Thanks for reacting to EXO. Their story line tells that they are aliens from EXO planet. Each member has their own individual superpower, which you will see in this video as well as the EXOM version of the video. At the beginning of this video, the narrator mentioned the red force, which is one of the enemies they’re up against. Throughout their videos the red force appears different, for example androids, clones, robots, etc. The main objective is to destroy the heart of the tree of life, which EXO are the guardians of. The lyrics for mama have a very deep meaning and I do suggest whether you do reaction or on your own time reading the lyrics. Also at the beginning the group was split in 2. EXO-K (Korean) EXO-M (Mandarin) and the fans are called EXO-L (Love) EXO-K + EXO-L + EXO-M= WE ARE ONE, which is the slogan. It basically shows that the fans tie the 2 groups together by using the alphabetical order K L M. The fan club’s anniversary is 08/05/2014, so we are all very excited since it is only a few days away. The group recently put out their 7th album on July 10th called Exist. I hope you continue to enjoy your EXO journey, welcome to EXO Planet. WE ARE ONE 🖤
Believe it or not, this song was what draw me into Kpop. I was just minding my business and I watched a korean drama for the first time. It was called To the Beautiful You, randomly they had a party and the entertainment was EXO singing this song. I remember being so confused. I didn't know if I liked it. I didn't even know kpop existed. That was 10 years ago. I feel so old saying that. Anyway it turned out to be a bottomless hole I'm still in.
The beginning is the intro to EXO. They were the first KPOP group to debut with a story concept in Kpop. You will see a lot of their mvs will showcase their super powers. 😂
Thank you for your reaction. Guess what... The story told at the beginning of this MV is their storyline which is followed in each of their songs even the solo songs. And they even apply their alien power in their choreography. You should watch their concert MAMA+MONSTER+WOLF... You'll be shocked I promise.
In order to really see the full story you actually have to also watch the EXO-M version of "Mama." The whole point of both the EXO-K (Korean) and EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese) versions of their songs and each MV is to introduce you to EXO's concept and storyline. If you only watch EXO-K, you only see half the story. "Mama" is like the first episode of EXO's drama -- it sets up everything to come in the rest of the series. And if you miss any part of the first episode you will forever be lost when it comes to the rest of EXO's story. If you watch both versions of their "Mama" MV, you might be able to understand a little more about EXO's mission and everything they have been sent to Earth to do. Because in the EXO-K version the whole story focuses on the K members, but in the M version it will show you the M members and explain their powers and each of their roles in the story. You only see small clips of the M members in the Korean version. But in the Chinese version the story continues, and the EXO-M members are the ones that are highlighted. Exo, as in exoskeleton, means "outer," so as a member of EXO they are outside the ordinary. The group's concept comes from the real term exoplanet, which is a term that is used for a planet that is outside our solar system, so their name was chosen to represent the fact that they are stars that are "out of this world" when it comes to their talents. SM Entertainment has all of EXO's release dates and concepts planned out for years in advance, and some of their MVs are even specifically released on days when we have had an eclipse or other planetary phenomenon. In Korean Mama is a term they use to address a leader or king or queen. It's a term of reverence and respect. It's similar to saying "Your majesty." If you watch very many historical Korean dramas you will hear the characters call the royal family, and especially the head of the royal family or leader, "Mama." So, in this song, they are speaking to the leader or deity who sent them to Earth, essentially asking, "Now that I'm here, Your Majesty what should I do? How do I fulfill what you have sent me to do?" etc. As you can see, if you want to understand EXO's story, it's very important that you pay attention to the introduction story in "Mama" because it is literally setting up EXO's storyline. The narrator is telling you EXO's whole origin story, about how EXO have been split up into two groups EXO-K and EXO-M and they are part of the same group and yet separate -- part of two worlds that come together as one, etc. And he is telling you about how the Tree of Life has been split in half to protect it from falling into the Red Forces' control -- each half of the tree representing one half of EXO (EXO-K and EXO-M) -- and EXO's mission is to find the two halves of the tree and reunite them to restore peace in the world. In the EXO-K version of "Mama" the members are using their powers to search for and meet up with the EXO-M members. That is why you see the K members traveling to find the M member. For example, you see Kai using his power of teleportation as he searches for the M members. And, because Xiumin is a member of EXO-M, you see him appear in the mirror because the K members are searching for him and he is being summoned, etc. As the story goes, when EXO arrived on Earth they did not all arrive together. Their story starts out that they were dropped on Earth in different locations all over the world -- which is explained more in their individual Pathcode teaser videos as part of their "Call Me Baby" comeback promotions -- and they have to search for each other and meet up, kind of like in a quest, before they can begin to figure out how to accomplish the tasks they have been sent to Earth to do. When you see the members all together in their "Mama" MVs they are together because they are still on Planet Exo where they are still united. But when you see them separated this is when they have all been sent to Earth.They keep flashing back and forth between present moments and recent past moments. So, how I interpret the story is that at the end they aren't back together yet, but that is a scene from when they were still on Planet Exo as they are preparing to be sent to Earth. The two worlds the narrator talks about in the introduction could possibly be different dimensions, so you often see parts of their story in their MVs and other content, which could be interpreted as them being in different dimensions or time periods or different moments in history. Each of the members in EXO-K has a counterpart in EXO-M, so part of what you were seeing in this MV was them showing you which EXO-K member corresponded with which EXO-M member. For example, Suho (EXO-K) with the power of water corresponds with Xiumin (EXO-M) who has the power of frost/ice. Chanyeol (EXO-K) with the power of fire is Kris' (EXO-M) counterpart because he has the power of flight, and as you will see when you watch the EXO-M MV, Chanyeol has the power of the phoenix and Kris has the power of the dragon, which both animal spirits have fire elements and flight so they connect. D.O. (EXO-K) with the power of force is connected to Chen (EXO-M) with the power of thunder/lightning. And Sehun (EXO-K), who has the power of wind, is connected to Tao (EXO-M) who controls time. Baekhyun (K) with the power of light is connected to Lay (M) with the power of healing; and Kai (K) with teleportation is linked to Luhan (M) with the power of telekinesis, etc. That's how they maintain their bond even as members of separate groups. Also, the symbols you saw represent each of the members and it has to do with each of their powers. For instance, Kai's symbol is a pyramid and it represents teleportation, and Lay's symbol is a unicorn and it represents his power of healing, etc. (In future MVs and other things to do with EXO, when you see things like a pyramid, you know that is a reference to something to do with Kai, etc.) Even the most minute of details in EXO's content has something to do with their origin story and EXO's storyline. During that screamo part, the "tattoos" on Kai's face and body say EXO and also all of the EXO members names, or at least the 6 EXO-K members names, as well as EXO's symbol and other hidden clues to EXO's origin story. (All of the words on Kai's face and body are in English, so, if you pause that section and really look, you will see there is a whole story even in his body paint, etc. ) And although it looks like Kai is the one that does the really high note at that moment, the voice you are hearing is actually Baekhyun. Each member in EXO-K also has a partner in EXO-M that fills the same role in their respective group. For example, Baekhyun is the main vocalist in EXO-K and Chen is the main vocalist in EXO-M; D.O. is the other main vocalist in K and Luhan was the other main vocalist in M; Chanyeol is the main rapper in K and Kris was the main rapper in M; Sehun is the lead rapper in K and Xiumin is the lead rapper in M; Kai is the main dancer in K and Lay is the main dancer in M; and then it's Suho is a lead vocalist in K and Tao was a rapper/vocalist in M, (I'm not sure how these two really work together because Tao is more of a rapper and Suho is a vocalist, but because they are the last two they are put together.) In order to understand the story even more, you should also look up the English translation of the lyrics. The majority of the gregorian chant is in English: "Shoot anonymous, anonymous; Heartless, mindless; No one who care about me ... Careless, careless (Mama: Mama in Korean means Your Majesty); Shoot anonymous, anonymous (Mama); Heartless, mindless (Mama); No one who care about me (Mama)." If you pay attention to what the whole song is about, it will give you even more insight into why EXO have been sent to Earth and what their mission is all about. EXO's storyline begins with them being sent to Earth to try and heal the world and to stop and prevent the Red Force from taking over and corrupting everything. And the story in the lyrics of "Mama" foreshadows what they will have to overcome and understand about humans and our world to accomplish their tasks. In this song EXO kind of takes humanity to task and asks us to explain why we would allow all this anger and hatred to cloud everything around us and why we don't love each other more? It's really a very beautiful message and the more you learn about EXO the more interesting the whole thing becomes. In the song the members, being aliens from another planet, are struggling to understand how we as humans could allow all this evil and bad things to happen all around us, such as war, hatred and the destruction of the environment, etc. and they are daunted by the fact that they are now tasked with figuring out how to fix it all and prevent more evil from taking place. That's why they need to find the two halves of the Tree of Life and reunite them to restore peace. EXO's story is part supernatural and Sci-fi and part based on reality, which touches on real life events and things that are really happening in the world. And from the very beginning, even during pre-debut days, and everything since then and everything yet to come, it all is connected to that storyline. Everything EXO does and everything you see from them, including Baekhyun's and Kai's parts in SM Entertainment's supergroup SuperM, all has something to do with the concept and story that began with "Mama," and each new installment of something from the members expands a little further on EXO's story. It's all been designed to connect to EXO's storyline.
Love your reaction. Try googling the lyrics to Mama. The text fits perfectly with 2023 with the internet and lack of human contact. Try one of their live performances EXOPLANET The ElyXion in Seoul | Diamond+Coming Over+Run This+Drop That+Power. Their energy is amazing. 🔥
@@BrianMeetsWorld I would also recommend Exo Eldorado live in Japan and if you like the Michael Jackson vibe then listen to Exo Baekhyun Bambi. It's like watching Michael. If you want to know something about their power, try watching THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO EXO | group history, storyline, and member info. It will help you a lot in understanding their storyline.
There’s no doubt that the Asian world loves and honors Michael Jackson. The CEO of EXO went to the U.S. for his engineering degree and watched a lot of mtv, so yes the inspiration was MJ. EXOs superpowers: Xuimin/Frost, Leader Suho/Water, Chen/Thunder/Lightning, Chanyeol/Flight of the Phoenix Fire, Baekyhun/Light, D.O./Force/Earth, Kai/Teleportation, Sehun/Wind. Ex-EXO members who terminated their contracts by suing the company: Kris/Flame of the Dragon Fire, Luhan/Telekinesis and Tao/Time Control. Former EXO member Lay/Healing did not renew his contract however he is still considered an EXO member for life.
Of course Michael is just the actual one true GOAT you can’t tell me otherwise everyone nation, culture and ethnicity in the world knows the man. And anyone who shows and pays homage to him I’m a,ready a huge fan and I think that’s why I’m so amazed and a easy fan of EXO and the other groups I’ve heard 🫱🏾🫲🏼💯❤️😁

I think I'm getting drawn into that same hole now to!!
Lol not a lot of exols know that they did make a cameo in "To the Beautiful You". 💯🥺
@@yoong7639 The same as@gaby5254, I too got into EXO ever since that cameo and D.O. was the one pulled me into his EXOPLANET!
