Find my LIVE STAGE, REALITY and VARIETY SHOW Reactions here www.patreon.com/aaronfreeman

The deeper you look at SM artists, the more you will know that SM has never failed to choose an artist, from the past generation until now their vocals are always good

EXO's main vocalists (Baekhyun, Chen, D.O) are literally on the next level. And Exo all together create perfect unison and harmonies (like RV and TVXQ5). Thank you for keep exploring on Exo. They have amazing discographies, voices, uniqueness and sound designs

Every EXO song during their heydays was a hit. Edit: hit song = broadly popular number; well-known to the general public

I will really join the PATREON when it's time for EXO'S CONCERT and album reaction.

The fact that i'm still getting goosebumps whenever watching overdose mv thanks a lot for the react this exo's masterpiece song

13:32 "Suho's voice is very emotional" maybe that's why he's thriving as a musical actor😌 Also, i'm so glad you're still reacting to exo despite not always vibing with their songs. You also said that the chorus is addicting which i agree, this is also one of my fav tt by them and that's very on brand of the song since jungdok means addiction

Kyungsoo (D.O.) is RNB king 👑

You’re so right suho’s voice is full of emotions if you listen to his song you’ll notice that much more even in his musicals he literally pulls all the emotions so well he’s a voice you listen to it if you wanna cry I recommend listening to his album SELF PORTRAIT is the prettiest album that I’ve listened to it’s so good trust me+his voice is so powerful too his high notes are insane

Wow what a day to feel alive Chen's Birthday and Back to back EXO content from Sir Aaron ♡♡ Thank You Sir and Patreons

SM group discographies are truly time gems!! (At least the way I see it, SM set the standard for what the universal "k-pop" genre sound was! I also encourage you to look into a ton of SM demos for idol's songs. Really sheds a light on SM style and what hands touch these amazing songs in order to make it possible.)

In EXO's "Overdose" MV what you saw is that the members have been trapped in a maze by the Red Force and they are trying to use their superpowers to escape the maze. For example, in the Korean version you see Chen throw a beam of light which is an example of them using their powers. Chen has the power to control lightning so he tossed a lightning bolt to Lay who has the power of healing. Lay is the only one who could have caught that light beam without being injured because Lay has the power of healing and he can heal himself. So, the story in the MV is pretty much the members trying to summon their powers to try and escape from the maze.The box that D.O. had at the beginning of the MV was full of dirt. D.O.'s superpower is the power of earth or dirt and it gives him super strength, so he was using the sand to build his strength back up. The other members were also trying to use their powers of teleportation, fire, light, etc. In the beginning when you see the EXO-K members making that picture while standing on each other, they are forming their hexagon symbol which is EXO's official symbol. (In the M version, you will notice it's different members.) The different sets you see, are thought to be different rooms within the maze, or maybe alternate realities or time periods created by the Red Force to lure the EXO members to them. Also something to note, you see Kai in the beginning and end of the MV in the Korean version because he is the center and visual of EXO-K. However, in the Mandarin version you will see Luhan fills that same role because he is the center and visual of EXO-M. Plus, Kai and Luhan were each others' power counterparts as well. So this establishes the connections between EXO-K and EXO-M. Kai and Luhan were supposed to have a bond that connected the two groups and made them one as part of EXO's storyline. How EXO worked back when they were split up into the two groups was that all the members were in both MVs, but the K members were featured more prominently in the K version of the song and the M members were featured in the M version. As you saw, in the EXO-K version of "Overdose" the K members sing the main parts of the song and they are the first group of 6 you see. (When you see them revisit the same sets in the MV the group you see is the 6 EXO-M members.) If you watch the Mandarin version, you will see the M members take over the main parts of the song and the K members are the ones you see second. So, even when the MVs look the same, they will always be slightly different because the members are assigned different parts in each MV. For example, in the Korean version, the EXO-K rappers (Chanyeol and Sehun) are the ones that are part of the rap section. If you watch the Mandarin version, you will see Kris, Xiumin and Tao are the rappers because they are EXO-M's rappers. Tao is also the martial artist of the group, so he is the one that does the flips and stunts in EXO's routines. And the main vocal parts and high notes are done by Baekhyun in the Korean version, but in the Mandarin version that part is Chen's because he is EXO-M's main vocalist, etc. At the end of the MV we discover that the maze has only one way in and no way out. Which I think is meant to represent and mirror the fact that they are saying they are trapped by love and once you are in there is no way out. The maze was also EXO's logo for this album and it is shaped like EXO's hexagon symbol. Although, in the song they're not overdosing on anything except love. As the English lines in the song say: "So bad, no one can stop her ... her love, her love (is) fantasy ... Oh she wants me, Oh she's got me ... Oh she hurts me ... someone call the doctor ... (her love makes me) overdose ... too much of your love makes me overdose ... too much overdose ... You're in my heart ... with you I can't stop", etc. This song is kind of a love song about how powerful love can be that it feels like no matter how much you try to resist it you keep getting pulled back in like a drug. However, for the storyline in the MV there might be a little more at play than just being drugged by love. Some theories say that the story in "Overdose" is connected to the story in their "Lucky One" MV. In "Overdose" the members get trapped in the maze and they can't find their way out. The red light represents the Red Force who have trapped them in the maze. It is thought that the maze causes the members to get disoriented and sort of become incapacitated so they are unable to defend themselves. The maze dulls their senses and makes it so they lose the ability to use their powers at full strength, etc. The theory speculates that sometime after the end of the "Overdose" MV, EXO gets captured or transferred from the maze and brought to the government facility by the Red Force and that is why we see them in a hospital-like setting in their "Lucky One" MV. In the story in the "Lucky One" MV the members are drugged and they are being experimented on to discover what makes them so special. In "Lucky One" the members use their powers to break free from the facility. And this is where some theories connect the story in "Lucky One" to the story in their "Ko Ko Bop" MV. One theory is that the story in "Ko Ko Bop" is them trying to detox from the drugs they were given in the government facility in "Lucky One" and the blue Ko Ko Bop drink Suho mixes and the members drink is supposed to counteract the effects of the drugs in their system. That is why they act so out of it and in a drugged state in "Ko Ko Bop." As you can see all of the stories in EXO's MVs are connected. We just have to pay close attention to every detail and put the pieces together. "Overdose" came out in 2014 and this is one of the last MVs where all 12 members are part of the song and MV. (Kris left the group right after this MV was released and Luhan will leave within the next 6 months.) You should watch the Mandarin versions of "Overdose," as well. :D If you watch EXO-M's version of "Overdose" you will understand why we say even though they may seem like they are similar MVs, there are distinct differences between the Korean and Mandarin versions that are important to EXO's storyline. Plus, I think you may even enjoy the Mandarin version of the song just as much, or more.

Exo is incredible, vocals visuals choreo... Everything about them is quality. Looking forward to more reactions!

Oh the memories! I still have dreams of crossing an EXO concert off my bucket list. After being a kpop fan for so long you realize that every moment in a groups career is so precious. The industry and the world can change over night. I've passed on kpop concerts saying, "I'll see them live later at some point." Only for the groups to lose members, or disband, or get caught up in legal issues, and never tour the same as they were again. Too often a group's prime is over before we realizing it's ending. Seize the moment, enjoy experiences, and don't you dare take anything for granted! I'm thankful we have these great videos to appreciate and look back on, and fantastic music to listen and reminisce. 💌☺️

This blessed day when we get double EXO!

I remember how much I liked this song, but it's been years since I last listened to it. After watching this video, I added it back to the playlist. 😁 It's still good. TT

U always point out a new things in your reaction and i love how u do it, just like this in "overdose" i noticed the thing i love in this song are the vocal and drum part, but u point out another thing and make me amazed once again to "overdose", pls react to another exo song (group/unit/solo) cause i wish there will be much more new things u could figure out in the song :)

You should check D.O guide sir. One of the best idol in History

One of my top songs of exo.

THANK YOU SO MUCHHH FOR REACT EXO, I WISH YOU WILL REACT MORE ABOUT EXO AGAIN 🥺❤️❤️

6:09 not forget HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR CHEN!!EXO-L always with you!!

This song is forever a masterpiece for me, not just because how fantastic it is, but also the memory I had with it, when EXO was in their glory time and I gave all my heart to them. Even though there are a lot of things happened during these years, we can never deny that the time when EXO with 12 members is precious.

This era was legendary

I get goosebumps in every line of this song.. it still blowing my mind..

Today is going to be great day. Because it’s Jongdae’s birthday and we got an Exo reaction💃

Yeayy I'm waiting for another EXO reactions 😍😍😍

Exo - growl

This song is amazing. EXO really are those men. The vocals are insane

Men, I've been a fan of EXO 8 years now and to hear this kind of compliment from someone like you is something worth appreciating. I never wasted my time watching you, its worth it men, worth it. Thankyouu! 🙏❤️

Exo_call me baby Exo_growl Exo_black pearl Exo_wolf Exo_ lucky one Exo_dont go(b side) Exo_promise Exo_sing for you

Thank you Aaron, my SM stan heart is so happy 🥺😘

Wow 😳 This song is so great ♥️♥️♥️

THIS IS MY BEST TITLE TRACK BY THEM

React EXO growl is the best song of kpop, EXO is incridible!!!

OMG!!! I jus watched your reaction to Kai's mmmh. Thank you for checking out EXO and other SM artists. I really enjoy your reaction to them.

Still one of the best KPOP songs I’ve ever heard

I actually became an EXOL exactly 2 days after this song was released and I couldn’t stop listening to it

EXO Music Videos are great. But live stages were really really really amazing

Oh shit! You finally reacted to the God tier MV/Song, I have been waiting for this since I subscribed( 4 months) omg!

I personally can’t wait to see your reaction to Wolf, I hope.

One of my fav song ever by them. Thanks Aaron🥰

Thank you for appreciating their music. I am so happy you're finally reacting to EXO. They're the vocal gods of 3rd generation. This is one of my favorite songs of them and I totally agree with your opinions.

omg I can clearly remember those EXO theories about this, like them having the good/evil members and Lay being the healer/peacemaker or smth 😆😆 Also, if you can remember, Siyeon had a rock cover of this song on V1 😉😉

I remember when you watched a guide to dreamcatcher and you saw siyeon’s cover but you didn’t listen because you didn’t want to spoil it as you plan on reacting to it in the future. This is the future.

Vocals King❤ Every Exo's song are awesome.

we should thank aaron for feeding into our SM hearts

This song is a masterpiece! EXO are legendary for the industry. Have you watched Dreamcatcher Siyeon's cover of this song? The melody was arranged into a more rock sound. It's wonderful.

Omg, it's EXO!!!

Can't believe Overdose was released 2014. It was ahead of its time. Iconic bop

Wow Aron, 2 exo reactions in one day and that to our vocal king Chen's bdy, what do we need more... Also this legendary song one of my most fav totally made me day..All exo discographies r best, hoping for more..next react to Call Me baby..

Hi Aaron, Thank you sm for reacting to EXO’s Overdose. I don’t know why but I’m crying rn AHHAHAH, I’m so happy that you point out new things and it makes me more appreciative to this song. I hope you can check their other songs too.

Yess! MORE EXO CONTENTS! Thank you for this! Really made me happy :)

This was my first exo song. I just happened to some across this and clicked on it and omg i fell in love. That was almost 7 years ago now.

Overdose choreo in the chorus is really interesting if you have watched historical dramas/take interest in culture. When they say "Someone call the doctor" they slap the two fingers of their hand to the other wrist. This relates to Traditional Korean Medicine where the doctor made their diagnosis mainly by outward appearance of face and tongue, asking about recent foods and such and feeling the pulse. So the slap to the wrist calls upon the pulse-taking.

this song is still a bop to this day

Hey Aaron if you want to watch drama or film you can watch 100 day my prince, it's a drama starring d.o from exo or you can watch swing kids it's a film also starring d.o. he's a really great actor

Exo are the best in harmonizing 😍

this song is perfect. music, lyrics, concept, vocal, performance and mv. all are on point. i love that you appreciated all of those factors.

I really love exo because vocal and dance is so amazing

i become a kpop stan thanks to this song. i remembered being OBSESSED with overdose!!! exo are sooo good!! 😭

EXO HAVE BEST DISCOGRAPHIE IN THE WHOLE KPOP

Always waiting for the next exo reaction ✌️

Watching reactions to Overdose is always a trip. I love them. I wish I could listen to this song again for the first time, I was so obsessed with it when I first listened to it. Thank you for the reaction!

This song is one my favorite exo song but I am more exciting with your reaction🤣👍💕💕💕💕

You or she may refer their fandom. Just before the song released, the biggest idol fandom, Exo-l, was created. And fandoms have ruled the kpop industry since then. They started selling CDs over one million when everybody said records era was over due to the internet and mobile downloading system. They open free their music on RU-vid, but still their fandoms buy CDs and goods, which makes the industry more rich and abundant.

That's why EXO called the king of kpop 3rd generation ☺ That's why EXO called the king of vocal at kpop industry ☺ That's why EXO at that time, can beat other groups in 2nd generation 😊 That's why EXO called legend 😊 That's why their concert can be the fasttest sould out in the world, 0,2 secend 😊

Wooo finally Aaron reacting again to EXO!!❤

8:44 Well I'm EXO-L but when I hear this part oh my gosh it's crazy!!! It's been years but so far it's very, very cool🥺🤍🤍🤍👏🏻

Purple Kiss covered the choreography of this song, they did great, you should see it.

You should check out siyeon cover of this amazing song...she did a rock version of it

I like watching reaction videos, they make me rerealize how good songs are. Makes me appreciates the songs more. I've just added Overdose again to my playlist.

if I say a kpop song that ahead of it’s time then it’s definitely Overdose

Each time I'm listening to exo i just get goosebumps

U should listen to growl mama and wolf ... These are such musical masterpieces especially wolf.

It's an undeniable fact and you saw that EXO have the best voice and High note ever

Hey Aaron, thank you so much for giving an EXO reaction today and also Kai's mmmh reaction. Today is Chen's birthday and this kinda made me happy. Have a good day.

aaron going to turn into a full on sm stan and i am here for this. ready for more reactions in the future!

Love your reaction Aaron

First song I heard in kpop🥺💚

this comeback of exo made the exo-ls create a lot of theories and unlock mysteries each teasers of exo members. i was amazed by detective exo-ls before 🤯🤣

He is DO the best voice of k-pop

Vocal kings

Indeed SM IS THE LEADER OF LEGENDS! PS. I LOVE HIS REACTION 🥺🥺😍😍THE WAY HE SILENTLY JAMS TO THE LYRRICS😍

Exo’s songs are timeless I’m sure if you dive more into their music you’ll like their discography sooo much, they have ONE OF THE BEST discographies in the world I’m not saying this because I’m ExoL but i was listening to other artists too and Exo were the first kpop group to get my attention and they never disappointed me!

EXO OVERDOSE ALBUM set the standards high for the MAMA ALBUM OF THE YEAR AWARD after EXO won that big award in 2014. OVERDOSE ALBUM is a MINI ALBUM that won the big awards in the same year. Since then, MAMA announced that you should have a full album to be nominated in the big categories.

"Overdose" is the best song/MV of K POP for me.Thank you for reacting "overdose" ..I really appreciate it💙

You should listen to their bside tracks from their early albums MAMA, XOXO and OVERDOSE. Their bsides from those three albums are my most fav songs from EXO. It's still sounds fresh and trendy. A true EXO classic

This song is so addicting indeed. What a nice title, Overdose! Thanks a lot for appreciating all the details you said about this song. Hopefully you can check their beside tracks more cause they're so worth it to listen to. Some of my fav EXO beside tracks: - All b-side tracks in Universe Album (their winter special album) - Walk on Memories - Bird (Japanese single) - Promise (what a ballad 😭) - Sweet Lies (you'll love that Aaron! Cause it sounds dark and catchy)

Glad to know that u like the song. Thank you. Hope u can react to more of them especially their live performances. Have a great day!

This was the first Kpop song I ever heard and I've been a fan ever since

EXO got me on their every song.Thanks for reaction.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh, EXOOOOOOOO ( thats what i scream when a noti pop up)

THANK YOU !

One of my favourites ❤

I guess we all are waiting for your EXO journey!

Good choice. Better late than never.👍 💙🌺
