EXO is my Ult group in all of kpop…Baekhyun my bias and to me .. my favorite singer in kpop! I am a multi stan..as there’s so many great Kpop groups out there!
Welcome to EXO, where you will never have 1 bias ever. This is someone who was brought in by Lay back in the day and has Sehun and Baekhyun as ults of ults but can’t helping biasing all 9. 😊 They’ve got great music and are fun to watch. We currently are getting treated to 8 of the 9 members doing some Rover fun on the EXO channel, so if you wanted to see that, it’s the most updated content for them! They have been getting together to do games and content for each of the solos starting with Xiumin’s solo last year.
Thank you! I honestly don’t think I’ll have just one bias here (I don’t have 1 bias in most of the groups I’ve been exploring ) I might end up hogging 2 or 3 lol Also, thanks for telling me about that! I’ll check it out to see more of they’re dynamics! 😊
Kyungsoo received his first acting lessons in his company "SM Entertainment". The teacher noticed that he really has abilities, talent and that the desire to engage in acting is not a little important. In South Korea, idols who started acting were not treated very well, "the stereotype that idols have no talent for acting". But it was Kyungsoo who changed everything by breaking all the stereotypes with his talent. He was able to prove to everyone that he is a full-fledged Do Kyungsoo actor, and not just playing an idol from the EXO group. He has quite a few roles on his account and the filmography is being updated to this day. While Kyungsoo served in the army, he became the most anticipated actor in Asia and the expectation was justified. Immediately after his return, he starred in 3 projects at once, two films "not out yet" and one drama "bad prosecutor" which was released recently. For the movie "Swing Kids" that interested you, Kyungsoo learned to tap dance and learned the North Korean language in just a few months. Also doing group activities in parallel, because the group and members are always in the first place for him. PLEASE REACTION TO D.O. ACTING PRODIGY.
Do Kyungsoo is just an incredible person that I will never stop admiring. At first glance, the album, the songs and his vocals may seem simple, but in fact it is not so at all. A large range does not make you a better vocalist yet, because another important role is played by the "technique", which Kyungsoo undoubtedly has great. He has such control over his voice that he makes all the transitions from low to high notes completely smoothly and even seems to make no effort. Quite naturally, during a song, it can change its timbre from incredibly sweet to sexually rude and sound simply amazing in each. Kyungsoo is one of those few vocalists who can make your heart flutter. / This album is something unique that Kyungsoo has put his soul into. He himself wrote the lyrics for the title song "Rose", and also took a direct part in writing each song. He learned to play guitar while still serving in the army, studied independently and played each of his songs from the album to record. He has recorded songs in several languages "Korean, English, Spanish" which not everyone does. PLEASE REACTION TO D.O. SOLO ALBUM "EMPATHY".
In order to understand the story in EXO's "Monster" MV, as well as all of EXO's content, you have to know that it's all connected, and every new piece that's introduced explains a little more of EXO's story. Each MV is like another chapter in SM Entertainment's SM Culture Universe storyline and it's all part of a larger story that also includes the majority of SM's other groups' and artists' storylines. It's like one giant graphic novel or mystery movie series. Everything EXO is involved in, and I literally mean almost everything -- including all of their MVs, the majority of their sub-sub-unit MVs and members' solo MVs, teaser videos, concert stages, concert VCRs (videos played in between sets at concerts) and choreography, as well as special content included with their albums, etc. -- is designed to help tell a little more of EXO's story. EXO debuted back in 2012, and from the very beginning their concept is that they are aliens from Planet Exo who have come to Earth with superpowers to protect the Tree of Life from the Red Forces. And as otherworldly beings, each of the members has a superpower that is unique to them. "Monster" was released in 2016, so there are 9 members in this MV. As the English lines in "Monster" say ... They're "Creeping, Creeping Creeping .... Creeping in your heart babe" "You can call me Monster (because) I'm creeping in your heart babe." "She got me goin' crazy." The song's called "Monster," so the words are about acting like a monster: "Don't be afraid, love is the way ... I'm sorry, you make me sooo craaaazzzy, you know you dooooo." So the floating watch and the car that is on fire in reverse, etc., I think was -- on top of being a metaphor in the story -- also supposed to be the members using their superpowers. And the snake, like a monster, mirrors the beat of the song, which kind of slithers like a snake as a metaphor for the way the guy slithers in and out of the relationship stealing warmth and affection from the girl, but in the end, leaving her cold and alone like a cold-blooded snake, etc. The snake is also red, which means that it most likely represents something to do with the the Red Force. If you look up the English translation of the lyrics, you will see the song has very little to do with the story in the MV. In the song the members are talking about a girl and they are telling the girl that "You can call me Monster" because I know I am bad for you and I will ruin you. I know that when we are over that I will have destroyed everything that is good about you, but I don't care because I want you so much that it doesn't matter to me. But the MV is about EXO's origin story and about the fact that they have come to Earth on a mission. Also, the majority of the choreography for "Monster" has to do with the members using their powers. Therefore, if you know what you are looking for, you will see that each move is done for a very specific reason. The X they make to represent EXO is only the beginning of the story in their choreography. For example, D.O. has the power of super strength, so during his part in the song and choreography you will see that he waves his hands and the other members are pushed away from him or pulled toward him. When you see Suho in the middle of the group and they have a hold of his arms, he rotates his body around like swirling water because Suho has the power to control water. Xiumin has the power to control snow/ice/frost, so during one part of the choreography you will see that each of the members pause as if frozen as he moves in front of them. You see Kai slide backward and forward into the center of the group while waving his arms to represent him teleporting. And when Chanyeol jumps over Lay, Sehun and Xiumin, this could be him using his phoenix fire wings to fly, or it could be showing him leaping over flames because his power is the ability to control fire. Sehun has the power to control wind, so during his parts, you will see the other members shuffle around him as if they are creating a windstorm. And when they sit on the ground with their one knee in the air and rotate their bodies, it's supposed to represent a sundial -- EXO gets their power from the eclipse and their powers are affected by planetary and solar phenomenon, so the sundial is meant to represent the passing of time and their connection to the sun. (Even some of EXO's comebacks were released on days when we had a real eclipse or other planetary phenomenon, etc.) Fun fact: At the end when Chen sings "creepin', creepin', creeping," the dance move they are doing is called The Creep, from the iconic 1990s American girl group TLC, which was created for TLC's song "Creep." So the choreographer added this dance move as a nod to a famous dance move from the '90s. You should also make note that "Lotto" is a prequel to "Monster," so when you watch their "Lotto" MV, just keep in mind that what you saw happen in "Monster" is what is going to take place after or in conjunction with the events in "Lotto". How "Monster" and "Lotto" tie into EXOs larger storyline is a little open ended, but because "Lotto" is thought to be the prequel to "Monster," I think the story starts out in "Lotto" where the members have somehow infiltrated this big gambling ring and are undercover as they work to uncover a clue or something they need in order to accomplish their tasks here on Earth. I think the underground gambling establishment is run by a gang of bad guys who are probably members of the Red Force. "Lotto" is where we are introduced to a girl who is being held captive. And ultimately, I think what EXO are trying to do is rescue the girl from the Red Force, but they are trying to do it without blowing their cover or being found out. So, that's why you see in "Lotto," and continued in "Monster," the members are fighting against the police because the police have come in to take down the gambling ring and rescue the girl, which is also what EXO are trying to do. However, the members of EXO don't want to be discovered, so they play along as if they are part of the bad guys. EXO are supposed to be going about their tasks here on Earth incognito, and humanity is never supposed to find out about EXO, so they are trying to keep a low profile. As we see in the end of "Monster," Baekhyun disguises himself as one of the police and helps the other members escape from the back of the police van before they are taken to jail and/or captured by the Red Force, etc. (However, if you look closely, the members who are in the back of the police van are dressed in red, so the ones who Baekhyun rescued may be X-EXO -- EXO's alter ego clones -- and not EXO like we originally thought. Although I'm not sure whether at this point Baekhyun realizes these aren't the EXO members. Or maybe Baekhyun is also a member of X-EXO. Just another giant mystery we have yet to solve.) You also see Lay, EXO's Chinese member, crouched in the middle of what looks like a pile of people -- I'm not sure whether these are the FBI agents, or if these are members of the Red Force -- and I think he is checking to make sure they are OK and possibly trying to use his power of healing to fix things and heal the injured. Because some theories believe that EXO are traveling between time periods and dimensions, I think in "Monster" they also might be showing how some of the members are arriving on scene at different moments in the timeline of events that are taking place in the MV -- the members don't necessarily arrive at the location together -- as explained in their Pathcode teaser videos leading up to their "Call Me Baby" comeback. For instance, in "Monster" you also see Kai standing on or near a giant pile of people as well, and he seems to be standing over them. Some have pointed to this as possibly showing evil X-EXO Kai -- Kai's alter ego clone that was created by the Red Forced and introduced in EXO's "Obsession" MV -- who has done something bad, but I think this may be showing good EXO Kai, who has just shown up at that moment, observing what has taken place. Because Kai has the power of teleportation he is the one that is in charge of bringing the members together and traveling between time and space, so I think he has shown up from a different time or place and is now trying to figure out what has happened, etc. In EXO's "Obsession" MV the members in the bright colored clothing with the crazy makeup and hair are supposed to be X-EXO and the ones in the black or dark colored clothing are supposed to be EXO. So, in the parts where they are dressed in all black in "Monster" I think this is showing EXO, and where you see them in the clothing with red accents, this might by showing X-EXO. At the time when "Monster" was first released, we had no idea about X-EXO's existence, but since "Obsession" -- which is one of EXO's most recent releases -- we have started to go back and reanalyze some of their older MVs, and it appears that what we thought was always EXO, may have been in fact X-EXO some of the time. As you can see, EXO's story is always evolving and changing, and just when you think you have one part understood, SM introduces a new piece of the story and changes the direction of the narrative. Also, in EXO's MVs when you see red light or red objects this is where the Red Force has control, and when you see blue light or blue objects this is where EXO has the upperhand. However, if you see purple or red and blue in the same scene this is when EXO and the Red Force are battling for control -- red and blue mixed together make purple. Unfortunately, as you can see, what makes EXO's storyline even more difficult to follow is the fact that nothing is ever in chronological order. So you really have to pay close attention to every detail, to even begin to make connections.
Thanks for the in depth explanation! I was a little scared to read and find spoilers but you didn’t spoil things so thank you so so much for that! Now, I’ve decided to go on chronological order with my reactions from now on, with the exception of my individual member guide + solos that I’ll do to get to know them better (which I’ll do by age order). Hopefully, even though the events aren’t exactly in chronological order, watching each MV as it came out is good for a grasp of what’s going on… I need to hurry cause I want to at least see all of their MVs before they have a comeback 🫣
Baekhyun really just have that power to grab you in! Kai is my bias but BBH is just a bias wrecker (to a lot of EXO-Ls lol). He's just that person. You will get into him MORE once you dive into his music and watch his solo MVs. Also watch the EXO ladders if you want to get to know them better and have some good ol laughs. They have a very different humor from BTS though just a head up! (they are more rowdy lol) AND WELCOME TO EXO PLANET! Happy to see a new fan!
Do Kyungsoo is just incredible in every sense. He is one of the few vocalists who can make your heart flutter and cause a storm of emotions. He manages his deep voice and sweet timbre with such ease that the same part can sound completely different "starting very roughly and ending unrealistically gently". Kyungsoo's unique voice gives each song a unique charm. I'm ready to listen to his voice as much as I want.! Even when Kyungsoo just speaks, he wants to listen and listen to endlessly, such a pleasant voice. PLEASE REACTION TO: D.O SOLO ALBUM "EMPATHY". D.O OST "BITE". D.O OST "CRYING OUT". D.O OST "DON'T WORRY". D.O MV "ROSE". D.O MV "THAT'S OKAY". D.O MV "TELL ME WHAT IS LOVE". D.O AND CHEN "WERE THE TIME". D.O AND RYEWOOK "MISSING YOU". D.O, SUHO, BAEKHYUN PERFORMANCE "MY ANSWER". D.O AND CHANYEOL "FOR LIFE". D.O AND CHANYEOL COVER "YOURSELF". D.O AND CHANYEOL COVER "BOYFRIEND". D.O AND CHANYEOL COVER "BILLIONAIRE".
Yeah Xiumin and Chanyeol are my biases along with Yixing who I basically solo stan at this point. The height difference is real and Xiumin likes his tall men lol
Definitely gotta admire how GOOD this guys are at dancing. I mentioned I did ballet BUT i absolutely have two left feet when trying to dance anything else lol I’d be tripping if I had to travel along the entire stage to get from one position to the next while dancing like they do 😅
I recommend you check out The Ultimate Guide to EXO if you want to know the group better, and the 9 individual members guides by Cesar Oh if you want to get to know each of the members. These are the best EXO guides out there at the moment, in my opinion. There is really no substitute and you really can't take any shortcuts. For example, Xiumin is pronounced like Shoe-min or Shoo-min. X in Chinese is pronounced like the sh sound in English. Although Kim MinSeok is Korean, he was given a Chinese stage name, Xiumin, because he is one of the two Korean members of EXO-M. If you want to know how to pronounce the members' names you really need to check out the individual members guides by Cesar Oh. They pronounce their name in each guide so you know exactly how it's supposed to sound. I don't really think this was the best guide if you want to get to know EXO or the members. It moves too fast and is so abrupt that you can't really gasp what it is telling you. The fact that you had to ask so many questions because it wasn't explained well enough in the guide, just shows that this might not be the best guide. This guide has way too many clips that aren't explained that only make sense if you have been a long time EXO-L and understand the joke. Sorry, I got so frustrated by the lack of information this guide actually gave you. I would have loved to explain more of the clips in the guide to you, but I think I would have ended up rewriting the whole video. I would love it if you were to check out a different guide. The ones with the most views are usually an indication that they are the best guides to watch. When a video is short like this one and they are trying to cram more than 10 years and 9 members worth of information in one video, this is usually an indication that this isn't the video you want to pick if you are trying to learn about a group.
I totally understand your point, thanks for pointing it out. I was actually already thinking of reacting to a longer group guide further down the line, and add individual guides when checking out each member. For this video, I just wanted to freshen things up in my mind so I picked a “shorter” video to get the most superficial facts right 😊 This is going to be a long journey, as you said, they’ve got 10+ years of content. I’ll dive deep, but steadily, and I’ll try not to cram too much info at once. My next guide video will be the one you suggested and individual guides will follow later on as I check out each member 🤗
If you’d like some ballads or soft music i really recommend you to listen yo their winter albums and ( wait , what if , my answer) too 😭🫶🏻 Also Chen’s and d.o’s whole discography
I agree with you about the ex K guy, for me too he never been on exo. If you want to go into some personality before some more music you can react to EXO Arcade season 1 and 2, they play games and have fun. Also the video they released in Christmas time "exo manito worthless presents" ( BaekHyunwas still in the military then), and then EXO Ladder ( season 1 is CBX only, season 2, 8 members) all of this Lay is not there, sadly. There's a show called a heart for you there is 4 seasons, they were naver and then their contract with SM finished and they didn't do more. Season 1 is Xiumin, 2 is Chen, 3 is Suho ( I think, I'm not sure) and 4 is Chanyeol. Xiumin is about the time he moved to a new apartment, Chen is busking for his first album promotions, I think suho is a travel ( I haven't watch it) and Chanyeol went camping. They all have times went you gonna be overloaded by their individual cuteness. My ultimate bias for the past 11 years is Chanyeol. He is a giant baby boy. Welcome to EXOplanet. We hope you enjoy your stay with us.
Honestly, Baekhyun, Sehun and Chanyeol have been weak spots for me since loooong ago, when I watched them from afar only, but had never checked our EXO as it was intimidating for the sheer amount of content there is 😅 I’m here now though, and I’m glad cause this way I’m not alone on my journey ☺️
Thank you! It’s gonna be a long but awesome ride, I think 😊 I’ll check out the ultimate guide first, and later do individual guides along with some of their solo content to get to know them better 😊
Hi..! Gracias por reaccionar a EXO. La personalidad de los miembros son increibles, todos ellos te van a enamorar creeme. Mi Bias es Chanyeol, el es la combinacion perfecta entre lindo y sexy ♡ Estare esperando mas videos reaccion a EXO de tu parte en el futuro.
@@kimmyhalleyreacts Don't worry ,we exols don't mind to spent so many time with EXO and who loves EXO ....so be ready and definitely it's going to be amazing journey ..once u get to know their personalities ...you will addict to it...EXO is known for having no filters or they always don't hesitate to roast each others ,they don't care about their idol image they are so humble and respected idols ...company baerly send them on variety shows ..everytime they went till now those shows are total mess ...😁 it's really fun to watch ...but they always care for each other ,they always support each others ..when someone have personal schedules they always take time to visit them ...EXO TRADITIONS are more ...like someone having solo album released they always ready to hosting or MC the ...just watch some compilations ..but i love to recommend u watch first EXO is a family compilation and EXO L's is EXO's Family compilations ....it's so heart touching videos ..if u loves crack videos Watch EXO funny moments ... Thank u ...
I know what you mean by feeling like a member of a group calling to you even if you've seen them briefly.. That is how I become an Exo-L in the first place.. I didn't know anything about kpop and someday Exo Monster dance practice just randomly popped up in my youtube recommended and I instantly became obsessed with Kai just by seeing him smirk 😂 I started to watch Exo content to see him more and I fell in love with the group as whole..Kai is still my ult but I have 8 bias wreckers 😀 My bias wrecker never stays the same,one week it is Suho the next week it is Chen etc
Having multiple biases in EXO is totally normal . We've been struggling with that as EXO-Ls, esp that they each have their own personal careers. You wil l really find yourself changing biases from time to time.
@@kimmyhalleyreacts you will love them even more once you get to know their personalities. We're looking forward to the deep dive. We're always excited to see people turn into exols. I'm subbing.
Gracias por reaccionar a Exo, definitivamente una puede amar y apoyar a más de un solo grupo❤. He escuchado a muchos grupos, pero personalmente para mí no hay nadie como Exo! Son tan geniales, talentosos, respetuosos, amables, graciosos, humildes...etc. No podría escoger a solo uno, admiro a los 9 por igual, cuando te adentres más a cada uno de ellos te sorprenderás de los múltiples talentos que tienen! 😊
Would love for you to react to "What is Love". It is their pre-debut release & beautifully showcases Baekhyun & D.Os incredible vocals & marks a kind of lovely starting point with which to begin. I appreciate EXOs big hits but i'm much more drawn to their softer R&B stuff. I also really really love their "live acoustic medley". They are just insanely talented, humbled guys & i love them. So glad to follow you on your EXO journey 😊
Xiumin is the best at the body rolls! If you’re slightly shy with male bodies, be prepared! The only one who hasn’t shown his abs is DO. Well, Chen’s were accidentally shown when the group was changing clothes behind a paper barrier. You can see their silhouettes and their heads as they pop up over the paper. Some how the paper ripped and fell down, and the guys were in different stages of dress/undress. Some ran off stage, others just kept singing like Chen who held his shirt over his chest. You’ll like Baekyun, Suho, Sehun, and Xiumin’s ripped shirt dances.
OMG that sounds so fun! I need to see that show! Hahaha I’m laughing just imagining them running away and covering up so cute! I’m not exactly shy with male bodies but it definitely depends on my level of preparedness lol Like, say I can kinda expect abs from Kai and I won’t struggle but I think some of the others might just take me by surprise 🤣
Hay un programa donde van a la playa y si se puede ver a D.O en bañador y en alguna pelicula, pero sí, en actuaciones nunca nunca lo verás (es muy tímido) y a Chen tampoco, aunque Chen si se vio sin camiseta por descuido en un concierto...
Wow, you’ve known quite a lot about EXO already…. My bias is also Baekhyun. Looking forward to more EXO, sub units and members’ solo (especially Baekhyun’s)! Of course, please check out their variety shows, EXO Ladders & EXO Arcade. ❤❤❤
Once I dipped my toes into kpop back in 2018, I got to learn a little about other groups. I’m quite happy to finally be getting truly into them though! 🤗
Me encanta que siendo Army quieras conocer a exo, mi grupo o uno de mis grupos favoritos, bienvenida y espero que disfrutes, mi favorito es D.O me alucina su voz y su personalidad me encanta, aunque de todos y cada uno de ellos puede enamorarte totalmente pk son fabulosos...
Hii..in your first EXO reaction ...i wrote a loooooong comment about EXO ...it's seems like you didn't see it yet ..but it's ok ..i told u all the details you asked about them ..if u have time just read it... Edit ; you never survive picking one proper bais in EXO ...at some points they all Baiswreking hard....it's me tired one struggle since 2015 for pick one from them ....finally i gave up since 2019 i'm a OT9 person ...
That's so true...11 years into EXO, I still can't pick my ult bias, whoever has solo activities, he will be my bias for that period 😂 and I feel bad for the rest of 8 EXO members if I pick a bias 😅 it's not wrong to have 9 bias right? 😝
lay came back with exo in 2021 for a special album, but we're not sure if he will still come back since he's not from sm anymore. He still considers himself an exo member tho
I read a thing Saturday saying a 9 member comeback was confirmed, then I saw it was for April fools 🥲 I fell for it as we don’t do April fools where I’m from 😭
Es gracioso que digas que el más adorable es Xiumin, que lo es, pero en los conciertos es a D.O al que le gritan cute en coreano cada vez que le toca hablar y al principio daba las gracias pero como no paran, pide por favor que no le digan que es adorable por qué el dice que no lo es, y si aún din querer lo es,jajaja...
Xiumin me dio esa impresión de súper adorable a pesar de ser el mayor, pero muero por conocerlos a todos y ver sus lados tiernos que seguro todos tienen. Cuando me enfrento contra ellos siendo sexys vs ellos siendo cutes, siempre es lo cute lo que me hace gritar y comienza el fangirleo así que no puedo esperar hahaha
I promise you I’m not here to fight or throw shade. I’m also not here to judge anybody, however since he was declared guilty of those serious crimes and is in jail since 2021, I just don't want to associate him with the rest of the guys. I’m here with an open mind and trying to be as respectful as possible with the remainder members of EXO, the 9 we have with us right now, and for that very reason I will not further comment on past members.
@@kimmyhalleyreacts you're right!! some exo-Ls are just delusional for me I'm ot9 but I support ot10 (tao) the other 2 left for their selfish reasons because they just want to gain enough fame by being in exo then leave and they did right when exo were at their pick and destroyed the exo members mental health and put them in pressure specially the k guy even if he turned out to be innocent I don't consider him exo he left 9 years ago some exols need to move on 👍
