I don't care how good the title track will be, I already know that THIS SONG RIGHT HERE will be one of my most played songs of the year!
I think this has to be the most emotionally touching song by them for me. The sound of it all, of their voices, how they are blending, the instrumentals - it just pierces my soul and body in the most beautiful and painful way. I really cannot express how much I love this song and how intensely it makes me feel.
Exo are just a safe haven for good music to me!
YES! Beautiful + painful! That's a great way to describe it!!! 💚
This song and mv is just so ethereal. It brings tears to my eyes every time I watch.
Yesssss. Ethereal. That's the perfect word to describe it!
Every exol feels this way 😭
As much as i love Shinee and Monsta X..EXO will always be my Ult group ❤❤
Right?? Every time I think another group might be wrecking me, I see EXO again and I'm like....... Wait, no. No no no. 😅
Thank you for your kind words💙 We EХO-L we love EХO so much because they are incredibly talented and with each new song they touch our heart💯❤
Yes yes yes!!!!!
There will be another pre-release on June 30th and the grand comeback on July 10th ❤
Yasssss! I! Am! READY!!!
Thank you Khadijah for loving them like a true EXO L. These men deserve the world! The quality girl….THE QUALITY. Vocals, music, visuals, everything!
Thank you for watching and sharing this moment with me!!! THE. QUALITY. FOR. REAL!!!!!! 😍
And this was just the pre-release, there’s another MV coming out on 6/30 for Hear Me Out another new song (that we haven’t heard) before the actual album and title track are released
Yesssssss! They know we've been starving and so now they are FEEDING us!!!
I'm always happy to see EXO-L loving our kings. Definitely loved this song and I'm already excuted for the main track ❤
There are a ton of theories to go along with EXO's "Let Me In" MV, but what makes the most sense to me is that the lyrics are all about EXO's connection with their fans and their teaser images are connected to EXO's powers and storyline. For example, Kai says, "Here I am and everything I do for you is for us ...", which I see connected to the fact that his power is teleportation and it's his job to travel wherever the other EXO members and fans are in order to connect all of us together -- plus, it also could be connected to the scene in their "For Life" MV, where the sign says "You Were Here." Xiumin's teaser highlights the line, "For long-lasting love, I will freeze my heart," referring to his power of frost. Baekhyun says, "To the Future with us who resemble light," referring to his ability to control light. Chanyeol says, "Don't worry if the darkness approaches, I will shine the light toward you, which could refer to his fire power, etc.
D.O. also mentioned in their behind the scenes video that the "Let Me In" MV is a worldview of EXO's lore. If you watch the MV carefully, when time rewinds, D.O.'s notebook showed that he knew the meteor was going to hit Earth. We saw in his notebook that he has drawn a picture of the meteor, which seems to show that he already knew it was coming.
And as the MV goes on, it's revealed that actually all the EXO members knew that the meteor was on a collision course for Earth and that it would hit at that exact moment. One theory is that EXO is traveling through time and space and they are trying to prevent whatever happened in the past from repeating itself again or they are trying to stop or reverse what happened from happening in the first place, etc. The whole "Let Me In" MV has a feeling like they all are aware of what is happening, as if they have been through this hundreds of times, but they haven't been able to do anything about it yet.
The story in "Let Me In" could all be a big reveal of what they were talking about way back in their pre-debut "History" lyrics and MV, because in that song they talk about wanting to prevent history from being repeated. "History" is about failing at something and trying again to make it right. So, the theory is that in this part of the story EXO made some sort of unknown "big mistake" on their planet, so they have been sent to Earth to try and right their wrongs by trying to prevent the Red Force from causing a "big mistake" or prevent humanity from allowing a "big mistake" to happen on Earth. Which now we may have discovered is the meteor that crashes into Earth and destroys humanity.
In "Let Me In" we see Sehun and D.O. sitting at the same outdoor cafe, and they make eye contact but they don't interact because it's thought that EXO are supposed to be going about their tasks on Earth incognito and so they don't want to be noticed by whomever might be watching them or to reveal their location to the Red Force, etc. Some speculate that when D.O. and Sehun are looking at each other they are silently questioning whether they could use their powers to save the world.
But, as we see, D.O. choses to walk away and let everything happen because he knows nothing they have tried in the past has prevented disaster and they have no better solutions at this time. We also see Sehun sigh and continue talking to his friend even though he knows what would happen. We then see D.O.pause and stand there, watching Sehun and possibly thinking about what is about to happen.
In the next scene, we see Baekhyun is standing at the exact spot where he knew the meteor would hit Earth. We see that everything is dark and void of light, which seems to indicate that he is unable to use his power of light and he is unable to stop the meteor as he watches it hurtle toward him.
Then we see that as the meteor hits Earth, the end credits of the movie that Chen was watching started playing, which could possibly be happening in the movie theater we saw Chen and the other EXO members sitting in in "Love Shot." In "Love Shot" we saw Suho trying to prevent the members from watching the video by covering Chen's eyes. The scene with the end credits seems to be saying that this is the end of the world. However, as we see in the next moment, this was where time rewound and, as they say in EXO's "Call Me Baby" Pathcode teasers, "The beginning = The End."
However, there is something more going on with Chen in the theater because when Xiumin entered the movie theater, Chen squinted at him. Something seemed off about this scene. If you notice, when you see them laughing together, they seem to be watching a replay of a scene starring themselves before the meteor hit, but why?
Another thing to note is the references to all the rocks. The ones we see the members have seem dormant like normal rocks until time starts rewinding then they appear to come to life. The interesting thing is we only see Chanyeol, Suho and Kai with the rocks. This may symbolize that these three had already experienced the meteor hitting the Earth at some point and they each kept a fragment of it to help them remember in the future or in another time period what had happened. (Kai, Suho and Chanyeol were also the only members we see in the "For Life" MV.)
When the story focuses on Chanyeol, it looks like he may be standing at the epicenter of where the meteor may have hit the first time it struck Earth, or he has traveled back in time to right after the meteor first hit Earth. He looks confused and alone, which seems to parallel his "Call Me Baby" Pathcode teaser and he's recalling what happened.
Then we see the stones start to float once again, which looks like it might be the pieces of the original meteor being reactivated like they are coming back together as time reverses. This also reminds me of D.O.'s power, which is the manipulation of Earth elements that give him super strength. In some of EXO's early teaser videos and concert VCRs from the early days, we see that D.O. is able to use his power of force to take giant rocks and use them to stop missiles from hitting their targets. So, was D.O. involved in helping to prevent the original meteor from causing destruction?
And nothing in an EXO MV is ever random. For example, I think the child throwing the rock at the beginning is shown for a very specific reason. Many think the fact that he throws the rock is meant to be a metaphor for how the meteor wasn't a natural occurrence, but was actually caused by something man-made. As part of SM's Culture Universe storyline, it is thought that the underlying message the story is trying to address is all the things that we as humans are doing wrong that need to be fixed, such as war, hate, the destruction of the environment, governmental control, greed of money, etc., which is revealed through the interference of the Red Force and their influence on humanity. Therefore, it is thought that someone or something has directed this large rock toward Earth or caused the rock's trajectory to be directed toward Earth.
There's also one scene in EXO's "Lucky One" MV where we see Kai in space with lots of meteors, which could be a foreshadowing of things to come. Therefore, some now think "Let Me In" is taking place after EXO has escaped in "Lucky One", which could explain why the members no longer have the ability to use their powers in "Let Me In". The Red Force stopped EXO's ability to use their powers when they were experimenting on them in "Lucky One". We originally thought that "Ko Ko Bop" took place right after "Lucky One," which would explain why they were loopy and unable to control their powers in "Ko Ko Bop", but since "Obsession's" part of the story was introduced, we now think that "Ko Ko Bop" is actually all about X-EXO's storyline, EXO's alter ego clones. That's why it is now thought that "Let Me In" is where EXO's story picks up after they escape in "Lucky One."
"Let Me In" could also be taking place in conjunction with "Obsession's" part of the storyline, because we see the world being destroyed at the end of "Obsession." Maybe EXO are rewinding time in order to try to prevent whatever happened in order to stop the destruction of Earth, which could be caused by the battle between EXO and X-EXO or the Red Force, as we see come to the boiling point in "Obsession".
Also, notice how when time was turned back, only Xiumin and Chen, who were in the house, rewound, and everyone else stayed where they were. There are two theories to explain this. Either they are in parallel universes where they can see what is happening or maybe one of them or some of them aren't EXO members, but they are an X-EXO member in disguise.
In another scene we see time rewind and the rock that Suho had disappears, we think that could be because the "disaster" never happened or hasn't happened yet. Therefore, it is thought that in this reality EXO must be the only ones who know what happened in a previous time and place because the timeline has been altered or changed, something must have prevented it from happening or has changed the events which lead up to the meteor striking Earth, etc. As the time reversed, it gave them another chance but they have to relive it all before they can figure out how to change things.
The most interesting part of this MV storyline is that there is no eclipse or sun in the video, and an eclipse/sun and moon are where EXO gets their powers from. Some speculate that this means that in their next MV there will be an eclipse, which will allow their powers to return. It's pretty clear that the EXO members are unable to use their powers in "Let Me In" because, for example, why wouldn't D.O. just use his power of force to break up the meteor and why would Kai need a car if he is able to teleport wherever he wants to go?
THIS WAS SO FASCINATING TO READ!!!! Thank you for sharing these theories! Now I'm going to watch the whole MV again, with all these things in mind!
@@KPopwithKhadija A few other things to note: Tao, a former member of EXO-M, had the ability to turn back time, so it is thought that when he left the group that his power may have been transferred to one or all the members. Therefore, EXO are the ones who are turning back time throughout their "Let Me In" MV.
And notice how Chen and Xiumin, the two members of EXO-M; besides Lay, are together throughout this whole MV. I'm not sure what the significance of that is yet, but I'm sure it was done on purpose. Because we often see the remaining EXO-M members are even put next to each other in EXO's choreography. Even though they no longer promote as two separate groups anymore, EXO-M is still part of their storyline, so there are subtle clues that SM is using them in the story.
However, you should also know that no one really knows for sure what is happening in any of EXO's MVs. There are well known theories and storylines that are accepted within the fandom, which we think might explain what is happening in each MV. And there are theories about how each MV is connected and where each falls within their larger storyline, but nothing is set in stone. SM has never confirmed or denyed any of our theories and they leave it up to fans to decipher it all, so all we can do is hope that some day they come out with a book or movie that explains it all so that we will finally know whether anything we thought was happening is actually true.
I'm so excited they are back the world is healing. And were getting 3 more MVs like I love it!!
Subscribed for EXO. Our boys are finally back with a bang
Thanks for subscribing! RIGHT, they're back and we're so grateful! And you're totally right about this song and MV feeling ethereal. I feel it in my heart! The MV suits the vibe so perfectly, too.
let me in was so beautiful!! i've been an exo-l since 2019, and they were one of the first groups i fell in love with when I got into kpop, this is only the second comeback i've gotten to experience with them and i'm just so glad to see them all together again, still wish kai could promote with them though :(
while i have your attention i can't WAIT to see you react to ateez's bouncy!! i know you've wanted to get into them more and i think you'll really enjoy this one!! love your videos as always
YEAH! I got into k-pop in 2018 and absolutely fell in love with EXO. Buttttt we haven't gotten many comebacks from them, right? SO glad they're back!
And yessssss. ATEEZ is coming soon!!! Gonna do a bunch of ATEEZ content that y'all suggested cuz I want to be into them the way I'm into other boy groups haha. But I've heard this latest comeback is NUTSO
Yaay🎉🥳💜hiii my queen ⚡️
I will hear a lot of k-pop songs by groups that I absolutely LOVE and they will even get stuck in my head for a couple days/weeks but EXO lives in my head at all times. I think it's because EXO can do what a lot of groups do but not a lot of groups can do what EXO does, if that makes sense...
This is the realest comment...!
💜 the reaction Khadija….
Thank you for watching and supporting!
Can’t believe I found you! Hi girl! I really missed a reaction to Baekhyuń‘s All I got and Cry for Love! Good to see you again!

I love yooooouuuuuuu! 💚 Thank you for being here!
Hello beautiful I love your reaction to EXO they are my ultimate favorite group of all time in K-pop this is the group that got me into K-pop for the past 10 years EXO reminds me Nsync and Backstreet Boys and harmonize like Boyz II Men my other three favorite groups. EXO second release will be hear me out on the 30th and July 10th the album and title-track will drop the same day I guarantee this will be EXO 7th million-seller album they are the group who started this trend of selling millions of albums. They were actually the first group in 12 years to sell millions of albums when no other groups were doing it and they did it year after year because of the love they're beautiful EXO-L SM Entertainment is not going to ruin our amazing year
YESSSSS! BSB, NSYNC & Boyz II Men are who I grew up on too and I immediately LOVED EXO for the same reasons! I am so excited for the next release & the comeback.
If you want a pretty good rundown of EXO's storyline, I would recommend "EXO Concept Guide(s)" by Cesar Oh, who is the one who also has created the best individual member guides for EXO. There are several episodes of the concept guides, ep. 1 th-cam.com/video/-XuZr-ZwoIw/w-d-xo.html. Just be aware that EXO's storyline is very complex and very in depth, so these guides only touch on the basics and are meant to help you understand how the story is designed, so you can start to find connections and clues on your own within EXO's newer content. Also, the way EXO's storyline is designed is that nothing is ever in chronological order, so from MV to MV and even within a specific MV the story my not be happening in order. Therefore, as an EXO-L we have to become detectives and try and remember everything we have ever seen or heard from EXO in order to decide where each part of story might fit within the larger storyline. This also means that with every new comeback, MV, concert, event, or introduction of something to do with EXO, the storyline may evolve or change because we are given more information that we didn't have in the past. So even though most of the information in the concept guides still applies, there might be things that have slightly changed or evolved because newer information has since been introduced. Plus, in order to fully understand SM's SM Culture Universe storyline, you also have to pay attention to all of SM's other groups and artists because the storylines of the company's other artists are also connected to EXO's storyline.
Oh man! I feel like I might need a whole 10-week course dedicated to this!! lol. I'll learn it all, though! I love the fact that it's so intricate and gives fans a whole deeper level to get into!! Also how the different groups all play together. Brilliant!
