Yees!
First EXO Guide with exo history and introduction to each one of them. Then to know them more, react to thier individual profile and guide for more info and talent showcase, thanks!
Guys, thank you for the reaction. Please, react to EXO in Tokyo Dome "MAMA+Monster+Wolf". That's how you'll know why EXO sold 60+ thousand tickets in 0.4 and 0.2 seconds and hold Guinness World Record for these. They're so much better live! They actually sell CDs of their live concerts and I love them more than the polished studio version, although, let's be honest, EXO sound live just like the studio version.
PS. Japan stages tend to get blocked, you can blur the screen. Exol (EXO fans) literally know every second of their most iconic stages so we don't really need to see the screen to know who sings what, who smiles and winks 😅
They must watch mama mv first & wolf

The live version in MAMA + Monster + Wolf in Japan (not Seoul) is a must 😉

EXO never disappoints, studio and live versions ❤❤
Please do MAMA + Monster + Wolf remix in Japan ❤
Yesss, and on TH-cam not patreon!!
Just a FYI - As much as we the fans all love the version from Japan it nearly always gets blocked on YT.... so if you want to post on here some other reactors have added a filter etc to the video and that's worked. 👍 whatever you decide thanks for checking out EXO, I'm enjoying your journey 😊

Main Vocals Main Dancers Main Visuals of the whole damn industry! Nobody does it like them!!!
Since EXO were never promoted globally, english sub were only available in their 2018 mvs onwards. Japanese releases don't have subtitles too. Thank you for reacting to EXO.
My first ever kpop boygroup i stan back then 2013.. these guys are really versatile.. just name any genres, they'll kill it
I had a feeling you guys posted something great today so I came to check… I was right 😆😆
EXOOOOOOO❤️
THANK YOU for the reaction to my favorite song of EXO. Just continue reacting to them every single song is a masterpiece
Exo on top 👏🏻👏🏻🔥
EXO's "Monster" was released in 2016, so there are 9 members in this MV. Like everything EXO does, the story in the MV is another chapter in EXO's storyline and it explains a little more of what EXO is doing here on Earth.
As the English lines in "Monster" say ... They're "Creeping, Creeping Creeping .... Creeping in your heart babe" "You can call me Monster (because) I'm creeping in your heart babe." "She got me goin' crazy." The song's called "Monster," so the words are about acting like a monster: "Don't be afraid, love is the way ... I'm sorry, you make me sooo craaaazzzy, you know you dooooo."
Therefore, the floating watch and the car that is on fire in reverse, etc., I think -- on top of being a metaphor in the story -- also was supposed to be the members using their superpowers. And the snake, like a monster, mirrors the beat of the song, which kind of slithers like a snake as a metaphor for the way the guy slithers in and out of the relationship stealing warmth and affection from the girl, but in the end, leaving her cold and alone like a cold-blooded snake, etc. The snake is also red, which means that it most likely represents something to do with the Red Force.
However, if you look up the English translation of the lyrics, you will see in the song, the members are talking about a girl and they are telling the girl that "You can call me Monster" because I know I am bad for you and I will ruin you. I know that when we are over that I will have destroyed everything that is good about you, but I don't care because I want you so much that it doesn't matter to me. Which could be a metaphor for EXO's connection to the heart of the Tree of LIfe.
The woman in EXO's songs is often thought to be a metaphor and physical representation of the Tree of Life. That is why the members are always trying to save the girl or protect her, or they talk about being controlled by the power of the woman or they are worried about their passion destroying her, etc. It's EXO's job to protect the Tree of Life from the Red Force. EXO was sent to Earth on a mission to find the two halves of the tree and reunite them in order to restore peace in the world. The two halves of the tree -- EXO-K (Korean) represents one half and EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese) represents the other half -- were originally separated in order to keep the Red Force from gaining control. However, now, in order to fix all the things that are going wrong in the world, EXO needs to defeat the Red Force and find where the two halves of the tree have been hidden.
Therefore, the story in the "Monster" is all about EXO's origin story and about how they are trying to stop the Red Force from corrupting humanity, while also trying to find clues to where the Tree of Life is located.
Also, the majority of the choreography for "Monster" has to do with the members using their powers, so when/if you watch the dance practice and/or a live performance, if you know what you are looking for, you will see that each move is done for a very specific reason. The X they make to represent EXO is only the beginning of the story in their choreography.
For example, D.O. has the power of super strength, so during his part in the song and choreography you will see that he waves his hands and the other members are pushed away from him or pulled toward him. When you see Suho in the middle of the group and they have a hold of his arms, he rotates his body around like swirling water because Suho has the power to control water. Xiumin has the power to control snow/ice/frost, so during one part of the choreography you will see that each of the members pause as if frozen as he moves in front of them. You see Kai slide backward and forward into the center of the group while waving his arms to represent him teleporting. And when Chanyeol jumps over Lay, Sehun and Xiumin, this could be him using his phoenix fire wings to fly, or it could be showing him leaping over flames because his power is the ability to control fire. Sehun has the power to control wind, so during his parts, you will see the other members shuffle around him as if they are creating a windstorm. And when they sit on the ground with their one knee in the air and rotate their bodies, it's supposed to represent a sundial -- EXO gets their power from the eclipse and their powers are affected by planetary and solar phenomenon, so the sundial is meant to represent the passing of time and their connection to the sun. (Even some of EXO's comebacks were released on days when we had a real eclipse or other planetary phenomenon, etc.)
You should also make note that "Lotto" is a prequel to "Monster," so when you watch their "Lotto" MV, just keep in mind that what you saw happen in "Monster" is what is going to take place after or in conjunction with the events in "Lotto".
How "Monster" and "Lotto" tie into EXOs larger storyline is a little open ended, but because "Lotto" is thought to be the prequel to "Monster," I think the story starts out in "Lotto" where the members have somehow infiltrated this big gambling ring and are undercover as they work to uncover a clue or something they need in order to accomplish their tasks here on Earth. I think the underground gambling establishment is run by a gang of bad guys who are probably members of the Red Force.
"Lotto" is where we are introduced to a girl who is being held captive. And ultimately, I think what EXO are trying to do is rescue the girl from the Red Force, but they are trying to do it without blowing their cover or being found out. So, that's why you see in "Lotto," and continued in "Monster," the members are fighting against the police because the police have come in to take down the gambling ring and rescue the girl, which is also what EXO are trying to do. However, the members of EXO don't want to be discovered, so they play along as if they are part of the bad guys. EXO are supposed to be going about their tasks here on Earth incognito, and humanity is never supposed to find out about EXO, so they are trying to keep a low profile.
As we see in the end of "Monster," Baekhyun disguises himself as one of the police and helps the other members escape from the back of the police van before they are taken to jail and/or captured by the Red Force, etc. (However, if you look closely, the members who are in the back of the police van are dressed in red, so the ones who Baekhyun rescued may be X-EXO -- EXO's alter ego clones -- and not EXO like we originally thought. Although I'm not sure whether at this point Baekhyun realizes these aren't the EXO members. Or maybe Baekhyun is also a member of X-EXO. Just another giant mystery we have yet to solve.)
You also see Lay, EXO's Chinese member, crouched in the middle of what looks like a pile of people -- I'm not sure whether these are the FBI agents, or if these are members of the Red Force -- and I think he is checking to make sure they are OK and possibly trying to use his power of healing to fix things and heal the injured.
Because some theories believe that EXO are traveling between time periods and dimensions, I think in "Monster" they also might be showing how some of the members are arriving on scene at different moments in the timeline of events that are taking place in the MV -- the members don't necessarily arrive at the location together -- as explained in their Pathcode teaser videos leading up to their "Call Me Baby" comeback. For instance, in "Monster" you also see Kai standing on or near a giant pile of people as well, and he seems to be standing over them. Some have pointed to this as possibly showing evil X-EXO Kai, who has done something bad, but I think this may be showing good EXO Kai, who has just shown up at that moment, observing what has taken place. Because Kai has the power of teleportation, he is the one that is in charge of bringing the members together and traveling between time and space, so I think he has shown up from a different time or place and is now trying to figure out what has happened, etc.
In EXO's "Obsession" MV the members in the bright colored clothing with the crazy makeup and hair are supposed to be X-EXO -- EXO's alter ego clones who have been created by the Red Force -- and the ones in the black or dark colored clothing are supposed to be EXO -- the good guys. So, in the parts where they are dressed in all black in "Monster" I think this is showing EXO, and where you see them in the clothing with red accents, this might by showing X-EXO. At the time when "Monster" was first released, we had no idea about X-EXO's existence, but since "Obsession" -- which is one of EXO's more recent releases -- we have started to go back and reanalyze some of their older MVs, and it appears that what we thought was always EXO, may have been in fact X-EXO some of the time.
As you can see, EXO's story is always evolving and changing, and just when you think you have one part understood, SM introduces a new piece of the story and changes the direction of the narrative.
Also, in EXO's MVs when you see red light or red objects this is thought to be where the Red Force has control, and when you see blue light or blue objects this is thought to be where EXO has the upperhand. However, if you see purple or red and blue in the same scene this is when EXO and the Red Force are battling for control -- red and blue mixed together make purple.
Unfortunately, as you can see, what makes EXO's storyline even more difficult to follow is the fact that nothing is ever in chronological order. So, you really have to pay close attention to every detail, to even begin to make connections.
More EXO pls
React to EXO Cream soda MV behind and recording behind pls
Up!
up up!!
EXO!👑❤️ Thank you for the reaction. I'd be on patreon to watch the other videos.☺️
Awesome thank you!
You have to watch their concert performances, all of EXOL will recommend their live performances because that's the craziest.
You guys have to react EXO’s live performances, especially EL DORADO
the concept is related to exo’s lore, all exo’s mv and most releases even their concerts and live performances vcr are all connected to their lore. hope u can also check it out, i appreciated and enjoyed their releases not just because of the best vocals out there and crazy well pulled off dances and choreo, but creating theory is fun too
Masterpiece ❤ Exoooo
Great 👏🏻 keep posting more EXO please
Nice one exo👏👏
FYI: SM didn't start putting English subs on their MVs until 2018, so unless you happen to watch an MV that says it has been remastered, you won't find English subs on any of SM's MVs that were released before the middle-to-end of 2018. And if you click on the CC button and it says "English (Auto gen.)," this means these are subs that are designed for the hearing impaired and they only work on videos where they are speaking English. The way auto generated subs work is the computer listens to what is being said in the audio on the video and it attempts to interpret what is being said in English. Therefore, on a video like "Monster" where they are speaking in Korean, the computer is trying to find English words that sound like the Korean words that it hears, it's not translating the Korean lyrics into English. That is why the subs look like gibberish. However, if you were to click on the CC button and it just says "English," this means either the company or a fan has taken the time to translate what they are saying in Korean, or whatever language they are speaking, into English.
However, if you want to know what the song is about, just look up an English lyric video. There are lyric videos that have been created by fans for pretty much any Kpop song that has ever existed, and you can find videos that translate the song in almost any language a Kpop fan might speak. Therefore, it's not hard to understand what a song is about. Plus, what's cool about lyric videos is they usually are color coded so that you can see who is singing each line of a song, which may help you start to identify each of the members voices and help you to be able to get to know their role in the group even better. That way you will eventually be able to tell who is singing or speaking at any time without even having to see them.
This proves that EXO is not just vocally strong

Thank you, I really like your reactions. you should definitely watch Mama MV and Wolf MV. And then watch a live performance in Japan. This is a block of three parts: intro-Mama, MONSTER and WOLF remix. This is an unforgettable sight!
You must watch their live concerts... I swear you will loved them even more.
Okay you guys are just going down my playlist this week
Thank you very much for the reaction!
Also, I wanted to mention that I find it funny whenever you seem to be looking at each other but at the same time it looks like you are not actually in the same room. Today, the two men on the left both looked back at the same moment and I thought that this time you were behind each other. So I don't know, I always assume that you are filming remotely from each other hence seeing those details make me laugh every time.
You're right! We are at separate locations. It was Geos' idea for us. You look as if we're looking at each other at times.. and now it just feels natural. It's more of a habit now =)
"Monster | EXO Demo Lyrics *Fixed"...Please look up this video on youtube. It is the Demo of Monster in English. An American singer named Chikk sang it. The korean producer and writer of the song did a great translation.
They have superior discography
#EXO🔥🔥🔥
Monster is really a monster of a song🔥🔥🔥
king EXO❤❤❤
I'm wait for you'd react to live performance :)
Pure Genius!!
You guys must react their live performance too
Next EXO Guide, history and individual introductions.....thanks a lot!
I am amazed he saw the fire coming down as the theory for this MV is that it is being played backward. For the reason that Monster is the sequel of Lotto MV.
Please do "The Ultimate Guide To Exo" by Pastel Kookies. Learn about the members. 💙🌺
Monster Dance Practice:th-cam.com/video/e8q3OET5dwk/w-d-xo.html
In order to fully appreciate EXO choreography, I highly recommend checking out their dance practice videos. Unless your viewing live performances, in person, you miss so much due to camera angles and editing. Music videos focus more on the theme and often remove a lot of the choreography. Although, WE LOVE IT - I'm just referring to viewing the choreo in its entirety, because they are so good at what they do. 🌸
Enjoy! th-cam.com/play/PLx2283ZEdByUm88-5nLYRCYnEL8twcOel.html
