Suho and overall Exo don't always sound like kpop, and tbh that's why I stan them. They always have their own signature on their work - both as Exo and soloists - which is what makes them different from the others, and I actually love that for them!
I am loving Hurdle. It's like an 80's song, so funky!! I love that EXO solo albums are so different from each other. And Decanting is wow!! This album is great!! And the vocals!!
What I love about EXO is that they were never afraid to switch to genres and never care of songs that should be trending.. They care about their artistry and how they can express messages to fans... This is music for me
32:26 that line! He's singing about the dream he had of having a concert with Exo-Ls and their silver light which he also mentioned it in his letter 🥺 this man is truly the sweetest person ever I love him beyond words
Frankly speaking Suho's solo albums is actually revealing his vocal talent. I never expected Hurdle from him. But he gave very sweet surprise. Yes, like you said his album is giving quality music & breath of fresh air.
When EXO debuted, I was 12 and instantly became a fan. I have seen every step they have taken since their debut and it has been one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. Today I am 22 years old and I owe them my life. Bear Hug broke me from the inside and made my inner child too happy, that little girl who fell madly in love with them and who followed them to the present without doubt at any time. Junmyeon’s music will always be for crying, I’m convinced. Our leader pours all his feeling into his solo music with intention and feels special, hits different. He has grown a lot as an artist and it is an honor to witness it.
17:00 "he doesn't care about what's gonna be popular, what's gonna sell" Totally agree! He has such a distinct style. And i love how he sticks to it, even if it means it won't be liked by the general population
Hurdle is like a song that would've been released in the 80s or 90s. Gives me like Queen or Sting vibes. But for me Decanting is my kind of jam.. Sexy rock aging like fine wine. Like the sound of a decanter, aerating the wine giving it twice the aroma.
I totally agree with you, I love the organic feel of his songs. Probably because he has an actual band playing in the background. It's my wish to hear an EXO song with an actual band at the back or perhaps they can play the instruments too. After all, they are very talented. This is why other than EXO, I also like CNBlue which is a K-band from 2nd gen.
Decanting is definitely my favorite. It's so sultry, mature, really feels like a fine wine. The whole album is absolutely wonderful as everything he does and we can really confirm his classy taste. We're just so thankful to hear his amazing voice singing the hearfelt songs he composes 🥺 Artist indeed, that's our leader!! ❤️
You're right, he doesn't care what sells or not (I can bet he spent more for all the production, release, promotions than what he'll actually earn from the album sales), what he wants from his album is to express his artistic side and his expressions. He has also mentioned before that he really gets worried because Exo-ls worry so much about charts and making him win that they get sad and frustrated when he/they don't win. What he wants is for the fans/non-fans to enjoy the album and be comforted by his albums. He is an amazing person but he is even bigger of an artist ! Oh God I love him so much I hope he gets all the love he deserves ❤️
I've always thought Suho was main vocal material too, but now I DEMAND that someone gives him the main vocal position officially. He literally outsang his pre-military self in this album. The improvement is atonishing.
I remembered your reaction on his Self-Portrait, and you said you wanted more vocals from him. And Grey Suit did not fail to showcase his ability as a vocalist. He's so talented.
Joined this listening party with you. You are very right about this album. I think it is an album for himself. Almost songs have some wired/ unpredictable melodies which make them sound so "SUHOlistic"
I lost my shit multiple times listening to the album! Hurdle blew me away. His voice was insane! And Decanting really was an experience, I love these kind of slower songs (just like Baekhyun's Love Scene, it's one of my all time favorites)
I believe in Starry Night supremacy 🥺❤️ I really love Suho and his taste of music, this album is a whole masterpiece, it made me so happy and felt as I'd was in heaven My fav in this album is Hurdle/Decanting and then the others four🥰
So fast ! But I can't watch/listen to it now but I just wanna say "Bear Hug", "Decanting" and "Hurdle" are my top favorites at first listen ! Congratulations to our leader for giving us this album. It's beautiful and definitely a different vibe ! Congrats us all Bunny Citizens 💙
I’m so proud of Suho. I agree that this album is a breath of fresh air in kpop right now. And all the songs make me feel so nostalgic- reminds me of the music I grew up listening. Junmyeon put so much thought into every little detail of this album 😭
I was doing house chores while listening to the album and when Decanting starded to play I had to stop, I was like " Damd Suho, I'm still innocent man"😂. But anyway, Its him in every part of this album. Its very floating but solid and OUR LEADERNIM IS OFFICIALLY BACK
I just wanted to check if you have reacted already.. 😍 I'll be back after my 4th round of listening to Leader-nim's album in spotify. Brb! As of now, I like Hurdle...
I like listening to your album/song reviews especially when you give your understanding or opinion about the song/s. I'm a non-lyric listener, I process the melody and sounds more than the lyrics itself. So everytime I watch your reactions, I get an "understanding" of the lyrics..
I'm with you Austin. Decanting is my favorite on this CD. His vocal ability is just so awesome. I hope he comes out with a mini-album of songs similar to Decanting. His ability to slide his voice and sound so sensual is perfect for those types of songs.
Junmyeon planned every detail.. He's really genius producer, his albums are his stories, his experience. And I love it so much. As expected truly artist KIM JUNMYEON SUHO
..i badly want an English version of all of the songs in the album..omg.!!!.i wish i can understand korean language without reading the sub or the translations..i really like this kind of genre..😢😭
I'm done watching. I honestly guessed 'Hurdle' to be your favorite and ! At 2nd listen - 'Bear Hug' is still my top favorite I got goose bumps and I'm teary. Thank you, all that I want to say about Hurdle, Decanting and Morning Star were found in your words !
I personally love Decanting. But I love the entire album. I agree with you in that music now a days is just a trend…..copy and paste what people see as trending, popular. And to see Suho put out an album like this, so personal and meaningful is refreshing. Regardless if is popular or not I am happy he is making the music HE likes. EXO has done so much as a group and I really enjoy how different their solo albums are. Especially Kyungsoo and Suho…. Chen as well. Thank you for supporting them and for your honest reactions.
EXO really doesn't care about trends. They've been like this since the beginning. Debuting with 'MAMA' which did not go well with Korean fans, then following with much weirder 'WOLF' ; EXO really doesn't give a flying eff. btw, The WHOLE ALBUM is greaaaaaaaat!!!!! I love HURDLE and DECANTING particularly. JUNMYEON'S VOCALS ARE MAGICAL!
I like them all but decanting is more my taste and bear hug made me sob ,so maybe these 2 are my favorite but still i like them all. I hope EXOLS keep Streaming the album cause suho deserves ❤️ Thanks for the reaction 😊
I love Hurdle. Funny you mention Koreans might not like it. Cause I was thinking this would be great for western listeners. Maybe change the language to all English. Decanting is sooooo sensual. All the jazzy instrumentals are amazing.
when you said that the album is authentic i couldn't agreed more because is really what this album is to me, and i think the reason is because he is deeply involved in every piece of this album makes all the sense and that's why we feel this while listening to grey suit, music miss this miss the passion the writing and i think junmyeon give us all of this and thats why it sounds so different and so good, sounds like music for the heart not for the charts
I loved Self Portrait... But Grey Suit is really something else. I can't stop listening to it. I've become an Exo-L even if I don't like kpop very much. But they are different, so... Here we are! And now... This album. It's completly new and old fashioned at the same time. And I can truly say that me and Suho share the same taste in music! I don't know if Koreans will like it but I' m proud of him. He did what he wanted, showed us his colors. I love you, Leadernim
I'm waiting for your reaction video to first listen to this album. And wow this album is masterpiece, sound of SUHO really my taste.. He's organic music so mind blowing.. He deserves all the love..
During Self Portrait, SUHO himself said that his goal wasn't to showcase his vocals, he wanted his sincerity to reach people and I think he succeeded with that.
About bearhug , Suho talked about wanting to give a big warm hug to students and office workers (during his service) who felt like they were wandering around just bored...The Xylophone sounds are included to allude to elements of children songs and fairy tales full translation by suhocaffe twt I loved your reaction and your appreciation for this album
There are sooo many ways to interpret the whole album YmY i love it sooo much. The way i see it: Morning Star: waking up from a dream Grey Suit: getting up to stepping out Hurdle: running Decanting: slowing the pace...anticipating Bear Hug: staying still...hugging Moment: walking together...happy...content....dancing in the moonlight Uuuggghhh a whole musical play!
You know, after hearing the teaser I wasn't excited for the album anymore because it sounded so much like self portrait (even though I LOVE Self Portrait) and I was hoping for something new, a new side of our Myeonie. After hearing the whole album I must say it is definitely worth hearing, his voice and the songs are...an experience, a very wonderful musical experience. My favorite song is Hurdle, I can only imagine the mv 👀
Hurdle is amazing but Decanting is love❤️ For decanting, i imagined two people dancing to the song. I wish to see him dance with someone in a slow sensual dance form for this song. That would be mind blowing for real.
Suho and overall Exo don't always sound like kpop, and tbh that's why I stan them. They always have their own signature on their work - both as Exo and soloists - which is what makes them different from the others, and I actually love that for them!
well said!
Exactly, up till now I can't say I am a kpop fan since I only listen to EXO - doesn't sound like a typical/commercialized kpop
They has many random vibe
@@lxo2670 kpop is very diverse anyway. There's not a single sound that can actually represents it. It always evolves & experiments.
I am loving Hurdle. It's like an 80's song, so funky!! I love that EXO solo albums are so different from each other. And Decanting is wow!! This album is great!! And the vocals!!
Me too! What make smile more, my husband love this album too, yeay! He loves Decanting.
I love Decanting very much but Bear Hug shook meee
What I love about EXO is that they were never afraid to switch to genres and never care of songs that should be trending.. They care about their artistry and how they can express messages to fans... This is music for me
32:26 that line! He's singing about the dream he had of having a concert with Exo-Ls and their silver light which he also mentioned it in his letter 🥺 this man is truly the sweetest person ever I love him beyond words
I’m lost for words how good this album is. It’s like letting go the grey and embrace all the colours he had missed. We indeed missed him.
Frankly speaking Suho's solo albums is actually revealing his vocal talent. I never expected Hurdle from him. But he gave very sweet surprise. Yes, like you said his album is giving quality music & breath of fresh air.
When EXO debuted, I was 12 and instantly became a fan. I have seen every step they have taken since their debut and it has been one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.

He has grown a lot as an artist and it is an honor to witness it.
Morning Star is a really really great driving song! Imagine driving on a moutain with the ocean on the other side with your window open..
Agree.
Agree
Morning star reminds me so much of britpop music somehow
17:00 "he doesn't care about what's gonna be popular, what's gonna sell"
Totally agree! He has such a distinct style. And i love how he sticks to it, even if it means it won't be liked by the general population

Suho is a rockstar
You're right, he doesn't care what sells or not (I can bet he spent more for all the production, release, promotions than what he'll actually earn from the album sales), what he wants from his album is to express his artistic side and his expressions. He has also mentioned before that he really gets worried because Exo-ls worry so much about charts and making him win that they get sad and frustrated when he/they don't win.

I've always thought Suho was main vocal material too, but now I DEMAND that someone gives him the main vocal position officially. He literally outsang his pre-military self in this album. The improvement is atonishing.
We got 4 rockers now! Chanyeol, Chen, Baekhyun and now Suho. So proud of them all ❤
SUHO's debut album was rock as well
This whole album- perfection. Retro- ish. I’m loving this.
I think Suho really found his signature style. He shines so bright💙🌌
I remembered your reaction on his Self-Portrait, and you said you wanted more vocals from him. And Grey Suit did not fail to showcase his ability as a vocalist. He's so talented.
The emotional songs for last... This is why he said on Bubble that we might cry a lot after listening to the whole album lol...
"Don't bring God into this!" LMAOOO 😭 this whole album is perfection!!!
Joined this listening party with you.
You are very right about this album. I think it is an album for himself.
Almost songs have some wired/ unpredictable melodies which make them sound so "SUHOlistic"
I lost my shit multiple times listening to the album! Hurdle blew me away. His voice was insane! And Decanting really was an experience, I love these kind of slower songs (just like Baekhyun's Love Scene, it's one of my all time favorites)
How come every EXO member can draw such strong emotions from us? They're amazing performers - artists, singers, dancers - amazing people.
I believe in Starry Night supremacy 🥺❤️
I really love Suho and his taste of music, this album is a whole masterpiece, it made me so happy and felt as I'd was in heaven
My fav in this album is Hurdle/Decanting and then the others four🥰
So fast ! But I can't watch/listen to it now but I just wanna say "Bear Hug", "Decanting" and "Hurdle" are my top favorites at first listen ! Congratulations to our leader for giving us this album. It's beautiful and definitely a different vibe ! Congrats us all Bunny Citizens 💙
38:47 SAME
Like, I'm gonna listen to a song whenever I feel like it, not just for views. That's what Suho wanted.
I’m so proud of Suho. I agree that this album is a breath of fresh air in kpop right now. And all the songs make me feel so nostalgic- reminds me of the music I grew up listening.
Junmyeon put so much thought into every little detail of this album 😭
I'm still not ever Starry Night and yet he's starting the album with this bop that is Morning star!
MOMENTS IS SLEPT ON oh come on guys like please ..... the melodies in that song is just out of this world ... i don't think any one has done it before
I was doing house chores while listening to the album and when Decanting starded to play I had to stop, I was like " Damd Suho, I'm still innocent man"😂. But anyway, Its him in every part of this album. Its very floating but solid and OUR LEADERNIM IS OFFICIALLY BACK

I so love Hurdle and Decanting 😍
I loved this album!! It's my favorite so far!! I cried so much with Bear Hug.. I don't know how to deal with it.. ❤️❤️❤️
Bear Hug hits different !
Its a big WOW! album i love it.suho make us fall in love with him
ganda ng album ni pogi😍
Junmyeon planned every detail.. He's really genius producer, his albums are his stories, his experience. And I love it so much. As expected truly artist KIM JUNMYEON SUHO
I'm a huge fan of Day6. Recently, addicted to Suho's artistry. From handsomeness to his talent. I LOVE HIS VOICE AND FACE! 😍😂
AAAAH, I was looking forward to it, thanks, that was fast!
..i badly want an English version of all of the songs in the album..omg.!!!.i wish i can understand korean language without reading the sub or the translations..i really like this kind of genre..😢😭

Fighting Leader SUHO
Decanting is that song from a sexy romantic film~ I love it too

Sabía que iba a ser un gran regreso, pero supera mis expectativas!!!
*Oof... ay ay ay pero que WOW Suho... POW 💥 you outdid yourself on this one. An Empire within himself. I’m proud of you.*
the serene and beautiful angelic voice of Suho❤🧡💛💚💙

btw, The WHOLE ALBUM is greaaaaaaaat!!!!! I love HURDLE and DECANTING particularly. JUNMYEON'S VOCALS ARE MAGICAL!
Can't wait for Hurdle MV 😍
Decanting is my new Favorite😉😏
Love every song, I think my “favourite” song will just keep changing every time I listen to the album. Thx for doing this❤️
I like them all but decanting is more my taste and bear hug made me sob ,so maybe these 2 are my favorite but still i like them all.
I hope EXOLS keep Streaming the album cause suho deserves ❤️
Thanks for the reaction 😊
I love Hurdle. Funny you mention Koreans might not like it. Cause I was thinking this would be great for western listeners. Maybe change the language to all English.
Decanting is sooooo sensual. All the jazzy instrumentals are amazing.
Yup, Hurdle and Decanting my favorites! Suho is flexin' all kinds of ways...his voice, his MV's, his looks ! Suho, happy for you and us Exols LOL ❤🔥!!
First listen i felt thrown off because it sounded so different but man at every listen it gets better! I love this album so much
when you said that the album is authentic i couldn't agreed more because is really what this album is to me, and i think the reason is because he is deeply involved in every piece of this album makes all the sense and that's why we feel this while listening to grey suit, music miss this miss the passion the writing and i think junmyeon give us all of this and thats why it sounds so different and so good, sounds like music for the heart not for the charts
You're spoiling us today!
I can't describe how much I love this album. I can't say for sure rn, but I think I like hurdle the most.
I miss him and I love him🥺❤
Bear Hugs is giving me a lot of different emotions
My favorite is decanting. 🧡
Welcome back Austin!
Sir Austin, thank you for supporting Suho and EXO as always,... more subs and power to your channel 🥳 great reaction
Yes! The more you listen to this, the better it gets!
I think he can easily attract men fans with this album, his album is not a typical kpop music
I loved Self Portrait... But Grey Suit is really something else.
I can't stop listening to it.
I've become an Exo-L even if I don't like kpop very much. But they are different, so... Here we are!
And now... This album. It's completly new and old fashioned at the same time. And I can truly say that me and Suho share the same taste in music! I don't know if Koreans will like it but I' m proud of him. He did what he wanted, showed us his colors. I love you, Leadernim
I so love your reaction, Sir Austin! Thank you for supporting Leadernim! Thank you for supporting pure art, music and talent! 🥰🥰
aaaAaa HURDLE 🥺🥺❤️❤️

I'm waiting for your reaction video to first listen to this album. And wow this album is masterpiece, sound of SUHO really my taste.. He's organic music so mind blowing.. He deserves all the love..
During Self Portrait, SUHO himself said that his goal wasn't to showcase his vocals, he wanted his sincerity to reach people and I think he succeeded with that.

About bearhug , Suho talked about wanting to give a big warm hug to students and office workers (during his service) who felt like they were wandering around just bored...The Xylophone sounds are included to allude to elements of children songs and fairy tales

There are sooo many ways to interpret the whole album YmY i love it sooo much. The way i see it:
Morning Star: waking up from a dream
Grey Suit: getting up to stepping out
Hurdle: running
Decanting: slowing the pace...anticipating
Bear Hug: staying still...hugging
Moment: walking together...happy...content....dancing in the moonlight
Uuuggghhh a whole musical play!
Let me recover. But EXO has different colors. This Album is for EXOLs.
I think I fell in love with Decanting
Bear hug reminds me like something switchfoot would release
You know, after hearing the teaser I wasn't excited for the album anymore because it sounded so much like self portrait (even though I LOVE Self Portrait) and I was hoping for something new, a new side of our Myeonie. After hearing the whole album I must say it is definitely worth hearing, his voice and the songs are...an experience, a very wonderful musical experience.

Hurdle is amazing but Decanting is love❤️ For decanting, i imagined two people dancing to the song. I wish to see him dance with someone in a slow sensual dance form for this song. That would be mind blowing for real.
I have a relationship with bear hug.. And its hugging me rn.
