Everything about EXO in ot12 era is mirrored.. Both Mama and Overdose, EXO-K and EXO-M positions always mirrors each other (example, K mainly on the right side of the stage and M on the left side of the stage). So whenever they perform as EXO (K and M combined), their choreo is a full set filled up the whole stage.. This is something that I miss from EXO choreos
I also miss the time where they suddenly switch from Korean to madarin ind the middle of a song. The old days...😍
huhuhu and even in music shows when they performed growl K and M are dancing opposite of each other. I remember downloading (illegaly 🤭🤫) those cause it was so cool!!!
those days of ot12 are now just memories and history
we will never get ot12 again, the china line except Lay left long ago we should really focus on ot9 and not be delusional
@@BY-ct3co nobody is being delusional lol
FACT: EXO's OVERDOSE album was the FIRST mini album to receive a DAESANG award in MAMA. On the same year, EXO won both Album of the Year and Artist of the Year in MAMA. 🔥 Their MAMA performance was amazing too! The album was insanely good! 🥰
nice!!
@@JeffAvenue please react to their MAMA performance too! Especially kai's solo 🥺🤍

EXO set a high standard in terms of MV since their debut.
Mama made everyone try to be edgy and dramatic
The messy cheap mvs we got everywhere 😂😂😂
th-cam.com/video/IAfDZKvqvJM/w-d-xo.html 🔥
imo the cheapest EXO title track mv so far is DFTF
@@BY-ct3co It was
But I believe it was intentional as a whole
@@STALKER777LK yeah honestly DFTF the whole special album was not actual full album had no promotions or live stages at all, also half of them were in military during DFFT era so this album was literally hiatus era album
but still sold 1.3million
i guess only EXO can sell over million during hiatus, i wasn’t surprised
Overdose is funny overtime, there's a lot of cases where the members get confused and mixed up especially during the pairings. Because this song have a lot of revisions in the members numbers. The original.versions: exok ver (6 members only), exom ver(6 members), exo ot12 ver (full members), then revised it to ot11(when krist left), then ot10 (when luhan left)then ot9 (after tao) and 8 member ver when lay can't make it.😂🤣
I still can't get over the time during ot12 version, where Kai forgot to go down the stage when it's time for exom to dance during the 2nd verse. Tao's expression when he saw kai with them in exom😂🤣.
Could you link the one when Kai forgot to go down the stage??
Please link?

Thank you! Tao's reaction hahahah
I just noticed how you react everytime you see Lay in their mvs. “Laaaay” hahahah cute
2:22 "Oh that's so dramatic"
I just realized EXO has always been really dramatic
I mean... look at Mama, Tempo, Loveshot and Obsession 😂 Work theatre kids! 😂😂😂
?
th-cam.com/video/IAfDZKvqvJM/w-d-xo.html 🔥
And we love dramatic pieces!!!!
@@nurulmarsya3683 You can write words BEFORE the ? so we can get a context of whatever your messy ass is trying to say.
@@chiahueychoo4186 YES WE DO
I think what I remember most about overdose era was Sehun actually having lines lmao I remember we were all freaking out because he _had_ lines 🤣
I swear overdose era has the best outfits and stages they just look extra hot
Period sis👌🙌👏
th-cam.com/video/IAfDZKvqvJM/w-d-xo.html 🔥
It has the best outfits during that time
The concept of EXO is so insane. Until now Exo still following these concept to their songs and it make it more interesting and beautiful.
2:59 Jeff: "Who's that?"
Okay kids, let me tell you the story of my first love.
Raise your hand if Lu Han is also your first love in EXO.😭😭
It was Kai at first and now its still Kai 😅 I'm a loyal EriGom
Luhan = every exo-L's first love
Is Luhan the flip king from exo
@@sf9_mamma if you're talking about the one who flip at the end, it's Tao. Luhan was the main vocalist of EXO-M alongside Chen.
This song never gets old to me.. I mean it is an exo's song! Just ICONIC!
"It's messy in an organised way". Love.
So, here's some fun facts about this video. UPDATE: This was EXO'S last OT12 promo video where they fully performed, in both Korean and Mandarin.
Before, while both subunits performed in the videos it was usually said subunit that sung and rapped in each video.
Yes, that was Luhan, that you asked about. UPDATE: He WAS NOT the eldest in the group. IDK why I thought that, guys. Sorry, for that bit of misinformation!!!😓😓😓
So Call me Baby is OT12, but only in Korean?
xiumin was the oldest
@@l.c.6282 Call me Baby was 10 members and Tao left in that era
@@l.c.6282 it was 10 members and there are Korean and Chinese version where all 10 participated
@@NerdyQueen1234 thank you
I like you going back in time with EXO... They were out here jumpin' rope, straight ninjas.
This was my first exposure to EXO and I’ve never turned back.
the way they framed it you're not really supposed to notice, but there is a member on the floor serving as the base instead of using their knees. and yep, the one you noticed was luhan! also a member of the dance line.
Luhan is almost like every exo-L's first love. And he was part of the dance line, vocal line & visual line.
@@erieluvie0905 omg so true ❤️ LuHan is my first ever bias ❤️ and my first heartbreak 😭
The EP as a whole is one of the best I've ever heard, all 5 tracks are playlist-worthy. Overdose itself never gets old, it has such a modern sound with added drama from the drumbeats + great choreography + great wardrobes. And YES to Jeff recognizing Sehun's 👑👑👑 energy when he does his strut to the center, literally my favorite part of the whole MV and rarely anyone talked about it back then.
2:59 That's Luhan. He's a former member of EXO. He left the group in 2014 due to health problems, if I remember correctly. He's still continuing his music career in China.
REACTING TO OLDER MVS MEANS REACTING TO TWO VERSIONS AS WELL CAUSE IT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT
Imagine, a 2-yr old group did this kind of concept. Thats why EXO’s a legend.
EXO will forever be legendary. No questions asked.
Agree. Their earlier songs like Mama and Wolf that has many highnotes, despite just being debuted. It's kind of hard to imagine the pressure being put on them back then. SM must have set higher expectations that EXO needs to achieve. I'm so proud on how successful they are :).
Omg, thank you so much for the reaction, I didn't expect you to react to overdose!
Thank you for the reaction 😊
Next please react to "Call me baby" and "Lotto" from Exo
I really love Overdose! You should watch their live performance in MAMA 2014 where they performed Black Pearl, Tell Me What Is Love, Deep Breath (KAI solo) and Overdose. Thank you for this, have a nice day
Ohhhh it's a nice surprise reaction
"Overdose" came out in 2014 and this is one of the last MVs where all 12 members are part of the song and MV. (Kris left the group right after this MV was released and Luhan will leave within the next 6 months.)
How EXO worked back when they were split up into the two groups was that all the members were in both MVs, but the K members were featured more prominently in the K version of the song and the M members were featured in the M version. As you saw, in the EXO-K version of "Overdose" the K members sing the main parts of the song and they are the first group of 6 you see. (When you see the MV revisit the same sets a second time the group you see is the 6 EXO-M members.) If you watch the Mandarin version, you will see the M members take over the main parts of the song and MV and the K members are the ones you see second. So, even when the MVs look the same, they will always be slightly different because the members are assigned different parts in each MV.
For example, in the Korean version, the EXO-K rappers (Chanyeol and Sehun) are the ones that are part of the rap section. If you watch the Mandarin version, you will see Kris, Xiumin and Tao are the rappers because they are EXO-M's rappers. Tao is also the martial artist of the group, so he is the one that does the flips and stunts in EXO's routines. And the main vocal parts and high notes are done by Baekhyun in the Korean version, but in the Mandarin version that part is Chen's because he is EXO-M's main vocalist, etc.
You should watch the Mandarin versions of "Overdose," as well. :D If you watch EXO-M's version of "Overdose" you will understand why we say even though they may seem like they are similar MVs, there are distinct differences between the Korean and Mandarin versions that are important to EXO's storyline.
Plus, I think you may even enjoy the Mandarin version of the song just as much, or more.
Also something to note, you see Kai in the beginning and end of the MV in the Korean version because he is the center and visual of EXO-K. However, in the Mandarin version you will see Luhan fills that same role because he is the center and visual of EXO-M. Plus, Kai and Luhan were each others' power counterparts as well. So this establishes the connections between EXO-K and EXO-M. Kai and Luhan were supposed to have a bond that connected the two groups and made them one as part of EXO's storyline.
In the MV what you saw is that the members have been trapped in a maze by the Red Force and they are trying to use their superpowers to escape the maze. For example, in the Korean version you see Chen throw a beam of light which is an example of them using their powers. Chen has the power to control lightning so he tossed a lightning bolt to Lay who has the power of healing. Lay is the only one who could have caught that light beam without being injured because Lay has the power of healing and he can heal himself.
In the beginning when you see the EXO-K members making that picture while standing on each other, they are forming their hexagon symbol which is EXO's official symbol. (In the M version, you will notice it's different members.) The different sets you see, are thought to be different rooms within the maze, or maybe alternate realities or time periods created by the Red Force to lure the EXO members to them.
So, the story in the MV is pretty much the members trying to summon their powers to try and escape from the maze.The box that D.O. had at the beginning of the MV was full of dirt. D.O.'s superpower is the power of earth or dirt and it gives him strength, so he was using the sand to build his strength back up. The other members were also trying to use their powers of teleportation, fire, light, etc.
At the end of the MV we discover that the maze has only one way in and no way out. Which I think is meant to represent and mirror the fact that they are saying they are trapped by love and once you are in there is no way out. The maze was also EXO's logo for this album and it is shaped like EXO's hexagon symbol.
Although, in the song they're not overdosing on anything except love. As the English lines in the song say: "So bad, no one can stop her ... her love, her love (is) fantasy ... Oh she wants me, Oh she's got me ... Oh she hurts me ... someone call the doctor ... (her love makes me) overdose ... too much of your love makes me overdose ... too much overdose ... You're in my heart ... with you I can't stop", etc. This song is kind of a love song about how powerful love can be that it feels like no matter how much you try to resist it you keep getting pulled back in like a drug.
However, for the storyline in the MV there might be a little more at play than just being drugged by love. Some theories say that the story in "Overdose" is connected to the story in "Lucky One." In "Overdose" the members get trapped in the maze and they can't find their way out. The red light represents the Red Force who have trapped them in the maze. It is thought that the maze causes the members to get disoriented and sort of become incapacitated so they are unable to defend themselves. The maze dulls their senses and makes it so they lose the ability to use their powers at full strength, etc.The theory speculates that sometime after the end of the "Overdose" MV EXO gets captured or transferred from the maze and brought to the government facility by the Red Force and that is why we see them in a hospital-like setting in their "Lucky One" MV. In the story in the "Lucky One" MV the members are drugged and they are being experimented on to discover what makes them so special. In "Lucky One" the members use their powers to break free from the facility. And this is where some theories connect the story in "Lucky One" to the story in their "Ko Ko Bop" MV. One theory is that the story in "Ko Ko Bop" is them trying to detox from the drugs they were given in the government facility in "Lucky One" and the blue Ko Ko Bop drink Suho mixes and the members drink is supposed to counteract the effects of the drugs in their system. That is why they act so out of it and in a drugged state in "Ko Ko Bop."
As you can see all of the stories in EXO's MVs are connected. We just have to pay close attention to every detail and put the pieces together.
Wow this is so detailed and clear. I learnt some more & interesting things about the EXOverse which I didn't know I needed. Thanks for the effort. ❤️
Omg thanks for reacting this!
This's one of my EXO' fave songs
Overdose 👏🏾👏🏾 is so good it was really intro to kpop I never get sick of the video lol I watched the MV so much I can do the coreo in my chair
overdose bring so many emotions really. Those times ... Old EXO-L here. EXO said that they don't like performing Overdose, for many reasons I feel like. But the song is so great though !
this is making me emo. brings back so many memories 🥺
It still give me chills after all these years 🥺♥️
I freaking love overdose concept it’s the song that made me Kai stan (along with the eve dance practice) I remember how I got crazy over his dancing, stage presence and his crazy doctor concept when I first saw him
I really like OVERDOSE MV where they highlighted a lot of the choreography while SM does not do it anywhere nowadays. Always enjoyed your reaction of EXO, Jeff!
Finally I was recommending this to him like months ago HAHAHAHHAHA
Omg I'm so glad to see you doing old Exo MVs the choreo and looks are really top tier and I miss it. I loveee call me baby and growl is of course iconic as well. Excited to see that coming
th-cam.com/video/IAfDZKvqvJM/w-d-xo.html 🔥
Even when Its still Sehun part rapping Kai's facial expression in the MV is alr bxisnxhajzbakhxj 😂😍
Gosh how I miss OT12.. I need to rewatch several earlier performances again (wolf, growl, overdose)
exo are always dramatic and biiiig in performances! you said it’s one of the hardest choreos you’ve seen from them, i can recommend you to watch performances of Lucky One. all the members say it’s their hardest choreo and they hate performing it 🥲
This brings back so much memories ♡ I used to be a big fan before I met Seventeen. I'm always grateful for this guys and Super Junior for making me starting liking Kpop that time.
I would really say that EXO started the whole performance choreography type of dances in the 2010+ kpop industry. Starting from Wolf and Growl, you could see the stark in difference of their performances from the other leading kpop groups at that time. This is why I can’t wait for all of the members to come back as OT9, because they really do bring such an impactful performance every time.
its one of my fave song! im glad you love it too sir.jeff, yes its dramatic. 😍
Kai with that hip thrust and his insane facial expressions. Damn.
I miss exo concert with overdose at the beginning of the performance you can really feel the energy n all the audiences are pump up dammmm i miss those moment🥲🥲
Overdose is the era where I got introduced to EXO and from then, I became a fan.
EXO always has the best Comebacks, Choreo and Concepts. Period!!
Overdose is one of those all time classics
Thank you for the reaction, Jeff ☺️

I was obsessed with the mv and song when it first came out and I still love it! still a bop
I don’t know if you noticed, but in the MV, Suho stood on top of Kyungsoo’s feet, but in their performances, Baekhyun took over.
The one who did the flip in the end was Tao. He was the last chinese member that left the group after Kris & Luhan. Tao used to be a martial artist, hence his amazign abilities. It was widely known that Tao was very badly treated by SM Entertainment and was neglected & overworked a lot. He was often seen in Crutches or even Wheelchairs because SM practically forced him to perform even if he was injured already. They forced him to do all these hard tricks on stage when he should0ve been resting. They even made him buy his own medicine for his recovery. It got so bad that Tao's father went public about the whole thing and posted a letter he wrote on social media, practically begging the Company to let his son go. Tao and his family filed a lawsuit to get out of the 10 year contract but he lost. Eventually, Tao made his exit in 2015. He went back to his family in china where he recieved treatment for all the damage his body had been enduring. His father said though that due to the years of mistreatment he had gotten, his body would be suffering permanent damage. After taking some time off, Tao started doing solo music in china and despite much backlash from former fans, faulting him for leaving EXO, his music was very popular in china. With the help of his father, he built up hhis own management company and is currently one of the biggest popstars in china. Sadly his dad has passed away just last year. On a happier note though, Tao is still very close friends with Luhan. They actually have been on several chinese survival shows together as mentors & producers. Noteably "Chuang 2020", which i highly recommend watching.
You have to watch their MAMA 2014 stage, my favourite even though they were tired af 🥺❤❤❤
The site looks amazinggg
Thank you for the reactions ✨
Overdose still the best Kpop Mv to me even in 2021. You may watch EXO performance in MAMA 2014 with OT10.
I totally forgot that Xiumin and Chen were in exo m lol I really thought that they were Chinese before😂
You should react to purples kiss dance line up of this song it’s really good
I was just watching a live performance earlier today (Shanghai, I think) and the guys were in position to start but the announcers (plural) would NOT stop talking. The top position had to keep crouching down & the “thigh guys” looked like they were being tortured by the time they could actually start.
*OT12 WAS AN ERA* nothing quite hits the same now
good ol' times :')
Beautiful reaction as always. EXO have staged and restaged and restaged this song for performances, concerts, as a whole, as subunits, with more or less members. Almost every stage is different. They are heroes!
Please react to live performance of " Call me baby+ Touch it + Chill" in Seoul ♥️
