I think Exo stayed it considering their tight schedule and from lack of sleep. Their high notes were hit almost perfectly, dancing was great, rapping was on point. Sure there may have been some 'out of breath moments' and at some points it was a bit sloppy but they are human and they have their limits...so I'm really proud of them and considering that they didn't even lip sync much of it. They done extremely well.
A lot of people are forgetting that when EXO performed at the 5th GaonChart K-Pop Awards they were in the middle of their U.S. tour. The U.S. is pretty far from South Korea so they are obviously jet lagged and to add on to that they are pretty busy. I find it funny how people are bashing them for the most pathetic reason. They were SUPER busy in February so obviously they looked tired. They do much better than American boy groups (to be honest). They dance, sing, rap, and etc. They work their butts off only to have a comment section full of hate. In my eyes I believe that they did perfect under their circumstances (being in the middle of a tour in a different continent, traveling back and forth, and practicing 24/7). Wake up and stop judging them because they did a better job than any of you haters will ever be able to do.
But I just watched the BTS and BB performances as well. And they sound out of breath as well. I don't know why they all had to perform since every group looks so tired. I hope all my babies rest well!
Even though they were tired, they still slayed. Especially Baekhyun, he really shined in this performance. His voice is so stable and also his dance was on point, baekhyun could make it as one of the dancers in exo. Maybe not freestyle dance, but he's really good.
Seriously, why did they make them fly back from US, when they have to go back like right away? Wouldn't hurt anybody if they just made a video or something. But no, they needed to perform, after almost 15h flight, jetlagged and tired from concert. I really hope they'l get some rest, cause it's painful to watch them.
+Aegyo Suga Yeah, they won 5 awards. I know, it was polite to attend personally to receive them, my brain understands. But my heart just hurts, I don't want to see one of them pass out onstage. Makes me think about other three, since they left exactly because of such strain. I'm really worried for those guys.
+A.KA. They announced USA concerts in december I think, which is the very end of the year. By then everybody's seen numbers, it was obvious how great of a success EXODUS album was. Knowing how meticulous SM is, they must've predict (or already knew) EXO will be called out for sure. That's why they made the break between LA and Chicago long enough for them to fly back to Korea. Ah, those people, making our babies work their asses off like this.
Baekhyun Nailed It. He's a real monster. I know they can sing better, but the dance just takes all of their energy, poor the boys. :( ICs here to support.
Why do I see so many harsh comments in this comment section? They did their best, they were super tired and you still try to bash them and compare them to other kpop groups. This thing needs to stop, because lately in EVERY EXO video I watch, I see hate comments or comments about other idols. You're so disrespectful.
Jazmine Perez yeah, ♥ I'm so upset about this thing because personally I don't write under other idols video about EXO, and if I don't like a performance I don't even write it, because I think it's better to shut up if I don't have anything nice to say...
I don't think it's only EXO that did a so-so job during this award show. If you guys listen to the other performances, the sound system that's being used is not fair to the artists. And from what I've experienced, the headmics are the worst kind of microphones cuz there's a higher chance of the artist sounding bad than with a handmic. Even Baekhyun, Chen and D.O sounded bad at one point or another which is suuuuper surprising considering the amount or vocal control these guys have! And yes, they looked tired as well :/
Actually they were really tired they came back from their Tour in America and they were in Japan before that if I think and and some other places so I think they did their best as always.👏 From a very proud Exo-L✊😣 💟🙆
+SwimGoood They really need a break :'( they were just in LA on the 14th for exoluxion, and then flew back to korea for this concert, then flew back for exoluxion chicago on the 19th. they must be exhausted!
+SwimGoood Yeah I was at the concert in Chicago and Kai said he was having jet lag and Sehun wasn't feeling well so he had to go to the hospital and I could tell they were tired. I hope they got sleep :(
i love the little imperfections bc it proves this entire sequence was live and they still ATE especially chenbaeksoo 😭😭 one of my fav performances of them for sure !!
All this awards show did was showcase how much kpop stars need REST. Goddamn they all looked so exhausted (other groups too, not just EXO), and no amount of makeup or light shows can mask that. Their crazy schedules are clearly taking their toll on all of them. They did so well under the circumstances, but doing well under bad conditions isn't the same as doing well in general. Why aren't companies taking care of their stars (bluntly, their money makers) better?! It's ridiculous. Good luck guys, hope they let you rest soon!
Did you see BTS's performance? They honestly looked like they were about to fall asleep, and if you watch the most recent video from BTS's channel, you can see that Jimin is sleeping in the background. Every group looks so tired, I hope that EXO, SNSD, BTS, and every other group gets to have a rest soon, whether it be just a week off, or a day.
Red Velvet Sone A lot of people on BTS's performance video seemed to be like "but they had a lot of time off recently!" Yeah, that doesn't make up for bad sleeping, eating and time out schedules. It's better than nothing at all, but definitely not anywhere near how they should be treated. All the groups definitely need better schedules if only for their health, never mind that they're human beings and deserve it!
I'm sure that when they were on their time off, they were harassed by some of their fans, which is why they must be tired. Also, on their time off, they were probably spending time with their family and friends, trying to spend every moment with them, which is why they are so tired now.
Well, so EXO doesn't always lipsync, do they? I gained lots of respect for Baekhyun that I didn't have before. The guy can nail everything while dancing like everyone else, wow. Also love how Chen managed to get back to full power singing after the initial disaster in Call Me Baby, and Xiumin obviously was amazing, but Baekhyun managed to really surprise me.
Guys Exo is on an American Tour and they had to fly to Korea(16hours) and come back to the US and they have a concert today... thats why they seem tired :/ Exo fighting! 💕
This is without auto tune and max mic sound seriously poor them but for me they sounds amazing specially Kyungsoo Jongdae and baekhyun 😍 others did good as well ❤️
I'm a lot of years too late but i just want to say that Xiumin's stable performance in this was so understated. BaekSoo was amazing as always, especially Baek, very stable vocals but Xiumin was using a hand held microphone, dancing and his voice was still really stable. Just saying. All in all, AMAZING performance from the boys as usual. EXO, saranghaja
0:37 walking up in the club with your squad lol But seriously, I’m so impressed by how stable everyone’s voices are during all the performances! I need them as my vocal coaches!
Agree, haters will always hate. We just have to stick together for our boys. I love our fandom, it makes me cry when I see people bashing on them after all they've gone through...
I wish they could just take a day to rest in a nice comfortable bed and just sleep. I just want to hug them all. They're doing a great job but you can tell that they're tired. Poor babies
They are so tired but this performance is still one of my favorites cause they managed to pull off an amazing performance! And I have to say that Baekhyun absolutely amazed me, his voiced sounded really great even if he was exhausted, he has such control! Amazing!
i don't find this too bad. as always the boys definitely tried their hardest right? i can appreciate it. as long as any artists tries their hardest, they slayed. i actually sometimes find the imperfect performances great, it shows they're not as perfect as they're marketed to be :)
They're on their American tour, literally just landed back from Los Angeles and after the award show are heading back to Chicago. They always sing live and Baekhyun's voice was already soar from before LA. Please take several seats 🛋🛋🛋🛋🛋🛋
Even though they were tired they an outstanding job as always but with all those tours not only in America but in Japan too I think they most be tired so hope they gonna take a rest for a little while cuz they gonna be very busy this year between their music, movies, OTs, and dramas.
you know what they do it from the heart - they enjoy being up there an you can tell all the expressions they make while dancing - its like its there main focus which is to put on an amazing performance
Exo is amazing ! 3 songs LIVE 😍 we all know how tiring singing while dancing is, but they did it like nothing, even if they're tired, Baekhyun and kyungsoo did really well in high notes too 😍
They've really improved & matured musically as well as live 2 of their vocalists really stand out those outfits are on point they all sound & look good the songs they preformed were also great it showed off their voices that choreo though
Exo es lo mejor de lo mejor amo el K-pop.. conocí este género de música gracias a una novia japonés q tuve fue lo mejor q me ha pasado Exo es mi grupo favorito del kpop
