0:34 shinee are still going strong 🥺 some of them are serving the military and taemin (the youngest member) just released his solo comeback Criminal please react to it
To more appreciate the visuals let's understand them, actually *EXO* till their beginning have a concept, they are aliens from *EXO-planet* with superpowers *"Mama"* mv (you know it), they fight the red force, every songs give us a hint of the story, i will explain from the end in *"Tempo"* mv (plz check it out next) they are the clones of the real *EXO* made by the red power, here in this mv *EXO* are fighting their clones *X-EXO* (or their inner evil self) At the end of the mv *EXO* or *X-EXO* break their neck, so who is the winner in this fight ??? and put earth on fire ??? So intriguing, suspense🤔🤔🤔, so we have to wait to their next comeback to understand the rest of the story !!! Thx and sorry for my English
obsession isn't just a song, it’s a cultural reset, a reason to breathe, and an escape from this cruel world. It's an art, the first gift you open on christmas, a hug from a loved one. It's everything you’ve ever wanted, everything you've ever need.
Going to Obsession (EXO's latest release) straight from Mama (EXO's debut release) is honestly a pretty damn great idea. I would say Obsession is their darkest, grittiest, and most story-based concept since Mama. There's a whole universe that's the concept of EXO, but it's quite a lengthy one so all that really needs to be known is that they have evil doppelgangers/clones with superpowers LOL. Also, not really sure if you meant you hope they have an album for this specific release or just an album in general, but the answer is yes to both! EXO actually has seven studio albums (one of them is Japanese) and a bunch of EPs and live albums. Would definitely recommend checking out more of their music, even if not for a reaction, just because EXO has such consistently great music.
Yes, obsession is EXO’s sixth studio album, you should check it out as it is has two different sides bright one and darker one just as their concept, you won’t regret it. Thanks for the reaction
What you saw in the "Obsession" MV was that EXO's doppelgangers were actually their alter ego clones and they were using their superpowers, such as Chanyeol with his fire power, Sehun uses his wind power to deflect the arrows and Suho controls water in the room with all the pictures of water, etc. to fight their other selves. You see the planet on fire in the end of the MV because it's supposed to show how the world is coming to an end as EXO (the good guys in all black) and X-EXO (the evil ones in the colorful outfits with crazy hair and makeup) battle for control, etc. X-EXO has been created by the evil Red Force and EXO and X-EXO are battling for control. EXO are trying to prevent X-EXO from taking over and corrupting humanity and X-EXO are trying to stop EXO from finding the Tree of Life and putting the two halves back together and restoring peace, etc. Everything EXO is involved in, and I literally mean almost everything, is connected in some way to their concept and storyline. EXO's MVs are kind of like a movie -- it's a movie that has been going on for the past 8 years -- since predebut -- and it has no sign of coming to an end any time soon. The one thing you have to keep in mind with all of EXO's MVs, and I really mean all of them -- including their sub-sub-unit MVs and a majority of the member's solo MVs. And because Baekhyun and Kai are involved, even SuperM's storyline -- is that they are all connected and they all tell a little more of EXO's story and why they are on Earth, etc. So as you may know,, to truly understand EXO you need to understand that EXO debuted in 2012. "Mama" is EXO's debut song and MV and It is how EXO was introduced to the world and it explains the group's concept. From day one, EXO's concept is that they are aliens from planet Exo and they came to Earth with superpowers to protect the Tree of Life from the Red Forces. Each of the members has a superpower that is unique to them and almost every MV will have at least one, if not all of them, using their powers. Exo, as in exoskeleton, means "outer," so as a member of EXO they are outside the ordinary.The group's concept comes from the real term exoplanet, which is a term that is used for a planet that is outside our solar system, so their name was chosen to represent the fact that they are stars that are "out of this world" when it comes to their talents. EXO's concept is also connected to real life planetary and solar events, so several of EXO's comebacks and new song releases for the main group of EXO are timed to when eclipses and other planetary phenomenons take place. For example, their comeback for their War album and Power repackaged album coincided with when we had a solar eclipse, etc. SM Entertainment, and its founder, Lee SooMan, has all of EXO's release dates and concepts planned out for years in advance, and it often has something to do with real celestial events that are predicted to take place. Now you also need to know that In the beginning there was 12 members and they were split up into 2 groups EXO-K and EXO-M. EXO-K sang and performed their songs in Korean and EXO-M sang and performed those same songs in Mandarin Chinese. EXO-K had 6 Korean members and EXO-M had 4 Chinese members and 2 Korean members. So to really understand their full origin story you have to watch both the K and the M version of "Mama", because the EXO-K version focuses on the K members and their powers and the EXO- M version focuses on the M members and their powers. However, since then, 3 of the 4 Chinese members have left the group (short answer to focus on their solo work back in China) but there is still one Chinese member left, Lay. (Any performances or MVs you watch that took place prior to May 2014 you will see all 12 of the members. Kris and Luhan left in 2014 and Tao left in 2015.) However, now, because they no longer have enough Chinese members they no longer do separate promotions, but they still produce almost all of their MVs and main songs in both Korean and Mandarin they just now promote all as one big group EXO with 9 members. However, in the "Obsession" MV there are only 6 members -- Suho, Baekhyun, Chen, Chanyeol, Kai and Sehun -- because 2 of the members -- D.O. and Xiumin -- are on hiatus during this comeback as they serve in the military; and due to the political issues between the Korean and Chinese government, Lay -- their Chinese member -- was unable to participate in activities with the group. So each new MV or project from EXO tells another part of the story, and over the years we fans have started to create a timeline and idea of what we think each part of the story is telling us. However, the introduction of "Obsession's" part of the story really threw all of our theories for a loop and it has made us question everything we have ever thought was happening in EXO's storyline. Since "Obsession" some think maybe EXO has been trapped somewhere from the very beginning and it has been X-EXO that we have been following all along. But I think it's still even more complex than that. I think at times we have been watching EXO and at times we have been watching X-EXO, -- with the release of "Obsession" we have only just discovering that it hasn't necessarily been EXO the whole time. With the new information provided to us through "Obsession," it also makes me question how Lay fits within the X-EXO/EXO storyline. Maybe he is one of the members who has been able to break free or avoid the Red Forces' control. In Lay's MV for "Sheep," the Allen Walker relift version, we see everything burning outside the window as if an apocalypse is happening. Maybe "Sheep" is showing us the planet burning from Lay's viewpoint, like we see the world burning at the end of the "Obsession" MV. Also, I believe that the storyline in "Obsession" is connected to SuperM's "Jopping" storyline. If you have seen "Jopping," you may remember what Baekhyun and Kai were wearing in that MV. Those outfits are very similar to the black outfits that Baekhyun and Kai are wearing in "Obsession." Kei is even wearing the same backpack parachute in both MVs. Which seems to be SM Entertainment's way of making sure we see the connection between those MVs. So because the members in black are supposed to be the EXO members who are the good guys, it seems to also indicate that the members who are in SuperM are the EXO members and not their X-EXO clones. So it is thought that, as part of SuperM's storyline, EXO has gathered the best of the best of SM's groups to help them battle the Red Force and maybe eventually take down X-EXO. Just like how the Marvel Avengers come together as individual superheroes with their own storylines to create the Avengers and to fight evil, it is thought that SuperM is coming together to create the ultimate super group to help EXO fight the evil and corruption inflicted on humanity by the Red Force. Unfortunately,, to make it even more difficult to understand, each part of the story is not necessarily in chronological order, so we as EXO-L (EXO fans) have to become detectives and analyze every aspect of all of their teasers, MVs, song lyrics, albums, concert VCRs, choreography and even live performances and piece it all together to understand the story behind it all. To help you pinpoint the powers being used in their MVs and live performances here is a list of the members and what their special power is. EXO-K 💦 Suho (Kim JunMyeon) is the leader of the group and he is a lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control water (Fun fact: Suho in Korean means guardian, as in the guardian of EXO. That's why as the leader of EXO, his stage name is Suho) 💡Baekhyun is a main vocalist and his superpower is the ability to control light 🔥Chanyeol is the main rapper and lead vocalist -- his power is the ability to control fire an.d his spirit animal is the phoenix. 🌏D.O. (Do KyungSoo) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control earth (dirt) which gives him strength/force ☄Kai (Kim JongIn) is a main dancer, lead vocalist and sub-rapper and his power is teleportation. (Kai means door or gateway, so his stage name symbolizes his role within EXO's storyline.) 🌪Sehun is the youngest member of the group and he is a lead rapper, lead dancer and a vocalist -- his power is the ability to control wind EXO-M ❄Xiumin (Kim MinSeok) is the oldest member of the group and he is a lead vocalist and lead rapper and his power is the ability to control snow/ice (frost) 🦄 Lay (Zhang Yixing) is the Chinese member of the group, he is a main dancer, lead vocalist and rapper -- his power is the ability to heal anything. 🌩 Chen (Kim JongDae) is a main vocalist and his power is the ability to control thunder/lightning/electricity (As you can see, Xiumin and Chen were given stage names that sounded more Chinese so they would fit in better in EXO-M because they are the Korean members of the Chinese unit) The Chinese members who have now left the group: 🐉 Kris was the leader of EXO-M he was a main rapper and vocalist -- his power was the ability to fly and his spirit animal was a dragon 💭 Luhan was a main vocalist and his power was telekinesis (The ability to control things with his mind) ⏰Tao (Z. Tao) was a lead rapper and vocalist and the martial artist of the group, so he did the flips and stunts in the group's routines. His power was the ability to control time
Love this song and the lyrics. It's a monologue in which one's self is struggling against the alter ego, trying to resist the temptation of following the desire. Well written and well portrayed in the MV.
If you find time, please react to exo's tempo! It is absolutely amazing and so unique! It has some parts that i think would be really interesting for you to hear and explain. In my opinion, it is a better representation of their image and shows their vocals, rapping and skills so much better! I am glad you reacted to exo and hope you'll do it more in future 😊
Can you do EXO album reviews? EXO's very known for their insane vocals and experimental discography. They're very versatile and I like how they don't stick to a single genre. Hope you could do an entire album reaction for them. I'm excited to know what you think about their discography.
OMGGG REACT TO EXO TEMPO AND SUPERM ONE PLS!!! THE PRODUCTION VALUE IS INSANE!! SM ENT LITERALLY NEVER DISAPPOINTS ON HOW THEY PRODUCED THE SONGS FOR THEIR ARTISTS!! THEY LITERALLY INSPIRED ME TO BECOME A MUSIC PRODUCER SOMEDAY TOO.
obsession is such a different song, and the whole album has another vibe than what we see in kpop usually. exo just executes whatever concept perfectly. i like your reaction!!! you’re very observant and honest 🙌🏼
I just know their songs have something that makes me want to keep listening to. I have no knowledge about music and your video makes me appreciate their music even more.
When they first started, after their debut, "Mama", which is also dark. They went back and forth between dark and poppy. Depending on the song. When they first started they had to do what the company told them. However, they are so good at what they do and at the time of this video several members were in the military, they get to do what makes them happy...and when they ate happy their music is really good. EXO proves everytime how amazing they are, when they get to do what they know is good....
EXO really is the best when it comes to harmonizing. I really love to listen when theyre harmonizing in the near end. So satisfying! And DO is not even there.
subscribing just bc you reacted to exo! i hope you do more reactions of them in the future and also their b-sides because they have some of the best discographies in the k-pop industry 🥰
Baekhyun from exo is the first soloist from Korea to become a Million album seller and and his latest song called "Candy" from this year (2020) is one of the most clean pop R&B influenced track its playfull. Its my favourite song of this year try candy next please you can see exo members colours as soloist.
Update for you: 2 members from EXO and 1 member from SHINee are together in a collaboration group called SuperM. They just debuted last 2019. Both EXO and SHINee are still active. They're just on hiatus due to mandatory military enlistment in Korea. 3 of the members from SHINee will finish their enlistment this year and I believe they'll release an album too.
ur reaction was so pure, so gentle, and so honest yet so professional. exo song is masterpiece, u should check another song from exo too. there's a bunch of good stuff
Absolutely love it when a person who knows what he's talking about appreciates Good music ! I heard this song SOO many damn times (even though I'm not exo-l fandom)
Finally! an EXO content!!!! I've been waiting for u to react to this group!!! Their productions are super insane! They're not your typical k-pop boyband! I would love to see you react to EXO's debut song MAMA (I would love to see you dissect it even u hear it before) , Tempo, and Wolf!
EXO are the vocal Kings of KPOP their live performances are lit too. Shinee is another great SM Group who lost a integral member to suicide a year or so ago. They are still together although half the members are in the military right now. S Korea is technically still at war so they have mandatory military enlistment tween ages of 18 to 28. I think 3 EXO members were in the military when Obsession came out. NCT is another younger group in the same vein as EXO but they have their own super talents. SM Entertainment who is the agency for these three groups...and many more have put together a new group called Super M to attract the American market. It is made up of 2 members from EXO Beckhyun (28) soon to enlist, Kai EXO dancer in crop top, 4 members from NCT Mark from Canada, Lucas, from Singapore, Ten from Thailand and Taeyong from Seoul . and the last member is Taemin, from the group Shinee who is a remarkable performer too.
I like that the last song you checked of Exo was their debut song when they were 12 members And now their recent song with 6 members FYI: they are 9 members now But one in China 3 in the military and they will continue to join till the last member because they join the military based on their age
oh,for somebody who remembers ''Mama'',their debut song, you have a lot to catch up, there are 8 years of good music, with many albums, each album being unique and original,different one from another Every comeback is epic, they kept the concept from the beginning and will carry it on in every upcoming comeback, just like this one too .. The beauty of everything is that even their b-tracks are amazing and apreciate even by the non fans,they choose their songs very carefully and challenge themselves ,embracing so many styles and genres ! ''Obsession'' is the Billboard Critics number one (1) choice for 2019 !!
Hey thank you so much for reacting to exo also can you please react to their album obsession it's a bop and exo is known for their experimental discography
Shinee is still a group! Some of the members are in the military service at the moment, but just today the youngest member released a solo track "Criminal" please check it out (and his other songs)
