as she navigates through the digital world. You also will see a butterfly appear in several of SM's other groups' MVs, which is often used as a metaphor to represent a woman -- possibly representing a connection to the heart of the Tree of Life from EXO's storyline -- in each of the MVs, as a way to connect all of SM's storylines together. For example, there is also a white butterfly in NCT-127's "Favorite (Vampire)" MV from 2021, which is meant to represent the "vampire" woman that they are singing about, and it's even thought it could be connected to the white butterfly in SHINee's "Ring Ding Dong" MV from 2009. It also could be the white butterfly that helps aespa navigate through Kwangya in aespa's "aespa ep. 2 'Next Level' - SM Culture Universe" video in 2022, which would explain why we see a similar butterfly in all of SM's storylines. The butterfly appears to help everyone as they travel through Kwangya. (Everything SM does has to do with Kwangya -- even SM's new building where everything is created and produced is called Kwangya. Kwangya is the metaverse that all of SM's groups' and artists' concepts, and most of their MV storylines revolve around.)
Therefore, the butterfly inkblot could be used as a way to try and break the control the Red Force has over EXO and to remind them of the fact that they need to find their way out of the maze and to not forget what their mission is, etc.
Halfway through the MV Chanyeol's eyes and hair change color, so some think that this is either showing two different versions of Chanyeol who appear in two different time periods or dimensions, or one is Chanyeol the EXO member and one is Chanyeol the X-EXO clone. Often, when you see a character in one of SM's MVs with blue eyes or different eye colors this usually means they are not who they appear to be.
The silhouettes we see behind the lighted white wall or box also could be connected to the silhouettes you will see when you watch EXO's live remixed version of their song "Wolf" in concert. The silhouettes could represent the fact that EXO are battling with X-EXO for control. (And, now, it also could be connected to the silhouettes we see behind the white wall in SHINee's new "Hard" MV.)
The "Chess game" is thought to be supernatural EXO chess, and I don't think it's a game they are playing, but I think maybe it's something they are using to try to decipher a clue or figure out a way out of wherever the Red Force has them trapped at the moment. It's unclear right now what that scene is really telling us, but I have a feeling, things will become clearer in the future as more of EXO's storyline is unveiled in future MVs and as SM's SM Culture Universe storyline continues to evolve.
At one point we see them take those "chess" pieces and put them together to form a larger cube shape, which is thought could possibly be a model of the maze in which they are trapped in. And I think this also may be connected to the cube/labyrinth maze we see floating in the air in WayV's "Love Talk" MV in 2019 and the similar cube we see blocking aespa's way as they travel through Kwangya in aespa's ep. 2 video. And I think it might even be connected to the cubes we see in the sky in Kai's solo "Mmmh" MV in 2020, as well as the labyrinth cube we see SHINee's Key standing on top of in his solo "Gasoline" MV in 2022. (Baekhyun and Kai from EXO, Taemin from SHINee, Taeyong and Mark from NCT, Ten from WayV and Lucas who is a former member of WayV, are all members of the Kpop supergroup SuperM, which I think is why SM is creating connections between all of their groups' storylines, because it's all part of the same story. Plus, everything aespa does is connected to the SM Culture Universe.)
In SuperM's "One (Monster & Infinity)" MV, we see the members using a map to navigate through what is thought could be the maze that the EXO members are trapped in, as SuperM is coming to rescue EXO from the Red Force's control. And it could even have something to do with the fact that we see in SHINee's teaser video for their Hard album, that they are also trying to solve a maze, which -- because Taemin is a member of SuperM -- could possibly be SHINee trying to help EXO as well.
We also see EXO's Sehun (EXO's other main rapper) on the motorcycle in "Tempo", which I now think is connected to the scene where we see him driving a motorcycle in EXO's "Lightsaber" MV and sitting on the motorcycle in their "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV.
In the very last scene in "Tempo", that is Baekhyun with that glass cube. I am not sure what that means, but I am sure it's foreshadowing something to come in the future with EXO's storyline, and it probably has something to do with the fact that Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in most of EXO's story. (We also see Chanyeol with a glass cube, similar to the one Baekhyun has, in their "Love Shot" MV.)
