Lay is huge in China. He's in the top 3 artists in China. He was also the Communist Youth League Ambassador of China and EXO was Korea's nations pick. So of course, Lay in EXO is unlike other groups. With the political issues between the 2 countries, this could be sensitive. However, we know they are in close contact Lay has recently talked about his conversation with Sehun to the fans at his concert/shows. They do meet up but they just don't share the pictures. DFTF was a special album for the fans during the enlistment period and not an official comeback. We hope that they will reunite again for an album especially since Lay now has a company in Korea.
Their vocals are untouchable! Baekhyun still takes vocal lessons. Lay is very loyal to the members, he talks about them all the time! All the members except Sehun and Kai have done musical theater. Have a great day! 😊
sadly when it comes to Chen most people are more interested on his personal life than his music career. though it's not included here, he has a lot of OSTs under his belt the latest one he released was The Way to Love Myself from the k-drama Doctor Slump. he also is a gifted lyricist & has wrote some songs for EXO & his solo albums. i really hope someone would do an updated version of these guides because they're really outdated.
You are adorable! I can very much relate to the way you react to Baekhyun. Wait until you see Get You Alone! 😂 Btw that info about Baekhyun being the only soloist to sell a million copies or over a million copies is wrong and I wish it wasn't in there. Baekhyun is the first soloist to do it after 19 years since Kim Gun Mo did it in 2001.
If you want to react to their variety content, I would recommend Exo Arcade (2 seasons), not sure if you have already seen it. It is a really fun show and you will get to know the boys personalities a lot more. It is available to watch on YT so it wont get blocked. Looking forward to more Exo reactions, thanks.
11:16 Most of EXO has participated in a musical at some point~^.^ - Chanyeol: Participated in a musical while enlisted; the making-of footage for the show is great, you can see how shocked the producers & staff were that a rapper was such a good singer^.^ - Chen: Starred in a South Korean production of In The Heights; at one point Lin-Manuel Miranda had Chen's promo shot for the show as his phonecase?! - Baekhyun: Starred in a South Korean production of Singing in the Rain~~~ - D.O: Surprisingly has also only done one musical so far; it was a musical he took part in during his military service, alongside Xiumin - Xiumin: starred in a SM hologram musical called School OZ with Suho, and then later went on to perform in two musicals while he was in the military, one of these musicals let him also perform alongside D.O^.^ Xiumin then starred in the Korean production of Hadestown almost immediately after his enlistment ended! - Suho: The member with the most experience in musical theater~ He was in School OZ (the SM hologram musical) with Xiumin, but then he booked the lead role in The Last Kiss and The Man Who Laughs back-to-back, two of the most expensive and most anticipated musicals of the season in South Korea. He auditioned for both, just hoping to maybe get one, and ended up booking both!~ The Man Who Laughs and Suho's performance went over so well that they did a few encore shows~ And not too long ago he just finished his run as the lead in Mozart!, another highly anticipated musical^.^
Sehun is now Dior ambassador He is a model,very famous for his amazing proportions (He also has the biggest nose in EXO lol if u know u know as Baekhyun confirmed)
Thank you for this, really enjoyed it. I would still suggest checking out Caesar Oh's individual guides as it covers a lot more information about the members, please do react to them if you are interested to know more.
Chen has 2 kids in the order he always wanted a girl first and a boy second. Chanyeol is friends with Joohoney. Kai, Taemin and Jimin attended the same dance school so that is how Jimin knows both of them and is friends with them both. there is a story one of them talked once about a time they had to pick Jimin up for something, but I don't remember all of it.
Lay released a single recently with lauv called Run Back to You he's currently an inactive member of exo and more focused on his solo stuff. He's having an album comeback soon and movie to be release this year
As you saw, EXO's fan color is "Cosmic Latte" (greyish-tan), i.e. the color of coffee, which is why it has the word latte in the name. Cosmic Latte is said to be the color that is created when you combine all the colors of the stars together. In real life, some stars emit a red light, some are white, some are blue, some are yellow, etc. depending on what they are made out of or the distance from Earth, etc, so when you put all those colors together, you get the color of "cosmic latte." (As otherworldly beings, even EXO's official color is linked to the group's concept.) However -- as we see introduced in EXO's "Power" MV -- each of the 9 EXO members also have their own official color, which is why EXO's lightstick was one of the first to be able to change multiple colors.
One of the main reasons why Suho was a trainee for 7 years was because he originally started out training to be a member of SM's legendary second-generation group, SHINee. However, right before SHINee was to debut in 2008, Suho injured his knee and he couldn't train for their debut showcase, so SM decided to debut SHINee without him. He ended up having to wait 4 more years before he debuted as the leader of EXO. But, by all accounts, this worked out for the best because he became the leader, and as the other EXO members say, he was born to be a leader. If he had stayed a member of SHINee he never would have become a leader, because Onew -- who is the leader of SHINee -- is 2 years older than Suho, and at the time of SHINee's debut it was pretty much a given that the oldest member would automatically be the leader. However, 4 years later when EXO debuted, the rules within the industry had kind of changed and it was no longer a hard and fast rule that the oldest would be the leader. Case in point, Xiumin is the oldest EXO member and, yet, Suho became the leader. Being a trainee for 7 years isn't that uncommon. If you start to really look into it, you will find a lot of Idols who have trained for a very long time before they debuted. However, it all depends on how talented someone is or how much experience they have had before becoming a trainee as to how long they train. Some idols only train for a few weeks or a few months, whereas others could take years and they may be on the verge of giving up when the company finally decides they are ready to debut. And some trainees may never debut and end up leaving the company or industry. Unfortunately, just because you are a trainee doesn't guarantee you will debut. A lot of it is pure talent and luck combined with sheer dedication. For example, Kai tained for 6 years before he debuted and Johnny from NCT trained for 9 years. Although, Johnny trained for 9 years because he was only a trainee part time. Johnny's parents only allowed him to spend summers in Korea, so he could only train for about 3 months when he was on summer break from school. Therefore, although Johnny was a trainee for 9 years, his trainee period, compared to other idols who trained full-time, was actually only about 3 years.
Yes, you will discover that all the members of EXO -- and most idols in general -- are actors, and all of them have starred in K-dramas and movies and/or are stage actors. Promoting as a group only takes up a few weeks a year -- on average Kpop Idols only promote their latest comeback on music shows and attend variety shows or do interviews, etc. to promote their newest comeback for about 2 weeks -- so in order to fill their time and continue to make money, all Idols have side projects, which means most idols also spend time as TV and movie actors, musical stage actors, models, Radio DJs, authors, music producers, songwriters, regular/main cast members on variety shows, etc. Their side projects also are part of their cross promotions as idols. Someone who doesn't know them may watch them in a drama or movie or see them promoting their favorite brand or product, etc., which leads to them discovering their group and music, or the person may be a fan of them as a singer and this makes them want to watch their movie or drama, etc. It's all about getting their name and face out there in as many ways as possible in order to drive sales and viewership of everything they are involved in.
Lovin' watchin' your journey with EXO...They've got a lot of content, so prepare for the ride. Solo's --- Suho - Decanting, Xiumin -You, Lay - Viel, Baekhyun -Any thing you react to will get you, Chen - Light of My Life, Chanyeol - Good Enough, Kai - Peaches, Sehun - On Me.......EXO-CBX - Blooming Day, EXO-SC - We young..technically it was before SC, but I like the song.
I love your channel! and i'm always here for EXO, can't wait for you to react to their B-sides they're super amazing, i feel like we have a similar taste ;) so here's couple of suggestions: 1- Gravity (live version) 2- Oasis 3- El Dorado (live version) 4- Hurt 5- Been Through For Baekhyun you must react to the following: 1- Bambi 2- Cry for love 3- Love again (live version) 4- Hurt ft.Seomoontak 5- Paranoia 6- UN village
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, as you may know, 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. Although there are still several obstacles in his way to being able to work with EXO. Therefore, we may never get to see Lay working in person with the rest of EXO again, but we can always hope. However, one good sign is that Super Junior's Chinese member Zhoumi, who has also been restricted from being able to work with Super Junior for the past 6 years or so, was actually back in Korea for several months last year and he released a new song with one of his Korean Super Junior members and the song was in both Korean and Mandarin and he even did promotions and appeared on Korean programs while he was there. 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, 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. 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, Taecyeon from 2PM left JYP Entertainment, but he worked out a deal with his new company that has allowed him to continue activities with 2PM. And even more encouraging is the fact that Girls' Generation had a comeback as a full group in 2022 even though 3 members left SM more than 5 years ago.) I mean, SM has been supporting Lay in everything he has been doing so far, including endorsing him when he started his trainee company Chromosome. And I don't think there is any bad blood or uneasy feelings between Lay and SM, so anything is possible.
As a Baekhyun/Chanyeol bias as well I feel you with your reaction to their parts in the guide 😂 also the hair tuck when D.O was singing Boyfriend was such a mood. I'm loving your reactions!
Thanks for react EXO ❤️ I love them for 12 years and forever. ❤️ Love them❤️, Love you❤️ Waiting for next reaction. Many many songs and performed 😆 EXO is the best for me.❤️
2:41 I love how unfazed you are 😂 2:55 just want to make it clear. Luhan was main vocalist besides Chen in Exo-M. 4:00 Lay's situation is really severe unlike other Chinese idols because of he's the ambassador for Chinese youth. DFTF was his last comeback with Exo because his contract expires although he's still part of Exo. 5:56 its alright, no one does in starting although personally I myself got it all in first try 😂 maybe because of my nerdy personality when it comes to these things. 6:53 if you discover their personalities, their powers really suits them. 7:22 kinda 7:34 Ikr its kinda overwhelming 10:23 lol your reaction 😂 11:17 lucky for you, Suho is an AMAZING musical actor. I'd really recommend his play "The Man Who Laughs" 13:17 you don't know the amount of bullying Suho gets from the members 😂 13:56 I love your reaction to Xiumin's age 😂 cause literally everyone thinks Xiumin is the maknae while everyone always thinks the actual maknae is the oldest member. 15:48 yup they all are 😂 17:23 because you fall under the charm of his vampire youth 😂 17:49 Cream Soda Xiumin was amazing 😍 also one thing the guide didn't emphasize is that Xiumin has can do various sports like Kendo, Wushu, Taekwondo, Fencing, Soccer. Also he can do the highest note alongside Chen. He's also such a great dancer. 18:48 because this is Exo. Everyone in Exo is at that level 😂❤ 21:18 lol I feel ya girl 😂 22:22 yup its in that moment he realized that he never named the cat 😂 23:11 damn I love the way you blush at Baekhyun 😂 25:35 girl you're big softie for him, i LOVE it 😂❤ 28:53 I can't even imagine dear 😶 I'm too self aware 😢 30:55 I feel ya, I like that for D.O. 33:31 he has two kids as of now. 34:42 actually most beginners mistake Chen to be a reserved and calm person which he indeed is but he's really loud and naughty with Exo members alongside Baekhyun, Chanyeol and Xiumin. 37:08 well Chanyeol's talent can do that to a person 😂 40:31 oh he sure broke them 😂 41:02 I would highly recommend to check out D.O's "Hello Monster", "The Moon", "Bad Prosecutor". 43:06 Chanyeol is always there for D.O. with his instruments 😂 let's just say he's D.O's first fan. 44:33 D.O. is PHENOMENAL as an actor. 45:25 Exo members have a kink for getting beaten by him 😂 47:45 you need to check out that performance, even other idols were impressed. 51:12 you're the first one to call Jongin cutie 😂 55:04 I love how distracted you got for a second because of Sehun's visuals 😂 55:57 ikr 😂 58:24 yup he was ambassador for Luis Vitton but now he's ambassador for Dior. 1:00:13 there's another slogan "Lets Love" 1:01:05 one thing that isn't mention is that Exo are the first one to have Bluetooth light stick. 1:02:57 exactly girl ❤ 1:03:09 for subunits I'd recommend Exo-CBX: The One, Hey Mama, Blooming Day, Horlololo, Paper Cut (live performance) Exo-SC: We Young, Just Us 2, Radio Station, What a Life, Telephone Also I'd really suggest to check out Caesar Oh's guides to all individual members even though the guide is outdated now.
Loved watching your reactions 😊❤ thank you for loving ma' precious boys. I am sure you will enjoy this journey with EXO. FYI, Suho trained the longest bec he was supposed to debut with Shinee but he got a car accident and got injured. Maybe bec he was meant to be EXO's leader which I am thankful ❤.
It still feels weird seeing people discovering EXO now,as I've been fan since predebut in 2011 when they were announcing the members. Tao and Luhan are doing okay in their activities from what i saw (both are still friends,no idea if they are still in contact with the current members). And we don't talk about the other one (let him rot in jail)
This is a great guide..could be updated a bit! I get your reaction to Baekhyun’s part.! Cant wait for you to subunit CBX…their songs are sooo good. Recommendations for live stages ..Mama, monster, Wolf..in Japan (will need filter for copyright issues) and Eldorado!❤️
I love your reactions to EХO and especially to Baekhyun who is my bias. You have to react to this - EXO - "My Answer" In Japan❤❤❤ Thank you and I will wait💙
Hear me out bts was good too... also the behind the scenes of Cream Soda and Hear me out dance practice was also good. She must feel so overwhelmed with all that's being recommended to her lol
You're sooo sweet 😘😘 loved your reaction. Now I'm going to watch your previous exo videos 🤭 Can't wait to see Exo journey with you ❤️ my fav group ❤️🩹 I highly recommend watching what is love next. The vocals in that one are crazy. Sung by only Baekhyun and d.o. 😌 Also albums 🥹🥹
Baekhyun is the 1 soloist in Korea selling his mini album of 1m twice. U can react his 3 box office hit title track of UN Village, Candy and Bambi. Or u can react their individual Profile, like this one, but only showcases their talents individually, start with the oldest first, Xiumin to the youngest, Sehun!
YOU NEED TO REACT TO SOLO ALBUMS OF BAEKHYUN, YOU GO CRAZY OF HIS VOCAL AND ALSO HIS SEXY CHARISMATIC CHARM, you will totally into him. His my bias since 2012 until now. You can react to his CANDY, UN VILLAGE, BAMBI, CRY FOR LOVE AND ALL I GOT PLEASE!
Not to be a prick or trying to be rude but in kpop, the distinction between positions actually matters A LOT. "Main" positions always have the best technique in the group(in singing, dancing or rapping), therefore they usually carried the most weight in each respective job. Yes they're all singers & can sing well. BUT u can't expect a lead vocalist like Suho(for example) to do as well as ChenBaekSoo in doing all the difficult vocals in their songs. It's the reason why they're the main vocals. Not trying to undermine their talents bcus they're talented asf. But it's not smthing that people can't deny that they don't have the same equal level in skills. Which what created those distinctions. If they're not so important, they'd not have made those positions in the first place.
I understand that’s important especially when starting a group to establish positions. I more so meant as of rn to me bc I pretty much know for the most part where everyone stands with their positions and they’ve all grown so much. So I don’t feel the need to have to distinguish them that way in my head personally. Maybe if I was just learning a group it would be more important to know. Of course there were some new things I learned about them and their positions in the guide which is helpful tho. Idk if that makes sense
Lay is huge in China. He's in the top 3 artists in China. He was also the Communist Youth League Ambassador of China and EXO was Korea's nations pick. So of course, Lay in EXO is unlike other groups. With the political issues between the 2 countries, this could be sensitive.

DFTF was a special album for the fans during the enlistment period and not an official comeback. We hope that they will reunite again for an album especially since Lay now has a company in Korea.
Kyungsoo is known for his soulful r&b vocals he can runs and riffs like crazy. Probably the most agile boy vocals in kpop
Kyungsoo is what you called a stylistic singer with a good technique
Their vocals are untouchable! Baekhyun still takes vocal lessons. Lay is very loyal to the members, he talks about them all the time! All the members except Sehun and Kai have done musical theater. Have a great day! 😊
sadly when it comes to Chen most people are more interested on his personal life than his music career. though it's not included here, he has a lot of OSTs under his belt the latest one he released was The Way to Love Myself from the k-drama Doctor Slump. he also is a gifted lyricist & has wrote some songs for EXO & his solo albums. i really hope someone would do an updated version of these guides because they're really outdated.
Baekhyun and D.O. are my ult fav! But I love them all!🥰❤️❤️❤️
You are adorable! I can very much relate to the way you react to Baekhyun. Wait until you see Get You Alone! 😂
Btw that info about Baekhyun being the only soloist to sell a million copies or over a million copies is wrong and I wish it wasn't in there. Baekhyun is the first soloist to do it after 19 years since Kim Gun Mo did it in 2001.
D.O has a soulful singing sound like western singers he's the R&B king, his vocal tone is super famous
If you want to react to their variety content, I would recommend Exo Arcade (2 seasons), not sure if you have already seen it. It is a really fun show and you will get to know the boys personalities a lot more. It is available to watch on YT so it wont get blocked. Looking forward to more Exo reactions, thanks.
Baekhyun will held his concert 🎉🎉, he will come to my country june ❤ cant wait for the war
11:16 Most of EXO has participated in a musical at some point~^.^
- Chanyeol: Participated in a musical while enlisted; the making-of footage for the show is great, you can see how shocked the producers & staff were that a rapper was such a good singer^.^
- Chen: Starred in a South Korean production of In The Heights; at one point Lin-Manuel Miranda had Chen's promo shot for the show as his phonecase?!
- Baekhyun: Starred in a South Korean production of Singing in the Rain~~~
- D.O: Surprisingly has also only done one musical so far; it was a musical he took part in during his military service, alongside Xiumin
- Xiumin: starred in a SM hologram musical called School OZ with Suho, and then later went on to perform in two musicals while he was in the military, one of these musicals let him also perform alongside D.O^.^ Xiumin then starred in the Korean production of Hadestown almost immediately after his enlistment ended!
- Suho: The member with the most experience in musical theater~ He was in School OZ (the SM hologram musical) with Xiumin, but then he booked the lead role in The Last Kiss and The Man Who Laughs back-to-back, two of the most expensive and most anticipated musicals of the season in South Korea. He auditioned for both, just hoping to maybe get one, and ended up booking both!~ The Man Who Laughs and Suho's performance went over so well that they did a few encore shows~ And not too long ago he just finished his run as the lead in Mozart!, another highly anticipated musical^.^
Sehun is now Dior ambassador
He is a model,very famous for his amazing proportions
(He also has the biggest nose in EXO lol if u know u know as Baekhyun confirmed)
Thank you for this, really enjoyed it. I would still suggest checking out Caesar Oh's individual guides as it covers a lot more information about the members, please do react to them if you are interested to know more.

How to win my heart
Xiumin: Marshmallow~
That's sooo cute, my heart

I love your channel! and i'm always here for EXO, can't wait for you to react to their B-sides they're super amazing, i feel like we have a similar taste ;) so here's couple of suggestions:
1- Gravity (live version)
2- Oasis

1- Bambi
2- Cry for love

4- Hurt ft.Seomoontak
5- Paranoia
6- UN village

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, 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.
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, Taecyeon from 2PM left JYP Entertainment, but he worked out a deal with his new company that has allowed him to continue activities with 2PM. And even more encouraging is the fact that Girls' Generation had a comeback as a full group in 2022 even though 3 members left SM more than 5 years ago.) I mean, SM has been supporting Lay in everything he has been doing so far, including endorsing him when he started his trainee company Chromosome. And I don't think there is any bad blood or uneasy feelings between Lay and SM, so anything is possible.
As a Baekhyun/Chanyeol bias as well I feel you with your reaction to their parts in the guide 😂 also the hair tuck when D.O was singing Boyfriend was such a mood. I'm loving your reactions!

Thanks for react EXO ❤️
I love them for 12 years and forever. ❤️
Love them❤️, Love you❤️
Waiting for next reaction.
Many many songs and performed 😆
EXO is the best for me.❤️
It's so hard to find bias in EXO because of the overwhelming handsomeness and talent each members have🥹
I love them ❤ Baekhyun is my bias too ❤❤❤
2:41 I love how unfazed you are 😂
2:55 just want to make it clear. Luhan was main vocalist besides Chen in Exo-M.
4:00 Lay's situation is really severe unlike other Chinese idols because of he's the ambassador for Chinese youth. DFTF was his last comeback with Exo because his contract expires although he's still part of Exo.
5:56 its alright, no one does in starting although personally I myself got it all in first try 😂 maybe because of my nerdy personality when it comes to these things.
6:53 if you discover their personalities, their powers really suits them.
7:22 kinda
7:34 Ikr its kinda overwhelming
10:23 lol your reaction 😂
11:17 lucky for you, Suho is an AMAZING musical actor. I'd really recommend his play "The Man Who Laughs"
13:17 you don't know the amount of bullying Suho gets from the members 😂
13:56 I love your reaction to Xiumin's age 😂 cause literally everyone thinks Xiumin is the maknae while everyone always thinks the actual maknae is the oldest member.
15:48 yup they all are 😂
17:23 because you fall under the charm of his vampire youth 😂
17:49 Cream Soda Xiumin was amazing 😍 also one thing the guide didn't emphasize is that Xiumin has can do various sports like Kendo, Wushu, Taekwondo, Fencing, Soccer. Also he can do the highest note alongside Chen. He's also such a great dancer.
18:48 because this is Exo. Everyone in Exo is at that level 😂❤
21:18 lol I feel ya girl 😂
22:22 yup its in that moment he realized that he never named the cat 😂
23:11 damn I love the way you blush at Baekhyun 😂
25:35 girl you're big softie for him, i LOVE it 😂❤
28:53 I can't even imagine dear 😶 I'm too self aware 😢
30:55 I feel ya, I like that for D.O.
33:31 he has two kids as of now.
34:42 actually most beginners mistake Chen to be a reserved and calm person which he indeed is but he's really loud and naughty with Exo members alongside Baekhyun, Chanyeol and Xiumin.
37:08 well Chanyeol's talent can do that to a person 😂
40:31 oh he sure broke them 😂
41:02 I would highly recommend to check out D.O's "Hello Monster", "The Moon", "Bad Prosecutor".
43:06 Chanyeol is always there for D.O. with his instruments 😂 let's just say he's D.O's first fan.
44:33 D.O. is PHENOMENAL as an actor.
45:25 Exo members have a kink for getting beaten by him 😂
47:45 you need to check out that performance, even other idols were impressed.
51:12 you're the first one to call Jongin cutie 😂
55:04 I love how distracted you got for a second because of Sehun's visuals 😂
55:57 ikr 😂
58:24 yup he was ambassador for Luis Vitton but now he's ambassador for Dior.
1:00:13 there's another slogan "Lets Love"
1:01:05 one thing that isn't mention is that Exo are the first one to have Bluetooth light stick.
1:02:57 exactly girl ❤
1:03:09 for subunits I'd recommend
Exo-CBX: The One, Hey Mama, Blooming Day, Horlololo, Paper Cut (live performance)
Exo-SC: We Young, Just Us 2, Radio Station, What a Life, Telephone
Also I'd really suggest to check out Caesar Oh's guides to all individual members even though the guide is outdated now.
Loved watching your reactions 😊❤ thank you for loving ma' precious boys. I am sure you will enjoy this journey with EXO.
FYI, Suho trained the longest bec he was supposed to debut with Shinee but he got a car accident and got injured. Maybe bec he was meant to be EXO's leader which I am thankful ❤.
It still feels weird seeing people discovering EXO now,as I've been fan since predebut in 2011 when they were announcing the members. Tao and Luhan are doing okay in their activities from what i saw (both are still friends,no idea if they are still in contact with the current members). And we don't talk about the other one (let him rot in jail)
This is a great guide..could be updated a bit! I get your reaction to Baekhyun’s part.! Cant wait for you to subunit CBX…their songs are sooo good. Recommendations for live stages ..Mama, monster, Wolf..in Japan (will need filter for copyright issues) and Eldorado!❤️
I love your reactions to EХO and especially to Baekhyun who is my bias. You have to react to this - EXO - "My Answer" In Japan❤❤❤ Thank you and I will wait💙
React to EXO Cream soda MV behind the scenes and Don’t fight the feeling behind the scenes pls❤️
Hear me out bts was good too... also the behind the scenes of Cream Soda and Hear me out dance practice was also good. She must feel so overwhelmed with all that's being recommended to her lol

Baekhyun is the 1 soloist in Korea selling his mini album of 1m twice. U can react his 3 box office hit title track of UN Village, Candy and Bambi. Or u can react their individual Profile, like this one, but only showcases their talents individually, start with the oldest first, Xiumin to the youngest, Sehun!
The Bambi mv would be great plz
React to EXO never inviting Sehun and Kai anywhere after this
EXO-k MAMA reaction plz
YOU NEED TO REACT TO SOLO ALBUMS OF BAEKHYUN, YOU GO CRAZY OF HIS VOCAL AND ALSO HIS SEXY CHARISMATIC CHARM, you will totally into him. His my bias since 2012 until now. You can react to his CANDY, UN VILLAGE, BAMBI, CRY FOR LOVE AND ALL I GOT PLEASE!

No tiene subtitulos 😭
The only thing that isn't highlighted here in this video is that chen is a very good lyricist
Not to be a prick or trying to be rude but in kpop, the distinction between positions actually matters A LOT. "Main" positions always have the best technique in the group(in singing, dancing or rapping), therefore they usually carried the most weight in each respective job.
Yes they're all singers & can sing well. BUT u can't expect a lead vocalist like Suho(for example) to do as well as ChenBaekSoo in doing all the difficult vocals in their songs. It's the reason why they're the main vocals.
Not trying to undermine their talents bcus they're talented asf. But it's not smthing that people can't deny that they don't have the same equal level in skills. Which what created those distinctions. If they're not so important, they'd not have made those positions in the first place.
I understand that’s important especially when starting a group to establish positions. I more so meant as of rn to me bc I pretty much know for the most part where everyone stands with their positions and they’ve all grown so much. So I don’t feel the need to have to distinguish them that way in my head personally. Maybe if I was just learning a group it would be more important to know. Of course there were some new things I learned about them and their positions in the guide which is helpful tho. Idk if that makes sense
