Two EXO Videos in one day?! Woohoo! D.O., Chen, and Baekhyun are the main vocalists of EXO for a reason. Everyone in EXO can sing and many of them can sing really well, but these three are just on another level skill-wise. They prove it during live performances, going well above and beyond what's expected. It's hard when all of EXO are so talented, but the Vocal Trinity are BEASTS!!! Miracles In December is the perfect example because it's just the three of them, and it's from 2013. They were basically Rookies at the time and started with that level of talent. I'm envious. Also, Lay is still part of EXO. He left the company, but not the group. Happy Holidays!!!
These three are indeed our very own Vocal Trinity. Thanks for giving us Exols not one but two Exo reactions, made our Christmas times more merrier. Have a good time you too Topher. Stay blessed! Just a small note as a reminder :) Exo is a 9 member group including Lay who is the only Chinese member left in the group. The other 3 members who left including Ztao are Chinese and since 2015 Exo is performing as 9 members and from 2018 as 8 members but Lay did made a return in their 2021 special comeback album "Dont Fight the Feeling". Even though Lay is no more a part of SM he is still an Exo and we love him for that. Thank you again Topher for taking out time to react to Exo..we share the same bias and I am so happy for it. 🥰💕
"Miracles In December" actually features the 4 main vocalists in EXO. If you haven't yet, you should check out the Mandarin version as well. If you have never heard the Mandarin version, then you are missing out on hearing Luhan's beautiful voice also. :D In the EXO-M version of "Miracles in December" you will see that Luhan sings instead of D.O. Luhan was one of the main vocalist in EXO-M. Chen and Luhan are both EXO-M members so they sang the Mandarin songs, and to round out the vocals Baekhyun subbed in as an EXO-M member. :D "Miracles in December" is part of EXO's winter comeback releases, so, as you heard, it's a ballad. EXO's winter albums are always their ballad albums. Up until the last few years EXO used to come out with 3 to 4 albums a year -- a summer album that was more of their mainstream hype songs and a repackaged album a few weeks later, and then, in the winter, they would release another album that was more of a holiday album and it was all slower ballad songs. But the last few years EXO's first comeback of the year hasn't been until the end of the year -- for example, Don't Mess Up My Tempo was released in November 2018 and the Obsession album didn't come out until November 2019. So, I guess, because the first album and repackage were released so late in the year, SM decided that releasing a winter holiday album would just be too soon after the other album. So we haven't gotten a new winter album for several years now. Which I think is a shame because EXO's ballads are really beautiful and I enjoy them almost more than their other songs. Now to explain what is happening in the story in the MV. If you notice, Xiumin was the one that made it snow. Xiumin has the power to control ice/frost/snow, so anytime something has to do with these weather elements they will focus on him. In the MV you see Xiumin in the red sweater and the black vest with the lapel pin that is shaped like EXO's logo. He steps outside and looks up at the sky and at that moment his pin shimmers and it begins to snow. It is thought that the members' powers are tied to their emotions, so when Xiumin is sad or melancholy, he almost can't help it, and he will make it snow. And, as you may have noticed, Tao is the one that turned back time and then instantly brought time back to the present again, because he has the power to control time. The snow was falling in reverse at one point because Tao was rewinding time. Then you see everything pause for a second and the snow starts falling down again when he brings everything back to the present. As you also probably saw, there was an eclipse. Eclipses affect the members powers and it is also where they gather strength, etc. So you will see them focus on an eclipse or something to do with the moon and sun, or other planetary phenomenon, in a lot of EXO's storyline. This even happens in live performances. You will see instances of them using their powers to control things that happen on stage during live concert performances. Suho makes it rain on stage, Xiumin will make it snow, Chanyeol will control fire, Chen will control the thunder and lightning, Baekhyun often makes the lights go on and off, etc. If you keep this all in mind when you watch any of their MVs or live performances, it's kind of fun to search for the instances where they are using their powers. In some MVs and songs the members use their powers more than others, but at least one member will use their powers in almost everything they do, it just might be more subtle sometimes than others. So this is just another element of EXO's performances that make watching them unique. "Miracles in December" is a kind of breakup song that is about how the holidays makes you nostalgic for that loved one that you are no longer with. It makes you remember all the good times and makes you wish you were together even though you know, deep down, you are better off now that you have broken up. All the gifts are supposed to be what they would have given to their girlfriends if they hadn't broken up before the holidays. I interpret the story as, "she" was a different girl for each of the members, and "she" was not meeting any of them, she was a memory of a past relationship that was no more. That's why Tao turns back time for a moment to relive being in the relationship, but then quickly returns to the present because he knows, deep down, he is better off and that you really can't go back in time and expect to fix everything in the relationship. That's why they are all sad and crying because they are heartbroken. I like to think, for example, that the puppy was probably going to be a present for Kai's girlfriend, but now that they have broken up, it just reminds him of her. it's kind of a bittersweet memory. :D The "miracle" is that the girl had such a profound impact on their life that, even though they aren't together anymore, she will always play a big role in his life history, etc. The "miracle" is that the holidays give you a reason to look back and reflect on those special moments in life, and even though the memories might make them sad because they are no longer able to make new memories together, the old memories are still there. And the "miracle" is that he has now realized she has taught him so much about love and life, but unfortunately, he has realized it too late and he can't go back, so he is sad. He's now upset because he is unable to show her the appreciation she deserves, etc., etc. If you look up the English translation of the lyrics you will discover that knowing what the lyrics are about gives you a different perspective on the song. And, if you like the studio version of "Miracles in December," just wait until you see them perform this song live. I think you will fall in love with it even more. :D
Let's be real, to this day I've never heard an exo song that I disliked . I may not have absolutely love a few but never dislike any, i don't think it's possible, all of them are such good songs, from lyrics to music to vocal etc.
Hi again, TOPHER! You can never go wrong with EXO even during the Christmas season. Their winter albums are an absolute must listen during this time of year (and at any time of year for that matter). EXO vocals will keep us warm and cozy! Actually, Christmas does not end on Dec. 25. It will be Christmas season until the Epiphany or Three Kings Sunday. 😍
If you loved this, you will absolutely LOVE EXO's What is Love

Chen, Baekhyun and D.O. are called the holy trinity of vocals in kpop. Thank you for the reaction!
That vocal trio is what makes exo next level. They are indeed main vocalists of exo.
Exo main vocals are inspiration to many 4th generation boys.
Stunning!!!! Took the words right at of my mouth 😃🤗
