I need to leave the comment here first and will be back after i watched this video
Thanks for the reaction
Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
So what do you think Sarabi? Please put the concept aside so as not to cloud your perception of these 9 fine men...being older now, grown ass men, the concept has been downplayed significantly, but is not gone. There are ACTUAL people who make it their mission to decypher everything with theories and connections. My brain gave that up in 2016...as they grew older, and matured beautifully, the concept and storyline (except solidly knowing their powers) just fell to the side, as wanting to enjoy their vocals and harmonies. With the exception of Sehun, all other 8 members have put out solo music, and sub-unit music over the years, and that's beside Exo group music...each of them with their own sound and style, vastly different from each other, but beautiful regardless. And being actors and models for years, they have been very busy for 10 + years, and my own YT feed features even today constant ads for products and constant magazine covers....Baekhyun, Chanyeol and D.O. have multiple photoshoots just this week....many throughout the year, and it's killing me! They all take such good care of their skin it's just flawless for men in their early 30's.
I have been an Exol since 2011 when they were babies, before the fandom was even given the name EXO-L.
I've watched them grow up in front of the cameras, and have watched their close knit bond over the years...they definitely have a solid friendship and brotherhood...I mean they are cherished uncles to Chen's 2 kids!
I adore how they have matured over the years,
and today are seasoned performers, group-wise and solo-wise....they have performed around the world and the States, and have a massive worldwide fanbase...because of their vocals. As a slightly older generation group from the younger fast rap fast dance groups of today's music scene, Exo has left their mark on the Kpop industry very early on....and considered one of the most affluent male kpop groups of today.
With their exposure to the public on every forum, they have become a household name. Therefore they are considered legends. Exo came first....and many trends followed because of them. But the vocals, especially their r&b, old school easy listening music...is something no one does anymore. So many gravitate to their good feel retro sound when the crazy current trends get to be overwhelming....yep, Exo will always be my home. 💙🌺
So far from what I have seen they are exceptionally talented. I am so happy to have found their music. Their vocals are soothing and beyond beautiful. Recently went and followed their IGs and the photoshoots are soooooooooo ughhhhh 😳 I can't wait to continue delving into all their music!
As for the storyline I might be on the same train as you! It is definitely an interesting concept but I feel like I might lose myself in it - but for sure I will try to at least get the basics of it down😅
I think it depends on individuals about their interest in their storyline. Personally I'm obsessed with Exo's storyline and concept, in each comeback 😂
1:03:23 honestly it was easy for me to remember their powers since each power symbolize each member so well.
Like Chen's voice is as powerful as lightening, Chanyeol is as passionate (for music) and feiry (for competition) like fire, Xiumin has spikey hairs like ice and also his vampiristic looks just like cold so his power is frost, D.O. is really hard as a rock (earth/force), Lay is always there for his members in times of crises like a healer, Suho's personality and voice are as calm as water, Sehun's personality is unpredictable just like wind, Kai really attracts everything & everywhere at all stages so teleportation.
You'll get it once you learn their personalities through individual guides.
50:09 same reaction when i see the clothes and bags from the kai and gucci collaboration，kai made me love bears😭 I have never think a teddy bear is cute in the first 20 years of my life.
Came across to your exo reactions on youtube recently and was binge watching them nonstop and today earlier, before going to university I saw you dropped another exo reaction, this time you reacting to probably best exo guide by pastel cookies! and got so excited, now I'm home, relaxed and ready to watch comfortably on my bed with cookies and hot tea 😅❤
Hehe Thank you for watching!! ❤️❤️
I simply loved the reactions. ❤
Mee too!
The fact that Chen is married with children -- he has 2 little girls now -- and still a member of an idol group doesn't sit well with a lot of fringe fans. When it comes to the Korean public there are different standards for what it means to be an idol. Therefore, he and his family have gotten a lot of backlash from anti-fans in the past. The group has been boycotted and some people have even demanded that he be kicked out of the group. That's why, you hardly ever see anything about his private life mentioned anywhere. However, being married as an idol is generally looked at favorably by most international fans.
Hope your enjoy to deep dive to more EXO 😍
Unfortunately, the political climate between Korea and China was only a little better for a short time. However, since this guide was made, China's Idol culture has become even more restrictive after the election of their new president. Plus, Lay left SM Entertainment in 2022 -- when his contract was up after 10 years -- but he has made it clear that he hasn't left EXO. Case in point, he recently his solo comeback with his song "Psychic" and he has even promoted a Korean version of the song on music shows in Korea and he also just was in Korea for his concert tour. In order to avoid any conflict between China and Korea, his album is an All-English album, just like most of his solo releases when he was under SM. Although there are still several obstacles in his way to being able to work with EXO.
Lay is a megastar in China, literally one of the biggest celebrities in China today. The reason why he is so big in China now, I think is essentially a product of the fact that he could no longer promote with EXO. He first started to do some solo work in China while he was still promoting with EXO, but at that time he was mostly famous in China because of EXO. When the political tensions between Korea and China ramped up, he decided that if he wanted to continue his career, he needed to really focus everything he had in China. That's when he started to establish himself as a solo artist in China and to begin to build his career as a producer, singer, dancer, actor, model and all-around entertainer.
You should check out Lay's official lyric video for his song "Jiu," a song on his East album, which was released after he announced his departure from SM. This song is evidence that he has not left EXO and that he still considers himself part of the group, as every word of the song is a tribute to EXO. I have also read that on Webo (the Chinese internet server) he mentioned how he was working out a deal with SM that could possibly allow him to still continue to do projects with EXO in the future. (I mean it's possible, afterall that's essentially the deal that Baekhyun, Xiumin, Chen and D.O. have. They have moved their solo promotions to other companies, but they still participate in things with EXO, which is under SM. Lay probably just has a few more stipulations than the other member.) I mean, SM has been supporting Lay in everything he has been doing so far, including endorsing him when he started his idol trainee company Chromosome in China. And I don't think there is any bad blood or uneasy feelings between Lay and SM, so anything is possible.
As mentioned, Lay's hiatus from EXO is not something he has chosen, but it's something that has sort of been forced upon him by the government.
When China first began cracking down on their citizens working in Korea around 2016 -- as a political protest over South Korea's alignment with the U.S. and China's support of North Korea, etc. -- there were rumors that the Chinese government was threatening to revoke the citizenship of any mainland native Chinese person who continued to do business with a Korean company and lived outside of China. This rule would have prevented Idols, such as Lay, from visiting family and doing business in China, etc. The only way for them to avoid this from happening was for them to come back to China right away and stop doing business with their Korean companies. I don't know if this was really true or if it was just a rumor, but that is what I heard. Which would explain why some Chinese Idols don't feel any pressure to stop working in Korea because they have nothing to lose if they don't have family or a life in China or they aren't mainland Chinese citizens, etc.
Yes, there are lots of Chinese Idols still working in Korea. However, these idols don't have the connections to the Chinese government the way Lay and other idols do. Many of those Chinese idols' careers don't depend on being able to promote or live in China and many Chinese idols don't have close family living in mainland China or they are not from mainland China, which is why they have more immunity from the restrictions placed on Chinese citizens. For example, NCT-Dream's Chinese members don't work very much in China and most of WayV's members are not from mainland China. That is also why SM has created Label V in order to make it possible for WayV to release music in China and its why WayV distances themselves from NCT whenever they promote in China.
Lay's whole career is tied to being able to work and live in China and he is closely connected to the Chinese government as an ambassador of youth, so he has to tread lightly when it comes to how he conducts himself and who he chooses to associate with, etc. He can't afford to be blacklisted in the Chinese entertainment industry. For a long time, Lay was even discouraged from mentioning EXO by name in TV shows and interviews, but he always finds subtle ways to make it clear that being a member of EXO, and his EXO brothers, are always very important to him.
We finally got to see Lay in an EXO project in 2021 -- the first time since 2016 (besides his brief solo appearance in EXO's "Tempo" MVs in 2018) -- with EXO's "Don't Fight The Feeling" MV, but he really didn't get to work with EXO because of the pandemic, etc. Everything he did for that MV was done remotely and independently and inserted into the song and MV.
Lay started out learning how to dance as a trainee when he signed with SM at the age of about 17. According to him, at that time he wasn't a very good dancer and it took him a lot of hard work and time to get to the level that he's at today. Now he has become one of the BEST dancers in China that EVERYONE looks up to.
Currently his favorite style of dance that he has been focusing a lot of his training on is Krump. Lay is regarded as an industry expert that pretty much all other dancers and musicians look up to -- he has even been credited with making Krump a mainstream dance style in China, and he is one of China's leading experts when it comes to Krump.
However, he started out by learning popping and locking as a trainee with SM.
Because of Lay's drive to constantly be learning new things, he is always striving to learn as much as possible and to be as diverse as possible about all styles of dance and cultures. Lay is such a good dancer because he literally is in the dance studio practicing for 6 hours EVERYDAY. (In an episode of Street Dance of China 4 in 2021, he specifically said "I practice for 6 hours every day." And he meant he does it regardless, no matter how busy he is or what he has going on. He even finds time to practice during filming for reality shows that have nothing to do with dance.) I have seen in a documentary where he starts his day around 4 a.m., he gets done with his schedule of events around 9 p.m. and then he spends from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. in the dance studio with his dance mentor dancing.
That's also why he was given the title of the nation's producer by the Chinese government, and why he has been a mentor/dance instructor and main PD for several Idol trainee survival competition shows in China. (These are programs similar to American Idol, where trainees compete to be chosen to become members of a new idol group.) He is pretty much considered an expert when it comes to dance and performance, and he is beginning to gain the respect of songwriters, composers and music producers from all over the world. He is who everyone, especially in China, looks to as an example of what it takes to be an Idol. He is literally considered one of the most successful celebrities in China.
9:07 the Exoverse is really vast and that's not even everything. Once you realize ehat Kwangya is, you'll faint.
I would really recommend theor individual guides by Caesar Oh.
