Love Me Right is my favorite EXO song. I think it’s one of the most complete and perfect songs to ever exist. Even though i like so many exo songs this one is my favorite. It gives me everything i want from an exo song
to answer your question at 7:25 - chen, baekhyun, and d.o make up the main vocal line in exo. for reference :) 7:33 baekhyun 7:39 kai (sub vocalist) 7:41 chen 7:43 d.o
4:59 a lot of groups kinda sounds like exo because exo is basically the model for kpop groups, they are the standard. and I'm not the one who says that, it's the idols themselves and the industry
Ah EXO pure nostalgia from 2015 for me when I got into Kpop. Was soooooo obsessed with them D.O was and still is the bias. Mans vocals is just too good
What I found out (and LOVED) about EXO is that their songs are always vocally heavy in production. *Harmonization in this group is on another level, cuz every member can freaking sing beautifully!!!* *And their main vocal line is the best male main vocal line in kpop, they're unbeatable and incomparable!* That's why their songs are so different from other groups, cuz their vocals is also what builds the songs. They almost use it as an instrument. And that's why only EXO can do EXO's songs and sound like EXO. No other groups, especially in kpop, have their songs so vocally based like EXO. In every song (and in every second of the songs), you can hear amazing harmonization, amazing adlibs here and there (from small ones to big ones, not only by the main vocalists, but also even from the main rapper), and runs/riffs/high notes that are always amazing in technique and always so soulful! And that's why they're called *"The Vocal Kings of Kpop"!* And that's why I stan EXO, and only EXO. But, of course, the amount of talents and skills in this group is also incomparable, and that's also the reason I'm such a proud EXO-L. :D
Omg I was so happy to see Exo in your reactions! The Cesar Oh individual guides are the best. She put a lot of real work into them and deserves a lot of love for it. I'd be so thrilled to see you watch them!
One theory is that "Love Me Right" is showing the members in all different dimensions or time periods throughout history. As aliens from Planet Exo, it is thought that the members of EXO are able to travel throughout history and time and space in their quest to reunite as a group and to find the Tree of Life. So, each scene you see is thought to be in a different location or time period -- or possibly, part of a dream-like existence, created by the Red Force to trap the members within the maze, like we see in their "Overdose" MV. (So if EXO are still trapped in the maze, some of the scenes are also thought to be them fighting to break free from the fog that the Red Force has them in and escape, etc.) Some say "Love Me Right" establishes how EXO are traveling through history looking for the Red Force and trying to fix all the problems that the Red Force has caused, while they search for the Tree of Life. That is why we see them in so many different scenes in the MV and why each scene looks like it is from a different time period. You see the red light because, as with everything EXO does, red represents the Red Force. So some theories are that the scenes with the red light are scenes where the Red Force has control, and the scenes where you see the blue light are when EXO has the upperhand. And the scenes where you see the purple colors are times when the line is blurred and EXO and the Red Force are crossing paths -- red and blue make purple. Also since we now have more information about X-EXO, which are EXO's alter ego clones, who we were introduced in EXO's MV, "Obsesion," some new theories are starting to suggest that maybe the red scenes are actually the X-EXO clones and the blue scenes are the EXO members. And, although the smoke looks pink, I think we are supposed to recognize it as red smoke, which is another indication that whatever is causing the smoke has something to do with the Red Force. Some theories even think that scene might be connected to EXO's "Lucky One" MV storyline. In "Lucky One" we see the Red Force experimenting on EXO and, in the EXO-M version, Xiumin is trapped in a box filled with smoke or fog. In "Love Me Right" we see Xiumin doing some sort of experiment in the room with the red smoke. At one point you see Xiumin mixing some sort of purple liquid and, although I am not sure what he is making or why, some theories speculate that that potion is created from flowers. And flowers are a central theme in almost all of EXO's MVs. You see Xiumin mixing a similar liquid with flowers in EXO-CBX's "Blooming Day" MV. And because this liquid is purple, I think it could potentially be some sort of potion that will help the EXO members break the spell the Red Force has over them or it will help to identify who are the real EXO members and who are the evil X-EXO alter ego clones in disguise, etc. The smashed TV is also thought to be connected to EXO's "Coming Over" MV storyline. In "Coming Over" you see EXO smashing TVs, mirrors, and surveillance cameras, in what is thought to be an attempt at stopping and preventing the Red Force from controlling humanity. And in EXO-CBX's MV for "Hey Mama" you will see that the CBX members have now infiltrated a TV news studio and they are working to stop the Red Force from controlling the news anchors and corrupting society by controlling the flow of news, etc. Some have pointed out that the smashed TVs kind of look like running water. Water is Suho's superpower and fire is Chanyeol's power. And you see Suho and Chanyeol in that scene. So, Suho and Chanyeol are most likely involved with whatever is happening in this scene. The scene where you see Baekhyun laying on the train tracks could possibly be connected to the storyline in EXO-CBX's "Horololo" MV where we see Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin searching the train tracks for clues. (It could also now be connected to SuperM's storyline in their "100" MV, aespa's "Black Mamba" storyline, SHINee's "Don't Call Me" MV storyline, Kai's solo debut storyline, and Baekhyun's "Bambi" MV storyline, etc.) And the scene where you see Xiumin laying on the ground, almost as if he is passed out, in the middle of the forest looks as though it is connected to Suho's "Call Me Baby" pathcode teaser video storyline, as well as the scenes with Suho in the forest in EXO's "For Life" MV. To really understand what might be going on in this MV you pretty much have to pause the MV at every scene and really analyze what is happening in each frame. And, although I have watched this MV numerous times, because it is so complex, I still have no idea what most of the MV is trying to tell us. Although I am not sure what the marbles mean, I know they are somehow connected to EXO's "Call Me Baby" pathcode teaser videos -- and more specifically D.O. teaser -- where we see D.O. with marbles and SM specifically points out that we need to pay attention to the marbles to solve the riddle. And we see a newer reference to the mables in EXO's most recent MV for "Don't Fight the Feeling." But as you can see, everything that EXO does is connected. And the story continues in every MV. But what makes their storyline even more complicated is that nothing is in chronological order, so you really have to pay attention to even the most minute of details to figure out where each MV or each scene within an MV might fit within EXO's larger storyline.
And the storyline even continues with the choreography. If you watch their dance practice video or a live performance, you might notice that there are several dance moves where it could be interpreted as some of the members using their powers. For example, D.O. waves his arms and the rest of the membres are pulled toward him or pushes away from him. D.O. has the power of earth/force which gives him strength. I also see the gliding movements to represent how the members are traveling across time and place as they fight to regain control from the Red Force, etc. Everything EXO does is connected to their concept and storyline and it's all about the fact that they are fighting the Red Force and searching for the Tree of Life. And because EXO are trying to undo everything and stop the Red Force from corrupting humanity, the Red Force is always standing in EXO's way, trying to stop them from accomplishing their tasks and prevent them from reuniting the two halves of the Tree of LIfe in order to prevent peace from being restored in the world. "Love Me Right" was released in June 2015 -- Kris and Luhan left the group in 2014 and Tao left around April 2015 -- so this was the first MV where there are 9 members. From now on, if you are going in order of release date, you will see 9, 8 or 6 members depending on how recent the MV is. To really appreciate their vocals and dancing, you should also see "Love Me Right" live. Check out a comeback stage or one of their live concert videos, even if it's just on your own time. :D
Yes it would be easier to separate them in groups to recognize them. In general, 3 main vocalists - Baekhyun, Chen, D.O. 2 main rappers - Chanyeol and Sehun 3 main dancers - kai, sehun, lay sub vocalists - suho, xiumin, lay and everyone Actually, they are all rounders. The best vocals in K-pop.
Here’s a little info on each members’ role in the group, in case you were wondering. I tried to separate them into smaller groups to make it easier to remember ~ XIUMIN (2:56, bottom middle) - Sub Vocal, Sub Rapper SUHO (3:10, right) - Leader, Lead Vocal, Visual BAEKHYUN (2:52, left) - Main Vocal CHEN (3:15) - Main Vocal D.O. (3:24) - Main Vocal LAY (3:34) - Main Dancer, Sub Vocal, Sub Rapper KAI (3:43, front middle) - Main Dancer, Sub Vocal, Sub Rapper SEHUN (8:08) - Lead Dancer, Lead Rapper, Visual CHANYEOL (7:57, front middle) - Main Rapper, Sub Vocal, Visual [TAO (3:36) was also in Call Me Baby; he was a Lead Rapper, Lead Dancer, & Sub Vocal]
Most of these are right but a little bit of correction : *Xiumin is the LEAD vocal & dancer. Rapper isn't his official position but he does rap a few times *Lay is the LEAD vocal. Rapper part is the same with Xiumin *Kai is LEAD rapper. Vocal isn't his official position but he sings A LOT for the past 5 cbs, to the point that he almost got the same amount of lines as lead vocals, with even less rapping lines each year. *Kai is also the CENTER & FACE OF THE GROUP *Chanyeol doesn't have official vocal position but again, same case with Kai but with still more rapping parts. *Visual isn't an official position bcus it's merely subjective & based on majority of audiences' opinion. But if anyone close to what they call "visual" back then, it's Sehun & Luhan. Suho wasn't part of it. These are all their official position they're introduced since the beginning.
@@alyssam.7425 Kprofiles is incredibly inaccurate in terms of member positions. Everything else is fine, but don't rely on them for official positions.
best and most updated guides of exo are "cesar oh's individual guides" tbh. Best group guide next to "cesar oh individual guides" is "the ultimate guide to exo". Thank you so much for this reaction btw. I've always been waiting for your exo reactions.
In "Call Me Baby" you will see there are only 10 members (EXO originally had 12 members).This MV came out in 2015 and it was the first MV after 2 of their Chinese members left -- Kris left right after "Overdose" came out and Luhan left about 6 months later in 2014. This also was the last MV were we see Tao, the third Chinese member that left the group. Tao (The tall, blond with the orange shoes who is the youngest member of EXO-M) left the group shortly after "Call Me Baby." In the beginning when EXO had 12 members they produced all their songs in both Korean and Mandarin, and they promoted as two groups who were part of the larger group of EXO -- EXO-K (Korean) and EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese). But after the Chinese members left, they no longer had enough EXO-M members to promote on their own so they officially combined the groups into one with 9 members. Now that they no longer promote as the two separate groups, they now only produce their main tracks in both Korean and Mandarin. However, they still produce a Korean version and a Mandarin version of almost all of their MVs. Lay is the only Chinese member left, but all the members learn the lyrics in Mandarin for their Chinese versions of their songs, and they all work really hard to make sure their pronunciation is perfect in any language they perform in. Because you like this song so much, you should also check out the EXO-M Mandarin Chinese version of "Call Me Baby." If you watch the two versions side by side, you will see that the members that are featured in each part are different and even in the dance sections where you think "it's the same" there are different members doing different parts. Their MVs may look similar, but that's only because they filmed the MV twice and deliberately made the scenes look the same. Also if you really pay attention, the scenes may look the same, but the members who sing the parts are different depending on the version that you watch. For example, in the Mandarin version you will see the EXO-M members featured more (Lay, Xiumin, Chen and Tao) and they sing the main parts, and in the Korean version the EXO-K members (D.O., Baekhyun, Chanyeol, Sehun, Suho and Kai) sing those same parts. In the Korean version a lot of the main parts were sung by D.O., but if you watch the mandarin version you will see that Lay sings those parts, and in the Mandarin version the rap was done by Tao and Xiumin, where in the Korean version it's Chanyeol and Sehun, etc. Also if you watch the Mandarin version you will be able to see a different sports car with Tao driving the car instead of Kai. Fun fact: Leading up to the release of the "Call Me Baby" MV, there were 10 Pathcode teasers that were released over several weeks. There was a short teaser video for each of the members, and combined with clues from an SM Entertainment twitter account, we had to piece together the story and solve the mystery to reveal the release date and title of EXO's new song, which ended up being "Call Me Baby." If you notice, there are 10 letters in the title "Call Me Baby" so there was one letter per EXO member. If you want to watch their Pathcode teasers just search SM's TH-cam channel. They are all there. The stories in the teasers also connect to EXO's larger storyline as well, and it is thought that they not only show clues to "Call Me Baby," but they also reveal more clues to EXO's storyline and tell a little more of EXO's story. The Pathcodes are super interesting and very mysterious, just like everything EXO does.
EXO harmonies and the ad-libs are what really set them apart... As excellent as they are in the studio (and they're un-rivaled) it's the live stages that really showcase their talent. From day one, they left everything on the stage, made no excuses, and dominated the industry. Even if you aren't an "L" (which I can't understand at all) you have to give respect for the ones that set the bar... that's EXO.
When it is dancing plus facial expressions it is most likely Kai. I hope you react to his awesome solos too, Peaches came out right after you put this reaction up.
EXO has best vocals in kpop industry. It is no question that members Chen, Baekhyun and D.O comes first in the list when we are in topic and some fans even calling them the 'vocal trinity'. Exo’s live acoustic performance is always fantastic. Please react to "EXO PLANET #3 The EXO'rDIUM in Seoul Acoustic Section"
You should react to their concert. They have the record, sold out in 0.2 seconds and their live is crazy good. they are the Vocal Kings Of KPOP. Edit: i mean literally the WORLD record they are in guinness records
D.O. (Kyung Soo) with his "Baby Girl..." in Call Me Baby is one of the three Main Vocals. If you're into k-drama and Korean movies in general, D.O. is considered the best idol-actor in the business. EXO has three Main Vocalists, D.O., Chen and Baekhyun, but all the members, including the rappers, are vocally trained and sing. If you know anything about SM, you'll know every member in EVERY SM group is known for Vocals and Visuals. The talent at SM is at another level. If you're not big into R&B with its riffs and runs, you might want to move pass EXO to another group that's more your type. EXO is heavily R&B especially their B-sides. Even the members' solo albums are usually in the R&B genre. Also, it's called "Call Me Baby" and NOT "Call Me Maybe" so you may want to edit that part out. Take care & stay safe!
Well I didn't like r&b before and am still not into it, but Exo still became my top 1 haha! And it's the case for lots of people actually o.o So I think people shouldn't stop by the title tracks or by their initial music tastes, it's more than worth some album listenings haha, because it's Exo we're talking about!
irrational theory; love me right could easily be a loona mv it has the mysterious storyline, the amazing dance, color bombs and most importantly the running
EXO are actually known to be Kings of Vocals & Kings of R&B among several other titles. 3:42 - Kai: Main Dancer, Vocalist, Rapper, Center, Soloist (also the second one of the left that you mentioned. He's very known for his facial expressions during his performances. Best dance in the industry. Just released his new album today "Peaches" a masterpiece!) 6:45 Baekhyun: Main Vocalist, Soloist (Double Million Seller Soloist) 5:38 D.O. Main Vocalist, Soloist (A very famous actor) 3:14 Chen: Main Vocalist, Soloist (King of OST) 5:51 Suho: Lead Vocalist, Soloist (Leader) 4:15 Xiumin: Lead Vocalist, sub-rapper 7:57 Chanyeol: Main Rapper, vocalist 8:07 Sehun: Lead rapper, Lead dancer (maknae) 3:33 Lay: Main rapper, vocalist, Soloist (Chinese, has his own company in China)
It's time for you to get to know EXO better! I highly recommend The Ultimate Guide to EXO by Pastel Kookies and the individual guides by Cesar Oh. Can't wait until you check their live performaces out, they're known as Kpop Vocal Kings for a reason!!
My intro to kpop groups were SNSD 4MINUTE EXO GOT7 BIGBANG Mainly 2nd gen groups and call me baby was my first Exo song I. Was.hooked. 6 yrs have past since then and I'm still hooked. What a journey
Wow! I never thought of possible symbolism in the ‘Love Me Right’ video. That would be great to further explore. 🤔 Yes -EXO is AMAZING!! I have NEVER been into boy bands or R&B, I’m more of a Rock/Progressive Rock listener. But they have me totally obsessed with their vocals & music! They are sooo talented & hard-working performers! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
also you're correct, love me right is the title track of the repackage of call me baby's album! (exodus) exo has such a stellar discography and honestly one of my faves in kpop even if im not in the fandom per se, you just cant deny how they release absolute bangers
I’m glad you’re working through EXO’s MVs!! I don’t fully stan EXO, but I am always excited to see what they come out with. Their vocal line is seriously AMAZING and Chen has been one of my biases since their debut era (and always will be).
They can all sing and each has a different kind of tone and style, chanyeol the rapper can sing and his voice is abnormally beautifully, kai , xiumin, suho can sing they're the lead singers aside from the main line , d.o , chen and beakhyun
Please react exo live acoustic in concert and exoplanet 4 the medley live Diamond, coming over, drop that and power you will enjoyed listening exo Live you will hear each one of them they are the kings of vocals
I remember how phenomenal they were.. I was an ultimate fan since their debut but somehow has the tendency to leave the fandoms when the groups got BIG 😂 When wolf and growl were released, people went around wearing EXO shirts and bags. They’ve lost members and faced many hardships, but I always think they have one of the strongest vocal and dance lines in kpop. Still one of the best groups ever produced. All the members are excellent actors, too (except Chen who probably has no interest in acting)
There are a lot behind love me right story. If I just want to make it short they are actually making a copy of themselves in a computer game which is also considered as a parallel universe. You can see the computer game in power mv ! But for sure there are lots of symbolism in each scene which make the details of the storyvand parallel universe of exo
ALL EXO MEMBERS ARE VOCALIST EVEN THE RAPPERS ARE VERY GOOD AT SINGING.. ALL ARE INSANELY TALENTED INDIVIDUALLY SO YOU HAVE TO DO THE INDIVIDUAL GUIDES BY CESAR OH ITS WORTH IT. THANKS FOR REACTING TO EXO
Love Me Right is like an old teen-y Disney Channel version of Alice in the Wonderland's book. There is so much lore behind the mv but I am not good at explaining this kind of stuff. Nice reaction : )
I really enjoy your EXO reactions. You should add the collab Baekhyun did with the female rock artist, Seomoomtak, to your list for reacting. The song is called Hurt. It is awesome. Baekhyun is one of the most versatile Korean singers I have ever heard. EXO is the gold standard, when it comes to vocals. Gonna miss Baekhyun, while he's in the military!!
Please react more to exo. It seems like you enjoy their songs so far but haven't reacted much to their discography. There's a lot of exo, exo cbx, exo sc and solo (baekhyun, do, chen, lay, suho and kai) content. You won't be disappointed with their live stages either.
I still remember when call me baby came out, I just love that song so much at that time.. and I guess this two song is actually my fav among all of exo's song.
@@KpopPrince Kai was kind of a rapper at the start with songs like Overdose and Wolf it just might never have been an "official" position. I think since Kris, Luhan and Tao left though and they don't have separate Chinese and Korean groups anymore, Sehun and Chanyeol pretty exclusively get the rap parts.
thanks for exo reaction!!! i really like the way you react : ) it would be nice if you react to more exo’s song (I personally recommend tempo, obsession and all of exo’s solo songs, they’re all out of the world)
So longggg .... for you 'd to react to exo 😭😭😭 but .... you'd miss !!! Exo 'd so great in everythings and you 'd can remember ... baekhyun on this clip ☺️
Chen, Baekhyun, Kyungsoo(D.O) main vocalists All other members are sub vocalists even the rappers, Suho and Chanyeol can easily be main vocalists in other groups, Xiumin can hit the highest note Chanyeol, Sehun are main rappers, Kai and Xiumin used to rap too but now they are more sub vocalists Lay is one of the most successful soloists in China speaks a lot about his talents Kai, Sehun and Lay are main dancers
lmao "one of you is baekhyun" while he's the only one on screen
Indeed! I actually said out loud "Yeahhhh... that one..." at that part.
Love Me Right is my favorite EXO song. I think it’s one of the most complete and perfect songs to ever exist. Even though i like so many exo songs this one is my favorite. It gives me everything i want from an exo song
Exo perfect song iconic i love this mv 😀
Your second to the left guy is Kai. His facial expressions and dancing are on another level. He has a comeback on 11/30/21 with his second mini album.
to answer your question at 7:25 - chen, baekhyun, and d.o make up the main vocal line in exo.
for reference :)
7:33 baekhyun
7:39 kai (sub vocalist)
7:41 chen
7:43 d.o
“OMG this group can literally f***king sing though”. KPop Prince, November 2021
No truer words have been said.
Wait till he hears the LIVE vocals ;D
4:59 a lot of groups kinda sounds like exo because exo is basically the model for kpop groups, they are the standard. and I'm not the one who says that, it's the idols themselves and the industry

Yes it would be easier to separate them in groups to recognize them. In general,
3 main vocalists - Baekhyun, Chen, D.O.
2 main rappers - Chanyeol and Sehun
3 main dancers - kai, sehun, lay
sub vocalists - suho, xiumin, lay and everyone
Actually, they are all rounders. The best vocals in K-pop.
Here’s a little info on each members’ role in the group, in case you were wondering. I tried to separate them into smaller groups to make it easier to remember ~
XIUMIN (2:56, bottom middle) - Sub Vocal, Sub Rapper
SUHO (3:10, right) - Leader, Lead Vocal, Visual
BAEKHYUN (2:52, left) - Main Vocal
CHEN (3:15) - Main Vocal
D.O. (3:24) - Main Vocal
LAY (3:34) - Main Dancer, Sub Vocal, Sub Rapper
KAI (3:43, front middle) - Main Dancer, Sub Vocal, Sub Rapper
SEHUN (8:08) - Lead Dancer, Lead Rapper, Visual
CHANYEOL (7:57, front middle) - Main Rapper, Sub Vocal, Visual
[TAO (3:36) was also in Call Me Baby; he was a Lead Rapper, Lead Dancer, & Sub Vocal]
Most of these are right but a little bit of correction :
*Xiumin is the LEAD vocal & dancer. Rapper isn't his official position but he does rap a few times
*Lay is the LEAD vocal. Rapper part is the same with Xiumin
*Kai is LEAD rapper. Vocal isn't his official position but he sings A LOT for the past 5 cbs, to the point that he almost got the same amount of lines as lead vocals, with even less rapping lines each year.
*Kai is also the CENTER & FACE OF THE GROUP
*Chanyeol doesn't have official vocal position but again, same case with Kai but with still more rapping parts.
*Visual isn't an official position bcus it's merely subjective & based on majority of audiences' opinion. But if anyone close to what they call "visual" back then, it's Sehun & Luhan. Suho wasn't part of it.
These are all their official position they're introduced since the beginning.
@@resurgingflame I got most of these off of Kprofiles and thought they looked accurate enough. Thanks for the corrections!! :)
@@alyssam.7425 Kprofiles is incredibly inaccurate in terms of member positions. Everything else is fine, but don't rely on them for official positions.
best and most updated guides of exo are "cesar oh's individual guides" tbh. Best group guide next to "cesar oh individual guides" is "the ultimate guide to exo". Thank you so much for this reaction btw. I've always been waiting for your exo reactions.
In "Call Me Baby" you will see there are only 10 members (EXO originally had 12 members).This MV came out in 2015 and it was the first MV after 2 of their Chinese members left -- Kris left right after "Overdose" came out and Luhan left about 6 months later in 2014. This also was the last MV were we see Tao, the third Chinese member that left the group. Tao (The tall, blond with the orange shoes who is the youngest member of EXO-M) left the group shortly after "Call Me Baby."
In the beginning when EXO had 12 members they produced all their songs in both Korean and Mandarin, and they promoted as two groups who were part of the larger group of EXO -- EXO-K (Korean) and EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese). But after the Chinese members left, they no longer had enough EXO-M members to promote on their own so they officially combined the groups into one with 9 members. Now that they no longer promote as the two separate groups, they now only produce their main tracks in both Korean and Mandarin. However, they still produce a Korean version and a Mandarin version of almost all of their MVs. Lay is the only Chinese member left, but all the members learn the lyrics in Mandarin for their Chinese versions of their songs, and they all work really hard to make sure their pronunciation is perfect in any language they perform in.
Because you like this song so much, you should also check out the EXO-M Mandarin Chinese version of "Call Me Baby." If you watch the two versions side by side, you will see that the members that are featured in each part are different and even in the dance sections where you think "it's the same" there are different members doing different parts. Their MVs may look similar, but that's only because they filmed the MV twice and deliberately made the scenes look the same. Also if you really pay attention, the scenes may look the same, but the members who sing the parts are different depending on the version that you watch.
For example, in the Mandarin version you will see the EXO-M members featured more (Lay, Xiumin, Chen and Tao) and they sing the main parts, and in the Korean version the EXO-K members (D.O., Baekhyun, Chanyeol, Sehun, Suho and Kai) sing those same parts. In the Korean version a lot of the main parts were sung by D.O., but if you watch the mandarin version you will see that Lay sings those parts, and in the Mandarin version the rap was done by Tao and Xiumin, where in the Korean version it's Chanyeol and Sehun, etc. Also if you watch the Mandarin version you will be able to see a different sports car with Tao driving the car instead of Kai.
Fun fact: Leading up to the release of the "Call Me Baby" MV, there were 10 Pathcode teasers that were released over several weeks. There was a short teaser video for each of the members, and combined with clues from an SM Entertainment twitter account, we had to piece together the story and solve the mystery to reveal the release date and title of EXO's new song, which ended up being "Call Me Baby." If you notice, there are 10 letters in the title "Call Me Baby" so there was one letter per EXO member. If you want to watch their Pathcode teasers just search SM's TH-cam channel. They are all there. The stories in the teasers also connect to EXO's larger storyline as well, and it is thought that they not only show clues to "Call Me Baby," but they also reveal more clues to EXO's storyline and tell a little more of EXO's story. The Pathcodes are super interesting and very mysterious, just like everything EXO does.
EXO harmonies and the ad-libs are what really set them apart... As excellent as they are in the studio (and they're un-rivaled) it's the live stages that really showcase their talent. From day one, they left everything on the stage, made no excuses, and dominated the industry. Even if you aren't an "L" (which I can't understand at all) you have to give respect for the ones that set the bar... that's EXO.
When it is dancing plus facial expressions it is most likely Kai. I hope you react to his awesome solos too, Peaches came out right after you put this reaction up.
EXO has best vocals in kpop industry. It is no question that members Chen, Baekhyun and D.O comes first in the list when we are in topic and some fans even calling them the 'vocal trinity'.
Exo’s live acoustic performance is always fantastic.
Please react to "EXO PLANET #3 The EXO'rDIUM in Seoul Acoustic Section"
Call me baby remained as the most awarded song in musical shows for a whole four years for a reason hehehehe
You should react to their concert. They have the record, sold out in 0.2 seconds and their live is crazy good. they are the Vocal Kings Of KPOP.
Edit: i mean literally the WORLD record they are in guinness records
The Main Rapper duo sub unit EXO-SC Chanyeol & Sehun
KAI Rapper sometimes
It's not that typical kind of highschool. EXO has a concept since debut, so everything in their MVs, lyrics, performances, have a meaning.
EXO is a whole package group, vocals visuals dancers producers song writes geographers actors models ambassadors and more? Yes they are
D.O. (Kyung Soo) with his "Baby Girl..." in Call Me Baby is one of the three Main Vocals. If you're into k-drama and Korean movies in general, D.O. is considered the best idol-actor in the business. EXO has three Main Vocalists, D.O., Chen and Baekhyun, but all the members, including the rappers, are vocally trained and sing. If you know anything about SM, you'll know every member in EVERY SM group is known for Vocals and Visuals. The talent at SM is at another level.
If you're not big into R&B with its riffs and runs, you might want to move pass EXO to another group that's more your type. EXO is heavily R&B especially their B-sides. Even the members' solo albums are usually in the R&B genre.
Also, it's called "Call Me Baby" and NOT "Call Me Maybe" so you may want to edit that part out. Take care & stay safe!
ahahaha, did I seriously call it "Call Me Maybe?" Love that
Well I didn't like r&b before and am still not into it, but Exo still became my top 1 haha! And it's the case for lots of people actually o.o So I think people shouldn't stop by the title tracks or by their initial music tastes, it's more than worth some album listenings haha, because it's Exo we're talking about!
You must check out exo individual guide by caesar oh
Exo kills every genre.
Since it's December, I'm obsessed with their winter albums ❄️
irrational theory; love me right could easily be a loona mv it has the mysterious storyline, the amazing dance, color bombs and most importantly the running
EXO are actually known to be Kings of Vocals & Kings of R&B among several other titles.
3:42 - Kai: Main Dancer, Vocalist, Rapper, Center, Soloist (also the second one of the left that you mentioned. He's very known for his facial expressions during his performances. Best dance in the industry. Just released his new album today "Peaches" a masterpiece!)
6:45 Baekhyun: Main Vocalist, Soloist (Double Million Seller Soloist)
5:38 D.O. Main Vocalist, Soloist (A very famous actor)
3:14 Chen: Main Vocalist, Soloist (King of OST)
5:51 Suho: Lead Vocalist, Soloist (Leader)
4:15 Xiumin: Lead Vocalist, sub-rapper
7:57 Chanyeol: Main Rapper, vocalist
8:07 Sehun: Lead rapper, Lead dancer (maknae)
3:33 Lay: Main rapper, vocalist, Soloist (Chinese, has his own company in China)
It's time for you to get to know EXO better! I highly recommend The Ultimate Guide to EXO by Pastel Kookies and the individual guides by Cesar Oh. Can't wait until you check their live performaces out, they're known as Kpop Vocal Kings for a reason!!
My intro to kpop groups were
SNSD
4MINUTE
EXO
GOT7
BIGBANG
Mainly 2nd gen groups and call me baby was my first Exo song I. Was.hooked. 6 yrs have past since then and I'm still hooked. What a journey
Wow! I never thought of possible symbolism in the ‘Love Me Right’ video. That would be great to further explore. 🤔
Yes -EXO is AMAZING!! I have NEVER been into boy bands or R&B, I’m more of a Rock/Progressive Rock listener. But they have me totally obsessed with their vocals & music! They are sooo talented & hard-working performers! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
also you're correct, love me right is the title track of the repackage of call me baby's album! (exodus) exo has such a stellar discography and honestly one of my faves in kpop even if im not in the fandom per se, you just cant deny how they release absolute bangers
King Vocal in Kpop 👑
I’m glad you’re working through EXO’s MVs!! I don’t fully stan EXO, but I am always excited to see what they come out with. Their vocal line is seriously AMAZING and Chen has been one of my biases since their debut era (and always will be).
These LIVE are better 100000% wc is Insane
They can all sing and each has a different kind of tone and style, chanyeol the rapper can sing and his voice is abnormally beautifully, kai , xiumin, suho can sing they're the lead singers aside from the main line , d.o , chen and beakhyun
Exooo!!woah..I m surprised..quite pleasant surprise:)
Kings 👑
Please react exo live acoustic in concert and exoplanet 4 the medley live Diamond, coming over, drop that and power you will enjoyed listening exo Live you will hear each one of them they are the kings of vocals
I remember how phenomenal they were.. I was an ultimate fan since their debut but somehow has the tendency to leave the fandoms when the groups got BIG 😂 When wolf and growl were released, people went around wearing EXO shirts and bags. They’ve lost members and faced many hardships, but I always think they have one of the strongest vocal and dance lines in kpop. Still one of the best groups ever produced. All the members are excellent actors, too (except Chen who probably has no interest in acting)
finally... More reactions about EXO please. They are so amazing, EXO is known as the king of vocal
It’s been 6 years no one still can’t top the vocal line of the mv
KINGS KPOP🌍 EXO 🤴🌟🌠💖
Call Me Baby makes me emotional this is the my favorite ultimate song! Its a masterpiece and timeless. I love EXO so much💖
There are a lot behind love me right story. If I just want to make it short they are actually making a copy of themselves in a computer game which is also considered as a parallel universe. You can see the computer game in power mv ! But for sure there are lots of symbolism in each scene which make the details of the storyvand parallel universe of exo
A guide to Exo (& maybe SuperM?) is a great idea! I feel like that would really help you connect names to faces and get to know the members better :)
such iconic songs! this r&b with full use of brass is my favorite exo sound
ALL EXO MEMBERS ARE VOCALIST EVEN THE RAPPERS ARE VERY GOOD AT SINGING.. ALL ARE INSANELY TALENTED INDIVIDUALLY SO YOU HAVE TO DO THE INDIVIDUAL GUIDES BY CESAR OH ITS WORTH IT. THANKS FOR REACTING TO EXO
Love Me Right is like an old teen-y Disney Channel version of Alice in the Wonderland's book. There is so much lore behind the mv but I am not good at explaining this kind of stuff. Nice reaction : )
FYi EXO is Seventeen's SENIOR.
If THIS reminds u of any 17 track ..u know wer they got inspired from
Maybe!
I really enjoy your EXO reactions. You should add the collab Baekhyun did with the female rock artist, Seomoomtak, to your list for reacting. The song is called Hurt. It is awesome. Baekhyun is one of the most versatile Korean singers I have ever heard. EXO is the gold standard, when it comes to vocals. Gonna miss Baekhyun, while he's in the military!!
yesss back on exo i'm excited
Please react more to exo. It seems like you enjoy their songs so far but haven't reacted much to their discography. There's a lot of exo, exo cbx, exo sc and solo (baekhyun, do, chen, lay, suho and kai) content. You won't be disappointed with their live stages either.
EXO, the vocal kings of kpop. Wait till you watch their live performance. The trinity (D.O., Chen, Baekhyun) are the main vocalists.
I still remember when call me baby came out, I just love that song so much at that time.. and I guess this two song is actually my fav among all of exo's song.
These are so nostalgic! I was really waiting for your reaction to Call Me Baby as it’s still my favorite song of theirs. This was fun 👍
sehun chanyeol rappers kai is the guy you pointed out dancing hes main dancer
Ah that's right! For some reason I can't shake the idea of Kai as a rapper. That makes sense though when I relate it to SuperM.
@@KpopPrince Kai was kind of a rapper at the start with songs like Overdose and Wolf it just might never have been an "official" position. I think since Kris, Luhan and Tao left though and they don't have separate Chinese and Korean groups anymore, Sehun and Chanyeol pretty exclusively get the rap parts.
Yes! Their live performance always amazing, Insane!
thanks for exo reaction!!! i really like the way you react : ) it would be nice if you react to more exo’s song (I personally recommend tempo, obsession and all of exo’s solo songs, they’re all out of the world)
OMG, I love to listen to their songs. I miss the old days too. They're JUST AMAZING!!! Thanks a lot for this.
ur never gonna learn every name to face without a guide on this group lmao
i can't wait for you to getting into exo

caesar oh's guide are the best if you want to check the guide. that same channel also has individual longer guides which are great by the way.
D.O. is also a main vocal hihi
'Love me right' is from the repackage album of 'Call me Baby' maybe that's why you felt similar vibes from them...
EXO - monster

Chen, Baekhyun, Kyungsoo(D.O) main vocalists
All other members are sub vocalists even the rappers, Suho and Chanyeol can easily be main vocalists in other groups, Xiumin can hit the highest note
Chanyeol, Sehun are main rappers, Kai and Xiumin used to rap too but now they are more sub vocalists
Lay is one of the most successful soloists in China speaks a lot about his talents
