I know a lot of fans prefer it when kpop groups being interviewed in general are super playful and hyped up, but I personally like these laid back, intimate type of interviews where the members really speak from their hearts. It almost seems like a reflection of what they mean by being able to express themselves much more comfortably now having been in the kpop industry for 8 years. And I really do admire EXO for being so open about wishing to continue as an artist whilst finding their own individual happiness, because let's be honest, this is something that a big bulk of kpop fandoms forget (particularly that of the Korean fanbase as we're seeing now with recent news). Thank you for this interview!
I feel so lucky that I can read and understand all the comments posted here. As a Korean, I just want to tell all the international fans that there are a lot of fans in Korea that agree with all of you. I really felt that all the EXO members were anxious about the perfect storm that was about to come and tried to send a message to their fans that 'WE ARE ONE' during their last concert in Korea. After seeing this interview, I was convinced that they were trying to send this message again indirectly. I noticed that Baekhyun was trying to give his support to Chen by holding/stroking (around 29min) him which warmed my heart instantly. I just hope that the fans who are trying to pressure Chen to quit being EXO, listen to Sehun and realize how important each and every member is to EXO. 엑소 힘내. 다음 무대 기대하고 있을께.
you just made me feel bad for judging all korean fans thinking that they are all the same and not sot supporting Jongdae, it's great to see korean fans like you
10:43 Kai talking about the members wanting to achieve happiness while being an artist. Look at Chen's smile at the back. He deserves to be happy. They all deserve to be happy!! 🤗 #WithChen
baek'ᄉ' hyun ikr, the last time interview was chaos. Baekhyun with his noisy mouth but here we can see them as an adult 🥺 ohh god! They're so matured now
But this interview has more of an anxious air to it. Like they are worried or not truly there. Both interviews are good but rather prefer chaotic EXO to this EXO because they were clearly troubled because of Chen's upcoming news.
@@najebravo7083 yeah, because the last girl, (omg i love ellie lee, the girl who was interviewing them before) she brought more of a chaotic air to it but this girl was much more chill
"Your happiness is our happiness." This should be every fan's mindset. We don't own our idols, they should never be limited to only doing what the fans want. They've given us the best years of their lives and we should be thankful for that. Uri Jongdae, as much as I teared up when I heard the news, please know that I still support and love you wholeheartedly. You're going to become a great dad and I admire your courage to man up and tell everyone yourself despite the imminent backlash. Do not mind the negative comments because a loooot of people still believe and support you. Stay with EXO for a long, loooong time. True EXO-Ls have your back, always. ❤️
True. The amount of happiness I felt in that momemt when I read the news is uncompareable. I actually have been waiting for any of my idols whether it's EXO or any other group to get married and start a family. So this news was all I needed. I finally get to become a Grandmother at 14😁 Love you Chen and EXO❤
I really don't understand their mindset. Why do they think that their idols belong to them. They make it sound like chen is a young teenage boy who does not know what he is doing. Last time I checked he was nearing his 30's and from what I know that is what you call a grown man. They are not true fans if they think that he should leave the group. Why does he need to leave just because he found someone to love that isn't one of his so called fan. I truly wish him and his family all the best and I hope he knows that he has fans that supports him.
“Rather than focusing on scores, we just want to continue as artists and being happy” -> let the guys have their private life while continuing to support them as artists!❤️🥰
is it just me who noticed how the MC [STACY NAM] is so well informed abt their stuff like the kai's IG live and having two accounts nd all , mannn i love it when ppl respect my boys like this,knowing abt em nd then interviewing them,all hail IHEART RADIO for quality EXO content. THANK u ELLIE LEE ND STACY NAM for letting our boys have fun
Right? Good MC should have this skill, so it wont be like they just read it from the text. N it also shows that u respect the guest n make the interview more fun to watch
She did this was taemin as well. It was like an hour long interview where they sat down in a restaurant and she seemed well informed about him and asked a lot of good questions
When I see the maknae line- Kai and Sehun- speaking up and protecting their hyungs, I cry. My babies have grown up to be such fine men. EXO and EXO-Ls forever !
A real vacation out of cameras and all. Send them to their families,homes or anywhere they want Let them be free for few months and come back as fresh as they can 💖💖💖💖
I can't believe people are calling this interview "dull". I love this interview so much. It's my favourite interview EXO has ever done, excluding the fact that not all members are here. It's so real and down-to-earth. Discusses the "real" topics without getting off track to EXO's concepts. Have you ever wondered why this interview was done also in English? EXO went on both Korean and English speaking platforms (radio talk) to give us these insights. These words are coming straight from their hearts and I appreciate them for opening up like this. If you can't stand this level of maturity then maybe this fandom isn't for you. All I know is I stan the right group.
ikr even i think this was such a wholesome interview and their words came from their hearts.I think as an exol we get a good insight on how they have changed since their debut and have found their way to happiness.
@@poorvalele9761 i agree with you too. Its absolutely childish to think that grown men of age 25-30 would be focused on making an interview 'fun'. They are respectable artists who have now become senior artists in the industry. They have given enough 'fun' interviews in the early days and still are 'fun ' during promotions,reality shows. Honestly,as a fandom ,we should grow mature too. I have spent my teenage years with them and I want to spend my adulthood with them too.
"I think of the hapiness of our fans"- Jongdae. Then why can't we think of his hapiness too ,as a fandom? Please only send positive vibes for him and his new family. Edit: I know most of the backlash is from Kerries,but I want to believe there are still some of them who support Chen. I dont want to put the blame on a single section of fans. As Jongdae has always remained positive,I want to have some hope too. I hope the whole fandom rises to support Chen wholeheartedly.
I saw some KExols on Lysn spreading hate comments to Chen.They even say that it's their right because they are "ACE" and not basic..Delusionals to highest levels.Tsk!!!
@@anishilanidelmonte9233 what kind of nonsense are they doing. They are very possessive . We love them so we have to support them. He is just going to marry but they behave like he done some kind of crime.
"We want to be happy as a group" They have been preparing us for the news all along. They are so thoughtful. Time and again,always thinking about the fans outlook,how we are going to react. WE LOVE YOU BOYS!!! DONT WORRY WE LL ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU WHETHER AS EXO OR AS HUMAN BEINGS.
When their contract expires in 2022, Suho said that whatever decision they make (whether staying with sm or creating a new label or joining other agency) they will stick together as a group, that means more years with them!! EXO-L, LET’S WAIT FOR THEM OKAY?? EXO IS NINE!! EXO OT9!!
The "we are family" vibes were so strong in this interview! You can see that they really reached a level where they are no longer trying to have that "perfect untouchable idol attitude" but rather show the deep human side of them. I think this is the message they want to give to EXO-Ls. Unfortunately, not all the EXO-Ls understand this message and it's heartbreaking to see how many suddenly went against Chen just because he is just trying to be happy, just like any other human being. Although I haven't been an EXO-L for a very long time, I fully support them and want them to have a happy life. #EXOweareone #EXOsaranghaja
The netizens thought they could control his life. A lot of support from international fans overpowered theirs and thankfully it ranked the no1 search globally 💃💃 they wanted to brag about the money they spend on exo but then unfortunately for them and fortunately for us most of the incomes come from international fans. I just can't believe this how would you want to control someone life and happiness and yet want to live your own life tchwwww
@weareoneEXO 언제나 응원하는 거 알죠? 항상 나에게 폭풍 후 무지개가 되어 줘서 고맙습니다. 너는 열심히 일했다 난 항상 응원 할게요 다 잘 될거야! #chen #CHENgettingmarried #Congratulations_chen 🎉 #사랑해요 @weareoneEXO
@@blackceena I read somewhere that they started selling their Chen albums and merch on used items sites. I mean this is just insane. EXO is not here to devote their lives to EXO Ls and not have a private life. EXO Ls should just love them and be grateful for all the wonderful music and moments they received over the years from them and not try to control and ruin their private life. Hopefully the support from our side of EXO-Ls will keep them strong. #EXOweareone
This was filmed in December, but I believe 2019 was a year of great change for them, mentally and emotionally. These ideas and concepts they talked about in the interview don’t sound like they are scripted. They must have been discussing these topics among themselves for a while: personal happiness, honesty, friendship (EXO and EXO L), bonding as a family, and they seem more introspective and mature since EXO’s Ladder reality show. They also talked about these things when Xiumin held his party, before enlisting. D.O. and Xiumin left for a while, and soon the others will follow, and they know they need to be strong, and trust each other. The storms will rage, but will pass eventually. They know this first hand because hardship hit EXO hard many times before, and they overcame everything with hard work. Baekhyun said at JYP’s show that he trusted EXO L to help and support them through tough times. Let’s not betray his trust, just like their best friends would do.
That's a very through statement. I feel the same as Exo grown a lot along the hall of fame. They feel like a deeply bonded while individually self aware. Like they still care very much about the fans but their wished comes first. In this interview they are confident, relaxed, true, and sincere. I love them more.
This group don't deserved the hates, the criticism and such. They are also human. Exo and exo-l have been experienced so many difficulties, problem, trials. Losing 3 members, 1 inactive that some people excluded him from exo, dating issue (kai), chen's having a family (that they also wanted him to out of exo). And 3 members is in military. We always experienced being robbed by some polls, award shows. That ''some of exo-l tired'' of being like that. So they leave us. Because of these trials we make us weak but exo gives us strength to fight and we become stronger. EXO'S MOTIVATION IS EXO-L and EXO-L'S MOTIVATION IS EXO. Exo and exo-l are not IDOL and Fans relationship BUT IS A FAMILY. I'm happy that I belong to this fam. And I'm proud of it. ❤❤❤
10:43 “as a group, what we want now, to be honest, is for us to all be happy while continuing as artists. continuing together happily with our fans is our dream.” jongin says that this is what they want. achieving personal happiness and continuing as artists are not mutually exclusive to exo, so it shouldn’t be for us fans either. here’s to more years of happiness for all 9 members of exo
YES TRUE!!! EXO IS NINE INCLUDING LAY COZ ZHANG YIXING INTRODUCE HIMSELF AS “EXO LAY” AND THAT HE LOVES HIS BROTHERS.😌 LAY STILL HAS A CONTACT WITH THE MEMBERS BECAUSE HE IS STILL PART OF EXO AND NOBODY CAN ALTER THAT EXO IS NINE AND THAT NINE IS EXO AND THAT EACH OF THEM SUPPORTS EACH OTHER.😍 I AM SO SORRY THAT I ALWAYS TALK ABOUT LAY STILL A MEMBER OF EXO BECAUSE IT IS WORTH REPEATING FOR AND THAT EXO IS NINE NOT EIGHT NOT SEVEN NOT SIX AND THEY ARE ONE!!! IN CONCLUSION, LAY IS STILL PART OF EXO AND THAT EXO IS NINE AND NOBODY CAN STOP THEM NOR INTIMIDATE THEM😋 XOXO❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️(9 HEARTS FOR THE HATERS HEHE)
Watching this again months after Chen's announcement, I was able to understand the members' anxiety while conducting this interview. The look on Chen's eyes, the sincerity of their words, the fear on Suho's voice, as if they were afraid they were about to lose us. When I first watched this, I thought they were just so stressed and drained out, but now I totally realize it all. After all of these, I am more than proud I stayed. Baekhyun said Chen is an angel, I agreed with him them, I agree with him now. They're the most precious gem we were able to find, and we feel the same toward us, no matter what, let us not lose each other.
During Suho's ending speech, of all of them Jongdae never once broke eye contact with the camera. They all seem not quite themselves, Chanyeol seems a bit spaced out and Suho and Chen look anxious, they all knew about the oncoming storm. The release of this interview was perfectly timed. What a great way to emphasise their humanity as well as their love for their work and fans. Amazing interview, thankyou Stacy. EXO's happiness is my happiness. 사랑하자
i didn't realize that until i read your comment and it really squeezed my heart... i hope he knows that the majority supports him and wish for his happiness
10:46 they are so supportive with Chen, you can see Sehun slightly leaning on him + and Kai saying that they want to be individually happy but together, you can see how happy he looks knowing that all his members support his choice. And the way Chen smiles ;; we are so happy for you Jongdae!
This was probably my favourite Korean idol interview ever. Like they're humans and they spoke like humans, not acting weird or super giddy to make it 'funny' but being themselves and talking about things that matter. Loved the interviewer, great questions. It feels like such a journey knowing these boys it's beautiful
I know right? Some people see it as dull though, but I think just like you, they seem more human and honest to themselves. I hope they're given a break. "Exo needs vacation"
In all honesty? This interview is my favorite. I feel like I really got to know them a little better and it just felt so sincere and warm. It suprised me a little that they spoke up about wanting to be happy and making their happiness their first priority. It just gives me the feeling that they've been around for so long and have grown into their roles and matured to a point where they seem at peace with things and don't need to stress themselves that much anymore. It made so happy to hear that. Especially in light on Chen's marriage and parenthood I think this was their way to tell everyone that they're okay with it and that they support him and that his personal happiness is a priority to them. I am genuinely touched by this.
Among the other interviews that Exo had done during 2019, this definitely my most favorite one. They seemed so calm, mature, and I like how this interview feels like it’s not about how’s your life as an Exo member but about themselves as a person in life. May the current situation would not change anything from how they present themselves in front of exo-ls and the others.
u can see how much baekhyun has really matured in this interview. i’m not sure if it’s bc he was superM’s leader so he understands how suho feels now but Baekhyun naturally answered most of the questions and even finished the interviewer’s question. compared to prior interviews when he would play with things in his hands or constantly yell “come on man!”
The whole mood of this interview was suitable for his mature / serious side which was always there actually as a way of thinking and understanding people and life :)
This didn’t even feel like an interview. It felt like a conversation with this super Successful world wide group about where they’ve been and where they are going. This was one of the best Kpop interviews I’ve seen in a while. We really got to see how grown and secure the Exos have become. I really hope fans will allow them to be happy and take new paths in their lives It’s crazy to have watched them grown into the men that they are today. I’m super emotional but Thank you for this amazing video Stacy and Iheart.
Jongin in this interview was very game in answering questions. He is usually very shy, so this is all new to us. He is a man full of wisdom and I love it when he speaks his mind ^^ Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us my love. I'm so proud of what you've become and achieved. My light and love. My heart and soul. I love you so much 우리 종인이 ㅜㅜ
Actually I searched his mbti on the internet and he is an INFJ, the rarest personality type. Those are the ones with powerful intuition and philosophical thoughts. Even in his profile, it was written that he thinks a lot about philosophical topics such as why he was born, what would he do if he weren't a part of exo today, how he has slowly adjusted his thoughts and beliefs to other people's point of views etc. I don't know how much of that is actually true, but looking at this interview, it seems that atleast some of it is.
Honestly I'm not even a fan but I stayed the whole 31 mins cause it didn't even felt like an interview, it was more of a conversation and that's so refreshing to see especially with kpop groups
8:41 *"i enjoy dancing with Sehun so much. But we haven't had the chance to show this as much."* SM YOU HEAR THAT? YOU BETTER PUT MORE DANCE BREAKS LIKE THAT IN THE FUTURE
10:31 Every single EXOL needs to see that EXO doesn't care about awards anymore, they only want to make music for us and be happy as a group So yes that includes CHEN and LAY
"personal space and life outside of an artist?" EXO: silence I don't know if anyone noticed or we simply decided to ignore their blank faces and the fact that they still can not openly talk about personal space and life as normal humans is making me cry. Baekhyun really took one for the team there by giving a diplomat answer and changing the subject kind of. Could lose their innocent image? lose delusional fans? lose popularity? but then again if they were to keep all those but on the expense of what? Their happiness for sure, which those antis don't seem to care at all. I swear if ot9 breaks, I'm out.
I agree with you! I am waiting for the moment when they feel they can talk if they want about their life. F.example Chen being a dad! I would love listening his stories about being dad.
This whole interview makes EXO more and more special for me. We all should now strongly protect our nine gems. EXO has actually protected us all this time and always loved us. Now, we should stand by them through thick and thin, love them and protect them from fake fans and toxic people. I'll always love you EXO and support all of you. My OT9! EXO Saranghaja!
I became their fan during this quarantine .still learning about them but I just hope that we all remember that they r humans too. I just want them to do what they want .find d love of their life get married have happy children and always be a part of exo. They love their fans too much that they feel guilty or uncomfortable to do what they naturally want to afraid that they might disappoint d fans. I just hope that all of us together can love, support them and make them stronger.
I'm 36 and just found out about exo during quarantine also lol It's a lot of information to process since I only barely knew Growl. As a light fan, I totally understand/support Chen getting married and forming a family but I also understand the opposite sentiment..! "Real" Exo L's need to buy concert ticket almost like registering for a popular class at college because they sell out in a minute or so & they each buy at least 10 copies of albums to collect different versions of photos. Of course they know they can't be Chen's real wife but they do dwell on that fantasy (and spend lots of money). Chen also lied when people speculated that they are getting married because she's pregnant (and 7 month later they had a baby lol) SM predecessor TVSQ's Changmin got married recently and did not get criticized because he was age 32 and TVSQ was well past their prime. Chen is only 27 & many members still active as Exo. So yea it's little bit more complicated than just being jealous of that lucky woman ^.^);; Correct me if I am wrong, I just recently became a fan
I came to Stan EXO during quarantine as well.. It's such a bitter sweet experience to go through their past content, thinking why I didn't find out about them sooner.. but still love seeing them boys together!
@@hey-diddlediddle chen never lied to us. in fact he has constantly been telling us that he wants to treat us like his friends many many times and just cause some 'fans' have been doing this till now does not been it has to stay this way. what is wrong is wrong and need to to changed
They worked non stop for almost 9 years chasing the “dream”. They are all be like an empty shell of they do not find their own happiness and peace as a person.
Yep, many idols (snsd is one of the most memorable ones for me) have talked about this particular issue. They need to find a different side of themselves besides being and idol so they don’t feel empty or lonely
I agree! As much as their career stems from their passion for music, it’s still work and like most people, you can’t base your whole life around work (even if you like your job!). You need to develop and cherish other aspects in your life to feel healthy and happy. So I just wish for more fans to understand that and let them breathe and live freely.
I feel like this comment section is how EXO-L is truly supposed to be. No fights with other fandoms, no antis, solo stans, ot7 or ot8 stans; just us expressing our love for the boys. Thank you
notice how when the host asked them to share a good memory of a member, each of them shared a personal memory instead of something from concerts or public events? this shows how the little thing counts and how they r brothers even when not in the spotlight. lets continue to support them and lets all love for a long time
Antis are always like "exo flop, they don't get awards blah blah". See, EXO are way past the need of awards to validate them. They are true artists, true idols. Awards can give you a sense of pride temporarily, sure, but real happiness can only come from within and only when you are at peace with what you are doing as an artist. Thank you, EXO for everything. You continue to inspire me.
Yep true and they got a lot awards in the past so they don’t need to prove themselves. It’s good that they are concentrating to become better artist than to become this awards.
Im not a fan fan..i know them since bigbang days but didnt really care so much..but i know that they were once the biggest boy group after bigbang... i think one of the things that newer kpop fans should know is that its a cycle.. what’s maybe the biggest now..a day will come when someone bigger would take over..and genuine fans who love them would stay with the group regardless of #1s or not...
JUST WOW! EVERY OPINION IN THIS COMMENT SECTION HAS THE EXPLANATION REGARDING BEING AN IDOL, BEING POPULAR AND BEING PHENOMENAL!💓 DON’T WORRY GUYS IF BASHERS CALL OUR KING EXO FLOP, DON’T BELIEVE THEM😌 THEY JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT ELSE HATE TO THROW AGAINST EXO COZ THEY ARE WAY TOO PERFECT😍 MOST IMPORTANTLY, EXO LOVE EXO-LS SO MUCH THAT THEY CALL US THEIR “DAESANG”🙌 AND ALWAYS MODEST IN WHATEVER ACHIEVEMENTS THEY GET😌 YEHETTTT...
From their speech, they've come to a point where money, fame, ranks, trophy are no longer important. They want to focus on themselves and their fans and be happy together. With the recent news, honestly, exols there's so much hatred in this world already, why spread more hate ? . Lets laugh more, love more and be happy. Before anything else, we are all human beings with feelings. #Exo #WeAreOne #Saranghaja
This interview made me so emotional as it expressed how they truly feel with their fans. EXO describes EXOLs as "family which they can be truly comfortable with to the point they can show who they really are" and I cant believe that with what happened now, some fans show as to what extent their love for EXO as an artist and as an individual person is. EXO trusted EXOLs with all of their heart and yet we are breaking their trust.
This interview was different from almost every other kpop interview i’ve ever watched. It was about life, it was about family, it was about happiness, it was about respect, it was about love! And now i feel even more proud and happy for supporting these beautiful human beings! I don’t know how many times i said that, and idc, i’ll say million times. EXO, you’ve changed my life, and i’m forever grateful for that! #EXOsaranghaja
It's strange how nobody is talking about how good a job the interviewer did here. So far one of the best interviewers ever. She should give classes on " how to interview people ". How she drew answers out of even the usually quite ones (during interviews) Chen and Sehun. How everytime she was onto asking a question, the members' eyes and ears were glued on to her. How she never failed to garner answers from each and every member for the same question. Otherwise in most interviews, we usually find only 1 member answering for only 1 question. How it felt more of a warm chit chat, an exchange of experiences among friends rather than the usual formal interviewing process. How she managed to score a personal rapport with them sometimes even sharing her own experiences and at other times not forgetting to compliment them on everything they deserve to be praised for. 😍 And also how her enunciation of English words is so endearing that even the members couldn't hold back repeating those words after her. 😃 Brilliant job ! 👍❤❣
22:18 I got so emotional when Suho said this. Suho: (Referring to Chanyeol) He holds our hand very tightly "There I fill with loneliness, collapsed, And eight hands reach out to me. When I’m worn out, I hold tightly on to eight hands."- Hand, Chanyeol
@@brandi9054 I don't think so, he's always been confident...they're all growing and becoming more comfortable with the interviews. Last time they just trolled the whole thing which I loved
chanyeol : "My Body Is Unique , I DIDN'T FEEL MUCH PAIN" D.O *at his military*: *counting how many days he have till his discharge so he can hit Loey again*
Always With SEHUN Always With KAI Always With CHANYEOL Always With CHEN Always With BAEKHYUN Always With XIUMIN Always With D.O. Always With LAY Always With SUHO Always With EXO ❤ @weareoneEXO
I love this interview. It didn't even feel like one. The interviewer knew what she was doing and huge respect for that. And somehow i feel happy and sad at the same time. My boys are no longer boys. They have matured. Alot. nd i think that's the most beautiful thing. i really hope they are happy. We will love you and support you always no matter what. EXO IS 9. and jongdae, we are happy for you. Know that there are millions of people who still love you
Totally agree. From their aura and the way they spoke you could see how mature they have become. EXO is 9 and I'm sure they wouldn't want it any other way
I can feel EXO's tiredness emotionally, physically, and mentally in this interview but I love it at the same time because the laid back atmosphere spoke volumes about the experience and confidence they've accumulated over the years. They no longer have to do any gimmicks or tricks to be heard because their presence already command the ears of their listeners.
I really love the way exo are expressing their thoughts with us so freely without any back thought. I’m glad that they feel comfortable enough to share things about not only their idol self but also themselves as human beings. Baekhyun and jongin’s words sounded especially genuine to me, I love the fact that they are now thinking about their own happiness as humans but also at the same time have the will to keep sharing a part of their lives with us. Knowing that the majority of idols who’ve been in the industry for that long usually lose interest or passion due to pressure or over the fact that they have been in the industry for too long, they tend to only want to spend their remaining lives out of the spotlight. The fact that exo are willingly staying as a group without any pressure coming from the company or whatever, is just amazing, their bond not only with their fans but also among themselves is just mind-blowing to me, its really uncommon to see an idol group of almost 9 years still being that much passionate. it just proves that we’ve been stanning the right people. Now as fans We only wish them to be happy, build their own lives individually but retain the bond we build with each other over the years ❤️ exo is my youth and I’m glad to spend it with them
I feel the same 😊 and I'm so glad they are doing this... I'm so proud of my boys. They haven't done nothing to make me get sad or angry with them, they are always showing better works, better sides of themselves... I wish they could know how proud exoLs are of them right now.
I need each and everyone of them to tell us that they’re in a relationship ON THE SAME DAY and then we’ll see who their real fans are. Cuz I feel we’re even closer to them after Jongdae’s announcement and it’s almost like we’re breaking their trust and we’re drifting further apart when fans are hating and leaving them at the their happiest moments. This interview shows their maturity and shows how much they want to be open with us unlike any other group. They’ll be the change in the kpop industry they’ll normalize being a REGULAR HUMAN BEING in the industry and not just be some cookie cutter idol for creepy fans/sasaengs. Let’s love them forever for who they are and who they wish to be with in the future. Edit: I don’t understand how people think it was wrong for him to announce it at this time or how he shouldn’t have gotten his fiancé pregnant before marriage since he easily could’ve proposed before the pregnancy. He’s happy and he obviously wanted kids in his life. It wouldn’t have made a difference if he announced his plans of marrying now and the news of having his kid later cuz people would still be against him. Y’all will still look at western celebs and not judge them for having kids and not getting married but when he actually has a fixed plan in mind y’all still won’t acknowledge. Don’t change your mentality depending on which part of the world someone’s from.
Over the years of being EXOs fan, I’ve come to respect them more as artists and seeing how much they’ve evolved makes me happy. This interview is very heartfelt and I liked how open they were with their thoughts. I used to be a crazy fan girl but as the years went by I think I would just like to see them happy. Like Baek said that they had to keep showing a new side of them or they would lose their charm. They’ve never really lost their charm since I first got into them. I love you, exo. Thank you for your music and your personalities💕 Saranghaja! Edit-*I don’t mean crazy...like crazy crazy
Actually, I believe that their music is only getting better. They look more and more attractive with every new comeback. And their choreos get more and more interesting and beautiful. Aging like fine wine indeed....
Can we talk about how the amazing interviewer touched Baekhyun at 33:52 and he reacted so naturally about it. The humility of the members is astounding. Baek just turned to look at her as if she was a friend trying to get her attention.
The credit also goes to that woman for making each and every one of the member comfortable. She included everyone, filled in gaps, talked to the shy ones. She was really good❤️
Compare this to Ellie’s one - Ellie’s one: they are still teens This one: they are like 40s - Time flies and treasure the time being with them as an EXOL💝💝
Look at Chen always being the warm cheerful man he is~ he've been providing us with much love and positivity throughout the years :(( hope everyone will remember the beautiful him and what he've done for us all these years and start to think about him as a human too, love and support his decision please :(( he deserves to happy only, let's not ruin the whole thing, let's not make the beautiful memories of ours fade away as if it never happened and let's create new ones instead... Let's love 🖤
I became an exo-l this quarantine and because there are a lot of free time I am quickly drawn to them, watched a lot of their mv's, funny videos, shows, interviews, and reality shows too. It may sound fast to me to tell because it's only been four months but EXO made a special place in my heart considering that I'm new into k-pop last December and an ex-basher of the idols, I am now reflecting that k-pop is music/art that is appreciated and not being bashed because of the language and what I really like about it is you get to know what person they are, and for me I answered myself why others really love kpop more than music but it's not only rainbows and sunshine there is also the dark side of it and for me it's being obsessed with those idols, feeling pf the fans that they own them and it literally hits in this interview that some forgot that they are not only idols but humans too, i feel so sorry for those 'fans' who sees their idols as their bf/gf or someone they own I pray they will be enlightened and sees the truth. As for me when I was new into kpop I also dreamt of it but thankfully now I am guided and EXO is not an idol i need to praise and make a cult but is my friend, their music is my comfort, and their love to me as an exo-l (and other exo-ls) is my added strength :)
OMG same, I've become an EXO-L this quarentine, and I feel you so much. K-pop is more that I thought, I didn't wanna dive in cause of the toxics fans whom forget the are humans, but now I just love them so much and want them to be happy, I don't see them as my bf I see them as artists, friends, nice human being with a lot of talent. I was a fan of Chen but didn't know EXO and now that I'm into it it makes me so sad that it's so hard for them to become happy and free, it's been so long since he last apper and just maesme worry if he's doing okay I wish we could know how hw feel in love and how does it feel to become a parent. They are all in ages to create familys even more in korean culture that people tend to marry young. It just break my soul that they have to hid such an important side of their life and even feel sorry about. I just wonder how much there is that we don't know YET. Maybe he's not the only one in a relationship and I would love to suppert their love, that's happines and I just want them to become happy.
omg same! after 2 months of watching their videos, I finally had the chance to buy Suho's Album "Self-Portrait". The album is such a masterpiece, a work of art. So this is EXO, the talents are just overflowing. Soon if I'll have more money, I'm going to buy every single album and every single products they endorse. I wanna be rich to support EXO with all my heart.
nobody is apperciating this woman she's so good at making the interview comfortable and flow smoothly love it, it was so fun to watch all the membres taking role on talking it's feel so comfy
She’s so sweet but the interview was kinda of boring tbh and you see the members cut her off a lot cuz she drags things too long also baekhyun was yawning
People may not appreciate this interview because in general nowadays people have really short attention spans, so they prefer short bursts of energy instead of what is shown in this interview. In this interview its like the interviewer is trying to get more detailed answers, also more of the members have an input, whereas in other interviews, its a few members who do most of the talking.
@@NS-sc1vl exactly what i wanted to say, like last interview it was only suho, chanyeol who were talking but here we got all them talking it was more enjoyable the membres even kept on cutting her off because their were engrossed in conversation
reading exols comments just make me feel so happy and lucky to be part of this fandom I feel it's like the most mature and grown fandom ever you guys are so amazing and supportive love you so much you made my day please keep loving our members and be healthy .🖤🖤
So happy to meet someone like you. But I got to admit that not everyone in our fandom are mature. I'm glad that here, there's a lot of mature comments.
I am crying, crying, this is how idols should behave, that’s the reason why you are loved. To be honest, I never consider myself as full pledge fan to any group nor singers and artists I only appreciate them with what they do and how they do it. But you guys made me want to look back on your journey and know each one of you more. Chanyeol and Sehun might be my biases but each of you is making difference in my life. Each of you have the character that doesn’t make me want to choose as the best, as a group you are strong and I feel how familiar you are with each other and how you are as family. Effective December of 2019, I am baptizing myself as full pledge EXO-L who can’t have a day not seeing and listening to your photos, videos and music. And you made me want to learn how to read and speak korean more enthusiastically, to think that I have been a kdrama fan for years settled reading subtitles and now, I wanted to learn your language in order to communicate with you guys if I will get that 0.01% of meeting you all in person. I am looking forward that EXO Planet will visit all the continents to meet and have fun with EXO-Ls around the world. A bigger stage that will leave memories to everyone! #iheartexo #weareoneexo #exolove
I understand you, I become to read about music, becouse of them. To learn about their vocals perfomances, and I'm practicing my Japanese skill because of their CBX albums.
This is like my story..ive been a kdrama fan for so long before crossing over to kpop coz of D.O. i also want to learn korean coz i wanna communicate with them if ever that time comes. Istg i will watch their concert this 2020! (Hope theyll visit PH this year 😊)
Miss G awww I can relate on you , Im new to Exo as well (Nov 2019). Im not a kpop fanatic nor a basher before yeah I knew k-groups name and I knew that Exo is one of the well known group in the industry but nothing more. As I am a big fan of an actor I only focused watching Kdrama and some variety show. And it happen that because I saw one reality show (Roommate) of my two favorite actors LDW & SKJ and watched it and there you go Chanyeol happened to be one of the cast. At first Im focused with my two fav but little did I know chanyeol kindhearted attitude got my attention too. I got curious of what he does currently and I found myself watching some clips about him. Chanyeol is the first Idol I fall in love not knowing how multi talented he is and dragged me to love his group too. I started to watch their MV’s and listen to their music. I did reruns their shows, guesting and previous concert. You will see how these group genuinely love each other. Each member has their own charisma and characteristic that will amaze the fans.Chanyeol is my ultimate bias but all the member is a bias wrecker too. In watching a kdrama Im ok reading subs I guess Im not born with a bilingual tounge - their language is really hard for me. But this doesnt stop me loving their music struggles are real for an international fan but theres a lot of way to understand them : ) .And I dont have any talent in singing but starting to learn even only their song pronounciation just to to sing with their music. I even wishing to attend to their concert just to see these amazing and talented groups , I hope. And I guess once you love this group you couldnt turn your back instead youwill learn to love them even more.. #Exo #ExoisExo #iheartexo #AlwayswithExo
I absolutely love this interview. EXO’s happiness is an EXO-lS first priority because as long as EXO’s happy we are happy . I’m annoyed at the fake EXO-L’s who completely ditched Chen and gave him hate after he said he was getting married.I am still supporting Chen as I’m happy for him .Im also supporting LAY as well as even tho he isn’t with EXO right now he’s still apart of the band . I’m a new EXO-L I’ve been an EXO-L for 3 months now and I’m trying to watch as many EXO interviews and get to know a lot more about the boys . Also I can’t believe that some people find this interview boring like it may be long but it’s still interesting plus it’s actually kind of refreshing to see EXO acting more serious and BAEKHYUN being mature .
EXO's happiness is Exo-L's first priority. As long as you're happy we're happy! ^^)"♪♥ . WE'RE REAL #EXO-LS WILL STAY SUPPORT KEEP LOVE #EXO FOREVER !! #WEAREONE. #Ot12 #EXO #Chen'sprincess
Alternate title: Baekhyun being a philosopher for almost 35 minutes (jk they're all deep in this interview, really good questions and nice flow, thank you iHeartRadio!!)
Eris: Our babies grow up. I'm crying. They are so real and so mature in this video. EXO: We are a family (You can really tell how close they are) Thanks to iHeart for asking those amazing questions. Especially to us these days, this video's appearance is very meaningful. Eris love them not only because they are EXO. More importantly, it is who they are as individuals. Their hearts to Eris are always so sincere. EXO is not EXO without anyone in 9 people. We support every member. To Haters: They are taking care of each other, not you. Please watch this multiple times and think about it. Are you really going to ruin the name of Eri when they trust you so much??? Best to all the loves in this world. OT9 forever and EXO + EXO-Ls (Eris) = ONE (Do Not Accept argue on this, Thank you)
Because what the members need right now is not to rest, but to travel together and creating memories together. -Baekhyun We just want to enjoy instead of focusing on the scores. We just want to he happy and out fans to be happy too. -Kai EXO doesn't need to prove anything because they already are a proof itself of the best group ever!
Jongdae: “When I first debuted, I’d worry abt not making mistakes (onstage)...But now, I think about how much I’ve been able to make happy memories that the ppl watching can cherish...I think now I think more about the happiness of the fans." None of you deserve him. I hate every single one of you who may cause or have caused him getting hurt. I hope you never find happiness in your life.
It is true that those people who've hurt Jongdae doesn't deserve him but it's not right to wish that they can never find happiness in life because if we do, there would be no difference between us both
They were so cute when they talked about who will win if they fight with their powers. It was so funny when Kai asked: " Are we really going to be this childish? " LOL This interview was so personal and comfortable. I like it when Exo teases each other because you can feel how close they are. Exo Fighting! I will always support you.
I really love this interview. It's like letting us see a different side of EXO: matured and deep. A simple and very laid back interview but the content is so sincere and raw. Not the typical funny interview they've done in the past, this gave me insights how they really love their craft and are all doing their best to make themselves and their fans happy. I just don't know why some fans want Chen out of the team. Shame on you! Come on guys! Grow up, leave him alone! Just because he's getting married and will be having a family soon means that you can drag the team down. He shouldn't be treated this way. If you are a fan, you will still support him!
Since I'm a really picky person it took me months to start supporting them as an EXO-L. I've joined the fandom during this (OBSESSION) era. It started cause of their amazing music, but then I saw the amazing human beings these guys are. The 9 of them are EXO-L's biggest pride and once you get to know them, you realize why their fans never leave them. We are one, EXO 사랑하자 ♡ And... Yes, I wasn't a k-pop stan before them.
Yo también, escuchaba mucho kpop antes pero ningún grupo llamó del todo mi atención hasta que los conocí a ellos, ahora mi amor y apoyo completo esta con EXO para siempre❤😊.
I'm so overwhelmed by this interview.. It just feels like a healing time with EXO.. I can feel how they have grown up and their bond together is for real like a family, how they fuss over their superpowers or tease each other saying chanyeol is making stuff up.. this is how family behaves with each other real brothers .. But Sehun, what do I do with this baby, he was busy looking over workman manager than focus on the answers hahaha .. I love the EXOL fandom too, it has given me so many irreplaceable friends in my life.. I hope EXO finds their happiness in their personal lives too and they share it with us . I hope Chen has a beautiful future with his loved one and little one. Also I hope we exols keep loving and supporting these precious humans till the end of time. We are one!! EXO Saranghaja ♥️
I had this dream last night where I talked to Chen and told him that exols will always love him and support him, and that he shouldn't stress or worry about it, that we would always be here with him. Then I woke up realized it was a dream and wished I could tell him that in real life aAAGH
I had dream too about Chen, i saw him smile widely seeing us and told us that he's okay. I just about to cry and he told me don't cry with brightest smile on his face😭😭😭🥺
31:10 I die for the way he says 'pretty', haha. iHeart did a great job with this interview. As an EXO-L I appreciate the knowledge they had on our boys. I feel like they have all realized fame, being an idol, chart records don't really matter. I feel like they are focusing on genuine happiness and being a human. Like lil Chennie getting married! We will always support you. Love you EXO. :)
This whole interview had made me very emotional. To how they expressed their words and themselves make me wanna cry. Aff.. I miss being that crazy fangirl I used to be when it comes to them. For years of being their fan, I've realized a lot of things about them. And with this interview, I've come to know them more. The fact that they've realized that those achievements they've had for the past years don't really matter as long as they could create memories with us and just be themselves have touched my heart. Gooossh... Cheers to those EXO-LS who chose to stay with EXO and continue supporting them despite of all the challenges that have gone through our way until they still can. I love y'all 😘❤️
Ikr... Me with teary eyes watching this whole interview.... Even when they are laughing... Am also laughing but with teary eyes... They have been through sooooo much things to be what and who they are now.. I just pray for their happiness now and forever, despite of all the hatred threw to them, i want them to know that there are more fans out there to shower them with happiness... #AlwaysWithExo
I've waited 2 years from the last for another iHeartRadio interview and in contrast to the first being lighthearted, funny, and playful (which is fun, I love Ellie for that) I appreciate Stacey Nam for asking deeper questions so we could really see members think and answer honestly from the heart. Both interview types are amazing but at this crucial n sensitive time with Jongdae getting married with haters flocking from the woodworks the fandom really needs this. Thanks you and fighting EXO-Ls 🙌
@@boiji2you431 of course dear. That was the greatest opportunity for EXO-Ls. Actually as true EXO-Ls we should understand them and respect their decisions and don't bother them. I feel so proud of ma boys. I'm alway here with them no matter what.
As a Chen stan, here is what I have realized. After all these years, despite being known as a loud beagle of the group, and someone who takes care of everyone; he may have had his own world that prevented him from having more time to bond with other members. I kind of relate myself to this, as most of my life I am one. I teared up with Chanyeols description of Chen and Sehuns message to him (29:57 onwards). They really loved each other after all. Proud to say I stan the right family.
10:38 Q: Is there anything still that you would like to achieve as a group? Kai: As a group instead of having a goal in mind what we want, to be honest, is for us to all be happy while continuing as artists, continuing together happily with our fans is our dream. Chen, smiles... They are so precious. Let's stay together, let's continue together happpily^^
When I became a fan of EXO, I promised to myself that they're the only group that I will love this much and I'm glad even after approaching 9 years since their debut, this remains to be the absolute truth for me. I do end up listening to many groups and soloist but at the end of the day its always EXO for me. It may be hard to understand how can someone feel such deep connection with a group of people we don't know personally, but I think it was enough that they had never failed to show us their sincerity. We don't know EXO beyond what they have shown us, but we dont want to pry more. We have witnessed their passion for what they do, and has worked very hard despite all the odds going against them. For me, these things are what's most important and in return, I want them to be able to live happily in their personal lives. I will only support EXO's decision like what I have done in the past. To all exols out there who feels the same, I hope we can all come together to show unity especially now that our fandom is in a state of disorder due to a minority of people causing an uproar. Just like how EXO members are a family, we too, are a one big family. We must not scatter so we can prevail at the end. Let's love for a long time. ALWAYS, WE ARE ONE.
From the begining *BAEKHYUN* is a whole mood....He makes around people of him feel comfortable....And they all laughing including the MC girl ( *STACY* )....He also such a cutie... He really look so cute when he smile...I freaking love it...😍😘😊
@@sehunnieismyoneandonly5561 That what I thought....He look really cute with those white hair...He look like an anime charater just like Chen say at that interview...😄😆😊🤗
I hope that SM can really understand this interview and fight for Chen because 5 months have already passed but Chen is still getting hate the members have already mentioned how much they are important to eachother I hope that after they all finish their military service SM would give them vacation with out any cameras They already have gone through so much from loosing their brothers to getting hate for nothing please exo stay strong and stand together your fans will always support and love you We don't care if you guys are at top or not what matters for us is your mental health and happiness #Weareone
also i can see why everyone always talks so highly about suho like he really seems like a person who's easily admirable because of the energy he gives off like idk if that makes sense but like basically i mean he seems like a really respectable and super good guy who deserves to always be given love 💞💞
Me too.. I am an ARMY as well and I really like EXO's music and personalities since a long time..... As a die hard K-pop fan I really wish to see them perform as they are wonderful singers.Hope they will be more and more happier.now-a-days These people make me smile as BTS do.may be I will turn into a EXO-l in a few days.
One of the best interviews in the kpop history ever (national and especially international). It’s refreshing to hear their thoughts and feelings about specific topics and how they grew from trainees to members and then to a big family. I like how Sehun said at first he didn’t understand the members but with the time how he came to understand to value all of them, how they depend at eo and how he became thankful to them. NOW WE ARE A FAMILY. That is a process and not how every groups claims that they are like family from the beginning but you know it’s not true cause you see that some members don’t even get along well. People forget even the reality that they firstly are workpartners and that they probably will have a lot problems with eo before they click right. I like that they are honest about this. Like Chanyeol said that he became really close with Chen last year. They were good friends and did hang out and did have fun together but sometimes it needs a deep conversation or smth.else to be more close and to be bonded.
EXO's happiness is EXO-L's first priority. As long as you're happy we're happy ･ᴗ･♡
Hi Andy
Never imagined this fandom without Andy 😉
hi andy. can u make a video about this interview please? they are so adorable repeating and saying english words, i cannot😍
Hi Andy, I'm waiting your video about this wholesome interview
We want a video about the interview｡◕‿◕｡
Kai was right, they don't have to focus to be a number one, they just want to enjoy performing and make their funs (exo-Ls) happy.
Exactly right dear
As EXO-Ls we should be proud and happy about them. They are literally the real artists.
@@rasangiudayangana8614 kings of kpop
@@ath3naa429 of course
They're First and Only Number One for EXO-L
but Although they're really Number 1
I know a lot of fans prefer it when kpop groups being interviewed in general are super playful and hyped up, but I personally like these laid back, intimate type of interviews where the members really speak from their hearts. It almost seems like a reflection of what they mean by being able to express themselves much more comfortably now having been in the kpop industry for 8 years. And I really do admire EXO for being so open about wishing to continue as an artist whilst finding their own individual happiness, because let's be honest, this is something that a big bulk of kpop fandoms forget (particularly that of the Korean fanbase as we're seeing now with recent news). Thank you for this interview!
Me too
well said
Me too. It makes me kinda assured. It feels like they ARE happy❤

I feel so lucky that I can read and understand all the comments posted here. As a Korean, I just want to tell all the international fans that there are a lot of fans in Korea that agree with all of you. I really felt that all the EXO members were anxious about the perfect storm that was about to come and tried to send a message to their fans that 'WE ARE ONE' during their last concert in Korea. After seeing this interview, I was convinced that they were trying to send this message again indirectly. I noticed that Baekhyun was trying to give his support to Chen by holding/stroking (around 29min) him which warmed my heart instantly.
I just hope that the fans who are trying to pressure Chen to quit being EXO, listen to Sehun and realize how important each and every member is to EXO.
엑소 힘내. 다음 무대 기대하고 있을께.
Finally, something positive from K-fans. I had been under so much stress reading negative things. Thanks for your words of support!

@@myhandle127 Ohana
why no one talk about how mature they became differently of the last iheartradio interview 🥺
baek'ᄉ' hyun ikr, the last time interview was chaos. Baekhyun with his noisy mouth but here we can see them as an adult 🥺 ohh god! They're so matured now
I think sometimes it depends the type of person who is interviewing , they have different characters that make the aura different
But this interview has more of an anxious air to it. Like they are worried or not truly there. Both interviews are good but rather prefer chaotic EXO to this EXO because they were clearly troubled because of Chen's upcoming news.
@@najebravo7083 yeah, because the last girl, (omg i love ellie lee, the girl who was interviewing them before) she brought more of a chaotic air to it but this girl was much more chill
Well, i loved their interview with Ellie ;)
"Your happiness is our happiness."
This should be every fan's mindset. We don't own our idols, they should never be limited to only doing what the fans want. They've given us the best years of their lives and we should be thankful for that.
Uri Jongdae, as much as I teared up when I heard the news, please know that I still support and love you wholeheartedly. You're going to become a great dad and I admire your courage to man up and tell everyone yourself despite the imminent backlash. Do not mind the negative comments because a loooot of people still believe and support you. Stay with EXO for a long, loooong time. True EXO-Ls have your back, always. ❤️
True. The amount of happiness I felt in that momemt when I read the news is uncompareable. I actually have been waiting for any of my idols whether it's EXO or any other group to get married and start a family.
So this news was all I needed. I finally get to become a Grandmother at 14😁
Love you Chen and EXO❤
This needs to be set in stone and sent to every sasaeng fansite and anti on the planet.
I really don't understand their mindset. Why do they think that their idols belong to them. They make it sound like chen is a young teenage boy who does not know what he is doing. Last time I checked he was nearing his 30's and from what I know that is what you call a grown man. They are not true fans if they think that he should leave the group. Why does he need to leave just because he found someone to love that isn't one of his so called fan. I truly wish him and his family all the best and I hope he knows that he has fans that supports him.
Anu-Radha Maharaj exactly🙄so immature
Cotton Bunny so true
“Rather than focusing on scores, we just want to continue as artists and being happy” -> let the guys have their private life while continuing to support them as artists!❤️🥰

is it just me who noticed how the MC [STACY NAM] is so well informed abt their stuff like the kai's IG live and having two accounts nd all , mannn i love it when ppl respect my boys like this,knowing abt em nd then interviewing them,all hail IHEART RADIO for quality EXO content. THANK u ELLIE LEE ND STACY NAM for letting our boys have fun
Right? Good MC should have this skill, so it wont be like they just read it from the text. N it also shows that u respect the guest n make the interview more fun to watch
Ellie and Stacy are always nice and informed
Right great MC
yes
She did this was taemin as well. It was like an hour long interview where they sat down in a restaurant and she seemed well informed about him and asked a lot of good questions
When I see the maknae line- Kai and Sehun- speaking up and protecting their hyungs, I cry. My babies have grown up to be such fine men. EXO and EXO-Ls forever !
I know. Especially since the maknaes usually keep quiet during interviews
high praises to miss stacy handle so well the interviewee(exo)handle so well they all firmed and answer the questionaire politely..love lots exo

@@spreadpeacetoliveinapeace6079 yassss i exteremely agreeing with this one too!
I can't believe people are calling this interview "dull". I love this interview so much. It's my favourite interview EXO has ever done, excluding the fact that not all members are here. It's so real and down-to-earth. Discusses the "real" topics without getting off track to EXO's concepts. Have you ever wondered why this interview was done also in English? EXO went on both Korean and English speaking platforms (radio talk) to give us these insights. These words are coming straight from their hearts and I appreciate them for opening up like this. If you can't stand this level of maturity then maybe this fandom isn't for you. All I know is I stan the right group.
ikr even i think this was such a wholesome interview and their words came from their hearts.I think as an exol we get a good insight on how they have changed since their debut and have found their way to happiness.
This is the most sincere, most real selves of them. They are true, they are genuine. and this is the best interview along with JYP's Party People.
@@poorvalele9761 i agree with you too. Its absolutely childish to think that grown men of age 25-30 would be focused on making an interview 'fun'. They are respectable artists who have now become senior artists in the industry. They have given enough 'fun' interviews in the early days and still are 'fun ' during promotions,reality shows.
Honestly,as a fandom ,we should grow mature too. I have spent my teenage years with them and I want to spend my adulthood with them too.
Totally agree. This was one of my fav interviews of them. Everything they said came from the heart. It was the best thing ever
It's a good interview but my favorite exo interview is the one with Ellie Lee you should probably check that out.

"I think of the hapiness of our fans"- Jongdae. Then why can't we think of his hapiness too ,as a fandom?
Please only send positive vibes for him and his new family.
Edit: I know most of the backlash is from Kerries,but I want to believe there are still some of them who support Chen. I dont want to put the blame on a single section of fans. As Jongdae has always remained positive,I want to have some hope too. I hope the whole fandom rises to support Chen wholeheartedly.
salty EXOhoe because k fans angry
Of course. Mostly kexols are mad now.
Some of the Kerries
I saw some KExols on Lysn spreading hate comments to Chen.They even say that it's their right because they are "ACE" and not basic..Delusionals to highest levels.Tsk!!!

yes we are one saranghaja ㅠㅠ
The "we are family" vibes were so strong in this interview! You can see that they really reached a level where they are no longer trying to have that "perfect untouchable idol attitude" but rather show the deep human side of them. I think this is the message they want to give to EXO-Ls. Unfortunately, not all the EXO-Ls understand this message and it's heartbreaking to see how many suddenly went against Chen just because he is just trying to be happy, just like any other human being. Although I haven't been an EXO-L for a very long time, I fully support them and want them to have a happy life. #EXOweareone #EXOsaranghaja
So true 💯💯💯
The netizens thought they could control his life. A lot of support from international fans overpowered theirs and thankfully it ranked the no1 search globally 💃💃 they wanted to brag about the money they spend on exo but then unfortunately for them and fortunately for us most of the incomes come from international fans. I just can't believe this how would you want to control someone life and happiness and yet want to live your own life tchwwww
Thats so true....if he is happy i am happy thats all ❤️

@@blackceena I read somewhere that they started selling their Chen albums and merch on used items sites. I mean this is just insane. EXO is not here to devote their lives to EXO Ls and not have a private life. EXO Ls should just love them and be grateful for all the wonderful music and moments they received over the years from them and not try to control and ruin their private life. Hopefully the support from our side of EXO-Ls will keep them strong. #EXOweareone
This was filmed in December, but I believe 2019 was a year of great change for them, mentally and emotionally. These ideas and concepts they talked about in the interview don’t sound like they are scripted. They must have been discussing these topics among themselves for a while: personal happiness, honesty, friendship (EXO and EXO L), bonding as a family, and they seem more introspective and mature since EXO’s Ladder reality show. They also talked about these things when Xiumin held his party, before enlisting. D.O. and Xiumin left for a while, and soon the others will follow, and they know they need to be strong, and trust each other. The storms will rage, but will pass eventually. They know this first hand because hardship hit EXO hard many times before, and they overcame everything with hard work. Baekhyun said at JYP’s show that he trusted EXO L to help and support them through tough times. Let’s not betray his trust, just like their best friends would do.
That's a very through statement. I feel the same as Exo grown a lot along the hall of fame. They feel like a deeply bonded while individually self aware. Like they still care very much about the fans but their wished comes first. In this interview they are confident, relaxed, true, and sincere. I love them more.
This group don't deserved the hates, the criticism and such. They are also human. Exo and exo-l have been experienced so many difficulties, problem, trials. Losing 3 members, 1 inactive that some people excluded him from exo, dating issue (kai), chen's having a family (that they also wanted him to out of exo). And 3 members is in military. We always experienced being robbed by some polls, award shows. That ''some of exo-l tired'' of being like that. So they leave us. Because of these trials we make us weak but exo gives us strength to fight and we become stronger. EXO'S MOTIVATION IS EXO-L and EXO-L'S MOTIVATION IS EXO. Exo and exo-l are not IDOL and Fans relationship BUT IS A FAMILY. I'm happy that I belong to this fam. And I'm proud of it. ❤❤❤
Ones who can endure hardships will remain as EXO-Ls.
This is so beautiful and real ❤❤❤😭😍
👍👍👍❤❤❤please, stay together EXO & EXO-L ! coz together you stand, divided you fall ! Let's be happy with their beautiful music!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻GOD bless.🙏🏻
YES WE ARE ONE
we are one ❤️
10:43 “as a group, what we want now, to be honest, is for us to all be happy while continuing as artists. continuing together happily with our fans is our dream.”
jongin says that this is what they want. achieving personal happiness and continuing as artists are not mutually exclusive to exo, so it shouldn’t be for us fans either. here’s to more years of happiness for all 9 members of exo
오늘도 화이팅.
Fighting as always.

It’s what he deserves

No one:

But movements most people cannot do, I can."

Our unique chanyeol
Aisyah Hanani the talent lol
Watching this again months after Chen's announcement, I was able to understand the members' anxiety while conducting this interview. The look on Chen's eyes, the sincerity of their words, the fear on Suho's voice, as if they were afraid they were about to lose us.
When I first watched this, I thought they were just so stressed and drained out, but now I totally realize it all. After all of these, I am more than proud I stayed. Baekhyun said Chen is an angel, I agreed with him them, I agree with him now. They're the most precious gem we were able to find, and we feel the same toward us, no matter what, let us not lose each other.
During Suho's ending speech, of all of them Jongdae never once broke eye contact with the camera. They all seem not quite themselves, Chanyeol seems a bit spaced out and Suho and Chen look anxious, they all knew about the oncoming storm. The release of this interview was perfectly timed. What a great way to emphasise their humanity as well as their love for their work and fans. Amazing interview, thankyou Stacy. EXO's happiness is my happiness. 사랑하자
i didn't realize that until i read your comment and it really squeezed my heart... i hope he knows that the majority supports him and wish for his happiness
"the oncoming storm"? what happened??
lsamoa they’re probably referring to Chen announcing his engagement.
on point! most prominent is chanyeol spacing out!
chanyeol's eyes look red, maybe he was sick or hadn't been sleeping well
10:46 they are so supportive with Chen, you can see Sehun slightly leaning on him + and Kai saying that they want to be individually happy but together, you can see how happy he looks knowing that all his members support his choice. And the way Chen smiles ;; we are so happy for you Jongdae!
This is why those who are hating him and told him to leave is idiots 😌 they don't deserve to call themsslves fans
is this interview before or after that chen's news?
@@honjayaaa6605 before, like a month and a half
This was probably my favourite Korean idol interview ever. Like they're humans and they spoke like humans, not acting weird or super giddy to make it 'funny' but being themselves and talking about things that matter. Loved the interviewer, great questions. It feels like such a journey knowing these boys it's beautiful
I know right? Some people see it as dull though, but I think just like you, they seem more human and honest to themselves. I hope they're given a break.
"Exo needs vacation"
In all honesty?
This interview is my favorite. I feel like I really got to know them a little better and it just felt so sincere and warm.
It suprised me a little that they spoke up about wanting to be happy and making their happiness their first priority.
It just gives me the feeling that they've been around for so long and have grown into their roles and matured to a point where they seem at peace with things and don't need to stress themselves that much anymore. It made so happy to hear that.
Especially in light on Chen's marriage and parenthood I think this was their way to tell everyone that they're okay with it and that they support him and that his personal happiness is a priority to them.
I am genuinely touched by this.
Among the other interviews that Exo had done during 2019, this definitely my most favorite one. They seemed so calm, mature, and I like how this interview feels like it’s not about how’s your life as an Exo member but about themselves as a person in life. May the current situation would not change anything from how they present themselves in front of exo-ls and the others.
u can see how much baekhyun has really matured in this interview. i’m not sure if it’s bc he was superM’s leader so he understands how suho feels now but Baekhyun naturally answered most of the questions and even finished the interviewer’s question. compared to prior interviews when he would play with things in his hands or constantly yell “come on man!”
I love both sides of Baekhyun, his mature and his cute side!
The whole mood of this interview was suitable for his mature / serious side which was always there actually as a way of thinking and understanding people and life :)
Whoa! I didn’t know he was Super Ms leader! That’s so cool. My little bacon!
yes it is true❤️
So true, but I guess this interview was supposed to be "serious" type. I love both of his sides tho
This didn’t even feel like an interview. It felt like a conversation with this super Successful world wide group about where they’ve been and where they are going. This was one of the best Kpop interviews I’ve seen in a while. We really got to see how grown and secure the Exos have become. I really hope fans will allow them to be happy and take new paths in their lives It’s crazy to have watched them grown into the men that they are today. I’m super emotional but Thank you for this amazing video Stacy and Iheart.
Jongin in this interview was very game in answering questions. He is usually very shy, so this is all new to us. He is a man full of wisdom and I love it when he speaks his mind ^^ Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us my love. I'm so proud of what you've become and achieved. My light and love. My heart and soul. I love you so much 우리 종인이 ㅜㅜ
I was thinking the same thing. I love his answers and the thoughts he put into them.
And he usually doesn't say much. But this time he really spoke for the group
Yasss, I noticed this Jongin since he joined SuperM tho, since he's part of the older one in that group he became less shy and more well spoken 🥺
Actually I searched his mbti on the internet and he is an INFJ, the rarest personality type. Those are the ones with powerful intuition and philosophical thoughts. Even in his profile, it was written that he thinks a lot about philosophical topics such as why he was born, what would he do if he weren't a part of exo today, how he has slowly adjusted his thoughts and beliefs to other people's point of views etc. I don't know how much of that is actually true, but looking at this interview, it seems that atleast some of it is.
Honestly I'm not even a fan but I stayed the whole 31 mins cause it didn't even felt like an interview, it was more of a conversation and that's so refreshing to see especially with kpop groups
I m so glad there r ppl like u in this world. Keep up the great work. It's nice to see non fans in this zone.
❤
I know right! Love to see them like this~
8:41 *"i enjoy dancing with Sehun so much. But we haven't had the chance to show this as much."*

So yes that includes CHEN and LAY
"uljjima hyung, dont cry"
Sehun wasn't lying when he said he was an english god
"personal space and life outside of an artist?" EXO: silence
I don't know if anyone noticed or we simply decided to ignore their blank faces and the fact that they still can not openly talk about personal space and life as normal humans is making me cry. Baekhyun really took one for the team there by giving a diplomat answer and changing the subject kind of. Could lose their innocent image? lose delusional fans? lose popularity? but then again if they were to keep all those but on the expense of what? Their happiness for sure, which those antis don't seem to care at all. I swear if ot9 breaks, I'm out.
When is that part.
@@monikasbabu6802 19:05
I agree with you! I am waiting for the moment when they feel they can talk if they want about their life. F.example Chen being a dad! I would love listening his stories about being dad.
It’s actually breaking my heart seeing their blank faces the whole interview they don’t seem like their usual self
Exactly
This whole interview makes EXO more and more special for me. We all should now strongly protect our nine gems. EXO has actually protected us all this time and always loved us. Now, we should stand by them through thick and thin, love them and protect them from fake fans and toxic people.
I'll always love you EXO and support all of you.
My OT9! EXO Saranghaja!
I became their fan during this quarantine .still learning about them but I just hope that we all remember that they r humans too. I just want them to do what they want .find d love of their life get married have happy children and always be a part of exo. They love their fans too much that they feel guilty or uncomfortable to do what they naturally want to afraid that they might disappoint d fans. I just hope that all of us together can love, support them and make them stronger.
exactly
I'm 36 and just found out about exo during quarantine also lol It's a lot of information to process since I only barely knew Growl. As a light fan, I totally understand/support Chen getting married and forming a family but I also understand the opposite sentiment..! "Real" Exo L's need to buy concert ticket almost like registering for a popular class at college because they sell out in a minute or so & they each buy at least 10 copies of albums to collect different versions of photos. Of course they know they can't be Chen's real wife but they do dwell on that fantasy (and spend lots of money). Chen also lied when people speculated that they are getting married because she's pregnant (and 7 month later they had a baby lol) SM predecessor TVSQ's Changmin got married recently and did not get criticized because he was age 32 and TVSQ was well past their prime. Chen is only 27 & many members still active as Exo. So yea it's little bit more complicated than just being jealous of that lucky woman ^.^);; Correct me if I am wrong, I just recently became a fan
@@hey-diddlediddle I dont think Chen lied...
I came to Stan EXO during quarantine as well.. It's such a bitter sweet experience to go through their past content, thinking why I didn't find out about them sooner.. but still love seeing them boys together!
@@hey-diddlediddle chen never lied to us. in fact he has constantly been telling us that he wants to treat us like his friends many many times and just cause some 'fans' have been doing this till now does not been it has to stay this way. what is wrong is wrong and need to to changed

he is actually 😂😂😂

sysynbhh TY
Lols!! Most probably.
Don't you notice how confident Jongin has become talking on interviews? I'm proud
They worked non stop for almost 9 years chasing the “dream”. They are all be like an empty shell of they do not find their own happiness and peace as a person.
Yep, many idols (snsd is one of the most memorable ones for me) have talked about this particular issue. They need to find a different side of themselves besides being and idol so they don’t feel empty or lonely
I agree! As much as their career stems from their passion for music, it’s still work and like most people, you can’t base your whole life around work (even if you like your job!). You need to develop and cherish other aspects in your life to feel healthy and happy. So I just wish for more fans to understand that and let them breathe and live freely.
I feel like this comment section is how EXO-L is truly supposed to be. No fights with other fandoms, no antis, solo stans, ot7 or ot8 stans; just us expressing our love for the boys. Thank you

"Chen,an angel"
- Byun Baekhyun,2020
This interview was taken in 2019, so...
Perfect because real baby angel is coming😍❤
Antis are always like "exo flop, they don't get awards blah blah". See, EXO are way past the need of awards to validate them. They are true artists, true idols. Awards can give you a sense of pride temporarily, sure, but real happiness can only come from within and only when you are at peace with what you are doing as an artist.
Thank you, EXO for everything. You continue to inspire me.
I can't agree more.
I want to give this comment a million like
Yep true and they got a lot awards in the past so they don’t need to prove themselves. It’s good that they are concentrating to become better artist than to become this awards.
Im not a fan fan..i know them since bigbang days but didnt really care so much..but i know that they were once the biggest boy group after bigbang... i think one of the things that newer kpop fans should know is that its a cycle.. what’s maybe the biggest now..a day will come when someone bigger would take over..and genuine fans who love them would stay with the group regardless of #1s or not...
JUST WOW! EVERY OPINION IN THIS COMMENT SECTION HAS THE EXPLANATION REGARDING BEING AN IDOL, BEING POPULAR AND BEING PHENOMENAL!💓 DON’T WORRY GUYS IF BASHERS CALL OUR KING EXO FLOP, DON’T BELIEVE THEM😌 THEY JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT ELSE HATE TO THROW AGAINST EXO COZ THEY ARE WAY TOO PERFECT😍 MOST IMPORTANTLY, EXO LOVE EXO-LS SO MUCH THAT THEY CALL US THEIR “DAESANG”🙌 AND ALWAYS MODEST IN WHATEVER ACHIEVEMENTS THEY GET😌 YEHETTTT...
From their speech, they've come to a point where money, fame, ranks, trophy are no longer important. They want to focus on themselves and their fans and be happy together. With the recent news, honestly, exols there's so much hatred in this world already, why spread more hate ? . Lets laugh more, love more and be happy.
Before anything else, we are all human beings with feelings.

Ezza Izzaty Some k fans need to wake up and we’re the bell
Agree with u
This interview made me so emotional as it expressed how they truly feel with their fans. EXO describes EXOLs as "family which they can be truly comfortable with to the point they can show who they really are" and I cant believe that with what happened now, some fans show as to what extent their love for EXO as an artist and as an individual person is. EXO trusted EXOLs with all of their heart and yet we are breaking their trust.
This interview was different from almost every other kpop interview i’ve ever watched. It was about life, it was about family, it was about happiness, it was about respect, it was about love! And now i feel even more proud and happy for supporting these beautiful human beings! I don’t know how many times i said that, and idc, i’ll say million times. EXO, you’ve changed my life, and i’m forever grateful for that! #EXOsaranghaja
It's strange how nobody is talking about how good a job the interviewer did here. So far one of the best interviewers ever. She should give classes on " how to interview people ". How she drew answers out of even the usually quite ones (during interviews) Chen and Sehun. How everytime she was onto asking a question, the members' eyes and ears were glued on to her. How she never failed to garner answers from each and every member for the same question. Otherwise in most interviews, we usually find only 1 member answering for only 1 question. How it felt more of a warm chit chat, an exchange of experiences among friends rather than the usual formal interviewing process. How she managed to score a personal rapport with them sometimes even sharing her own experiences and at other times not forgetting to compliment them on everything they deserve to be praised for. 😍
And also how her enunciation of English words is so endearing that even the members couldn't hold back repeating those words after her. 😃
Brilliant job ! 👍❤❣
thats true
I adore her, she really got the boys tuned in so charmingly!!!
100% with you on this. Despite the situation EXO was in during this time, she still did amazing and should pride herself on that.

@weareoneEXO
I love this interview. It didn't even feel like one. The interviewer knew what she was doing and huge respect for that. And somehow i feel happy and sad at the same time. My boys are no longer boys. They have matured. Alot. nd i think that's the most beautiful thing. i really hope they are happy. We will love you and support you always no matter what. EXO IS 9. and jongdae, we are happy for you. Know that there are millions of people who still love you
Totally agree. From their aura and the way they spoke you could see how mature they have become. EXO is 9 and I'm sure they wouldn't want it any other way
I can feel EXO's tiredness emotionally, physically, and mentally in this interview but I love it at the same time because the laid back atmosphere spoke volumes about the experience and confidence they've accumulated over the years. They no longer have to do any gimmicks or tricks to be heard because their presence already command the ears of their listeners.
I really love the way exo are expressing their thoughts with us so freely without any back thought. I’m glad that they feel comfortable enough to share things about not only their idol self but also themselves as human beings. Baekhyun and jongin’s words sounded especially genuine to me, I love the fact that they are now thinking about their own happiness as humans but also at the same time have the will to keep sharing a part of their lives with us. Knowing that the majority of idols who’ve been in the industry for that long usually lose interest or passion due to pressure or over the fact that they have been in the industry for too long, they tend to only want to spend their remaining lives out of the spotlight. The fact that exo are willingly staying as a group without any pressure coming from the company or whatever, is just amazing, their bond not only with their fans but also among themselves is just mind-blowing to me, its really uncommon to see an idol group of almost 9 years still being that much passionate. it just proves that we’ve been stanning the right people. Now as fans We only wish them to be happy, build their own lives individually but retain the bond we build with each other over the years ❤️ exo is my youth and I’m glad to spend it with them
I feel the same 😊 and I'm so glad they are doing this... I'm so proud of my boys. They haven't done nothing to make me get sad or angry with them, they are always showing better works, better sides of themselves... I wish they could know how proud exoLs are of them right now.
Cryingggg because like they are our friends ya know! We grew up with them and want to know they are safe and well and growing too!!
Omg.. I feel the same
I need each and everyone of them to tell us that they’re in a relationship ON THE SAME DAY and then we’ll see who their real fans are. Cuz I feel we’re even closer to them after Jongdae’s announcement and it’s almost like we’re breaking their trust and we’re drifting further apart when fans are hating and leaving them at the their happiest moments. This interview shows their maturity and shows how much they want to be open with us unlike any other group. They’ll be the change in the kpop industry they’ll normalize being a REGULAR HUMAN BEING in the industry and not just be some cookie cutter idol for creepy fans/sasaengs. Let’s love them forever for who they are and who they wish to be with in the future.
Edit: I don’t understand how people think it was wrong for him to announce it at this time or how he shouldn’t have gotten his fiancé pregnant before marriage since he easily could’ve proposed before the pregnancy. He’s happy and he obviously wanted kids in his life. It wouldn’t have made a difference if he announced his plans of marrying now and the news of having his kid later cuz people would still be against him. Y’all will still look at western celebs and not judge them for having kids and not getting married but when he actually has a fixed plan in mind y’all still won’t acknowledge. Don’t change your mentality depending on which part of the world someone’s from.
Tony The tiger amen sister! Preach!
totally agree
Very well said! 💯👏
Preach! 👍
totally agree with this!! OMG people should see and read thiss
Over the years of being EXOs fan, I’ve come to respect them more as artists and seeing how much they’ve evolved makes me happy. This interview is very heartfelt and I liked how open they were with their thoughts. I used to be a crazy fan girl but as the years went by I think I would just like to see them happy. Like Baek said that they had to keep showing a new side of them or they would lose their charm. They’ve never really lost their charm since I first got into them.
I love you, exo. Thank you for your music and your personalities💕
Saranghaja!
Edit-*I don’t mean crazy...like crazy crazy
Totally agree! Keep that up!
Actually, I believe that their music is only getting better. They look more and more attractive with every new comeback. And their choreos get more and more interesting and beautiful. Aging like fine wine indeed....
Pili Redondo I agree with you 100%
K-pop Twitter 2020: OBSESSION is the No.1 most mentioned K-Pop song in the world! Congrats EXO!
Can we talk about how the amazing interviewer touched Baekhyun at 33:52 and he reacted so naturally about it. The humility of the members is astounding. Baek just turned to look at her as if she was a friend trying to get her attention.
I noticed that too. He wasn't startled at all. This interview really felt like home
I kept replaying that. I don't know why i find it cute.
The credit also goes to that woman for making each and every one of the member comfortable. She included everyone, filled in gaps, talked to the shy ones. She was really good❤️
Compare this to Ellie’s one

Ellie’s one: they are still teens
This one: they are like 40s

Time flies and treasure the time being with them as an EXOL💝💝
Look at Chen always being the warm cheerful man he is~ he've been providing us with much love and positivity throughout the years :(( hope everyone will remember the beautiful him and what he've done for us all these years and start to think about him as a human too, love and support his decision please :(( he deserves to happy only, let's not ruin the whole thing, let's not make the beautiful memories of ours fade away as if it never happened and let's create new ones instead... Let's love 🖤
I became an exo-l this quarantine and because there are a lot of free time I am quickly drawn to them, watched a lot of their mv's, funny videos, shows, interviews, and reality shows too. It may sound fast to me to tell because it's only been four months but EXO made a special place in my heart considering that I'm new into k-pop last December and an ex-basher of the idols, I am now reflecting that k-pop is music/art that is appreciated and not being bashed because of the language and what I really like about it is you get to know what person they are, and for me I answered myself why others really love kpop more than music but it's not only rainbows and sunshine there is also the dark side of it and for me it's being obsessed with those idols, feeling pf the fans that they own them and it literally hits in this interview that some forgot that they are not only idols but humans too, i feel so sorry for those 'fans' who sees their idols as their bf/gf or someone they own I pray they will be enlightened and sees the truth. As for me when I was new into kpop I also dreamt of it but thankfully now I am guided and EXO is not an idol i need to praise and make a cult but is my friend, their music is my comfort, and their love to me as an exo-l (and other exo-ls) is my added strength :)
OMG same, I've become an EXO-L this quarentine, and I feel you so much. K-pop is more that I thought, I didn't wanna dive in cause of the toxics fans whom forget the are humans, but now I just love them so much and want them to be happy, I don't see them as my bf I see them as artists, friends, nice human being with a lot of talent. I was a fan of Chen but didn't know EXO and now that I'm into it it makes me so sad that it's so hard for them to become happy and free, it's been so long since he last apper and just maesme worry if he's doing okay I wish we could know how hw feel in love and how does it feel to become a parent. They are all in ages to create familys even more in korean culture that people tend to marry young. It just break my soul that they have to hid such an important side of their life and even feel sorry about. I just wonder how much there is that we don't know YET. Maybe he's not the only one in a relationship and I would love to suppert their love, that's happines and I just want them to become happy.
welcome to the exoplanet
omg same! after 2 months of watching their videos, I finally had the chance to buy Suho's Album "Self-Portrait". The album is such a masterpiece, a work of art. So this is EXO, the talents are just overflowing. Soon if I'll have more money, I'm going to buy every single album and every single products they endorse. I wanna be rich to support EXO with all my heart.
@@ExcelwithNomel i'm slowly building up my collection and i'm super proud that I bought them w/ my own money, wishing for youuu😍
xlkslb ccdtks we’re going rich together! Let’s do it for our dreams and for EXO! WE ARE ONE!
this is coming out at such a good time. after all the recent stress it’s nice to relax with this
nobody is apperciating this woman she's so good at making the interview comfortable and flow smoothly love it, it was so fun to watch all the membres taking role on talking it's feel so comfy
She’s so sweet but the interview was kinda of boring tbh and you see the members cut her off a lot cuz she drags things too long also baekhyun was yawning
People may not appreciate this interview because in general nowadays people have really short attention spans, so they prefer short bursts of energy instead of what is shown in this interview. In this interview its like the interviewer is trying to get more detailed answers, also more of the members have an input, whereas in other interviews, its a few members who do most of the talking.
@@NS-sc1vl exactly what i wanted to say, like last interview it was only suho, chanyeol who were talking but here we got all them talking it was more enjoyable the membres even kept on cutting her off because their were engrossed in conversation
Stacy Nam is amazing. She's close with all SM artists and she's done interviews with a lot of them
reading exols comments just make me feel so happy and lucky to be part of this fandom I feel it's like the most mature and grown fandom ever you guys are so amazing and supportive love you so much you made my day please keep loving our members and be healthy .🖤🖤
Much love to you. We are one. @loey luv
We are one
Awww ;u; we are a family! this love will last forever ❤❤❤ we are one!
aww your comment is so sweet😍
So happy to meet someone like you. But I got to admit that not everyone in our fandom are mature. I'm glad that here, there's a lot of mature comments.
I am crying, crying, this is how idols should behave, that’s the reason why you are loved. To be honest, I never consider myself as full pledge fan to any group nor singers and artists I only appreciate them with what they do and how they do it. But you guys made me want to look back on your journey and know each one of you more. Chanyeol and Sehun might be my biases but each of you is making difference in my life. Each of you have the character that doesn’t make me want to choose as the best, as a group you are strong and I feel how familiar you are with each other and how you are as family. Effective December of 2019, I am baptizing myself as full pledge EXO-L who can’t have a day not seeing and listening to your photos, videos and music. And you made me want to learn how to read and speak korean more enthusiastically, to think that I have been a kdrama fan for years settled reading subtitles and now, I wanted to learn your language in order to communicate with you guys if I will get that 0.01% of meeting you all in person. I am looking forward that EXO Planet will visit all the continents to meet and have fun with EXO-Ls around the world. A bigger stage that will leave memories to everyone! #iheartexo #weareoneexo #exolove
Miss G OMG straight to the ❤️feel the same!!
I understand you, I become to read about music, becouse of them. To learn about their vocals perfomances, and I'm practicing my Japanese skill because of their CBX albums.
This is like my story..ive been a kdrama fan for so long before crossing over to kpop coz of D.O. i also want to learn korean coz i wanna communicate with them if ever that time comes. Istg i will watch their concert this 2020! (Hope theyll visit PH this year 😊)
Miss G awww I can relate on you , Im new to Exo as well (Nov 2019). Im not a kpop fanatic nor a basher before yeah I knew k-groups name and I knew that Exo is one of the well known group in the industry but nothing more. As I am a big fan of an actor I only focused watching Kdrama and some variety show. And it happen that because I saw one reality show (Roommate) of my two favorite actors LDW & SKJ and watched it and there you go Chanyeol happened to be one of the cast. At first Im focused with my two fav but little did I know chanyeol kindhearted attitude got my attention too. I got curious of what he does currently and I found myself watching some clips about him. Chanyeol is the first Idol I fall in love not knowing how multi talented he is and dragged me to love his group too. I started to watch their MV’s and listen to their music. I did reruns their shows, guesting and previous concert. You will see how these group genuinely love each other. Each member has their own charisma and characteristic that will amaze the fans.Chanyeol is my ultimate bias but all the member is a bias wrecker too. In watching a kdrama Im ok reading subs I guess Im not born with a bilingual tounge - their language is really hard for me. But this doesnt stop me loving their music struggles are real for an international fan but theres a lot of way to understand them : ) .And I dont have any talent in singing but starting to learn even only their song pronounciation just to to sing with their music. I even wishing to attend to their concert just to see these amazing and talented groups , I hope. And I guess once you love this group you couldnt turn your back instead youwill learn to love them even more.. #Exo #ExoisExo #iheartexo #AlwayswithExo
This was ME nine months ago!
Welcome to the fandom Eri!!
I absolutely love this interview. EXO’s happiness is an EXO-lS first priority because as long as EXO’s happy we are happy .
I’m annoyed at the fake EXO-L’s who completely ditched Chen and gave him hate after he said he was getting married.I am still supporting Chen as I’m happy for him .Im also supporting LAY as well as even tho he isn’t with EXO right now he’s still apart of the band .
I’m a new EXO-L I’ve been an EXO-L for 3 months now and I’m trying to watch as many EXO interviews and get to know a lot more about the boys .
Also I can’t believe that some people find this interview boring like it may be long but it’s still interesting plus it’s actually kind of refreshing to see EXO acting more serious and BAEKHYUN being mature .
EXO's happiness is Exo-L's first priority. As long as you're happy we're happy! ^^)"♪♥
. WE'RE REAL #EXO-LS WILL STAY SUPPORT KEEP LOVE #EXO FOREVER !! #WEAREONE. #Ot12 #EXO #Chen'sprincess
you said what was on my mind
Agreeee
Alternate title: Baekhyun being a philosopher for almost 35 minutes
(jk they're all deep in this interview, really good questions and nice flow, thank you iHeartRadio!!)
Does anyone else have the urge to pat Jongdae's head everytime the camera focused on him? HE, a good boi
I know right?
Right on the start he was sooo unconfortble..
I just want to wrap him up in my arms and give him a warm hug.. and tell him that we love him and never want him to leave EXO
Meeeee ❤️
Eris: Our babies grow up. I'm crying. They are so real and so mature in this video.
EXO: We are a family (You can really tell how close they are)
Thanks to iHeart for asking those amazing questions. Especially to us these days, this video's appearance is very meaningful. Eris love them not only because they are EXO. More importantly, it is who they are as individuals. Their hearts to Eris are always so sincere.
EXO is not EXO without anyone in 9 people. We support every member.
To Haters: They are taking care of each other, not you. Please watch this multiple times and think about it. Are you really going to ruin the name of Eri when they trust you so much???
Best to all the loves in this world. OT9 forever and EXO + EXO-Ls (Eris) = ONE (Do Not Accept argue on this, Thank you)
Because what the members need right now is not to rest, but to travel together and creating memories together. -Baekhyun
We just want to enjoy instead of focusing on the scores. We just want to he happy and out fans to be happy too. -Kai
EXO doesn't need to prove anything because they already are a proof itself of the best group ever!
Jongdae: “When I first debuted, I’d worry abt not making mistakes (onstage)...But now, I think about how much I’ve been able to make happy memories that the ppl watching can cherish...I think now I think more about the happiness of the fans."
None of you deserve him. I hate every single one of you who may cause or have caused him getting hurt. I hope you never find happiness in your life.
It is true that those people who've hurt Jongdae doesn't deserve him but it's not right to wish that they can never find happiness in life because if we do, there would be no difference between us both
You can stop to be Exo l if u can't feel happy about the news.
Eh lo pulang lewat mana ? Hah ? Hati hati lo ye lewat depan rumah gue. Chen keluar, santet gue melayang ke lo
You shouldn't be Exo-l
Firza Aulia njirr bar-bar 😂😂😂
They were so cute when they talked about who will win if they fight with their powers. It was so funny when Kai asked: " Are we really going to be this childish? " LOL
This interview was so personal and comfortable.
I like it when Exo teases each other because you can feel how close they are.
Exo Fighting!
I will always support you.

I really love this interview. It's like letting us see a different side of EXO: matured and deep. A simple and very laid back interview but the content is so sincere and raw. Not the typical funny interview they've done in the past, this gave me insights how they really love their craft and are all doing their best to make themselves and their fans happy.
I just don't know why some fans want Chen out of the team. Shame on you! Come on guys! Grow up, leave him alone! Just because he's getting married and will be having a family soon means that you can drag the team down. He shouldn't be treated this way. If you are a fan, you will still support him!
Since I'm a really picky person it took me months to start supporting them as an EXO-L. I've joined the fandom during this (OBSESSION) era. It started cause of their amazing music, but then I saw the amazing human beings these guys are. The 9 of them are EXO-L's biggest pride and once you get to know them, you realize why their fans never leave them.
We are one, EXO 사랑하자 ♡
And... Yes, I wasn't a k-pop stan before them.
I joined during Obsession too! I didn't know what kpop was before too. I found them through their dramas and osts❤️
I found the group through baekhyun and checked out their music but fell in love with their personalities
Yo también, escuchaba mucho kpop antes pero ningún grupo llamó del todo mi atención hasta que los conocí a ellos, ahora mi amor y apoyo completo esta con EXO para siempre❤😊.
Kai : You can't grab onto me,cuz i can teleport.
Chen : So basically you are good at running away.
Why do i find this so funny😂😂
Jongdae wants Jongin to fight like a man. 😂
LOL.. 😂😂 Maybe Exo's inside jokes? 😂
Nini is Jongdae's baby hahahaha its either he really want to tease him or its an inside joke. I love themm my jongbros
I'm so overwhelmed by this interview.. It just feels like a healing time with EXO.. I can feel how they have grown up and their bond together is for real like a family, how they fuss over their superpowers or tease each other saying chanyeol is making stuff up.. this is how family behaves with each other real brothers ..
But Sehun, what do I do with this baby, he was busy looking over workman manager than focus on the answers hahaha ..
I love the EXOL fandom too, it has given me so many irreplaceable friends in my life.. I hope EXO finds their happiness in their personal lives too and they share it with us . I hope Chen has a beautiful future with his loved one and little one.
Also I hope we exols keep loving and supporting these precious humans till the end of time.
We are one!! EXO Saranghaja ♥️
Nilanjana Mullick YES LET’S LOVE EXO NO MATTER WHAT❤️
Sehun want to cut his cut his salary for a minutes nap😂
I had this dream last night where I talked to Chen and told him that exols will always love him and support him, and that he shouldn't stress or worry about it, that we would always be here with him. Then I woke up realized it was a dream and wished I could tell him that in real life aAAGH
maybe he had a dream where a fan of his told him all that in his perspective :)
EXO❤🍱🧡😚💚🖤💖👉🍷☕♥️💝🌷
I had dream too about Chen, i saw him smile widely seeing us and told us that he's okay. I just about to cry and he told me don't cry with brightest smile on his face😭😭😭🥺
@@comeonn1326
I wish his smile shines forever !
@@layciehazel6305 Hope it actually happened!
I have fallen in love with them even more, found them in 2023 and this is first complete interview of exo that i am watching in 2024❤
31:10 I die for the way he says 'pretty', haha. iHeart did a great job with this interview. As an EXO-L I appreciate the knowledge they had on our boys. I feel like they have all realized fame, being an idol, chart records don't really matter. I feel like they are focusing on genuine happiness and being a human. Like lil Chennie getting married! We will always support you. Love you EXO. :)
This whole interview had made me very emotional. To how they expressed their words and themselves make me wanna cry. Aff.. I miss being that crazy fangirl I used to be when it comes to them. For years of being their fan, I've realized a lot of things about them. And with this interview, I've come to know them more. The fact that they've realized that those achievements they've had for the past years don't really matter as long as they could create memories with us and just be themselves have touched my heart. Gooossh... Cheers to those EXO-LS who chose to stay with EXO and continue supporting them despite of all the challenges that have gone through our way until they still can. I love y'all 😘❤️
Ikr...
Me with teary eyes watching this whole interview....
Even when they are laughing...
Am also laughing but with teary eyes...
They have been through sooooo much things to be what and who they are now..
I just pray for their happiness now and forever, despite of all the hatred threw to them, i want them to know that there are more fans out there to shower them with happiness...
#AlwaysWithExo
I've waited 2 years from the last for another iHeartRadio interview and in contrast to the first being lighthearted, funny, and playful (which is fun, I love Ellie for that) I appreciate Stacey Nam for asking deeper questions so we could really see members think and answer honestly from the heart. Both interview types are amazing but at this crucial n sensitive time with Jongdae getting married with haters flocking from the woodworks the fandom really needs this. Thanks you and fighting EXO-Ls 🙌
❤💪💪❤
@@boiji2you431 of course dear. That was the greatest opportunity for EXO-Ls. Actually as true EXO-Ls we should understand them and respect their decisions and don't bother them.
I feel so proud of ma boys. I'm alway here with them no matter what.
As a Chen stan, here is what I have realized. After all these years, despite being known as a loud beagle of the group, and someone who takes care of everyone; he may have had his own world that prevented him from having more time to bond with other members. I kind of relate myself to this, as most of my life I am one. I teared up with Chanyeols description of Chen and Sehuns message to him (29:57 onwards). They really loved each other after all. Proud to say I stan the right family.
10:38 Q: Is there anything still that you would like to achieve as a group?
Kai: As a group instead of having a goal in mind what we want, to be honest, is for us to all be happy while continuing as artists, continuing together happily with our fans is our dream.
Chen, smiles...
They are so precious. Let's stay together, let's continue together happpily^^
When I became a fan of EXO, I promised to myself that they're the only group that I will love this much and I'm glad even after approaching 9 years since their debut, this remains to be the absolute truth for me. I do end up listening to many groups and soloist but at the end of the day its always EXO for me. It may be hard to understand how can someone feel such deep connection with a group of people we don't know personally, but I think it was enough that they had never failed to show us their sincerity. We don't know EXO beyond what they have shown us, but we dont want to pry more. We have witnessed their passion for what they do, and has worked very hard despite all the odds going against them. For me, these things are what's most important and in return, I want them to be able to live happily in their personal lives. I will only support EXO's decision like what I have done in the past. To all exols out there who feels the same, I hope we can all come together to show unity especially now that our fandom is in a state of disorder due to a minority of people causing an uproar. Just like how EXO members are a family, we too, are a one big family. We must not scatter so we can prevail at the end. Let's love for a long time. ALWAYS, WE ARE ONE.
WE ARE ONE FOREVER 😭
Subrang haba darling😂😍❤💪💪💪
LET’S LOVE FOR A LOOOOONG TIME!! This comment made me cry ㅠㅠ
From the begining *BAEKHYUN* is a whole mood....He makes around people of him feel comfortable....And they all laughing including the MC girl ( *STACY* )....He also such a cutie... He really look so cute when he smile...I freaking love it...😍😘😊
And his hair with those colour a sweater,just made him more look sweet and cute😍
@@sehunnieismyoneandonly5561 That what I thought....He look really cute with those white hair...He look like an anime charater just like Chen say at that interview...😄😆😊🤗
I hope that SM can really understand this interview and fight for Chen because 5 months have already passed but Chen is still getting hate the members have already mentioned how much they are important to eachother I hope that after they all finish their military service SM would give them vacation with out any cameras
They already have gone through so much from loosing their brothers to getting hate for nothing please exo stay strong and stand together your fans will always support and love you
We don't care if you guys are at top or not what matters for us is your mental health and happiness
#Weareone
Jongin was so good at this interview he said all he wanted and he expressed himself fully
also i can see why everyone always talks so highly about suho like he really seems like a person who's easily admirable because of the energy he gives off like idk if that makes sense but like basically i mean he seems like a really respectable and super good guy who deserves to always be given love 💞💞
Im an ARMY but I really love EXO's song Obsession.I actually was among the first to view it the day it was released.Very good music.
Thabks for the support♡
African Vante
Exo and bts make really different but both amazing and high quality music! I love it 😍
Me too.. I am an ARMY as well and I really like EXO's music and personalities since a long time..... As a die hard K-pop fan I really wish to see them perform as they are wonderful singers.Hope they will be more and more happier.now-a-days These people make me smile as BTS do.may be I will turn into a EXO-l in a few days.
Can I just state how much I love this conversation. It's full of love exactly how it should be between ARMY and EXO-L :)
One of the best interviews in the kpop history ever (national and especially international). It’s refreshing to hear their thoughts and feelings about specific topics and how they grew from trainees to members and then to a big family.
I like how Sehun said at first he didn’t understand the members but with the time how he came to understand to value all of them, how they depend at eo and how he became thankful to them. NOW WE ARE A FAMILY. That is a process and not how every groups claims that they are like family from the beginning but you know it’s not true cause you see that some members don’t even get along well. People forget even the reality that they firstly are workpartners and that they probably will have a lot problems with eo before they click right.
I like that they are honest about this. Like Chanyeol said that he became really close with Chen last year. They were good friends and did hang out and did have fun together but sometimes it needs a deep conversation or smth.else to be more close and to be bonded.
