I swear, I have gone to almost all 2nd, 3rd,and 4th gen Kpop artists concerts, BUT NOTHING BEATS EXO WITH REGARDS TO STAGE PRESENCE, CHARISMA, AND IMPECCABLE LIVE VOCALS. I always encourage people I know that regardless of their music genre preference, they should come to EXO concert even just once in thier lifetime.
Exo were always grown-ups and it's SM's style anyway + Xiumin/Kai/Lay don't know chill ever , I die everytime I see Chanyeol struggling with body rolls he looks cute and clueless 😂👌 ,The next should be diamond+run this+drop that+ power pleaaaase do more lives
They both are amazing dancers, so please check out their dance practices as well. Kai: Mmmh, Reason, Peach, Rover Lay: Flying Apsaras, Honey, Namanana, Veil
When I heard 'look at that sexiness' in the first 30 secs, I was like wait till you get to 'Artificial Love' 🤣. Also, all these songs are b-sides, Exo's discography is amazing.
It's okay, we know that CHANYEOL has an unique way to move his body, he is the tallest one though 😅 But, he improved a lot (see Gravity live) LAY is a huge talent, it's worth to dive into !!
I like you both as reactors. You make an effort to really know each members unlike other reactors who only cares for view but doesn't even bother to know even the members' names. Thank you for liking EXO! ❤🎉
Fun fact: If you notice, during "White Noise" Suho, EXO's leader, was center stage. They focused on Suho because he used his superpower, which is the ability to control water, to make it rain on stage. Water plays an important role with EXO, and especially during this world tour, because they built a whole section of the stage that has a giant rain machine and a moat so they wanted to get a lot of use out of it. They might not have gotten wet during this performance, but they did get wet in several other stages during this concert/tour, especially Kai, Lay and Sehun -- the main dancers -- who had solo dances in the water, as well. Water also plays an important role in everything EXO does because that is where Suho gets his strength from. So, right before it starts raining you see Suho raise his hand above his head, which is supposed to be him controlling the rain. Then a minute later, during the same song, when the rain turns off, you see the camera focus on Baekhyun and he raises his hand in the air and the lights turn off and a spotlight shines on him. Baekhyun has the power to control light, so he is the one to control the lights. And during "Thunder" the first person they focus on is Chen because he has the power of thunder, so he is the one to control the thunder during that song, and where there is thunder that means there is lightning as well. At one point during "Thunder" you also see Chen spin around with his hands out to his sides and then there is a large streak of lightning behind him and a big thunderclap sound, which is supposed to be him summoning the lightning and thunder. Therefore, Chen has the power of thunder and lighting and because of that he also can control electricity. Kai's shirt isn't ripped, it's designed like that. It has cutouts that were specifically designed to show parts off his arms and torso. Plus, as a dancer Kai's clothing is designed to allow him to be able to move and flex and bend without being restrictive. EXO's "Playboy" was one of numerous songs that was written and co-composed by Jonghyun, SHINee's main vocalist. If you know Jonghyun's R&B style and sound you will probably be able to hear him in this song. This is such a Jonghyun song. If you ever want to hear what the song originally sounded like, you should look up Jonghyun singing it, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GBe6kCMBQeU.html. Jonghyun's version of "Playboy" has even more of that smooth R&B style and sound. Jonghyun is considered one of the absolute best singers in all of Kpop who was actually a vocal coach and mentor to several of the EXO members when they were trainees. He was really a master when it came to creating music and he was one of the very first Idols to be known for his songwriting and composing skills. As you can see, everything EXO does has something to do with their origin story and their powers. You will see in future performances other examples of the members using their powers as well. For example, when there is fire elements you will see them focus on Chanyeol because he controls fire and when they sing about snow or winter you will see Xiumin because he controls snow/ice/frost, when Sehun dances there are often things that show him creating a windstorm or controlling the wind, etc. Everything EXO does has something to do with their storyline including their live performances and even some of their choreography. You will see Lay and Kai, and usually also Sehun, dancing together in most of the dance break sections of EXO's concerts because they are the main dancers of their respective sub-units and they were meant to mirror each other in their roles in their groups. As you can see, Lay is known for being just as sexy, if not more so, than Kai when it comes to his dancing and onstage personality. If you think Kai is too much to handle, Lay may send you into cardiac arrest if you watch some of his live solo performances. LOL Kai has a more subtle, innocent sexuality, where Lay knows exactly what he is doing and he intentionally turns the sex appeal up to 1,000 with a smirk on his face. (I mean the boy has a song called "Lay you down.") What you just witnessed was the sexy set of EXO's concert. As you may know, SM concerts are usually broken up into sets and each set has a theme, such as their acoustic set, cute set, hype set, ballad set, etc. and in between sets they have solo and sub-unit performances and VCR videos that set up the next set of songs and allow the other members a chance to change their clothes and prepare for the next set. Kpop concerts last 3 to 4 hours long and they usually perform about 30 songs in total. And all of EXO's stages are just as epic and unique as this. No two concerts are ever the same. Every time they perform a song, they change things up, so it's never boring and the fans never get tired of watching them perform no matter how many times we may have heard a song or seen EXO perform. That's why Kpop concerts are unlike any other concert you have ever seen. The attention to detail and the elaborate stages is what makes it special.
14:37 yes! Lay gives his 200% in every performance he does. No matter if it's sexy, powerful, or sombre. He delivers. He's also a magnificent dancer. One of the best in kpop along with Kai
Dears! As a mature "Auntie" I blushed profusely the first time I watched this set! The incredible detail to note is about Kai: he has stated that he doesn't stage his expressions, but react in the moment. Now THAT is charisma.
You laughing at Chanyeol's dancing is actually hilarious GAHAHAHA he can't just seem to master the body rolls, hence the eve dance practice GAHAHA 😂 keep up the good work! Love ur reactions because it is very genuine❤❤
It's normal to have a bias wrecker like for example my bias is kai and my bias wrecker is Chen. It's just so hard because in every live performances they shine individually That's why it's so hard to have just only one bias when it comes to exo because they are just so good
You will be so shocked when you watch Kai's guide and see his personality off stage 😄 He is my ult bias, I know it is an obvious choice but I can't help it.. I was not into kpop until I came across Exo's Monster Dance Practice video.. I liked the song but what got my attention was Kai.. His smirk and charisma got to me and I started to watch Exo videos just to see him and with each video I've watched, I fell in love with all of the members and their discography.. My bias wrecker in Exo constantly changes though, every member gets their fair share 😂
Exactly the same!! Then I searched Kai & completely went down a rabbit hole of his fan cams starting with Love Shot from which there was no return 😅 He is such an incredible performer! But of course now I’ve more biases who keep changing.
So in terms of dancing. Kai, Lay and Sehun make up the dance line. With Xiumin and Baekhyun nipping at their heels. D.O., Chen, and Suho are all solid, good dancers. Chanyeol is admittedly, the weakest dancer, he is very much aware of it, and has worked at it so hard. If you watch the Cream Soda performances and their Obsession performances, you can see he has improved, significantly. Especially in Cream Soda. He ate that choreo. Body rolls are NOT his strong suit though, that is for sure, for sure. He's such a lovable, lanky, happy virus!
Listen Idk what Chanyeol was up to in the military but he may have been taking private dance classes with Kasper or something because he has improved soooooo much. He's gotten ahold of moving his body with the rhythm now and I am so unbelievable proud of him. I gush every time I see him dancing now 😂
Yes, Kai and Lay are charisma central. I find Lay to be on the overtly sexier side and Kai on the more sensually sexy side, but both are sexy. Interestingly, both are a little dipsy and very sweet when off stage. When it comes to ships, you can find all of them connected with all of them somewhere, but there are popular ones. They are very close friends, so there is enough footage to show any partnership.
EXO got to have high scores in all aspects of being a great Kpop boygroup. Vocals, visuals, stage presence, dance, attitude, fan service, and work ethic. They are not perfect but the group stays relevant for a long time because of the members' relationship and chemistry with each other.
Auho calling for the rain, because that's his power. And then the light on Baekhyun as light is his power. After that thunder and lightning when they sang Thunder as that is Chen's power.
Lay, Kai, Sehun and Xiumin are embodiment of sexiness and body rolls whereas although Chen's dancing skill aren't praised much but his hip thrust are so powerful, Baekhyun has a really nice body flow while D.O. really gives his best and Chanyeol tries his best even though its hard with his tall body but usually just tries to keep things kids friendly. For your question, yes Lay is really hard and aggressive when it comes to choreographies.
My bias are Chen and D.O, all are my bias wrecker. As a pandemic L, my bias then was whoever has an update lol. As for Lay, if you think Kai is sexy wait till you see Lay's solo. You can start with Honey. Thanks for reacting to EXO.
Haha same, although whoever has a new release is my latest wrecker (think Kai will always stay ult because he got me into this incredible group). You are right about Lay actually 🤔 Kai is more smouldery & Lay is more overt.
In metric system: Chanyeol is 1,87; Sehun is 1,84; Kai is 1,82; Lay is 1,78; Baekhyun , Chen and Suho are 1,73 ( with tiny milimeters of difference) and Xiumin and D.O are 1,72. They are all tall is just that Rap line is much taller. Chanyeol is the tallest idol in SM entertainment at the moment. The duo TVXQ! used to be the tallest but Chanyeol grow a bit more over the time he was on the military.
I have literally watched this performance everyday for the past 5-6 years. I love EXO and have been a fan of them since debut, but I swear Kai makes me mad. He makes me feel like a dirty old woman (I'm 53) whenever I watch him!
To me this set belonged to Kai! At 12:40 is where I always have to pause and to see you curl up at his face.... Yup that's what it is all about. In this set everyone talks about Artificial Love, but Playboy is IT for me!
It will forever hurt my feelings that I missed EXO in Texas. I hadn’t yet become a fan when they were here. I doubt they’ll have another US tour especially the way they’re being neglected by SM! But I’m willing to spend any amount of money if they do come back!
Chanyeol is too tall for all that... extraness 😂... He will serve you levels though, that boy get down low with his back and knees to even out with his members. Y'all funny. Kai is a Demon, The End. Lay is not innocent either, he was dancing with female dancers before the others. Great reaction guys, this was the sexy set that gave out heart attacks.
"Is Lay usually this aggressive?" 😂😂😂 All you have to do is watch his Honey MV to understand. YES. He's a Main Dancer, like Kai (his specialty is street dance), so he knows how to *move*. His solo live stages tend to be on the sensual side, so here's your warning on future content, if you go that far, lol If you want something more epic and cool from Lay, I greatly recommend his "Lit" MV 🔥
Yes!!! I’m so glad you are getting into EXO as well - EXO & SKZ are my 2 ult groups. It’s so fun watching someone else fall for them too! I actually got to see Kai perform in Sydney last year & he was just as amazing in person. I so desperately want to see EXO together in concert one day!! Also maybe start with a group guide, then do the individual guides later with some solo work? But us EXOL’s don’t care about long vids, we will still watch all the content 😉😅
Alot of groups that came after them, the dancers in the groups mostly like 2 dancers currently in K-pop: 1. Kai and/or 2. Taemin from Shinee (2nd Gen). Both groups just also happen to be from SM. Sidenote: Lay is the King of Balance ... 😊
I am new exol. In whole kpop i never found antone so versatile in concepts and live performances. And i came to know that now their concepts are done by others. Like the blind dance, water thing, even whole setups on stage like a bar setup and whatnot. They are Elite💯🙌
Thanks for your reaction guys! This performance and the previous medley to which they reacted from MAMA + MONSTER + WOLF (remix) (which was the beginning of the concert), are from the same concert! They are just amazing! Another legendary performance that they have to react to and from the same concert is their Acoustic Session +Lady luck +What if in Japan! 💖🔥🔥
Some EXO concerts, their vocals crack a little bit, you can hear their laughing,.. but that's the moment proved their singing live ❤ Love your reaction ❤❤
Lay is like careless beauty..careless sexy. He doesn't interact with the camera much or expressions but all the music and waterlike flow in his body with that straight face appeals much more to me somehow
Thankyou so much for reacting to our EXO i think you must watch their othe concert performance, like EXOPLANET Elyxion diamond, coming over, run this, drop that and power
My favorite is D.O and the more I see things about him the more I like him, not only his voice but his personality and how beautiful he is without trying...
play boy is a song wrting for EXO by fellow SM artist Jonghyun a shine member, and it is a masterpeace, (RIP Jonghyung ) about Lay aka Mr CEO!.... well !!! you can just check his solo work honey whoul be a good start huhuhu
My bias is Suho and bias wrecker is chen but I feel ya with the kai one. Kai is just in another category. The idol of idols. As for the guides just have in mind that some are biased and stick with the "image" they created since the beggining. If you truly want to get to know them I would recommend watching their reality shows.
EХO is a divine group with incredibly talented performers. Each one is a brilliant in the priceless crown of EХO.💯❤❤❤ Also enjoy: EXO - Drop That + Keep On Dancing + Lucky + Run The EXO'rDIUM IN JAPAN TOKYO;🔥Тhank you💙
The ships that D.O likes the most are with Kai Kaisoo and Chanyeol Chansoo, then with Baekhyun Baeksoo, but he gets along great with everyone and there are many videos with each of the members interacting with D.O...
That performance that you reacted before and this performance are from the same concert 😊 They have different sections in one concert, like acoustic session, club section, cute section, sexy performance like this and etc. It was so much fun to watch with you, thank you❤
Thank you for reacting to EXO!!!~ I love your reactions guys every time!! Please continue and I hope you guys react to more EXO videos like their live concert performances like the acoustic medley. They'll never disappoint I assure you. They will always be improving every time like they got better and better and better and always surprises even us fans since 2012😍🥰
Shout out to EXO’s producers : LDN Noise, etc. They did such amazing job, giving EXO the perfect music for them. There is only one EXO can fit these concepts, as their producers said
That was the “grown folk” concert 🔥🔥🔥 EXO are the Vocal Kings 👏🏿👏🏿 I would love to see them live in concert, I know that it would be spectacular 🔥🔥🔥🔥 EXO EXO EXO 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
playboy will always be a favorite of mine mainly because Jonghyun of shinee made the song for them but also because of the performance its simply amazing 😁
@@sarahkhairi928 YES, I got Ravi's contract in my album, the photos are something 😳 And Shangri-la is such a beautiful song, especially them performing in the traditional dress with the paper fans. Trendsetters 💅
Nice! So good you guys knows them all! How about let kai & lay charm you with their dance fancam and solo albums! Once you check EXO theres no way out.
If you haven’t already seen their live version (concert in Japan) where they do Mama, Monster and Wolf…its a must! BTW…you can have D.O or Kai or Chen or Sehun (even though i love them all)..but Baekhyun is MINE! (Well and millions of others)❤
Back when EXO had EXOrdium concert in our country, I was in the standing area. I can't remember that artificial love was that sexy. When I looked at my fancams it was Chanyeol in front of me😂. I love him for it though. He's so precious. Honestly his body roll improved a LOT.
I'm loving all your "theories" kkkk D.O is also my bias (and joke's on me cause Kai's my bias wrecker ahah) I WOULD ALSO BE A PUDDLE BUT I WOULD BE SUCH A HAPPY PUDDLE IF I SAW THEM LIVE!!!!!!!!!! It's funny to see Kai performing because his personality outside the stage is totally different!! I'm cracking up at your reaction to Chanyeol's dance moves lolol he's doing much better now tho!!! And about the shipping comment, in my knowledge not a lot of people ship D.O and Chen (Chen is usually shipped with Xiumin and D.O with Kai), i don't know about the shipping situation now lol since Chen got married and has a kid .... I think most EXO ships come from outside concerts or behind the scenes. Anyway, thank you so much for reacting to EXO, they are so talented! i really don't know how they can dance and sing so well at the same time lol
Ah, let me tell you about the ships 😏 Nobody is safe, we shipping them all tbh, but the popular ships are SeHo (Sehun and Suho), ChanSoo (Chanyeol and D.O), XiuChen (Xiumin and Chen) with various other less popular ships. The most most most popular ones are KaiSoo (Kai and D.O) and (the ultimate ship) ChanBaek (Chanyeol and Baekhyun). While all the pairings have their moments, ChanBaek is the most sus one of them all, there are tons of videos and analyses explaining why (at some point few years ago it was even speculated they are living together). Anyways, I really enjoy your videos and always laugh a lot at your amazing commentary, thank you for supporting our boys ❤ p.s. sorry for ranting about ships, I am one of them ppl that goes crazy at the mention of it
8:35 exo is not a soft touchy(?) group ( i mean they more likely show love with actions not words) they are like beat eachother or pinch each other type of people so seeing them being extra lovely makes us so happy and excited
If you wanna watch their guides i would recommend watching Ultimate Guide to EXO or each individual guide by Caser Oh. For live stages which i totally recommend and just search as below: 1. EXO Intro + The Eve + Forever 2. Diamond + Coming Over + Run This + Drop That + Power 3. EXO Christmas Day + First Snow + Miracles in December (Christmas vibe) 4. EXO El-Dorado (majestic) 5. EXO Peter Pan + XOXO + Lucky + 365 (cute vibe) 6. EXO Promise live 7. EXO Cosmic Railway 8. EXO Dont Go & Angel in Seoul/Japan
