People throw around the phrase ‘cultural reset’ a lot these days, but Monster was legit a cultural reset in Kpop. The fan chants alone sound like they could topple a building. There was just so much excitement over this track.
yup every single comeback is a different genre or mashup of genres and within each of the albums they release, each track is a different genre as well :)
The vocalist who hits the highnote in this song and in Obsession is Chen EXO's main vocalist he really does have a wide range from high to low note. I also appreciate your observation that EXO can do a wide range of genre and every member has a genre they excel at but EXO's sound as a whole is the BEST!
Chen is ONE of EXOs main vocalists, there's also D.O. and Baekhyun, though Chen does usually hit the highest notes, followed by Baek. D.O. is mostly on the ad-libs.
You’ll probably enjoy dissecting EXO’s “going crazy” and “Forever”.. it doesn’t have an official music video though!..its a b-side tract.. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it..
Yup. BOA ran up and down the office building stairs while practising vocal training. Stamina. Endurance. That's how SM artists can still SING while doing crazy choreos. Top class.
The producer is LDN noise! Crazy talented and they looked super proud whenever they did a showcase for their exo’s song. The way they use exo’s vocal layering and harmonising is 😘😘😘😘
Omg... I think you should listen to EXO - Mama (means "Your Highness"), their debut song. It's orchestra-rock. It's EPIC. EXO is so versatile, they can do any genre. I'm not even exaggerating. I guess that's what happened when you managed to combine some very talented people into one group, you hit the jackpot. Throw any kind of music at their way, and they will eat it.
Let me rephrase one word from your statement dear because EXO is just that group. “That's what happened when you managed to combine MOST of the talented person in a group.” YES EXO KINGS, flex them Kings.
Their vocals are perfected because in kpop industry, idols are trained for years before they get to debut. Of course except to some lucky and talented ones who get to debut with just months of training. Also, SM Ent is said to be a vocal powerhouse.
No matter how many times i listen to EXO songs, I don’t get tired of them cos there’s so many things to listen for. Rhythm, synth, vocals, harmonies, little connectors and now thanks to you, delays! 😆 Personally I love the rubato and RnB vibes when they sing, and the runs they do (yeh yeh yeh yeah) just colors their music so vibrantly.
Everything EXO is involved in, and I literally mean almost everything, is connected in some way to their concept and storyline. EXO's MVs are kind of like a movie -- it's a movie that has been going on for the past 9 years -- since predebut -- and it has no sign of coming to an end any time soon. The one thing you have to keep in mind with all of EXO's MVs, and I really mean all of them -- including their sub-sub-unit MVs and a majority of the member's solo MVs. And because Baekhyun and Kai are involved, even SuperM's storyline -- is that they are all connected and they all tell a little more of EXO's story. To truly understand EXO you need to know that EXO debuted in 2012. So to really understand EXO you need to start from the very beginning and watch both of their "Mama" MVs. 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. Exo, as in exoskeleton, means "outer," so as a member of EXO they are outside the ordinary.The group's concept comes from the real term exoplanet, which is a term that is used for a planet that is outside our solar system, so their name was chosen to represent the fact that they are stars that are "out of this world" when it comes to their talents. 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. 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. 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. 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.
However, the lyrics of the song have very little to do with the story in the MV. If you want to know what the song is about, you should look up an English translation of the lyrics. Because the lyrics tell a different story than 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 watch 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. Every move of the choreography has been designed to be an extension of their story and it uses elements of their dance to represent several of the members using their powers. 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. 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 the part where they are sitting on the ground is 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 "Lotto," 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. But we see in the end of "Monster," Baekhyun disguises himself as one of the police and helps the other members escape before they are taken to jail and/or captured by the Red Force, etc. You also see Lay 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. For instance, 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. In "Obsession" 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 red, 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. It's also thought that red light represents the Red Force and blue light represents EXO. So in EXO's MVs when you see red light this is where the Red Force has control, and when you see blue light this is where EXO has the upperhand. However, if you see purple light this is thought to be when the line between EXO and the Red Force is blurred and they are battling to gain control. 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. To see a list of the members and what their role within the group is and what their superpowers are, please check out the reply attached to this comment.
Fun fact: Everything you see EXO doing in the MV, they can do live while singing live the whole time and maintain stable vocals. They can sing and perform like that for more than 3 hours straight in concert and they sound even better live than they do in their studio recordings. And there is usually never more than a 5 minute break between sets. And on average, they perform about 20 to 30 songs which all have intense choreography or performances to go with them. To help you pinpoint the powers being used in their 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 that are not in this MV, but are important to 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.)
I'm early! Thank you once again for reacting to EXO. I would like to recommend you to EXO Live, EXO - MAMA + Monster + Wolf (1.2M views) and EXO - Diamond + Coming Over + Run This + Drop That + Power. MVs: Love me right, MAMA, Call me baby.
dude i really wish you also check out their live concerts version, especially the japan concerts. their live performance is just insane! that is why i love EXO.
I really love your EXO reactions! I’m learning a lot! Please react to more EXO! EXO’s Call me Baby won’t disappoint I swear! 🥺 … fun fact though EXO’s live concerts are better than their studio versions so you might want to react to their lives too in the future! I don’t know why I listen to other kpop groups too but there’s something about EXO that really WOWs me!!! Maybe because they’re so talented and very versatile! Even when some of them left and some are currently enlisted their popularity ever since debut is the same 😅 I hope to see more of you! 🥰 Fighting! OH! And the genres you’ve mentioned 💯💯💯…. Wait till you hear their ballads they’re INSANE!!! 🤣
@@thebillboard500club EXO is definitely my favorite grupo BUT I think you should really check songs by NCT. Their track Make a Wish made a lot of success even in the US (and they made an english version later). You should really check it out! It has kind an indian feel, maybe due to the melodic phrasing. Ps: Most SM Entertainment artist's tracks are always a journey for any musician, they are really experimentalists and pioneers. Never cease to impress me.
You need to react their concert too... there is middley section in their concert. It dope... they did remix and no lipsing... if i am not wrong it was in elyxion exo planet 4 concert in seoul. Middley songs was diamond+coming over+run this+drop that+power... it was seems like in the club... and thank you for reaction exo... your reaction educate us... it help us to understand about music... thank you
What I love about SM's producers and vocal teachers is that they take the particular skills that each one has and blend them very well. EXO has very particular members that have very very different styles and its amazing that they can actually match really well
SM artists are all to the highest level in terms of vocals. When I first introduce to kpop, Super Junior and Girls Generations/SNSD are the SM artists that I admire their music and later discover the rest artists under that company, now EXO set the standards so high. Watching their live performances, concerts, it makes me losts my words and goosebumbs.
How did they perfect it?? It's years of practice.... they still take vocal lessons that's how they perfected it these guys are the most dedicated passionate artist in the industry
Thanks for doing these breakdowns. It’s very informative. Really cool to hear all the stuff going on in the song that I didn’t notice before. EXO harmonizing is amazing and it was really neat when you pointed out when it was happening in places I didn’t even realize. I would love to see song breakdowns on EXOs Baekhyun solo work (Bambi) or the group SHINee
Yeah, Bambi is so good too,Baekhyun is my favorite soloist, I hope he does a reaction to this, also All I Got and Cry For Love are amazing, I hope in the future he can react to his others MVs as Un Village, Candy and Get You Alone. Baekhyun is truly the genius Idol and the best soloist, so I can't wait for those reactions 😊
I'm doing Bambi this week as a live stream on RUclips! Check the community posts tab for details. Turn your notification bell on so you don't miss it :)
I just reacted to the Live Performance of Exo Mama + Monster + Wolf on my new Patreon for Platinum and up! I hope you’ll check it out: www.patreon.com/musicindustrycontact
True! Kpop loves to mix different genres into one song! *Kick It by NCT 127* is like metal mixed with hip hop and r&b!! And the concept is martial arts and is a tribute to Bruce Lee!
EXO is just different, unique. Even though I dislike SM Entertainment they will always have my respect when it comes to tutelage. They know how to create artists, singers, performers. Artists work ethic is so high they are in competition with themselves. The nostalgia in Kpop is the best part, 70's 80's 90's. Enjoy your journey.
SM entertainment started the trainee system where they perfected their skills before debuting these amazing idols Main vocalists are top tier but the rest of the team would have either addictive baritone or honey glazed unique sound to each of them And yes, SM artists are insanely famous for their vocals. It’s so colorful in a group hence their harmonising is top notch
So far you are the only one i watch that review it meticulously...not only the visual. Review the things that usually dont notice by the viewers and reviewer. Thanks. I love EXO so much.
I'm an EXO-L (EXO's fandom name) but I would like to request Taemin's ADVICE mv. It's very rare for me to get hooked to a song in the first listen but this song did it. I was wondering why. Thanks in advance, Sir Adam!
I agree. I only listened to advice one time and for some reason I couldn't stop thinking about it. It didn't feel like an ear worm but it does something in my head that I can't figure out 😆

LDN noise other famous songs like Exo’s - Lighsaber, Lotto, Gravity, Damage Baekhyun - Cry for Love (one of exo main vocal solo track) Astro - Crazy Sexy Cool SuperM - dangerous woman
yeyy.. SM Vocalist not joke. They can sing all genres. Thank you already react EXO.🥰 please add in your list to react: Girls' Generation (SNSD) - I GOT A BOY EXO-MAMA EXO-DROP THAT
you said Seal and my jaw dropped. I've listened to this song easily over 100 times, maybe 200 times, but I never made that connection. And the instance you said Seal, I could just hear the similarity in key and chord progression to Kiss By a Rose. Wow, good catch!
EXO's music is way ahead of their time. Monster was released in June 2016. Imagine that? Props, really not just to EXO but to everyone behind their music and MVs.
it could be cool if you reacted to both versions: Chinese and Korean, so you can meet the original 12 members.... my personal favorite is by EXO- M but I do love both
you really should react to their albums, like a listening party ! i can promise you won't be disappointed, exo are known for their amazing b-side tracks (repackage albums 'love shot' and 'the power of music' are masterpieces)
I don't mind you breaking down all of their discography tbh it's that good lol But for the sake of being realistic and practical, I'd suggest their official debut song called Mama, it's one of a kind.
Ah yes, the cultural reset that queen Monster was, I was there and I will never forget that moment lol Thank you for such an insightful reaction, you are very knowledgeable! I really want to recommend their debut song MAMA (its from 2012) bcs its a very unique song, you'll be in for a ride, trust me. Also their b-side track Forever (from their album The War), it was produced by the same producers from Monster (LDN Noise). They also have brighter title tracks like Kokobop, Love Me Right and Call Me Baby if you wanna check it out! Overdose and Growl (the song that made them famous) are also amazing. Again thank you for the reaction!!!
*Superhuman by NCT 127* next please!! 🦸♀️💚 This song is dubbed by Umu from ReacttotheK as the best kpop boy group song!! I also am looking forward to your interview with her!!
Yeah.. I've watched some reaction videos by youtuber and producer in korea said, they really admire SM's music skills and they wanna learn about SM's music & sound system because SM's music sound is really on another level.
Thank you for reacting to EXO and for bringing my attention to so many things I didn't notice before. I am not a musician, never studied anything related to it, but I love to see your reactions because, thanks to your knowledge, I can appreciate EXO and everyone that's behind them even more! Please react to some of their live performances! Then you will really see why they are the vocal kings of k-pop. I don't know if you enjoy ballads or slower songs, but as mentioned by a lot of EXO-Ls, they can sing everything!
For kpop they trained for years before debut. For EXO, they longest one who trained is their leader, Suho (Junmyeon) for 6 years and shortest were Baekhyun and Chen (Jongdae) for only 2 months, the two of them are also 2 of the 3 main vocalist. All of them are equally talented and support certain vocals to give color to each songs. They are claimed as Korea's vocal kings, even rappers and dancers sing in exo which not an ordinary occurence to kpop groups. Thank you for sipporting exo. Please enjoy it alot!!!
Thank you for reacting to monster. I've watched your other EXO reactions hoping that you would do monster, as it is my favorite EXo song. Chen kills the high notes while Chanyeol's rap in the bridge is one of the best raps that I've heard in any kpop song. You have me an even deeper appreciation for this song. Especially with the info about the delays 😊
@@thebillboard500club oh it's a fandom thing 😅 She means by Everything is they can do everything. It can also mean Extra (because they're so funny and extra always) Can also mean Expensive (because they're the global ambassadors for different top brands like Dior, Prada, Gucci, Calvin Klein, Prive and other brands) so to some it up, yes they are Everything. 😁
Wow I'm so early!! First of all, Thank you so much ! Monster is my favorite EXO title track. 🥰 Girls' Generation (SNSD) - I GOT A BOY next pleaseee! The Bohemian Rhapsody of K-pop! I thought of this song immediately when I first heard Aespa's Next Level! SM really loves these kind of songs. (me too ❤)
Hearing people and professionals mention how great and proficient their vocals are over and over and over again never bores me and only proves just how legit they are. I've heard them sing live before, I wish you had that experience too!
Thank you so much for this new reaction to EXO!! *^* Would be really awesome if you could react to Baekhyun (EXO lead vocal) - Bambi. The song is really amazing and I think it would be very interesting for you! :)
Baekhyun is main vocalist along with Chen and D.O the lead vocalist are Suho, Xiumin,And Lay, but honestly now also Chanyeol could pass as lead vocalist, and Kai too they did after all cover some parts of Xiumin and D.O for the exploration concert. And well now even Sehun has improved a lot. But yeah, official there's 3 main vocalist.
@@VickyIvashkov24 yeah of course I know, they’re all hella talented and I love them all. I was just mentioning his position so that he could know who I was talking about when I asked him to react to Bambi, that’s all.
@@jellalfernandes8631 well sorry if I used the wrong word, English isn’t my first language, but here was my point, mentioning who baekhyun was so that he could knew I was talking about an Exo member. No wonder why some people think exols are rude when I see how some of us treat each other.
Another fantastic video, such a wealth of knowledge. It's nice to know what's going on production-wise. I see people suggesting Going Crazy and Forever and I wholeheartedly agree. A breakdown is needed!
EXO king of vocals in kpop never failed us. I stan the right group. Without proper promotions they've reaches this far. I'm so proud of them. Thank you for ur reaction. #EXO
I subscribed because of EXO. I’m not in a music industry but you really make me appreciate their work even more. On top of that I watch your video to improve my listening too. First time I listen and reading it, second time I don’t. So thank you
I really like yor reviews the small details that you notice from their MVs Im already amaze wth their MVs and song but hearing a lot from you makes me really proud to stan these talented guys. Looking forward for more EXO MV's reviews. Yes all the members are really talented & their vocal is amazing they wont be kpop vocal king for no reason and btw the main rapper Chanyeol arent just a rapper/ singer and a dancer he can play differents instrument as well as Lay. Chen who hits the high note are same from the obsession.
I hope he keeps reacting to SM artists, I swear they are the most intricate productions and unique compositions. NCT127 songs like Punch and Superhuman, Red Velvet's Rookie and Dumb Dumb, so many
EXO always serve vocals.... Even main rapper has a lot solo songs... Everyone agree EXO is the King of Vocal.... Chen, Baekhyun, D.O., Suho are the main vocals.... They r no joke when it comes to vocal... And there are lead vocals, Kai, Lay and Xiumin who would become main vocalist in other group. Chanyeol and Sehun, are really great rapper. I love when they do rap-sing, their flow really something
I loved how you talked about genre's and that Kpop doesn't stick to one style alone. This is one reason I have fallen for multiple bands and they are always reinventing themselves and trying something new. Not to mention the talent these boys have. Apart from the vocal Kings EXO consider checking out Monsta X, Ateez and Stray Kids just to name a few. Stray kids are fairly self producing and member of Ateez and Monsta X also have lots of input into their songs with composing, arrangements, lyrics. Most groups rapers write all their own rap sections. Have fun watching :)
EXO is called "The Vocal Kings of Kpop" is not for nothing!!! 😎 When it comes to singing, vocalizing, vocal range, harmonization, etc. they are simply THE BEST!!! And what makes them even more SUPERIOR is that they sound as AMAZING when they perform live!!! You should really check out their live performances too! 🙏🏻 And also, EXO is THE MOST VERSATILE group exists, in every aspect, from their music, singing, genre, style, concept, to performance directions/productions. They're just PERFECT!
it'd be interesting to watch u trying explain wtf is happening in exo's debut song 'mama' and also 'wolf', red velvet zimzalabim or girls generation - i got a boy, those are some of the oddest songs i ever heard lol 🕴
Thanks for your request :) I’ll be reacting to Red Velvet's Zimzalabim July 11th at 12pm EST exclusively on my Patreon. Pledge and join our community of "Golden Ears" to watch it live. I hope to see you there! www.patreon.com/musicindustrycontact

People throw around the phrase ‘cultural reset’ a lot these days, but Monster was legit a cultural reset in Kpop. The fan chants alone sound like they could topple a building. There was just so much excitement over this track.
exactly!!!
They actually can sing all genres
Yeah even rock
yup every single comeback is a different genre or mashup of genres and within each of the albums they release, each track is a different genre as well :)
whenever people praise exo for their vocals, it added 100 years to my lifetime istg
That's how I always feel
So you'll be imortal.
Their vocals are praised by everyone with ears hehe
Same
Facts: you'll never regret reacting to any exo songs or MVs
The vocalist who hits the highnote in this song and in Obsession is Chen EXO's main vocalist he really does have a wide range from high to low note. I also appreciate your observation that EXO can do a wide range of genre and every member has a genre they excel at but EXO's sound as a whole is the BEST!
Chen is ONE of EXOs main vocalists, there's also D.O. and Baekhyun, though Chen does usually hit the highest notes, followed by Baek. D.O. is mostly on the ad-libs.
And there's Xiumin, the hidden gem. Have you listened to EXO-CBX's As I Live?
@@user-dc5be2bf3z and there's Suho. They're all honestly great vocalists, though. EXO had no vocal holes.
@@mx.n.3682 yes, yes. I love his solo performances and his musical.
Winwin I love him and all nct members from all units❤❤❤
You’ll probably enjoy dissecting EXO’s “going crazy” and “Forever”.. it doesn’t have an official music video though!..its a b-side tract.. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it..
I agree! Those 2 songs goes hard too!
Up
Up
i agree!
also damage, gravity and bad dream
I think "Going Crazy" and "Forever" by EXO will be a great song to break down as well 😊 (Though these are b-sides from their "The War" album)
Up
Up.
FOREVER should be in k-pop text books.
@@yordankavo facts.
FOREVER is an amazing song

SM vocalists were trained to sing while on a treadmill. Right, Ls?
very true
Their training is really wild but it gives us really great performances.
Fact
It is one of the reasons why antis always say they lip sync on their live performances. *Can't hear them breathing*
Yup. BOA ran up and down the office building stairs while practising vocal training. Stamina. Endurance. That's how SM artists can still SING while doing crazy choreos. Top class.
Please watch their live performance.
1. MAMA - monster - wolf live in japan.
2. El Dorado live in japan
UPPP
Upp. This what i wait.
Uppppp.
Uppppp.
MAMA mv is an interesting one
The producer is LDN noise! Crazy talented and they looked super proud whenever they did a showcase for their exo’s song. The way they use exo’s vocal layering and harmonising is 😘😘😘😘
Omg... I think you should listen to EXO - Mama (means "Your Highness"), their debut song. It's orchestra-rock. It's EPIC. EXO is so versatile, they can do any genre. I'm not even exaggerating. I guess that's what happened when you managed to combine some very talented people into one group, you hit the jackpot. Throw any kind of music at their way, and they will eat it.
Orchestra-rock + Heavy metal too...that's one of my favorites, the MV is so good and epic, the vocals amazing as always
@@elSHiamu indeed! Mama is also one of my favorites. I'm also partial to superhero stuff so... EXO and their concept suits me well.
This too
Let me rephrase one word from your statement dear because EXO is just that group.
“That's what happened when you managed to combine MOST of the talented person in a group.”
YES EXO KINGS, flex them Kings.
I’m doing a private live stream reaction and breakdown for EXO “Mama” on Sunday. I hope to see you there! Grab your ticket here: bit.ly/exomama
they trained while running in the treadmill so yes their vocal training itself was wild
Very smart. A lot of singers do this.
I only realized today that there is always a lot of things happening in EXO's Music videos 😭
The crazy theories ;)
@@elSHiamu Ikr! Crazy Theories only Screams EXO (TwT)
Their vocals are perfected because in kpop industry, idols are trained for years before they get to debut. Of course except to some lucky and talented ones who get to debut with just months of training. Also, SM Ent is said to be a vocal powerhouse.
Baek and chen only trained for few months then they debuted.
And although their vocals are already great they still seek for lessons and trainings.
I know a very popular kpop group but their vocals ain't close to exo lol
Not all kpop groups sis
EXO is one if few groups with really good vocals tho
No matter how many times i listen to EXO songs, I don’t get tired of them cos there’s so many things to listen for. Rhythm, synth, vocals, harmonies, little connectors and now thanks to you, delays! 😆 Personally I love the rubato and RnB vibes when they sing, and the runs they do (yeh yeh yeh yeah) just colors their music so vibrantly.
Couldn't agree more!
Everything EXO is involved in, and I literally mean almost everything, is connected in some way to their concept and storyline. EXO's MVs are kind of like a movie -- it's a movie that has been going on for the past 9 years -- since predebut -- and it has no sign of coming to an end any time soon. The one thing you have to keep in mind with all of EXO's MVs, and I really mean all of them -- including their sub-sub-unit MVs and a majority of the member's solo MVs. And because Baekhyun and Kai are involved, even SuperM's storyline -- is that they are all connected and they all tell a little more of EXO's story.
To truly understand EXO you need to know that EXO debuted in 2012. So to really understand EXO you need to start from the very beginning and watch both of their "Mama" MVs. 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.
Exo, as in exoskeleton, means "outer," so as a member of EXO they are outside the ordinary.The group's concept comes from the real term exoplanet, which is a term that is used for a planet that is outside our solar system, so their name was chosen to represent the fact that they are stars that are "out of this world" when it comes to their talents.
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.
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.
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.
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.
However, the lyrics of the song have very little to do with the story in the MV. If you want to know what the song is about, you should look up an English translation of the lyrics. Because the lyrics tell a different story than 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 watch 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. Every move of the choreography has been designed to be an extension of their story and it uses elements of their dance to represent several of the members using their powers. 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. 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 the part where they are sitting on the ground is 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 "Lotto," 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. But we see in the end of "Monster," Baekhyun disguises himself as one of the police and helps the other members escape before they are taken to jail and/or captured by the Red Force, etc.
You also see Lay 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. For instance, 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.
In "Obsession" 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 red, 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.
It's also thought that red light represents the Red Force and blue light represents EXO. So in EXO's MVs when you see red light this is where the Red Force has control, and when you see blue light this is where EXO has the upperhand. However, if you see purple light this is thought to be when the line between EXO and the Red Force is blurred and they are battling to gain control.
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.
To see a list of the members and what their role within the group is and what their superpowers are, please check out the reply attached to this comment.
Fun fact: Everything you see EXO doing in the MV, they can do live while singing live the whole time and maintain stable vocals. They can sing and perform like that for more than 3 hours straight in concert and they sound even better live than they do in their studio recordings. And there is usually never more than a 5 minute break between sets. And on average, they perform about 20 to 30 songs which all have intense choreography or performances to go with them.
To help you pinpoint the powers being used in their 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 that are not in this MV, but are important to 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.)
I really appreciate your effort girl🙌
I'm early! Thank you once again for reacting to EXO. I would like to recommend you to EXO Live, EXO - MAMA + Monster + Wolf (1.2M views) and EXO - Diamond + Coming Over + Run This + Drop That + Power.

I dare you to break down EXO’s debut song ‘Mama’!
Double dare? 😉

dude i really wish you also check out their live concerts version, especially the japan concerts. their live performance is just insane! that is why i love EXO.
Japan concerts are awesome!

Will do
I really love your EXO reactions! I’m learning a lot! Please react to more EXO! EXO’s Call me Baby won’t disappoint I swear! 🥺 … fun fact though EXO’s live concerts are better than their studio versions so you might want to react to their lives too in the future! I don’t know why I listen to other kpop groups too but there’s something about EXO that really WOWs me!!! Maybe because they’re so talented and very versatile! Even when some of them left and some are currently enlisted their popularity ever since debut is the same 😅 I hope to see more of you! 🥰 Fighting!
OH! And the genres you’ve mentioned 💯💯💯…. Wait till you hear their ballads they’re INSANE!!! 🤣
Thank you! So glad to hear Gem. I've done a few EXO videos so definitely subscribe and check out the others :)
Yesssssssss, EXO are kingssss! Thank you so much!
@@thebillboard500club EXO is definitely my favorite grupo BUT I think you should really check songs by NCT. Their track Make a Wish made a lot of success even in the US (and they made an english version later). You should really check it out! It has kind an indian feel, maybe due to the melodic phrasing.
Ps: Most SM Entertainment artist's tracks are always a journey for any musician, they are really experimentalists and pioneers. Never cease to impress me.
You need to react their concert too... there is middley section in their concert. It dope... they did remix and no lipsing... if i am not wrong it was in elyxion exo planet 4 concert in seoul. Middley songs was diamond+coming over+run this+drop that+power... it was seems like in the club... and thank you for reaction exo... your reaction educate us... it help us to understand about music... thank you
I think he should do the even on elyxion so he can finally believe in exo vocal supremacy 🤭
@@eri6984 i agree...
Added to my list!
@@thebillboard500club yess!!!
@@thebillboard500club thank you for the respond...
EXO has insane vocal layering!..
What I love about SM's producers and vocal teachers is that they take the particular skills that each one has and blend them very well. EXO has very particular members that have very very different styles and its amazing that they can actually match really well
SM artists are all to the highest level in terms of vocals. When I first introduce to kpop, Super Junior and Girls Generations/SNSD are the SM artists that I admire their music and later discover the rest artists under that company, now EXO set the standards so high. Watching their live performances, concerts, it makes me losts my words and goosebumbs.
EXO, kings of harmonies, kings of vocals, music versality
*EXO's 'Monster' is one of the tracks from their 3rd Full Album "EX'ACT"*
Need to listen to more songs from EXACT
EXO with MONSTER VOCALS!
And ofcourse I'm here again thank you so much for this reaction will look forward for more!
How did they perfect it??
It's years of practice.... they still take vocal lessons that's how they perfected it
these guys are the most dedicated passionate artist in the industry
Yes, that's the same guy who hit the D notes on your previous reactions. They are all talented and have amazing vocals.
React to their Wolf MV too. It's a really unique song. The sound baffles, even the classical musicians.
Thanks for doing these breakdowns. It’s very informative. Really cool to hear all the stuff going on in the song that I didn’t notice before. EXO harmonizing is amazing and it was really neat when you pointed out when it was happening in places I didn’t even realize. I would love to see song breakdowns on EXOs Baekhyun solo work (Bambi) or the group SHINee
YES BAEKHYUN BAMBI AND ALL I GOT!!! 👏
Yeah, Bambi is so good too,Baekhyun is my favorite soloist, I hope he does a reaction to this, also All I Got and Cry For Love are amazing, I hope in the future he can react to his others MVs as Un Village, Candy and Get You Alone. Baekhyun is truly the genius Idol and the best soloist, so I can't wait for those reactions 😊
@@elSHiamu Un Village and Cry for Love are definitely my favorites of Baekhyun songs.

True! Kpop loves to mix different genres into one song! *Kick It by NCT 127* is like metal mixed with hip hop and r&b!! And the concept is martial arts and is a tribute to Bruce Lee!
EXO is just different, unique. Even though I dislike SM Entertainment they will always have my respect when it comes to tutelage. They know how to create artists, singers, performers. Artists work ethic is so high they are in competition with themselves. The nostalgia in Kpop is the best part, 70's 80's 90's. Enjoy your journey.
I love this 😭
WE NEVER GET A BAD REACTION FROM ANYONE WHO REACTS TO EXO BE IT VOCALS OR LITERALLY ANYTHING 🙇🏽♀️
This is what got me hooked on EXO
Same here
This song made me EXO-L
This was my first comeback with them and I wasn't even aware because I was still catching up to their contents because I was a new exo-l 😭😭
SM entertainment started the trainee system where they perfected their skills before debuting these amazing idols
Main vocalists are top tier but the rest of the team would have either addictive baritone or honey glazed unique sound to each of them
And yes, SM artists are insanely famous for their vocals. It’s so colorful in a group hence their harmonising is top notch
So far you are the only one i watch that review it meticulously...not only the visual. Review the things that usually dont notice by the viewers and reviewer. Thanks. I love EXO so much.
him: pointing out the bass pattern and explaining it really good
me: waaaiiiit, I actually hear it
I just want to share this fact. EXO releases a new logo every comeback.
*Thanks for checking out EXO's 'Monster'*
Amazing production and lyrics, EXO is killing it in KPOP
Yey! Overdose, Wolf and Growl Pleeeease! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
For ballads: Miracles in December, For life, Universe ♥️♥️♥️
I'm an EXO-L (EXO's fandom name) but I would like to request Taemin's ADVICE mv. It's very rare for me to get hooked to a song in the first listen but this song did it. I was wondering why.
Thanks in advance, Sir Adam!
I agree. I only listened to advice one time and for some reason I couldn't stop thinking about it. It didn't feel like an ear worm but it does something in my head that I can't figure out 😆

absolutely loving how you're on an EXO reaction train :") thank you so much
They were trained to sing while running on a treadmill and they sing while running around and carrying a wheel 😅 That's why their vocals are that good

EXO's music is way ahead of their time. Monster was released in June 2016. Imagine that? Props, really not just to EXO but to everyone behind their music and MVs.

it could be cool if you reacted to both versions: Chinese and Korean, so you can meet the original 12 members.... my personal favorite is by EXO- M but I do love both
Its Chen, the tenor vocalist you’re talking about. Chen is the main vocalist of Exo.
you really should react to their albums, like a listening party ! i can promise you won't be disappointed, exo are known for their amazing b-side tracks (repackage albums 'love shot' and 'the power of music' are masterpieces)
What song do you want me to break down next? The track with the most upvotes will be selected.
Thank you for your reaction
I love it and learned so much things
Pleas keep react to exo song's
Can you react to exo call me baby
hi i had fun watching your reaction vid hopefully you can also react too kai's mmmh🥺.
Mama, it is really interesting. Or maybe What a Life by EXO - SC
I don't mind you breaking down all of their discography tbh it's that good lol
But for the sake of being realistic and practical, I'd suggest their official debut song called Mama, it's one of a kind.
@@soom2260 agreed
Ah yes, the cultural reset that queen Monster was, I was there and I will never forget that moment lol
Thank you for such an insightful reaction, you are very knowledgeable! I really want to recommend their debut song MAMA (its from 2012) bcs its a very unique song, you'll be in for a ride, trust me. Also their b-side track Forever (from their album The War), it was produced by the same producers from Monster (LDN Noise). They also have brighter title tracks like Kokobop, Love Me Right and Call Me Baby if you wanna check it out! Overdose and Growl (the song that made them famous) are also amazing.

Yeah.. I've watched some reaction videos by youtuber and producer in korea said, they really admire SM's music skills and they wanna learn about SM's music & sound system because SM's music sound is really on another level.
Thank you for reacting to EXO and for bringing my attention to so many things I didn't notice before. I am not a musician, never studied anything related to it, but I love to see your reactions because, thanks to your knowledge, I can appreciate EXO and everyone that's behind them even more!
Please react to some of their live performances! Then you will really see why they are the vocal kings of k-pop.
I don't know if you enjoy ballads or slower songs, but as mentioned by a lot of EXO-Ls, they can sing everything!
For kpop they trained for years before debut. For EXO, they longest one who trained is their leader, Suho (Junmyeon) for 6 years and shortest were Baekhyun and Chen (Jongdae) for only 2 months, the two of them are also 2 of the 3 main vocalist. All of them are equally talented and support certain vocals to give color to each songs. They are claimed as Korea's vocal kings, even rappers and dancers sing in exo which not an ordinary occurence to kpop groups. Thank you for sipporting exo. Please enjoy it alot!!!
they learn to sing while running the threadmill, its part of the agencies training ^^
Thank you for reacting to monster. I've watched your other EXO reactions hoping that you would do monster, as it is my favorite EXo song. Chen kills the high notes while Chanyeol's rap in the bridge is one of the best raps that I've heard in any kpop song. You have me an even deeper appreciation for this song. Especially with the info about the delays 😊
So happy to hear that!
Their live stage performance 100% more more better and fire cek it out.

not really important opinion but the "E" in EXO means EVERYTHING! ♥
Interesting. What does XO mean?

She means by Everything is they can do everything.
It can also mean Extra (because they're so funny and extra always)
Can also mean Expensive (because they're the global ambassadors for different top brands like Dior, Prada, Gucci, Calvin Klein, Prive and other brands) so to some it up, yes they are Everything. 😁

17:02 adlibs. EXO songs ALWAYS have adlibs. and the king of adlibs, riffs and runs in EXO is D.O. (kyungsoo) his vocal is very R&B-ish
wow... i never realized it before... i watched/listened about 100 times lol it's really my fave and the reason why i like EXO.. they're talented!!
I subscribed because of EXO. I’m not in a music industry but you really make me appreciate their work even more. On top of that I watch your video to improve my listening too. First time I listen and reading it, second time I don’t. So thank you
Oh, I wish he would have did a lyric video as well. Monster is one of Exo's most 🥵.
I really like yor reviews the small details that you notice from their MVs Im already amaze wth their MVs and song but hearing a lot from you makes me really proud to stan these talented guys. Looking forward for more EXO MV's reviews. Yes all the members are really talented & their vocal is amazing they wont be kpop vocal king for no reason and btw the main rapper Chanyeol arent just a rapper/ singer and a dancer he can play differents instrument as well as Lay. Chen who hits the high note are same from the obsession.
I hope he keeps reacting to SM artists, I swear they are the most intricate productions and unique compositions.
NCT127 songs like Punch and Superhuman, Red Velvet's Rookie and Dumb Dumb, so many
EXO always serve vocals.... Even main rapper has a lot solo songs... Everyone agree EXO is the King of Vocal.... Chen, Baekhyun, D.O., Suho are the main vocals.... They r no joke when it comes to vocal... And there are lead vocals, Kai, Lay and Xiumin who would become main vocalist in other group. Chanyeol and Sehun, are really great rapper. I love when they do rap-sing, their flow really something
I loved how you talked about genre's and that Kpop doesn't stick to one style alone. This is one reason I have fallen for multiple bands and they are always reinventing themselves and trying something new. Not to mention the talent these boys have. Apart from the vocal Kings EXO consider checking out Monsta X, Ateez and Stray Kids just to name a few. Stray kids are fairly self producing and member of Ateez and Monsta X also have lots of input into their songs with composing, arrangements, lyrics. Most groups rapers write all their own rap sections. Have fun watching :)
Thanks Leah. I'll check those out and added them to my list. :)
Seeing as you're a music producer you would probably be interested in checking out LDN Noise's Behind the Beat for EXO's Monster
Give me some of that powerrrrrrr

you should watch EXO live performance and also the acoustic one
EXO is called "The Vocal Kings of Kpop" is not for nothing!!! 😎
When it comes to singing, vocalizing, vocal range, harmonization, etc. they are simply THE BEST!!! And what makes them even more SUPERIOR is that they sound as AMAZING when they perform live!!! You should really check out their live performances too! 🙏🏻
And also, EXO is THE MOST VERSATILE group exists, in every aspect, from their music, singing, genre, style, concept, to performance directions/productions. They're just PERFECT!
it'd be interesting to watch u trying explain wtf is happening in exo's debut song 'mama' and also 'wolf', red velvet zimzalabim or girls generation - i got a boy, those are some of the oddest songs i ever heard lol 🕴
