The first one to notice that shattering glass 😭 I'm so glad someone did , monster is a masterpiece you should see some American producers reacting to it they were amazed by the adlibs, you need to see" Lucky one" and "overdose" the production is fire
The producers playing raw vocals & music and explaining the production is a must watch. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rhLAw8wYL5s.html
EXO's "Monster" was released in 2016, so there are 9 members in this MV. Like everything EXO does, the story in the MV is another chapter in EXO's storyline and it explains a little more of what EXO is doing here on Earth. 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." Therefore, the floating watch and the car that is on fire in reverse, etc., I think -- on top of being a metaphor in the story -- also was 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 Red Force. However, if you look up the English translation of the lyrics, you will see 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. Which could be a metaphor for EXO's connection to the heart of the Tree of Life. The woman in EXO's songs is often thought to be a metaphor and physical representation of the Tree of Life. That is why the members are always trying to save the girl or protect her, or they talk about being controlled by the power of the woman or they are worried about their passion destroying her, etc. It's EXO's job to protect the Tree of Life from the Red Force. EXO was sent to Earth on a mission to find the two halves of the tree and reunite them in order to restore peace in the world. The two halves of the tree -- EXO-K (Korean) represents one half and EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese) represents the other half -- were originally separated in order to keep the Red Force from gaining control. However, now, in order to fix all the things that are going wrong in the world, EXO needs to defeat the Red Force and find where the two halves of the tree have been hidden. Therefore, the story in the "Monster" is all about EXO's origin story and about how they are trying to stop the Red Force from corrupting humanity, while also trying to find clues to where the Tree of Life is located. Also, the majority of the choreography for "Monster" has to do with the members using their powers, so when/if you watch the dance practice and/or a live performance, 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.) 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" MV 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, 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 -- EXO's alter ego clones who have been created by the Red Force -- and the ones in the black or dark colored clothing are supposed to be EXO -- the good guys. 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 more 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 thought to be where the Red Force has control, and when you see blue light or blue objects this is thought to be where EXO has the upper hand. 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.
The build up in this rap stirs excitement. Just brilliant. My favourite EXO rap is in Forever...it builds up and then the music drops out and the rap continues. Check it out.
@@NeonReactionsPierreForever and Lightsaber has the 2 best Chanyeol's rap. Check lyric videos for both if you can. ( lightsaber has a MV but is short and cut part of the song, it was made to promote a star wars movie, you are safer with a lyric video)
If you haven’t already reacted to their live concert in Japan, where they do a trio of Mama, Monster and Wolf…its a must. The best live performance ive seen!
I've been checking your channel for the past seven days to see if there's another EXO reaction. It actually became a habit every time I open yt lol haha. I really love how you appreciates them. Thank you saur saur much. I guess I have to wait for another 7 days, right? Haha.
A good one for a different style while on the same creepy vibe is the B side Jekyll. As it was 2019 from the Obsession album when the military services began, there are very few examples of it on stage, but it is worth watching live. Like the majority of their songs, it takes on a whole other level in energy when performed live.
Yes Monster's bridge and rap part was on the Killing Voice. We call Monster the queen. It is one of the most popular title tracks. Please react to GROWL. Its the 1st song they sang in the Killing Voice. It is also their 1st blockbuster track back in 2013. This song is called the national anthem in Korea bec of how popular it was and the particular album made EXO the 1st group to sell over 1M copies after 12 years in SKorea.
I knew you'll love Monster since Obsession hahahaha it's like Monster (2016) is the mother of Obsession (2019) we love when EXO do dark concepts, it fits their charismatic nature and vocals
thanks for reaction! yes, you have heard this song at the Dingo Killing Voice. maybe even also as a cover - the song is iconic and so many groups have covered it.
Thanks for your reaction. EXO is amazing. As you say, there are a lot of harmonies going on in the background that fill out the song. Kai and Baekhyun from EXO are also members of the group SuperM. They also have a great composed song. SuperM One (Monster & Infinity). Try it. ❤🔥
The first exo song I listened to was monster this song will always have a special place in my heart❤❤EXO is soo amazing all their songs are masterpieces❤❤❤
They were called the kings of K-pop because they sing well live. They have fantastic live performances. I recommend Mom, Wolf, Monster where they sing at a concert. I’m really looking forward to the reaction to WOLF. I apologize if something is wrong, it was translated by automatic translation.
Thanks for your reaction They won many awards for the Monster I suggest reacting to Overdose, Call me baby and love shot mvs and FOREVER Live (its fire)
im glad you enjoyed monster! monster is so loved eventho im personally more a kokobop person (another bop!). seeing you seemed enjoying the rap part, i want to recommend exo - gravity. it is a b side from same album as tempo, the rap is fire! thank you for reacting to exo!
Monster is one of my favourite songs and MVs from EXO! I know it has a totally different vibe from the usual EXO main tracks but I also love the christmas Album Universe - the mv for Universe is pretty nice and i love the song. I also love Been Through from the same album. As for B tracks, I love Baby You are and Gravity. I mean, i better stop or i'll just say i love almost all of their songs!!!! Butttt you should also try to listen/watch EXO CBX!!!!! It's the sub unit with Baekhyun, Chen and Xiumin. Once again, thank you for reacting to EXO
I love this song! The Boyz has a cover performance of this song on Kingdom Legendary War and omg it's so freakn amazing you should definitely watch that if you can! 🖤
