Ooof! This echo is your new enemy😂 Love you guys....obviously! Always gotta give my boys a hard time. As im sure you have gathered from my comments on other videos, im diving down the Kpop rabbit hole with you guys so all of this is new to me and so far im not hating it. I was trying to figure out where the song took me at first and then KP said it. Bruno Mars. Which threw me off because you said R&B in the beginning. But we got there lol. This was a great one guys! As always much love 💜 Also: Siah why you always clownin? Got a damn boxing glove on saying its cold outside?! 🤦♀️😂💜
@mauraleekorrupt if I am being totally honest, im the same way with the artist Ren. Ren is why I started watching reaction channels. Its as close as I can get to experiencing his songs for the first time again. Its almost like living vicariously through the reactors, as crazy as that sounds lol. Once I latched on to some reactors I love watching ive started watching other artists they react to and it has definitely broadened my musical horizons and even changed my opinion on some artists I've known about but weren't fans of. I have definitely found some songs ive added to my Playlist during the Kpop journey TDIP has taken me on💜
People kinda mislead you here, EXO’s music is heavily inspired on R&B but their titel tracks are never 100% one genre, their B-sides though 👀 if you want their R&B you gotta look at their B-Sides
i agree. their b-sides are more r&b than the title tracks. i recommend Goodnight, Let Me In, Hear Me Out, They Never Know, What is Love, What If just to name a few.
That's because they're always using r&b as a base, but they are always experimenting, also r&b has too much faces, just as Baekhyung said, r&b is veeeery versatile and they're just taking advantage of that ❤
I disagree with the comments recommending Tempo as a similar song to Bambi. If you want a slower more RnB type song from EXO, I highly recommend checking out Let Me In from their most recent album; it's definitely slower and more vocal heavy-ish.
Really starting to think people don't know good rnb lol Cuz these recommendations for reactors without any regard for that channel's own tastes just have not been it.
If you want r&b songs, then listen to EXO’s b-side songs. “What is love?” by EXO-K (Baekhyun and D.O.) “Let me in” “Sweet lies” “What if” “Thunder” “Playboy” “Artificial love” “No makeup” “My turn to cry” “Wait” pure vocals 😍 “My answer” “Stronger” “Ohh la la la” “Tell me what is love” by D.O. “Cry for love” and “All I got” by Baekhyun are r&b masterpieces 😍
For a better EXO experience ,watch their killing voice .youll get to listen to some snippets of their songs .and discover their discography. They are hands down the vocal kings of kpop. 😊
I only love EXOs rapping style. They are the ones who caught my interest in rap, rock etc. I kicked rocks decades ago with the west due to the nature of its content.
Which is funny cause I used to hate rap but Exo is the reason I started appreciating rapping a bit and even enjoy it now. I guess Exo's rapping is my style.
EXO is an RnB vocal-based group, rap isn't their forte. In fact, EXO's main rapper Chanyeol is such a good singer that he would have easily been the main vocalist of another group, but this group already has too much vocal talent, so he mainly raps in a more singer-like cadence and then contributes to the vocals once in a while. While, Chen, Baekhyun, and DO are some of the greatest of all time vocalists of K-pop. I really want you to react to their songs Monster and Call Me Baby, but, EXO is the kind of group you need to watch live. I'd recommend you watch their accoustic live medley. It'll blow your mind how good they are!
Actually letmein showcased Chanyeol & Sehun technical rap ability off the beat. What they are not is angry copy/paste of us/uk rap. They integrate vocals & rap. So in tempo the rap backed by vocals under the instrumental.
U missed the “morning call, hand against the panel aka titanic & bed squeak throughout the song😂😂. That should tell u all about switching slow/fast tempo.
it is completely an opinion to say that rap isn't their forte just because these guys didn't like it. and they aren't a RnB group at all, what? they do all genres.
@@zeviolett How is that an opinion? Chanyeol is a good rapper, but, he's not appearing in any 'best rappers of Kpop' lists. And Sehun is a dance-visual member. He's not a competent rapper. Groups who are rap-focused like BTS, Stray Kidz, NCT, BigBang, XG, and BlackPink have multiple great rappers and the rapping sections are the highlight of their songs. For EXO, it's the high notes and runs. I'm not trying to put EXO down. I would say the same for all the groups with the best vocals like Mamamoo, Red Velvet, Girls' Gen, and Shinee. I mean, Moonbyul is a fantastic rapper, but, Mamamoo's forte is vocal performance. Also, EXO largely makes RnB music, just like how BTS is a hiphop-based group, despite having experimented with all kinds of genres.
fun fact: the bridge was spontaneously made by them because they were having fun at the studio, just harmonizing each other and turned out great, so they decided to add it to the song 💯
Okay, so right at the beginning when y’all said this was recommended to you if you liked R&B, I went ‘HUH??’ 😂 You were definitely misled on that. As a long-time MAJOR fan of Exo, I agree that your assessments are very fair! Exo is a VOCAL HEAVY group - known as the vocal kings of kpop. They have great rap parts on some songs (I personally don’t think Tempo is one of those songs) and I could probably suggest a couple. It’s definitely a thing across kpop though that the companies are always wanting to squeeze rap verses in where they are absolutely not needed 🤦🏽♀ One thing that gets glossed over a lot is that the primary consumer base for kpop (especially domestically in korea) are not particularly r&b enjoyers, and it doesn’t align with the formula of how they promote on music shows. So even for groups who do a lot of r&b, the title tracks are usually more on the pop side. Now on the other hand, the b-side tracks are where you’ll find what your looking for, so I really hope y’all are cool with doing lyric videos and other performances that are in a non MV format. Recs ⬇️
I stand 10 toes down on my Exo recommendations, so y’all can call me out if they fall flat! 😆 R&B b-sides - Sweet Lies - Ya ya ya (hip hop-leaning) - Thunder - Ooh La la la Title Tracks that are a vibe (all have music vids) - Monster - Obsession (good rap verses) - Love Shot Baekhyun solos - Cry For Love (b-side) - UN Village (MV) - All I Got (b-side) Kai - Film Kai first - Hmmm (MV) - Peaches (MV) - Amnesia (b-side)
8:06 these are a vocal kings ladies and gentleman that acapella is just masterpiece next Exo song you must check are : Love shot,Call me baby,Love me right,Obsession,MAMA,Overdose and more
Every song of EXO is unique and one of a kind. However Tempo is not the pure R&B sound they are known for. Listen to “What is love” “Sweet lies” and “What if” to get what we are talking about when we say they are the R&B kings of k-pop.
Thank you for reacting to EXO! I grew up listening to RnB, Soul and Gospel. EXO brought me into K-pop. But they do a lot of genres and I love it all. They can saaaaang their butts off and keep seeing vocal coaches despite how good they already are. Their RnB is as polished as Motown, but their B-sides are more Stax Records. They got me with Cream Soda because the vocals reminded me of Prince. So for more RnB go for Hear Me Out, Cream Soda, their pre-debut What Is Love and Tell Me (What Is Love) definitely! Groove, Artificial Love and Day After Day are RnB chill. Sweet Lies, What If and White Noise. Boomerang reminds me of Rene and Angela. I get what you were saying about the Rap Line, but I love them. Their style reminds me of the jazzy old school rap like Digiable Planets before record companies started pushing gangsta rap. I love metal too. And they had me at Drop that and Chen's "Uprising." And other favorites Let Me In, Forever, Jekyll, Obsession (hard), and the classics Monster and Call Me Baby. Please react to any of these. Y'all are legit and I'm already subscribed. Thanks again!
The song is called "Tempo" and the album is named Don't Mess Up My Tempo, so, the tempo is intentionally a prominent part of the song. I think the tempo is also supposed to mirror the uncertainty and unsteadiness that EXO are feeling within the storyline in the MV and be the driving force spurring them on in the story. However, if we read the lyrics, we see that in the song they are talking to a girl and they are telling her, "Don't mess up my tempo." And yes, part of the tempo in the song is created by the squeak of what is thought to be bed springs. (The underlying theme of the song is a tongue and cheek reference to sexual innuendo.) On the surface, the song and MV is meant to be enjoyed by the casual watcher and listener like you would any song on the radio, but if you want to delve in deeper and explore EXO's storyline, then there is so much more going on. As an SM Entertainment group, it shouldn't be a surprise that EXO are amazing vocalists -- hence the acapella part in the song -- that's why they are nicknamed "the vocal kings of Kpop." SM Entertainment is literally known as the vocal powerhouse of the industry. All of SM's artists are amazing singers, even the company's rappers. Fun fact: There wasn't supposed to be an acapella section in the song. The members were just messing around in the recording studio riffing with each other and the sound engineer loved it so much that they decided to put it in the song. "Tempo" came out in 2018, so there are 9 members in this MV. (Only 8 members are in the group scenes.) This is special because it's the first time we have seen Lay, EXO's Chinese member, participate in anything with EXO since 2016 and you won't see him again in another EXO project until their "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV in 2021. However, although Lay was in this MV, we won't see or hear him sing or dance because you watched the Korean version, and at this time, because of the political issues between China and Korea, the Chinese government only gave him permission to appear in the Korean version, but he wasn't allowed to participate in the song. If you want to hear Lay sing you will have to watch the Mandarin version. To understand the choices being made in this song and the story in the MV, you have to be aware that everything EXO is involved in, and I literally mean almost everything, is connected in some way to their concept and storyline. EXO's MVs are kind of like a movie -- it's a movie that has been going on for the past 12+ years -- since pre-debut -- and it has no sign of coming to an end any time soon. The aesthetic of the "Tempo" MV is centered around the color red because the setting is supposed to be depicting the members under the Red Forces' control. Without going into too much detail -- there is so much going on in EXO's "Tempo" MV that it's hard to grasp it all -- what fan theories think is happening in "Tempo" is it's showing the members of EXO all trapped in separate dimensions. Each of those rooms, could possibly be a different dimension and that is why we see the glitches and why we hear Xiumin and Baekhyun with that computerized voice, because they aren't all in the same place at the same time, so their voices are being distorted as they try to connect between dimensions, etc. They also still could be trapped in different rooms within the maze, like what we see them in their "Overdose" MVs. For several of EXO's MVs we believe they are still trapped within the maze and they are continuously trying to find their way out. The maze seems to affect their connection to their powers and it clouds their minds and dulls their senses, so not only are they fighting the Red Force and X-EXO, but they are also struggling to break free from the fog the Red Force has them in. That's why we see some of the members just lazily sitting around and kind of blankly staring off into space at times. Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in the MV and he is the one standing above everything looking down, so this is one example of where we think that maybe he is the only one who has avoided the Red Force's control and he is observing everything that is going on from the outside. We see Chanyeol (one of the main rappers) being interrogated by Chen with the inkblot test and that is thought to be the members trying to figure out who are the real EXO members and who are the evil X-EXO members created by the Red Force -- or who are the real members and who are the clones. At this point everyone is suspicious of each other and no one can be trusted. Also notice how the inkblot looks like it's shaped like a butterfly. The butterfly is an important part of SM's SM Culture Universe storyline. We see a butterfly in EXO's debut "Mama" MVs in 2012, which is thought to be connected to the colorful butterfly that is Ningning's symbol in aespa's story, so we see it all the time in aespa's MVs starting in 2020 as Ningning navigates through the digital world. We also see a butterfly appear in several of SM's other groups' MVs, which is often used as a metaphor to represent a woman -- possibly representing a connection to the heart of the Tree of Life from EXO's storyline -- in each of the MVs, as a way to connect all of SM's storylines together. For example, there is a white butterfly in NCT-127's "Favorite (Vampire)" MV from 2021, which is meant to represent the "vampire" woman that they are singing about, and it's even thought it could be connected to the white butterfly in SHINee's "Ring Ding Dong" MV from 2009. It also could be the white butterfly that helps aespa navigate through Kwangya in aespa's "aespa ep. 2 'Next Level' - SM Culture Universe" video in 2022, which would explain why we see a similar butterfly in all of SM's storylines. The butterfly appears to help everyone as they travel through Kwangya. (Everything SM does has to do with Kwangya -- even SM's new building where everything is created and produced is called Kwangya. Kwangya is the metaverse that all of SM's groups' and artists' concepts, and most of their MV storylines revolve around.) Therefore, the butterfly inkblot in "Tempo" could be used as a way to try and break the control the Red Force has over the EXO members and to remind them of the fact that they need to find their way out of the maze and to not forget what their mission is, etc. Halfway through the "Tempo" MV Chanyeol's eyes and hair change color, so some think that this is either showing two different versions of Chanyeol who appear in two different time periods or dimensions, or one is Chanyeol the EXO member and one is Chanyeol the X-EXO clone. Often, when we see a character in one of SM's MVs with blue eyes or different eye colors this usually means they are not who they appear to be. The silhouettes we see behind the lighted white wall or box also could be connected to the silhouettes we see in EXO's live remixed version of their song "Wolf" in concert. The silhouettes could represent the fact that EXO are battling with X-EXO for control. (And, now, it also could be connected to the silhouettes we see behind the white wall in SHINee's new "Hard" MV.) The "Chess game" is thought to be supernatural EXO chess, and I don't think it's a game they are playing, but I think maybe it's something they are using to try to decipher a clue or figure out a way out of wherever the Red Force has them trapped at the moment. It's unclear right now what that scene is really telling us, but I have a feeling, things will become clearer in the future as more of EXO's storyline is unveiled in future MVs and as SM's SM Culture Universe storyline continues to evolve. At one point we see them take those "chess" pieces and put them together to form a larger cube shape, which is thought could possibly be a model of the maze in which they are trapped in. And I think this also may be connected to the cube/labyrinth maze we see floating in the air in WayV's "Love Talk" MV in 2019 and the similar cube we see blocking aespa's way as they travel through Kwangya in aespa's ep. 2 video. And I think it might even be connected to the labyrinth cube we see SHINee's Key standing on top of in his solo "Gasoline" MV in 2022. (Baekhyun and Kai from EXO, Taemin from SHINee, Taeyong and Mark from NCT, Ten from WayV and Lucas who is now an SM solo artist, are all members of the Kpop supergroup SuperM, which I think is why SM is creating connections between all of their groups' storylines, because it's all part of the same story. Plus, everything aespa does is connected to the SM Culture Universe and is linked to EXO's/SuperM's storyline.) For example, in SuperM's "One (Monster & Infinity)" MV, we see the members using a map to navigate through what is thought could be the maze that the EXO members are trapped in, as SuperM is coming to rescue EXO from the Red Force's control. And it could even have something to do with the fact that we see in SHINee's new teaser video for their Hard album, that they are also trying to solve a maze, which -- because SHINee's Taemin is a member of SuperM -- could possibly be SHINee trying to help EXO as well. We also see EXO's Sehun (EXO's other main rapper) on the motorcycle in "Tempo", which I now think is connected to the scene where we see him driving a motorcycle in EXO's "Lightsaber" MV and sitting on the motorcycle in their "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV. In the very last scene in "Tempo", that is Baekhyun with that glass cube. I am not sure what that means, but I am sure it's foreshadowing something to come in the future with EXO's storyline, and it probably has something to do with the fact that Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in most of EXO's story. (We also see Chanyeol with a glass cube, similar to the one Baekhyun has, in their "Love Shot" MV.)
Tempo bridge is one of the greatest dopamine hits in kpop. Iconic! EXO is very hype and diverse. Don't get mislead. Some of the most spectacular vocals and performances.
I found K-pop about 2 years ago and always thought to myself that they really do love a switch up. There is so much talent in many of these groups. I'm excited to watch you discover them. Can't wait for Ateez Killing Voice's reaction, lol.
Thanks for the reaction ! I agree Tempo is quite nothing like Bambi… if you like rnb I thought songs like What if, playboy, love love love, Christmas Day or Lady Luck would be a better start with Exo. But I think they recommended Tempo to introduce you to Exo’s vocals. They’re known as vocals kings in Kpop and their harmonies are everything. I would also recommend watching their bsides medley live from their fanmeeting ! 😊
The label SM that they're from are really known for their vocalists so I get what you mean with the rapping lol. EXO has so many great vocalists as well as SHINee the group Taemin is from. I love hearing the different perspectives you guys bring in your reactions.
i think tempo is one of the best way to describe exo with one song, it demonstrate the skills they got, like accapella, rapid changes in tempo, low and high voices and the rap style, wich is more melodic and kinda of less aggressive; the coreography to it's hard, it hits every beat and, like the voice lines, the coreography too need to change pace with the changes in tempo during the song so it's hard in both ways vocally and phisically; but exo i think it's one of the most diverse k-pop group in terms ov genre, they have rock songs, pop song, rap songs, r&b songs and so on
i personally love this song because the harmonies and the vocals are STACKED. the bridge of this song is such a masterpiece and it made me love this song. i can see why people don't vibe with this song but i have never seen a reaction where someone didn't like the bridge lol. their vocal line is amazing and so proficient. baekhyun has my favorite vocal tone out of all of the groups/artists that i have listened to so i'm glad you are checking him and exo out. i would recommend more of his solo music if you love rnb. this song isn't necessarily rnb so you guys were kind of mis-led by people saying that. thanks for the reaction, can't wait for your future uploads.
That’s kpop not expecting another beat in a song! Which is why I loved the old kpop so much because they mixed up different styles and I thought it was so cool!
10 years i'm EXOL, you can trust me EXO rnb b sides EXO Let Me In EXO Sweet lies EXO No make up EXO Moonlight EXO 24/7 EXO D.O Tell me what is love (long version) (CHOOSE LYRICS CODES VIDEOS)
no, you need other songs from them. i'm not an exol (exo's fandom) but i do listen to their songs a lot. here's my personal recommendation : Growl, Call Me Baby, Love Me Right, Cream Soda Monster , Overdose, Lotto, Love Shot, Hear Me Out, Ko Ko Bop. exo is THE vocal king! i personally love Baekhyun & Chen voices. You my boys, gotta see their Dingo Killing Voice. you're going to understand why i said they're vocal king!
Exo is known in K-pop groups as “vocals kings and kings of K-pop” They debuted with 12 members but 3 of them left the group 11 years ago so now they have 9 members, and their discography is Unrivaled I recommend to you Love shot Monster Call me baby Kokobop Overdose Obsession Also in the future I would love to see more reactions to their live performances cus they're on another level and some of the solo songs Thx
exo killing voice gives you a good sample of many of their songs, can't endorse killing voice videos enough to get a feel for b-sides!! many artists have it, Taemin has one, so does ateez. They are also a good way to check out new artists if you see any thumbnails that match your vibe (ZICO!!!)
This song actually IS a representation of the group- they're a versatile, vocal heavy, genre mixing bunch, with harmonies reminiscent of a 90's boyband ala Boys2men. But oc if you're expecting straight, no frills rnb then this wouldnt be it. That would be a lot of their non title tracks like What If, What is Love, Let Me In, My Lady, etc
yesss that last part of the song is a masterpiece! for exo, I’d rec: let me in, hear me out, thunder, ya ya ya, groove. although I’d still have to recommend obsession and love shot as title tracks😊
If y’all want real exo rnb i recommend: Let me in Baby don’t cry Ya Ya Ya Play boy Thunder 24/7 Sweet lies Ooh la la la Heart attack (Ps :I love y’all’s reactions 😂❤)
Anyway, EXO is good at singing even under the worst conditions. They never waver. They never fail. Their live performance of "MAMA", "Monster" and "Wolf" at the Tokyo Dome was the best!
If you want R&B you should listen to Kyungsoo and Baekhyun's solo stuf (main vocals of EXO together with Chen, Chen does more balled) Tell me what is love by Kyungsoo What is love by Baekhyun and Kyungsoo
Try the MV "What is Love" by EXO-K, definitely R&B. Even the song "What if" by EXO, Another earlier R&B. One more the song "Moonlight" by EXO, all R&B. Some of my Favorites by EXO. ❤
If you want real R&B (not just a part of the song) I'm gonna recommend "EXO-What If". There is no MV for this one since it's a b-side, but you can react to a 'color coded video' because the lyrics are as great as the song. Thanks for reacting!!!!
Y’all their title tracks pm the ones with music videos, are almost never rnb or the vocal vibe, they like to go all out though. Some of my favorites are in their earlier albums so definitely check those out but not before you listen to “What if…” !!
Exo are legends, but I disagree that tempo is a RnB song but is a good song. If you guys want to listen songs from exo that have a RnB vibes, please react to: - sweet lies - what if - what is love - thunder - playboy - let me in - she's dreaming - wait - no makeup - my answer Thanks for react to Exo and sorry my english, I speak spanish 😅
This song has been my alarm for over 5 years lol With most groups in the K-pop industry, title tracks are the bait; the b-sides make you stay awhile. EXO has 90’s r&b on lock, but you do have to dig a little. On the album with Tempo is a straight classic r&b gem called 24/7. Hear Me Out from their last album is a fun and funky throwback. YaYaYa features a sample from SWV (with permission). What is Love & Call Me Baby we’re both produced by Teddy Riley. Just depends on where you wanna land. Enjoyed your reaction!.
I get why you might feel that about the rap they are from a company called sm which focus more on the vocals and Jenny (balck pink) is from yg which focus more on rap but of course both companys have good rappers and singers
But then Jenny isn’t a top tier rapper tho( I mean no hate). In that sense Chanyeol is clearly a better rapper. I think they just don’t understand the kpop concept, Like in kpop every song has rap verse but not necessarily every song is focused on that rap verses, or like group who do focused on rap than vocal and vice versa. EXO or SM groups also have songs with amazing rap parts but Tempo isn't a rap focused song.
I know sm has good rappers (for me i love mark's rap) that's why i said both companies have good rappers and singers but i just wanted to tell them that each company has it's on focus because it would take ages to explain kpop as a whole and for jenny i don't like her rap that much but she is a rapper
Ooof! This echo is your new enemy😂
Love you guys....obviously! Always gotta give my boys a hard time.
As im sure you have gathered from my comments on other videos, im diving down the Kpop rabbit hole with you guys so all of this is new to me and so far im not hating it. I was trying to figure out where the song took me at first and then KP said it. Bruno Mars. Which threw me off because you said R&B in the beginning. But we got there lol. This was a great one guys! As always much love 💜
Also: Siah why you always clownin? Got a damn boxing glove on saying its cold outside?! 🤦♀️😂💜
I’m so jealous….i wish i could hear a lot of these songs for the first time again 😭i hope you’ve found some songs you enjoy!
@mauraleekorrupt if I am being totally honest, im the same way with the artist Ren. Ren is why I started watching reaction channels. Its as close as I can get to experiencing his songs for the first time again. Its almost like living vicariously through the reactors, as crazy as that sounds lol. Once I latched on to some reactors I love watching ive started watching other artists they react to and it has definitely broadened my musical horizons and even changed my opinion on some artists I've known about but weren't fans of. I have definitely found some songs ive added to my Playlist during the Kpop journey TDIP has taken me on💜
People kinda mislead you here, EXO’s music is heavily inspired on R&B but their titel tracks are never 100% one genre, their B-sides though 👀 if you want their R&B you gotta look at their B-Sides
True! I agree. Most of the title tracks are utterly commercial, but they can saaaag those songs! And perform the hell out of them.
i agree. their b-sides are more r&b than the title tracks. i recommend Goodnight, Let Me In, Hear Me Out, They Never Know, What is Love, What If just to name a few.
kpop in a whole really isnt one Genre though
That's because they're always using r&b as a base, but they are always experimenting, also r&b has too much faces, just as Baekhyung said, r&b is veeeery versatile and they're just taking advantage of that ❤
It is a am style the company does that so fan buy the full album works bc the album sales are in million
I disagree with the comments recommending Tempo as a similar song to Bambi. If you want a slower more RnB type song from EXO, I highly recommend checking out Let Me In from their most recent album; it's definitely slower and more vocal heavy-ish.
exact!
up!
I would recommend Sweet Lies or What If or Stronger, or Day After Day, even Runaway
Really starting to think people don't know good rnb lol Cuz these recommendations for reactors without any regard for that channel's own tastes just have not been it.
@@passionable90Exactly like recommend bsides dude.
If you want r&b songs, then listen to EXO’s b-side songs.
“What is love?” by EXO-K (Baekhyun and D.O.)
“Let me in”
“Sweet lies”
“What if”
“Thunder”
“Playboy”
“Artificial love”
“No makeup”
“My turn to cry”
“Wait” pure vocals 😍
“My answer”
“Stronger”
“Ohh la la la”
“Tell me what is love” by D.O.
“Cry for love” and “All I got” by Baekhyun are r&b masterpieces 😍
Up
Up
UP
I agree. "What is Love?" And "Let me In" is a good introduction to their amazing vocals
Also, their song Ya Ya Ya
It's called Tempo and it's kpop, so the tempo keep on changing throughout the whole song.
a reactor that is a song writer said that the rhythm changes but the temple does not change even on the acapella part.
For a better EXO experience ,watch their killing voice .youll get to listen to some snippets of their songs .and discover their discography. They are hands down the vocal kings of kpop.
😊
Wanted to bump this comment
!!!!!
I have noticed that rappers don't really like EXO rapping style, but musicians love it.
I only love EXOs rapping style. They are the ones who caught my interest in rap, rock etc. I kicked rocks decades ago with the west due to the nature of its content.
Funny cuz i start to listen to RAP because of EXO haha
Which is funny cause I used to hate rap but Exo is the reason I started appreciating rapping a bit and even enjoy it now. I guess Exo's rapping is my style.
@@dohseyes5744 I agree with you . I love EXO rapping style. personally I don't like rap.
That sing song rap with exo's vocals is perfection.
TEMPO is actually one of the best K-pop song ever. After listening to tempo, agencies kept asking that producer to make their group sound like Exo.
Sweet Lies hits the R&B goodness you might be looking for, and the vocals will always be at 100% in EXO 🤗
That Acapella part is what made me a EXO fan! I love EXO songs but specially when I hear them singing at the live performances. Perfect vocals!!
EXO is an RnB vocal-based group, rap isn't their forte. In fact, EXO's main rapper Chanyeol is such a good singer that he would have easily been the main vocalist of another group, but this group already has too much vocal talent, so he mainly raps in a more singer-like cadence and then contributes to the vocals once in a while. While, Chen, Baekhyun, and DO are some of the greatest of all time vocalists of K-pop. I really want you to react to their songs Monster and Call Me Baby, but, EXO is the kind of group you need to watch live. I'd recommend you watch their accoustic live medley. It'll blow your mind how good they are!
Actually letmein showcased Chanyeol & Sehun technical rap ability off the beat. What they are not is angry copy/paste of us/uk rap. They integrate vocals & rap. So in tempo the rap backed by vocals under the instrumental.
U missed the “morning call, hand against the panel aka titanic & bed squeak throughout the song😂😂. That should tell u all about switching slow/fast tempo.
Acoustic live medley has What If at the end, so that's cool. But I'd suggest Mama Monster Wolf live first, actually, for existential power.
it is completely an opinion to say that rap isn't their forte just because these guys didn't like it. and they aren't a RnB group at all, what? they do all genres.
@@zeviolett How is that an opinion? Chanyeol is a good rapper, but, he's not appearing in any 'best rappers of Kpop' lists. And Sehun is a dance-visual member. He's not a competent rapper. Groups who are rap-focused like BTS, Stray Kidz, NCT, BigBang, XG, and BlackPink have multiple great rappers and the rapping sections are the highlight of their songs. For EXO, it's the high notes and runs. I'm not trying to put EXO down. I would say the same for all the groups with the best vocals like Mamamoo, Red Velvet, Girls' Gen, and Shinee. I mean, Moonbyul is a fantastic rapper, but, Mamamoo's forte is vocal performance. Also, EXO largely makes RnB music, just like how BTS is a hiphop-based group, despite having experimented with all kinds of genres.
fun fact: the bridge was spontaneously made by them because they were having fun at the studio, just harmonizing each other and turned out great, so they decided to add it to the song 💯
Wut?? Where did you get that infi is there a vid I wanna watch it!! 👁️👄👁️✋💜🙏
@@nikolechastre28xd65 One of the members mentioned it in his live feed or bubble. I think it was Baekhyun.
Okay, so right at the beginning when y’all said this was recommended to you if you liked R&B, I went ‘HUH??’ 😂 You were definitely misled on that.
As a long-time MAJOR fan of Exo, I agree that your assessments are very fair! Exo is a VOCAL HEAVY group - known as the vocal kings of kpop. They have great rap parts on some songs (I personally don’t think Tempo is one of those songs) and I could probably suggest a couple. It’s definitely a thing across kpop though that the companies are always wanting to squeeze rap verses in where they are absolutely not needed 🤦🏽♀
One thing that gets glossed over a lot is that the primary consumer base for kpop (especially domestically in korea) are not particularly r&b enjoyers, and it doesn’t align with the formula of how they promote on music shows. So even for groups who do a lot of r&b, the title tracks are usually more on the pop side. Now on the other hand, the b-side tracks are where you’ll find what your looking for, so I really hope y’all are cool with doing lyric videos and other performances that are in a non MV format.
Recs ⬇️
I stand 10 toes down on my Exo recommendations, so y’all can call me out if they fall flat! 😆
R&B b-sides
- Sweet Lies
- Ya ya ya (hip hop-leaning)
- Thunder
- Ooh La la la
Title Tracks that are a vibe (all have music vids)
- Monster
- Obsession (good rap verses)
- Love Shot
Baekhyun solos
- Cry For Love (b-side)
- UN Village (MV)
- All I Got (b-side)
Kai - Film Kai first
- Hmmm (MV)
- Peaches (MV)
- Amnesia (b-side)
A curious fact, TEMPO was called the Bohemian Rhapsody of kpop, due to its diversity of rhythms
the bohemian rhapsody of k-pop is i got a boy always have been
Unrelated to this song, but fun fact/info: The guy you paused on at 3:42 is actually JENNIE's ex-boyfriend, his name is KAI. lol
You should react to EXO's heavy RnB such as SWEET LIES, THUNDER, FALL, GOOD NIGHT, ETC. EXO IS RNB FOCUSED
Please react to EXO's Killing Voice next.

EXOの反応ありがとうございます。EXOはR&Bのお王者と言われています。それはBサイドに多くあり、EXOのBサイドはR&Bの宝庫です。お勧めは2023年フアンミーティングBサイドメドレー。EXOのライブの実力がわかりますよ。

Tempo is one of my favorite Exo songs. From the music video to the choreo to the style of clothing, it's everything Kpop embodies.
8:06 these are a vocal kings ladies and gentleman that acapella is just masterpiece next Exo song you must check are : Love shot,Call me baby,Love me right,Obsession,MAMA,Overdose and more
The way I gasped and clicked on this do fast lol. I love this song.
Every song of EXO is unique and one of a kind. However Tempo is not the pure R&B sound they are known for. Listen to “What is love” “Sweet lies” and “What if” to get what we are talking about when we say they are the R&B kings of k-pop.
Thank you for reacting to EXO! I grew up listening to RnB, Soul and Gospel. EXO brought me into K-pop. But they do a lot of genres and I love it all. They can saaaaang their butts off and keep seeing vocal coaches despite how good they already are. Their RnB is as polished as Motown, but their B-sides are more Stax Records. They got me with Cream Soda because the vocals reminded me of Prince. So for more RnB go for Hear Me Out, Cream Soda, their pre-debut What Is Love and Tell Me (What Is Love) definitely! Groove, Artificial Love and Day After Day are RnB chill. Sweet Lies, What If and White Noise. Boomerang reminds me of Rene and Angela. I get what you were saying about the Rap Line, but I love them. Their style reminds me of the jazzy old school rap like Digiable Planets before record companies started pushing gangsta rap. I love metal too. And they had me at Drop that and Chen's "Uprising." And other favorites Let Me In, Forever, Jekyll, Obsession (hard), and the classics Monster and Call Me Baby. Please react to any of these. Y'all are legit and I'm already subscribed. Thanks again!
Listen to EXO - monster
EXO - Obsession
EXO - Call Me Baby
EXO - Overdose
Kai - Mmmmh
I love Kai’s mmmmh so much
The song is called "Tempo" and the album is named Don't Mess Up My Tempo, so, the tempo is intentionally a prominent part of the song. I think the tempo is also supposed to mirror the uncertainty and unsteadiness that EXO are feeling within the storyline in the MV and be the driving force spurring them on in the story.
However, if we read the lyrics, we see that in the song they are talking to a girl and they are telling her, "Don't mess up my tempo." And yes, part of the tempo in the song is created by the squeak of what is thought to be bed springs. (The underlying theme of the song is a tongue and cheek reference to sexual innuendo.) On the surface, the song and MV is meant to be enjoyed by the casual watcher and listener like you would any song on the radio, but if you want to delve in deeper and explore EXO's storyline, then there is so much more going on.
As an SM Entertainment group, it shouldn't be a surprise that EXO are amazing vocalists -- hence the acapella part in the song -- that's why they are nicknamed "the vocal kings of Kpop." SM Entertainment is literally known as the vocal powerhouse of the industry. All of SM's artists are amazing singers, even the company's rappers. Fun fact: There wasn't supposed to be an acapella section in the song. The members were just messing around in the recording studio riffing with each other and the sound engineer loved it so much that they decided to put it in the song.
"Tempo" came out in 2018, so there are 9 members in this MV. (Only 8 members are in the group scenes.) This is special because it's the first time we have seen Lay, EXO's Chinese member, participate in anything with EXO since 2016 and you won't see him again in another EXO project until their "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV in 2021. However, although Lay was in this MV, we won't see or hear him sing or dance because you watched the Korean version, and at this time, because of the political issues between China and Korea, the Chinese government only gave him permission to appear in the Korean version, but he wasn't allowed to participate in the song. If you want to hear Lay sing you will have to watch the Mandarin version.
To understand the choices being made in this song and the story in the MV, you have to be aware that everything EXO is involved in, and I literally mean almost everything, is connected in some way to their concept and storyline. EXO's MVs are kind of like a movie -- it's a movie that has been going on for the past 12+ years -- since pre-debut -- and it has no sign of coming to an end any time soon.
The aesthetic of the "Tempo" MV is centered around the color red because the setting is supposed to be depicting the members under the Red Forces' control. Without going into too much detail -- there is so much going on in EXO's "Tempo" MV that it's hard to grasp it all -- what fan theories think is happening in "Tempo" is it's showing the members of EXO all trapped in separate dimensions. Each of those rooms, could possibly be a different dimension and that is why we see the glitches and why we hear Xiumin and Baekhyun with that computerized voice, because they aren't all in the same place at the same time, so their voices are being distorted as they try to connect between dimensions, etc.
They also still could be trapped in different rooms within the maze, like what we see them in their "Overdose" MVs. For several of EXO's MVs we believe they are still trapped within the maze and they are continuously trying to find their way out. The maze seems to affect their connection to their powers and it clouds their minds and dulls their senses, so not only are they fighting the Red Force and X-EXO, but they are also struggling to break free from the fog the Red Force has them in. That's why we see some of the members just lazily sitting around and kind of blankly staring off into space at times.
Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in the MV and he is the one standing above everything looking down, so this is one example of where we think that maybe he is the only one who has avoided the Red Force's control and he is observing everything that is going on from the outside.
We see Chanyeol (one of the main rappers) being interrogated by Chen with the inkblot test and that is thought to be the members trying to figure out who are the real EXO members and who are the evil X-EXO members created by the Red Force -- or who are the real members and who are the clones. At this point everyone is suspicious of each other and no one can be trusted.
Also notice how the inkblot looks like it's shaped like a butterfly. The butterfly is an important part of SM's SM Culture Universe storyline. We see a butterfly in EXO's debut "Mama" MVs in 2012, which is thought to be connected to the colorful butterfly that is Ningning's symbol in aespa's story, so we see it all the time in aespa's MVs starting in 2020 as Ningning navigates through the digital world. We also see a butterfly appear in several of SM's other groups' MVs, which is often used as a metaphor to represent a woman -- possibly representing a connection to the heart of the Tree of Life from EXO's storyline -- in each of the MVs, as a way to connect all of SM's storylines together. For example, there is a white butterfly in NCT-127's "Favorite (Vampire)" MV from 2021, which is meant to represent the "vampire" woman that they are singing about, and it's even thought it could be connected to the white butterfly in SHINee's "Ring Ding Dong" MV from 2009. It also could be the white butterfly that helps aespa navigate through Kwangya in aespa's "aespa ep. 2 'Next Level' - SM Culture Universe" video in 2022, which would explain why we see a similar butterfly in all of SM's storylines. The butterfly appears to help everyone as they travel through Kwangya. (Everything SM does has to do with Kwangya -- even SM's new building where everything is created and produced is called Kwangya. Kwangya is the metaverse that all of SM's groups' and artists' concepts, and most of their MV storylines revolve around.)
Therefore, the butterfly inkblot in "Tempo" could be used as a way to try and break the control the Red Force has over the EXO members and to remind them of the fact that they need to find their way out of the maze and to not forget what their mission is, etc.
Halfway through the "Tempo" MV Chanyeol's eyes and hair change color, so some think that this is either showing two different versions of Chanyeol who appear in two different time periods or dimensions, or one is Chanyeol the EXO member and one is Chanyeol the X-EXO clone. Often, when we see a character in one of SM's MVs with blue eyes or different eye colors this usually means they are not who they appear to be.
The silhouettes we see behind the lighted white wall or box also could be connected to the silhouettes we see in EXO's live remixed version of their song "Wolf" in concert. The silhouettes could represent the fact that EXO are battling with X-EXO for control. (And, now, it also could be connected to the silhouettes we see behind the white wall in SHINee's new "Hard" MV.)
The "Chess game" is thought to be supernatural EXO chess, and I don't think it's a game they are playing, but I think maybe it's something they are using to try to decipher a clue or figure out a way out of wherever the Red Force has them trapped at the moment. It's unclear right now what that scene is really telling us, but I have a feeling, things will become clearer in the future as more of EXO's storyline is unveiled in future MVs and as SM's SM Culture Universe storyline continues to evolve.
At one point we see them take those "chess" pieces and put them together to form a larger cube shape, which is thought could possibly be a model of the maze in which they are trapped in. And I think this also may be connected to the cube/labyrinth maze we see floating in the air in WayV's "Love Talk" MV in 2019 and the similar cube we see blocking aespa's way as they travel through Kwangya in aespa's ep. 2 video. And I think it might even be connected to the labyrinth cube we see SHINee's Key standing on top of in his solo "Gasoline" MV in 2022. (Baekhyun and Kai from EXO, Taemin from SHINee, Taeyong and Mark from NCT, Ten from WayV and Lucas who is now an SM solo artist, are all members of the Kpop supergroup SuperM, which I think is why SM is creating connections between all of their groups' storylines, because it's all part of the same story. Plus, everything aespa does is connected to the SM Culture Universe and is linked to EXO's/SuperM's storyline.)
For example, in SuperM's "One (Monster & Infinity)" MV, we see the members using a map to navigate through what is thought could be the maze that the EXO members are trapped in, as SuperM is coming to rescue EXO from the Red Force's control. And it could even have something to do with the fact that we see in SHINee's new teaser video for their Hard album, that they are also trying to solve a maze, which -- because SHINee's Taemin is a member of SuperM -- could possibly be SHINee trying to help EXO as well.
We also see EXO's Sehun (EXO's other main rapper) on the motorcycle in "Tempo", which I now think is connected to the scene where we see him driving a motorcycle in EXO's "Lightsaber" MV and sitting on the motorcycle in their "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV.
In the very last scene in "Tempo", that is Baekhyun with that glass cube. I am not sure what that means, but I am sure it's foreshadowing something to come in the future with EXO's storyline, and it probably has something to do with the fact that Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in most of EXO's story. (We also see Chanyeol with a glass cube, similar to the one Baekhyun has, in their "Love Shot" MV.)
If you want to see EXO's rap line popping off, I highly suggest Obsession and Monster.
Tempo is exactly as the title states. It’s very melodic and the tempo changes. I love how the showcase their vocals as usual ❤
Tempo bridge is one of the greatest dopamine hits in kpop. Iconic! EXO is very hype and diverse. Don't get mislead. Some of the most spectacular vocals and performances.
Exo kings the kpop❤
Oh my god exoooooooooo
Yes yes i know...these boys always blow our mind sooo welcome to ary(exo fans) life.
I found K-pop about 2 years ago and always thought to myself that they really do love a switch up. There is so much talent in many of these groups. I'm excited to watch you discover them. Can't wait for Ateez Killing Voice's reaction, lol.
As an ATINY, they'll definitely have to brace themselves for ATEEZ's killing voice
@Mars0_3 they can do it, lolol. I have faith!
Their EXIST album is just pure GOLD from the past ❤
There's also another song in that album with acapella, can't remember the name though.
You have to watch the killing voice for EXO it’s amazing
Thanks for the reaction ! I agree Tempo is quite nothing like Bambi… if you like rnb I thought songs like What if, playboy, love love love, Christmas Day or Lady Luck would be a better start with Exo. But I think they recommended Tempo to introduce you to Exo’s vocals. They’re known as vocals kings in Kpop and their harmonies are everything.
I would also recommend watching their bsides medley live from their fanmeeting ! 😊
The label SM that they're from are really known for their vocalists so I get what you mean with the rapping lol. EXO has so many great vocalists as well as SHINee the group Taemin is from. I love hearing the different perspectives you guys bring in your reactions.
i think tempo is one of the best way to describe exo with one song, it demonstrate the skills they got, like accapella, rapid changes in tempo, low and high voices and the rap style, wich is more melodic and kinda of less aggressive; the coreography to it's hard, it hits every beat and, like the voice lines, the coreography too need to change pace with the changes in tempo during the song so it's hard in both ways vocally and phisically; but exo i think it's one of the most diverse k-pop group in terms ov genre, they have rock songs, pop song, rap songs, r&b songs and so on
Listen to more Exo, they have bopppssss.
Oooo myyy goddddd exooooo is the best....thanks alot for the reacting.
Teddy Riley (one of Michael Jackson producer) produced EXO’S “Call me baby” I recommend you listen to it
You might be like Call Me Baby bro
Highly suggest watching Exo's killing voice video 🤭
i personally love this song because the harmonies and the vocals are STACKED. the bridge of this song is such a masterpiece and it made me love this song. i can see why people don't vibe with this song but i have never seen a reaction where someone didn't like the bridge lol. their vocal line is amazing and so proficient. baekhyun has my favorite vocal tone out of all of the groups/artists that i have listened to so i'm glad you are checking him and exo out. i would recommend more of his solo music if you love rnb. this song isn't necessarily rnb so you guys were kind of mis-led by people saying that. thanks for the reaction, can't wait for your future uploads.
thank youu
these are the kings of vocals. I hope you see more of exo.
I recommend listening Monster and Obsession
For me personally, their winter special albums will always be my favorite. "Sing for You" still gets me in my feels every time I hear it.
EXO Group has beautiful voice 👍👑
Реакция на EXO, пожалуй лучшее начало этого года)
That’s kpop not expecting another beat in a song! Which is why I loved the old kpop so much because they mixed up different styles and I thought it was so cool!
10 years i'm EXOL, you can trust me
EXO rnb b sides
EXO Let Me In
EXO Sweet lies

Obsession album deserve to check out
vocal legends are coming back september 2025 ! 🌟
no, you need other songs from them. i'm not an exol (exo's fandom) but i do listen to their songs a lot. here's my personal recommendation : Growl, Call Me Baby, Love Me Right, Cream Soda Monster , Overdose, Lotto, Love Shot, Hear Me Out, Ko Ko Bop.
exo is THE vocal king! i personally love Baekhyun & Chen voices. You my boys, gotta see their Dingo Killing Voice. you're going to understand why i said they're vocal king!
My dear Exols if anyone likes rnb pls recommend SWEET LIES. Thats epitome of Exo rnb.
EXO - Let me in
Exo is known in K-pop groups as “vocals kings and kings of K-pop”
They debuted with 12 members but 3 of them left the group 11 years ago so now they have 9 members, and their discography is Unrivaled
I recommend to you
Love shot
Monster
Call me baby
Kokobop
Overdose
Obsession
Also in the future I would love to see more reactions to their live performances cus they're on another level and some of the solo songs
Thx
Plz more EXO Reaction
exo killing voice gives you a good sample of many of their songs, can't endorse killing voice videos enough to get a feel for b-sides!! many artists have it, Taemin has one, so does ateez. They are also a good way to check out new artists if you see any thumbnails that match your vibe (ZICO!!!)
哇塞 博主有品位 EXO是我读书时期开始追的男团❤他们团所有的歌都非常好听 这是我的青春❤
They are known as the "vocal kings"of kpop
This song actually IS a representation of the group- they're a versatile, vocal heavy, genre mixing bunch, with harmonies reminiscent of a 90's boyband ala Boys2men.
But oc if you're expecting straight, no frills rnb then this wouldnt be it. That would be a lot of their non title tracks like What If, What is Love, Let Me In, My Lady, etc
we need more exo reactions!
You guys should listen to their song "Sweet lies"
EXO B-sides!! 🔥
yesss that last part of the song is a masterpiece! for exo, I’d rec: let me in, hear me out, thunder, ya ya ya, groove. although I’d still have to recommend obsession and love shot as title tracks😊
If y’all want real exo rnb i recommend:
Let me in
Baby don’t cry
Ya Ya Ya
Play boy
Thunder
24/7
Sweet lies
Ooh la la la
Heart attack
(Ps :I love y’all’s reactions 😂❤)
real vocal kings ❤️🔥
REACTION TO THE EXO VIDEO "EXO REALLY SAID: NO MIC? NO PROBLEM!!!!!!" EXO VOCALS
vocal kings - exo (cream soda mv + dance practice)
vocal queens - red velvet (killing voice; psycho, cosmic, automatic, one of these night)
+ taemin - advice, heaven-live performance
if you want crazy harmonies you need to watch some MAMAMOO. They are the queens when it comes to harmonies. Hands down.
😊😊 I just recommended Mamamoo as well. They truly are under appreciated.
I recommend Let Me In by them. THAT'S a solid rnb song.
Anyway, EXO is good at singing even under the worst conditions. They never waver. They never fail. Their live performance of "MAMA", "Monster" and "Wolf" at the Tokyo Dome was the best!
Now we need to get them in to killing voice 😂🎉 så they can watch some of this groups 🎉🎉😊
If you want R&B you should listen to Kyungsoo and Baekhyun's solo stuf (main vocals of EXO together with Chen, Chen does more balled)
Tell me what is love by Kyungsoo
What is love by Baekhyun and Kyungsoo
You have to watch Obession by EXO and MMMMH by Kia
KAI😊
Exo acoustic
Try the MV "What is Love" by EXO-K, definitely R&B. Even the song "What if" by EXO, Another earlier R&B. One more the song "Moonlight" by EXO, all R&B. Some of my Favorites by EXO. ❤
ong gurll you mentioned my top3 exo songs. i wish they reacted to these songs.
@@sookyoong I've been a fan for years! Let's hope they react. 😊
YES MORE EXO REACT TO THEIR KILLING VOICE NEXT PLS
Just listen the Exo bsides you gonna love it
finally Exo🎉
Exo king vocal of kpop
If you want real R&B (not just a part of the song) I'm gonna recommend "EXO-What If". There is no MV for this one since it's a b-side, but you can react to a 'color coded video' because the lyrics are as great as the song. Thanks for reacting!!!!
I recommend cream soda by EXO! 😂
Yes Emperor of Kpop EXO ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mahalo for reacting to EXO….love the reaction u guys😁😁😁😁
Y’all their title tracks pm the ones with music videos, are almost never rnb or the vocal vibe, they like to go all out though. Some of my favorites are in their earlier albums so definitely check those out but not before you listen to “What if…” !!
Exo are legends, but I disagree that tempo is a RnB song but is a good song. If you guys want to listen songs from exo that have a RnB vibes, please react to:
- sweet lies
- what if
- what is love
- thunder
- playboy
- let me in
- she's dreaming
- wait
- no makeup
- my answer
Thanks for react to Exo and sorry my english, I speak spanish 😅
Obsession next
reaction to EXO Killing Voice guys!
This song has been my alarm for over 5 years lol With most groups in the K-pop industry, title tracks are the bait; the b-sides make you stay awhile. EXO has 90’s r&b on lock, but you do have to dig a little. On the album with Tempo is a straight classic r&b gem called 24/7. Hear Me Out from their last album is a fun and funky throwback. YaYaYa features a sample from SWV (with permission). What is Love & Call Me Baby we’re both produced by Teddy Riley. Just depends on where you wanna land. Enjoyed your reaction!.
MORE EXO PLEASE!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Loveeee Tempoooo ✨️🥂
Exo Monster
VOCAL KINGS OF KPOP 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I get why you might feel that about the rap they are from a company called sm which focus more on the vocals and Jenny (balck pink) is from yg which focus more on rap but of course both companys have good rappers and singers
But then Jenny isn’t a top tier rapper tho( I mean no hate). In that sense Chanyeol is clearly a better rapper. I think they just don’t understand the kpop concept, Like in kpop every song has rap verse but not necessarily every song is focused on that rap verses, or like group who do focused on rap than vocal and vice versa. EXO or SM groups also have songs with amazing rap parts but Tempo isn't a rap focused song.
I know sm has good rappers (for me i love mark's rap) that's why i said both companies have good rappers and singers but i just wanted to tell them that each company has it's on focus because it would take ages to explain kpop as a whole and for jenny i don't like her rap that much but she is a rapper
