This was my first time watching this dance practice along with you. That was so fun! I was smiling all the way through. I don't know why I never watched it until now because I was also always fascinated with the leg work. And Girl, don't worry about rewinding too much because I think I rewound about three times before you even rewound! ha ha ha! Even on the things you pointed out - I reround AGAIN after you did! There was a part where Kai and Lay were coming up the middle and hitting hard, so I reround that about 4 times LOL. I was on my way to bed and saw your post, so I had to watch it. I really love this song and choreography too! I'll probably watch this again tomorrow. Love your editing on this reaction - with a brief full screen so we could see the leg work and the wings on Chanyeol!
lemme pin this comment, bcs it warms my heart 🥺 so happy you watched this dance practice for the first time along with me and it was a fun experience for you, with all the rewinding, editing and discussion I added to the original video included~ 🤗💕
@@Landyra 🥰 wow thanks! Okay so watched it again tonight and rewound about 50 times again 😂. I think with that leg work, I keep thinking to myself that I want to try that, but I know that would fail miserably 🤣. Around the 9:43 mark of your video, I couldn't take my eyes of Lay and Kai and how hard they were dancing. I kept rewinding cause I was like "did Lay just add a tiny bit of Krump in there?" He did! I'm impressed! P.S. now I have to preference this with - EXO is my first love, that's my boyz, I love everything about them.....well, remember I mentioned I had watched this before going to bed?.. Now why was BTS in my dream last night? 🤣 😉😄
EXOLs please pray for Xiumin’s fast recovery he was Covid-19 positive and was confirmed yesterday 😔 also for Kyungsoo he have a spinal therapy (idk exactly what happened but it was reported) I also hope other members are negative tho and the staffs
I mean you can rewind, pause, scream all you want ma’am, this is your reaction videos and we appreciate every effort u put into this! Enjoy all u want and don’t mind those viewers who doesn’t like reactors rewinding the videos lol. U can fangirl with us! We feel you!! ^^
I'm not sure if you know this or not, but the majority of the choreography for EXO's "Monster" has to do with the members using their powers, so if you know what you are looking for, you will see that each move is done for a very specific reason. The X they make to represent EXO is only the beginning of the story in their choreography. Every move of the choreography has been designed to be an extension of their story and it uses elements of their dance to represent several of the members using their powers. For example, D.O. has the power of super strength, so during his part in the song and choreography you will see that he waves his hands and the other members are pushed away from him or pulled toward him. When you see Suho in the middle of the group and they have a hold of his arms, he rotates his body around like swirling water because Suho has the power to control water. Xiumin has the power to control snow/ice/frost, so during one part of the choreography you will see that each of the members pause as if frozen as he moves in front of them. Sehun has the power to control wind, so during his parts, you will see the other members shuffle around him as if they are creating a windstorm. And the part where they are sitting on the ground is supposed to represent a sundial -- EXO gets their power from the eclipse and their powers are affected by planetary and solar phenomenon, so the sundial is meant to represent the passing of time and their connection to the sun. Also, fun fact: At the end when they say "creepin', creepin', creeping," the dance move they are doing is called The Creep, from the iconic 1990s American girl group TLC, which was created for TLC's song "Creep." So the choreographer added this dance move as a nod to a famous dance move from the '90s.
the dance practise is too good that it could become like an actual mv , but the best part of the mv was * 9:48 THAT HIFI IN BETWEENN KAI AND LAY * ....aaahahaahahahahah i always cry at that point it wasnt in choreo but they just did it , and its so cool to see them doing that ..idk but as an exol its really so cool and so amazing and so emotional its just too good...i remember they left position for lay during the kbs (where whole of the sm performed)..its just too good this 1 sec is the best.
sorry for the sloppy editing at some points, I finished preparing this at 3 AM in the morning before finally getting my first vaccine shot a couple hours later and then going home to my family in another state for a visit, so they can keep an eye on me in case of side effects~ I had to rush quite a bit to make sure you're getting reactions regularly while I was gone 👀 also little correction, because I cut out a lot of my less relevant talking during the reaction (as usual), which made that part come out a bit misunderstandable in the end: it kinda sounds like I got trouble telling apart several members during this reaction, but it was actually just Suho! Shame on me though, Suho still gives me trouble! I got another solo reaction planned for him very soon in attemps of fixing this, and generally it's getting better, BUT the hair and his SUPER young looking face here threw me off a lot - combined with the fact that I somehow had him filed as one of the tallest members apart from Chanyeol, Sehun and Lay!? that really didn't help the case either 🙃 The other members were all pretty easy at this point though, even though Baekhyun threw me for a loop for half a second because he didn't have his signature hairstyle and along with Suho shows the five year difference the strongest! Anyways, before I get comments along the lines of "omg, how can you not recognize them yet!?" - I found everyone super easy to recognize, apart from Suho and mayybe a split second of baekhyun-confusion because he looked so young and cute here! 🥺
Please react also to their oh la la la dance practice haha. It's so synchronized but SM deleted it but because EXOLs are so fast on saving it they uploaded it again. Some exols believed that sm deleted it because of too much synchronization haha. I wish you read this
Also I needed this to cheer me up, we are all worried for Xiumin (and the other members though he is currently the only confirmed one) right now. But he is strong so I'm sure he will be fine ^^
Hi! I'm an EXO-L for a long time (like I've been a fan since they were still OT12)! I really enjoyed watching your reaction videos for EXO. I literally had watched all of your reaction videos for them. I'm glad that you like them (even love them). I love that you react to "Monster" 3 times. I really love monster. It's my top favorite! But I love all of their songs! Thank you so much for appreciating them. ❤️❤️❤️ My first ever bias is Tao. I don't know if you remember him. I cried when he left EXO. And when they already OT9. D.O became my bias and he is still my bias right now. All of them are my bias wrecker. But Baekhyun & Chanyeol really amazed me most of the time. ❤️ And btw, I'm not an army. But I really like BTS also. I know a lot of their songs. Fake Love & DNA are my favorite. I like Butter too. ❤️❤️❤️
SO LANDY this was the last ot9 thing ...and its been ages since then we are dying to seem all of them together in one frame , its hard but its worth the wait
The MV makes me Curious and dig more about EXo... and the dance practice makes me decide to be EXO L.... Monster is my fave periodt.. you’re right no matter how many times you listened it you still have a new experience... what a song...
@@Landyra Please react also to their oh la la la dance practice haha. It's so synchronized but SM deleted it but because EXOLs are so fast on saving it they uploaded it again. Some exols believed that sm deleted it because of too much synchronization haha. I hope you read this
I don' think there is anyone that doesn't like Monster dance practice....this is one of the most iconic dance practices we have ever seen...we luvvvvvv it❤️❤️❤️❤️
yay!! you found the dance practice!! Pls react to CBX Blooming Days practoce too PS: I was about to sleep... but Landy uploaded... so, who cares if I don't sleep?
Yess! I set this one very high on my list right after the Mama + Monster + Wolf performance reaction 👀 please make sure to not loose too much sleep due to me though, sleep is amazing! 🤗✨

Sorry, I won’t ._. I didn’t know about it beforehand and I’m currently still with my family, so I can’t film anything new until I’m back at my apartment where my equipment is.. but I’m planning more funny reactions soon anyways, so stay tuned for a bit longer 👀
@@Landyra OMG THANK YOU!!! also EXO ARCADE SEASON 2 IS ON RU-vid! if ever u want to watch it with us 🥺 it’s basically exo playing games and such hahaha there’s also EXO ARCADE S1 but it’s not available on RU-vid:((
I genuinely enjoy seeing your reactions to music videos and other casual videos because I love to see how you are slowly becoming accustomed to their characters and features as individuals. It’s so fun to hear (and see) your input, especially when you fangirl over the Monster legwork like the choreography deserves 😅 I love it!
don’t be sorry for rewinding/pausing too much this is a dance practice video after all. a lot of us paused so much more than u 🤗 u hav a good eye actually for seeing the different “quirks” of the members when u noticed how lay gets up. i was actually hoping that u noticed the last bit during chen’s outro. 12:41 lay is so cool 😎 thanks for appreciating their dance style
There is monster performance mv version too. And the performance of transformer and monster at mama was amazing you have to see. Thanks for the reaction I enjoyed alot
I got alot of fun landy HAHAH. i like it when you vibe with the song and how you rewind on parts you like .. on the reaction length .. i am fine.. i do love long reactions but you did improve in cutting your react vid.. too long might get your watchers bored.. this is a nice reaction.. I see you are enjoying it.. it is nice to see your progress as a casual fan haha .. cutie as always
we are completely okay with even if you rewind for 50 times bro we love to listen again and again and again and then all over again . do how many times you want to dont mind us.
I have seen this dance practice multiple times. But when you are analyzing this part by part, I felt I am discovering new aspects of this choreo again. Really loved your reaction. I think you know yesterday 5th August EXO-L was born back in 2014. Exols worldwide celebrated their birthday with different fan projects. They got wishes from Sehun, Chanyeol and Baekhyun. Amid this celebration they also got two news which concerned all of them. DO is suffering from neck pain, went to clinic for treatment. His busy schedule is taking a toll on his health. On 5th Xiumin is diagnosed with COVID-19. He was recently busy with his different shooting schedules which might have exposed him to this virus. So on 2021 EXOL birthday, every one had a mixed feeling. See you next Friday.
I totally get you when it comes to recognize them, I took a couple of months to really recognize them in different hair and clothes but I created a system that helped me. Suho and sehun were the same for me, but I could differentiate by the height and sehun's face is longer than suho's, Kai is by the nose, chanyeol by the ears, Chen and kyungsoo by their mouths, xiumin is for the eyes, lay is for the cheeks, and baekhyun is for the ears and mouth. In the songs I learned to differentiate their voices, it helped more. Hope I can help some new EXO-L lol
Before i stan exo. I already really love this dance practice.. When i wanna watch some dances i always go to exos dances. Thats when im not in this kpop world yet
Hi Lyndra thank you for this reaction, happy you appreciate these talented men. How about taking a look at EXO-K overdose MV and check their choreo.. you might like it as well
Yay! I'm finally early!! (I re-watched your reaction to come up w the timestamps, tho, so I'm technically still late. xD) Monster is the kinda song that never gets old! Can you believe it was released in 2016? Because, honestly, to me it seems like a much, much, MUCH recent song. Also, yes, like you said, you did miss quite a lot and if you'd wanna know, I'll leave some moments here. P.s.- these aren't my observations, there are just the few interesting details that I remember from the very many Monster dance chereo analysis videos I've watched. 1. 3:07 to 3:13 (it also continues into his verse til 3:25 because they keep mirroring his steps, but it's the most evident here.) The members under Baekhyun's control: In the very beginning, those first few step represent that the members are under Baekhyun's influence like in the MV. (He was the only one that wasn't caught during their heist, if you remember. He is also the one to free them later, making me believe that he has an important role to play in EXO's whole storyline.) Now, I'm not completely sure what this means; if Baekhyun is good or evil in the story, but that doesn't matter here. The control is pretty clear from the moves, tbh. With every motion of his hand, the members change positions. ( 4:46 to 4:53 uses the same concept.) 2. 3:26 to 3:34 (especially from 3:30 to 3:34 ! Also seen from 6:15 to 6:21 ) D.O. using his superpower of strength (his power is Earth/physical strength, take your pick. We've no clarity on how, but he seems to be able to cause earthquakes and/or crack the ground just by forcefully stamping it; references to MAMA MV, if I recall right.) to control the EXO members. It's most evident when he's seen pulling the members towards him during the lyrics "닫혀 있지 Yeah yeah" and then pushing them away at the start of Chen's verse. (I can read Korean, but I don't understand it. I had to Google this to put it in haha! But I thought since you take Korean classes, you'd be cool w it.) 3. 4:59 to 5:03 I'm not sure about this one, but the way they all seem to be handling Suho and reaching out to him one by one and not all at once makes me believe that all their superpowers are connected. (Well, OBVIOUSLY, but I meant that perhaps if one loses his strength, so do the others, that sort of thing. That's why they are ONE and need to love each other in order to keep their strengths.) 4. 5:43 to 5:47 Suho creating ripples among the members. (His superpower is water.) 5. 6:01 to 6:05 Sehun making the members move/flow like the wind, hence the quick, tiny steps. Anyway, I'll stop at this, otherwise my comment will get too long. (Not like it isn't already😭) This choreo is by far one of my favs! Hopefully, Xiumin, our fake maknae gets well soon. (He's never ageing, a true vampire!!) And D.O. needs to rest too. Please keep them in your prayers. Love you and thanks for the honest reaction, as always.♥️ Also, typing this with their stage names is so tough.😭 I wanna always use their real names lol
LANDY YOU HAVE TO REACT TO OOH LALALA DANCE PRACTICE IN THE NEXT DANCE PRACTICE VIDEO...And Dance practice of "blooming day" by CBX is REALLY REALLY GOOD TOO.
Yay, loved this, Landy! And I love love love this video, too! LOL at you betting *a certain percentage of your life* for identifying Kai/Jongin. 😂 The first time I saw this, I watched it 11 times (once for each member, then twice more as bookends hahaha). Love the details in their choreos and videos--the legwork, the Lay-Sehun-Minseok barrier that Chanyeol had to jump over, Jongin and Lay's high-five... you're right, so satisfying to watch! Enjoy your vacation, and 'til the next video! 😊
Looking forward for when you'll be back. Though its super different from monster (which is really hard hitting and badass) I'm excited for your D.O solo reaction. How you reacted to monster is super legit as well coz monster is always an experience whenever you watch and listen to it. This is really one of their super successful music and I wish more people would get to listen to it. Loving your react videos as always! Fighting!
You should give a try to Lay solo literally you won't be disappointed ^_^ I recommend you Namanana, Honey, Give me a chance and let's shut up and dance
Landy it's okay to get them wrong.. At first I thought Chanyeol looked like baekhyun!! So it's super okay and those comments can go to hell never let them bother you we're here to enjoy music together not bash each other so please feel free to say who you think this member is and we'll be right in the comments giving you the right answer✨
im sad. my patreon subscription isnt working. ill try to find a way to get back.. your reaction, and the parts you put on repeat is the same part i want to repeat to. its satisfying when you had to pause and repeat a part hahaha
aww no! If it‘s anything I could possibly help with, let me know! I‘m still figuring out patreon aswell though, so I’ll probably not be of much help 👀 but don’t stress - the videos on will still be there waiting no matter how long it takes to figure out 🤗
I really don't think they look different now from 5 years ago. But of course for someone who isn't familiar with the members that well, you could get confused as to who's who especially since it's dark and all in the video.
I only react to Japanese content on Patreon due to copyright - i did react to Electric Kiss there recently though and will most likely check the dance practice soon aswell~
OK but did I studied too much.... Or smth ut it really feels like the days are going by too fast and every 2-3 days gap when I open you there's your new reaction.... Not that I'm complaining.
