EXO LOVE SHOT REACTION by Anthony Ray 

EXO, the vocal kings of kpop! They're even better in live performance. Lay is not in this MV. He's still EXO just not active in the group. His contract with SM ended in April 2022 but he's still a member of EXO. Also he has a special business partnership recently with SM right now so SM is back to promoting Lay. Kai is in the red suit.

KAI is the main dancer of EXO's. *EXO is known as The Vocal Kings of Kpop!*

Omg what a pleasant surprise Anthony! Thank you for checking one of the best vocal kings sings💙💙

Such an iconic song! SM entertainment houses the best vocalists in my opinion. Plus I feel like all their boy groups are more on the grown up sexy side. They tend to use American producers that were famous in the 90s and early 2000s (ie. Teddy Riley, Darkchild, etc) giving their songs a nostalgic feel. Lots of great RnB tracks from EXO and NCT especially.

As with most of EXO's songs and MVs -- such as "Love Shot" -- the song and the story in the MV are two separate things. There are two messages that the story tells in the MV. Yes, the story in the MV is loosely based on the lyrics of the song, but the main point of the MV is mostly to tell another part of EXO's story. There are 8 members in "Love Shot." Lay, their Chinese member, was not able to participate in this MV. Part of EXO's mission is they are constantly fighting against and battling the Red Force for control. The Red Force is thought to be here on Earth inflicting their evil agenda and corrupting humanity and causing all the bad things that are happening in the world such as war, hate and destruction of the environment, etc. While on their quest to locate and protect the Tree of Life, EXO is also tasked with trying to fix everything the Red Force has caused. And because EXO is trying to undo and prevent the Red Force from accomplishing their goals, the Red Force is also trying to take down EXO by capturing them, corrupting them and standing in their way, etc. So each new MV or project from EXO tells another part of the story. In "Love Shot" I'm not sure why EXO first ended up at the gas/service station or the cinema/movie theater, but the story in this MV is all about how the Red Force is trying to corrupt and control them. For example, supposedly, most fans agree, that Xiumin may have been captured by the Red Force -- or maybe it's his X-EXO clone. If you notice, Xiumin is squaring off with a group of guys with guns, but a few seconds later we see someone with a mask and when the mask is removed you see that it's Xiumin, which seems to show that he may not be who we think he is. And when Chen is sitting in the theater watching the film, you see what fans agree is Suho, as the leader, probably trying to protect the members and prevent Chen from watching the film by covering his eyes. Whatever is being played on the movie screen is thought to probably be the Red Force trying to control EXO. You also see references to the movie screen with Chen being projected on the screen in their "Lucky One" MV and the scene where Suho is running through the forest in their "For Life" MV, etc. These instances seem to be showing times when the Red Force are using the videos to brainwash EXO and to keep them incapacitated so they don't try to fight back or escape, etc. In "Love Shot" one theory is that the members are fighting to discover who has been corrupted by the Red Force and who may not be who they say they are, etc., which I see as a sort of continuation of the story in their "Tempo" MV. This is why you see them being very suspicious pointing their guns -- which are filled with alcohol -- at each other. (Get it? the song is called "Love Shot" so it has a double meaning: Love Shot like a gun and Love Shot like a shot of alcohol. :D) The flowers have two purposes, one is they represent Love and EXO is collecting love, but also the flowers are a big part of EXO's storyline. There has been a flower theme that continues throughout all of EXO's MVs. The flowers are thought to be something that EXO is collecting and trying to get rid of to prevent the Red Force from being able to control people, etc. They often collect the flowers and then burn them, like you see in "Love Shot" and in EXO-CBX's "Hey Mama" MV. Blue roses also have some sort of significance, but I am not sure what yet -- we see EXO with a blue rose in their concert performances of "Lightsaber" and we see Sehun with a blue rose in "Love Shot." Some of what happens in this story is explained by past MVs and other parts will hopefully, be explained as the story continues in future MVs. Money is the root of all evil, and people's obsession with material goods and wealth could be one of the ways the Red Force is using to control humanity. Which is why you see EXO trying to take down the gambling ring in their "Monster" and "Lotto" MVs and why they talk about money in EXO-CBX's Japanese song "Ka-Ching," etc. They also burn the giant stack of money in "Monster"/"Lotto." it's not an isolated incident, so it's obviously a significant thing within EXO's storyline. Baekhyun is actually one of the main characters in EXO's storyline so he is often set apart or singled out in EXO's MVs. He is often the one that stands alone or is highlighted in the story. For example, in their "Power" MV Baekhyun has been singled out and is sort of separated from the other members, which seems to suggest maybe Baekhyun is the only member that hasn't been corrupted by the Red Force. So that is thought to be why in "Tempo" and in "Love Shot" we see Baekhyun standing on top of the building looking down on the rest of the members, almost as if he is observing them from another dimension or from another time period. Baekhyun is often the one who is going behind the sense to help EXO. For example, we see him disguised as a member of the police as he rescues the other members from the back of the police van in "Monster," and we see Baekhyun facing off with and confronting Xiumin in "Love Shot." :D And now that we have discovered that the Red Force has created X-EXO, EXO's evil clones, as part of "Obsession's" story, I am also starting to think that maybe in "Love Shot" we aren't just seeing EXO. I think maybe when we see the members dressed in the bright colors -- for example, when they are in their suits -- this might be X-EXO and when we see the scenes were they are in black, this could be EXO. Because in their "Obsession" MV we find out that the members in all black are EXO the good guys, and when we see them in the colorful outfits with the crazy hair and makeup that is their X-EXO alter ego clones. This could also explain why Kai is dressed in a red suit. Although I am sure their stylists put him in red because he looks really good in it, I think SM chose it because it's another hidden message within the storyline. Usually, whenever we see red in EXO's MVs this has something to do with the Red Force, so for a long time I have been wondering why then would they put Kai in a red suit? However, now that we know about the X-EXO members, I am starting to think that when we see the members in their colorful suits and clothing in "Love Shot" this is actually the X-EXO members, so when we see Kai in red this is his alter ego clone, as well as the other members when we see them in suits, etc. I also think maybe the members who are collecting all the flowers in "Love Shot" are really X-EXO, as part of some evil plot, etc. If you look at the members expressions and the outfits they are wearing in the scenes where you see them collecting the flowers, this reminds me a lot of what they looked like in their "Ko Ko Bop" MV. Since "Obsession," theories now think that what the "Ko Ko Bop" MV was showing us was X-EXO right after they were created as they are becoming acclimated to the world and learning how to use their powers, etc. Which would explain why everything in the "Ko Ko Bop" MV is so brightly colored as well. But you should also know that no one really knows for sure what is happening in any of EXO's MVs. There are well known theories and storylines that are accepted within the fandom, which we think might explain what is happening in each MV. And there are theories about how each MV is connected and where each falls within their larger storyline, but nothing is set in stone. Fan theories are constantly evolving and changing with every introduction of a new piece of the puzzle.

ANW U SHOULD CHECK THEIR LIVE PERFOMANCE CONCERT (trust me exo vocal is ANOTHER level!!)

Legendary song. Never gets old. 🕺🏻

Hi! EXO, being so diverse (each member has his own sound), their harmonies & vocal range are extremely good, their dance skills are impeccable plus impressive visuals make them a total package. EXO may have been inactive as a group due to conscription but, amazingly, they maintain their popularity & continue to influence new gen of Kpop. EXO is simply the best of the best. Thanks for your reaction.

Exo

KINGS

Thank you for react to EXO

That kingsofkpop❤❤❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Wow wow wow You reacted to Love shot... Omo 😮😮😮😮😮 I'm so late....

My ultimate bias the vocal kings of kpop no other than exo thank you so much sir 😍🥺 But Ls we should stop here don't push him to react any exo songs,

Yeayyy Anthony welcome to exo

Their official MV start from 2017 has subtitle too!!

NAAAANANANANANANANAA

More EXO please. They are out of this world good.

Thank uu for the reaction i hope u will react ro exo more!! Just to make things clear for uu LAY and KAI are both from exo and they are still in it it’s just that for the last few years Lay haven’t been active as a member but mostly as a soloist because China and Korea weren’t on good terms and he is considered as a Chinese youth ambassador so due to these political issues we can only either see a glimpse of him in few exo mvs or hear a bit of his voice in the other songs in the mv

Kai Kai😀

Сначало были ЭХО,а потом уже BTS и все остальные.ЭХО законодатели трендов,многие группы пытаются что то повторить за ЭХО😊.Самая лучшая группа талантливых ребят!

King Kai 👑

Thank you for reacting to EXO song. This group is the only one kpop group that I admitted and in love because of their vocals quality, songs (kind of my music, mostly R&B songs) and multitalented. Kai and Lay are members of EXO, but in this album Lay didn't participate because of many reasons (political issues between China and SK). Kai and Baekhyun are members of SM super group SuperM. Try to learn more about EXO and you will never regret it.

Best song in the world

You so cute sir when you mention Kai name 3x,and you shock when you mention Lay, Thank you for your nice reaction to EXO, I enjoy it.

Hey Anthony! I love kpop but I’d love if you could check a Norwegian artist called Aurora. Her song The Seed is a masterpiece 💜

this comes first bfore bts song u said. and its not new for anyone bcoz bts idolize exo eversince.

😍💕💖💖💖💕👍

Yes that’s Kai. You should check film Kai.

Hey EXO-L's, I think the shady references to BTS, indicate bias. Lots of evidence of BTS plagiarism tendencies on RU-vid not just with EXO. I do not think he is interested.

Eyo thanks alot for your reaction to exo. Exo one of the best kpop groups.

Exo Monstor next please And after that Monstor by Irene and Seulgi 😉

LAY IS STILL A MEMBER OF EXO

rect to exo tempo, its fireee

LAY is still EXO member, he left SM but not EXO

REACT TO EXO TEMPO

Note: Love shot was released in 2018 and Black Swan in 2020, so BTS looks like EXO, not the other way around. Don’t compare EXO always special and different 😇🪩👌🏼

BTS "eye roll" over them Exo all the way

I'm used to watching your objective reaction Don't be biased towards your favorite group and mention them by comparing 😂

Although I like your reaction... I don't like that you compare always to BTS ..

Would be much better if you didn't keep comparing them to another group throughout the whole thing

Exo is a legend..but exo is lower than bts

Wow Is this truly a reaction? You seems quite indifferent toward them.

Please never react to EXO even again. They deserve more respect than what you are giving them. You have gained so many subscribers by overreacting to one specific group. Please just stick to them. The EXO fandom concist maily out of mature fans. We are not 10 year olds who will believe every reaction of yours. It is sad what people will do for views these days.
