Fun fact Exo actually beat out 1 Direction in the billboards for best boy band when 1 Direction was at their peak. That’s the influence and talent they have. Their concerts are the fastest sold out concerts with 0.2 seconds.
I'm here for EXO. If you're going to continue to compare with the view and popularity, that doesn't make sense. Because EXO's promotions are very limited. Even we want them to to do promotions here in western countries. This is group also a popular and very talented group. Even the rappers are good singers...."Vocal Kings" for a reason.
Just one thing...Don't compare EXO with BTS... coz EXO is NOT typical kpop boy group you can see everywhere .... Literally holding the title as NATIONS PICK boy group ,The VOCAL KINGS of kpop , The EMPERORS of Kpop .... The very FIRST kpop group to have an amazing concept with PERFECT STORYLINE .... The total package ... EXO all Nine members are complete Artists Nine Actors ,Models ,successful solo artists Their Company is SM entertainment they did not like to promote EXO in western countries .. You can't never find any other group like EXO..... simply holding the guinness world records for the worlds fastest sold out concert in 2017 beating their own previous records in 2015... Till today its a record not any kpop group or international artist couldn't broke .. The First kpop group who performed in olympics ... You will amazed if u see their live performances ..specialy they known as better singing live with stable vocals .... Hope you don't compare any of groups ..coz every group has their own charms ....its not worth for comparing or disgraced .... hope u can understand what mean.... popularity is not the always best .... but kpop is beyond BP, BTS ..... So dive deep ... if u like to enter the EXO rabbit hole so wishing you good luck for your journey .... you will NEVER disappoint with EXO ....coz as a fan they never fails to raise their standards high day by day... Anyways thanks
for suuure…..this bts can never be in the same high calibre level of excellent EXO (vocals, discography, all around package, visuals, panache, etc.)….gosh
Melon has hailed EXO as the 'Emperor of K-pop! EXO are vocal kings!! 👍🏼 You will be amazed by EXO concert and live performance as their live vocals are even better than studio version 👏🏼 Other recommended songs Tempo, Love Shot, Obsession, Love me Right, Growl, MAMA (debut song) etc
EXO's vocal quality is incomparable, their music, vocals, visuals and interpretation are on another level, it is not in vain that they are known as the vocal kings of K-pop, thank you very much for your reaction. More from EXO please, "Love Shot", "Miracles In December", "Tempo", "Cream Soda", "The Killing Voice". Thanks a lot! ✨✨✨
started K-pop with BTS but after finding EXO I stay with EXO EXO, truly talented group with vocals, dancing, acting and entertainment skills I think Big Bang and EXO are the two best groups that show the amazing skills of K-pop with different styles and live performances are on another level compared to BTS
If you are looking for HIGH QUALITY vocals, EXO is the standard. When you want to see a high quality dance, watch EXO's live performance of Electric Kiss, Tempo, Monster, The Eve, Kokobop
since you're new to kpop, every group has a different image on every new album. EXO has a dark image on this album but they have different concepts. so they're not "emo" & please if you're going to dive into more kpop, listen & watch first before you say something. and remove being a bts bias when you watch new groups. yes, bts & blackpink made kpop popular but groups like EXO, BigBang, 2NE1, SHINee, TVXQ among others made the foundation of what kpop is today.
EXO rules the kpop industry before BTS got big. They are both third generation. EXO has never promoted beyond Asia. Has their agency promoted them properly they may have been huge as well (we will never know). They have a higher net worth than BTS or BP. Each member is extremely talented and successful. Definitely, do not compare groups. Each group is different and has different personalities, strengths and sounds. Go into the new videos with an open mind and leave your biases behind while listening to a new group.
Please don't compare Kpop bands as they all have their own style. There is a huge amount of talent in Kpop and it can't be defined by one group. Each fan group will tell you how their group has broken records. Having said that, EXO is one of the best, to me THE best. In my own biased opinion (as all opinions are) they contain the best dancer in Kpop, the best vocals as a whole group with their 3 main vocalist having talent beyond the reach of most others, one of the best rappers in the industry and performance levels that have to be seen to be believed. I am always confident and proud to say you can take your pick of any EXO track and not be disappointed.
no one is bigger than EXO and BIGBANG in kpop ,cus what you said BTS and some of new Black Pink is Pop not Kpop , witch yiu already have in USA and UK, EXO, BIGBANG, 2n1 are pure kpop
EXO is known as the Vocal Kings of Kpop! When listening to them, listen to not only the front vocals, but also the vocal harmonies, ad-libs, runs and background vocals.
EXO are called VOCAL KINGS AKA EMPEROR of K-POP, KINGS OF LIVE PERFORMANCES, RNB KINGS, NATION'S PICK, VISUAL KINGS, ALL ROUNDER GROUP, WORLD CLASS PERFORMERS. They deliver quality and experience not just typical music. The three main vocalists of Exo are the best 3 male vocalists of the whole K-pop industry. And the two main dancers are among those best dancers who are known as dancing machines. You can't compare Exo to anyone. They're the best of the industry.
Please react to EXO Killing voice performance. It's a live performance where they sing snippets of their hit/famous songs live. It'll help you as an introduction to their style
I don’t think his music standards are high enough to appreciate EXO. He looks like he likes brainless high Produced autotune music fan.I wouldn’t suggest EXO's music knowing he Isn't open minded enough to shut the f up and listen the music before comparing the artist and shit talking about them
pleeeeaaase….NEVER compare EXO with over-rated bts; they can never be in the same high-calibre excellence of EXO (vocals, discography, quality & range, all-around package, visuals, panache, etc.)….geez
Sorry, but you can't compare EXO to other groups. They are called The vocal kings , The Nation's Pick, and idols of idols . All of the K-pop industry takes EXO as a role model , like they are very big in SK , you should watch EXO killing voice, Mama , Monster Wollf live performance, EL dorado live performance , Obsession, Tempo ,
God, it's nice that you love so much other group and everything, but it would be much nice if you just focus on the group that you're reacting to, and judge them by who they are and by their own talent. Just a suggestion.
This aesthetic is really just for this video. They change their look fairly often to match the music, and they have a good amount of versatility in their genres. They're massive in Korea and Asia in general - you'll just see other groups more often because those groups actively promote in Western countries while EXO's agency has chosen not to do so (despite lots of fans in Europe and the Americas actively asking for it). If you continue to listen, you'll see the rappers are also excellent singers. EXO is active, with their most recent release in 2023. But a couple of members are in the military, so they're just doing solo stuff in the meantime. I recomment Tempo, Call Me Baby, and Obsession. Also their debut, Mama - I have no clue if it will be your style because it's super experimental and dramatic, but I think it highlights their *skill* and their creativity really well. I dunno many groups who were had bold debuts like that, so I think it says a lot about their ability.
Sir, if all youre going to do is come into a reaction with bias theres no reason to do the reaction. I'm telling you for your own good that you do not want to be comparing groups, let alone, EXO and BTS. My EXO suggestions: •B-Side Medley 2024 Fanmeet •Killing Voice •Eldorado, live •Diamond+Coming Over+Run This+Drop That+Power, live •Electric Kiss Dance Practice •Cosmic Railway, live
There are no subtitles by SM before 2018 as EXO wasn't promoted in the west. They were only promoted in Asian Countries. Yes, they are a 9 member group, 8 Koreans and 1 Chinese. And they actually sound better in live performances. That's why i hate groups ike BTS. I only listen to actual vocalists. Since EXO is a vocal oriented group, this group is probably not for you. They are on hiatus since 2019 due to enlistment but they're active in solo projects. Their latest album is in 2023, Exist.
Hi i m an Exo L from Swisserland just to tell you that i agree whith all you said...Exo is not for everyone Exo is for people who knows how to listen music and vocal s...I hate when they compare them to others...They are unique they are home for me and i love and miss them so so much
Mahalo for reacting to EXO and it’s ur channel and wat u say goes but bruh u can’t be judging a group or a singer in a middle of a song…it’s either u listen all the way or listen to 2 or 3 more songs then call it as u want….anyways I’m glad u like the song…mahalo again brada🥰🥰🥰
In terms of discography, EXO has so diversity and always include rap section in their songs, & here is how different EXO from other KPOP group, Chanyeol's & sehun's rap always unique & the flow follows EXO song's melody. Their musicality is not just heavy with instrumental only.
Many are here because of EXO as well as many are your followers. Your mind set is a problem If you are not ready to explore other K-pop group DON'T start a fan war just stick with your standard, BTS!
Views means nothing much in kpop these days. Because companies buy views and ads. Older kpop groups promoted before views and stream were a thing, so don't reflect their influence from views solely.
In order to understand the story in EXO's "Monster" MV, as well as all of EXO's content, you have to know that it's all connected, and every new piece that's introduced explains a little more of EXO's story. Each MV is like another chapter in SM Entertainment's SM Culture Universe storyline and it's all part of a larger story that also includes the majority of SM's other groups' and artists' storylines. It's like a giant graphic novel or mystery movie series. Everything EXO is involved in -- including all of their MVs, the majority of their sub-sub-unit MVs and several of the members' solo MVs, teaser videos, concert stages, concert VCRs (videos played in between sets at concerts) and choreography, as well as special content included with their albums, etc. -- is designed to help tell a little more of EXO's story. EXO debuted back in 2012, and from the very beginning their concept is that they are aliens from Planet Exo who have come to Earth with superpowers to protect the Tree of Life from the Red Forces. "Monster" was released in 2016, so there are 9 members in this MV. As the English lines in "Monster" say ... They're "Creeping, Creeping Creeping .... Creeping in your heart babe" "You can call me Monster (because) I'm creeping in your heart babe." "She got me goin' crazy." The song's called "Monster," so the words are about acting like a monster: "Don't be afraid, love is the way ... I'm sorry, you make me sooo craaaazzzy, you know you dooooo." Therefore, the floating watch and the car that is on fire in reverse, etc., I think -- on top of being a metaphor in the story -- also was supposed to be the members using their superpowers. And the snake, like a monster, mirrors the beat of the song, which kind of slithers like a snake as a metaphor for the way the guy slithers in and out of the relationship stealing warmth and affection from the girl, but in the end, leaving her cold and alone like a cold-blooded snake, etc. The snake is also red, which means that it most likely represents something to do with the Red Force.
However, if you look up the English translation of the lyrics -- as you have now seen in the live performance -- 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. Which could be a metaphor for EXO's connection to the heart of the Tree of Life. The woman in EXO's songs is often thought to be a metaphor and physical representation of the Tree of Life. That is why the members are always trying to save the girl or protect her, or they talk about being controlled by the power of the woman or they are worried about their passion destroying her, etc. It's EXO's job to protect the Tree of Life from the Red Force. EXO was sent to Earth on a mission to find the two halves of the tree and reunite them in order to restore peace in the world. The two halves of the tree -- EXO-K (Korean) represents one half and EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese) represents the other half -- were originally separated in order to keep the Red Force from gaining control. However, now, in order to fix all the things that are going wrong in the world, EXO needs to defeat the Red Force and find where the two halves of the tree have been hidden. Therefore, the story in "Monster" is all about EXO's origin story and about how they are trying to stop the Red Force from corrupting humanity, while also trying to find clues to where the Tree of Life is located. Also, the majority of the choreography for "Monster" has to do with the members using their powers, so when/if you watch the dance practice and/or a live performance, if you know what you are looking for, you will see that each move is done for a very specific reason. The X they make to represent EXO is only the beginning of the story in their choreography. For example, D.O. has the power of super strength, so during his part in the song and choreography we see that he waves his hands and the other members are pushed away from him or pulled toward him. When we 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 we see that each of the members pause as if frozen as he moves in front of them. We see Kai slide backward and forward into the center of the group while waving his arms to represent him teleporting. And when Chanyeol jumps over Lay, Sehun and Xiumin, this could be him using his phoenix fire wings to fly, or it could be showing him leaping over flames because he has the power to control fire. Sehun's superpower is the ability to control wind, so during his parts, we see the other members shuffle around him as if they are creating a windstorm. And at one point we see Baekhyun with his arms in the air when he is in the front of the group, which I think is him summoning the light and dark, etc. (Lay has the power of healing and Chen has the power of Thunder and Lightning, so I am sure their powers are also represented in the dance, however, I'm not sure the specific move.) And the part where they are sitting on the ground with their one knee in the air as they rotate 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 the prequel to "Monster," so when you watch their "Lotto" MV, just keep in mind that what you saw happen in "Monster" is what is going to take place after or in conjunction with the events in "Lotto". How "Monster" and "Lotto" tie into EXOs larger storyline is a little open ended, but because "Lotto" is thought to be the prequel to "Monster," I think the story starts out in "Lotto" where the members have somehow infiltrated this big gambling ring and are undercover as they work to uncover a clue or something they need in order to accomplish their tasks here on Earth. I think the underground gambling establishment is run by a gang of bad guys who are probably members of the Red Force. "Lotto" is where we are introduced to a girl who is being held captive. And ultimately, I think what EXO are trying to do is rescue the girl from the Red Force, but they are trying to do it without blowing their cover or being found out. So, that's why we see in "Lotto," and continued in "Monster," the members are fighting against the police because the police have come in to take down the gambling ring and rescue the girl, which is also what EXO are trying to do. However, the members of EXO don't want to be discovered, so they play along as if they are part of the bad guys. EXO are supposed to be going about their tasks here on Earth incognito, and humanity is never supposed to find out about EXO, so they are trying to keep a low profile. As we see in the end of "Monster," Baekhyun disguises himself as one of the police and helps the other members escape from the back of the police van before they are taken to jail and/or captured by the Red Force, etc. (However, if you look closely, the members who are in the back of the police van are dressed in red, so the ones who Baekhyun rescued may be X-EXO -- EXO's alter ego clones -- and not EXO like we originally thought. Although I'm not sure whether at this point Baekhyun realizes these aren't the EXO members. Or maybe Baekhyun is also a member of X-EXO. Just another giant mystery we have yet to solve.) We also see Lay, EXO's Chinese member, crouched in the middle of what looks like a pile of people -- I'm not sure whether these are the FBI agents, or if these are members of the Red Force -- and I think he is checking to make sure they are OK and possibly trying to use his power of healing to fix things and heal the injured. Because some theories believe that EXO are traveling between time periods and dimensions, I think in "Monster" they also might be showing how some of the members are arriving on scene at different moments in the timeline of events that are taking place in the MV -- the members don't necessarily arrive at the location together -- as explained in their Pathcode teaser videos leading up to their "Call Me Baby" comeback. For instance, in "Monster" we 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, 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 EXO's "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 we see them in the clothing with red accents, this might by showing X-EXO. At the time when "Monster" was first released, we had no idea about X-EXO's existence, but since "Obsession" -- which is one of EXO's more recent releases -- 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.
EXO is one of the most SUCCESSFUL groups, maybe not as popular as BTS but they're VERY successful it'd take me years for me to explain that to you who seems to compare groups. EXO is untouchable with their vocals as many comments have stated and that you can't and better not compare with other groups. They have some of the best dancers, BEST vocalists in the Kpop industry, and impressive rappers who can also SANG. Those rappers can even fill the spot of main vocalist in groups like BTS and Blackpink, TO SAY THE LEAST. EXO is a 9 member group who has been releasing music since 2011 and hold multiple records views and popularity just can't beat. They used to be 12 members until 3 members left, those 3 members being Chinese leaving only 1 remaining chinese member who is unable to promote with EXO but is still a part. 2 members are currently in the military so if you decide to watch their Killing Voice Performance or other recent performances there'll be members missing. All members are successful actors and solo artists. Baekhyun just beat his own record with his recent album selling millions of copies, once again. The other members also do well with their albums despite the lack of promotion. SM Entertainment, the company EXO and Aespa are in never really took the time to promote EXO well but they still managed to catch the hearts of many and hold the WORLD RECORD OF FASTEST SELLING CONCERT in 0.2 seconds. I hope you react to more EXO because it seems you genuinely enjoyed this song. AND BY THE WAY, EXO's networth is worth about $1 billion USD, just the lighting of the video that has others thinking otherwise. Their production is always top notch and they don't overdo the videos with crazy visuals like other groups do because they actually try to deliver a PERFORMANCE.
Vocal king of kpop.. thanks for reaction. I suggest u to react their live performance from their concert, or killing voice ,or bside from their fanmeeting. 😂😂
Suggestion...... "THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO EXO" by Pastel Kookies.. PASTEL KOOKIES. EXO are currently a 9- member group. With 8 Korean members and 1 Chinese member. Exo began with 12 members. 6 members, Exo-K sang in Korean, 6 members, Exo-M sang in Mandarin Chinese 3 Chinese members left in 2014-2015, which leaves the current 9. Exo's concept is that they are aliens from Exoplanet who come to Earth to protect humans, and each have a superpower. They run from and battle The Red Force, who cause all the chaos on Earth today....and The Red Force want to steal their powers to destroy life...Exo wants to protect and preserve life in the Universe. Good vs. Evil
I see "The Emperors of K - pop" I click ❤ I am a simple gurl who will click anything related to EXO Edit: yes, you judge too soon, I also wanna emphasized that it's not they dont have budget, all what is used in there from clothes to setting to lightings have to do eith the EXOPLANET KWANGYA so dont compare things because every kpop group have LORES. Funfact: EXO is the pioneer of kpop lore eith their EXOPLANET planned since 1970s but manifested on 2012.
I recommend Obsession next! EXO are active, but the members have been going through enlistment in the military for the past five years. The last two are in right now and will get out in 2025, when they should have a full comeback. Their last comeback was 2023 when they briefly had all eight currently active members together. Otherwise they’ve been doing solo albums and concerts.
Yea I have to say you spoke too soon a couple of times 😂 EXO are pretty up there when it comes to vocals. But I really recommend the song 'Tempo', it shows so much diversity within that song. And your boy that rapped (his name is Chanyeol, he can sing as well) I believe he will have black hair and blue contacts in 'Tempo' mv. Definitely a visual in the video. But you will also take big notice to Kai, which is another visual and is most of the time in the center. He is also really good friends with your boy Jimin. And the guy that has the very powerful vocals, his name is Chen. Hope you will check out 'Tempo' as well as the other amazing songs that are being suggested. EXO is a very talented group, you will like them.
How do you not know about EXO?! Lol. They literally perfeormed at the Olympics when the games were held in Korea! Haha. They have several subunits, and most of the members have their own solo albums (I dont think their maknae, Sehun, the other rapper, the one WITHOUT the red hair, has made his official debut as a soloist with his own album yet?) But all members kind of do a little bit of everything: dancing, singing, rapping, acting, original soundtracks, and most play instruments. If you really want to see something that will astound you right off the bat, check out their live cover of 'Sabor a Mi'! You can barely tell they aren't native Spanish speakers! Its INCREDIBLE, plus they have Chanyeol (the rapper with the red hair) on guitar, and it is just..... wow. Chanyeol also sings in the song as well. He once said in an interview that he didn't want people to think he is just a good-looking rapper who raps because he can't sing. He also plays guitar, piano, bass, drums, and writes and produces a lot of their music. They dont always have an "emo" vibe. Check out Baekhyun's or DO's solo albums if you want to hear some of their solo work while also getting that r&b flavor. (My personal favorite of all their solo works is Baekhyun's album Bambi and the MV for Bambi.) They've been around for a while now. They made their debut (along with a few pre-debut songs) with their song MAMA in 2012. They actually started out with TWELVE members. A few especially good songs, if you want to check out something with all 12 members, are 'Call Me Baby' and 'Overdose'. It makes me really sad to say that a lot of people might give you a hard time about being a BTS fan because, supposedly, there's this rivalry between the 2 groups. But actually they're very good friends. (Especially the main dancers of both groups, so I've heard them say in interviews.) Don't let anyone get to you with that kind of hate. I do hope, however, that you can appreciate EXO for who they are and their individual sound and story because all of these groups are very, very talented, and EXO are extraordinary. Even though they’ve been through a lot (which makes me sad as an EXO-L,) they are just as good now as ever. 😊 If you want a sampler of their songs, their 'Dingo Killing Voice' is a good starting place. 😊 I hope you keep exploring new music!
EXO..ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED GROUP AND VOCAL KINGS OF KPOP 👑. 8/9 MEMBERS HAVE SOLO ALBUMS. 6/9 ARE MUSICAL ACTORS 8/9 TV/ MOVIE ACTORS. GLOBAL LUXURY BRANDS AMBASADORS.. DIOR,GUCCI,PRADA, VALENTINO, BURBERRY.BVLGARI, CK..THEY CAN DO ANY GENRES! THAT'S WHY I CAN'T STAN OTHER GROUP COZ THEY HAVE IT ALL!! THEY'RE THE STANDARD.
Back then music videos were not as important as they are now, but even so Exo was one of the first groups to have storytelling and defined aesthetics, in fact BTS took as "inspiration" several things that originally came from Exo and really the grace of this group were the live performances, it is one of the few groups that I can say that they sound even better live than in the official audio so if you want to hear more of them I recommend you react to these presentations, the first is more for the hype and the second is more chill but with very good b-sides 😃 Exoplanet #4 the elyxion in Seoul| diamond+ coming over+run this+drop that+power ruclips.net/video/tmuUOALe5pc/видео.htmlsi=ezhkoSSrVArnp5_- 2024 exo fan meeting/ b-sides Medley ruclips.net/video/KINzWn7XMrI/видео.htmlsi=rME6lMSGTCI4Vae1
⚡️For the future, whenever you see it say ‘auto generated’ as your only option for cc, it means that it translates the Korean words to the closest sounding words that resemble English. So what you are reading is it’s ultimately hilarious at times gibberish. Not even closely in the slightest what the real translation of Korean words are. Auto generated is just what the Korean words resemble, sound like as close as possible English words. Just going by sound, nothing whatsoever to do with translation! 🤭🥴🧐😉😅🤣🤣🥰
(i recommended u to see *THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO EXO | group history, storyline, and member info* ...so u can know their concept,story,talent and their prestige.... and starting in the last few years, some members are no longer in the same company....so when they make a comeback, the goal is only to entertain fans...that's why there are rarely any big promotions for their new songs.... in the past, their budget was one of the highest in MV production (especially during their debut period...they became one of the kpop groups with best edited MVs, on their debut in 2012...) if u want to see how i see BTS (as EXO-L) u must see EXO and BTS old song and MV they so unique.....(its not feel the same again.....since BTS stop making hip-hop music...) Old ARMYs will definitely know the difference between BTS songs then and now...... i guess i like BTS (as hiphop group...but now they rarely make hiphop....) and i like EXO (as vocal group...now they still on vocal......)
Exo is a group that can be said to have no shortcomings in terms of vocals, rap, or visuals... Exo only lacks promotion from their agency. Sadly but tha's the truth 😢
If you appreciate vocals EXO will be your one and only. If you appreciate versatility in discography EXO will be your one and only. If you appreciate live vocals, EXO will be your number one.
Don’t compare EXO… but great reaction!! I’m glad you grew to it at the end. It took you a while to realize how good they are but that’s ok. They have so many songs and lives that are amazing and will genuinely shock you.
5:15 hellooooooo EXO have one of the biggest production in k-pop every come back from the very beginning )))))) U can watch so many staff from pro videographers/vocal coach/producers and u’ll see how big EXO r) Monster mv has absolutely amazing production. Even now. Eight years ago it was absolutely untouchable work for other groups. I’m glad u started reacting to EXO. Hope all those comments will not push u away from EXO. It’s really not great work to compare bts and exo cuz they r really different. Bts were build their carrier and music for western countries. And exo build the history in Asia. Do not compare them)))) And so they have absolutely different background in company. BigHit gave all money and attention to their the only group they have. And sm not even promote EXO normally. And they r still became THE Legends. I like bts. Aspeccialy their earlier albums. But for some reasons they didn't become my favorite band tho. I’m sure u’ll love exo if u began just watch without expectations and comparisons))))
EXO ARE "THEE VOCAL KINGS OF KPOP " LEGENDS. BTS GREW UP WATCHING EXO, BLACKPINK AND AESPA WERE STILL IN SCHOOL. BUT EXO ARE SINGERS, EVEN THE MAIN DANCERS AND RAPPERS ARE SINGERS.... Please don't compare these legends with Bts or any other groups....all kpop is fun and special for their reasons, and the variety is endless. Enjoy it all.
Emperor of Kpop is EXO title in 2024 of course King of vocal of Kpop is EXO for a reason. Why EXO not big at US because SM not promote them to US and Europe.. EXO best perfomance is live performance
Viewers in youtube you can buy (payola) but talent you won't.. all members can sing, even the rapper can sing. Red hair chanyeol can play gitar,piano, bass,drum. He songwriter, composer
thanks for reacting!! EXO never did any active promotions in the west, which explains why people new to kpop (post-2020) would think they're "less popular" than the groups they know who are actively trying to break into the western market these days. it's a completely fair assumption to make, don't worry, but it is far from the truth. they're insanely popular in the west, but probably less so among mainstream kpop fans if i make sense! to the rest of the world, EXO is known as the 'Kings of Kpop' and icons that started the globalization of Kpop, paving the way for groups who want to break into these markets. fyi, EXO is still an active group and haven't lost their global popularity, they've just been largely inactive in the 2020s because members have been busy serving their military service. while this is going on, other members are working on their solo music, which we all appreciate too.
The red hair is Park Chanyeol (the main rapper). He is also a vocalist. He plays all kinds of instruments and sometimes performs during concerts. He is multitalented. He wrote a lot of Exo songs. He released a recent album titled "Black out". Pls check it. Some of his songs: Blackout Good enough Four seasons Stay with me (most streamed OST, btw😊)
Thank you for reacting to exo😊 this group is really talented, and they actually had comeback early this year with the title song - cream soda. About comparing them to BTS please don't do it, it might make people angry about it since it's a sensitive topic. About BTS budget and high quality videos - they actually was a small company and so at the beginning they had less budget from sm (exo company), but since BTS became really successful they might have been re-uploading all BTS videos, unlike sm that started to do it but stopped short time after than. Anyway 2016 was an era when a lot of companies weren't aware how important lyrics on MV are, and so you'll find a lot of mv's without lyrics before 2018. Also the most watched exo mv is actually love shot and not monster but both are bops!
I also thought bts is the standard. Still they are my no. 1 fav. But if you compare bts to exo, it's the dumbest thing.😂 Exo are the kings man, they are just not that much popular thanks to their stupid company😢
I clicked the video because I see the word EXO so i got excited and I'm 50 seconds in I already stopped right there as I'm not sure if I would want to continue watching because I heard a group comparison which I know I wouldn't be happy hearing about. Is this a reaction channel? If so, just some advice to you, you need to learn to stop comparing the groups/artists you are watching because everyone has their own unique talents, everyone is different and has different stories etc. And if you are going to keep mentioning different groups in this video it's like a disrespect to EXO and EXO-L in my opinion, same goes to your other reaction video of different groups. If you want to deep dive and get to know a group you need to focus to them ONLY. You cannot judge early on specially if this is your first reaction to EXO. Get to know them well, stop comparing, do some research and I'm sure you will be amazed. I wish you good luck in your EXO Journey (only if you would like to listen to them again). Thanks!
Recommend EXO debut song Mama MV. Also the live performance is equally good. EXO debuted in 2012, a yr before BTS did. Also since they had one of the big 3 entertainment companies behind them, with all the connections & power, their debut was highly anticipated and successful. They were groomed for yrs before their debut, but nevertheless they indeed have amazing talent, and recommend reacting to, as well as other Kpop groups throughout the yrs, equally amazing & talented as well. Reacting to them as many other Kpop groups, you’ll be able to see comparatively the difference bt them as opposed to BTS also 3rd generation, came from a small company with no money nor connections, plus sang songs that also had deep meaningful, inspirational messages, so had plenty of hardships going against powerful companies and their groups, though they were all real good, close friends with each other, in spite of their fandoms not so much. Most importantly there was BigBang first, a huge inspiration to all these Kpop groups that came afterwards, who were 2nd generation came before . Both groups wrote most all their own songs, and had inspiring messages within their music, Seo Taji came before! 1st generation, and was equally political, spoke up as well, with equally uplifting, inspirational music. But still exo as well as other groups still all have amazing talent worth watching. ❤🔥🔥👍😍🤩✨
“BTS changed my standard for music.” EXO will change your standard for vocals.

Straight FACTS.....

Fun fact Exo actually beat out 1 Direction in the billboards for best boy band when 1 Direction was at their peak. That’s the influence and talent they have. Their concerts are the fastest sold out concerts with 0.2 seconds.
If you DON'T KNOW EXO, YOU DON'T KNOW KPOP.......
.
u don't know exo you spy😂(just kidding)
I'm here for EXO. If you're going to continue to compare with the view and popularity, that doesn't make sense. Because EXO's promotions are very limited. Even we want them to to do promotions here in western countries. This is group also a popular and very talented group. Even the rappers are good singers...."Vocal Kings" for a reason.
Facts
He has no idea what goes on chill down. It's natural to observe and compare different things from the beggining
👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Le venia a decir lo mismo 🤨,
Just one thing...Don't compare EXO with BTS... coz EXO is NOT typical kpop boy group you can see everywhere .... Literally holding the title as NATIONS PICK boy group ,The VOCAL KINGS of kpop , The EMPERORS of Kpop ....
The very FIRST kpop group to have an amazing concept with PERFECT STORYLINE ....
The total package ...
EXO all Nine members are complete Artists
Nine Actors ,Models ,successful solo artists
Their Company is SM entertainment they did not like to promote EXO in western countries ..
You can't never find any other group like EXO..... simply holding the guinness world records for the worlds fastest sold out concert in 2017 beating their own previous records in 2015... Till today its a record not any kpop group or international artist couldn't broke ..
The First kpop group who performed in olympics ...
You will amazed if u see their live performances ..specialy they known as better singing live with stable vocals ....
Hope you don't compare any of groups ..coz every group has their own charms ....its not worth for comparing or disgraced .... hope u can understand what mean.... popularity is not the always best .... but kpop is beyond BP, BTS .....
So dive deep ... if u like to enter the EXO rabbit hole so wishing you good luck for your journey .... you will NEVER disappoint with EXO ....coz as a fan they never fails to raise their standards high day by day...
Anyways thanks

for suuure…..this bts can never be in the same high calibre level of excellent EXO (vocals, discography, all around package, visuals, panache, etc.)….gosh

Melon has hailed EXO as the 'Emperor of K-pop! EXO are vocal kings!! 👍🏼 You will be amazed by EXO concert and live performance as their live vocals are even better than studio version 👏🏼
Other recommended songs Tempo, Love Shot, Obsession, Love me Right, Growl, MAMA (debut song) etc
EXO will change your vocals standards fr their live performances are even better
EXO's vocal quality is incomparable, their music, vocals, visuals and interpretation are on another level, it is not in vain that they are known as the vocal kings of K-pop, thank you very much for your reaction. More from EXO please, "Love Shot", "Miracles In December", "Tempo", "Cream Soda", "The Killing Voice". Thanks a lot! ✨✨✨
started K-pop with BTS but after finding EXO I stay with EXO
EXO, truly talented group with vocals, dancing, acting and entertainment skills
I think Big Bang and EXO are the two best groups that show the amazing skills of K-pop with different styles and live performances are on another level compared to BTS
If you are looking for HIGH QUALITY vocals, EXO is the standard.
When you want to see a high quality dance, watch EXO's live performance of Electric Kiss, Tempo, Monster, The Eve, Kokobop
since you're new to kpop, every group has a different image on every new album. EXO has a dark image on this album but they have different concepts. so they're not "emo" & please if you're going to dive into more kpop, listen & watch first before you say something. and remove being a bts bias when you watch new groups. yes, bts & blackpink made kpop popular but groups like EXO, BigBang, 2NE1, SHINee, TVXQ among others made the foundation of what kpop is today.
Well said
💯‼️
EXO rules the kpop industry before BTS got big. They are both third generation. EXO has never promoted beyond Asia. Has their agency promoted them properly they may have been huge as well (we will never know). They have a higher net worth than BTS or BP. Each member is extremely talented and successful. Definitely, do not compare groups. Each group is different and has different personalities, strengths and sounds. Go into the new videos with an open mind and leave your biases behind while listening to a new group.
You should stop comparing when you are reacting to a video.
Yea … he’s annoying
i feel so uncomfortable when watching this
Please don't compare Kpop bands as they all have their own style. There is a huge amount of talent in Kpop and it can't be defined by one group. Each fan group will tell you how their group has broken records. Having said that, EXO is one of the best, to me THE best. In my own biased opinion (as all opinions are) they contain the best dancer in Kpop, the best vocals as a whole group with their 3 main vocalist having talent beyond the reach of most others, one of the best rappers in the industry and performance levels that have to be seen to be believed. I am always confident and proud to say you can take your pick of any EXO track and not be disappointed.
no one is bigger than EXO and BIGBANG in kpop ,cus what you said BTS and some of new Black Pink is Pop not Kpop , witch yiu already have in USA and UK, EXO, BIGBANG, 2n1 are pure kpop
EXO is known as the Vocal Kings of Kpop!
When listening to them, listen to not only the front vocals, but also the vocal harmonies, ad-libs, runs and background vocals.
Exo's vocals can't be compared to anything ❤
When you start listening EXO there is no go back because their music singing dancing all are TOP
EXO are called VOCAL KINGS AKA EMPEROR of K-POP, KINGS OF LIVE PERFORMANCES, RNB KINGS, NATION'S PICK, VISUAL KINGS, ALL ROUNDER GROUP, WORLD CLASS PERFORMERS. They deliver quality and experience not just typical music. The three main vocalists of Exo are the best 3 male vocalists of the whole K-pop industry. And the two main dancers are among those best dancers who are known as dancing machines. You can't compare Exo to anyone. They're the best of the industry.
Louder
He judges too early 😂
The production is first rate! No small budgets. This is just the style SM entertainment uses
please not compare BTS with EXO. EXO are the next level^ bro
Please react to EXO Killing voice performance. It's a live performance where they sing snippets of their hit/famous songs live. It'll help you as an introduction to their style

I don’t think his music standards are high enough to appreciate EXO. He looks like he likes brainless high Produced autotune music fan.I wouldn’t suggest EXO's music knowing he Isn't open minded enough to shut the f up and listen the music before comparing the artist and shit talking about them
pleeeeaaase….NEVER compare EXO with over-rated bts;
they can never be in the same high-calibre excellence of EXO (vocals, discography, quality & range, all-around package, visuals, panache, etc.)….geez
Sorry, but you can't compare EXO to other groups. They are called The vocal kings , The Nation's Pick, and idols of idols . All of the K-pop industry takes EXO as a role model , like they are very big in SK , you should watch EXO killing voice, Mama , Monster Wollf live performance, EL dorado live performance , Obsession, Tempo ,
God, it's nice that you love so much other group and everything, but it would be much nice if you just focus on the group that you're reacting to, and judge them by who they are and by their own talent. Just a suggestion.
This aesthetic is really just for this video. They change their look fairly often to match the music, and they have a good amount of versatility in their genres. They're massive in Korea and Asia in general - you'll just see other groups more often because those groups actively promote in Western countries while EXO's agency has chosen not to do so (despite lots of fans in Europe and the Americas actively asking for it). If you continue to listen, you'll see the rappers are also excellent singers.
EXO is active, with their most recent release in 2023. But a couple of members are in the military, so they're just doing solo stuff in the meantime.
I recomment Tempo, Call Me Baby, and Obsession. Also their debut, Mama - I have no clue if it will be your style because it's super experimental and dramatic, but I think it highlights their *skill* and their creativity really well. I dunno many groups who were had bold debuts like that, so I think it says a lot about their ability.
Sir, if all youre going to do is come into a reaction with bias theres no reason to do the reaction. I'm telling you for your own good that you do not want to be comparing groups, let alone, EXO and BTS.
My EXO suggestions:
•B-Side Medley 2024 Fanmeet
•Killing Voice
•Eldorado, live
•Diamond+Coming Over+Run This+Drop That+Power, live
•Electric Kiss Dance Practice
•Cosmic Railway, live

"Actually your are too quick to judge"...and plz don't compare with other group and u definitely going to like exo they are amazing
There are no subtitles by SM before 2018 as EXO wasn't promoted in the west. They were only promoted in Asian Countries. Yes, they are a 9 member group, 8 Koreans and 1 Chinese. And they actually sound better in live performances. That's why i hate groups ike BTS. I only listen to actual vocalists. Since EXO is a vocal oriented group, this group is probably not for you. They are on hiatus since 2019 due to enlistment but they're active in solo projects. Their latest album is in 2023, Exist.
Hi i m an Exo L from Swisserland just to tell you that i agree whith all you said...Exo is not for everyone Exo is for people who knows how to listen music and vocal s...I hate when they compare them to others...They are unique they are home for me and i love and miss them so so much
Oh my God! The vocal Kings ❤❤❤
Mahalo for reacting to EXO and it’s ur channel and wat u say goes but bruh u can’t be judging a group or a singer in a middle of a song…it’s either u listen all the way or listen to 2 or 3 more songs then call it as u want….anyways I’m glad u like the song…mahalo again brada🥰🥰🥰
THEY ARE EVEN MUCH BETTER IN LIVE PERFORMANCE.
In terms of discography, EXO has so diversity and always include rap section in their songs, & here is how different EXO from other KPOP group, Chanyeol's & sehun's rap always unique & the flow follows EXO song's melody. Their musicality is not just heavy with instrumental only.
EXO are very talented, name any genre and you'll find an EXO song for it, maybe excpet for Opera but even that they can slay hahahhaa
But I think you will find a little bit of opera genre in MAMA (debut song), especially in intro
Many are here because of EXO as well as many are your followers. Your mind set is a problem If you are not ready to explore other K-pop group DON'T start a fan war just stick with your standard, BTS!
Actually no one can top EXO 🔥 🔥 🔥 no one comes close to exo’s discography even after all these years 👑 kings of kpop!
EXO discography are amazing 🔥
I hope you can listen to the whole album 😊
Thankyou for your reaction....
Views means nothing much in kpop these days. Because companies buy views and ads.
Older kpop groups promoted before views and stream were a thing, so don't reflect their influence from views solely.
Yea Nowadays people are so influenced by Views count which nowadays companies are buying them its not Organic Anymore😓. Just Enjoy the Music❤
💯‼️‼️
Exactly!!!
Exo is my ult group, if you get to know them more I feel like you are going to love them 💖 if you want to know anything like us know
Don't watch exo again please if you're gonna talk about other groups
In order to understand the story in EXO's "Monster" MV, as well as all of EXO's content, you have to know that it's all connected, and every new piece that's introduced explains a little more of EXO's story. Each MV is like another chapter in SM Entertainment's SM Culture Universe storyline and it's all part of a larger story that also includes the majority of SM's other groups' and artists' storylines. It's like a giant graphic novel or mystery movie series.
Everything EXO is involved in -- including all of their MVs, the majority of their sub-sub-unit MVs and several of the members' solo MVs, teaser videos, concert stages, concert VCRs (videos played in between sets at concerts) and choreography, as well as special content included with their albums, etc. -- is designed to help tell a little more of EXO's story.
EXO debuted back in 2012, and from the very beginning their concept is that they are aliens from Planet Exo who have come to Earth with superpowers to protect the Tree of Life from the Red Forces. "Monster" was released in 2016, so there are 9 members in this MV.
As the English lines in "Monster" say ... They're "Creeping, Creeping Creeping .... Creeping in your heart babe" "You can call me Monster (because) I'm creeping in your heart babe." "She got me goin' crazy." The song's called "Monster," so the words are about acting like a monster: "Don't be afraid, love is the way ... I'm sorry, you make me sooo craaaazzzy, you know you dooooo."
Therefore, the floating watch and the car that is on fire in reverse, etc., I think -- on top of being a metaphor in the story -- also was supposed to be the members using their superpowers. And the snake, like a monster, mirrors the beat of the song, which kind of slithers like a snake as a metaphor for the way the guy slithers in and out of the relationship stealing warmth and affection from the girl, but in the end, leaving her cold and alone like a cold-blooded snake, etc. The snake is also red, which means that it most likely represents something to do with the Red Force.
However, if you look up the English translation of the lyrics -- as you have now seen in the live performance -- 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. Which could be a metaphor for EXO's connection to the heart of the Tree of Life.
The woman in EXO's songs is often thought to be a metaphor and physical representation of the Tree of Life. That is why the members are always trying to save the girl or protect her, or they talk about being controlled by the power of the woman or they are worried about their passion destroying her, etc. It's EXO's job to protect the Tree of Life from the Red Force. EXO was sent to Earth on a mission to find the two halves of the tree and reunite them in order to restore peace in the world. The two halves of the tree -- EXO-K (Korean) represents one half and EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese) represents the other half -- were originally separated in order to keep the Red Force from gaining control. However, now, in order to fix all the things that are going wrong in the world, EXO needs to defeat the Red Force and find where the two halves of the tree have been hidden.
Therefore, the story in "Monster" is all about EXO's origin story and about how they are trying to stop the Red Force from corrupting humanity, while also trying to find clues to where the Tree of Life is located.
Also, the majority of the choreography for "Monster" has to do with the members using their powers, so when/if you watch the dance practice and/or a live performance, if you know what you are looking for, you will see that each move is done for a very specific reason. The X they make to represent EXO is only the beginning of the story in their choreography.
For example, D.O. has the power of super strength, so during his part in the song and choreography we see that he waves his hands and the other members are pushed away from him or pulled toward him. When we 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 we see that each of the members pause as if frozen as he moves in front of them. We see Kai slide backward and forward into the center of the group while waving his arms to represent him teleporting. And when Chanyeol jumps over Lay, Sehun and Xiumin, this could be him using his phoenix fire wings to fly, or it could be showing him leaping over flames because he has the power to control fire. Sehun's superpower is the ability to control wind, so during his parts, we see the other members shuffle around him as if they are creating a windstorm. And at one point we see Baekhyun with his arms in the air when he is in the front of the group, which I think is him summoning the light and dark, etc. (Lay has the power of healing and Chen has the power of Thunder and Lightning, so I am sure their powers are also represented in the dance, however, I'm not sure the specific move.) And the part where they are sitting on the ground with their one knee in the air as they rotate 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 the prequel to "Monster," so when you watch their "Lotto" MV, just keep in mind that what you saw happen in "Monster" is what is going to take place after or in conjunction with the events in "Lotto".
How "Monster" and "Lotto" tie into EXOs larger storyline is a little open ended, but because "Lotto" is thought to be the prequel to "Monster," I think the story starts out in "Lotto" where the members have somehow infiltrated this big gambling ring and are undercover as they work to uncover a clue or something they need in order to accomplish their tasks here on Earth. I think the underground gambling establishment is run by a gang of bad guys who are probably members of the Red Force.
"Lotto" is where we are introduced to a girl who is being held captive. And ultimately, I think what EXO are trying to do is rescue the girl from the Red Force, but they are trying to do it without blowing their cover or being found out. So, that's why we see in "Lotto," and continued in "Monster," the members are fighting against the police because the police have come in to take down the gambling ring and rescue the girl, which is also what EXO are trying to do. However, the members of EXO don't want to be discovered, so they play along as if they are part of the bad guys. EXO are supposed to be going about their tasks here on Earth incognito, and humanity is never supposed to find out about EXO, so they are trying to keep a low profile.
As we see in the end of "Monster," Baekhyun disguises himself as one of the police and helps the other members escape from the back of the police van before they are taken to jail and/or captured by the Red Force, etc. (However, if you look closely, the members who are in the back of the police van are dressed in red, so the ones who Baekhyun rescued may be X-EXO -- EXO's alter ego clones -- and not EXO like we originally thought. Although I'm not sure whether at this point Baekhyun realizes these aren't the EXO members. Or maybe Baekhyun is also a member of X-EXO. Just another giant mystery we have yet to solve.)
We also see Lay, EXO's Chinese member, crouched in the middle of what looks like a pile of people -- I'm not sure whether these are the FBI agents, or if these are members of the Red Force -- and I think he is checking to make sure they are OK and possibly trying to use his power of healing to fix things and heal the injured.
Because some theories believe that EXO are traveling between time periods and dimensions, I think in "Monster" they also might be showing how some of the members are arriving on scene at different moments in the timeline of events that are taking place in the MV -- the members don't necessarily arrive at the location together -- as explained in their Pathcode teaser videos leading up to their "Call Me Baby" comeback. For instance, in "Monster" we 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, 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 EXO's "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 we see them in the clothing with red accents, this might by showing X-EXO. At the time when "Monster" was first released, we had no idea about X-EXO's existence, but since "Obsession" -- which is one of EXO's more recent releases -- 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.
EXO is one of the most SUCCESSFUL groups, maybe not as popular as BTS but they're VERY successful it'd take me years for me to explain that to you who seems to compare groups.
EXO is untouchable with their vocals as many comments have stated and that you can't and better not compare with other groups. They have some of the best dancers, BEST vocalists in the Kpop industry, and impressive rappers who can also SANG. Those rappers can even fill the spot of main vocalist in groups like BTS and Blackpink, TO SAY THE LEAST.
EXO is a 9 member group who has been releasing music since 2011 and hold multiple records views and popularity just can't beat. They used to be 12 members until 3 members left, those 3 members being Chinese leaving only 1 remaining chinese member who is unable to promote with EXO but is still a part. 2 members are currently in the military so if you decide to watch their Killing Voice Performance or other recent performances there'll be members missing.
All members are successful actors and solo artists. Baekhyun just beat his own record with his recent album selling millions of copies, once again. The other members also do well with their albums despite the lack of promotion.
SM Entertainment, the company EXO and Aespa are in never really took the time to promote EXO well but they still managed to catch the hearts of many and hold the WORLD RECORD OF FASTEST SELLING CONCERT in 0.2 seconds.
I hope you react to more EXO because it seems you genuinely enjoyed this song.
AND BY THE WAY, EXO's networth is worth about $1 billion USD, just the lighting of the video that has others thinking otherwise. Their production is always top notch and they don't overdo the videos with crazy visuals like other groups do because they actually try to deliver a PERFORMANCE.
Vocal king of kpop.. thanks for reaction. I suggest u to react their live performance from their concert, or killing voice ,or bside from their fanmeeting. 😂😂
Suggestion......
"THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO EXO"
by Pastel Kookies..
PASTEL KOOKIES.
EXO are currently a 9- member group.
With 8 Korean members and 1 Chinese member.
Exo began with 12 members.
6 members, Exo-K sang in Korean,
6 members, Exo-M sang in Mandarin Chinese
3 Chinese members left in 2014-2015, which leaves the current 9.
Exo's concept is that they are aliens from Exoplanet who come to Earth to protect humans, and each have a superpower. They run from and battle The Red Force, who cause all the chaos on Earth today....and The Red Force want to steal their powers to destroy life...Exo wants to protect and preserve life in the Universe.
Good vs. Evil
😂😂😂 EXO is beyond K-pop. They have no competition. They are simply the best. The legends that are EXO
That's Chen with the high notes ( one of the 3 main vocalists of EXO) . Vocal kings of K-pop!
Nah you can't compare EXO to another group. 🤣
You'll definitely love their song "Obsession"
I see "The Emperors of K - pop" I click ❤ I am a simple gurl who will click anything related to EXO
Edit: yes, you judge too soon, I also wanna emphasized that it's not they dont have budget, all what is used in there from clothes to setting to lightings have to do eith the EXOPLANET KWANGYA so dont compare things because every kpop group have LORES.
Funfact: EXO is the pioneer of kpop lore eith their EXOPLANET planned since 1970s but manifested on 2012.
you need to party with exo the concert,look at this song DIAMOND,COMING OVER,RUN THIS,DROP THAT and POWER
Exo are the emperor of K-pop sextuple million seller
They came before bts and black pink btw.. they are still the most loved K-pop group. And Baekhyun piercings aren’t real lmao
I recommend Obsession next!
EXO are active, but the members have been going through enlistment in the military for the past five years. The last two are in right now and will get out in 2025, when they should have a full comeback. Their last comeback was 2023 when they briefly had all eight currently active members together. Otherwise they’ve been doing solo albums and concerts.
Kpop Vocal kings ❣️ I'm here for it.....
Exo is really good
Highly recommend EXO obsession for the next reaction. It's my favorite EXO title track & quite popular now.
Yea I have to say you spoke too soon a couple of times 😂 EXO are pretty up there when it comes to vocals. But I really recommend the song 'Tempo', it shows so much diversity within that song. And your boy that rapped (his name is Chanyeol, he can sing as well) I believe he will have black hair and blue contacts in 'Tempo' mv. Definitely a visual in the video. But you will also take big notice to Kai, which is another visual and is most of the time in the center. He is also really good friends with your boy Jimin. And the guy that has the very powerful vocals, his name is Chen. Hope you will check out 'Tempo' as well as the other amazing songs that are being suggested. EXO is a very talented group, you will like them.
Emperor of Kpop ❤❤EXO❤❤
Exo is kings
How do you not know about EXO?! Lol. They literally perfeormed at the Olympics when the games were held in Korea! Haha. They have several subunits, and most of the members have their own solo albums (I dont think their maknae, Sehun, the other rapper, the one WITHOUT the red hair, has made his official debut as a soloist with his own album yet?) But all members kind of do a little bit of everything: dancing, singing, rapping, acting, original soundtracks, and most play instruments. If you really want to see something that will astound you right off the bat, check out their live cover of 'Sabor a Mi'! You can barely tell they aren't native Spanish speakers! Its INCREDIBLE, plus they have Chanyeol (the rapper with the red hair) on guitar, and it is just..... wow. Chanyeol also sings in the song as well. He once said in an interview that he didn't want people to think he is just a good-looking rapper who raps because he can't sing. He also plays guitar, piano, bass, drums, and writes and produces a lot of their music.
They dont always have an "emo" vibe. Check out Baekhyun's or DO's solo albums if you want to hear some of their solo work while also getting that r&b flavor. (My personal favorite of all their solo works is Baekhyun's album Bambi and the MV for Bambi.) They've been around for a while now. They made their debut (along with a few pre-debut songs) with their song MAMA in 2012. They actually started out with TWELVE members. A few especially good songs, if you want to check out something with all 12 members, are 'Call Me Baby' and 'Overdose'.
It makes me really sad to say that a lot of people might give you a hard time about being a BTS fan because, supposedly, there's this rivalry between the 2 groups. But actually they're very good friends. (Especially the main dancers of both groups, so I've heard them say in interviews.) Don't let anyone get to you with that kind of hate. I do hope, however, that you can appreciate EXO for who they are and their individual sound and story because all of these groups are very, very talented, and EXO are extraordinary. Even though they’ve been through a lot (which makes me sad as an EXO-L,) they are just as good now as ever. 😊
If you want a sampler of their songs, their 'Dingo Killing Voice' is a good starting place. 😊 I hope you keep exploring new music!
My exo is the best of the best. Periodt

Don't compare with BTS bcz EXO all time on fire ❤️🤗.
BTS popular but EXO talented ❤️💯
EXO, best boy group, ever
Back then music videos were not as important as they are now, but even so Exo was one of the first groups to have storytelling and defined aesthetics, in fact BTS took as "inspiration" several things that originally came from Exo and really the grace of this group were the live performances, it is one of the few groups that I can say that they sound even better live than in the official audio
so if you want to hear more of them I recommend you react to these presentations, the first is more for the hype and the second is more chill but with very good b-sides 😃

Waiting exo live performance reaction bro
⚡️For the future, whenever you see it say ‘auto generated’ as your only option for cc, it means that it translates the Korean words to the closest sounding words that resemble English. So what you are reading is it’s ultimately hilarious at times gibberish. Not even closely in the slightest what the real translation of Korean words are. Auto generated is just what the Korean words resemble, sound like as close as possible English words. Just going by sound, nothing whatsoever to do with translation! 🤭🥴🧐😉😅🤣🤣🥰
(i recommended u to see *THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO EXO | group history, storyline, and member info* ...so u can know their concept,story,talent and their prestige....
and starting in the last few years, some members are no longer in the same company....so when they make a comeback, the goal is only to entertain fans...that's why there are rarely any big promotions for their new songs....
in the past, their budget was one of the highest in MV production (especially during their debut period...they became one of the kpop groups with best edited MVs, on their debut in 2012...)
if u want to see how i see BTS (as EXO-L) u must see EXO and BTS old song and MV they so unique.....(its not feel the same again.....since BTS stop making hip-hop music...)
Old ARMYs will definitely know the difference between BTS songs then and now......
i guess i like BTS (as hiphop group...but now they rarely make hiphop....) and i like EXO (as vocal group...now they still on vocal......)
Exo is a group that can be said to have no shortcomings in terms of vocals, rap, or visuals... Exo only lacks promotion from their agency. Sadly but tha's the truth 😢
If you appreciate vocals EXO will be your one and only. If you appreciate versatility in discography EXO will be your one and only. If you appreciate live vocals, EXO will be your number one.
Don’t compare EXO… but great reaction!! I’m glad you grew to it at the end. It took you a while to realize how good they are but that’s ok. They have so many songs and lives that are amazing and will genuinely shock you.
It’s always and forever EXO for me
EXO! The vocal Kings!
Literally my FAV ❤❤
5:15 hellooooooo
EXO have one of the biggest production in k-pop every come back from the very beginning ))))))
U can watch so many staff from pro videographers/vocal coach/producers and u’ll see how big EXO r)
Monster mv has absolutely amazing production. Even now. Eight years ago it was absolutely untouchable work for other groups.
I’m glad u started reacting to EXO. Hope all those comments will not push u away from EXO.
It’s really not great work to compare bts and exo cuz they r really different. Bts were build their carrier and music for western countries. And exo build the history in Asia. Do not compare them))))
And so they have absolutely different background in company. BigHit gave all money and attention to their the only group they have. And sm not even promote EXO normally. And they r still became THE Legends.
I like bts. Aspeccialy their earlier albums. But for some reasons they didn't become my favorite band tho.
I’m sure u’ll love exo if u began just watch without expectations and comparisons))))
EXO ARE "THEE VOCAL KINGS OF KPOP "
LEGENDS.
BTS GREW UP WATCHING EXO, BLACKPINK AND AESPA WERE STILL IN SCHOOL.
BUT EXO ARE SINGERS, EVEN THE MAIN DANCERS AND RAPPERS ARE SINGERS....
Please don't compare these legends with Bts or any other groups....all kpop is fun and special for their reasons, and the variety is endless. Enjoy it all.
“BTS changed my standard for music.” lol
たとえ彼らの声が悪くても、音楽の基準を変えることができる 😂
oh sweetie exo standard is higher. exo is on whole different level. they don't succumb to kpop generics. so underrated.
Emperor of Kpop is EXO title in 2024 of course King of vocal of Kpop is EXO for a reason. Why EXO not big at US because SM not promote them to US and Europe.. EXO best perfomance is live performance
Viewers in youtube you can buy (payola) but talent you won't.. all members can sing, even the rapper can sing. Red hair chanyeol can play gitar,piano, bass,drum. He songwriter, composer
Thankyou for reacting EXO
You have to watch TEMPO by exo
thanks for reacting!! EXO never did any active promotions in the west, which explains why people new to kpop (post-2020) would think they're "less popular" than the groups they know who are actively trying to break into the western market these days. it's a completely fair assumption to make, don't worry, but it is far from the truth. they're insanely popular in the west, but probably less so among mainstream kpop fans if i make sense! to the rest of the world, EXO is known as the 'Kings of Kpop' and icons that started the globalization of Kpop, paving the way for groups who want to break into these markets.
fyi, EXO is still an active group and haven't lost their global popularity, they've just been largely inactive in the 2020s because members have been busy serving their military service. while this is going on, other members are working on their solo music, which we all appreciate too.
The red hair is Park Chanyeol (the main rapper).
He is also a vocalist. He plays all kinds of instruments and sometimes performs during concerts. He is multitalented. He wrote a lot of Exo songs.
He released a recent album titled "Black out". Pls check it.
Some of his songs:
Blackout
Good enough
Four seasons
Stay with me (most streamed OST, btw😊)
Thank you for reacting to exo😊 this group is really talented, and they actually had comeback early this year with the title song - cream soda. About comparing them to BTS please don't do it, it might make people angry about it since it's a sensitive topic. About BTS budget and high quality videos - they actually was a small company and so at the beginning they had less budget from sm (exo company), but since BTS became really successful they might have been re-uploading all BTS videos, unlike sm that started to do it but stopped short time after than. Anyway 2016 was an era when a lot of companies weren't aware how important lyrics on MV are, and so you'll find a lot of mv's without lyrics before 2018. Also the most watched exo mv is actually love shot and not monster but both are bops!
I also thought bts is the standard. Still they are my no. 1 fav. But if you compare bts to exo, it's the dumbest thing.😂 Exo are the kings man, they are just not that much popular thanks to their stupid company😢
You late man, welcome to the king of k pop😂😂🎉EXO you still have a long way to go with them
I clicked the video because I see the word EXO so i got excited and I'm 50 seconds in I already stopped right there as I'm not sure if I would want to continue watching because I heard a group comparison which I know I wouldn't be happy hearing about. Is this a reaction channel? If so, just some advice to you, you need to learn to stop comparing the groups/artists you are watching because everyone has their own unique talents, everyone is different and has different stories etc. And if you are going to keep mentioning different groups in this video it's like a disrespect to EXO and EXO-L in my opinion, same goes to your other reaction video of different groups. If you want to deep dive and get to know a group you need to focus to them ONLY. You cannot judge early on specially if this is your first reaction to EXO. Get to know them well, stop comparing, do some research and I'm sure you will be amazed. I wish you good luck in your EXO Journey (only if you would like to listen to them again). Thanks!
vocal kings 😍💥
I’ll teach you exo dw
5:16 we have a running gag in the fandom where their company loves giving them minimalism cause the production 😢
SM to EXO = minimalism
@@nailahulya But Monster was not a low Budget MV, This guy know nothing about MV and music production .
EXO is kpop Emperor
Recommend EXO debut song Mama MV. Also the live performance is equally good. EXO debuted in 2012, a yr before BTS did. Also since they had one of the big 3 entertainment companies behind them, with all the connections & power, their debut was highly anticipated and successful. They were groomed for yrs before their debut, but nevertheless they indeed have amazing talent, and recommend reacting to, as well as other Kpop groups throughout the yrs, equally amazing & talented as well. Reacting to them as many other Kpop groups, you’ll be able to see comparatively the difference bt them as opposed to BTS also 3rd generation, came from a small company with no money nor connections, plus sang songs that also had deep meaningful, inspirational messages, so had plenty of hardships going against powerful companies and their groups, though they were all real good, close friends with each other, in spite of their fandoms not so much. Most importantly there was BigBang first, a huge inspiration to all these Kpop groups that came afterwards, who were 2nd generation came before . Both groups wrote most all their own songs, and had inspiring messages within their music, Seo Taji came before! 1st generation, and was equally political, spoke up as well, with equally uplifting, inspirational music. But still exo as well as other groups still all have amazing talent worth watching. ❤🔥🔥👍😍🤩✨
Exo changed my life
