My mother doesn't have the best memory; it takes a few repeats of info for things to stick for her *BUT* I had her watch the EXO'rDIUM concert and she zeroed in on Baekhyun during the opening & by White Noise she could pick out his face AND his voice!~^.^
10:58 Oh You are soooo right about Killing Voice! They really did D.O. dirty there, made him look like a sub-vocalist when he is obviously one of three main vocalists. Any other live performance will easily show you that (other than Killing voice ofc) but yeah... please check out some of his solo/duet covers they are so good! and thanks for the fun reactions :D
To make it easier to remember the rest of the guys: the one with the black guitar is Lay and the other guitarist who has his pick on his mouth is Chanyeol. The first to go up to dance is Kai followed by Sehun.
Other great live is "intro - the eve- forever" in that one is 8 members. To familiarise yourself with their faces and voices you could check "EXO say no mic no problem" is a compilation of them singing without microphones, back up music or just acoustically or maybe you could watch one mv from each member to check their voices. From the ones you still don't recognise: Chanyeol recently released his solo debut with 2 mvs "black out" and "back again" (his mini album is wonderful but he is my ultimate bias so I'm biased) From Kai you could check "Mmmh" or "rover" Lay "lit","lose control" Sehun only have 1 mv, and a short version "on me" is from EXO-SC album "one billion views" which is another way to check the main rappers. For variety shows they have a game show called "EXO arcade" It has very few short episodes. I seen many people watching them in one go without any problem. In season 1 is the 8 korean member. In season 2 Chen and Suho were in the army so they were not there.
EXO Arcade Season2 is on their official channel and is a fun watch to see their personalities and relationship dynamics but it only has 6 of the members as Suho and Chen were in military service at that time. Arcade season 1 is 8 members but might be hard to find but I’m sure it’s somewhere on YT.
My whole Exo is completely brilliant, lol. We have D.O with incredible vocal agilility, Baekhyun who holds incredible notes (watch El Dourado) and Chen with a vocal raange to envy. But apart from them we have the king oh the hight notes who stays hidden, Xiumin. When you get the chance, there's a variety programme from when we were 12, in which they have a contest and Minseok shows off his ability. D.O said in an interview that he loves Chanyeol's voice, and it's clear in some videos that when Chanyeol starts singing, D.O looks at him in awe. All the boys have incredible voices and talents, Kai's sweet voice, Suho with a magnificent voice, Lay with all his charm that leaves you captivated both by his voice and his movements and our maknae whi was beginning to venture more and more into singingg. I hope you'll continue to follow them and see that it's not just singing or dancing that they shine, but also on the catwalk, in dramas, films and in the personalities. We are one.
El Dorado live performance was legend 🎉 If you want to listen their amazing vocal and harmony, please watch "Let Me In" MV. This song is so deep and beautiful ❤
I've only gotten to experience an EXO concert once in person (besides Beakhyun and Kai at a SuperM concert) BUT it remains my favorite concert. I saw them during their second tour, the EXO'luXion, at what was probably their smallest venue they've ever played, with no extended stage, a shortened setlist, almost none of their stage props/special effects, and no Kai and no Lay~~~ And I barely noticed any of it, during the concert^.^ They have very distinct voices and vibes, but all the members still manage to cover for missing members! They have this ability to hypnotize you to feel exactly what they want you to feel; their energy/vibe is infectious! Also, they have a way of making everyone in the venue feel seen (I've seen it mentioned by lots of people that attended their concert & I felt it too), even tho they've confirmed they often can't see anything because of the lightsticks~
I have watched this medley for idk for how many times but I still can't move on how amazing Chen sounds even he has cough/cold, i love how you can hear his clogged nose😂❤
This video of EXO's acoustic session is a clip from their EXO Planet #3 EXO’rdium concert in Japan -- the same concert as their "Mama" "Monster" and "Wolf" live performance that you watched. What's notable about their "Lady Luck" performance, where you see Chanyeol put down the guitar and become the first one to get up and sing, was the fact that Chanyeol is one of the main rappers of EXO. So, this just demonstrates how ALL of the EXO members are amazing singers, even the rappers. Chanyeol is so multi-talented, not only is he a main rapper, but he is also an amazing singer and, as you can see, he can play the acoustic guitar. However, if you get to know him and see more performances, you will see he can also play the electric guitar, bass, piano and drums, etc. This performance is from their Tokyo Dome concert. The Tokyo Dome is one of the largest concert venues in Japan. There is an unwritten rule that in order to be allowed to hold a concert there, you have to be able to fill the place to capacity, so there are probably close to 55,000 fans in that audience. SM Entertainment artists and groups such as EXO, TVXQ, SHINee, Super Junior, BoA, etc. are so popular in Japan that the concert promoters actually ask SM when they want to hold their next concert there because they know they will have no problem selling out in a matter of seconds -- EXO literally holds the record for the fastest sold-out concert at 0.2 seconds -- and they will most likely have to hold multiple day concerts to accommodate the number of fans who want to attend. Kpop concerts last 3 to 4 hours, and the concert is pretty much non-stop the whole time. When it comes to SM concerts, they are usually made up of numerous sets with each set having its own theme, such as their hype set, acoustic set, cute set, fun set, ballad set, etc. Each set is made up of 4 or 5 songs. So, this was only one set out of more than 30 songs during this concert, and each set is just as impressive. Plus, they only take about a 5-minute break in between sets to get ready for the next set. Therefore, if you think they were good in this performance, just wait until you see how amazing the whole concert is. This concert was in 2016, so there were 9 members in EXO at this time. From left to right, Lay (EXO's Chinese member), Xiumin, Sehun, Chen, Suho (leader of EXO), Baekhyun, Kai, D.O. and Chanyeol. This was the last concert tour where Lay was able to participate because of all the political issues between Korea and China. If you want to get to know the members, you should start out with "the Ultimate Guide to EXO" and then after that the individual guides for each member by Cesar Oh. The Ultimate guide and the individual guides are sort of companions to each other and they will all help you get to know the members, their roles in the group and their history. Almost all EXO fans will say you need to check out the Ultimate guide and all 9 individual Cesar Oh guides. Kai, Lay and Sehun are the main dancers of EXO -- as well as some of the best dancers in the industry -- and they also happen to be the members that often have the fewest lines in a lot of EXO's songs, so in concert you will often see them performing solo dances. If Lay wasn't playing the guitar during this acoustic session, he probably would have been up there dancing with Kai and Sehun. (If you notice, the main dancers are the only ones with black pants on. The other members all have white pants. If you continue to watch this concert, you will see in the next set of songs why the main dancers are dressed differently. ;D) Baekhyun, who is one of EXO's main vocalists, pretended to get up to dance with Kai because he is the most gregarious in the group who loves to joke around, so he was just joking that "oh you must want me to go dance, too." However, Suho, EXO's leader, played along and "stopped" him. And in case you were wondering, the numbers on the back of all the members' shirts are special numbers chosen by each member. You will often see them wearing those numbers on their shirts in MVs, in concert or if you watch the dance practice for their new song "Cream Soda." For example: > Suho's number is 1 because as the leader he is No. 1 and he was the first one to be made a member of EXO. > Kris -- a former member of EXO-M (EXO's Mandarin Chinese sub-unit) that left EXO in 2014 -- his number was 00 because he was the leader of EXO-M (It was said that Suho was the mom of the group and Kris was the dad and when you combine 1 and 00 it becomes 100 or 100% complete as leaders.) > Xiumin's number is 99, which the reason is a little complicated -- 88 is morse code for XOXO, which is shorthand for hugs and kisses, or it can also mean EXO like their album title XOXO. Plus, during EXO's "Wolf" MV era in 2013, which is when the idea of their numbers was first developed, Xiumin's teaser promoting their "Wolf" comeback was the 11th teaser released, so 88+11= 99. > Luhan -- a former member of EXO-M, who left the group in 2014 -- chose number 7 because his favorite soccer player's number is 7. > Lay is 10 because he was born in October and also in Chinese there is a saying that uses the word 10 and it means perfection, so it's a play on words. > Baekhyun is 4 because 4th grade was when he started to get interested in becoming a singer. > Chen's number is 21 (Sept. 21) because it's his birth date. > Chanyeol's number is 61 because his nickname growing up was Park Chanho, who is a famous Korean baseball player, and his jersey number is 61. > D.O.'s number is 12 because it represents his birth date (Jan. 12) and it also stands for 12 members of EXO. > Tao -- a former member of EXO-M, who left the group in 2015 -- was 68 because 6+8=14 and the 14th was the date his "Wolf" MV teaser was released. > Kai's number is 88, and his reason is also a little more complex. As mentioned before, 88 stands for XOXO (hugs and kisses/EXO), which was the name of their "Wolf" album, etc. But Kai chose the number because H is the 8th letter in the English alphabet and HH stands for hip-hop, which he used to represent the fact that he is the main dancer. > Sehun is 94 because he was born in 1994.
Are you going to watch their guide ? If so i would recommend watching The Ultimate Guide to EXO. Also for other live stages i want to recommend EXO White Noise + Thunder + Playboy + Artificial Love for sexiness and EXO Christmas Day + The First Snow + MIracles in December for christmas vibe
You're pretty good at recognizing and remembering their faces and names! You nailed the small ones now you gotta learn about the taller ones 🤭 I'll give you mini guide here based on this video; One of two who play guitar, (he's also one of main dancers) black hair, unique voice, sharp facial features, sleepy eyes, dimple - LAY The other one playing guitar, one of main rappers, brown fluffy hair, super tall, raspy voice, big round eyes, also dimple - CHANYEOL One of two dancing guy, one of main rappers and main dancers, tall, black hair, sharp features, small lips, angry eyebrows, deep voice - SEHUN The other dancing guy, one of main dancers, blonde hair, tall, sharp facial expression, thick lips, nasally voice - KAI Hope this helps a bit 😁
One quick add, there is a second acoustic Medley, which I also suggest you watch, Starts with Unfair and then goes into medley. I suggest it because its supper fun, they goof around and Chanyeol and Lay (our two guitar players here) actually also sing in that version, which here they don't.
With EXO, checking out their solos/units will help a lot as well in knowing the members more. EXO highlights what aspect each member do best. =More vocal lines to the main (Chen-Baek-DO) & lead vocalists (Suho-Xiumin) =More rap lines to the main (Chanyeol-Sehun) & lead rappers (Kai-Xiumin) =More choreo highlight to the main (Kai-Lay-Sehun) & lead dancer (Xiumin) =Center/Stage presence (Kai-Baekhyun) If vocals is what attract you the most, expect minimal singing lines with the non-main/lead vocalists (Lay-Kai-Chanyeol-Sehun)
Kai is main dancer and Sehun is lead dancer, that's why you saw them standing up and dancing. If you wanna learn more about D.O, he is a main vocalist (as you know) and well known as a member that has a talent of singing other language songs. Check this out: th-cam.com/video/_TJlXlwJ6js/w-d-xo.html Chanyeol: Even though he is main rapper but he can sing pretty well. He also can produce, play various instruments (guitar, piano, drum, DJ...). => Check this: th-cam.com/video/NTD4HuxJLlU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=a0qe13bUNn7uvEfZ th-cam.com/video/gFV4ZRGU_Zk/w-d-xo.html Chanyeol's M: th-cam.com/video/YI_AM-mFCNk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aE-zMaXP-tCfQQEi Chanyeol and Sehun has a duo sub-unit.

thank you for saying that about the Killing Voice- which is actually just the Killing voice of Baekhyun and Chen haha. There is nothing against the two amazing vocalists because I have nothing but love for them. Kyungsoo as a main vocalist was criminally underused but was delegated instead as backup vocals and the other members too. His "killing parts" were actually precisely cut off from the songs it was frustrating. Chanyeol too has an amazing voice though his main role is a rapper but i love his voice. Thats why people who got to know exo thu KV were surprised to know Kyungsoo is one of the main vocals when they check the Bside medley and other performances.In fairness i don't thin its the boys who decided about the arrangements- its their company. oh well, doesn't take away the fact that EXO is a vocal powerhouse and they are amazing even more live.

thanks for appreciating all of them. they are all really talented. I'm excited for you as you watch more vids and get to know them more. maybe you can also try reacting to some of their shows so you can see their personality. for me it's more fun watching them perform knowing their dual personalities
With medleys that only have parts of songs...it's mixed bags and there will always be members that doesn't get as much parts that highlight their vocals n members who get more(even in compilation that will be the case, at least in medleys the imbalanced vocal highlight weren't as intentional as in fan compilations, or even in the so called ultimate guide video the bias was so blatant...it depends on the video maker's bias to put better and more clips that show off their favs compared to members they like less...i've noticed that, thus i feel like compilations don't represent the whole picture, rather as a biased sneak peak, haha, maybe the individual guides would be a little better)...like many were mad about Killing Voice because D.O didn't get to show much n i noticed he's an extremely popular member among fans and reactors especially so the rage was understandable. i did find it a shame some of his highlight parts weren't included. in this medley though, Chen barely got to show much and D.O got A Lot more highlight than all members(which he did well) but of course everyone's happy n no complain abt parts for this stage since Chen is one of the least appreciated/least popular member from my observation after watching a lot of videos, reactions and reading comments, despite being a main vocalist so i believe being underrated doesn't just depend on how many big parts they get. some members can have a lot of parts n did well and still don't get the deserved amount of appreciation since it goes back to personal preference of audience. i've seen some medley where Baekhyun didn't have much highlight too surprisingly though generally he has a lot of parts with strategic placement in songs so he usually survive n he's very popular anyway...in killing voice him and Chen stood out because from the start they were the ones doing most lines in the first verse of Growl(first song they sang in the Killing Voice) and that already left the first impression(if they had started Growl with 2nd verse instead, D.O would have had all the highlight parts). Suho and Xiumin actually had a decent amount of parts in Killing Voice especially Suho who had more parts showing his vocals in there, but i guess it's because some members stood out more that it made some other members' parts fade a little even though they did have em. Both of them did have more vocals to show here though, especially Xiumin. i have to say Chanyeol imo is an underrated vocalist. He sings well with such ease especially considering he's mainly the rapper and he also has the most different tone/voice colour n texture than the rest but i rarely see people talk about his vocals.
Be careful about limiting the members of EXO to main or sub etc. It is incredible that each and every member has a host of vocal, visual, and dance excellence that is brought to their individual and collective performances. Just as each song has its "flavor", EXO allows each member to shine and highlight the talents of each member, without prejudice. Watch more performances and you will see where the choreography formations facilitate the recognition of a highlighted individual performance section. This group has tremendous respect for one another, work diligently to bring their best to the studio/concert, and support each other. This is why EXO is much beloved and enduring in the global music industry.
omg omg 😭 if you enjoyed watching this, please consider watching this one too 👉 EXO Call me baby + 너의 손짓 Touch it+ 소름 Chill i really like your reactions, you really feel what needs to be felt haha
If you're looking for more groups to add to the list, I highly recommend VIXX. They debuted around the same time as EXO and thy have just as crazy vocals and performances.
Please react EXO drop that, keep on dancing, etc in japan for more and more amazing performance of their concert😍 th-cam.com/video/HavTlSmzmmI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BXE6KfX4sCjysKKI On that video you can see how amazing and fire they are, like chanyeol plays electric guitar , DJ-ing, then DO, Baekhyun, and also Chen FRRR hight notes!!!🔥 Maybe i'll sat this is their rock performance! So, cant wait for your amazing reaction!🎉
Loved the video ❤️ You should check out their "El Dorado" performance in Japan. It's one of my favorite because it sounds so magnificent (not sure that's the word) when performed live.
Actually the most popular in EXO is Baekhyun, Kai, Chanyeol and Sehun. At first reaction to people know DO because he only has 2 letter in his name, plus the camera focused in his face, maybe cameraman is DO's bias, which is unfair even its other members who sings it focus to DO, why it's really unfair, they should get cameraman that isn't bias of any member, lol!
EXO is the only group that I can recognize the voices of each member! They each have such different tones and timbre to their voices. 😊😊
My mother doesn't have the best memory; it takes a few repeats of info for things to stick for her *BUT* I had her watch the EXO'rDIUM concert and she zeroed in on Baekhyun during the opening & by White Noise she could pick out his face AND his voice!~^.^
Same here..they all have very distinctive voices!
Yes!!! 💯 Every member is so magically distinct vocally like how!!!
Ya their vocals are like instruments
This session was made after the concert director was listening to their rehearsal and blown away by Kyungsoo's voice
10:58 Oh You are soooo right about Killing Voice! They really did D.O. dirty there, made him look like a sub-vocalist when he is obviously one of three main vocalists. Any other live performance will easily show you that (other than Killing voice ofc) but yeah... please check out some of his solo/duet covers they are so good! and thanks for the fun reactions :D
It felt like SM's final try of having a stab at Kyungsoo before him leaving SM
Me after watching EXO videos for 5 hours straight: i wish they were longer 😂😂
Real
To make it easier to remember the rest of the guys: the one with the black guitar is Lay and the other guitarist who has his pick on his mouth is Chanyeol. The first to go up to dance is Kai followed by Sehun.
EXO is the most talented group in kpop , actually most of new idols want to become an kpop idol because of exo.
13:15 - It's really impressive that you noticed it was Xiumin first then D.O. even though you are quite new to EXO. 😄👏
you should react to the elyxion concert Stage diamond+run this+drop that+power
Ii agree..that concert performance is sooo invigorating!
Up
he did
Other great live is "intro - the eve- forever" in that one is 8 members.
To familiarise yourself with their faces and voices you could check "EXO say no mic no problem" is a compilation of them singing without microphones, back up music or just acoustically or maybe you could watch one mv from each member to check their voices. From the ones you still don't recognise:
Chanyeol recently released his solo debut with 2 mvs "black out" and "back again" (his mini album is wonderful but he is my ultimate bias so I'm biased)
From Kai you could check "Mmmh" or "rover"
Lay "lit","lose control"
Sehun only have 1 mv, and a short version "on me" is from EXO-SC album "one billion views" which is another way to check the main rappers.
For variety shows they have a game show called "EXO arcade" It has very few short episodes. I seen many people watching them in one go without any problem. In season 1 is the 8 korean member. In season 2 Chen and Suho were in the army so they were not there.
You're my fav reactor lately!
Thankyou for apprecating Xiumin and Suho ❤, they're taken for granted alot.
Hope you can do their B-Side Medley soon.
B side Medley reaction here! th-cam.com/video/ZGlTEW-79Po/w-d-xo.html
I agree, i found Lay's voice interesting too!
EXO Arcade Season2 is on their official channel and is a fun watch to see their personalities and relationship dynamics but it only has 6 of the members as Suho and Chen were in military service at that time. Arcade season 1 is 8 members but might be hard to find but I’m sure it’s somewhere on YT.
Up!
Definitely!
Exo Arcade is a really good start point to their variety shows
For a silly meme video, I suggest ‘EXO moments that saved me through the drought’ or them playing shouting in silence :)
upp
Up!
Up
yessssssss
I love how Chanyoel and Kia are always stuck to D.O.
Roommates after all😂
Yes, Suho is under rated ❤ thank you so much for recognizing him ❤
Take your time knowing exo and their voices. Don't worry, you haven't scratch the surface of exoplanet. Welcome to the rabbit hole. 😂❤❤❤
I miss my Exo 💕😭 thanks for the reaction!! Love your reactions.
Same ❤
My whole Exo is completely brilliant, lol.
We have D.O with incredible vocal agilility, Baekhyun who holds incredible notes (watch El Dourado) and Chen with a vocal raange to envy. But apart from them we have the king oh the hight notes who stays hidden, Xiumin. When you get the chance, there's a variety programme from when we were 12, in which they have a contest and Minseok shows off his ability.
D.O said in an interview that he loves Chanyeol's voice, and it's clear in some videos that when Chanyeol starts singing, D.O looks at him in awe.
All the boys have incredible voices and talents, Kai's sweet voice, Suho with a magnificent voice, Lay with all his charm that leaves you captivated both by his voice and his movements and our maknae whi was beginning to venture more and more into singingg.
I hope you'll continue to follow them and see that it's not just singing or dancing that they shine, but also on the catwalk, in dramas, films and in the personalities.
We are one.
El Dorado live performance was legend 🎉
If you want to listen their amazing vocal and harmony, please watch "Let Me In" MV. This song is so deep and beautiful ❤
I miss them togetherrrrr😢😢😢😢😢
EXO is one of the best Korean boy bands, has a beautiful voice 👑👍 thank you EXO's reaction
EXO ❤❤❤
I've only gotten to experience an EXO concert once in person (besides Beakhyun and Kai at a SuperM concert) BUT it remains my favorite concert. I saw them during their second tour, the EXO'luXion, at what was probably their smallest venue they've ever played, with no extended stage, a shortened setlist, almost none of their stage props/special effects, and no Kai and no Lay~~~ And I barely noticed any of it, during the concert^.^
They have very distinct voices and vibes, but all the members still manage to cover for missing members!
They have this ability to hypnotize you to feel exactly what they want you to feel; their energy/vibe is infectious! Also, they have a way of making everyone in the venue feel seen (I've seen it mentioned by lots of people that attended their concert & I felt it too), even tho they've confirmed they often can't see anything because of the lightsticks~
Each members Vocal colours are just unique & Beautiful❤
This EXO performance is was fav performance in while kpop so far .
I will never get tired of watching Exo content, If I see EXO, I subscribe. Missing Sehun and Kai so much
I have watched this medley for idk for how many times but I still can't move on how amazing Chen sounds even he has cough/cold, i love how you can hear his clogged nose😂❤
This video of EXO's acoustic session is a clip from their EXO Planet #3 EXO’rdium concert in Japan -- the same concert as their "Mama" "Monster" and "Wolf" live performance that you watched.
What's notable about their "Lady Luck" performance, where you see Chanyeol put down the guitar and become the first one to get up and sing, was the fact that Chanyeol is one of the main rappers of EXO.

This was the last concert tour where Lay was able to participate because of all the political issues between Korea and China.
If you want to get to know the members, you should start out with "the Ultimate Guide to EXO" and then after that the individual guides for each member by Cesar Oh. The Ultimate guide and the individual guides are sort of companions to each other and they will all help you get to know the members, their roles in the group and their history. Almost all EXO fans will say you need to check out the Ultimate guide and all 9 individual Cesar Oh guides.
Kai, Lay and Sehun are the main dancers of EXO -- as well as some of the best dancers in the industry -- and they also happen to be the members that often have the fewest lines in a lot of EXO's songs, so in concert you will often see them performing solo dances. If Lay wasn't playing the guitar during this acoustic session, he probably would have been up there dancing with Kai and Sehun. (If you notice, the main dancers are the only ones with black pants on. The other members all have white pants. If you continue to watch this concert, you will see in the next set of songs why the main dancers are dressed differently. ;D)
Baekhyun, who is one of EXO's main vocalists, pretended to get up to dance with Kai because he is the most gregarious in the group who loves to joke around, so he was just joking that "oh you must want me to go dance, too." However, Suho, EXO's leader, played along and "stopped" him.
And in case you were wondering, the numbers on the back of all the members' shirts are special numbers chosen by each member. You will often see them wearing those numbers on their shirts in MVs, in concert or if you watch the dance practice for their new song "Cream Soda."
For example:
> Suho's number is 1 because as the leader he is No. 1 and he was the first one to be made a member of EXO.
> Kris -- a former member of EXO-M (EXO's Mandarin Chinese sub-unit) that left EXO in 2014 -- his number was 00 because he was the leader of EXO-M (It was said that Suho was the mom of the group and Kris was the dad and when you combine 1 and 00 it becomes 100 or 100% complete as leaders.)
> Xiumin's number is 99, which the reason is a little complicated -- 88 is morse code for XOXO, which is shorthand for hugs and kisses, or it can also mean EXO like their album title XOXO. Plus, during EXO's "Wolf" MV era in 2013, which is when the idea of their numbers was first developed, Xiumin's teaser promoting their "Wolf" comeback was the 11th teaser released, so 88+11= 99.
> Luhan -- a former member of EXO-M, who left the group in 2014 -- chose number 7 because his favorite soccer player's number is 7.
> Lay is 10 because he was born in October and also in Chinese there is a saying that uses the word 10 and it means perfection, so it's a play on words.
> Baekhyun is 4 because 4th grade was when he started to get interested in becoming a singer.
> Chen's number is 21 (Sept. 21) because it's his birth date.
> Chanyeol's number is 61 because his nickname growing up was Park Chanho, who is a famous Korean baseball player, and his jersey number is 61.
> D.O.'s number is 12 because it represents his birth date (Jan. 12) and it also stands for 12 members of EXO.
> Tao -- a former member of EXO-M, who left the group in 2015 -- was 68 because 6+8=14 and the 14th was the date his "Wolf" MV teaser was released.
> Kai's number is 88, and his reason is also a little more complex. As mentioned before, 88 stands for XOXO (hugs and kisses/EXO), which was the name of their "Wolf" album, etc. But Kai chose the number because H is the 8th letter in the English alphabet and HH stands for hip-hop, which he used to represent the fact that he is the main dancer.
> Sehun is 94 because he was born in 1994.
FINALLYYYYY!!!!!❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much for reacting to EXO!! Waiting for more exo reactions 🤗
Each member shine on different songs. It's like each of them have 'my song' where in they are the star in the song
Are you going to watch their guide ? If so i would recommend watching The Ultimate Guide to EXO. Also for other live stages i want to recommend EXO White Noise + Thunder + Playboy + Artificial Love for sexiness and EXO Christmas Day + The First Snow + MIracles in December for christmas vibe
Xiumin and Suho are lead vocalists in the group. 🎉❤❤
I love that you are slowing coming to the conclusion that Suho is either becoming your bias or your bias wrecker😂
Thank you for this reaction 🙏✨
more EXO plzz 😍💥
EXO is King
EXO IS KING OF VOCAL, KING OF VISUAL, KING OF DANCE, KING OF HARMONISATION, KING OF EVERYTHING . EXO IS MASTERPIECE❤
You're pretty good at recognizing and remembering their faces and names! You nailed the small ones now you gotta learn about the taller ones 🤭 I'll give you mini guide here based on this video;
One of two who play guitar, (he's also one of main dancers) black hair, unique voice, sharp facial features, sleepy eyes, dimple - LAY
The other one playing guitar, one of main rappers, brown fluffy hair, super tall, raspy voice, big round eyes, also dimple - CHANYEOL
One of two dancing guy, one of main rappers and main dancers, tall, black hair, sharp features, small lips, angry eyebrows, deep voice - SEHUN
The other dancing guy, one of main dancers, blonde hair, tall, sharp facial expression, thick lips, nasally voice - KAI
Hope this helps a bit 😁
One quick add, there is a second acoustic Medley, which I also suggest you watch, Starts with Unfair and then goes into medley. I suggest it because its supper fun, they goof around and Chanyeol and Lay (our two guitar players here) actually also sing in that version, which here they don't.
With EXO, checking out their solos/units will help a lot as well in knowing the members more.
EXO highlights what aspect each member do best.
=More vocal lines to the main (Chen-Baek-DO) & lead vocalists (Suho-Xiumin)
=More rap lines to the main (Chanyeol-Sehun) & lead rappers (Kai-Xiumin)
=More choreo highlight to the main (Kai-Lay-Sehun) & lead dancer (Xiumin)
=Center/Stage presence (Kai-Baekhyun)
If vocals is what attract you the most, expect minimal singing lines with the non-main/lead vocalists (Lay-Kai-Chanyeol-Sehun)
Kai is main dancer and Sehun is lead dancer, that's why you saw them standing up and dancing.
If you wanna learn more about D.O, he is a main vocalist (as you know) and well known as a member that has a talent of singing other language songs. Check this out: th-cam.com/video/_TJlXlwJ6js/w-d-xo.html
Chanyeol: Even though he is main rapper but he can sing pretty well. He also can produce, play various instruments (guitar, piano, drum, DJ...).

thank you for saying that about the Killing Voice- which is actually just the Killing voice of Baekhyun and Chen haha. There is nothing against the two amazing vocalists because I have nothing but love for them. Kyungsoo as a main vocalist was criminally underused but was delegated instead as backup vocals and the other members too. His "killing parts" were actually precisely cut off from the songs it was frustrating. Chanyeol too has an amazing voice though his main role is a rapper but i love his voice. Thats why people who got to know exo thu KV were surprised to know Kyungsoo is one of the main vocals when they check the Bside medley and other performances.In fairness i don't thin its the boys who decided about the arrangements- its their company. oh well, doesn't take away the fact that EXO is a vocal powerhouse and they are amazing even more live.
'What if' is one of my favourite .. tq for your reaction ❤
I recommend you to watch the ultimate guides for each member, it helps A LOT to understand better their positions,talents and personalities
Members in order here:
(black guitar) Lay-Xiumin-Sehun-Chen-Suho-Baekhyun-Kai-D.O-Chanyeol
Aside from my usual reco, you might want to hear more snippets of their vocals

EXO El Dorado Seoul live performance, please 🙏 💗😭😭
thanks for appreciating all of them. they are all really talented. I'm excited for you as you watch more vids and get to know them more. maybe you can also try reacting to some of their shows so you can see their personality. for me it's more fun watching them perform knowing their dual personalities
With medleys that only have parts of songs...it's mixed bags and there will always be members that doesn't get as much parts that highlight their vocals n members who get more(even in compilation that will be the case, at least in medleys the imbalanced vocal highlight weren't as intentional as in fan compilations, or even in the so called ultimate guide video the bias was so blatant...it depends on the video maker's bias to put better and more clips that show off their favs compared to members they like less...i've noticed that, thus i feel like compilations don't represent the whole picture, rather as a biased sneak peak, haha, maybe the individual guides would be a little better)...like many were mad about Killing Voice because D.O didn't get to show much n i noticed he's an extremely popular member among fans and reactors especially so the rage was understandable. i did find it a shame some of his highlight parts weren't included. in this medley though, Chen barely got to show much and D.O got A Lot more highlight than all members(which he did well) but of course everyone's happy n no complain abt parts for this stage since Chen is one of the least appreciated/least popular member from my observation after watching a lot of videos, reactions and reading comments, despite being a main vocalist so i believe being underrated doesn't just depend on how many big parts they get. some members can have a lot of parts n did well and still don't get the deserved amount of appreciation since it goes back to personal preference of audience. i've seen some medley where Baekhyun didn't have much highlight too surprisingly though generally he has a lot of parts with strategic placement in songs so he usually survive n he's very popular anyway...in killing voice him and Chen stood out because from the start they were the ones doing most lines in the first verse of Growl(first song they sang in the Killing Voice) and that already left the first impression(if they had started Growl with 2nd verse instead, D.O would have had all the highlight parts). Suho and Xiumin actually had a decent amount of parts in Killing Voice especially Suho who had more parts showing his vocals in there, but i guess it's because some members stood out more that it made some other members' parts fade a little even though they did have em. Both of them did have more vocals to show here though, especially Xiumin. i have to say Chanyeol imo is an underrated vocalist. He sings well with such ease especially considering he's mainly the rapper and he also has the most different tone/voice colour n texture than the rest but i rarely see people talk about his vocals.
EXO is such a fascinating group
Thank you for your reaction ❤EXO forever
esta presentación es tan maravillosa que no me canso de mirar y escuchar. Muchas gracias por tu reacción tan sincera.
Be careful about limiting the members of EXO to main or sub etc. It is incredible that each and every member has a host of vocal, visual, and dance excellence that is brought to their individual and collective performances. Just as each song has its "flavor", EXO allows each member to shine and highlight the talents of each member, without prejudice. Watch more performances and you will see where the choreography formations facilitate the recognition of a highlighted individual performance section. This group has tremendous respect for one another, work diligently to bring their best to the studio/concert, and support each other. This is why EXO is much beloved and enduring in the global music industry.
Love everything EXO! They are all all terrific vocalists! Can you do some solo Baekhyun? He’s my Ult in all of Kpop ❤

EXOをありがとうございます。JAYTVさんは、早くから、メンバーを認識しましたね。たぶん声も聞き分けているのでしょうか。メンバーの声が分かるようになると、もっともっとEXOが楽しくなると思います。次もEXOの反応を楽しみにしていますね。

If you're looking for more groups to add to the list, I highly recommend VIXX. They debuted around the same time as EXO and thy have just as crazy vocals and performances.

Loved the video ❤️
You should check out their "El Dorado" performance in Japan. It's one of my favorite because it sounds so magnificent (not sure that's the word) when performed live.
You mancrushing on Suho is hilarious but defo undertandable.
Actually the most popular in EXO is Baekhyun, Kai, Chanyeol and Sehun. At first reaction to people know DO because he only has 2 letter in his name, plus the camera focused in his face, maybe cameraman is DO's bias, which is unfair even its other members who sings it focus to DO, why it's really unfair, they should get cameraman that isn't bias of any member, lol!
