This song made a huge impact in Korea as it was the song that saved the Korean music physical sales. EXO amazed everyone as how they managed to sell 1 million just a year after their debut. The song that broke the 12 year drought in Kpop music and thats why million selling is a trend nowadays... Everyone, say thank you EXO... 😏
and the "ghost" which is the lightning staff ( I don't know if that's how it called) they stated that the staff was watching them , even the staff are fallen for them.. LETS LOVE EVERYONE, HAPPY NEW YEAR...
This song has built SM an entire building 🤑 This is also called as Korea's unofficial National Anthem and is being played by TV and covered by Kpop idols till 2021 ❤️ This song also reached North Korea 🇰🇵 #QueenGrowl 👑
This song is concidered as korea's national anthem, exo started 3rd gen with growl and broke a record selling +1 million after 12 years, became the youngest daesang winners and people still cover this song after almost 9 years
As you discovered, the performance version of EXO's "Growl" is a one take video, which means that it was shot all in one take without any cuts or edits. However, although it is a one take video, this does not mean they used the very first take, it just means that every time anyone made a mistake they had to start all over again from the very beginning. While filming the one take MV they had to dance the choreography about 7 times and this was the take the director and producer decided to use. They actually danced this choreography until they physically could not do it anymore. But, if you notice, not even this take was technically "perfect" because Kai drops the hat in the middle of the dance in the Korean version and he smoothly bends down and picks it up. He needed the hat at the end. But because it was done so effortlessly that most people don't even notice the mistake, or assume it's just part of the choreography, they decided to use this footage anyway. And if you watch the Mandarin version, if you look closely, you will see Suho steps on Sehun's foot. :D. In the beginning of the performance MV you start out by seeing 6 of the members and as the camera spins around you see the other 6 members -- There are 6 members that make up EXO-K and 6 members that make up EXO-M and when they come together they are 12 that make up one group as EXO. In the Korean version, you see the EXO-K (Korean) members featured first in the two groups. and if you watch the EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese) version, you will see the EXO-M members featured more prominently. In the beginning how EXO was designed was that for every member in EXO-K there is a member in EXO-M that fills the same role. Each member in EXO-K has a counterpart in EXO-M. 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.) That's why it's worth watching both versions, because, as you will discover, there is far more than just the languages that are different. ;D However, what is even more impressive about "Growl", is the fact that they filmed 4 versions of the "Growl" MV, so not only did they have to perfect the dance in the Korean performance version, but they also had to do it again in the Mandarin version and then again in both the 2nd MV versions. And it wasn't like they could use the same footage because the Korean and Mandarin versions aren't exactly the same -- the EXO-M and EXO-K members had different parts in each of the MVs -- so that just adds another element to this. EXO actually filmed 5 different videos for the song "Growl." There is still one more video that was released as part of their "Wolf" and "Growl" promotions. It's a drama version that combines their two songs "Growl" and "Wolf" and it's like a mini K-drama that is more like a movie or TV show with a complete story and the members playing characters. Here is a link to the full "Growl" and "Wolf" drama version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sFCvZUSnuus.html. Plus, there are several iconic live performances of "Growl" as well. If you notice, the camera movements are actually part of the choreography, because the camera is another character in the performance. The camera is supposed to represent the girl that they are singing to. So that is why they are looking at the camera so intensely because they are trying to get the girl's attention. They are each trying to impress her with their moves. If you pay attention to the lyrics for "Growl," you will see they are pretty much acting like a wolf or beast, that can no longer control themselves around the girl and they are warning her to be careful because all she does is make them want to growl and grab her and possess her, etc. "I’m warning you just in case (listen carefully) It’s dangerous now (so dangerous) Stop provoking me (there’s going to be trouble) I don’t even know myself ... My breath keeps on stopping You walk towards me You smile at me Maybe you’re attracted to me too .... A dark shadow has woken up inside of me Sparks fly in my eyes as I look at you Everyone step away from her (step away) It’s going to get fierce from now on I’m growling, growling, growling I’m growling, growling, growling I’m growling, growling, growling If you don’t back away then I don’t care if you get hurt ..." etc. Some say the "girl" that EXO is always singing about and you sometimes see in their MVs is a manifestation of the heart of the Tree of Life and that is why the members are always rescuing or protecting the girl, etc. And why all their songs are about being in love with a girl or being controlled by the power of the girl, such as in "Overdose" for example. Or how they talk about knowing they are bad news for the girl but they want her anyway and they can't help it, but in the end they know they might destroy her -- as they say in "Monster," etc. etc. When you think of the girl as the heart of the Tree of Life the mystery begins to unfold even more. EXO got so good at this choreography that they were able to perform the whole thing live on award shows and music programs just like they did in the MV while singing live as well. You should check out their Beauty and Beast performance at the 2013 MAMA Awards to see how impressive they perform "Growl" live. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ycql_T6Fc9c.html "Growl" and this one take performance is what launched EXO into superstardom and it's what made them the most popular group in Korea. It's one of the reasons why the government has given EXO the title of Korea's national Idols. However, "Growl" came out in 2013 about a year after EXO debuted, and up until that point EXO weren't very well known or popular. When they first debuted, many people called them "SM's biggest mistake." Because the concept of them being aliens from Planet Exo and the fact that they were designed specifically to debut in both Korea and China and several foreign Chinese members were chosen specifically to make up their own sub-unit, etc. many people had a hard time understanding how EXO would ever be successful. The group started out being branded as SM's first failure, and they thought Lee SooMan (the founder of SM) was crazy for coming up with the group. But when the one take video for "Growl" was released, everyone began to take notice. This video was pretty groundbreaking, no group had done a one take video quite like this and it proved to the mainstream audiences that SM really did know what they were doing. Now everyone in Korea and around the world knows EXO and they have become one of the most popular groups that are one of the biggest money-makers for SM. "Growl" has become what they are most known for. EXO even performed this song at the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in 2018.
I'm done reading now where's my price????🤭 well you explained perfectly You should added my 3 second boi to😂🤘 he was desperately trying to grab tha (camera) Girl 😂🖤
@@suzyhemsworth6467 LOL your price is Free. If you're looking for a prize, that would be the love and admiration of me, EXO and other loyal EXO-Ls like you. Thanks. :D
EXO’s Growl = The first boy group sold million copy of album in 12 years of Kpop. The first one shoot Mv. The National anthem. The Nation’s pick. Saranghaja EXO
This is a legendary song in the kpop industry!!....it's been 9 years, but this song is still a hit. and this album from Growl became the first album to sell one million copies in the last 12 years in South Korea The curse that physical album sales of K-Pop musicians have lost success has been broken. The reason is, the idol group EXO has successfully sold one million copies of the XOXO album. The record is quite proud because the last K-Pop musicians to produce one million copies were Kim Gun Mo's 7th album and g.o.d's 4th album in 2001, which means it's been the last 12 years. Just when everyone thought K-Pop album sales had gone digital, the EXO group from the SM Entertainment agency sold their first album XOXO with the title track (Growl) as many as 1,007,577 copies. Thanks for the reaction guys, I will always wait for your EXO Content ❤🙏
SM won't let them produce song and refrain them to do it if they do SM won't promote them but they do involves them in writes and choreograph the songs and other stuffs but still EXO chanyeol and lay are both producer and owns a record label and almost each memebers are songwriter and actor
THIS SONG IS ALWAYS THE BEST it been so long of the there 1st album this whole album the lit the 1MILLION seller and ot12 check out there solo also there r really good pls do exo solo also next pls
Its Stray Kids where everyone can Rap.. EXO does all sing Rap and dance amazing.. Chanyeol is one of the best Rappers❤❤ Kai is one of the best Dancers EXO as a whole are VOCAL KINGS ❤❤❤❤
Yep THIS was THE song that blew them up in 2013 AND the same album that made them sold over 1million copy which brought back that record to South Korea after 12 years of no artists selling over 1M. Growl is very well known in Korea which is why it is known as South Korea's unofficial anthem :)
Since you guys like obsession I bet you'll also be mindblown by their debut song called MAMA 😏 it has a narration in the beginning that explains where they are from and their powers as well.
I highly recommend you guys to react to EXO’ s Lightsaber MV and live performance at their concert. Super lit. The songs is a promotional song for Star Wars in South Korea. They collab with disney. The live performance is super lit, i guarantee! The best concert ever. I think it was Exo 3rd concert ‘Exor’dium’ in Japan.
Growl is the song that made them famous It is considered Korea’s unofficial national anthem bc the song is super famous there Almost every kpop group has done a cover of this With this they became the first Korean million seller after 12 yrs
The fact that this MV was filmed in one shot.....2022 is coming and everyone in Korean entertainment industry know this song.....even still most of the rookie groups perform this and know its choreo....!! This blew up EXO in Korea that Koreans even say if u don't know EXO in South Korea...that means u r a spy from North..!!
Exo SC (exo subunit with the 2 main Rappers Chanyeol and Sehun) produce and write their songs. Exo write some lyrics but no always (mostly for solo stuffs). You can check Cesar Oh guides to get to know EXO better. Growl was film in 1 shot. Is the repackaged song for their first full album. Exo debuted in 2012 with the song "Mama" ( means majesty) They have 2 pre debut songs "what is love" (sang only by their main vocalists BaekHyun and D.O for the korean version (EXO-K) and Chen and Luhan for Chinese version (EXO -M) and "History". Wolf is the song that gave them their first big win and Growl just cemented it.
Hi! You can watch Caesar Oh's guides, either the group guide and individual member guides. And also, EXO:Road of Legend will help too. Thank you for reacting to EXO :)
This song will always be National Anthem!! This is a record breaking song that up until now a lot of artists are vibing with this song. You guys should listen to their live performances like the one in EXOrdiu, MAMA + MONSTER + WOLF that performance was so sick. It will be worth it!
this is a 1 take video and yeah this is one of their greatest song that change EXO history,, it's like a game changer in their career.. exo is killing it even from the very beginning thats why they are legends and they are still on the main spot even they can't promote because 4 of their members is in military service.. kings
I came across this mv completely at random in 2013. It was the first K-pop song/mv I ever saw and I was instantly a fan. Exo is and always will be my ult group.
This is a one take MV.. and since everything has been goin on so smoothly, even when Kai's cap fell, they did not retake it.. he just recovered from it.. hehhe
exo does produce their own songs sometimes, but it's more of a sub-unit or solo things because of the company policy. if you want to check out their work you can listen to exo-sc (sub unit of chanyeol and sehun, the main rappers). it's mostly produced by chanyeol, sehun and team (studio 519).
You've got a long way to go with EXO- the lives which sound better than the MVs, the solos, sub units, their b-sides are hardly filler types, then the individual guides, variety shows. A reactor said they're all like All-Stars or MVPs combined into a group. EXO is Kpop Titan. Unfortunately, their promotion is limited to Asia.
You've reached the 'Korean Anthem' the one song even the elders know. A lot of money made and nations built. The next song you should check out is EXO - Overdose. Remember EXO started out with 12 members and now it 9 members, at times you'll see only 8 because Lay is a Chinese member, political conflict between nations. *A guide to EXO, INTRODUCTION TO EXO 2020 by goldjongin (Short Version) *A guide to each individual EXO member by Cesar Oh, GUIDE TO EXO‘S LAY, GUIDE TO EXO‘S D.O., GUIDE TO EXO‘S XIUMAN, GUIDE TO EXO‘S KAI, GUIDE TO EXO‘S CHANYEOL, GUIDE TO EXO‘S SUHO, GUIDE TO EXO‘S CHEN, GUIDE TO EXO‘S SEHUN, GUIDE TO EXO‘S BAEKHYUN.

It’s a 2014 video. You can check the year by simply clicking on the title of the video. The special thing about this MV is that it’s a One Take video. Like no editing video was done here !
Growl is the first song I listen from Exo. From that day, I became exo-l.. Until now this song is still my favourite and reminded me of ot12 moments :')
Thank you both for your reactions. Always great❤️ Can't wait for your reaction to all of EXO's songs. Especially their performance on stage. They are so amazing😍😍😍
This song is old but Gold because every Kpop idols doing cover dance till this day.You guys should watch the live version, its better than the studio version.
GROWL is that song, it is and always will be Korea's national anthem. There is no one who doesn't know it and until now it'll always be covered by other people or shown in shows esp variety shows (even the korean government officials have sung and danced this btw xD). This revived the physical sales in kpop industry after the 12 years drought. Please check EXO guide 2020 or 2021 for more EXO info as a group/member. And yes there are songs in their group albums as well as solos that they write/produce. They are songwriters
Growl is the song that make exo popular. It's like the national anthem in south korea 😂 anyways check out their powerful debut song Mama, other songs like Love Shot, Overdose and Kokobop
GROWL the korea national anthem they love this song when it comes out to this day and a lot of idols make cover maybe you need to react to MaMa debut of *EXO*
Exo are the "Vocal Kings of Kpop". They all sing, even the main dancers and main rappers. In "Growl", they are wearing variations of school uniforms. Exo debuted Dec. 2011 with pre-debut songs "What Is Love" and "History". Their actual debut was in 2012 with "Mama". The mvs "Wolf" and "Growl" came right after that. Exo originally had 12 members, 6 Korean members (sang in Korean) and 2 Korean/4 Chinese members (sang in Mandarin Chinese). They all learned both languages and made a version of songs and mvs in both languages. With the growing number of Kpop fans throughout Asia, and more so China, SM formed the group this way to appeal to the Chinese fans. The song "Growl" purported Exo into an extremely popular icon group overnight worldwide...and they are very young here, fresh out of school themselves. They are the youngest Kpop group to become an overnight sensation from 2012 on...this song became viral quickly, and their vocals are what drew the massive worldwide fandom they have today. They toured the world and the States, and it was hard pressed back in 2013 to get a ticket to any concert...they filled stadiums around the world as many as 60,000 in some stadiums, 3 night venues sold out in seconds...They are the OG Kpop group that newbies are just learning about today. Today, the official group consists of 9 original members from 2011, 8 Korean and 1 Chinese member, Lay, who is currently in China since 2017 because of political conflict between the 2 countries...but he is still a member of Exo. In the meantime he has made a successful solo career for himself, and is a very well-known celebrity and producer in China, and Exo fans worldwide follow him and support him fully. Lay, along with Kai, are the main dancers of Exo Exo's concept is: They are aliens from another planet, their planet, Exoplanet. They came to Earth as teens at a high school. They each possess a superpower. The evil of the Universe, The Red Force are after them for their powers. But Exo uses their powers to protect and preserve life, therefore keeping the balance of the Universe. The Red Force wants to use the powers to destroy life. The concept has been downplayed over the years, but the storyline continues in the background, linking all mvs...theories I cannot conceive..and I'm a born and bred American who fell into the Kpop rabbit hole in 2006, so I was there with the established kpop groups of that time, and also the beginnings of Exo and Bts. Blackpink wasn't even thought of yet...but Exo hit it big time from humble beginnings..with their VOCALS....many other younger groups of today grew up watching Exo..because they were iconic, legendary actually. "GROWL" came out in 2014. It became an iconic song worldwide. And they've gained their status from then on, toured all of Asia, parts of Europe, Canada, the States, Dubai, Mexico, Australia, South America...and many other countries like Sweden, India, Russia, the Netherlands, and others...still demanded Exo visit them too. Today Exo are seasoned performers. Because they are a vocal group they have many pop songs, love songs, ballads, and are known as r&b kings. They are more laid back, old school vibes, because they can vocalize very well, their harmonies are amazing.
The song that save the album drought in South Korea. The first album to sold Million after 12 years. So proud of Exo for bringing the firsts in Kpop, too many to mention
Exo was 12 member, then 3 member left. Currently it's 9 member (Suho Xiumin Lay Baekhyun Chen Chanyeon D.O Kai and Sehun). They are really talented at producing music and writing song too. But SM agency not really support them. Most of their song are produce by others They are also successfull soloists too. Let me list what they do beside being EXO member 1. Suho ( an actor, have solo album called 'Self Potrait") 2. Xiumin (an actor and a musical actor) 3. Lay ( an actor, music producer, a CEO of his own company, He have a Lot of Album, I lost count sorry, Some of them are "Lost control", " Sheep" "Namanana" And "lit". He Write and compose all of the song there) 4. Baekhyun (an actor, have 3 solo album "City Light", "Delight", and "Bambi" 5. Chen (a musical actor, have 2 solo album "april and flower" & "dear My dear") 6. Chanyeol ( a rapper that can sing amazingly, actor, produce his own songs, have a studio and youtube channel together with rapper MQ called "NNG" 7. D.O (A super talented actor, have one album "empathy" 8. KAI (an actor, have 2 album "Kai" & "Peaces", a gucci global ambasador) 9. Sehun (an actor, he write songs too, a Dior global ambasador) And a lot more, I can write it all 😅 (cmiiw) You can also react their solo stuff too, and their live concert is the best. Thank you for reacting EXO❤
EXO Growl was stated as 2nd National Anthem of South Korea, and like almost every kpop junior groups made a cover dance of this song one time, another thing I started watching this channel like 2days ago, Now I'm stuck repeating EXO reaction videos, I love the way you analysed EXO specifically like you two aware of every single thing in MV, And I feel your appreciation to EXO, Thank you so much Nani Bros!
