Thank you for reacting to both versions! Chinese MVs will have subtitles because in China, although they use the same written language, the spoken language is not the same country-wide so they need it for those who don't speak Mandarin. Also, if you can during your own time or here, please check out What is Love Exo-M version. You're missing out on Chen and Luhan's vocals :) Great reaction!
I see, you love "What is Love" so much hahaha. D.O has a song called (Tell Me) What is Love and is a baby making song too hahaha . I don't know why they're always asking us that lol. For English subs, SM has this thing really for not putting subs on most of their MVs but so far, SM vids now have subs. Good luck knowing each of the members! I can't wait for you to listen to their other songs and watch their live performances. They are great live!!!
I'm glad you're doing their MVs in chronological order. It will help you get to know them and their progress much better 😍 Next is MAMA! Their debut song. It has an introduction to their concept.
As they progressed their vocals sounded grand. First few songs were experimental. So it sounds weird. And one more thing about exo songs are that, we found it weird , strange but end up getting addicted to that songs. Trust me
Yep history was my favorite the first time I listened to it even thought it's not what I usually listen to genre wise but it's soo catchy and unique. I love it especially luhan's misheard lyric ENJOY THE MAYO😉
The fact that this was still a pre debut song... And they were still experimenting with their style... Yet delivered a great song... Is just an EXO thing to do... The unique voice and the good looking dude you mentioned is their Leader Suho... Which you will either way find out once you check out their group guide...
OMG this reminds me of my first high school graduation, hearing the news that SM will release a new boy band, then when I was in high school they started their first stage, it's kinda weird with all their storyline, they are just aliens LMAO
This brings back so many memories, I find it a funny coincidence that in the K version you called Suho a very good looking dude and in the M version you did the same for Kris, turns out they're both leaders! Also I had kinda forgotten about Tao's edgy emo-ish look during their early days, I laugh at it (not mocking him of course) now but back then I used to think it was so cool 😂
EXO's "History" MV is supposed to be an introduction for EXO and it was meant to begin to establish their storyline and concept as a group. As aliens from Planet Exo, the members are about to be sent to Earth on a mission. "History" is thought to be about how EXO are still on Planet Exo and they are preparing to be sent to Earth. So that is why it has a very futuristic look and feel to it. There isn't a whole lot of story because it is a pre-debut MV so this was meant to just introduce the members and establish their concept. "History" is EXO's second pre-debut track. It came out about 2 months after their first pre-debut song and MV "What is Love," and about 2 months before "Mama," which is EXO's official debut, so this is more than 9 years ago. "History" is the introduction of the storyline and it explains what led up to the events in "Mama." As you see, in the EXO-K version of "History" you only saw the EXO-K members -- Kai, D.O, Suho, Sehun, Baekhyun and Chanyeol -- singing, and in the middle of the song you see them flash to the EXO-M members -- Lay, Kris, Chen, Luhan, Xiumin and Tao -- however, in the EXO-M version you see that the EXO-M members are the main characters in the story and they only show the EXO-K members briefly. This establishes how the two groups are separate and yet still are all part of one group as EXO. Both versions of their MVs may look the same on the surface, but the story is slightly different because it is being told from a different angle or different perspective in each version. You're right, what you are seeing is the Korean translation of the Mandarin lyrics, and the parts that are in English are the English lines in the song. EXO-M's MVs often had subs because SM put Korean subs in their videos to give their Korean audience more incentive to get to know the EXO-M members. (Fun fact: if you compare the English translation of the Korean and Mandarin lyrics, you will see that the songs are slightly different. Because, as the intro to "Mama" points out, the two halves of EXO stand on the same ground and see different things and they stand on different grounds and see the same thing -- they are separate groups and yet they become one, etc. Hence, their songs and story are the same and yet different.) Both groups and all the members of EXO are equally talented because that is how the group was designed. Each member in EXO-K has a counterpart in EXO-M that fills the same role in their respective group. For example, D.O. is the main vocalist in EXO-K and Chen is the main vocalist in EXO-M; Baekhyun is the other main vocalist in K and Luhan was the other main vocalist in M; Chanyeol is the main rapper in K and Kris was the main rapper in M; Sehun is the lead rapper in K and Xiumin is the lead rapper in M; Kai is the main dancer in K and Lay is the main dancer in M; and then it's Suho is a lead vocalist in K and Tao was a rapper/vocalist in M (I'm not sure how these two really work together because Tao is more of a rapper and Suho is a vocalist, but because they are the last two they are put together.) Plus, as an SM group, it shouldn't be a surprise that EXO are amazing vocalists. That is just what SM is known for. You can't be an SM artist without having amazing vocals and dance skills. That's just a fact about the type of people SM selects to become part of its company. All of SM's artists were first chosen for their vocal and/or dance skills, and even the rappers get intense training as vocalists. None of SM's rappers became a trainee because of their rap skills, all of the company's rappers learned to rap, or really became good at it, only after joining the company. That is why SM is known as the vocal powerhouse of the industry because they put a huge emphasis on showcasing outstanding vocal talent. And EXO is a perfect example of that. To understand the story in their "History" MV this is one time where it is helpful to look up the English translation of the lyrics. The song is called "History" and in the lyrics they talk about making history. It's about failing at something and trying again to make it right. So, the theory is that in this part of the story EXO made some sort of unknown "big mistake" on their planet, so they have been sent to Earth to try and right their wrongs by trying to prevent the Red Force from causing a "big mistake" or prevent humanity from allowing a "big mistake" to happen on Earth. They are trying to prevent "History" from repeating itself. And they want to make "History" here on Earth. It establishes the whole reason why EXO are fighting against the Red Force and why they need to find the Tree of Life and restore peace. They can't let whatever happened on their planet happen again on Earth, etc. However, just so you know, we didn't fully understand that was what the MV and song was trying to tell us, until several years later, after we had more context to go on after we had several other MV stories and more information. But that is why we say, if you want to try and follow EXO's story you have to pay attention to everything and you have to remember as much detail as you can about everything you have ever seen and heard from EXO. Because although you might think you understand one piece of EXO's story, with every new release from EXO, we get a little more information, and, sometimes it helps to confirm what we thought to be true and sometimes it turns the whole theory on its head and makes us realize what was happening wasn't what we thought after all. What complicates this even more is the fact that almost nothing in their storyline is in chronological order, so we EXO-Ls have to become detectives and analyze every aspect of everything any of the members are involved in to try and piece it all together and figure out where each part fits within their larger storyline. And I literally mean everything, from their teaser videos, to their MVs, to their song lyrics and live performances, concert VCRs and even some of their choreography, as well as their sub-unit and solo work. Everything EXO does is connected. To see their dancing better, check out the dance practice for "History" the choreography is very unique. They have an EXO-K dance practice and an EXO-M dance practice. And it's one of their few choreographies where the two groups are not combined because they were completely separate groups in this MV. The part of the dance where they put their hands in their pockets and shake their pants, I interpret as the nervousness and uncertainty that they are feeling as they are about to embark on this new journey as they prepare to go to Earth and also as a representation of the nerves and excitement they are feeling as they are about to debut. As you can see, even the choreography is designed to tell the story.
He said 12 is so many... I can't wait until we introduce him to NCT, 23 members. If you enjoy the R&B/Ballads you should alternate those vids with their videography. Listen to what you like. Enjoy the guide.
During their early years, they were divided. They can do all the songs but exo-k was concentrated on promoting in korea in korean language. The reason you could see subs because YES, the second part was the same song in Chinese Mandarin done by Exo-m. They promote in china and the chinese members were there.
If you like What is Love, here are another baby making songs from EXO: Sweet Lies, it's a B side track. Another one is Tell Me What is Love, it was sung by D.O and Yo Yung Jin (his vocal coach)
I've always wanted like these pants .. it'd looks so ridiculous on me .. i'd just wear it around saying that "shut up .. my exo wore thia on 2012 .. it's masterpiece "
React to "Promise"... Lay wrote the song and Chanyeol and Chen wrote the korean version of the song.....it was written for EXO-L... After 3 member's leave, scandal, a lot of fans left the fandom...it was written as a apology to the fans,thanking them for staying, and an promise for future that they won't disappoint them....it’s a very emotional and special song for EXO-L both OT9 and OT12 stans
I want to learn the choreo .. but i'm so lazyyyyy I'ce done call me baby .. then monster .. monster was so hard .. but i did it anyway now i'm so lazy 😭
The unfair treatment of his company (lee soman) leads to kris, lu, tao leave exo .. i'm thankful he made this groupe .. but he is not doing much but juat making things worse
