True kings! The most mistreated group! No ads group! No promotion group! No sympathetic documentary group! To be honest idk how EXO survived for a long time and ATE! They are so big!!! Before the rise of overhyped korean groups in the west, EXO were the realest!!! Golden days of kpop! But hey they will come back again soon and every one is already losing their minds! KINGS ARE COMING!
Even when they got hurt, they hid their pains in the bestest way possible! I remember kyungsoo getting hurt during mama performance in their rookie days, he was in so much pain but still even other members didn’t know at that time. Kyungsoo completed their performance, came down from the stage n then fainted! But as exo don't like mediaplay, we dont have any video or pic of that time! They always silently enduring all the pain & mistreatments from sm, but acting like nothing happened..
@@yeolsyeobo7509 This is so true. They don’t use their difficulties to get sympathetic support from people, they only survive on pure talent. That story about kyungsoo is true that’s why they were incomplete when they accepted their daesang. Chanyeol also had hypoxia which is a very dangerous condition. There’s a clip that circulated before where you can see everyone rushing backstage because of his attacks and even sehun was shouting “hyung lie down!” but he never used it to gain sympathy. Lay has hemophilia, we only found out about this when there’s a particular choreo in call me baby where he needs to put his hand in front of the camera and we saw that it was bleeding in multiple videos and other fansite photos. I love them for not using mediaplay. EXO true talented kings.
@@god5498 EXO’s leader is named SUHO. I believe the strongest leader in kpop. Lost 3 members and got criticized by it even though it is not his fault but the company’s. But he still managed to lead the team well. The day the first ex-member quit, exo needs to receive an award, but since all the members where in shock, he came ALONE in that award show facing all the media.
the one who hits the high note for both songs is Chen. and you're right abt they've superpowers.. EXO is very consistent with their concept since their debut in 2012. to make it short, they're aliens from EXO Planet. they're fighting the Red Force.. their mvs always relate to their concept.. but the lyrics isn't always related to the mv, u get it? it's quite hard, yes.. 😂 anyway, each members has their own superpowers: Frost, Water, Healing, Light, Thunder, Fire, Force, Teleportation & Wind.. there are 3 more, but the members already left.. so, they're 9 now..
There are two meaning for the song: 1. Exo has a storyline, they came in the past to our planet from their planet (exoplanet) to fight the red force that wants to the destruction of our world, the three of life and take exo powers(each member have a power). In this video the red force created evil dark alter-ego from each member and their powers( the ones in strange outfits and are called x-exo) so exo(the ones in black outfits) are fighting them to protect the world. 2. The second meaning is that EXO as artist wanted to fight the bad feelings that came with the fame and success. They are the second most popular and successful group of kpop in history, but even with all of that they want to maintain themselves humble, hard working and thankful. Pd: I love your reaction. I hope you can react to them more. Exo are well known for their stage presence so I hope you can react to mama + monster + wolf(mix) live.
Thank you Jordan for taking time to react to our boys Exo and appreciating their music. They are a decade old group and have a vast discography for you to check out. Will love to see you enjoy your journey with Exo. They are spectacular and their live performance is top notch. Do check it out. Thank you once again..
You are right ..yes they are Exo and x-Exo Fighting ..it s deep story about Exo 10years ago in their mvs it's fun amazing i recomenterd more Exo thanks
EXO actually follows a long story line since predebut (they started the theory trend in kpop) so all mvs are connected. It's very hard to explain but maybe google can give you some intro to it.
EXO songs are always multilayered in many respects: vocals have 2-3 layers as they have all kinds of vocals and all 9 of them are very good vocalists (including the powerhouse of kpop - the 3 main vocalists, the main dancers and rappers, all can SING so well) , the music is also very complex and always multilayered. That's why for me, an opera lover, EXO are the only group I'd give an arm and a leg to see live. Vocals and music of higher quality than anyone else.
If you want to see a mind blowing performance of Monster then I recommend 3 in one: MAMA+Monster+Wolf from Tokyo Dome. EXO is the golden standard and after this performance you'll understand why 😉
In order to understand the story in EXO's "Monster" MV, as well as all of EXO's content, you have to know that it's all connected, and every new piece that's introduced explains a little more of EXO's story. Each MV is like another chapter in SM Entertainment's SM Culture Universe storyline and it's all part of a larger story that also includes the majority of SM's other groups' and artists' storylines. It's like one giant graphic novel or mystery movie series. Everything EXO is involved in, and I literally mean almost everything -- including all of their MVs, the majority of their sub-sub-unit MVs and members' solo MVs, teaser videos, concert stages, concert VCRs (videos played in between sets at concerts) and choreography, as well as special content included with their albums, etc. -- is designed to help tell a little more of EXO's story. "Monster" was released in 2016, so there are 9 members in this MV. As the English lines in "Monster" say ... They're "Creeping, Creeping Creeping .... Creeping in your heart babe" "You can call me Monster (because) I'm creeping in your heart babe." "She got me goin' crazy." The song's called "Monster," so the words are about acting like a monster: "Don't be afraid, love is the way ... I'm sorry, you make me sooo craaaazzzy, you know you dooooo." So the floating watch and the car that is on fire in reverse, etc., I think was -- on top of being a metaphor in the story -- also supposed to be the members using their superpowers. And the snake, like a monster, mirrors the beat of the song, which kind of slithers like a snake as a metaphor for the way the guy slithers in and out of the relationship stealing warmth and affection from the girl, but in the end, leaving her cold and alone like a cold-blooded snake, etc. The snake is also red, which means that it most likely represents something to do with the the Red Force.
As you discovered, the lyrics of the song have very little to do with the story in the MV. In the song the members are talking about a girl and they are telling the girl that "You can call me Monster" because I know I am bad for you and I will ruin you. I know that when we are over that I will have destroyed everything that is good about you, but I don't care because I want you so much that it doesn't matter to me. But the MV is about EXO's origin story and about the fact that they have come to Earth on a mission. Also, the majority of the choreography for "Monster" has to do with the members using their powers, so when/if you watch the dance practice and/or a live performance, if you know what you are looking for, you will see that each move is done for a very specific reason. The X they make to represent EXO is only the beginning of the story in their choreography. For example, D.O. has the power of super strength, so during his part in the song and choreography you will see that he waves his hands and the other members are pushed away from him or pulled toward him. When you see Suho in the middle of the group and they have a hold of his arms, he rotates his body around like swirling water because Suho has the power to control water. Xiumin has the power to control snow/ice/frost, so during one part of the choreography you will see that each of the members pause as if frozen as he moves in front of them. You see Kai slide backward and forward into the center of the group while waving his arms to represent him teleporting. And when Chanyeol jumps over Lay, Sehun and Xiumin, this could be him using his phoenix fire wings to fly, or it could be showing him leaping over flames because his power is the ability to control fire. Sehun has the power to control wind, so during his parts, you will see the other members shuffle around him as if they are creating a windstorm. And when they sit on the ground with their one knee in the air and rotate their bodies, it's supposed to represent a sundial -- EXO gets their power from the eclipse and their powers are affected by planetary and solar phenomenon, so the sundial is meant to represent the passing of time and their connection to the sun. You should also make note that "Lotto" is a prequel to "Monster," so when you watch their "Lotto" MV, just keep in mind that what you saw happen in "Monster" is what is going to take place after or in conjunction with the events in "Lotto". How "Monster" and "Lotto" tie into EXOs larger storyline is a little open ended, but because "Lotto" is thought to be the prequel to "Monster," I think the story starts out in "Lotto" where the members have somehow infiltrated this big gambling ring and are undercover as they work to uncover a clue or something they need in order to accomplish their tasks here on Earth. I think the underground gambling establishment is run by a gang of bad guys who are probably members of the Red Force. "Lotto" is where we are introduced to a girl who is being held captive. And ultimately, I think what EXO are trying to do is rescue the girl from the Red Force, but they are trying to do it without blowing their cover or being found out. So, that's why you see in "Lotto," and continued in "Monster," the members are fighting against the police because the police have come in to take down the gambling ring and rescue the girl, which is also what EXO are trying to do. However, the members of EXO don't want to be discovered, so they play along as if they are part of the bad guys. EXO are supposed to be going about their tasks here on Earth incognito, and humanity is never supposed to find out that EXO are other-worldly beings, so they are trying to keep a low profile. As we see in the end of "Monster," Baekhyun disguises himself as one of the police and helps the other members escape from the back of the police van before they are taken to jail and/or captured by the Red Force, etc. (However, if you look closely, the members who are in the back of the police van are dressed in red, so the ones who Baekhyun rescued may be X-EXO and not EXO like we originally thought. Although I'm not sure whether at this point Baekhyun realizes these aren't the EXO members. Or maybe Baekhyun is also a member of X-EXO. Just another giant mystery we have yet to solve.) You also see Lay, EXO's Chinese member, crouched in the middle of what looks like a pile of people -- I'm not sure whether these are the FBI agents, or if these are members of the Red Force -- and I think he is checking to make sure they are OK and possibly trying to use his power of healing to fix things and heal the injured. Because some theories believe that EXO are traveling between time periods and dimensions, I think in "Monster" they also might be showing how some of the members are arriving on scene at different moments in the timeline of events that are taking place in the MV -- the members don't necessarily arrive at the location together -- as explained in their Pathcode teaser videos leading up to their "Call Me Baby" comeback. For instance, in "Monster" you also see Kai standing on or near a giant pile of people as well, and he seems to be standing over them. Some have pointed to this as possibly showing evil X-EXO Kai -- Kai's alter ego clone that was created by the Red Forced and introduced in EXO's "Obsession" MV -- who has done something bad, but I think this may be showing good EXO Kai, who has just shown up at that moment, observing what has taken place. Because Kai has the power of teleportation he is the one that is in charge of bringing the members together and traveling between time and space, so I think he has shown up from a different time or place and is now trying to figure out what has happened, etc. As you saw in their "Obsession" MV, the members in the bright colored clothing with the crazy makeup and hair are supposed to be X-EXO and the ones in the black or dark colored clothing are supposed to be EXO. So, in the parts where they are dressed in all black in "Monster" I think this is showing EXO, and where you see them in the clothing with red accents, this might by showing X-EXO. At the time when "Monster" was first released, we had no idea about X-EXO's existence, but since "Obsession", we have started to go back and reanalyze some of their older MVs, and it appears that what we thought was always EXO, may have been in fact X-EXO some of the time. As you can see, EXO's story is always evolving and changing, and just when you think you have one part understood, SM introduces a new piece of the story and changes the direction of the narrative. Also pay attention to when you see red and blue. In EXO's MVs when you see red light or red objects this is where the Red Force has control, and when you see blue light or blue objects this is where EXO has the upperhand. However, if you see purple or red and blue in the same scene this is when EXO and the Red Force are battling for control -- red and blue mixed together make purple. Unfortunately, as you can see, what makes EXO's storyline even more difficult to follow is the fact that nothing is ever in chronological order. So you really have to pay close attention to every detail, to even begin to make connections.
EXO is a top-tier, multi-talented Kpop group, known to be the vocal kings of Kpop. Being so diverse (each member has his own sound), their group harmonies & vocal range are extremely good. They have the most varied discography in Kpop. They have covered almost all genres w/ different vocal techniques. EXO's MVs are somehow linked. This is the idol group that helped spread the Korean wave internationally & considered to be one of the most influential acts in Kpop. This is the group that ended the 12-year drought in the Korean music industry. They may have been inactive as a group due to conscription but, amazingly, they have maintained their popularity & continue to influence new gen of Kpop. Pls check EXO's live performances as these are true testaments that this group is in a class of their own. Thanks for your reaction.
In Obsession EXO represent EXO and their alter egos - X-EXO. It's connected to their concept. They were the first to have a very complicated and detailed concept. And before 2018 you could see that they collected awards at every award show like no one else before, the whole venue was just an EXO concert. They're record breaking group in many respects
When it comes to exo, you won't get disappointed with their VOCALS. A lot of kpop groups respect them so much since they've debuted year 2012 too, and that they're real talented. Members aren't just idols but actors, models, multi talented, ambassadors and have good education too. They're legends, and a lot of kpop fans salutes them as well, they're well known not just in Korea but internationally too. Received award even when they're not promoting, members working hard even if they're in military. That's a great flex.
Obsession is all about fighting there own alter egos hehehe and all of the mv of exo are connected with each other based on the storyline . And yes they have super powers Suho =water Baekhyun= light Chanyeol=fire D.O= force Kai=teleportation Lay=healing Chen=thunder Xiumin=frost Sehun=wind They are called the VOCAL KINGS OF KPOP they debuted in 2012 with 9 members. The one who hit the high notes hes name is chen thankyou for this i highly recommend for your next reaction is EXO LOVESHOT AND EXO TEMPO 🥰😍
The sport is called fencing. And you’re right about the Obsession song, besides fighting their evil selves, the lyrics refer to the crazy fans (called saesangs)that obsess to the point of invading their privacy thus the continuing lyrics “I want you” and the response “I don’t think so”.
EXO is the EXO of the Vocals band. I did not see an integrated band and all of them can sing, for example, except for EXO. There is a famous phrase that says, “If everyone was looking for talent and not the trend, they would have become EXO fans.”
Obsession is a story about EXO fighting their own alter ego that we are called X-EXO. It's like Hyde & Jekyll, Bruce & Hulk, Wanda & Scarlet Witch, Anakin & Darth Vader..etc. X-EXO even have their own official twitter. 😭 Exo indeed have super power, it's shown in all over their MV. Hope you get to see all of them.
Welcome to greatness. EXO is the best of the best in everything, especially live vocals and performances. They are vocal kings, all can sing and dance. The more you’ll listen to them the more you’ll get hooked.
Exo well known as king of vocal in kpop industry..nvr mind if it's confusing about the storyline..bcs thier storyline kind of complicated..it's hard to dissect thier story unless you have to know the from thier debut.. because they're from another planet and each of them have thier own super powers.. when you know them from thier guide then you can understand how thier storylines work
What you saw in the "Obsession" MV was that EXO's doppelgangers were actually their alter ego clones and they were using their superpowers, such as Chanyeol with his fire power, Sehun uses his wind power to deflect the arrows, Baekhyun uses his power of light as a saber in the fencing battle, and Suho (the one with red hair) controls water in the room with all the pictures of water, etc. to fight their other selves. You see the planet on fire in the end of the MV because it's supposed to show how the world is coming to an end as EXO (the good guys in all black) and X-EXO (the evil ones in the colorful outfits with crazy hair and makeup) battle for control, etc. (Each of the members are playing 2 different characters -- there are only 6 people in this MV.) X-EXO has been created by the evil Red Force and EXO and X-EXO are fighting each other. EXO are trying to prevent X-EXO from taking over and corrupting humanity and X-EXO are trying to stop EXO from finding the Tree of Life and putting the two halves back together and restoring peace, etc. To truly understand EXO you need to be aware that EXO debuted in 2012. "Mama" is EXO's debut song and MV and it is how EXO was introduced to the world and it explains the group's concept -- and since then, everything SM does branches off from that storyline. From day one, EXO'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 Red Forces. Each of the members has a superpower that is unique to them and almost every MV will have at least one, if not all of them, using their powers. Now you also need to know that In the beginning there was 12 members and they were split up into 2 groups EXO-K and EXO-M. EXO-K sang and performed their songs in Korean and EXO-M sang and performed those same songs in Mandarin Chinese. EXO-K had 6 Korean members and EXO-M had 4 Chinese members and 2 Korean members. So to really understand their full origin story you have to watch both the K and the M version of "Mama", because the EXO-K version focuses on the K members and their powers and the EXO-M version focuses on the M members and their powers. However, since then, 3 of the 4 Chinese members have left the group (short answer to focus on their solo work back in China) but there is still one Chinese member left, Lay. (Any performances or MVs you watch that took place prior to May 2014 you will see all 12 members.) However, now -- because they no longer have enough Chinese members -- they no longer do separate promotions, but they still produce almost all of their MVs and main songs in both Korean and Mandarin they just now promote all as one big group EXO with 9 members. However, in the "Obsession" MV there are only 6 members -- Suho, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, Kai and Sehun -- because 2 of the members -- D.O. and Xiumin -- are on hiatus during this comeback as they serve in the military; and due to the political issues between the Korean and Chinese government, Lay -- their Chinese member -- was unable to participate in activities with the group. So each new MV or project from EXO tells another part of the story, and over the years we fans have started to create a timeline and idea of what we think each part of the story is telling us. However, the introduction of "Obsession's" part of the story really threw all of our theories for a loop and it has made us question everything we have ever thought was happening in EXO's storyline. The MV starts out with the red and blue light because it's supposed to represent how EXO are currently battling with X-EXO and the Red Force for control. In EXO's MVs when you see red light or anything that is red, this represents the Red Force, and when you see blue light or anything that is blue, this is thought to represent EXO. Therefore, when you see red and blue in one scene or purple -- red and blue mixed together make purple -- this is showing how the line between the two sides is being blurred and they are fighting each other, etc. Since "Obsession" some think maybe EXO has been trapped somewhere from the very beginning and it has been X-EXO that we have been following all along. But I think it's still even more complex than that. I think at times we have been watching EXO and at times we have been watching X-EXO -- with the release of "Obsession" we have only just discovered that the story hasn't necessarily been showing EXO the whole time. With the new information provided to us through "Obsession," it also makes me question how Lay fits within the X-EXO/EXO storyline. Maybe he is one of the members who has been able to break free or avoid the Red Forces' control. In Lay's solo MV for "Sheep," the Allen Walker relift version, we see everything burning outside as if an apocalypse is happening. Maybe "Sheep" is showing us the planet burning from Lay's viewpoint, like we see the world burning at the end of the "Obsession" MV. Also, I believe that the storyline in "Obsession" is connected to SuperM's debut "Jopping" MV storyline. If you pay attention to what Baekhyun and Kai were wearing in "Obsession," those outfits are very similar to the black outfits that Baekhyun and Kai are wearing in the "Jopping" MV. Kai is even wearing the same backpack parachute in both MVs. Which seems to be SM Entertainment's way of making sure we see the connection between those MVs. So it is thought that, as part of SuperM's storyline, EXO has gathered the best of the best of SM's groups -- EXO, Taemin/SHINee, NCT/WayV -- to help them battle the Red Force and maybe eventually take down X-EXO. Just like the Marvel Avengers come together as individual superheroes with their own storylines to create the Avengers and to fight evil, it is thought that SuperM is coming together to create the ultimate supergroup to help EXO fight the evil and corruption inflicted on humanity by the Red Force. Unfortunately, to make it even more difficult to understand, each part of the story is not necessarily in chronological order, so we as EXO-L (EXO fans) have to become detectives and analyze every aspect of all of their teasers, MVs, song lyrics, albums, concert VCRs, choreography and even live performances and piece it all together to understand the story behind it all. And not only are EXO's and SuperM's MVs and storylines connected, but pretty much all of SM's groups have storylines and concepts that connect together, which is designed to become part of one giant graphic novel or movie in the SM Culture Universe. To help you pinpoint the powers being used in EXO's MVs and live performances, here is a list of the members and what their special power is. EXO-K 💦 Suho (Kim JunMyeon) is the leader of the group and he is a lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control water (Fun fact: Suho in Korean means guardian, as in the guardian of EXO. That's why as the leader of EXO, his stage name is Suho.) 💡Baekhyun is a main vocalist and his superpower is the ability to control light 🔥Chanyeol is the main rapper and lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control fire and his spirit animal is the phoenix. 🌏D.O. (Do KyungSoo) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control earth (dirt) which gives him strength/force ☄Kai (Kim JongIn) is a main dancer, lead vocalist and sub-rapper and his power is teleportation (Kai means opening as in a door or gateway, so his stage name is meant to symbolize his role in the group.) 🌪Sehun is the youngest member of the group and he is a lead rapper, lead dancer and a vocalist -- his power is the ability to control wind EXO-M ❄Xiumin (Kim MinSeok) is the oldest member of the group and he is a lead vocalist and lead rapper and his power is the ability to control snow/ice (frost) 🦄 Lay (Zhang Yixing) is the Chinese member of the group, he is a main dancer, lead vocalist and rapper -- his power is the ability to heal anything. 🌩 Chen (Kim JongDae) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control thunder/lightning/electricity (As you can see, Xiumin and Chen were given stage names that sounded more Chinese so they would fit in better in EXO-M because they are the Korean members of the Chinese group) The Chinese members who are no longer part of the group, but are still an important part of EXO's storyline: 🐉 Kris was the leader of EXO-M he was a main rapper and vocalist -- his power was the ability to fly and his spirit animal was a dragon (Kris left the group in April 2014.) 💭 Luhan was a main vocalist and his power was telekinesis (The ability to control things with his mind) (Luhan left the group in October 2014.) ⏰Tao (Z.Tao) was a lead rapper and vocalist and the martial artist of the group, so he did the flips and stunts in the group's routines. His power was the ability to control time (Tao ended activities with EXO in August 2015.)
you are in the right direction ;) The more you check out their music the more the story gets interesting. Recommend you react to more of EXO. They are my favorite group till now. They got my attention with their vocals and insane storyline. Even their solo incorporates with their superpower in the group. They are called "Vocal kings" for a reason, you know what I am saying. Thank you for reacting to EXO. Enjoyed and please react to more of their music.
Very surprised that you kinda caught up with the storyline for a first time listener. Thank you for taking in consideration the vocals, the rap, videography, and lyrics. Exo has a very complicated story line that I still don’t understand. Hope to see more reactions of exo. Thank you again 😊
Welcome to EXO Planet! They are known as the Vocal Kings. EXO is 9 members. 3 main vocalists (Baekhyun, Chen and DO) 2main rappers (Chanyeol and Sehun) 3 main dancers (Kai, Lay and Sehun) Suho the leader, Xiumin the ace of the group. All members are good in everything, dance, sing, rap, acting, model, visual. Thanks for the reaction!!! They are more impressive live!!!!
I love that you got the Obsession thing in the end, about the shadow part you can't get rid of in yourself. They are fighting their dark sides in the video....in the super powers aspect, they are fighting their x-exo villians doppelgangers.
Thank you so much for the reaction!! EXO live vocals and performances are insane!! EXO are all amazing soloists and when they all come together it's absolutely incredible!
the guy with the lip piercing is baekhyun, EXO main vocalist and he’s number on soloist in korea rn u should check him out. his solo tittle song called UN VILLAGE, Candy and Bambi
I'm happy you are finally checking out exo , if you like vocals then I'm sure you will like them i highly recommend reacting to tempo and call me be baby , and yes they can even sound better live then the recorded version so I can't wait for you to watch their live / side note the guy that hit the high notes both in monster and obsession is called chen he's one the best vocalists out there in kpop and I'm not even exaggerating
6:23This is the real, EXO songs are not only for listening, they have a story like there is a spy among them and they fight EXO clones and they have superpowers every member
"they have some good vocalist" i mean this group has literally 3 MAIN VOCALIST which is rare in any kpop group so... 🚶🏼♀️ Also, they holding the title "King of Vocals" for 10 years 🔥
You are right! They have amazing vocals, no wonder they earned the title as THE VOCAL KINGS!! But if I were to choose a complete package group, it would be EXO. They serve everything from heavenly vocals, on point rap, powerful choreo and insane stage presence. If you are amaze with their MV, you’ll be amaze more of their live concert performances which gave them THE BEST CONCERT AWARD and still currently holding the title as THE WORLD'S FASTEST SOLD OUT CONCERT in just 0.2 seconds. This group is totally insanely amazing. I highly suggest Tempo, Love Shot, Call Me Baby.
The VOCAL KINGS of Kpop.....ten years of career .....they never disappoint .....thanks for the reaction .....yeah ....definitely check out for the live performances of thses two ....they way better sings live....known for best ,stable live vocals of the kpop....
EXO is very consistent with their concept since their debut in 2012. to make it short, they're aliens from EXO Planet. they're fighting the Red Force.. their mvs always relate to their concept.. but the lyrics aren't always related to the mv, u get it? it's pretty hard, yes...
Glad you got into EXO....Enjoy your journey.....try Love Shot, Call Me Baby....But you have to try their debut EXO-K Mama MV...it tries to explain their story line a bit and shows their Super Powers. Then for a little bit of fun, try their MV Power.
A multi-talented kpop group, they're idol, great singer, actor, model, producer, songwriter, very good playing various music instruments One of the most respected group in the industry Well known for their above average vocal ability, people call them "the Kpop Vocal King" Got their title "the Nation's Pick" Being one of the most awarded kpop groups Maintain their career and popularity even in their hiatus as a full group Being a living legend ❤
You’ll notice the split screen in Obsession, the colored and black costume. That’s the x-exo vs exo. They are considered the vocal kings of kpop. Thank you for reacting to EXO.
You are right! In Obsession, they're fighting against their bad alter egos that are trying to take control over them. You can see how Sehun, the one with bow and arrows, aims at his counterpart in the yellow suit (which we call x-Exo) but still hurts himself. Which explains that the fight they're having is within themselves. To understand Exo MVs you should watch their debut song MAMA. They're aliens coming from Exo Planet and are on a mission to save and protect the Tree of Life from "an eye of the Red Force" who aims to destroy it. Each MV tells a bit of Exo's journey and we have to put all the pieces together to figure out what happened and, especially, when since they're not in chronological order. I believe that Obsession could be linked (in terms of storyline), to Lucky One (one of my favorites, highly recommend) where they are in a Red Force laboratory. I think that they injected these bad alter egos in them... Well, it sounds weird but if you ever give it a look, maybe it won't hahah Anyway, thank you for reacting to our vocal Kings of kpop, they are top tier artists both group and individually, they're discography is one of the most unique you're going to find! Please more Exo!
Obsession show the psychological conflict between bad thoughts and good thoughts that a person has. In other words, the good side and the bad side that make up a person's personality, which appears in the mv , where each member appears in two different looks in terms of makeup and clothing, which is what was called EXO and X EXO. This album is considered the first album of its kind in K-Pop to review this concept by reproducing the bad and good sides of one personality. In the same album, there is a song with the same concept that is considered a sequel to Ocean called Jekyll. It is very wonderful.
I Never get tired watching EXO and their music. React to their huge stage performances too. Even better than watching mv's to me. Tokyo dome, MAMA stages, MELON awards, EXOPLANET series etc.
EXO.. MOST TALENTED GROUP AND VOCAL KINGS OF KPOP 👑. 7/9 MEMBERS HAVE SOLO ALBUMS. 2COMING UP. 9/9 ARE MUSICAL/ TV/ MOVIE ACTORS. GLOBAL LUXURY BRANDS AMBASADORS.. DIOR,GUCCI,PRADA, VALENTINO, BURBERRY.BVLGARI, CK..THEY CAN DO ANY GENRES! THAT WHY I CAN'T STAN OTHER GROUP COZ THEY HAVE IT ALL!!
Great reaction! Thank you very much I suggest Tempo which is like a vocal festival, Call Me Baby a real pop hit, and Growl 2013 korean kpop anthem which every idol covered! EXO is a real gem in this industry they’re totally perfect…
At obsession song..the soft part..first guy is Suho(the leader of exo) then the one who hit the high notes of course our dear Chen..he is actually encharge of high notes. More exo songs please..
Thanks for your reaction. As others mentioned, EXO’s discography is huge. I’m looking forward to your EXO journey. You’ll definitely enjoy it. I’m a bay EXO-L, just for 1 year. Although I’ve spent a lot of time checking out their videos, i still find a lot I haven’t watched….
EXO tiene conceptos que llegan a ser diferentes a otros grupos y pues no sólo son de esos dos, tienes tantos de muchos tipos, monster y obsession son mis favoritos igual que otros, siento esa fuerza y lo que tratan de hacer y ENSERIO se disfruta mucho.
Yes I recommend Love Shot, Tempo, Call Me Baby and Growl. Their BSides are fire too. Nice reaction btw. Subscribed for EXO my boys ❤️ EXO is Standard. The Blueprint of Kpop.
Talking about the uniqueness of the sound, ATEEZ answer and also Wonderland is something that is suitable for you to see. they with the balance of their voices and high notes will amaze you. hope that you will see it too :)
Thank you for take your time to see our Boys. You should see other mvs of exo like Kokobop, love shot, Mama, don't fighter the feeling you will see that exo always COMEBACK with different types of music and styles. And that we love about them.
In the obsession MV, they showed a different side of Exo. Like their alter egos, a side that conflicts with their characters in Exo. They called themselves in this Obsession era X-Exo. And in every MV they keep lots of really cool theories
exo has a superpower concept and theyre from EXOplanet (basically theyre aliens) and in Obsession mv there are exo and their evil clones in the mv so the lyrics actually make sense (their concept is very deep and very interesting theres more depth to it) the ones wearing very colorful outfits and extra makeups are their evil clones and if u restart the mv and see the beginning it shows EXO and X-EXO (x-exo is the clones)
Exo has a storyline !! for obsession, the reason they’re saying stuff about being possessed is because of the red force~ in other words, exo are fighting with x-exo (the bad ones, they are their doppelgangers) in order to save exo planet… hope this makes sense!! Loved your reactions btw!! Hope you react to more exo songs!! I Recommend Tempo!!
Exo is the vocal king of kpop. Chen hit the high notes in both songs, also baekhyun and d.o can hit high notes easily! Yes they have superpower, they r aliens who came to earth to protect it from red force(exo's enemy in the storyline), but red force made their clones or did something to the members that's y they are fighting with their own selves (in obsession). Exo is just like Marvel or dc, exoplanet have their own theories, concepts etc. all their mv, solo projects, vcr are connected with each other! It’s so interesting
MORE EXO COMING SOON!
I'll definitely be there with your exo journey. I enjoyed your reaction dude 😎
Can't wait,
Can't wait hope there is TEMPO - That song is fire
Tempo and love shot please
Necesitas más reacciones de EXO después de oírlo tu visión del kpop cambiará ❤
I can never get tired of EXO's vocals and harmonies❤️❤️
Another level.....

True kings! The most mistreated group! No ads group! No promotion group! No sympathetic documentary group! To be honest idk how EXO survived for a long time and ATE! They are so big!!! Before the rise of overhyped korean groups in the west, EXO were the realest!!! Golden days of kpop! But hey they will come back again soon and every one is already losing their minds! KINGS ARE COMING!
They survived on pure talent and passion to perform for their fans no matter what... My babies 🥺
Even when they got hurt, they hid their pains in the bestest way possible! I remember kyungsoo getting hurt during mama performance in their rookie days, he was in so much pain but still even other members didn’t know at that time. Kyungsoo completed their performance, came down from the stage n then fainted! But as exo don't like mediaplay, we dont have any video or pic of that time! They always silently enduring all the pain & mistreatments from sm, but acting like nothing happened..
Their leader?
@@yeolsyeobo7509 This is so true. They don’t use their difficulties to get sympathetic support from people, they only survive on pure talent. That story about kyungsoo is true that’s why they were incomplete when they accepted their daesang. Chanyeol also had hypoxia which is a very dangerous condition. There’s a clip that circulated before where you can see everyone rushing backstage because of his attacks and even sehun was shouting “hyung lie down!” but he never used it to gain sympathy. Lay has hemophilia, we only found out about this when there’s a particular choreo in call me baby where he needs to put his hand in front of the camera and we saw that it was bleeding in multiple videos and other fansite photos. I love them for not using mediaplay. EXO true talented kings.
@@god5498 EXO’s leader is named SUHO. I believe the strongest leader in kpop. Lost 3 members and got criticized by it even though it is not his fault but the company’s. But he still managed to lead the team well. The day the first ex-member quit, exo needs to receive an award, but since all the members where in shock, he came ALONE in that award show facing all the media.
the one who hits the high note for both songs is Chen. and you're right abt they've superpowers.. EXO is very consistent with their concept since their debut in 2012. to make it short, they're aliens from EXO Planet. they're fighting the Red Force.. their mvs always relate to their concept.. but the lyrics isn't always related to the mv, u get it? it's quite hard, yes.. 😂 anyway, each members has their own superpowers: Frost, Water, Healing, Light, Thunder, Fire, Force, Teleportation & Wind.. there are 3 more, but the members already left.. so, they're 9 now..
Good explanation girl 👏😍

The song's music video concept on 'Obsession' is the EXO fighting their alter-ego named 'X-EXO'. And the one who hit the high notes is Chen!

There are two meaning for the song:
1. Exo has a storyline, they came in the past to our planet from their planet (exoplanet) to fight the red force that wants to the destruction of our world, the three of life and take exo powers(each member have a power). In this video the red force created evil dark alter-ego from each member and their powers( the ones in strange outfits and are called x-exo) so exo(the ones in black outfits) are fighting them to protect the world.
2. The second meaning is that EXO as artist wanted to fight the bad feelings that came with the fame and success. They are the second most popular and successful group of kpop in history, but even with all of that they want to maintain themselves humble, hard working and thankful.
Pd: I love your reaction. I hope you can react to them more. Exo are well known for their stage presence so I hope you can react to mama + monster + wolf(mix) live.
Thank you Jordan for taking time to react to our boys Exo and appreciating their music. They are a decade old group and have a vast discography for you to check out. Will love to see you enjoy your journey with Exo. They are spectacular and their live performance is top notch. Do check it out. Thank you once again..
You are right ..yes they are Exo and x-Exo Fighting ..it s deep story about Exo 10years ago in their mvs it's fun amazing i recomenterd more Exo thanks

Who is that man. That man is the beast. Top tier vocalist Chen. Vocal killer. Exo is all vocalists but has main parts within the group
EXO actually follows a long story line since predebut (they started the theory trend in kpop) so all mvs are connected. It's very hard to explain but maybe google can give you some intro to it.
EXO songs are always multilayered in many respects: vocals have 2-3 layers as they have all kinds of vocals and all 9 of them are very good vocalists (including the powerhouse of kpop - the 3 main vocalists, the main dancers and rappers, all can SING so well) , the music is also very complex and always multilayered. That's why for me, an opera lover, EXO are the only group I'd give an arm and a leg to see live. Vocals and music of higher quality than anyone else.
EXO are known for their vocals, their live concerts will blow you away
If you want to see a mind blowing performance of Monster then I recommend 3 in one: MAMA+Monster+Wolf from Tokyo Dome. EXO is the golden standard and after this performance you'll understand why 😉

In order to understand the story in EXO's "Monster" MV, as well as all of EXO's content, you have to know that it's all connected, and every new piece that's introduced explains a little more of EXO's story. Each MV is like another chapter in SM Entertainment's SM Culture Universe storyline and it's all part of a larger story that also includes the majority of SM's other groups' and artists' storylines. It's like one giant graphic novel or mystery movie series.
Everything EXO is involved in, and I literally mean almost everything -- including all of their MVs, the majority of their sub-sub-unit MVs and members' solo MVs, teaser videos, concert stages, concert VCRs (videos played in between sets at concerts) and choreography, as well as special content included with their albums, etc. -- is designed to help tell a little more of EXO's story.
"Monster" was released in 2016, so there are 9 members in this MV.
As the English lines in "Monster" say ... They're "Creeping, Creeping Creeping .... Creeping in your heart babe" "You can call me Monster (because) I'm creeping in your heart babe." "She got me goin' crazy." The song's called "Monster," so the words are about acting like a monster: "Don't be afraid, love is the way ... I'm sorry, you make me sooo craaaazzzy, you know you dooooo."
So the floating watch and the car that is on fire in reverse, etc., I think was -- on top of being a metaphor in the story -- also supposed to be the members using their superpowers. And the snake, like a monster, mirrors the beat of the song, which kind of slithers like a snake as a metaphor for the way the guy slithers in and out of the relationship stealing warmth and affection from the girl, but in the end, leaving her cold and alone like a cold-blooded snake, etc. The snake is also red, which means that it most likely represents something to do with the the Red Force.
As you discovered, the lyrics of the song have very little to do with the story in the MV. In the song the members are talking about a girl and they are telling the girl that "You can call me Monster" because I know I am bad for you and I will ruin you. I know that when we are over that I will have destroyed everything that is good about you, but I don't care because I want you so much that it doesn't matter to me. But the MV is about EXO's origin story and about the fact that they have come to Earth on a mission.
Also, the majority of the choreography for "Monster" has to do with the members using their powers, so when/if you watch the dance practice and/or a live performance, if you know what you are looking for, you will see that each move is done for a very specific reason. The X they make to represent EXO is only the beginning of the story in their choreography.
For example, D.O. has the power of super strength, so during his part in the song and choreography you will see that he waves his hands and the other members are pushed away from him or pulled toward him. When you see Suho in the middle of the group and they have a hold of his arms, he rotates his body around like swirling water because Suho has the power to control water. Xiumin has the power to control snow/ice/frost, so during one part of the choreography you will see that each of the members pause as if frozen as he moves in front of them. You see Kai slide backward and forward into the center of the group while waving his arms to represent him teleporting. And when Chanyeol jumps over Lay, Sehun and Xiumin, this could be him using his phoenix fire wings to fly, or it could be showing him leaping over flames because his power is the ability to control fire. Sehun has the power to control wind, so during his parts, you will see the other members shuffle around him as if they are creating a windstorm. And when they sit on the ground with their one knee in the air and rotate their bodies, it's supposed to represent a sundial -- EXO gets their power from the eclipse and their powers are affected by planetary and solar phenomenon, so the sundial is meant to represent the passing of time and their connection to the sun.
You should also make note that "Lotto" is a prequel to "Monster," so when you watch their "Lotto" MV, just keep in mind that what you saw happen in "Monster" is what is going to take place after or in conjunction with the events in "Lotto".
How "Monster" and "Lotto" tie into EXOs larger storyline is a little open ended, but because "Lotto" is thought to be the prequel to "Monster," I think the story starts out in "Lotto" where the members have somehow infiltrated this big gambling ring and are undercover as they work to uncover a clue or something they need in order to accomplish their tasks here on Earth. I think the underground gambling establishment is run by a gang of bad guys who are probably members of the Red Force.
"Lotto" is where we are introduced to a girl who is being held captive. And ultimately, I think what EXO are trying to do is rescue the girl from the Red Force, but they are trying to do it without blowing their cover or being found out. So, that's why you see in "Lotto," and continued in "Monster," the members are fighting against the police because the police have come in to take down the gambling ring and rescue the girl, which is also what EXO are trying to do. However, the members of EXO don't want to be discovered, so they play along as if they are part of the bad guys. EXO are supposed to be going about their tasks here on Earth incognito, and humanity is never supposed to find out that EXO are other-worldly beings, so they are trying to keep a low profile.
As we see in the end of "Monster," Baekhyun disguises himself as one of the police and helps the other members escape from the back of the police van before they are taken to jail and/or captured by the Red Force, etc. (However, if you look closely, the members who are in the back of the police van are dressed in red, so the ones who Baekhyun rescued may be X-EXO and not EXO like we originally thought. Although I'm not sure whether at this point Baekhyun realizes these aren't the EXO members. Or maybe Baekhyun is also a member of X-EXO. Just another giant mystery we have yet to solve.)
You also see Lay, EXO's Chinese member, crouched in the middle of what looks like a pile of people -- I'm not sure whether these are the FBI agents, or if these are members of the Red Force -- and I think he is checking to make sure they are OK and possibly trying to use his power of healing to fix things and heal the injured.
Because some theories believe that EXO are traveling between time periods and dimensions, I think in "Monster" they also might be showing how some of the members are arriving on scene at different moments in the timeline of events that are taking place in the MV -- the members don't necessarily arrive at the location together -- as explained in their Pathcode teaser videos leading up to their "Call Me Baby" comeback. For instance, in "Monster" you also see Kai standing on or near a giant pile of people as well, and he seems to be standing over them. Some have pointed to this as possibly showing evil X-EXO Kai -- Kai's alter ego clone that was created by the Red Forced and introduced in EXO's "Obsession" MV -- who has done something bad, but I think this may be showing good EXO Kai, who has just shown up at that moment, observing what has taken place. Because Kai has the power of teleportation he is the one that is in charge of bringing the members together and traveling between time and space, so I think he has shown up from a different time or place and is now trying to figure out what has happened, etc.
As you saw in their "Obsession" MV, the members in the bright colored clothing with the crazy makeup and hair are supposed to be X-EXO and the ones in the black or dark colored clothing are supposed to be EXO. So, in the parts where they are dressed in all black in "Monster" I think this is showing EXO, and where you see them in the clothing with red accents, this might by showing X-EXO. At the time when "Monster" was first released, we had no idea about X-EXO's existence, but since "Obsession", we have started to go back and reanalyze some of their older MVs, and it appears that what we thought was always EXO, may have been in fact X-EXO some of the time.
As you can see, EXO's story is always evolving and changing, and just when you think you have one part understood, SM introduces a new piece of the story and changes the direction of the narrative.
Also pay attention to when you see red and blue. In EXO's MVs when you see red light or red objects this is where the Red Force has control, and when you see blue light or blue objects this is where EXO has the upperhand. However, if you see purple or red and blue in the same scene this is when EXO and the Red Force are battling for control -- red and blue mixed together make purple.
Unfortunately, as you can see, what makes EXO's storyline even more difficult to follow is the fact that nothing is ever in chronological order. So you really have to pay close attention to every detail, to even begin to make connections.
I was completely clueless, this helps a lot
@@mapalomukupa6459 Awesome. I'm grad I could help. You're the reason why I take the time to write these comments. I appreciate the feedback.
EXO is a top-tier, multi-talented Kpop group, known to be the vocal kings of Kpop. Being so diverse (each member has his own sound), their group harmonies & vocal range are extremely good. They have the most varied discography in Kpop. They have covered almost all genres w/ different vocal techniques. EXO's MVs are somehow linked. This is the idol group that helped spread the Korean wave internationally & considered to be one of the most influential acts in Kpop. This is the group that ended the 12-year drought in the Korean music industry. They may have been inactive as a group due to conscription but, amazingly, they have maintained their popularity & continue to influence new gen of Kpop. Pls check EXO's live performances as these are true testaments that this group is in a class of their own. Thanks for your reaction.
In Obsession EXO represent EXO and their alter egos - X-EXO. It's connected to their concept. They were the first to have a very complicated and detailed concept. And before 2018 you could see that they collected awards at every award show like no one else before, the whole venue was just an EXO concert. They're record breaking group in many respects
EXO is the best in the world, thank you for your reaction we need more for EXO
When it comes to exo, you won't get disappointed with their VOCALS. A lot of kpop groups respect them so much since they've debuted year 2012 too, and that they're real talented. Members aren't just idols but actors, models, multi talented, ambassadors and have good education too. They're legends, and a lot of kpop fans salutes them as well, they're well known not just in Korea but internationally too. Received award even when they're not promoting, members working hard even if they're in military. That's a great flex.
Jordan's in for a treat with EXO haha, their discography including their album tracks are literally golden. My favorite boy group ever.
My reaction was kinda same when I heard Chen's high note for the first time. He's really an amazing artist and also a person!!!
Obsession is all about fighting there own alter egos hehehe and all of the mv of exo are connected with each other based on the storyline . And yes they have super powers
Suho =water
Baekhyun= light
Chanyeol=fire
D.O= force
Kai=teleportation
Lay=healing
Chen=thunder
Xiumin=frost
Sehun=wind
They are called the VOCAL KINGS OF KPOP
they debuted in 2012 with 9 members.
The one who hit the high notes hes name is chen thankyou for this i highly recommend for your next reaction is EXO LOVESHOT AND EXO TEMPO 🥰😍
Thank You for reacting to EXO🥺
I bet you'll love their Live performances.❤️
Their live vocals are insane.
Exo are THE vocal kings of kpop I recommend you check out El dorado lyrics+ performance, call me baby, the eve and tempo
Just want to inform that EXO is King of Vocal. Next exo song please . It can be "call me baby " or " growl". 😊
They've been out of the scene for a long time. They are still the richest Group in K-Pop 😂.
The power
The sport is called fencing. And you’re right about the Obsession song, besides fighting their evil selves, the lyrics refer to the crazy fans (called saesangs)that obsess to the point of invading their privacy thus the continuing lyrics “I want you” and the response “I don’t think so”.
EXO ARE KINGS OF VOCALS 🔥 THE GUY WHO HIT THAT NOTE HIS NAME IS CHEN ❤ HE IS THE MAIN VOCALIST
EXO is the EXO of the Vocals band. I did not see an integrated band and all of them can sing, for example, except for EXO. There is a famous phrase that says, “If everyone was looking for talent and not the trend, they would have become EXO fans.”
Obsession is a story about EXO fighting their own alter ego that we are called X-EXO. It's like Hyde & Jekyll, Bruce & Hulk, Wanda & Scarlet Witch, Anakin & Darth Vader..etc.
X-EXO even have their own official twitter. 😭
Exo indeed have super power, it's shown in all over their MV.
Hope you get to see all of them.
Welcome to greatness. EXO is the best of the best in everything, especially live vocals and performances. They are vocal kings, all can sing and dance. The more you’ll listen to them the more you’ll get hooked.
I have never seen a group whose members all have great and perfect vocals and visuals like EXO they really do have everything
Exo well known as king of vocal in kpop industry..nvr mind if it's confusing about the storyline..bcs thier storyline kind of complicated..it's hard to dissect thier story unless you have to know the from thier debut.. because they're from another planet and each of them have thier own super powers.. when you know them from thier guide then you can understand how thier storylines work
What you saw in the "Obsession" MV was that EXO's doppelgangers were actually their alter ego clones and they were using their superpowers, such as Chanyeol with his fire power, Sehun uses his wind power to deflect the arrows, Baekhyun uses his power of light as a saber in the fencing battle, and Suho (the one with red hair) controls water in the room with all the pictures of water, etc. to fight their other selves. You see the planet on fire in the end of the MV because it's supposed to show how the world is coming to an end as EXO (the good guys in all black) and X-EXO (the evil ones in the colorful outfits with crazy hair and makeup) battle for control, etc. (Each of the members are playing 2 different characters -- there are only 6 people in this MV.)
X-EXO has been created by the evil Red Force and EXO and X-EXO are fighting each other. EXO are trying to prevent X-EXO from taking over and corrupting humanity and X-EXO are trying to stop EXO from finding the Tree of Life and putting the two halves back together and restoring peace, etc.
To truly understand EXO you need to be aware that EXO debuted in 2012. "Mama" is EXO's debut song and MV and it is how EXO was introduced to the world and it explains the group's concept -- and since then, everything SM does branches off from that storyline. From day one, EXO'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 Red Forces. Each of the members has a superpower that is unique to them and almost every MV will have at least one, if not all of them, using their powers.
Now you also need to know that In the beginning there was 12 members and they were split up into 2 groups EXO-K and EXO-M. EXO-K sang and performed their songs in Korean and EXO-M sang and performed those same songs in Mandarin Chinese. EXO-K had 6 Korean members and EXO-M had 4 Chinese members and 2 Korean members. So to really understand their full origin story you have to watch both the K and the M version of "Mama", because the EXO-K version focuses on the K members and their powers and the EXO-M version focuses on the M members and their powers.
However, since then, 3 of the 4 Chinese members have left the group (short answer to focus on their solo work back in China) but there is still one Chinese member left, Lay. (Any performances or MVs you watch that took place prior to May 2014 you will see all 12 members.) However, now -- because they no longer have enough Chinese members -- they no longer do separate promotions, but they still produce almost all of their MVs and main songs in both Korean and Mandarin they just now promote all as one big group EXO with 9 members. However, in the "Obsession" MV there are only 6 members -- Suho, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, Kai and Sehun -- because 2 of the members -- D.O. and Xiumin -- are on hiatus during this comeback as they serve in the military; and due to the political issues between the Korean and Chinese government, Lay -- their Chinese member -- was unable to participate in activities with the group.
So each new MV or project from EXO tells another part of the story, and over the years we fans have started to create a timeline and idea of what we think each part of the story is telling us. However, the introduction of "Obsession's" part of the story really threw all of our theories for a loop and it has made us question everything we have ever thought was happening in EXO's storyline.
The MV starts out with the red and blue light because it's supposed to represent how EXO are currently battling with X-EXO and the Red Force for control. In EXO's MVs when you see red light or anything that is red, this represents the Red Force, and when you see blue light or anything that is blue, this is thought to represent EXO. Therefore, when you see red and blue in one scene or purple -- red and blue mixed together make purple -- this is showing how the line between the two sides is being blurred and they are fighting each other, etc.
Since "Obsession" some think maybe EXO has been trapped somewhere from the very beginning and it has been X-EXO that we have been following all along. But I think it's still even more complex than that. I think at times we have been watching EXO and at times we have been watching X-EXO -- with the release of "Obsession" we have only just discovered that the story hasn't necessarily been showing EXO the whole time.
With the new information provided to us through "Obsession," it also makes me question how Lay fits within the X-EXO/EXO storyline. Maybe he is one of the members who has been able to break free or avoid the Red Forces' control. In Lay's solo MV for "Sheep," the Allen Walker relift version, we see everything burning outside as if an apocalypse is happening. Maybe "Sheep" is showing us the planet burning from Lay's viewpoint, like we see the world burning at the end of the "Obsession" MV.
Also, I believe that the storyline in "Obsession" is connected to SuperM's debut "Jopping" MV storyline. If you pay attention to what Baekhyun and Kai were wearing in "Obsession," those outfits are very similar to the black outfits that Baekhyun and Kai are wearing in the "Jopping" MV. Kai is even wearing the same backpack parachute in both MVs. Which seems to be SM Entertainment's way of making sure we see the connection between those MVs. So it is thought that, as part of SuperM's storyline, EXO has gathered the best of the best of SM's groups -- EXO, Taemin/SHINee, NCT/WayV -- to help them battle the Red Force and maybe eventually take down X-EXO. Just like the Marvel Avengers come together as individual superheroes with their own storylines to create the Avengers and to fight evil, it is thought that SuperM is coming together to create the ultimate supergroup to help EXO fight the evil and corruption inflicted on humanity by the Red Force.
Unfortunately, to make it even more difficult to understand, each part of the story is not necessarily in chronological order, so we as EXO-L (EXO fans) have to become detectives and analyze every aspect of all of their teasers, MVs, song lyrics, albums, concert VCRs, choreography and even live performances and piece it all together to understand the story behind it all. And not only are EXO's and SuperM's MVs and storylines connected, but pretty much all of SM's groups have storylines and concepts that connect together, which is designed to become part of one giant graphic novel or movie in the SM Culture Universe.
To help you pinpoint the powers being used in EXO's MVs and live performances, here is a list of the members and what their special power is.
EXO-K
💦 Suho (Kim JunMyeon) is the leader of the group and he is a lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control water (Fun fact: Suho in Korean means guardian, as in the guardian of EXO. That's why as the leader of EXO, his stage name is Suho.)
💡Baekhyun is a main vocalist and his superpower is the ability to control light
🔥Chanyeol is the main rapper and lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control fire and his spirit animal is the phoenix.
🌏D.O. (Do KyungSoo) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control earth (dirt) which gives him strength/force
☄Kai (Kim JongIn) is a main dancer, lead vocalist and sub-rapper and his power is teleportation (Kai means opening as in a door or gateway, so his stage name is meant to symbolize his role in the group.)
🌪Sehun is the youngest member of the group and he is a lead rapper, lead dancer and a vocalist -- his power is the ability to control wind
EXO-M
❄Xiumin (Kim MinSeok) is the oldest member of the group and he is a lead vocalist and lead rapper and his power is the ability to control snow/ice (frost)
🦄 Lay (Zhang Yixing) is the Chinese member of the group, he is a main dancer, lead vocalist and rapper -- his power is the ability to heal anything.
🌩 Chen (Kim JongDae) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control thunder/lightning/electricity
(As you can see, Xiumin and Chen were given stage names that sounded more Chinese so they would fit in better in EXO-M because they are the Korean members of the Chinese group)
The Chinese members who are no longer part of the group, but are still an important part of EXO's storyline:
🐉 Kris was the leader of EXO-M he was a main rapper and vocalist -- his power was the ability to fly and his spirit animal was a dragon (Kris left the group in April 2014.)
💭 Luhan was a main vocalist and his power was telekinesis (The ability to control things with his mind) (Luhan left the group in October 2014.)
⏰Tao (Z.Tao) was a lead rapper and vocalist and the martial artist of the group, so he did the flips and stunts in the group's routines. His power was the ability to control time (Tao ended activities with EXO in August 2015.)
you are in the right direction ;) The more you check out their music the more the story gets interesting. Recommend you react to more of EXO. They are my favorite group till now. They got my attention with their vocals and insane storyline. Even their solo incorporates with their superpower in the group. They are called "Vocal kings" for a reason, you know what I am saying. Thank you for reacting to EXO. Enjoyed and please react to more of their music.
to your question of 14:56, he's Chen, he's the main vocalist of the group
Versatile kings when it comes to music genres, they are perfect when it comes to vocals
Very surprised that you kinda caught up with the storyline for a first time listener. Thank you for taking in consideration the vocals, the rap, videography, and lyrics. Exo has a very complicated story line that I still don’t understand. Hope to see more reactions of exo. Thank you again 😊
Welcome to EXO Planet!
They are known as the Vocal Kings.

I love that you got the Obsession thing in the end, about the shadow part you can't get rid of in yourself. They are fighting their dark sides in the video....in the super powers aspect, they are fighting their x-exo villians doppelgangers.
Exo all their vocals are crazy🔥 thank you very very very much for this video❤
Thank you for reacting to Exo , they are king of vocals
Thank you so much for the reaction!! EXO live vocals and performances are insane!! EXO are all amazing soloists and when they all come together it's absolutely incredible!
Thank you for reacting to EXO, my only one kpop group I ever love and stan for.
Yes it’s the same guy hitting those highnotes !! He’s Chen, one of the best vocalists in the whole kpop industry ❤🔥
the guy with the lip piercing is baekhyun, EXO main vocalist and he’s number on soloist in korea rn u should check him out. his solo tittle song called UN VILLAGE, Candy and Bambi
I'm happy you are finally checking out exo , if you like vocals then I'm sure you will like them i highly recommend reacting to tempo and call me be baby , and yes they can even sound better live then the recorded version so I can't wait for you to watch their live / side note the guy that hit the high notes both in monster and obsession is called chen he's one the best vocalists out there in kpop and I'm not even exaggerating
6:23This is the real, EXO songs are not only for listening, they have a story like there is a spy among them and they fight EXO clones and they have superpowers every member
"they have some good vocalist" i mean this group has literally 3 MAIN VOCALIST which is rare in any kpop group so... 🚶🏼♀️
Also, they holding the title "King of Vocals" for 10 years 🔥
You are right! They have amazing vocals, no wonder they earned the title as THE VOCAL KINGS!! But if I were to choose a complete package group, it would be EXO. They serve everything from heavenly vocals, on point rap, powerful choreo and insane stage presence. If you are amaze with their MV, you’ll be amaze more of their live concert performances which gave them THE BEST CONCERT AWARD and still currently holding the title as THE WORLD'S FASTEST SOLD OUT CONCERT in just 0.2 seconds. This group is totally insanely amazing. I highly suggest Tempo, Love Shot, Call Me Baby.
The VOCAL KINGS of Kpop.....ten years of career .....they never disappoint .....thanks for the reaction .....yeah ....definitely check out for the live performances of thses two ....they way better sings live....known for best ,stable live vocals of the kpop....
EXO is very consistent with their concept since their debut in 2012. to make it short, they're aliens from EXO Planet. they're fighting the Red Force.. their mvs always relate to their concept.. but the lyrics aren't always related to the mv, u get it? it's pretty hard, yes...
Yes, that's Chen - the same guy who hit the high note in Monster.
ohooooww, Chen's vocal is definitely crazy all the time.. goshh
Thanks for checking out EXO!! I would really recommend watching Love shot, Call me baby, the eve (dance practice as it doesn't have an MV and Lotto!
For Obsession live I recommend a compilation of 2 performances "X-EXO vs EXO" version. The boys worked so hard to deliver.
Glad you got into EXO....Enjoy your journey.....try Love Shot, Call Me Baby....But you have to try their debut EXO-K Mama MV...it tries to explain their story line a bit and shows their Super Powers. Then for a little bit of fun, try their MV Power.
A multi-talented kpop group, they're idol, great singer, actor, model, producer, songwriter, very good playing various music instruments
One of the most respected group in the industry
Well known for their above average vocal ability, people call them "the Kpop Vocal King"
Got their title "the Nation's Pick"
Being one of the most awarded kpop groups
Maintain their career and popularity even in their hiatus as a full group
Being a living legend ❤
Thank you for your reaction
EXO FOREVER
You’ll notice the split screen in Obsession, the colored and black costume. That’s the x-exo vs exo. They are considered the vocal kings of kpop. Thank you for reacting to EXO.
You are right! In Obsession, they're fighting against their bad alter egos that are trying to take control over them. You can see how Sehun, the one with bow and arrows, aims at his counterpart in the yellow suit (which we call x-Exo) but still hurts himself. Which explains that the fight they're having is within themselves. To understand Exo MVs you should watch their debut song MAMA. They're aliens coming from Exo Planet and are on a mission to save and protect the Tree of Life from "an eye of the Red Force" who aims to destroy it. Each MV tells a bit of Exo's journey and we have to put all the pieces together to figure out what happened and, especially, when since they're not in chronological order. I believe that Obsession could be linked (in terms of storyline), to Lucky One (one of my favorites, highly recommend) where they are in a Red Force laboratory. I think that they injected these bad alter egos in them... Well, it sounds weird but if you ever give it a look, maybe it won't hahah
Anyway, thank you for reacting to our vocal Kings of kpop, they are top tier artists both group and individually, they're discography is one of the most unique you're going to find! Please more Exo!
Obsession show the psychological conflict between bad thoughts and good thoughts that a person has. In other words, the good side and the bad side that make up a person's personality, which appears in the mv , where each member appears in two different looks in terms of makeup and clothing, which is what was called EXO and X EXO. This album is considered the first album of its kind in K-Pop to review this concept by reproducing the bad and good sides of one personality. In the same album, there is a song with the same concept that is considered a sequel to Ocean called Jekyll. It is very wonderful.
I Never get tired watching EXO and their music. React to their huge stage performances too. Even better than watching mv's to me. Tokyo dome, MAMA stages, MELON awards, EXOPLANET series etc.
The vocal kings of kpop 🥰😍😍
More exo reaction pls...they are so good...exo is the kings of vocals💯
EXO.. MOST TALENTED GROUP AND VOCAL KINGS OF KPOP 👑. 7/9 MEMBERS HAVE SOLO ALBUMS. 2COMING UP. 9/9 ARE MUSICAL/ TV/ MOVIE ACTORS. GLOBAL LUXURY BRANDS AMBASADORS.. DIOR,GUCCI,PRADA, VALENTINO, BURBERRY.BVLGARI, CK..THEY CAN DO ANY GENRES! THAT WHY I CAN'T STAN OTHER GROUP COZ THEY HAVE IT ALL!!
Great reaction! Thank you very much I suggest Tempo which is like a vocal festival, Call Me Baby a real pop hit, and Growl 2013 korean kpop anthem which every idol covered! EXO is a real gem in this industry they’re totally perfect…
At obsession song..the soft part..first guy is Suho(the leader of exo) then the one who hit the high notes of course our dear Chen..he is actually encharge of high notes.
More exo songs please..
Thanks for your reaction. As others mentioned, EXO’s discography is huge. I’m looking forward to your EXO journey. You’ll definitely enjoy it. I’m a bay EXO-L, just for 1 year. Although I’ve spent a lot of time checking out their videos, i still find a lot I haven’t watched….
EXO - Mama+monster+wolf - amazing performance
9:32 This is Baekhyun and you need to react to his songs. For example "Bambi"
Baekhyun’s ‘Get You Alone’ ‘Candy’ and ‘Bambi’ are soo good definitely recommend checking those out. he’s one of the main vocalists he is phenomenal.
how nice to see your reaction to EXO oh love it. Hope you can check out more of their masterpiece
EXO tiene conceptos que llegan a ser diferentes a otros grupos y pues no sólo son de esos dos, tienes tantos de muchos tipos, monster y obsession son mis favoritos igual que otros, siento esa fuerza y lo que tratan de hacer y ENSERIO se disfruta mucho.
the heavenly highnote guy is Chen~
The person you asked about, who sings the high notes, is Chen 💙
I’m glad you explained that you’re 21, I almost lost my shit cause i thought you’re 16 and read the lyrics 😂
worthy of 1billion net worth... That's my babiesss..
Yes I recommend Love Shot, Tempo, Call Me Baby and Growl. Their BSides are fire too. Nice reaction btw. Subscribed for EXO my boys ❤️ EXO is Standard. The Blueprint of Kpop.
For me as a Blink and Elf(superjunior fan) , EXO is the best boy group they're literally the kpop kings (in my opinion)
I saw EXO and I subscribed.
Talking about the uniqueness of the sound, ATEEZ answer and also Wonderland is something that is suitable for you to see. they with the balance of their voices and high notes will amaze you. hope that you will see it too :)
both iconic high note from main vocalist CHEN
Thank you for take your time to see our Boys. You should see other mvs of exo like Kokobop, love shot, Mama, don't fighter the feeling you will see that exo always COMEBACK with different types of music and styles. And that we love about them.
I'm an exo-l since 2012 and never been enjoying a reaction video like this one. Never been this proud!
If you watch their debut song "Mama", that could help you to understand more about their storyline.
Please keep supporting our boys! ❤️🥰🥰
He is Baekhyun, the main vocalist of EXO
i listen to this song since it released, but everytime i listen+watch the mv again i always get goosebumps
For solos you should check out Baekhyun(the one with the lip ring in monster) - Bambi, all I got, cry for love and candy
In the obsession MV, they showed a different side of Exo. Like their alter egos, a side that conflicts with their characters in Exo. They called themselves in this Obsession era X-Exo. And in every MV they keep lots of really cool theories
exo has a superpower concept and theyre from EXOplanet (basically theyre aliens) and in Obsession mv there are exo and their evil clones in the mv so the lyrics actually make sense (their concept is very deep and very interesting theres more depth to it)
the ones wearing very colorful outfits and extra makeups are their evil clones and if u restart the mv and see the beginning it shows EXO and X-EXO (x-exo is the clones)
Thank you for this exo reaction, i'll look forward for more
Exo has a storyline !! for obsession, the reason they’re saying stuff about being possessed is because of the red force~ in other words, exo are fighting with x-exo (the bad ones, they are their doppelgangers) in order to save exo planet… hope this makes sense!! Loved your reactions btw!! Hope you react to more exo songs!! I Recommend Tempo!!
In the end of the first song he was already in the vibe hahahahahahahahaha I LOVED IT!
on the 'Obssession' Mv they talking about their alter ego which called X-EXO
Exo is the vocal king of kpop. Chen hit the high notes in both songs, also baekhyun and d.o can hit high notes easily! Yes they have superpower, they r aliens who came to earth to protect it from red force(exo's enemy in the storyline), but red force made their clones or did something to the members that's y they are fighting with their own selves (in obsession). Exo is just like Marvel or dc, exoplanet have their own theories, concepts etc. all their mv, solo projects, vcr are connected with each other! It’s so interesting
Легенда и короли к-попа EXO😊
Loved your reaction~ waiting for more Exo reactions~~~
