There are a ton of theories to explain what is happening in EXO's "Let Me In" MV, but what makes the most sense to me is that the lyrics are all about EXO's connection with their fans and their teaser images are connected to EXO's powers and storyline. For example, Kai says, "Here I am and everything I do for you is for us ...", which I see connected to the fact that his power is teleportation and it's his job to travel wherever the other EXO members and fans are in order to connect all of us together -- plus, it also could be connected to the scene in their "For Life" MV, where we see a sign that says "You Were Here." Xiumin's teaser highlights the line, "For long-lasting love, I will freeze my heart," referring to his power of frost. Baekhyun says, "To the Future with us who resemble light," referring to his ability to control light. Chanyeol says, "Don't worry if the darkness approaches, I will shine the light toward you, which could refer to his fire power, etc.
D.O. also mentioned in their behind-the-scenes video that the "Let Me In" MV is a worldview of EXO's lore. If you watch the MV carefully, when time rewinds, D.O.'s notebook showed that he knew the meteor was going to hit Earth. We saw in his notebook that he drew a picture of the meteor, which seems to show that he already knew it was coming.
And as the MV goes on, it's revealed that actually all the EXO members knew that the meteor was on a collision course for Earth and that it would hit at that exact moment. One theory is that EXO is traveling through time and space and they are trying to prevent whatever happened in the past from repeating itself, or they are trying to stop or reverse what happened from happening in the first place, etc. The whole "Let Me In" MV has a feeling like they all are aware of what is happening, as if they have been through this hundreds of times, but they haven't been able to do anything about it yet.
The story in "Let Me In" could all be a big reveal of what they were talking about way back in their pre-debut "History" lyrics and MV, because in that song they talk about wanting to prevent history from being repeated. "History" is about failing at something and trying again to make it right. The theory is that in this part of the story EXO made some sort of unknown "big mistake" on their planet, so they have been sent to Earth to try and right their wrongs by trying to prevent the Red Force from causing a "big mistake" or prevent humanity from allowing a "big mistake" to happen on Earth. Which now we may have discovered, is the meteor that crashes into Earth and destroys humanity.
In "Let Me In" we see Sehun and D.O. sitting at the same outdoor cafe, and they make eye contact but they don't interact because it's thought that EXO are supposed to be going about their tasks on Earth incognito, and so they don't want to be noticed by whomever might be watching them or to reveal their location to the Red Force, etc. Some speculate that when D.O. and Sehun are looking at each other they are silently questioning whether they could use their powers to save the world.
But, as we see, D.O. chooses to walk away and let everything happen because he knows nothing they have tried in the past has prevented disaster, and they have no better solutions at this time. We also see Sehun sigh and continue talking to his friend, even though he knows what would happen. We then see D.O. pause and stand there, watching Sehun and possibly thinking about what is about to happen.
In the next scene, we see Baekhyun is standing at the exact spot where he knew the meteor would hit Earth. We see that everything is dark and void of light, which seems to indicate that he is unable to use his power of light and he is unable to stop the meteor as he watches it hurtle toward him.
Then we see that as the meteor hits Earth, the end credits of the movie that Chen was watching started playing, which possibly could be happening in the movie theater we saw Chen and the other EXO members sitting in in their "Love Shot" MV. In "Love Shot" we saw Suho trying to prevent the members from watching the video by covering Chen's eyes. The scene with the end credits seems to be saying that this is the end of the world. However, as we see in the next moment, this was where time rewound and, as they say in EXO's "Call Me Baby" MV Pathcode teaser videos, "The beginning = The End."
However, there is something more going on with Chen in the theater, because when Xiumin entered the movie theater, Chen squinted at him. Something seemed off about this scene. If you notice, when we see them laughing together, they seem to be watching a replay of a scene starring themselves before the meteor hit, but why?
Another thing to note is the references to all the rocks. The ones we see the members have seem dormant like normal rocks, until time starts rewinding, then they appear to come to life. The interesting thing is, we only see Chanyeol, Suho and Kai with the rocks. This may symbolize that these three had already experienced the meteor hitting the Earth at some point, and they each kept a fragment of it to help them remember in the future or in another time period what had happened. (Kai, Suho and Chanyeol are also the only members we see in the "For Life" MV.)
When the story focuses on Chanyeol, it looks like he may be standing at the epicenter of where the meteor may have hit the first time it struck Earth or he has traveled back in time to right after the meteor first hit Earth. He looks confused and alone, which seems to parallel his "Call Me Baby" Pathcode teaser and he's recalling what happened.
Then we see the stones start to float once again, which looks like it might be the pieces of the original meteor being reactivated like they are coming back together as time reverses. This also reminds me of D.O.'s power, which is the manipulation of Earth elements that give him super strength. In some of EXO's early teaser videos and concert VCRs from the early days, we see that D.O. is able to use his power of force to take giant rocks and use them to stop missiles from hitting their targets. So, was D.O. involved in helping to prevent the original meteor from causing destruction?
And nothing in an EXO MV is ever random. For example, I think the child throwing the rock at the beginning is shown for a very specific reason. Many think the fact that he throws the rock is meant to be a metaphor for how the meteor wasn't a natural occurrence, but was actually caused by something man-made. As part of SM's Culture Universe storyline, it is thought that the underlying message the story is trying to address is all the things that we as humans are doing wrong that need to be fixed, such as war, hate, the destruction of the environment, governmental control, greed of money, etc., which is revealed through the interference of the evil Red Force and their influence on humanity. Therefore, it is thought that someone or something has directed this large rock toward Earth or caused the rock's trajectory to be directed toward Earth.
There's also one scene in EXO's "Lucky One" MV where we see Kai in space with lots of meteors, which could be a foreshadowing of things to come. Therefore, some now think "Let Me In" is taking place after EXO has escaped in "Lucky One", which could explain why the members no longer have the ability to use their powers in "Let Me In". The Red Force stopped EXO's ability to use their powers when they were experimenting on them in "Lucky One". We originally thought that the story in their "Ko Ko Bop" MV took place right after "Lucky One," which would explain why they were loopy and unable to control their powers in "Ko Ko Bop", but since their "Obsession" MV part of the story was introduced, we now think that "Ko Ko Bop" is actually all about X-EXO's storyline, EXO's alter ego clones. That's why it is now thought that "Let Me In" is where EXO's story picks up after they escape in "Lucky One."
"Let Me In" also could be taking place in conjunction with "Obsession's" part of the storyline, because we see the world being destroyed at the end of "Obsession." Maybe EXO are rewinding time to try to prevent whatever happened, in order to stop the destruction of Earth, which could be caused by the battle between EXO and X-EXO or the Red Force, as we see come to the boiling point in "Obsession".
Also, notice how when time was turned back, only Xiumin and Chen -- the only members of EXO-M, EXO's Mandarin Chinese sub-unit, in this MV -- who were in the house, rewound, and everyone else stayed where they were. There are two theories to explain this. Either they are in parallel universes where they can see what is happening, or maybe one of them or some of them aren't EXO members, but they are an X-EXO member in disguise.
In another scene, we see time rewind and the rock that Suho had disappears. We think that could be because the "disaster" never happened or hasn't happened yet. Therefore, it is thought that in this reality, EXO must be the only ones who know what happened in a previous time and place because the timeline has been altered or changed. Something must have prevented it from happening, or has changed the events which lead up to the meteor striking Earth, etc. As the time reversed, it gave them another chance, but they have to relive it all before they can figure out how to change things.
The most interesting part of this MV storyline is that there is no eclipse or sun in the video. An eclipse/sun and moon are where EXO gets their powers from. Some speculate that this means that in their next MV there will be an eclipse, which will allow their powers to return. It's pretty clear that the EXO members are unable to use their powers in "Let Me In" because, for example, why wouldn't D.O. just use his power of force to break up the meteor and why would Kai need a car if he is able to teleport wherever he wants to go?
🫨 i always amazed by EXOL for even explain the theory of EXO MV. since 2012 and im still amazed 😭✨
Ooh my goodness 🤯 this was absolutely amazing! Thank you for taking the time to write all of this out - I am definitely going to be referencing this when I go through the discography now cause damn... I will be taking screenshots of this🤩 THANK YOU!
nobody does RnB like EXO in the whole kpop industry they are just built different
Vocal Kings babe...the best. You're not stupid, pronounce it as "x -o".....as a born and bred American, and a fan for 12 years and Kpop fan since 2006, Exo are my ults....and have been deemed "The Vocal Kings of Kpop" to this day....yes, there are phenomenal singers in Kpop, but no one sings like Exo anymore, very old-school which is my vibe....whether in Korean or not, they are my ultimate jam, they are S A N G E R S, Not singers, SANGERS girl, oh yes! Other younger Kpop groups of today's kpop scene are not like Exo, they are hard-core rap and dance, more shock value...but Exo are old-school, Boys To Men type are for me, r&b, retro pop, electro pop, love songs and ballads, cute pop, dance pop, easy listening...that's Exo for you. I grew up with Exo, so I'm the same age...as they all hit their 30's now...my Kings. You have no idea girl, 12 years of all genres of music....their discography is huge...and girl, if there is no captions, please don't use auto-generated captions, they are "s**t wrong. If you've just discovered Exo, please continue your journey into Kpop with Exo, if they are your vibe. These 9 members are wonderful, talented men. They are adorable, loving people too. They grew up in kpop together and are a strong bonded band of brothers....please keep doing Exo, you will love them too.
💙🌺
.....just subscribed.😊
Thank you for subscribing!! I will definitely continue my EXO journey they are quickly growing on me! Their vocals are just 🤌🏾🤌🏾
It's ok to be confused because EXO has lore, there is a Storyline going on. Their storyline is not linear either, so what happened in the previous MV may have nothing to do with this MV, or be in the same timeframe as the last, or it might be connected to an MV from 6 years ago etc.
Essentially EXO are aliens from EXOPLANET, they have superpowers and are here on Earth to protect us from the Red Force. There's also parallel universes and time distortion going on! Plus their company SM never actually confirms anything in regards to the storyline, so we as fans have a lot of theories about how everything is connected together and what the storyline MV order is, but we don't actually know for sure! They incorporate their storyline into almost everything, including their choreo, their concerts and even some of the members solo work.
I personally absolutely love the storyline and the lore of EXO but I understand it's not for everyone. You can just enjoy the music and that is perfectly ok but if you enjoy storylines then EXO's is definitely a great one to get in to
I definitely enjoy story lines! But I think I just have to find the beginning of it to fully emerse myself. So far I am enjoying everything they are offering so a storyline can definitely make me fall in love even more❤️
EXO let me in is a song about Comparing a lover To the blue sea and wanting to be endlessly together even while The world is falling apart With the meteor hitting They still want to be with that person even till the end. Each member of EXO Are having their own problems in their life That's why you.
See them separated. D.O and sehun Are friends who haven't seen each other in a long time Probably because they have problems But it looks like their trying to make up. Kai Looks like he's on a solo trip Driving around Then he runs into this dog While he's walking away with the meteor hitting He think the dog is in danger But Exo got powers so they can turn back time And make everything better again That's mostly what the song is talking about. Wanting to be with that person even when the Earth looks like it's ending And they are asking them to let them into their heart.
Ooo thank you for the explanation!
EXO and R&B… heaven!!!
We pronounce it as a word, not individual letters. But they do say E X O in a few of their MV's/songs
Yes Best Music Video in 2023 EXO Let Me In❤🎉🎉
Simply, the video talks about the end of the world, which is about to destroy everything, and our desire is to restore time in order to become closer to those we love, and we take the last opportunity for us, so photography has come back in an orderly way to create the opportunity for people to be closer to those you love. This video is very beautiful and deep ❤
I felt the deepness of it. I was on the verge of tears at their voices and the lyrics - loved every second of this ❤️
Like someone else said, the videos are hard to understand if you don’t know about their storyline. It starts with their debut video called “Mama”. That video will give you the beginning of their story. It’s a 6+ minute video that is 1/2 spoken narration and the 2nd half is their actual song. You’ll hear how good their vocals were right from the beginning. Thanks for the reaction!
Thank you for the suggestion!
Ok so MY interpretation is they’re stuck in a time loop. They’ve been separated and their powers don’t work. Some of them even know what’s coming because they’ve seen it happen before. Baekhyun is watching the horizon because he knows the meteor is about to hit, but it actually seems to be coming out of the water, and goes back in once things start reversing?! The same meteor that was drawn in the notebook? Some of them are together while others are alone. Even their powers are mixed up because Chanyeol (who seems to be the one reversing the rocks towards the end) can usually control fire. It’s not all solid in my brain but that’s the best I could come up with 😂 I highly recommend watching the group guide so you’ll at least have some idea about their lore and powers!
I can tell you’re really enjoying the journey so far and once you get to know them better, you won’t be able to stop 🥰
I love your interpretation of it! Meanwhile I was just confused in the corner lol but this is definitely helping me put two and two together - Thank you!
@@QueenSarabiii haha it will take quite a while to put it together but try not to get bogged down with the lore and just enjoy the music and pretty boys 😍 I’ve seen some reactors not even bother trying to understand the story line and I don’t blame them 😂
A good place to start would be a guide so you could at least get to know their powers and general concept. I like the Ultimate exo guide by pastel cookies, even though it’s outdated. A lot has happened since then but it will still give you some good basic info!
@@EXOsNoona I might not get there fast but slowly but surely I'll learn the lore😁 Till then I will defintely be enjoying the PRETTY men ❤❤
Thank you for the suggestion I will definitely check it out!
EXO are aliens from EXO Planet. EXO means external or from the outside. They were put to earth to fight the Red Force (bad guys who keeps bringing them apart from each other and taking their powers) with their powers. It was cringey years ago when they debuted (even the members were shy about it) but over the years it became really cool. They made the theory really cool. It was Lee SooMan's idea. EXO's founder. Tho I have mixed feelings with this man, I will forever be gretaful to him for putting up such talented and great looking men together in one group. Bec THERE IS NO OTHER BOY GROUP LIKE EXO. They are idol of idols. I recommend you watch the Ultimate Guide to EXO by Pastel Kookies so you have some idea about their theory and the members. You can be sure that EXOLs are always here to be with you in your EXO journey 😊❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I will definitely be looking into the guide soon!
It's pronounced as a word EXO coz they're from EXOPLANET. Thier concept from debut up to now is they are aliens from an exoplanet sent to Earth to fight the evil red force.
The Vocals Kings!! 🔥 Thank you for your reaction 🫶
Hey don’t worry, everyone is confused at first on how to pronounce their name! It’s pronounced like a word, so you just say the letters XO.
Also remember Exo Have a storyline concept. I understood the video the first time I watched it. Like I said, it's about somebody wanting to be with someone. Even when the Earth is in danger, let's be together until the end. Just ask us EXO-L We can tell you things. And the Let me In your the ocean They're talking about the girl's blue eyes Are like the ocean When you look at the blue sea It's so pretty
9:09 It is a helicopter crushing on a car, i would like to see Kai’s car as Range Rover, and kai was about to jump from a helicopter to middle of the desert in Jopping mv of SuperM (another group he was in)
i have never been this active in TH-cam before，i kinda glad there no more kai video left in your channel，😭tired
i am acting like my bias right now，he takes things seriously when it comes to his pushing hobby🫡
12:39 yes
Thank you Queen for reacting to our King of Vocals!
Totally understandable getting confused watching the MV, its connected to their concept,part of their storyline,once you get into EXO and EXO Planet you will start seeing and understanding the videos better. Exo songs and vocals tho as you see can make you feel things. The boys are very good at it. I hope to see you reacting to them more and thus getting to know them more. They are talented amazing beautiful men inside out. ❤
oh most people say EXO like a word, not an acronym, cause it comes from "exoplanet" which is a word that means "planet outside of the solar system"
Thank you for reacting exo
Can you please consider to react to "the ultimate guide of exo" from pastel kookies (it's not an up to date guide but still one of the best one)? I think if you like exo you can start to get to know them first from the guide
Or maybe you can react to exo killing voice first
It's up to you ^^
Once again thank you for reacting our exo ^^
yess, a guide or the killing voice!
Thank you for the suggestion! I will defintely be reacting to that!
exo MVs usually have more to do with their group concept rather than about the song itself. Most exo Ls will tell you their own theories but I gave up trying to make sense of it long ago 😅 I just try to enjoy it as is and not think too much of it.
thanks for th react
I am definitely enjoying myself😆 maybe one day it'll all make sense 😅
Esta canción hace que mi cuerpo responda de muchas maneras, llora, se estremece y es feliz solo con escuchar sus voces...
Thank you for this!
Oh ... U might as well watch EXO- UNIVERSE, & EXO- JEKYLL 😊
Is this an OH or oh... cause am I going to be sad or really happy? 😆
@@QueenSarabiii 🤔 both
Both? 👀 I am about to be wrecked, aren't I 😩
just a suggestion, i think you need to put a pause warning at your screen or at the start of the video if you're going to pause a lot. just a disclaimer. if you want to go into detail into their storyline, there's a lot of videos discussing it. all i know is they're aliens that have superpowers. and as much as they make amazing bangers, they absolutely do ballads really well.
You don't say it as letters. Thanks for the watch.
🤍🤍🤍
lmaooo how are you coming from reacting to cream soda and then this???
LOL this was a random choose 😅
