EXO is the only kpop group I've followed since their debut. not only because of the personalities of each member but because each one of them is very talented and handsome, and it is also the only group that has different musical styles and masters them all. long live exo!!
Thank you so much for reacting to EXO..our Vocal Kings in true sense. They are an amazing bunch of talents, each one of them got their own unique tones n power but when they come together..they're unbeatables!
EXO debuted with 12 members in 2012 as 2 sub-units; EXO-K (sing in Korean-6 Korean members) & EXO-M (sing in Mandarin-2 Korean+4 Chinese Members). However, in 2014-2015, 3 Chinese members left the group for various reasons. So with only 9 members (8 Korean + 1 Chinese), they combined and became EXO. In late 2018, Lay, the only Chinese member left, could not perform with the group due to political tension between the 2 countries. So when you react to the MVs or live performances you will see different numbers of members due to injuries, members leaving, enlistment period, etc. EXO has a massive discography. Out of 9 members, the ones that already have solo albums are: Lay, Suho, Chen, Baekhyun, Kai, Doh Kyungsoo (D.O.) and Xiumin. However this year, probably very soon, Chanyeol will drop his first solo album. EXO also have 2 sub-units: EXO-SC (Sehun+Chanyeol - the rap line) and EXO-CBX (Chen+Baekhyun+Xiumin - the vocal line). EXO leader is Suho. Even though EXO have 3 amazing main vocalists (D.O., Chen & Baekhyun), the rest of the members are outstanding vocalists too.
Not many groups have mastered voice layering the way EXO has, they are and will forever be the blueprint for today's groups. Take a deeper dive, as a vocalist, you will be amazed.
“How can they all be this good… at vocals?” Now wait til you see their concert vids, it’s them flawless vocals with crazy choreo and sick stage presence! Love your reactions and feedback more Exo pleeease… super low note guy is rapper sehun on the right, rapper chanyeol on the lfet also does low harmonies… so good
They performed Power at the Olympics closing in 2018. The low note in Overdose was Sehun. They did this in one shot, one take. Please also react to EXO's B-Side Medley they did at their fancon recently. They styled it like the killing voice.

thank you for reacting to EXO's Killing Voice. they debuted on 2012 btw. they also have solos and sub-units. so there's a lot to check out. suggestions to watch next : ●EXO fan meeting 2024 b-sides medley ● hello82's Secret Duet ep.1 feat. EXO Chen & N.Flying's Hwe Seung (they sang Benson Boone's Ghost Town) ● Chen's performance on Begin Again (it's a busking/acoustic/outdoor performance) ●EXO live performances: Mama+Monster+Wolf, Intro+The Eve+Forever+Ko Ko Bop, Diamond+Coming Over+Run This+Drop That+Power ●D.O. on Lee Mujin's Service
They debuted in 2012 with MAMA as their debut song. They used to have 2 units with 6 members each unit. Exo-K (Korean) and Exo-M (Chinese). This Killing Voice episode really brought me back to kpop. I was a big fan of them when they debuted. Just stopped because you know, life happens. The moment they sang their old songs especially "Miracles in December" again after so soo many years, it genuinely made me tear up. That was my fav song of them (of all time). Glad you reacted to this one. Hope to see more of your contents 🤘😎
I haven’t read all the comments to see if someone else suggested it, but Baekhyun (silver-blonde guy) is an INCREDIBLE R&B singer. Check out his solo work, “Bambi,” “All I Got” (you’ll die), “Cry for Love.”
EХO is a mix of perfect vocals, harmony, vision and dance. Each of their songs will evoke incredible emotions in you. And their concert performances are a balm for the senses. ❤🔥❤🔥Тhank you😍

You just scratched the surface of the EXOplanet. Your review is probably the best I have seen out of 5 or 6. I can really see the appreciation you have foe their individual voices but having them here to as one. No shade to the other kpop groups but EXO is one of the best. Their discography is insane. When you listen ro their B sides...wow they don't spare any songs they have. They own it! Its really fascinating to hear each and every voice but also having to really hear them harmoniously. They have one of the highest voices and lowest. Listen to them. They have solo albums, subunit albums and do theater, kovies and tv shows. They are brand ambassadors to luxury as well as some local brands from different countries. They have the vocal three (Chen in all white, D.O. in black jacket and white pants and Baekhyun in black blazer with white undershirt and denim pants). Baekhyun is dubbed as the genius idol. Watch him sing Bambi and Hurt (duet with Seomoontak). Chen probably has the best and purest voice. You say that uou ca really see his emotions when he sings. He sings great ballads. His rap is more than decent. He can do rock. Watch Drop That. D.O. is regarded the Kelly Clarkson of Korea. When he covers other artists' songs...he makes it his. The one with the highest tone is the eldest Xiumin in denin jacket and pants. Watch the song Papercuts Which they performed in Japan with him as one of the member of EXO-CBX subunit...wow! Their very loyal and very supportive leader Suho in white or flesh top with denim pants has an absolute beautiful voice! Chanyeol and Sehun both rappers (seen in opposite ends) are in a subunit EXO-SC. The Chanyeol is not only a rapper but has a very nice singing voice. Sehun (the guy whose hair you liked) has a very deep voice. When he sings duet in some parts of their songs with Chen...absolutely wow! It bring out that very sultry voice he has. Listen to Don't mess up my tempo. Kai is currently in the military. He is one of the best if not the best dancers in Kpop. He has a very deep voice but also has a very nice tone. Lay, their only Chinese member is currently doing a lot of solos. His voice and dancing to is absolutely superb! Three of them have established their own companies (Lay, Baekhyun and D.O.). They are in the records of the fastest concert ticket-selling group that sold out in a few seconds.
laughed so hard when he said , it's like I'm watching kdrama , surprised 🙀!! no cuz they are kings of OSTs 😂🌟🌟 ma beautiful super talented boys from Chen to Baekhyun and DO not to forget Suho, Xiumin and Chanyeol, they all sing OSTs,supper low note was Sehun with the awesome haircut the rapper
Okay, so it's a little fact about EXO's music is that they have winter albums (not Christmas, because not all of them have that topic but are albums for winter season) the albums earnings go gifted to different places that needs it. Also EXO is the group of the winter in SK, the first snow was released during the first year of exo, one decade ago and still each years tops the #1 in the charts when the first snow falls in SK.
We exo fans can never get enough of their killing voice! And we’re glad you had fun with it 😊 they also had another set of killing voice actually it’s in their yt account it’s exo medley
Looking back at EXO's career has me realising I'm even more of an EXO-L than I thought. Their discography makes up the backbone of my time as a Kpop fan. Nice to see another person's thoughts on them!
Thank you for the reaction. All SM Entertainment artists, including rappers can sing. Some other SM groups: NCT, Shinee, Aespa, Super Junior, Red Velvet, etc. You get the point. 😆 Other agencies neglect vocals, especially these days, for dancing and performance stages. It doesn't hurt that EXO has 3 Main Vocalists. 😂
I wanted to recommended The world fastest sold out ticket Exoplanet4: the elyxion Diamond+coming over+run this+drop that+power (seoul) The vocal kings The Emperor of kpop The whole visual group The Nation's Pick The humble kings And many more You will never disappointed.. Their live is always better than the studio version because of vocals, the dance break, the added lyrics or dance break they never did the same even if it one song you will see the different in every perfomance❤
14:15 SO TRUEEEEEE OMG ❤ Love love LOVE seeing people discover EXO for the first time, no matter how long it took them coz THEY ALWAYS, ALWAYS gets blown away by them 😅 It feels like watching someone discover a new species ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Thank you for this reaction. Its so fun watching you enjoy them! Hope you try to explore more of their discography. You won't regret it one bit!
This was a really good way to start off the dive. I highly suggest, just to be easy, is react to MV's and Lives of all the songs on this list. MAMA from 2012 was their debut to answer your question of when they began. There were also 2 pre-debut MV's released (History and What is Love?) before MAMA MV. Be advised, in the beginning there were 12 members. Since then, 3 of the chinese members have left, leaving the nine members we have today. So over time, you will notice some MV's have more members and some less. Those MV's with less than 9 are because Lay is in China working on his solo career while tensions between China and Korea are high and other members have been doing their military service. So if you notice a face missing, do not be alarmed. So you wanna maybe start with checking out : History, What is Love and MAMA Love Me Right MV and Live Growl MV and Beauty and the Beast Live The Eve Live and dance practice Love Shot MV and Live Don't Go Live The First Snow live Monster MV, Live and Dance Practice Sing for you MV and live Miracles in December MV and Live Overdose MV and Live Call Me Baby MV and Live Power MV and live Also, recently, during a live event, they did another medley like this because fans loved this killing voice so much, on stage they did a main title track medley and a b-side medley on stage with live vocals. Should also check that out.
exo debuted in 2012! their youngest member turned 30 this year and their oldest is... 34, i think? so they're still fairly young for as long as they have been around.
He actually said it was a very prettty song and not a cute song. 😂 BTW -- The first song they sang "Growl" is considered the unofficial Korean anthem. Everyone in Korea knows it. There's even a running joke that if you don't know the song you're a North Korean spy. Ironic because the sing was famous even in North Korea which tells you how big the song was....
It doesn’t get old watching them even a year later! I loved your honest, respectful reactions! They truly are the best! But you need to go back to their debut and watch their early, ground breaking videos. Mind blowing good!
Yes, this Killing Voice performance, as the title indicates, is supposed to showcase EXO's outstanding vocals, so what you are hearing is a compilation of some of the best parts of their songs that highlight their vocal abilities. They debuted more than 12 years ago, so they have a lot of songs. You are only hearing a small fraction of them and only a few lines of each of the songs (And in some cases, they are singing lines from the middle of the song, so it may sound different when you listen to the actual song. Plus, in this performance they are missing two members, so some of their parts in these songs were different than the original versions because they had to cover for the members who were unable to participate in this program.) As you can see and hear, this is a LIVE performance with 100% live vocals. SM Entertainment -- which is the company that founded the Kpop industry and is one of the largest and most influential entertainment companies in Korea -- is known for having some of the best singers in Kpop. You can't be an SM artist without being an amazing singer. So even the company's rappers receive intense vocal training. (Just look at EXO's Chanyeol on the far left and Sehun on the far right, who are both main rappers, and, yet, they each have amazing singing voices. How often do you see rappers that can sing as well as them?) All of SM's rappers could even fill in as main vocalists in their groups. That is why the company has gained the reputation as the vocal powerhouse of the industry. And what you are hearing is why EXO are nicknamed "the vocal kings of Kpop". Another thing SM's artists and groups are known for is for being top tier when it comes to live vocals and perfect harmonies. SM artists are recognized for the fact that they all can sing live while performing intense choreography for hours in concert and still sound flawless the whole time. The company is known for having artists and groups who sound even better live than they do on their studio recordings, so that's why you really need to watch SM's and EXO's concert performances, because the songs are on a whole other level when they are live. EXO is currently a 9-member group, however, there are only 7 members in this performance. From left to right: Chanyeol (main rapper and lead vocal), D.O. (main vocal), Suho (leader and lead vocal), Chen (main vocal), Xiumin (lead vocal, sub-rapper, and dancer), Baekhyun (main vocal) and Sehun (main rapper and main dancer). The two members who are missing are: Kai (main dancer, lead vocal and sub-rapper), who is on hiatus right now because he joined the military May 2023, and will be away for the next 18 months; and Lay (main dancer, lead vocal and rapper), EXO's Chinese member, who is busy with solo activities in China. Xiumin is the oldest member, who is currently 34, and Sehun is the youngest at 30. They are seasoned veterans at this point, who are all highly respected in the industry for their talent. They have been doing this for more than 12 years now, and they hold concerts with more than 55,000 people in the audience and perform all over the world, so they all know exactly what they are doing. "Growl" is sort of a love song, but it's not a love song in the traditional sense. It's definitely not mushy or sweet. If you look up the lyrics for "Growl," you will see they are pretty much acting like a wolf or beast that can no longer control themselves around the girl, and they are warning her to be careful because all she does is make them want to growl and grab her and possess her, etc. "I’m warning you just in case (listen carefully) It’s dangerous now (so dangerous) Stop provoking me (there’s going to be trouble) I don’t even know myself ... My breath keeps on stopping You walk towards me You smile at me Maybe you’re attracted to me too .... A dark shadow has woken up inside of me Sparks fly in my eyes as I look at you Everyone step away from her (step away) It’s going to get fierce from now on I’m growling, growling, growling I’m growling, growling, growling I’m growling, growling, growling If you don’t back away then I don’t care if you get hurt ..." etc. "Growl" is literally the song that skyrocketed EXO into superstardom and it's now considered one of Korea's national anthems, if you have been a part of Kpop for any amount of time you have to know this song because it's part of Kpop culture and it's used everywhere. It was even one of the theme songs for the 2018 Winter Olympics. I mean it's one of the most covered songs by trainee groups and you can see and hear it being performed by people all over the place. "Growl" is the song that EXO are most known for. "Sing For You" came out in 2015 and it is literally, as the title says, EXO singing to EXO-Ls (EXO's fans). This song has an MV and it's all part of EXO's storyline. This song was released after 3 of their Chinese members left the group, so it's also a promise and apology song to EXO-Ls. As you just saw, "Miracles in December" is a song that is only sung by EXO's three main vocalists, Chen, Baekhyun and D.O. However, you will see all the EXO members in the MV because it tells another part of EXO's story. There is no MV for "The Eve" because it's a B-side track. However, it's the B-side song that they promoted with, along with their lead track "Ko Ko Bop," so they have a dance practice video for the song you will have to check out. "The Eve" is one of their most iconic songs and performances. EXO debuted in 2012 with their song "Mama." When you watch that MV and get to know EXO better, you will understand why D.O. was making jokes and they were all laughing when he introduced "Mama." EXO's debut and group concept is unlike anything you have ever seen before and "Mama" is one of the most epic debut songs and MVs ever created. This is the song and MV that explains EXO's entire storyline and concept. If you are ever going to understand anything about EXO you have to watch BOTH their EXO-K and EXO-M versions of their "Mama" MVs. "Overdose" is about overdosing on love like a drug and been trapped within a maze, so the sound of the song is supposed to be disorienting because you are supposed to feel like they are being brainwashed and unable to find their way out, etc. As the English lines in "Monster" say ... They're "Creeping, Creeping, Creeping .... Creeping in your heart babe" "You can call me Monster (because) I'm creeping in your heart babe." "She got me goin' crazy." The song's called "Monster," so the words are about acting like a monster: "Don't be afraid, love is the way ... I'm sorry, you make me sooo craaaazzzy, you know you dooooo." The song is about how they know they are bad for the person that they are in a relationship with, and they will most likely ruin them if that person stays with them. In the song, they are talking about how, I know that when we are over that I will have destroyed everything that is good about you, but I don't care because I want you so much that it doesn't matter to me. Therefore, it's good that "you can call me monster" because they are being straight forward and warning you from the very beginning, so you can't say you were blindsided by their actions. "The First Snow" is a B-side song on one of their winter albums (They have more than one winter/holiday album). The song is about the magic of the first snowfall of the season and how it's the perfect atmosphere to fall in love. This song is so popular that you can hear it being played all over the place in Korea on the first day it snows, and it's pretty much considered a winter anthem that gets played nonstop all season long, especially around the holidays. EXO's "Power" was also used as one of the theme songs, along with their song "Growl," during the 2018 winter Olympics. EXO even performed both songs during the closing ceremony. As "the nation's boy group," EXO was the only Kpop group to be selected to perform at the Olympics. If you like the sound of "Power" in this video, just wait until you see their live concert performance of the remixed version of the song. You should check out their "Diamond" + "Coming Over" + "Run This" + "Drop That" + "Power" set at their EXOPLANET #4 The ElyXiOn in Seoul in 2017. "Cream Soda" is their most recent song at the time, and the whole reason why they were on Dingo's Killing Voice was to promote this song and album, which is why the performed the whole song.
EXO stays long in the industry because of their talents . Aside from singing, rapping and dancing they are all good actors too except from Chen our OST king but he also acts in EXO next door and some musical theatre same with chanyeol ,Suho, Baekhyun,Xiumin and D.O they also know how to play musical instruments specially chanyeol the jack of all traits not to mention they are degree holders too
12:43 is Chanyeol (left side, white and black clothes) and Sehun (right side) who take low notes, they are rappers in EXO, in many songs they always harmonize with the other members.
Fun fact actually they sang both growl and power in 2018 winter olympics. They debuted in 2012 (mama song) you should see their lives and b side medley (the veey recent one)
Nothing in the singing entertainment come close to their voices and harmony how each complements the others vocals... Seen them in person and OMG they sound better in person! Love EXO FOREVER ❤️
i cant go on without telling you to react to baekhyun's (in this video he had the white hair) solo albums, imo he has the best solo discography of any idol, its absolutely insane. UN Village was his debut ep, City Lights, title track i highly HIGHLY recommend
I never watch react videos but this was recommended to me and because EXO is my #1 group, I decided to check it out. I'm so so so glad you liked their vocals and appreciated them!!
EXO's Killing Voice is the best ever! I also recommend you watch TVXQ Killing Voice - 20 years in the business and still going strong, and just 2 persons singing all the songs!
Literally no one can erase what's they've done and given for K-pop, exo was one of the best things that South Korea have, such an icon✨ I miss exo as group so bad😭 Check out their albums, exo's discography🔥
I think this is a smart way for someone discovering exo for the first time to watch their killing voice video, have an idea about their voices and discography then react to different songs and mvs later on! 👍
Although a majority of South Koreans are Buddhist, there are a lot who are Christian -- Prodistent, Catholic, etc. However, even if you don't believe in the religious aspect of the holiday, most people still celebrate Christmas for its commercialization -- giving presents, decorating with lights, hosting parties, etc. So it's common to have Kpop songs where they sing about the holiday spirit and Christmas regardless of your religious beliefs.
