EXO is THE MOST COMPLETE GROUP EVER, their discography is just: PERFECTION. They are the vocal kings, the R&B gods. And congrats, you were introduced to the INCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMING of Dem Jointz, simply the best producer in SM. He is the genius behind the experimental sounds we get from SM groups.
the singer that caught your attention is Chen, and the rapper that was before him in the first chorus is Chanyeol. EXO are the legends of kpop for sure, one of the best in the game. and yeah, their vocals are CRAZY. if i'm not mistaken, they have THREE main vocalists... ☠️ i think my bias was Sehun back in the day... ah it was too long ago...
EXO's live "Obsession" performance is most definitely, 100% live -- it's a live recording of their performance. Not only is their dancing amazing, but they are also singing live the whole time. It may be hard to believe because their vocals are so stable while performing this intense choreography, but as an SM Entertainment artist they have been training their whole career to build endurance and stamina in order to be able to sing live and continue to sound flawless while performing in concert for 3+ hours. That is one of the reasons why SM is known as the vocal powerhouse of the industry, because they put a huge emphasis on finding and developing amazing vocalists. Even SM's rappers get intense vocal training -- on top of being impressive rappers, most of SM's rappers could fill in as main vocalists as well. Now that you have seen the EXO version of EXO's "Obsession @the stage" live performance, you also should watch the @The Stage (X-EXO ver.), ruclips.net/video/WLSgbUdXzIY/видео.html, and the (EXO & X-EXO ver.), ruclips.net/video/Y4elYHBNW1o/видео.html, performances. Just like in the MV, when you see the members in the black outfits they are EXO the good guys, but if you watch the X-EXO version you will see the members in bright colored clothing with wild hairstyle and crazy makeup who are EXO's alter ego clones. And in the EXO & X-EXO version you will see how they created a really cool mashup of the two performances to show EXO and X-EXO battling for control. This was just a special performance created as part of EXO's promotions for their "Obsession" MV and album. When Kpop groups release a new song and album they do all different types of promotional activities to keep fans interested and to get people excited in order to drive album and merchandise sales. If you can keep people talking about the song and album and get them excited about all the promotional activities it is most likely going to make people want to buy the album or purchase the song on streaming sites, so everything a Kpop group does is designed to be a marketing tool to sell more products. Fun fact: In the behind the scenes footage we saw how the EXO members kept up the act between the EXO and X-EXO stages and when they interacted with the audience in between the performances they pretended to be EXO during the EXO stage and they were their more sinister X-EXO characters during the X-EXO version. LOL Even behind the sense they stick to their characters and storyline. :D Shindong from Super Junior -- a member of one of SM Entertainment's senior groups -- and his production company were the ones that directed this whole performance and video shoot. (Shindong and his company are also the ones that produce all of SM's @the stage videos.) And the fans weren't really "singing along." What you heard is called fan chants, which are orchestrated things that fans say during specific moments in live performances. Sometimes fan chants are designed by fandoms and they are distributed through the network of fandoms so that everyone learns them and knows what to do, and other times they are designed by the Kpop group's company and given to the fandoms to distribute and make sure everyone knows the chant. Almost every song that is a maintrack song that the group promotes with will have a specific fan chant that goes with it, and you will hear the audience doing the same thing every time they perform the song live. So not only will the audience be reciting specific lyrics during the performance, but what you also heard was during the dance break the fans were shouting each of the members names. Even the moments when the fans scream or cheer are often done at specific times and for and exact length of time as part of the fan chant. If you ever see any behind the scenes footage of Kpop groups performing at weekly music TV shows, you may even notice the film crew making sure the audience is ready to recite the fan chant because it's all part of the performance. If you want to see their dancing even better, I suggest you check out EXO's dance practice video for "Obsession." Kpop groups also release special choreography videos of them performing their choreography as part of a dance practice in their dance studio, ruclips.net/video/rMLli8Efe3s/видео.html.
Thank you for the information. I´m a new Exo-L and I desperately need info about their storyline because I´m loving everything about them. If you could kindly guide me to where or how I can find that information it would be sooo wonderful. All I know is basics, like the Red Force, and their powers, but I have read that every song has something to do with the storyline. They truly are legends and The Kings. Before I Knew about them I thought Kpop was about only 1 group🤭(don´t laugh at me 😁) but now... I know better 😅. Thanks in advanced.
@@dearstarX I guess the best place to start is "EXO Concept Guide ep. 1" by Cesar Oh. There are multiple episodes that do a pretty good job explaining the basics and then once you start to understand how SM has designed the storyline, it gets easier to see the connections. Then you can start to form your own theories and begin to see how SM's other groups are connected. Cesar Oh is the same person who has created the most popular individual guides to help you get to know each EXO member.
18:50 chanyeol has own rap style, his flows is just woah... he is so sure catching all's ears in every each songs by his parts. you know what also he has mindblowing vocal, his deep voice makes you something that is irreversible...he is well-known as a multitalented
Yayyyyy finally 😍😍😍 I love how teddy slowly and carefully want to learn about kpop rather than just react to kpop! This is how reaction works 😌 btw teddy we have same taste in music
Congratulations on discovering the vocal kings of K-Pop! This group does all kinds of genre, but lean more on old school RnB. Everything this group touches turns to gold. Their entire discography is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for noticing Chanyeol’s rap skills. I think he really needs to be more recognised 🥺 He’s my bias in EXO so it’s so amazing that you said that of him ❤️
Thank you so much for listening to EXO! They are the first Kpop group I started listening to in 2018 and I still can't get over just how talented each member is. Individually they are divine, but together they are a powerhouse that can perform like no other. I love how enthusiastic you are and it makes me feel all those same thoughts and feelings I felt when I first listened to this song. There is just something about EXO that sets them apart from other groups. Enjoy your journey!
EXO…my #1 kpop group…more please…they never disappoint! 💀. The live versions of this song is spectacular ! You must listen to their debut song “Mama”…it is the most iconic debut ive seen in kpop!
Omggggg it's been soooo long since I've felt this excitement watching a reaction video. I didn't even know your channel before watching this video 😮 and didn't expect much. But now I am excitedddddd to see you get to know EXO and get more and more impressed by them. (because you literally noticed all those things in the song that we love them for) They are the kings of Kpop. Without a doubt. They only make hit songs. They make unique songs. They are the vocal kings. They make R&B the best. They are just legendary I love their oldschool sound
Yeah watching EXO live its always an experience...there is a reason why they hold the world record for the fastest sold out concert in the world (0.2 seconds...) I recommend you checking out El Dorado live and Wolf live in japan
Dem jointz is a killer producer, if you like this you will like a lot of the songs he produces! He has a signature "incoming" or "dem jointz" or "and now, the breakdown" tag at the beginning/middle of his songs so you'll always know if he's on it. Anyways im so glad you enjoyed EXO, I would love to see you do a deep dive into their discography if you're feeling them. They have one of (honestly in my opinion #1) the best ones in kpop so almost any song will come highly recommended in the comments here haha. I look forward to what you choose!!
YES EXO literally has the best discography... i think they are the only Group that can ever rock mixing genres that hard ... without it sounding a bit confusing or anything SM was really trying to mix genres and make music that sounds wild but in my opinion must of them turned out so bad i don't think the artist there understood the assignment ... but for EXO that's impossible... such as obsession, tempo and overdose those tracks are Fabulous not only them rocking ballad every winter till 2017 🤌🏻✨
@@BABYMONSTER_RORA_RAMI_AHYEON for me is always a hit, you only dislike his music if you are not willing to accept weirdness in the first hearing, cause ALL of them grow up on you
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, Baekhyun and Kai have gathered the best of the best of SM's groups -- Taemin from SHINee, Taeyong and Mark from NCT and Ten and Lucas from 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.)
Exo is a vocal powerhouse! Great analysis, also pls get into the musical theory, would def like to hear your take Hope someone in the live chat explained fan chants 😂
Exo songs I love are: Lotto, Call me baby, Monster, kokobop, love shot, the eve, tempo. Love shot and the eve are both so iconic, they’re more on the sexy side if you like that vibe hehe, the choreo is also very sexy haha. Teddy for you I’d recommend listening to Monster🫶🏻
EXO was a sleeper hit for me cause SKZ was my entry into kpop. I love them. I definitely support you going through choreography and dance practices! Especially Strat Kids! But once you've gone through enough Exo, please... Please check out Baekhyun's solo work. He was the guy with white hair that starts and ends the song. He's a phenomenal... Phenomenal.... Singer.
Fun fact: Chen (The one with voice that you really liked) have a cold during the live performamce. You can really tell that his voice is a little different that day but he still slayed that high note.
actually most of EXOLS are educated vocally and musically cause of EXO i got educated literally after listening to them ... they are so varsitile and VERY talented vocally ... they can harmonize better than anyone and their tone is SO different there is toners and there is baritone and still rocking harmonization as if they were twin legit LEGENDARY !! stan EXO for clear mind lol i got ur point on how that guy who is CHEN voice is different i will shock u with this he has the wildest range in kpop with 4 octaves ROCKING ballad genre and koreans loves his voice so much please send love to these talented guys with 4 freaking main vocals 😭😭 they are nuts i swear !!
I love this song! sooo so much! i cant wait for full group exo concerts, it will take a couple of years before its possible but i am so looking forward to it
Thank you for your reaction to this amazing song! I've loved it since the first time I listened to it! The beat hits, the rap slaps and the dancing... I mean what more can we ask for?!
exo was the firsr group i came across back in 2016 they were my first introduction to kpop. they trully amazing. the guy that raps the fanthom part is my bias chanyeol! the guy after that sings is chen vocal king he is married with 2 kids
EXO literally made me dissect songs and vocals. Their discography is so diverse and top notch quality. Been listening to them for years and I still discover great stuff in their songs that I missed paying attention to before. Prior to knowing this group I just would appreciate the songs because of their lyrics and melody, but then, EXO happened.
Why did he get hate for getting married?! 💀😂 Surely the goal for a man is to become a loving husband and father lol, some people are backwards 😭 his voice is soooo good though! Very different to any voice I’ve heard so far in the industry!
@@TeddyGreyOS As I understand it, idols are supposed to seem available to fans, without actually being available to fans. This is why there are dating bans. They want fans to think they actually have a chance with their favorite idol. This breeds sasaengs who stalk, spread rumours, and are delulu. When an idol does get into a relationship, most times it is very secretive, because it can end a career. It is rare to find an idol married. Look at Super Junior. They are all late 30's and only one is married. When Chen got married, fans boycotted, and tried to get him kicked out of the group. An actual quote from a fansite “We do not accept EXO Chen’s decision and we do not think he has the right to promote under EXO’s name. We are requesting his withdrawal from the group. There have been many hardships since EXO’s debut and we have protected their name together with the group. We have come to the decision that Chen is not qualified to be a part of this group and will be boycotting all of his activities starting from today. We will also be waiting for a quick response from SM Entertainment." This is one of the hardest pills to swallow in K-pop IMO
@@jsway40 Whatttttt?! That’s so messed up! Young people should be praising him! I can’t even imagine how difficult it must be for the men of K-pop to navigate their personal lives through the judgements of girls they don’t even know 😔
kpop groups songs have Fan chants, meaning they contribute to the chants in certains parts of the song mainly at end of a line or in dance breaks or interludes. thats why some lines dont have fan chant but others do. fans were usually the ones to create the fan chants but ive seen more recently that the companies themselves create the fanchants and get the groups to record it for the fans to see and learn.
Yes that's the crowd who is also their fans called EXO-Ls (known as the loudest fandom in kpop) and yes they always do fanchants for every Exo Comeback 💯🔥👑❤️
Chen definitely caught your attention in this mv, i hope you check Exo discography more bcoz i swear they have the best discography in whole kpop industry.
It may be hard to believe that they sing live, but they actually do it with dance, and that is why they have been called the kings of vocal. One of the most important characteristics of EXO is that they are a group with great consistency between all its members in terms of vocal and performance, and they are also known for the terrible synchronization between the members. The member whose voice you liked most is Chen, who is one of the strongest Vocals in K-Pop are known for their strong voice and wide range, as they move from high to low layers with great ease. They are called the golden throat of K-Pop and the King of Ballad as well. As for Rapper Chanyeol, he is one of the idols who have tremendous capabilities. He is a musician, composer, writer, producer, distributor and vocalist as well. In the end, EXO is one of the bands. Which has been characterized by its own music for years and is one of the strongest K-Pop bands in live performance. They have the strongest line of vocals in K-Pop in addition to the dancers. An integrated band in all Elements . I hope to see more of your reactions .
I saw exo reaction I click right away,the fact that Exo more better live than studio recording, and they called the vocal kings of kpop btw thank you so much sir for good compliment to our boys! ❤ I guarantee you that exo won't disappoint you, ❤
I'm very proud to be their fan.. before I wasn't a kpopers I was very reluctant to listen to Korean songs except for drama osts.. I thought k.pop groups only showed dance and visuals.. but when I got to know exo through acting D.O in the drama.. I immediately fell in love with exo because of the love shot song, then i listened to a lot of their songs, and i think exo almost never failed to make me fall in love more.. not only the king of visuals, but all the members have capable voices, their kinship is very strong , with the characters of each member being equally strong so nothing really stands out from them, all of them are the main stars, not to mention their treatment of exo.L who they consider friends, in my opinion that is enough and not excessive which makes fans have limits separate not to interfere with their privacy, that makes exo.L a fandom that is very mature and wants all exo members to be happy with their choice of partner in the future.. in my heart I immediately say that exo should be the highest standard in the world of kpop, exo is a solid group and multitalent.. maybe I'm too late to become exo.L but I really love them ❤
Yes, woohoo EXO!!!! 👏🏻 I’ve really been hoping you would eventually get into EXO. These guys are my ult ult group (SKZ being a very close second) and the group that got me into K-pop, I was an instant fan after hearing Monster. Welcome to The Vocal Kings, who are know for stellar live vocals & performances 👌🏻 I think you might find their song Tempo very interesting.
Teddy regarding the crowd chanting in the live video, kpop groups will make official fan chant guides so that the fans know which parts to participate in which creates this effect in the live performances. SKZ has them too! You can actually find them on RUclips
i realised just now after hearing that "INCOMING" in the intro that the song is produced by Dem Jointz!! Can't believe i missed out on that before, no wonder the song's a BOP
Someone probs already explained it, but the fans chanting at the performance is actually some thing the company puts out after the title is released so that the fandom can learn before promotions starts:3 it's super cool and honestly so much fun as well as a awesome experience as a crowd ^-^ the group usually puts out a "fan featuring video" that shows them doing the fanchant, skz has quite a few of them tbh ^-^
You can check out their obsession live performance in EXO & X-EXO versions. Obsession's concept is about their alter egos as you noticed, they're two of each members. They're fighting themselves. EXO against their alter ego/bad persona(X-EXO).
This group has almost all genres, discography is one of the best in kpop, definitely in top 3. famous for their b-sides, won album of the year in a row till award shows kicked them out, choreographies are famous among street dancers, rapper is different from typical rappers, has no one style , like "10 rappers in 1 man" styles. In 10 different exo songs, he sounds like 10 different rappers. Major in r&b, you find a lot of kpop groups are being heavy on hip-hop, but this group and their agency heavy on r&b sounds + experimental music. Their agency is like a lab.Exo - sc subunit has a lot of hip-hop songs(check; day dreaming).
EXO, MY ULT GROUP !!! the vocalist you're talking about is Chen, he's the main vocalist in EXO and EXO-CBX (a subunit group of EXO), and a soloist !!! With his solo works, he mostly sings ballads and is knowing as the "OST king" since he's done many osts for kdramas. The rapper is Chanyeol who is the main rapper in EXO and a part of the subunit EXO-SC (a subunit duo of EXO consisting of their 2 rappers). I'm really glad you liked this song, I highly recommend Tempo for you to react to next. They don't sound the same but they went crazy on that song, but honestly anything you react to from EXO will not disappoint. In Korea they're nicknamed "nation's pick" because of how loved and respected they are there for their music. I can't wait to see you react to more EXO !!!
@13:52 Regarding the coordinated screams from the audience - it is called a fan chant. I have noticed that some idols/idol groups, like New Jeans and aespa, make videos with a guide to the fan chant. Otherwise I have a feeling that the fans just coordinate this stuff online in forums (?) whenever a new song is released. Maybe someone who knows more can correct me if I am wrong about the latter.
Pleas DO NOT sleep on Exo! Talent is unmatched and immaculate. Top tier discography and elite group, the Vocal Kings of Kpop. I dont need to brag about them, watch out and see it for yourself! Thank you dor reacting to my one and only, hope to see more Exo, ill subscribe as of now, i love watching people have a taste of the Exo experience!
I really like your reaction!! 😆😆 you gave total expressions for tones, beats, pitch, also vibes!! This is the best video reaction ever and i'm REALLY serious abt this! 🫶🫶❤️❤️ keep going, respect!
EXO es el mejor grupo, yo desde que los encontré, nadie nadie nadie lo hace como ellos todos son tan talentosos y toda su discografía es asombrosa, como solistas o grupo son los mejores aparte que manejan todos los géneros, espero puedas escuchar mas de ellos. ❤️✨
They are confident but not overly so. They do strut even in every day life especially when together just like they can be very funny and goofy. They grew up together as trainees so they know that each of them has each other's back. Accdg to them, they are family so they know that each one of them takes the slack especially when one member forgets the words or the dance when performing. But Kai is on another level. He does have a big dose of charisma.
EXO is the real deal. They don't just produce songs but they have a unique storyline that they've been sticking to since debut. Even in their solo acts. You're in for a looong and fun ride with them. I suggest "Love Shot" or "Tempo" next. PS: EXO Live is a whooole different thing. They have the title of the Vocal Kings of Kpop.
13:45 They're called Fanchants and they're actually rehearsed by fans (usually the company releases a guide video) before any group's first Live stage performance and that will be whenever they perform that song in front of the fans.
More EXO pls they never dissapoint when it comes to music
Totally agree, he gotta check out Monster ASAP one of the best songs in kpop (in my opinion)
@@chansbumonyt2503 up!
Up!
Yes!! More
So true 👍
EXO is THE MOST COMPLETE GROUP EVER, their discography is just: PERFECTION. They are the vocal kings, the R&B gods. And congrats, you were introduced to the INCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMING of Dem Jointz, simply the best producer in SM. He is the genius behind the experimental sounds we get from SM groups.
10:20- that's Chen, hitting the high notes. He's one of the main vocalist of EXO along with Baekhyun and D.O. THE VOCAL TRINITY OF KPOP!
The fact that he was so mesmerised by Chen makes me extremely happy.
the singer that caught your attention is Chen, and the rapper that was before him in the first chorus is Chanyeol. EXO are the legends of kpop for sure, one of the best in the game. and yeah, their vocals are CRAZY. if i'm not mistaken, they have THREE main vocalists... ☠️
i think my bias was Sehun back in the day... ah it was too long ago...
EXO's live "Obsession" performance is most definitely, 100% live -- it's a live recording of their performance. Not only is their dancing amazing, but they are also singing live the whole time. It may be hard to believe because their vocals are so stable while performing this intense choreography, but as an SM Entertainment artist they have been training their whole career to build endurance and stamina in order to be able to sing live and continue to sound flawless while performing in concert for 3+ hours. That is one of the reasons why SM is known as the vocal powerhouse of the industry, because they put a huge emphasis on finding and developing amazing vocalists. Even SM's rappers get intense vocal training -- on top of being impressive rappers, most of SM's rappers could fill in as main vocalists as well.
Now that you have seen the EXO version of EXO's "Obsession @the stage" live performance, you also should watch the @The Stage (X-EXO ver.), ruclips.net/video/WLSgbUdXzIY/видео.html, and the (EXO & X-EXO ver.), ruclips.net/video/Y4elYHBNW1o/видео.html, performances. Just like in the MV, when you see the members in the black outfits they are EXO the good guys, but if you watch the X-EXO version you will see the members in bright colored clothing with wild hairstyle and crazy makeup who are EXO's alter ego clones. And in the EXO & X-EXO version you will see how they created a really cool mashup of the two performances to show EXO and X-EXO battling for control.
This was just a special performance created as part of EXO's promotions for their "Obsession" MV and album. When Kpop groups release a new song and album they do all different types of promotional activities to keep fans interested and to get people excited in order to drive album and merchandise sales. If you can keep people talking about the song and album and get them excited about all the promotional activities it is most likely going to make people want to buy the album or purchase the song on streaming sites, so everything a Kpop group does is designed to be a marketing tool to sell more products.
Fun fact: In the behind the scenes footage we saw how the EXO members kept up the act between the EXO and X-EXO stages and when they interacted with the audience in between the performances they pretended to be EXO during the EXO stage and they were their more sinister X-EXO characters during the X-EXO version. LOL Even behind the sense they stick to their characters and storyline. :D Shindong from Super Junior -- a member of one of SM Entertainment's senior groups -- and his production company were the ones that directed this whole performance and video shoot. (Shindong and his company are also the ones that produce all of SM's @the stage videos.)
And the fans weren't really "singing along." What you heard is called fan chants, which are orchestrated things that fans say during specific moments in live performances. Sometimes fan chants are designed by fandoms and they are distributed through the network of fandoms so that everyone learns them and knows what to do, and other times they are designed by the Kpop group's company and given to the fandoms to distribute and make sure everyone knows the chant. Almost every song that is a maintrack song that the group promotes with will have a specific fan chant that goes with it, and you will hear the audience doing the same thing every time they perform the song live. So not only will the audience be reciting specific lyrics during the performance, but what you also heard was during the dance break the fans were shouting each of the members names. Even the moments when the fans scream or cheer are often done at specific times and for and exact length of time as part of the fan chant. If you ever see any behind the scenes footage of Kpop groups performing at weekly music TV shows, you may even notice the film crew making sure the audience is ready to recite the fan chant because it's all part of the performance.
If you want to see their dancing even better, I suggest you check out EXO's dance practice video for "Obsession." Kpop groups also release special choreography videos of them performing their choreography as part of a dance practice in their dance studio, ruclips.net/video/rMLli8Efe3s/видео.html.
I’ve just discovered The Stage’s version and the mashup video…. Mind blowing ❤
I loved your reply and all the great information! Thank you, Melinda!! 😄👍🏻🫶🏼
Thank you for the information. I´m a new Exo-L and I desperately need info about their storyline because I´m loving everything about them. If you could kindly guide me to where or how I can find that information it would be sooo wonderful. All I know is basics, like the Red Force, and their powers, but I have read that every song has something to do with the storyline. They truly are legends and The Kings. Before I Knew about them I thought Kpop was about only 1 group🤭(don´t laugh at me 😁) but now... I know better 😅. Thanks in advanced.
@@dearstarX I guess the best place to start is "EXO Concept Guide ep. 1" by Cesar Oh. There are multiple episodes that do a pretty good job explaining the basics and then once you start to understand how SM has designed the storyline, it gets easier to see the connections. Then you can start to form your own theories and begin to see how SM's other groups are connected. Cesar Oh is the same person who has created the most popular individual guides to help you get to know each EXO member.
@@milindawilson9175 Ok, I´ve watched the individual guides but I didn´t know about the other guide 😅. Thank you very much.
I'm runniNg and screaming and screaming and running! YES!!!!! I love this reaction!
OH sandi 😭🤍 omg i love you so much girl ❤❤
@@simageneration4030 LOVE YOU TOOOO!
hahaha I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Hahaha Yassss Sandi!! He checked out our ULTS!! 😍
...and he liked Chanyeol (my ULT bias)!!! 😭🥰
@@saywhatreacts girl and every time he mentioned Chen I was yelling YES LOVE HIIIMMM!!!!
The crowd doesn't decide, this is called fanchant, it is released by the group so the crowd knows what to scream
Thanks for the reaction!!!
Yes, EXO live performances are another level. Vocal kings, visuals, dancing, rapping, everything are perfect!!!!
*Obsession is an obssesion really. EXO is amazing!*
18:50 chanyeol has own rap style, his flows is just woah... he is so sure catching all's ears in every each songs by his parts. you know what also he has mindblowing vocal, his deep voice makes you something that is irreversible...he is well-known as a multitalented
I’m happy that you noticed Chen, the one who’s hitting those highnotes ❤🔥 He’s one of the best vocalists in the whole Kpop industry ~ !!
I became so proud when he said that Chen is being used every time. I means that proves the point how amazing he is.
Yayyyyy finally 😍😍😍 I love how teddy slowly and carefully want to learn about kpop rather than just react to kpop! This is how reaction works 😌 btw teddy we have same taste in music
The live version of this was INSANE, thanks for the video, EXO is THAT group.
If by "THAT" u mean the most slay slay vocal rap, perfectly dance skilled, VOCAL KINGS with amazing songs, then yesss u've got it right🤗
@@chansbumonyt2503 YEEEES
Congratulations on discovering the vocal kings of K-Pop! This group does all kinds of genre, but lean more on old school RnB. Everything this group touches turns to gold. Their entire discography is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for noticing Chanyeol’s rap skills. I think he really needs to be more recognised 🥺 He’s my bias in EXO so it’s so amazing that you said that of him ❤️
Thank you so much for listening to EXO! They are the first Kpop group I started listening to in 2018 and I still can't get over just how talented each member is. Individually they are divine, but together they are a powerhouse that can perform like no other. I love how enthusiastic you are and it makes me feel all those same thoughts and feelings I felt when I first listened to this song. There is just something about EXO that sets them apart from other groups. Enjoy your journey!
Yes sir teddy,please more EXO,their MONSTER...LOTTO...TEMPO..LOVE SHOT..&MORE❤❤❤❤🙏
Exo rappers are bangers too
Up
Upppppppp pls
EXO…my #1 kpop group…more please…they never disappoint! 💀. The live versions of this song is spectacular ! You must listen to their debut song “Mama”…it is the most iconic debut ive seen in kpop!
So fun! Please do EXO Monster!!!
Your fav vocalist's name is Jongdae (stage name Chen)
Obession is top tier of their title songs. I love this song. It should have got more attention.
Omggggg it's been soooo long since I've felt this excitement watching a reaction video. I didn't even know your channel before watching this video 😮 and didn't expect much. But now I am excitedddddd to see you get to know EXO and get more and more impressed by them. (because you literally noticed all those things in the song that we love them for) They are the kings of Kpop. Without a doubt. They only make hit songs. They make unique songs. They are the vocal kings. They make R&B the best. They are just legendary
I love their oldschool sound
Yeah watching EXO live its always an experience...there is a reason why they hold the world record for the fastest sold out concert in the world (0.2 seconds...)
I recommend you checking out El Dorado live and Wolf live in japan
Dem jointz is a killer producer, if you like this you will like a lot of the songs he produces! He has a signature "incoming" or "dem jointz" or "and now, the breakdown" tag at the beginning/middle of his songs so you'll always know if he's on it.
Anyways im so glad you enjoyed EXO, I would love to see you do a deep dive into their discography if you're feeling them. They have one of (honestly in my opinion #1) the best ones in kpop so almost any song will come highly recommended in the comments here haha. I look forward to what you choose!!
YES EXO literally has the best discography... i think they are the only Group that can ever rock mixing genres that hard ... without it sounding a bit confusing or anything SM was really trying to mix genres and make music that sounds wild but in my opinion must of them turned out so bad i don't think the artist there understood the assignment ... but for EXO that's impossible... such as obsession, tempo and overdose those tracks are Fabulous not only them rocking ballad every winter till 2017 🤌🏻✨
INCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMING is the best sound I like to hear.
NCT127 ！！！I like his songs very much.
@@BABYMONSTER_RORA_RAMI_AHYEON for me is always a hit, you only dislike his music if you are not willing to accept weirdness in the first hearing, cause ALL of them grow up on you
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, Baekhyun and Kai have gathered the best of the best of SM's groups -- Taemin from SHINee, Taeyong and Mark from NCT and Ten and Lucas from 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.)
My favorite EXO title track and one of my all time favorite EXO songs in general!!!!
You know it’s going to be good when dem jointz produces it!
Exo is a vocal powerhouse! Great analysis, also pls get into the musical theory, would def like to hear your take
Hope someone in the live chat explained fan chants 😂
I'm pissed I missed the premiere and live chat, but I'm happy you did EXO!! Do Monster next please ❤
Exo songs I love are: Lotto, Call me baby, Monster, kokobop, love shot, the eve, tempo.
Love shot and the eve are both so iconic, they’re more on the sexy side if you like that vibe hehe, the choreo is also very sexy haha.
Teddy for you I’d recommend listening to Monster🫶🏻
Exo has the BEST vocal line ❤❤❤
I have been waiting for this one and it went how I thought it would! Finally, I can say welcome to EXO!!
EXO was a sleeper hit for me cause SKZ was my entry into kpop. I love them. I definitely support you going through choreography and dance practices! Especially Strat Kids! But once you've gone through enough Exo, please... Please check out Baekhyun's solo work. He was the guy with white hair that starts and ends the song. He's a phenomenal... Phenomenal.... Singer.
Fun fact: Chen (The one with voice that you really liked) have a cold during the live performamce. You can really tell that his voice is a little different that day but he still slayed that high note.
actually most of EXOLS are educated vocally and musically cause of EXO i got educated literally after listening to them ... they are so varsitile and VERY talented vocally ... they can harmonize better than anyone and their tone is SO different there is toners and there is baritone and still rocking harmonization as if they were twin legit LEGENDARY !! stan EXO for clear mind lol i got ur point on how that guy who is CHEN voice is different i will shock u with this he has the wildest range in kpop with 4 octaves ROCKING ballad genre and koreans loves his voice so much please send love to these talented guys with 4 freaking main vocals 😭😭 they are nuts i swear !!
I don’t believe it finalllllllyyyyyy Exo reaction
I’m gonna watch it now thank you so much
I love this song! sooo so much!
i cant wait for full group exo concerts, it will take a couple of years before its possible but i am so looking forward to it
Same watching EXO perform makes me so hyped and happy. Even though normally i dont smile
Its been 11 years already for them in the music industry so confidence is already perfectly incorporated in them 💯🔥
Omg I have been waiting for this for so long more EXO ✨✨✨✨✨✨
Thank you for your reaction to this amazing song! I've loved it since the first time I listened to it! The beat hits, the rap slaps and the dancing... I mean what more can we ask for?!
exo was the firsr group i came across back in 2016 they were my first introduction to kpop. they trully amazing. the guy that raps the fanthom part is my bias chanyeol! the guy after that sings is chen vocal king he is married with 2 kids
EXO literally made me dissect songs and vocals. Their discography is so diverse and top notch quality. Been listening to them for years and I still discover great stuff in their songs that I missed paying attention to before. Prior to knowing this group I just would appreciate the songs because of their lyrics and melody, but then, EXO happened.
Thank you for listening yo us Teddy you made my night 😭❤
Chen❤ - He is so talented. He got so much hate for getting married :( His voice is perfection
Why did he get hate for getting married?! 💀😂 Surely the goal for a man is to become a loving husband and father lol, some people are backwards 😭 his voice is soooo good though! Very different to any voice I’ve heard so far in the industry!
@@TeddyGreyOS As I understand it, idols are supposed to seem available to fans, without actually being available to fans. This is why there are dating bans. They want fans to think they actually have a chance with their favorite idol. This breeds sasaengs who stalk, spread rumours, and are delulu. When an idol does get into a relationship, most times it is very secretive, because it can end a career. It is rare to find an idol married. Look at Super Junior. They are all late 30's and only one is married. When Chen got married, fans boycotted, and tried to get him kicked out of the group. An actual quote from a fansite “We do not accept EXO Chen’s decision and we do not think he has the right to promote under EXO’s name. We are requesting his withdrawal from the group. There have been many hardships since EXO’s debut and we have protected their name together with the group. We have come to the decision that Chen is not qualified to be a part of this group and will be boycotting all of his activities starting from today. We will also be waiting for a quick response from SM Entertainment." This is one of the hardest pills to swallow in K-pop IMO
@@jsway40 Whatttttt?! That’s so messed up! Young people should be praising him! I can’t even imagine how difficult it must be for the men of K-pop to navigate their personal lives through the judgements of girls they don’t even know 😔
Love your reverse bodyroll. was easier then you thought.
Monster, Tempo, Love Shot, Growl etc
EXO Vocal Kings ❤
kpop groups songs have Fan chants, meaning they contribute to the chants in certains parts of the song mainly at end of a line or in dance breaks or interludes. thats why some lines dont have fan chant but others do. fans were usually the ones to create the fan chants but ive seen more recently that the companies themselves create the fanchants and get the groups to record it for the fans to see and learn.
Voice EXO is legend 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes EXO ❤❤❤❤ i think you would enjoy the song "Tempo" also the guy you kept pointing out is Chen .. amazing vocalist!! More exo please 🙏
You doing EXO?!?😮 this songwas my introduction song to them last year. I’m an Exol now fr. This song is one of their best!!
Yes that's the crowd who is also their fans called EXO-Ls (known as the loudest fandom in kpop) and yes they always do fanchants for every Exo Comeback 💯🔥👑❤️
its only a matter of time he finds out about Baekhyun
Las presentaciones en vivo de EXO son una locura, los descubrí en pandemia así que espero verlos por lo menos 1 vez en vivo. ✨❤️
This song gets people excited. It kindles the fire in people. Try to listen to this song and whole album at gym. Consequence's amazing 😂
Let’s go STAYTINY-L!!❤️🔥
and this is just starting 😂 EXO has A LOT to show 🛐🛐 their songs and live performances are 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
The fact that my ults EXO have finally made it to this channel!!!!!!! Yaaaaas the level of excitement! Get into them!
Finally THANK YOU!
EXO king of harmonization......I Love them so much..thanks for your reaction
Chen definitely caught your attention in this mv, i hope you check Exo discography more bcoz i swear they have the best discography in whole kpop industry.
Exo❤
It may be hard to believe that they sing live, but they actually do it with dance, and that is why they have been called the kings of vocal. One of the most important characteristics of EXO is that they are a group with great consistency between all its members in terms of vocal and performance, and they are also known for the terrible synchronization between the members. The member whose voice you liked most is Chen, who is one of the strongest Vocals in K-Pop are known for their strong voice and wide range, as they move from high to low layers with great ease. They are called the golden throat of K-Pop and the King of Ballad as well. As for Rapper Chanyeol, he is one of the idols who have tremendous capabilities. He is a musician, composer, writer, producer, distributor and vocalist as well. In the end, EXO is one of the bands. Which has been characterized by its own music for years and is one of the strongest K-Pop bands in live performance. They have the strongest line of vocals in K-Pop in addition to the dancers. An integrated band in all Elements . I hope to see more of your reactions .
I saw exo reaction I click right away,the fact that
Exo more better live than studio recording, and they called the vocal kings of kpop btw thank you so much sir for good compliment to our boys! ❤
I guarantee you that exo won't disappoint you, ❤
Yes, that's the fanchant from the audience.
I'm very proud to be their fan.. before I wasn't a kpopers I was very reluctant to listen to Korean songs except for drama osts.. I thought k.pop groups only showed dance and visuals.. but when I got to know exo through acting D.O in the drama.. I immediately fell in love with exo because of the love shot song, then i listened to a lot of their songs, and i think exo almost never failed to make me fall in love more.. not only the king of visuals, but all the members have capable voices, their kinship is very strong , with the characters of each member being equally strong so nothing really stands out from them, all of them are the main stars, not to mention their treatment of exo.L who they consider friends, in my opinion that is enough and not excessive which makes fans have limits separate not to interfere with their privacy, that makes exo.L a fandom that is very mature and wants all exo members to be happy with their choice of partner in the future.. in my heart I immediately say that exo should be the highest standard in the world of kpop, exo is a solid group and multitalent.. maybe I'm too late to become exo.L but I really love them ❤
21:25 This is why we love dance practices so much!
Because they are the king of all kpop and king of vocals, they can sing live w/ really amazing voice, super high quality level😊😊🥰
Love to see the exo reaction 👏 i recommend monster, tempo and kokobop to listen to next🔥 also baekhyuns solo stuff is amazing and more toward r&b
The fact that Obsession - EXO named as no.1 the best kpop song in 2019 by Billboard 🔥🔥🔥
Yes, woohoo EXO!!!! 👏🏻 I’ve really been hoping you would eventually get into EXO. These guys are my ult ult group (SKZ being a very close second) and the group that got me into K-pop, I was an instant fan after hearing Monster. Welcome to The Vocal Kings, who are know for stellar live vocals & performances 👌🏻 I think you might find their song Tempo very interesting.
My ultimate bias Chen and EXO deserve all the lovee
React to 'Jekyll' it's probably best song on this obsession album
YES OMG
Teddy regarding the crowd chanting in the live video, kpop groups will make official fan chant guides so that the fans know which parts to participate in which creates this effect in the live performances. SKZ has them too! You can actually find them on RUclips
Yes! I was gonna mention this as well! It definitely adds a whole other element to the live performances!
Welcome to EXO one of the best BB ever...they are talented singers rappers and dancers...their lives are insane and concerts are even crazier
i realised just now after hearing that "INCOMING" in the intro that the song is produced by Dem Jointz!! Can't believe i missed out on that before, no wonder the song's a BOP
Teddy at the end was doing body rolls 🕺🏻❤
Someone probs already explained it, but the fans chanting at the performance is actually some thing the company puts out after the title is released so that the fandom can learn before promotions starts:3 it's super cool and honestly so much fun as well as a awesome experience as a crowd ^-^ the group usually puts out a "fan featuring video" that shows them doing the fanchant, skz has quite a few of them tbh ^-^
Also, as a add on, some exo songs to check out
Love shot
Monster
Lotto
Ko Ko Bop
And for awesome high notes - Drop that live performance
You can check out their obsession live performance in EXO & X-EXO versions. Obsession's concept is about their alter egos as you noticed, they're two of each members. They're fighting themselves. EXO against their alter ego/bad persona(X-EXO).
So great to see you discover the AWESOMENESS of EXO!!
I hope you get to enjoy even more of their performances. 🙂👍🏻
This group has almost all genres, discography is one of the best in kpop, definitely in top 3.
famous for their b-sides, won album of the year in a row till award shows kicked them out, choreographies are famous among street dancers, rapper is different from typical rappers, has no one style , like "10 rappers in 1 man" styles. In 10 different exo songs, he sounds like 10 different rappers.
Major in r&b, you find a lot of kpop groups are being heavy on hip-hop, but this group and their agency heavy on r&b sounds + experimental music. Their agency is like a lab.Exo - sc subunit has a lot of hip-hop songs(check; day dreaming).
EXO, MY ULT GROUP !!! the vocalist you're talking about is Chen, he's the main vocalist in EXO and EXO-CBX (a subunit group of EXO), and a soloist !!! With his solo works, he mostly sings ballads and is knowing as the "OST king" since he's done many osts for kdramas. The rapper is Chanyeol who is the main rapper in EXO and a part of the subunit EXO-SC (a subunit duo of EXO consisting of their 2 rappers). I'm really glad you liked this song, I highly recommend Tempo for you to react to next. They don't sound the same but they went crazy on that song, but honestly anything you react to from EXO will not disappoint. In Korea they're nicknamed "nation's pick" because of how loved and respected they are there for their music. I can't wait to see you react to more EXO !!!
they're discography is insane more than 150 songs and more than 75 mv's if we count they're korean and chinese version.
I recommend you to listen to monster, it's literally my favourite song chanyeol's rap part in this song is insane🔥
Finally 😭🫶🏻
Love your reactions, please do more 💗
Oh, you started reacting to EXO - that's a deep dive, they have so much amazing and diverse music. Vocal kings 🎉
@13:52 Regarding the coordinated screams from the audience - it is called a fan chant. I have noticed that some idols/idol groups, like New Jeans and aespa, make videos with a guide to the fan chant. Otherwise I have a feeling that the fans just coordinate this stuff online in forums (?) whenever a new song is released. Maybe someone who knows more can correct me if I am wrong about the latter.
they usually post the fan chants before they perform it live. so that the fans that will be able to practice beforehand
Pleas DO NOT sleep on Exo! Talent is unmatched and immaculate. Top tier discography and elite group, the Vocal Kings of Kpop. I dont need to brag about them, watch out and see it for yourself! Thank you dor reacting to my one and only, hope to see more Exo, ill subscribe as of now, i love watching people have a taste of the Exo experience!
I really like your reaction!! 😆😆 you gave total expressions for tones, beats, pitch, also vibes!! This is the best video reaction ever and i'm REALLY serious abt this! 🫶🫶❤️❤️ keep going, respect!
Thanks for a lovely reaction
Exo is the ultimate
chen tiene una de las mejores voces del kpop
FACTS
Obsession is an obsession's song. Once you listen to it, you cannot stop 😂
your reaction is too cute... Exo's Tempo is a must watch MV....
EXO es el mejor grupo, yo desde que los encontré, nadie nadie nadie lo hace como ellos todos son tan talentosos y toda su discografía es asombrosa, como solistas o grupo son los mejores aparte que manejan todos los géneros, espero puedas escuchar mas de ellos. ❤️✨
They are confident but not overly so. They do strut even in every day life especially when together just like they can be very funny and goofy. They grew up together as trainees so they know that each of them has each other's back. Accdg to them, they are family so they know that each one of them takes the slack especially when one member forgets the words or the dance when performing. But Kai is on another level. He does have a big dose of charisma.
Welcome to EXO when it comes to live performances they are the ones to watch 💯🔥👑🌙 Vocal Kings✨😎
EXO is the real deal. They don't just produce songs but they have a unique storyline that they've been sticking to since debut. Even in their solo acts. You're in for a looong and fun ride with them.
I suggest "Love Shot" or "Tempo" next.
PS: EXO Live is a whooole different thing. They have the title of the Vocal Kings of Kpop.
13:45 They're called Fanchants and they're actually rehearsed by fans (usually the company releases a guide video) before any group's first Live stage performance and that will be whenever they perform that song in front of the fans.
EXO ARE ELITTEE WHEN IT COMES TO LIVE PERFORMANCE THEY ARE ON ANOTHER LEVEL VOCALLSSS ARE INSANNEEE
