To clear things out, this is basically EXO'S feelings of what has happened to them. The memebers disappearing represents them drifting apart, chanyeol is fighting suho to let him know that whatever happened was not his fault and he shouldn't leave. kai dancing is his way to avoid and free himself from the troubles. d.o is in the car angry at all that happened, sehun represents what we see on the outside and inside and what they are searching for. At the end they all connect with each other again and bring back that bond that broke. The whale represent the 52hertz/ lonley whale, the whale let's out a "chorus call" thay can be heard from miles away, it's a sad tune the whale sings when it's lonley. It fits with exo because each memeber drifted away but they heard each other calling and came back. That's why at the end kai gets up and runs back with a whale behind him, representing that they have once again found eachother😢 I cry so much, exo why??
The whale & astronaut theory behind theMusic video is amazingly deep and beautiful. A lot of people say the whale and the astronaut/space concept did not make sense in the Sing For You MV, but it actually has a lot of significance. The whale concept was derived from the a whale called Alice aka ‘The Loneliest Whale in the World’, who is an unidentified whale species, being the only whale emitting a call at 52-hertz. The astronaut concept was derived from the story of the astronaut who spent 48 minutes in his spaceship and coming back saying that those 48 minutes were the longest and most loneliest of mankind. The combination of these two concepts placed within the MV discusses being away from home, being somewhere unfamiliar(since the whale and astronaut is in space) and being isolated. Isolation was one of the themes in the mv. The song and the MV seems to talk about how everyone, in their lifetime, would meet a low point where they feel most isolated and most out of their place, but that this song (and EXO) will be there to warm their hearts. Also there is another Concept inspired from "PLUTO" & and it's satellite "CHARON". CHARON has a dark splotch (like a Whale) and the heart-shaped area on is found on "PLUTO". They are not included in the solar systeme, because there is only 9 planets in the solar system. It seems that those 2 planets Represents EXO & EXO-L (fans) because they both can't be separated.
+Beyond the milky way actually, BTS has a whole song speaking about this. There's no need to be salty, it's a suggestion if you find this topic interesting, not even saying EXO plagiarized BTS or anything, but the song is pretty dope.
One of the theories was that the MV was based of a story called The Astronaut's Whale. The story is basically about a whale who lives alone in space and one day he befriends a astronaut. The whale felt that it dodnt belong in space so the astronaut took the whale to the sea where the whale finally felt like it belong. They parted ways but promised each other to remain as friends and to be there for each other. The whale could represent Kris, Luhan and Tao and the astronaut as the rest of Exo... the whole mv is about how they were once happy but began to go through many hardships making them feel upset, lonely and caused them to drift apart... the fight with chanyeol and suho is probably chanyeol trying to tell suho to stop blaming himself because it's not his fault. In the end they overcome the hardships and the pain and are able to live happily together again like before
No its not a single ! Its a winter specal album with a double titel track ( sing for you and Unfair )( its has 5 songs : Unfair, sing for you , Girls x friend, On the snow and lightsaber ) Please do a fist listen !
That WHALE is now EXO-L's favorite thing about their winter album!! Someone also posted that Sehun is looking for the lost whale, who ended up in space instead of the ocean. >_< I can't with the fandom! EXO FIGHTING!
I believe that the whale is loneliness, this would be 52 hertz whale considered the "loneliest whale" is the same as the BTS used as inspiration for music Whalien 52.
Ok to all people, ( because I used to study these kind of stuff lol.. ) Don't ask me why, but I love it. The whale spirit animal is the earth’s record keeper for all time. As a totem, the whale teaches you about listening to your inner voice, understanding the impact your emotions have on your everyday life, and following your own truth. When the whale enters your life, it may be time to closely examine where you are, the actions and emotions that have brought you to this point, and what you can do to alleviate existing drama and unrest and find peace. Those who have the whale as their animal totem are in touch with true reality. They are nurturers and go-getters who understand there is more to this life than meets the eye. The whale, is the spirit of your "inside", your inner voice, the spirit of your mind. This song, is so deep you really have to know the meaning, the production of this video is simply genius, I really thank Korean for making this kind of music. I never say that but please thumb up, lot of people will understand this meaning, it's art, and genius, and amazing.
Literally nothing to do with whalien, like you think that they decided to shove a whale in there and animate it because bangtang talked about a whalien? No.
+Owl-e exo officially announced sing for you on November 27th bts announced hwayangyeonhwa part 2 in their prologue on October 10th they unofficially announced it with i need h on may 10th . I agree that they should not be compared as exo copied bts. But it is important to remember that when bts wore uniforms exo-ls were in their face saying they copied exo. You are right it could be a coincident, everything can be a coincident thats why exo-ls should not bash other groups thinking that no one will ever bash theirs.
+Owl-e once again i do agree its a coincident thats not my point my point is exo-l think there are coincidence when it comes to exo but not when it comes to other groups. And did the entire universe except you miss their 2014 christmas album?
I think it has to do with a poem called the astronaut's whale. it is about a whale who feels lonely and an astronaut. they become friends and go to space. then after the whale's exitement about being in space runs down and starts feeling sad and lonely the astronaut helps him understand that he probably feels homesick and that he belongs in the sea. they part ways but remain friends in the end.
This refers to The Whale Concept and the Whale Poem. Alice, the loneliest whale on earth and Michael who spent 48 minutes in space coming back saying it was the longest and loneliest 48 minutes ever. That car DO's driving is a Japanese car called, "Whale" XD plus the poem is about a whale and astronaut who meet each other, the whale is lonely and follows the astronaut, then both realize where they should be. The mainland and sea where their loved ones are. All in all, YEEeEeEAaaAAaAaAaaH.
The whale concept was derived from the a whale called Alice aka ‘The Loneliest Whale in the World’, who is an unidentified whale species, being the only whale emitting a call at 52-hertz.Even any of his kind hear him, he doesn't stop singing. The astronaut concept was derived from the story of the astronaut who spent 48 minutes in his spaceship and coming back saying that those 48 minutes were the longest and most loneliest of mankind. This Mv tells us how they were about to separate in hard times, how they thought about giving up, how they missed old times, but when two lonely,.astronaut and whale find each other, members getting ONE again, there is also a poem about astronaut and whale meeting in space. Astronaut shows the way of ocean to whale to find his home again. One of this symbol is Exo-L and other is Exo. Exo-L rescued them from separating, didn't let them give up. And Exo ll always sing for Exo-L even we hear, or not
I watch a lot of reaction videos and you are in my top three for sure. But seriously your facial expressions kill me. Like I really cannot. You are so expressive I love it. Great reaction! (:
There's a poem called The Astronaut's Whale. Someone on Tumblr mentioned it before the MV and I think it makes sense that the MV might be inspired from that.
Hey JRE, cheers from Russia)) The Astronaut, who spent in the open space 48 minutes and described this experience as the longest and the loneliest time in his life. Alice the Whale... The simbol of loneliness. That's all I wanted to say to you))
Thank you for making these reactions you can always make me laugh and whenever I am sad I always watch your videos and they give me a reason to smile. When I'm having a bad day I look forward to being able to come home and watch your videos because I know that they will make me smile, I love your videos they are so funny and interesting💙💜
In the first part, you can see the members being happily together, then it showed how they disappeared one by one. When Kai appeared alone in the bedroom, I knew it's him reminiscing that past. Kai witnessed the members fight and disappear one by one, so him smashing the mirror is because he's mad that he didn't do anything about it. Kai is full of regret and loneliness. When he ran towards the car, there's a whale behind him because he represents a lonely whale. In theory, a "lonely whale" is a lone whale in the ocean that sings to call for likeliness (whales are known to "sing" as a form of communication). Like a lonely whale, Kai felt alone after losing people in his life. The video then showed the happy moments again and the whale seeing an astronaut. Kai running "back" towards the car is a way to show how he realized how important those moments were. What does this tell us? Always treasure everyone who is around you and with you because no matter how cliche it may sound, you never know what you have until it's gone. You may experience obstacles together along the way, but never give up on these people because "no one is truly alone in this world" - which is shown by the whale finding an astronaut scene. So how is it related to the song? "Sing For You" is about a person courageously confessing things he normally wouldn't say to the person he loves and treasures. So basically, both the music video and the song are trying to convey the same message - know how to treasure all your loved ones, know how to value them. PS. Why the space? Well, "space whale" is apparently a thing. It's a sci-fi myth related to the space being referred to as an ocean. They probably incorporated the real lonely whale theory to the space whale myth because it fits Exo's concept. The whole thing isn't totally random like you all think.
HEY!!! i was waiting for this video since exo song come out...i was like: " yo... JRE is going to do a reaction video...i have to see it !!!" and now here i am xD omg...your reaction to Chen's part was exactly like mine " oh...shit...well ...damn!"
The whale represents the the thoughts of the viewers confusion with what's going on.It's so big it's a whale, that's what I got from it. P.S I didn't finished kindergarten.
killing me with the different versions again like why!!? you're just making me feel bad for not getting all the member's versions. also when i first watched this, I was like, It's christmas why you make me sad ;-;
in the end where kai ran td.o who was driving aimlessly there's whale in the background. sehun in spacesuit comforting the lone whale. so in reality it was us(exo-L) who witnessed exo's hardships and stayed with them. exo were having problems but at the same time comforted us by singing for us.
"What the hell was that in the background? when kai was running?" hahhaha you see the tiniest details. but it's actually just kai kicking up snow when he was running XD
Seriously people. The whale is the loneliest whale on earth and the space man is the guy who got lost in space for 48 min. and he said it was the loneliest minutes in his life. I LOVE THOSE REFERENCES!!!!
basically what happened is that this entire song is about lost friendship. it seems as though something has happened to jongin, possibly that he died, because he is the only connection between the members. this is seen when he catches the ball that minseok threw, how his moves mirror chanyeol and suho's fight, his running towards kyungsoo's car, and the whale appearing behind him. the members blame themselves for whatever happened to jongin and therefore, live in the past (all the members disappearing), and don't meet again. sehun is the one who is most affected by this because of how alone he is out in space, and the symbolism of the lonely 52 hertz baleen whale. in the end, the members start to forgive themselves and the past becomes the present once again. this is also shown by how sehun meets the whale at last. the song is really sad, but it intends to give hope for something better.
- to stop fanwars - BAEKHYUN AND TAEHYUNG FRIENDSHIP IS SOOO ADORABLE. THEY WEARED SAME PULLOVER THESE LIL CUTIEPIE - pray for an BTS/EXO collab' after this Whale story. We need it in our life )
I think the theme is that they are always together, so if someone is gone, not there anymore, they become sad. I feel like this is more for the member who have left. Its a song to tell the three member how they felt. Last christmas, they were all together, now those three are gone. Its never the same anymore.
loved the song, cant wait for their new winter album to come out. peter pan is still my favorite track from the last one. cant wait to hear the songs for the new one ♡♡
+JREKML i think you will understand more about the mv if you read the lyrics :) this is really a very sad song there is actually a very deep meaning behind the mv the astronaut and the whale symbolize loneliness (the whale is alice, the loneliest whale in the world) so basically it talks about all difficulties that exo have overcome :'(
+ JRKEML it's a whale!! This whole song is dedicated to Alice the Whale which is the loneliest whale ever lived and can't communicate due to having too high frequencies.. it's so smart and precise and beautiful if you know the real meaning behind it! It gives me goose bumps.
The whale’s name is Alice. It is lonely because the Hertz it makes is too high. No any whale can hear Alice’ voice. It’s just like a dumb for other whales. They can’t communicate with it. So Alice doesn’t have any families and friends. It’s the loneliest whale in the world. The astronaut represents the person, Michael Collins. He has ever gone to the moon, but he was unsuccessful. Even when he passed the moon, his communication equipment wasn’t functional. He couldn’t communicate with earth. He stayed in the space for 48 minutes. It’s the loneliest 48 minutes of humans.
李姿瑩 same! Sm produces music videos that are outside of the box. Like if we really have to understand what was going on,we'll work our assess off to find meanings and connect it with the video.
To clear things out, this is basically EXO'S feelings of what has happened to them. The memebers disappearing represents them drifting apart, chanyeol is fighting suho to let him know that whatever happened was not his fault and he shouldn't leave. kai dancing is his way to avoid and free himself from the troubles. d.o is in the car angry at all that happened, sehun represents what we see on the outside and inside and what they are searching for.

Did comment made me tear like for reals
+eli yixing Sherlock Exols to the rescue again xD This makes so much more sense now. I thought I was going crazy when I saw the whale behind Kai
lol its like whalien 52
+eli yixing The song is about someone confessing though...
+- ̗̀infires man ̖́- i was thinking the exact same thing because Whalien 52 is literally about a lonely whale

***** it was my pleasure :)
+Beyond the milky way makes me think of bts - whalien 52
침침 so ?
Beyond the milky way ah nothing just saying haha
+Beyond the milky way actually, BTS has a whole song speaking about this. There's no need to be salty, it's a suggestion if you find this topic interesting, not even saying EXO plagiarized BTS or anything, but the song is pretty dope.
" can you find TOP over there?" hahahaha
+Iza Meelo I'm exoL and I was thinking the same lol

To baekhyun : BOY GET YOUR ASS BACK IN THE CAR
I believe that the whale is loneliness, this would be 52 hertz whale considered the "loneliest whale" is the same as the BTS used as inspiration for music Whalien 52.
yup... -_-
+Gely Gonzalez dont even start
+Gely Gonzalez how is saying "yup" agreeing that its similar, also with an obvious annoyed face haha nice try
roz monster im still not hating on exo, so yeah,but wateva
+Renata Abreu Santos that was my first thought!
Ok to all people, ( because I used to study these kind of stuff lol.. ) Don't ask me why, but I love it.

This song, is so deep you really have to know the meaning, the production of this video is simply genius, I really thank Korean for making this kind of music.
I never say that but please thumb up, lot of people will understand this meaning, it's art, and genius, and amazing.
The feels were hitting me as hard as Suho was hitting Chanyeol
Literally nothing to do with whalien, like you think that they decided to shove a whale in there and animate it because bangtang talked about a whalien? No.
+WarriorWolfeh lmao right. i'm an army too but some annoying fans just have to connect everything to BTS like damn not everything is about them
+Owl-e exo officially announced sing for you on November 27th bts announced hwayangyeonhwa part 2 in their prologue on October 10th they unofficially announced it with i need h on may 10th .

+Narjis Al-Araji lol yes generalizing the fandom is great
+wuyishuan im not the one who generalized it Beatles Code did
+Owl-e once again i do agree its a coincident thats not my point my point is exo-l think there are coincidence when it comes to exo but not when it comes to other groups. And did the entire universe except you miss their 2014 christmas album?
"BOY GET YOUR ASS IN THE CAR" lol i cant stop laught
You know why Sehun was in space? He was trying to find his lines!
not funny
Silver swag you're right.
Kiane Davis I found this quite hilarious and my bias is Sehun
EXO-L's Christmas will never be happy
I need to agree😂😂
time to feel depressed when I think of Christmas and EXO. SM, the company do give their viewers depression from EXO MV's
"Can u find T.O.P overthere??" 😂😂😂👏👏👏
that was so funny
I seriously don't get the space whale I mean what is this Doctor Who?
+Leah Hurst your comment made me happy. And sad.
+Candidpop answer the question ?
+Leah Hurst if it was an invisible space whale it would be Dan and Phil
I think it has to do with a poem called the astronaut's whale. it is about a whale who feels lonely and an astronaut. they become friends and go to space. then after the whale's exitement about being in space runs down and starts feeling sad and lonely the astronaut helps him understand that he probably feels homesick and that he belongs in the sea. they part ways but remain friends in the end.
+Reha Shah OMG even better! Phil's invisible space whales exist lol
I don't think EXO understands Christmas is suppose to be a happy time of year XD
"boy get your ass in the car" 😂😂 i laughed so hard
omg at first I thought they were dying and now I realise it could symbolise how even though they're together they can sometimes feel alone
Let's just appreciate sehun, Kai, and every other members voices😍
This refers to The Whale Concept and the Whale Poem. Alice, the loneliest whale on earth and Michael who spent 48 minutes in space coming back saying it was the longest and loneliest 48 minutes ever. That car DO's driving is a Japanese car called, "Whale" XD plus the poem is about a whale and astronaut who meet each other, the whale is lonely and follows the astronaut, then both realize where they should be.

Astronaut shows the way of ocean to whale to find his home again. One of this symbol is Exo-L and other is Exo. Exo-L rescued them from separating, didn't let them give up. And Exo ll always sing for Exo-L even we hear, or not

Dianna Mahusay yoo wadap youtuber friends....cry cause we know a lot how exo have been through... =/
There's a poem called The Astronaut's Whale. Someone on Tumblr mentioned it before the MV and I think it makes sense that the MV might be inspired from that.
Hey JRE, cheers from Russia))
The Astronaut, who spent in the open space 48 minutes and described this experience as the longest and the loneliest time in his life.
Alice the Whale... The simbol of loneliness.
That's all I wanted to say to you))
JRE: *two seconds into the mv*

The title had me dead "IS THAT A WHALE"
HEY!!! i was waiting for this video since exo song come out...i was like: " yo... JRE is going to do a reaction video...i have to see it !!!" and now here i am xD
omg...your reaction to Chen's part was exactly like mine " oh...shit...well ...damn!"
0:36
"EXO's back..."
Back again
JRE is killing me, I'm dying of laughter.
The whale represents the the thoughts of the viewers confusion with what's going on.It's so big it's a whale, that's what I got from it. P.S I didn't finished kindergarten.
killing me with the different versions again like why!!? you're just making me feel bad for not getting all the member's versions. also when i first watched this, I was like, It's christmas why you make me sad ;-;
This sums up my initial reaction to this video so perfectly
i laugh so hard to your expression when the whale scene came out 😂😂
"KOBE--oh, damn he disappeared."
jre you're killing me
in the end where kai ran td.o who was driving aimlessly there's whale in the background. sehun in spacesuit comforting the lone whale. so in reality it was us(exo-L) who witnessed exo's hardships and stayed with them. exo were having problems but at the same time comforted us by singing for us.
I notice your snapback in the beginning too!
This represents EXO's feelings. With Lu Han, Kris, and Tao disappearing before their eyes. And the whale signifies the loneliest whale in the world.
"What the hell was that in the background? when kai was running?"
hahhaha you see the tiniest details.
but it's actually just kai kicking up snow when he was running XD
Seriously people. The whale is the loneliest whale on earth and the space man is the guy who got lost in space for 48 min. and he said it was the loneliest minutes in his life. I LOVE THOSE REFERENCES!!!!
I don't know if I'm the only, but the scene where kai is dancing it's like he's expressing the fight between suho and chanyeol through his dance
"Did he touch u?" and "whale in space" hhahaha too funny.. :'D
"Can you find T.O.P over there?" 😂 lol
basically what happened is that this entire song is about lost friendship. it seems as though something has happened to jongin, possibly that he died, because he is the only connection between the members. this is seen when he catches the ball that minseok threw, how his moves mirror chanyeol and suho's fight, his running towards kyungsoo's car, and the whale appearing behind him. the members blame themselves for whatever happened to jongin and therefore, live in the past (all the members disappearing), and don't meet again. sehun is the one who is most affected by this because of how alone he is out in space, and the symbolism of the lonely 52 hertz baleen whale. in the end, the members start to forgive themselves and the past becomes the present once again. this is also shown by how sehun meets the whale at last. the song is really sad, but it intends to give hope for something better.
'Alien abduction' and 'Damn blanket on the snow' is rooting on my mind
"Did he touch you?" **dead** 😂😂😂
that ryme though jre cracked me up double time
- to stop fanwars - BAEKHYUN AND TAEHYUNG FRIENDSHIP IS SOOO ADORABLE. THEY WEARED SAME PULLOVER THESE LIL CUTIEPIE - pray for an BTS/EXO collab' after this Whale story. We need it in our life )
Love the Oath of the Horatii by Jacques-Louis David on your shirt :^)
HILARIOUS! watching reaction vids n we they get to the whale their expressions r so funny
JRE PLEASE DO A FIRST LISTEN TO THE ALBUM I BEG YOU
Jre's face when he sees the whale xD
Hi, i'm from Colombia too!! greetings for everyone out there...i love the video and the song, it's sad but calm too
I think the theme is that they are always together, so if someone is gone, not there anymore, they become sad. I feel like this is more for the member who have left. Its a song to tell the three member how they felt. Last christmas, they were all together, now those three are gone. Its never the same anymore.
Jre, you're the only one that can body roll to this song with an imaginary guitar XD
over the distance you can hear all the armys who are exo-l's whisper, "Whalien 52"
I miss OT12 gosh!! And i love all JRE AND KML's reactions
loved the song, cant wait for their new winter album to come out. peter pan is still my favorite track from the last one. cant wait to hear the songs for the new one ♡♡
"boy get yo ass in the car" lol
+JREKML i think you will understand more about the mv if you read the lyrics :)
this is really a very sad song there is actually a very deep meaning behind the mv
the astronaut and the whale symbolize loneliness (the whale is alice, the loneliest whale in the world)
so basically it talks about all difficulties that exo have overcome :'(
"Did he touch you?" Oh god that made me laugh harder than I was suppose too
YES JRE IT WAS A WHALE
"can u find TOP over there?" 😂😂😂
Kai wasn't dancing to his feelings when Chanyeol and Suho was fighting Kai was affected LMAO
Not an exo fan but yeah im here!
+ JRKEML it's a whale!! This whole song is dedicated to Alice the Whale which is the loneliest whale ever lived and can't communicate due to having too high frequencies.. it's so smart and precise and beautiful if you know the real meaning behind it! It gives me goose bumps.
JRE's wtf face is so cute
The video reminded me of D.O's character in It's okay, It's Love.
The whale’s name is Alice. It is lonely because the Hertz it makes is too high. No any whale can hear Alice’ voice. It’s just like a dumb for other whales. They can’t communicate with it. So Alice doesn’t have any families and friends. It’s the loneliest whale in the world.
The astronaut represents the person, Michael Collins. He has ever gone to the moon, but he was unsuccessful. Even when he passed the moon, his communication equipment wasn’t functional. He couldn’t communicate with earth. He stayed in the space for 48 minutes. It’s the loneliest 48 minutes of humans.
where'd you get that?
judy kim Some EXO-L in FB.^^ They analyze it. It maybe not true, but I think that the whale and the astronaut really means lonely.
李姿瑩 yeah. I also read that. But I was just wondering where the hell did they get that 😂 That's too deep
judy kim SM always has a lot of ideas about making a song and an album.^^ EXO-L just like detectives, I am so proud of it!! So amazing!
李姿瑩 same! Sm produces music videos that are outside of the box. Like if we really have to understand what was going on,we'll work our assess off to find meanings and connect it with the video.
i love to see ppls reactions once they see the whale i just wait for it everytime XD
texing and driving commercial haha, but woah i didnt notice the whale behind kai until you pointed it out :)
"Can he find TOP over there?" Someone send me to space now.
