Fun fact: One of the reasons why "Rover" was chosen for Kai's title song is because the concept of the song and MV was designed with Kai's storyline in mind. To understand why Kai is Mr. Rover, you have to remember that everything the EXO members do is usually connected to EXO's storyline and concept. Kai's superpower in EXO is the ability to teleport, which is why in the "Rover" MV we see him blink in and out of scenes and at the end he disappears as he dives off the stage, etc. The MV is literally showing how he is Mr. Rover -- a rover is someone who roams, travels, wanders all over the place. Kim JongIn was given the stage name Kai because it means opening in Chinese and he is supposed to be the one who opens the doors and travels between time and space and dimensions, etc. to connect all the EXO members together. In the "Rover" MV we also see him taking on different identities. It depicts the different identities or sides of his personality -- Kai the sexy, over confident on stage personality -- powerful hip-hop dancer -- or Kim JongIn the elegant, ballet dancer, etc. Also as a member of EXO, as part of their storyline, it is thought that the EXO members are supposed to be going about their tasks incognito, which means that in order to keep a low profile Kai probably needs to take on many different identities as he travels across time and space, through different points in history or to different dimensions, etc. Also if you pay attention to some of the names he chooses for his aliases in this MV, one of the names is Elliot Billy, which is pretty clearly a reference to the well known ballet movie Billy Elliot, which Kai has said influenced his love of ballet. And of course, the red light is most likely supposed to represent something to do with the Red Force. Therefore, it is thought either, Kai is being controlled by the Red Force in those scenes, or maybe this whole MV is depicting X-EXO Kai, which is Kai's alter ego clone that has been created by the Red Force. Yet again, just another example of how EXO's and SM's Universe is extremely complicated and complex. The thing is, none of us really know exactly what is happening in the story, it's all just fan theories and educated guesses. SM has never confirmed or denied any of our theories and they have left it completely up to fans to figure out what is happening and to create the story. (We only hope that someday SM will release the book or produce a movie that will explain the whole story, so we will know whether any part of our theories were correct.) "Rover" is the title track on Kai's third mini album. There are 6 songs on this album. Kai's "Rover" is actually a remix and I think the style can be considered reggaeton based, which is a music genre with reggae and Puerto Rican/Latin influences. If you like Kai's dancing you have to check out a live performance of "Rover," such as his Studio Choom appearance. You are going to be even more blown away when you see the full choreography. As the main dancer of EXO, Kai is literally one of the top two best dancers in Kpop. And that's not just a fan's opinion, but it's a title given to him by his peers and the the industry as a whole. (As you know, Taemin from SHINee -- who happens to be Kai's best friend since trainee days, and is a fellow member of SuperM -- is the other top dancer.) There is literally no one better when it comes to dance than Kai and Taemin. Kai's love for dance started with jazz and ballet. From a young age, he began training to become a ballet dancer. So he learned form and technique first before any other style of dance. That's why I think you can see such precision in his dancing. As a child, he fell in love with dancing after seeing the Nutcracker and he told his parents that he wanted to do that. So, his whole foundation with dance began with ballet. He says, that if he hadn't been bribed by his father to audition for SM Entertainment, and if he hadn't become a Kpop star, he probably would be a professional ballarino today. Kai became a trainee with SM when he was about 12 -- he debuted as a member of EXO when he was around 18 -- so he has been honing his skills and dedicating himself to become one of the best in the industry for years. And now, at 29, he has literally been recognized as one of the best of the best. Kai is a fashion icon and he is highly sought after by some of he biggest names and brands in fashion to be their model and brand ambassador, etc. Kai had a hand in styling this whole MV. Therefore, I'm sure that everything he wore was expertly selected from some of the top fashion brands. And the MV was specifically styled to represent his designer model status. As you can see, he is also considered one of the sexiest Kpop idols, and he is known for his super sexy onstage personality, which is why you often see him shirtless or wearing crop tops when he is performing. However, if you really get to know him, you will see that when not on stage he is almost the complete opposite of what you see here.
Thank you for reacting to Onew's circle! The cat puppet actually was thrown in by the music video director, as he had lost his cat of 15 years and felt the message of the song reflected the happy memories he had with his cat and how it outweighed the sadness of the bad moments. I feel like the message of this song is that life continues to go on through the good and the bad, and that everyone on Earth experiences similar things which doesn't make us alone in those experiences. It's a very comforting song. The scene where he is in a tunnel is referring to his previous song made for fans "In the whale" which is similar to Jonah and the whale story. Also, I feel like the children's show scene is referencing the Truman show with the ladder in the back leading out of a fake "utopian" world of childhood. When you are young and do not realize that there is something more beyond your current environment, and are limited in life experience. I hope this helps!
I would add about the "puppet kitty thing" that it looks weary. They say cats have 9 lives. So the "8 stories about eternity" feels to me like the cat has lived 8 of its 9 lives, thus why it looks that way. To emphasize that life is a series of events that we go through regardless of the changing seasons and time. And "the last episode" might indicate that the cat is living (or has lived, if we put in context the director's cat) its last life. That's my take about it. Don't know if others agree with it. 😊
In one of Onew's behind the scenes videos he explained his "O(Circle)" MV is depicting the different stages of a person's heart. The "Children's Park" -- or, as I like to think of it, the set of a children's TV show -- is supposed to represent the happy, playful child's heart. The peach tent area that we see him sitting in is supposed to represent the inside of a whale's stomach, depicting the story of his previous B-side song "In The Whale," which is a song he wrote for Shawols and is on his previous Dice album. And the dark grey set is supposed to be a mature adult's heart, depicting what a person has to go through in order to reach adulthood, etc.
Onew's entire album Circle is a nonskip masterpiece from beggining to end, I recommend you guys listen to it all, even if it's on your own time! It's truly worth listening to. There's a scene in the MV where he is inside this peach color cloth, it's supposed to symbolize his song 'In the Whale' from his previous album, which he wrote for shawols, it talks about how we've been with him even when he is going through dark places, this whole MV is full of meaning, it's beautiful.
I just find it sooooo funny and entertaining whenever, and whoever react to Kai, ppl become very defensive and like always say stop, no, how dare you, sir...etc lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 thanks for reacting to Kai's Rover. Rest of EXO members are also good boys- do get to know them!
Onew's Circle has been explained pretty well in comments before mine. I've seen discussions about whether the cat was the director's or if he read about it. Yes, you understand the basics of Circle, it's about the circle of life, Onew said we go through ups and downs, the emotions will fade, but we can look back with hope. He said the attic represents an abyss of the heart, with the dark and gloomy emotions and the park represents a child's heart and to find that child like innocence. This is from his "making of" videos. You did get the main points of the symbolism. The MV also has objects for each member, but no spoilers, unless you want to know😉. Some are easy to connect, others you need to know SHINee's history.
Onew talks about the meaning behind the MV and his thought process in a behind the scenes video posted on SHINee's channel. I thought the cat was very cute. A lot of SHINee's MVs are full of symbolism and hidden meanings.
You should watch every performance of Onews Circle, because with each outfit he expresses a different emotion and its sooooo good! No need to react but you should really watch it ^^ He is capable of SO MUCH. Also please listen to the whole album. Its really SO GOOD.
Kai Onew and J Hope each released a great song and music video with some amazing transitions and scene changes that you're really liking especially when you're looking at the camera movements and rotation
Glad you survived the viewings, barely that is. I didn't see all of On The Street until today. I'm glad you interpreted the probable meanings in the MV and it's lovely. I admit that I'm not a big fan of rap, but these 2 "J's" might help change my mind. I haven't listened to JHope since last year so time to remedy that. Kai about killed you both didn't he? Your reactions were worth waiting for. I didn't see teasers, so Rover was a big surprise to me. You and every reactor I've seen, stop the MV in the exact same places and I know why! Aren't those body rolls illegal? Mer, your comments at the end cracked me up so much I almost lost bladder control😅😂! That was the perfect MV to put at the end.
How did you both survive seeing these on the same stream? You are truly brave! They're all great, but so different from each other. I have to do errands, so watching this will be my reward. See you later.🙃
Set of keys = key football= Minho. Mushrooms= Taemin. You dinosaur s = Jonghyun. Rabbits = onew. Think childhood and growing up. Everyone everywhere doing same thing throughout the dragons of life. ( you cat doesn't mean anything neither the lamb. The fake show think along lines of truman show.. Ps. Onew sneaky released 2 new songs via shinee Japan label. Look for inspiration and knock on my door. An all music streaming app services

It was not the director's cat. The director just shared a comment by the viewers who got reminded of their late cat on the MV
