I really love Exo. They are so talented and unique. Sometimes people in Korea underpreciate them just because they are from big company and having handsome looks. It's glad to see they got preciated by non Koreans. :-)
@someone most Koreans usually don't listen to Kpop idol bands and don't care about them.(hip hop, ballads, R&B and american pop, rock are popular genre in Korea.) Exo was way too famous in Kpop scene and their fandom was so big and defensive. It made non Kpop listeners prejudiced against them and other Kpop. Recently this kind of prejudices has improved a bit, since BTS successed in America.
when it comes to sing writing and sm ent, it's usually like that: idols as well as producers can write lyrics but those will then be judged without consideration of who wrote them and the best lyrics get chosen, so when an idol is actually featured as a writer too that means their lyrics were better than what the others came up with. sm is focused on producing the best music rather than the most personal music, however they do let their artists write their own sons too, Jonghyun was the best example, he even wrote songs for other people bc he was soo good at it
Yesss, which is why im so proud whenever they take part on the album, bec thats really difficult to do since their schedules are always soooo packed. Even outside the group. Also sm gets like world renowned producers and lyricists of hundreds of #1 hits.
To add the fact. Their founder also produced music for other groups and different company. They have this mindset that music is for everyone and theirs no rivalry in between. Stan sm artist
yeah that's right, there is story of famous lyricist "kim eana" made a lyrics for Chen song (cmiiw) at "cake pop" channel (1st eps-Chen eps). but SM choose Chen's lyrics instead her. and she also has write for Exo before for "Lucky".
That's not really describing our main vocals talents....every main vocal can convey feelings perfectly!! D.O. and Chen make people cry with their voices ... Chen has the most beautiful and sexy low notes and has a soulful voice too..he can sing any genre. Baekhyun and D.O. have beautiful high notes too... Baekhyun sounds amazing in soul numbers... they are perfect package.
@@bv5823 I'm not pressed but trying to be factual... what I said about them is correct. People would miss out on their talent if they think they only have 1 thing they can do... and people often actually do think our boys are just that
@@bv5823 Ok it's your opinion so I respect ,I can see your bias may be Baekhyun I dont know you are an Exo-L or solo stan ,what you said about BBH is so true. But specially about emotion part we are sensitive . Because all 3 have soulful emotional vocals ,and as @Exomake_meHorolo said Chen's lower register is the most developed one . Dont neglect Chen as high note guy as people did before , About emotions if you have ever listen to Chen's 2 albums specially beautiful goodbye album all songs of that, specially I'll be there,Sorry not sorry ,protrait of you the emotions he pouring there is so much .
Right now the only decent full group guide for Exo that I’ve seen that’s recent is Exo, a 2019 guide it’s around 30 min long. It’s not a full deep dive but it’s at least helpful and simple to understand for newcomers
That guide's intro was so good but I didn't like the rest of it that much..felt like some members were shown more and some members less..and the interesting thing it says in the guide that Suho is underrated but it also spends less time on him than the other members..
Merve Çadır yes it isn’t perfect but as far as group guides go it’s the best I’ve seen thus far. I also think from an Exo-l perspective it’s a lot different than a newbie because the first time I watched this guide was through another reactor learning about Exo and she ended up with Suho as her bias
Ikr you would think that exo would have multiple good guides but we only have a few 😔 I really liked this guide especially since it gives a good look into the members in a few minutes.
I am Korean Army, and also like Exo as they were really huge in Korea and the best vocal group that ive known of. But i did not really know this much details of history and individual character that you put into the introduction video. I do love it, but just let you know i have seem many reaction videos and notice that some of reaction youtubers do not really carefully read the subtitle or the video explanation as per they are not really use to read it while watching video. So i highly recommend to add audio explanation as you just did it to your friend and me :) Also, I love your voice tone when you explain. I can see how much you love EXO and your voice is very clean and make me focus. 감사합니다.
One of the reasons Kris and Luhan left bec SM wont give them artistic freedom. Remember Lay's first ever self-composed Promise he had to beg several times but still got rejected but he didnt give up until they gave him a shot thanks to the manager.. Even now he's doing his own SM still has to approve his works. Im just happy they get to participate in song writing. Maybe it's good to also include their latest projects in musical, drama, station songs, etc. Xiumin's and Suho's musical are fire.
I think solo collabs and musicals are really important to listen to..all members get type cast in EXO and never show all their vocal abilities including our 3 vocal kings! They all can do so much more
I love the intro you did for Xiumin. Please continue with the rest of the members! Since she likes Kai, maybe show her the Jekyll Kai focus by Mr.Destiny and also the famous Tempo Kai focus and Obsession Kai X-EXO fancam focus?
The only thing this video did was make me miss Kyungsoo 😢 of course I’ve seen these clips a million times so I hyper focused on that not sure why but I miss him
The most sweetest video i have ever seen with Army and Exol.. I just love how u beautifully introduced every group to her because she doesnt know others except Bts.
it is not just you who's getting excited whenever you have a guest reacting to EXO.. me too.. 😊😊. And I thank you for that.. thank you for this video.. regarding the guide.. it is really helpful..i like how you included the brief history of exo.. a lot of reactors I've watched are really lost on on the way..but your video, its really good. it justifies the information presented (language barrier, i cant fully explain😥). personally, 3 minutes is too short for me, but somehow, its kinda good too coz it will leave the watcher thirsty for the member..i love you Anitra... ❤️
anitra, thank you so much for always showing off our sweet exo to your dear friends! & makenna, thank you so much for being such an open minded person! the boys are incredible, aren’t they? hehe ;) also can i just say that this vocal kings edit is amazing! i cried during that clip of jongdae singing beautiful goodbye :’) man do i miss that boy so much! I MISS MY EXOS UGH anyway, this was so wholesome ❤️ on my way to watch the other videos of makenna’s reactions to the boys, wanna see her love for them grow heehee! 🥰
Wow! I love seeing new people get into new groups! I’m a baby exo-l and just got into them about 3 weeks ago! Still need to check out all their b-side tracks from their albums and get into the group more deeply! P.S I have a feeling your friend will be a kyungsoo bias......maybe 🥰🤪
I love someone mentioning Chen's low notes!!! He can sing anything and any genre beautiful.. I find his low notes the most beautiful... he's got a very soulful voice too if the song needs it. Maybe you could add more clips of covers and collabs of our 3 main vocals? I just think they're always type cast... always getting same parts in EXO songs...you really only hear another side on some b-sides. But the covers they did over the years really show a different side of them
I think she would love songs from the winter albums: "Sing for You", "Miracles in December", and "Universe". Also "My Answer", "Love Me Right", and "Electric Kiss" would be good choices.
Hello Anitra! Thank you for introducing us to the world of EXO, they are so adorable and sweet that you cannot just pass by them and not be melted! As an Army myself I do appreciate all their efforts and their talent and I would love that they would have more freedom to write their own music and do what they want to do with their life (especially when it comes to dating) but I guess that will come with time and the support of their fans (of that's what I hope at least). I believe my favorite is Baekhyun and then Suho, Chanyeol and Sehun... in that order and is not because of looks or talent but because of personality and perhaps compatibility I think (they are all talented and handsome actually). Thanks also to your Army guest and I'll see you both in your next video. Cheers!
I like the guide. Can I just request that we include of their skills in each individual guides to show their versatility. We all know that all members can sing and rap. Only Jongdae did not engage in acting except for the EXO Next Door. Also Junmyeon and Minseok are also amazing as Musical actors.
They also are great dancers all of them... you see this in their life performances. EXO has really beautiful choreographies .. especially many newer Kpop fans have no clue how great dancers they are
The Duality of Kai EXO-K: Peter Pan, XOXO, Lucky, 365 at concert EXO Planet EXO(엑소)- White Noise + Thunder + PLAYBOY + Artificial Love Exo unfair + acoustic session + lady luck EXO - Drop That + Keep On Dancing + Lucky + Run The EXO'rDIUM IN JAPAN TOKYO EXO(엑소)- LIGHTSABER + TRANSFORMER + Overdose ahaha i'm really excited .. Come on, let's show your friend and see the reaction ... I really look forward to it ..
I really like your guide though I have some suggestions: - you can insert at least a clip of their official solo activities like their acting/musical/modeling - if not much of a hassle, you can insert the title of the song or show of each clips in case they want to check out it full Looking forward to your guide!! 💖 Thank you! Oh, and you got Minseok’s birthday wrong. It’s March 26, 1990 😊 Btw, I enjoyed your reaction! Thank you also for giving her some little facts in between. So excited for her future EXO reactions
Yes please show solo activities for a well rounded picture of what the boys are capable off. People who don't know their solo stuff almost always underestimate their talents and put them in little boxes
I really love EXO so much,since then,there is no other group that can replace them,here in my Heart😍😘 They have an amazing voices and blending when they were together😎
Can I just say, I love how u stopped the video to explain topics relevant to the situation and went back so she doesn’t miss anything. U r the best person for introducing new groups n I appreciate u ❤️ can’t wait to see the making of an exo-l
Thank u for pay attention to exo... I hope you love their music. Happiness and Love is what they share and give us. Blessing for you girls! Music is love and happiness
41:24 that's Ae na (?) She's a top lyricist in Korea, she wrote lyrics and submitted it to sm for Chen's album, the song is called “flower". But her lyrics have been denied because SM picked Chen's lyrics. (He also wrote lyrics for the song, lol, you know, sm thing) ae na admitted that Chen is one of the best producer among the idols in SM. So we are changing the name of KIM Jongdae to KING Jongdae. Sorry for my bad English
I really hope you continue the guide. What you have so far looks like it would be a great asset for new people looking into the group. Idk if you had any intention of having a segment after the member introductions for additional group information, but if so then a note about Xiumin/D.O having already enlisted and other member(s) expected to enlist could be in that. That being said, I don't really know if their enlistments are vital information to include in a guide since it doesn't really affect their personalities or skills and would easily become out-dated information.
I couldn’t help but burst out laughing at the end due to the difference in Jongin and Minseok’s vibe. It went from black and leather to silk and flowers cx
Thank you so much MaKenna for being a good fan! It's very good to know that there's still a fan who is very open to explore other groups. I am an Exo-l also then became an Army then became a multi fandom. And I'm glad that I explored. Hope you'll become a multi fandom too. Lol
Wow! I really love the guide you made. So please please finish it if you have time. As all the members are coming back together soon, it's probably a good time to finish this VERY HELPFUL guide. Thanks!
Enjoyed this reaction and your friend tremendously. Please continue with your “Helpful Guide to EXO” cos all the other guides leave a lot to be desired, and with your in-depth knowledge and love for this band, I am certain you’ll do these boys adequate justice. 👍🏼😄
My notifications are broken or I would have been on this right away. I love seeing people discover the group for the first time! Accidentally seeing BLACKPINK Live is a dream come true! I would love to see you finish the guide video! I had such a huge smile on my face watching that portion of the video. I miss Min-Min! I still think you should do a complimentary video to your main vocal line video (shorter obviously) exhibiting the best vocal moments of the sub-vocalists. As much as I adore the video you made for the MVL, I feel like watching it only is short-changing new members to the fandom on the vocal talents that the group has to offer. The bonus clip is nice, but I think they still deserve even a short video of their own. I like MaKenna and hope to see her around more often. She's adorable. "Is he wearing a crop top?" - All of us when Tempo first released.
Shawna Brooks I have my EXO Amazing Vocals - All Members videos (both reactor edit and fan edition) that’s I did because they all deserve to be heard. 😊❤️
@@saywhatreacts I know you have the one featuring everyone (which I can't praise enough), but I for once would like to see a short little video featuring ONLY Sehun, Chanyeol, Kai, Suho, and Xiumin, and Lay's vocals.
Omg.. i love your new helpful guide.. u should countinue to all the members.... yes yes yes... i know from the start the u really give justice to each every members...! Pls pls continue.. i really love it.. thank u soooo muchhhhh...!! 😘😘😘❤
I loved your guide a lot!! It's short but really informative for a 3 min video. So I really hope you finish it. And I love how you introduce non exo fans to exo!!
Omg I love the guide that you made! It has all the important stuff while taking out some of the cringey parts that usual guides have. You should definitely continue making it if you can ~
The guide you started is already so good. It is informative without being drawn out. I really like it and hope you finish it. I've been recommending and linking your other compilation videos too because they are so good. I can't wait to see the finished product because I definitely will be recommending it to other reactors as well as my friends. Thank you so much for your hard work Anitra!!!
they are EXCELLENT at spanish, first time ive heard that song i was like...is there anything they can not do??? clearly they do everything perfectly...i love them
can I say that ! i love you ... your guide is impressive & i like it so much , hope u finish it ... thank you .. One of your Arab subscriber .. love you & in arabic أحبك
I hope you'll continue with the guide it looks really good 😊 your new friend is so adorable I really like her(I really like Caitlyn too of course 😁) wish my friends were open minded about kpop but only time one of my friends shown any interest to kpop was to Kai's Spoiler and Chanyeol's SSFW..
Your guide is actually great! I mean it is concise and it’s hard to get tired of it. No unnecessary clips and descriptions that only an exol may find funny and interesting.
This was fun! I'm glad you were finally able to start this series. :) I really liked the guide that you made, but I think some color added to it wouldn't hurt. Maybe having their power symbol as the background, if that would work? I think that could be pretty cool.
I loved this! Your guide looks great, I hope you´ll finish it. And I think the amazing vocals is really a SM thing, Shinee are known for eating CDs too XD
And SuJu!!! Who are considered to have the best vocals in Kpop by a lot of people... although I think EXO could be the one 😏 And Red Velvet, NCT all got amazing vocals
Did you all see what she did for us Exo-L?!? Your guide was up to date, to the point and had superb clips. Let's all hope together, for unnie to have time in her scheduale , so that she may continue her guide to Exo work * prays earnestly *
I know how famous they were before but maybe because I'm too into A1, Westlife, Backstreet boys, NSYNC and Savage Garden. A lot of high school students before talk about EXO but I really don't care about them. I just knew about them 2 years ago and I learn not just to like them but to love them as well. They were really good at dancing and singing. The vocals of EXO is insane. Most of them can sing. I really regret not putting attention to them before. ❤️❤️❤️
So far, you've done a good job for the guide! I do have some suggestions while watched along with you. It would be very clear and nice for whoever comes across your guide if you include syllable/pronunciation to words such as EXO (ex-o) as well as explain how it would be syllabling out when uses in the song or chanting, SUHO (soo-ho), SEHUN (sae-hoon), D.O. (dee-o) and etc. Or better yet if you include audio pronunciation of their names in it! As far as until Xiumin: - please slow down the speed to your slower reading speed...you read it too fast for the viewers especially foreigners and the last I've seen every guide had done the same whenever the members' name is identified on the screen - PLEASE do it individually on their picture moment. It's always confused the viewers that new to the group to try to figure it out which is the person and name - includes info that you're explaining to your friend such as what show is it/ The part that Chen sang a female key, generally just includes information that you've to explain to your friend so others would get to know that as well...
I really liked your guide, especially that you actually included a brief explanation of their storyline which I've never seen before in a guide. I hope you finish it!
I know this video is 3 years old but did you ever finish the guide because it seemed really helpful so far. Thank you for this video and for attempting an introduction video. It must not have been easy☺️❤️
Your guide is the best one i've ever seen, like wow get to know all this information took me a lot of time, this is really helpful, hope you finish it (please upload it when you finish it)
I hope you continue your guide, it looked well put together and informative so far. The only suggestion I have would be to explain what EXO-CBX stands for in the intro. You first mention it on Xiumin's segment and someone who's new to EXO may get confused. It just a little thing but with large groups like these, the clearer you can be, the better. Just my opinion 😊 Fun fact: that performance of 'Sabor a mí' was the first video I ever saw of EXO. I bet youtube recommends it to every latin american user who starts browsing kpop videos, lol. I remember thinking D.O.'s spanish was very respectable and liking his voice so much that I ended up checking out all of EXO's discography. Only a handful of their songs would make it to my playlist but you're absolutely right; even if you don't end up stanning EXO, you have to respect their immense ability as vocalists. I mean, I agree with you, even Chanyeol's singing voice is so beautiful! and he's usually rapping! (D.O.'s still my bias, though!). Sorry for the long comment! 💕💕
