EXO-K 엑소케이 'WHAT IS LOVE' MV (REACTION) | Sexy AF! 

The "fetus" EXO, the vocals ever since their younger years....vocal kings indeed!

This is my national body rolling song Cause D.o and baekhyun be Killin it with the vocals

D.O. voice is always powerful. He's the master of runs in kpop

To make a long story short, EXO-K released the Korean version and EXO-M released the Mandarin version. They were subunits that would come together for performances and if you watched the Mandarin version of this song, you’d notice that they tell more of the EXO origin story! Chen and Luhan were the vocalists for their version. Three of the Chinese members ended up leaving the group for various reasons, which is why they combined the two units and became EXO :)

To think that they were THIS good at singing from the begining just blows my mind

IT's been 10 YEARS NOW, BUT EXO'S VOCALS ARE STILL THE BEST AND MOST SOULFUL I've ever heard IN THE ENTIRE K-POP INDUSTRY. And no, it's not an exaggeration or bias, it's THE PURE TRUTH. PLEASE REACTION TO EXO REALLY SAID: NO MIC? NO PROBLEM! PART 1 AND 2.

And this was just their pre-debut! They decided to introduce themselves to the world with this Teddy Riley-produced RnB gem.. I don't speak the language but trust me I know all the words to this song from how much I have been listening to it since 2014.. still slaps * insert gif: TO THIS DAY!! *

Mind you this is a pre debut video. EXO flexing their main vocals Baekhyun and Kyungsoo (exo k version) while Chen and Luhan (no longer in he group) in exo-m version. 😚 they are legends!

EXO is my very first and only favorite band in the entire industry. EXO is not just my only love "all these boys are so dear to me as a family".

Y'all need to listen to What If, it's one of exo's best r&b tracks.

Once again, I am convinced that EXO is the biggest diamond, not only in the entire history of sm, but in the entire history of the K-POP industry. It's been 10 years, but I haven't seen a better band, especially with regard to vocals. PLEASE REACTION TO EXO SMTOWN 2023.

Exo was killing it at debut already. Kings!!

Damn my Baby Baek’s my bae baby bae baby babaeeee is the death of me. My God I should’ve known that one day he will sing “All I got” back then🔥🔥🔥

Baekhyun will be out from the military on 5 February!! That's less than a month!

This has always been my fav kpop song

The national men's group of South Korea. They became the first artists in 12 years who managed to sell more than a million copies of the album. XOXO was named "Album of the Year" at the 2013 Mnet Asian Music Awards, making EXO the youngest male group ever to receive this award. They performed at the closing ceremony of the Universiade 2013 in Kazan. They performed at the opening ceremony of the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon. They sell out concert tickets in 0.2 seconds, which is a WORLD RECORD TO THIS DAY. They received the first Prime Minister's award at the 2017 Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards for their contribution to Korean culture. They were included in the TOP-50 most popular male groups in the world of the last decade according to "24/7 Wall St" (EXO took the 10th place, becoming the only representative of Asia, indicators in Billboard, Spotify and Wikipedia were taken into account). They were included in the Guinness Book of Records as the group that received the largest number of daesans at the MAMA Award. They are the security ambassadors of Seoul. / EXO is my very first and only favorite band in the entire industry. It doesn't matter how many more years pass, EXO were, are and will be Kings of K-POP, Kings of Vocals, Legends and Discoverers of the 3rd generation. EXO, even after 10 years of career, are the most popular, sought-after and highly paid SM group. Yes, because they are their best band in the history of the company. EXO is the only band with such a variety of high-quality music, choreography and visual effects. PLEASE REACTION TO MV EXO: WOLF. MAMA. GROWL. TEMPO. LOTTO. POWER. HISTORY. DECEMBER. MONSTER. UNIVERSE. OVERDOSE. LOVE SHOT. LUCKY ONE. KO KO BOP. ELECTRIC KISS. COMING OVER. DANCING KING. SING FOR YOU. CALL ME BABY. LOVE ME RIGHT. DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING.

"What is Love" actually features the 4 main vocalists of EXO, so, in the EXO-K (Korean) version you only hear D.O.'s and Baekhyun's voices, but when you watch the EXO-M (Mandarin) version you will see Chen and Luhan as the singers. These are the main vocalists from their respective groups. However, in the MV you see most of the members. The rest of the members aren't singing the song, but they are helping to tell a story. Although "What is Love" is a love song, the MV really doesn't have a whole lot to do with love. The storyline in the MV is all about EXO's origin story and it is showing the members as they first arrived here on Earth. This was their very first pre-debut MV -- about 3 or 4 months before their debut with "Mama" -- so it is setting up EXO's storyline and it's showing the members. This was before most people really even knew who EXO were. EXO's second MV, was "History" and it was also a pre-debut song. "History" came out about 2 months after "What is Love." If you think D.O.'s and Baekhyun's version was amazing, just imagine what Chen's and Luhan's version is like. It has a slightly different feel because it has a sound and style that is designed to appeal more to a Chinese audience, but it's no less amazing. There's a reason why EXO has 3/4 main vocalists. Now to explain the story in the MV: As you may have noticed, you see an eclipse is happening. EXO's whole concept and storyline is that they are aliens who came to Earth to protect the Tree of Life from the Red Forces. And as otherworldly beings, the members each have a superpower that is specific to them. The eclipse is what controls EXO's powers and it's where they get their power and strength from. So, that is why you see in most of their MVs that they focus on the moon or show an eclipse taking place, etc. EXO are aliens so staring at an eclipse or the sun doesn't affect them in the same way. After all, they come from Planet Exo, which has two suns. LOL In the scenes were you see D.O and Baekhyun singing that is thought to be showing clues to EXO's storyline, such as the light that is streaming through the holes in the walls is thought to be representing Baekhyun's superpower, which is the ability to control light, and the fact that the room they are in is kind of disheveled could be after D.O. used his power of force. You also see scenes such as Chanyeol (a member of EXO-K) looking at a drawing of a unicorn and comparing it to a hieroglyph of a unicorn on a piece of rock, which is thought to be something to do with the fact that he is searching for Lay (an EXO-M member). Lay's symbol is a unicorn, which represents his power of healing. I think the rocks are clues that may have been left on Earth or on Planet Exo from ancient times. (You will see these symbols all over the place in EXO content because each member has a symbol that represent them -- as you discover in their "Mama" MVs -- and their symbols are often used kind of like a call beacon. When one member is looking for another member, or they want to send a member a message, you will see a version of their symbol appear. It's a way to know who the message is coming from and it's designed to make everyone aware that it's something important that you need to pay attention to.) Think of the message on those rocks like Egyptian hieroglyphs. Therefore, I see it as EXO has to find the clues that someone has left from the past. Just like in real life history, often ancient civilizations have left us clues to tell their story in order to make sure whatever happened to them doesn't get repeated. Therefore, I think someone has left EXO clues, just in case sometime in the future the Red Force was able to gain power once again. Hence, why in EXO's next pre-debut song "History" they talk about not wanting to allow whatever happened previously to repeat itself (i.e. they need to stop and prevent history from repeating itself. And they need to learn from history by discovering clues that will help them understand what happened in the past, in order to figure out a way to make sure the same mistakes aren't repeated, etc.) And because it is thought that the EXO members can travel between time periods and dimensions, this could also mean that the clues could have possibly been left for them by their future selves. The future EXO members have traveled back in time to leave a message for the present day EXO members in order to help them figure out how to stop the Red Force and prevent whatever happened in the future from taking place, etc. The clues I think are something they need in order to find the Tree of Life and to do whatever needs to be done in order to create peace in the world once again, and free humanity and EXO from the control of the Red Force. Which will allow the Tree of Life to be whole once again and be at peace, no longer being used as a potential weapon by the Red Force, etc. In reality, I think the Red Force could be thought of as a symbol of all the things society is dealing with in the world and all the bad things that need to be fixed, such as war, hate, destruction of the environment, corruption, etc. I think SM's wide-reaching message within their SM Cultured Universe and EXO's storyline is the dream of world peace. Therefore, I'm not sure we will ever see an official end to EXO's storyline or the SM Culture Universe story because World Peace is such a lofty goal that will never be accomplished fully. So in other words, EXO's story may be an open ended one that never gets solved. I think the whole point of SM creating this storyline is because it's supposed to be a social commentary on what real life society needs to learn and do in order to create a better world. Think of everything in the SM Culture Universe, and EXO's storyline, as a metaphor for what is happening all around us every day and what we have gone through in the past and will go through in the future if we don't learn from our mistakes, etc. In the MV for "What Is Love," you see clips from some of their pre-debut teaser videos. All the clips in the MV are special clips that were originally released one at a time on their own to introduce EXO to the world, before the group's official debut. Before EXO debuted, SM released 23 teaser videos over a 3 month period and the videos showcased the members and their talents, such as Kai's special dances and Tao's martial arts skills, as well as told a story about EXO who are on a quest to find each other and to find clues to locate the Tree of Life, etc. Kai was the member that was featured in the most teasers -- somewhere around 10 videos. The "What is Love" MV takes clips from those teaser videos and puts them together to make the MV. Months and years later, we have also discovered that the teasers also were teasers to EXO's discography of songs. At the time, when the teasers were released, we had no idea the significance of the songs that you hear in the teasers. But now, over the years, we have discovered that the majority of the songs that were featured in EXO's pre-debut teasers were also meant to be teasers to songs that would be released as some of the main tracks of EXO's albums. All the teasers are still on SM's RU-vid channel if you want to check them out. If you watch the teasers, you will see how planned out everything EXO is involved in actually is. Most of the songs that they released even years after debut were songs that were teased to in their pre-debut teaser videos. That just goes to show you why we say that everything EXO does comes back to their storyline. :D Absolutely everything has been planned out down to the most minute detail for years in advance and for years to come. However, not all of the songs you hear in the teasers were songs that made it to the albums, or maybe they are songs that haven't been released yet. There are several songs in the teasers that we still don't know. Maybe they are songs that have not been released yet, or maybe they may never exist as a full song. It's another part of EXO's mystery that we are waiting to discover. So, if you want to follow EXO's story, you have to watch both "What is Love" MVs to see the different clips and try and figure out the story it is trying to tell. EXO's MVs may look similar, but in each version there are hidden messages and Easter eggs that SM puts in each MV that tell a little more of the story, even still today. Plus, in the Korean version they highlight the 6 EXO-K members, where in the Mandarin version they highlight the EXO-M members. It's a common misconception that just because EXO's two MVs look similar on the surface that you don't need to watch both versions, but if you skip the Mandarin version of EXO's MVs -- especially these early MVs when they were still a full group with 12 members -- I guarantee you are going to miss a key part of their story. Plus, you miss out on hearing the EXO-M members and what the song sounds like in Mandarin.

You also need to check out What If by EXO, one of the greatest r&b kpop tracks in existence. There's no video but there are live performances.

If y'all enjoy rnb EXO, check out What If.., it won't disappoint

What is Love, composed by Mr. New Jack Swing himself, Teddy Riley!

I love EXO 🤩🤩🤩 I love D.O's unique voice and irreplaceable run 👍 👍

Basically D.O, Baekhyun and Yoo Youngjin (hitmaker of SM) are singing.

Can you imagine that this is pre debut EXO

EXO KINGS AND LEGENDS OF K-POP FOREVER ETERNA-A FACT THAT HAS NO LONGER NEEDS ANYONE'S APPROVAL. POPULARITY AND LEGNDARITY ARE DIFFERENT CONCEPTS. Popularity is there today, tomorrow it is gone, and LEGENDARITY IS WITH YOU FOREVER. EXO songs released in 2012 in their debut album are relevant to this day. EVERY EXO ALBUM IS A VISION OF ART THAT YOU CAN LISTEN TO ENDLESSLY. EXO MUSIC IS TIMELESS. EXO ARE RELEVANT EVEN AFTER 10 YEARS OF CAREER.

"Who got bent over to this song?" The way my soul left my body 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yup, so young and amazing! EXO had always been incredible since day 1! WHAT IS LOVE is one of two of their pre-debut tracks, the other being HISTORY. WHAT IS LOVE is a collaboration between legendary American singer/songwriter/producer TEDDY RILEY and SM Entertainment's in-house singer/songwriter, producer and vocal trainer YOO YOUNG JIN.

EXO is my one and only favorite artists of all time, period.

What is love es una canción que te hace EXO-L sea como sea.

this is their pre-debut song n mv

AAAAAAA OMG MY LOVE MY BIAS MY KINGS MY FAVORITES SO BEAUTIFUL SO PERFECT SO SEXY SO CUTE BABY KYUNGSOO AND CHANYEOL😍❤😭👑🥵

Siempre con energía escuchando buena música de EXO 😎👏👏 gracias por su apoyo a los vocal kings

Y’all EXO reaction vids always get me fr 😭❤️ I be listening to them the same way!!

i love the exo reactions so much!

Favorite Kpop song of all time!

This was even before debut. The power of their voice even being just rookies ... Amazing.

Baby Kyungsoo is the cutest, polite, and humble idol in the entire K-POP industry. Although he does not consider himself cute and does not like to be called that, but it's the truth and he has absolutely nothing to do to be so cute. I love him madly for such spontaneity, sincerity and absolutely unique vocals that you can listen to endlessly. PLPLEASE REACTION TO D.O. BEST LIVE VOCALS. PLEASE REACTION TO D.O. LIVE SOLO "THAT'S OKAY" SMTOWN 2022.

One of my ALL TIME favorite songs! I cannot NOT sing when I hear it 😂

I’ve been waiting for thisssss ahhhhh y’all lit🔥

I'm excited for you guys to react to EXO's What If! it's produced by The Underdogs, the same guys who produced Tyrese Gibson's "How You Gonna Act Like That"

Baby EXO! Always slaying since day 1! The vocals! OMG!

"What if" by EXO is also really nice. 😊

Been a fan since their debut! ❤️ I love Exo , they’re so talented❤️🙌🏼 Loved the reactions! 👏🏼👏🏼

Can you guys please react to “Ultimate Guide to EXO by Paistel Koookies”. Thank you soo much for the reaction❤

baeksoo ate and left no crumbs even as ROOKIES

Amazing reaction like always ❤️ thank u

i like to think baek and d.o were trying to outsing each other in this one lmaoooo those men are GIFTED and i love it, some of my favorite voices in kpop also its kinda funny every time i see the SM building in this MV when it was first being constructed and just how much EXO has done for that company (ofc all the groups have) its just EXO has had such an impact and stunning career, i miss them so much ❤

EXO-SC ON ME(sehun solo) Y’ALL SHOULD LISTEN TO IT !!

I love your EXO reactions! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

EXO are the R&B kings

The cold version is that SM saw the opportunity to make money in China. EXO was another supergroup from the label of supergroups, and they included really talented Chinese kids, taught the Korean kids Mandarin and EXO - M sang Mandarin versions of the songs.

Do Kyungsoo just has an unrealistically beautiful face and is literally getting more beautiful every day. He is exactly the kind of person who suits absolutely any style, hairstyle and concept, as evidenced by numerous EXO albums, numerous advertising and numerous acting shots of Kyungsoo, which are so different in a variety of roles and images.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS LOVELY REACTION GUUUYS!!!...😊😊😊

*I'm always so excited whenever u react to EXO* ✨️😩😩😩😩

AAAAA OMG MY BIAS. I LOVE D.O. VOCALS. I LOVE D.O. DANCE. I LOVE D.O. ACTOR. I LOVE D.O. VISUAL.

My first kpop song I listen even I thought i was into kpop and exo since 2016 . Still what is love and mama are my ult kpop songs ❤️

is2g this is just babies making baby-making music. Baekhyun and Kyungsoo are teenagers here but they sang the SHIT out of this song, planting that Vocals Kings flag even before debut - I recommend checking out the EXO-M version (Chen and Luhan) on your own time since the EXO-M videos get copyright strikes like mad

AAAAAAAAA OMG MY BIAS. I LOVE CHANYEOL VOCALS. I LOVE CHANYEOL RAPER. I LOVE CHANYEOL DANCE. I LOVE CHANYEOL ACTOR. I LOVE CHANYEOL VISUAL.

Los reyes vocales EXO 👑🥰♥️

This song is so amazing...d.o daebak

Glad ya'll reacted to baby Exo. I remember when they were debuting. They had like 24 teasers. I do recommend check out the M versions too even with it being made up of half former members. The songs the same, but vibe is little different. Love to keep seeing the reacts roll in.

Lived your reaction

And this a pre-debut song 😏

Thanks for react to EXO :")

This is a masterpiece, one of their many

Reaction exo - growl, kokobop, call me baby please And baekhyun un village I love all exos songs, I already wait new reasons from you

Baekhyun is just insane with his runs and high notes

You should check out the performance 'tell me what is love' by D.O. also his solo album debut 'Empathy'. He sang in 3 languages in that album: Korean, English and Spanish!

I love you guys reactin to exo! Aaaaaaaaaa

Dance video is sehun white and Kai back dress😎😎king dance 😍😍🔥🔥🔥

This was 10 years old but this still hits!

Exo planet

sm ent really got the best singers

Thanks for reaction EXO ❤️

To put it simply..SM entertainments goal was EXO sub unit promote in Korean (EXO-K) and in Mandarin (EXO-M) coz nobody have done that back in the days in kpop industry. They get together to promote as a group also. The reason why they are just EXO now is because 3 of the Chinese members left and only 1 remained (Lay) so EXO is composed of 9 members up to this day. This song btw was produced by Teddy Riley MJ's producer before. Another EXO song he produced was CALL ME BABY..you guys need to check that out as well. Its another old song of theirs released 2015 but definitely a banger.

EXOK promoted in Korea while EXOM promoted in China. Then they will come together as one.

Love shot - exo but live performance ❤

now i think you're ready to listen to Tell me (What is love) by D.O. thank me later.

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥!!

This is exactly why we call EXO SEXO! I have chills watching! On FIRE! OMG!

EXO COMEBACK IN 2023 YALL!!!

That was actually pre-debut. EXO K was Korean with Korean language. EXO M was Mandarin with Chinese. Then relations between China and Korea was not good for awhile, so it was just EXO. Also 3 of the Chinese memebers had disputes with management and sued and returned to China Tao, Luhan, and Kris Wu. Luhan, Tao are very successful in China with acting and singind. Kris Wu was doing great with acting but became involved with underage %&x charge and is now in prison. We all no Lay is killin it , he says he will always be EXO and we hope he takes part in their 2023 comeback.💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

No hay separación solo que de un grupo se hizo 2 su unidades una para China que es exo M y otra para Corea exo K, solo que al salir 3 miembros chinos se unificaron las unidades quedando solo como Exo. Como lo conocemos actualmente una de mis canciones favoritas con esos vocales de woo

EXO is a diamond not only of SM but of the entire K-POP industry. I sincerely apologize, but the visual effects of EXO are too powerful, as soon as they appear on the stage, they capture you with their dazzle, not letting you go until the very end. It's been a whole 10 years, but they simply have no equal in live performances. PLEASE REACTION TO EXO PLANET #4: GROWL. THE EVE. KO KO BOP. FOREVER. PLEASE REACTION TO EXO PLANET #5: 24/7. TEMPO. DAMAGE. GRAVITY.

D.O has his own solo.. please check out D.O Roses and many more..

Guys u need to react to ultimate guide

you should react to exo love shot

Yall gotta watch an exo guide sometime

Baek hyun, DO❤

❤❤

Exo Acoustic Session is really good Please react to that

I recommend Zion.T's Click Me and Eat..There's something bout his voice.

Have u heard exo sweetlies and 24/7? And paradise?

The reason why EXO-K and EXO-M ceased to exist is because 3 Chinese members left the group back in 2014, with their departure, the two sub-units were unified resulting in EXO, as we know them now.
