EXO's "History" MV is supposed to be an introduction for EXO and it was meant to begin to establish their storyline and concept as a group. As aliens from Planet Exo, the members are about to be sent to Earth on a mission. "History" is thought to be about how EXO are still on Planet Exo and they are preparing to be sent to Earth. So that is why it has a very futuristic look and feel to it. There isn't a whole lot of story because it is a pre-debut MV so this was meant to just introduce the members and establish their concept. "History" is EXO's second pre-debut track. It came out about 2 months after their first pre-debut song and MV "What is Love," and about 2 months before "Mama," which is EXO's official debut, so this is more than 8 years ago. Actually their origin story starts with "Mama." "History" is just the introduction of the storyline and it explains what led up to the events in "Mama.". As you might have noticed, in the EXO-K version of "History" you only saw the EXO-K members singing, and in the middle of the song you see them flash to the EXO-M members, however, in the EXO-M version you see that the EXO-M members are the main characters in the story and they only show the EXO-K members briefly. This establishes how the two groups are separate and yet still are all part of one group which is EXO. Both versions of their MVs may look the same on the surface, but the story is slightly different because it is being told from a different angle or different perspective in each version. To understand the story in their "History" MV this is one time where it is helpful to look up the lyrics. The song is called "History" and in the lyrics they talk about making history. It's about failing at something and trying again to make it right. So, the theory is that in this part of the story EXO made some sort of unknown "big mistake" on their planet, so they have been sent to Earth to try and right their wrongs by trying to prevent the Red Force from causing a "big mistake" or prevent humanity from allowing a "big mistake" to happen on Earth. They are trying to prevent "History" from repeating itself. And they want to make "History" here on Earth. It establishes the whole reason why EXO are fighting against the Red Force and why they need to find the Tree of Life and restore peace. They can't let whatever happened on their planet happen again on Earth, etc. However, just so you know, we didn't fully understand that was what the MV and song was trying to tell us, until several years later, after we had more context to go on after we had several other MV stories and more information. But that is why we say, if you want to try and follow EXO's story you have to pay attention to everything and you have to remember as much detail about everything you have ever seen and heard from EXO. Because although you might think you understand one piece of EXO's story, with every new release from EXO, we get a little more information, and, sometimes it helps to confirm what we thought to be true and sometimes it turns the whole theory on its head and makes us realize what was happening wasn't what we thought after all.
What complicates this even more is the fact that almost nothing in their storyline is in chronological order, so we, as EXO-Ls, have to become detectives and analyze every aspect of everything any of the members are involved in to try and piece it all together and figure out where each part fits within their larger storyline. And I literally mean everything, from their teaser videos, to their MVs, to their song lyrics and live performances, concert VCRs and even some of their choreography, as well as their sub-unit and solo work. Everything EXO does is connected. To see their dancing better, check out the dance practice for "History" the choreography is very unique. They have an EXO-K dance practice and an EXO-M dance practice. And it's one of their few choreographies where the two groups are not combined because they were completely separate groups in this MV. The part of the dance where they put their hands in their pockets and shake their pants, I interpret as the nervousness and uncertainty that they are feeling as they are about to embark on this new journey as they prepare to go to Earth and also as a representation of the nerves and excitement they are feeling as they are about to debut. As you can see, even the choreography is designed to tell the story.
i love that you decide to make an exo's journey, its hard actually bcs there are so much things you have to explore about this group. they have subunits such as exo-cbx for baekhyun,chen and xiumin, exo-sc for sehun and chanyeol and also kai and baekhyun joining sm big project superm. i hope that you never tired of them and trust me exo will never disappoint you! thnkyou fr this reaction.
History is also a predebut song after What is Love. It was written by the same person who wrote and co-produced the music for What is Love & Mama, Yoo Young Jin. Though Mama was produced predebut, it was performed in music shows alongside Mama for their early debut stages and it even won Music Video of the Year at SBS Pop Asia Awards in 2012.
Would you ever consider reacting to EXO dance practises? History is one of my favourite of their early dances. All music comes from somewhere and it's so fun to watch EXO grow and evolve over the years. Some styling choices are a bit painful to look back at. But who among us who lived through the 80s and 90s doesn't have some fashion choices that we cringe at? ;)
I love your reactions and the perspective you can give to the new Kpop stan gen. I really appreciate it cause despite I've been into kpop for almost ten years, I can keep learning and that's why I watch your videos. Thank so much 💗 Keep working, stay healthy and sorry for my English 😂
Thank you Thina, I love this song regardless of how old...hey, SM trademark r&b or not, that is my style. All the groups you've been reacting to..my style. I like your channel. I'm an Exol and Army, and Stray Kids are a blast. Wait till you get to the menagerie that is NCT. 😄💙🌺👍
DBSK :) I remember Triange - my first ever k-pop music video. OMG I've watched it with open mouth and couldn't believe what're seeing my conservative old European eyes. :))) However I've felt in love with ALL in this video. It was so strange and somehow fascinating. Nowadays I do love TVXQ and hope more people to re-discover this group and maybe they'll like it? Thank you for reacting to our boys EXO. I can't explain how happy I am when people recognize their talent and like the group. At these moments I feel myself like a proud mum. Even though EXO is my ultimate group in the music as whole, I don't think they are the best dancers in k-pop. Yes, they are really good performers, but for me personally they are blessed with some of the best choreographies - sensual and strong at the same time, also very memorable gestures (I don't know the terminology, but the moment which is the top of the performance? highlight?) I hope you'll continue with EXO journey, because they became better and better with the years. Once again thank you! :) Please, excuse my bad English, but when things come to EXO I can't resist. Have a nice day/evening!
OMG DBSK Triangleee, that brings back such good memories! :) I think that's another reason why I'm really enjoying watching EXO's videos in chronological order. The old-school SM style reminds me of DBSK
they look so young ahhhhh good old times Edit: the reason why people called them "flops" in the beginning was because SM build enormous anticipation but people felt underwhelmed after B.A.P's strong debut so B.A.P was sort of more popular during their debut year. B.A.P really did a hard 180 to the at time popular flower boy trend and EXO was perceived as not innovative enough if that makes sense? I was only a casual listener of Kpop back then I'm not well informed about the details but that's what I know or how I perceived things.
