I love creating for this channel however I do need some help to keep me going! They'll be award show reactions on there just for Patreons as well as some behind the scenes footage at some point because I have a TON of bloopers, I may do some personal reactions for comebacks myself!
Starting from only £1 a month! Thank you!
Hello everyone, welcome to Koko3op, (Yes, we are named after the EXO song as we are EXOL's at heart) a club night based in London however we are also content creators that will provide K-Pop lovers with reaction videos and many many more!

*PLEASE READ* !
We already had a great discussion on this community post th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhJnQDvhQFJzdnO1FS_L56KHXar2YIoSh (hope it works) regarding these lyrics so do not feel obliged to explain or be defensive over this video. I should've posted it then but I have a weird way of doing things lool.
Metaphor or not, they were taken as they were. Context regarding EXO's storyline and lore is irrelevant to the average listener who will take things face value and may find lyrics like that triggering, like in this care because such behaviour is not just exhibited by wolves or "monsters", we hear about these horrors in reference to regular men, daily.
Let's try and be more careful with recommendations in the future.
ALSO: The two performances were blocked so TH-cam automatically trimmed it so you can view it hence why large chunks of it are missing.
Other than that, can't wait to do more EXO with Elliotte in the future!

Omg the pre-debut teasers would amazing to show! Or the whole EXODUS concept teaser videos too.
Really wish you guys would have reacted to the whole performance regardless of the lyrics..its hands down one of their best performances vocally and the visuals are amazing. They really did great, and prove how versatile and unique of a group they are. Unfortunate we didn't get the reaction :(..their high notes...amazing 👏
@@cosmicgalaxystudio1539 I have to agree that the lyrics are not great and can be disturbing, but like you said there are songs that are way worse lyrically and straight up vulgar. I think like many comments have said, I think this song was meant for the performance and really to showcase how versatile EXO is. I think it is unfortunate she didn't look past the lyrics and appreciated the art of the performance...bc this could arguably be one of their top 10 if not top 5 performances.
for monster, the context is from the pov of a monster, it can be perceived as a fictional monster, like a wolf or a beast who will literally eat you or as a concept of a monster, depicting the toxicity. like i'm a monster you cant be with me because i'll mess you up if you look at it literally but if you look at it as a symbolism - it can be i'm someone who is toxic and undeserving of you, i'm bad for you.
same with wolf, wolf is actually from the xoxo album, which has the theme of fairytales, it's korean title is beauty and the beast/wolf. it's characterizing the pov of a wolf who fell in love with a human and if you know about those, considers them as their mate, which explains the obsessive and intense behavior. basically think of twilight but you're team jacob. lol
honestly if it's sm, most of their songs are more about other worldly concepts, concepts that are more from the fictional world. exo as a group also has the concept of aliens from exo planet. if you really look at exo title tracks, theyre mostly about love, toxic love, or cheer up and dance.
Okey , They have full context , that's why wolf never got criticism, because it was never a double meaning song ( EXO themselves cringe over the lyrics) this was more a laughstock in Korea , why? because of Twilight theme.
So the lyrics is between two wolf
1. Who fell in love with a human girl( Luhan), Later lost wolf power.
2. His other wolf friends, who are telling him , Human and wolf never can be in relationships , As a wolf , you should hunt her / kill her/ eat her .
You will say new fans won't know their storyline n all
See , EXO never promoted like a trend(that they will get famous over a song and will attract sudden new fans) even when they get famous for Growl in Korea , almost all of them knew EXO and their storyline , as you know they had most expensive debut that time.
But EXO is always promoted with their concept,Everything they did have connections with storyline, even their own public appearances ,For Wolf / Growl they literally had short dramas to summarize the storyline / concept of their parallel universe.So it wasn't a deep lyrics rather cringy twilight theme .
For Aespa , new fans won't suddenly understand neavis, Kawngya n all .It's more SM thing , they mostly focus on storyline rather then lyrics meaning.
That being said , EXO actually didn't liked wolf and opposed to release it but LSM decided to release it .
I think she could've turned off the subtitles for the video and watched it that way. As a performer, she could've focus on the performance they delivered on the stage, not the lyrics that were beyond EXO's control. Baekhyun said that when there was a Wolf vs Growl vote in the office, Growl won but LSM chose Wolf because he said they had to show their performance skills first. So the song is a performance song. It's unfortunate that she -as a performer- didn't see the remix and post remix part, especially since people were asking for reaction videos specifically for those parts.
Not defending the lyrics but I think we need to be more understanding of how Asia and kpop works. As rookies they don't have the privilege of choosing what they sing which is why Kris left exo due to lack of musical freedom. Baekhyun also mentioned that they were really worried when wolf was released.
SM lyrics sometimes based on their theory.. like in AESPA they put "Naevis sacrifice" in their lyrics cause it's on their storyline.. same as EXO.. they put that because EXO is a real wolf and alien in EXO's theory.. it's not that deep like a murderer case of a real human thing...
Y'all act you ain't never heard western hip hop and R&B, the lyrics straight up talk about s*x, gang ba*g, drugs, alchohol etc...
What about cardi b "wap" Lyrics? What about several of nicki Minaj's songs? People praise that type of sh*t when all it does is objectifies women. People need to grow tf up and accept the fact that songs do have lyrics like this.
@@stewieds4681 yes and people need to chill.
@@ygdrake4206 when u think about it, I agree tbh.... It's kinda a double standard😕
@@resurgingflame it is indeed a double standard.
One thing i love about exo that their stuff is so heavily rnb especially the 2nd album exodus. A no skip i tell u
what is love is exo pre-debut 2012 and that is my first exo song I listen and I become exo-l and beakhyun become my ult bias' mama and what is love are stil one of my favorite songs 🥰 tell me what is love 😊 i love that song and i love the power of our kyungsoo how he make exo members back up dancer and chen and beakhyun back up vocals ☺️
You must play her the full version of What is Love with D.O ft Yoo Youngjin.
It's songs like What Is Love and Tell Me What is Love that EXO-L's expected D.O.'s solo album to be more R&B than what is was. It was still great though and hopefully we can get more of this R&B still from him and EXO in the future
l love EXO 💘 💕 💗
I love D.O's voice and fantastic run ~😍😍😍
Need. More. EXO. 😭😭😭
Yess and yesss
D.O omg, I love D.O and his voice ufffff
I missed her reaction to EXO about the lyrics u have already discussed in community post earlier. Thank u so much for the reaction ❤
What is love is from 2012 i still remember when first time heard this song from radio when their debut
More EXO, I love EXO forever 🙏❤️😍😍 oooh I Miss then😭😭
EDIT: I understood what was written in the community post, but still think there’s been misinterpretation. I was shocked specially when she mentioned Ted B, like… what? And I thought the creator of the channel checked the songs or videos before the reactors >< maybe should consider doing so.
An average listener wouldn’t really care to read lyrics but listen first, and when it comes to a foreign language if you want to know the meaning of the lyrics, gotta look for more than one translation.
“I don’t eat pork, but I love Bacon” LOUDER!!
Do Kyungsoo is just incredible in every sense. He is one of the few vocalists who can make your heart flutter and cause a storm of emotions. He manages his deep voice and sweet timbre with such ease that the same part can sound completely different "starting very roughly and ending unrealistically gently". Kyungsoo's unique voice gives each song a unique charm. I'm ready to listen to his voice as much as I want.! Even when Kyungsoo just speaks, he wants to listen and listen to endlessly, such a pleasant voice.
PLEASE REACTION TO: D.O SOLO ALBUM "EMPATHY". D.O OST "CRYING OUT". D.O OST "DON'T WORRY". D.O MV "ROSE". D.O MV "THAT'S OKAY". D.O MV "TELL ME WHAT IS LOVE". D.O AND CHEN "WERE THE TIME". D.O AND RYEWOOK "MISSING YOU". D.O, SUHO, BAEKHYUN PERFORMANCE "MY ANSWER".

D.O AND CHANYEOL COVER "BILLIONAIRE".
Yessssss I missed her so much!! 🥹💓💓💓
As i had said earlier under the community post which mentioned abt the lyrics of these songs, it does comes down to subjective opinion(probably) of how we interpret the lyrics. I am not saying that your interpretation of it is wrong or mine is right but ssly, i never had once thought it in a way it was mentioned and i had completely related it in an abstract way which is different to what some of the ppl think.
im sorry but that's not that deep both songs where composed by a female writer and she uses fantasy stuff on her lyrics and i think it is for portrait a toxic relationship. if you compare to the lyrics that they write is literally the opposite of all that and that time they did not have that power in the label to not do it so idk
and no to excuse but bro in western music the lyrics are even worse so idk why y'all picking so much in this. the songs where made in 2013 and 2015 like that's not for all that
i love monster lyrics
Yup. Lyrics are definitely problematic. Reminds me of Robin Thicke 😪 Love the song, hate the lyrics. What to do?
On another note. I’d love to see her react to Chanyeol’s rendition of Coldplay’s Sky Full of Stars and anything else from his film “The Box”.
Thank you for this reaction btw. Missed you tonnes! 😘
AAAAAAA OMG MY BIAS.
I LOVE D.O. VOCALS.
I LOVE D.O. DANCE.

Yoo young jin style is always ATE!!
EXO is my very first and only favorite band in the entire K-POP industry and baby Kyungsoo "D.O." is my very first and only bias in the entire K-POP industry. Or rather, it was love at first sight, of course all the members are unrealistically talented beauties, but it was baby D.O. who attracted my attention as soon as I saw him
for the first time.

I thought maybe next reaction to EXO or other singers make it less talking as long as the song or MV's play, because all the parts in MVs or songs have their own stories...thank you for reacting to EXO songs and MVs.
throwback and RnB exo has hitters 1:34 the way baekhyun was vocalizing right there was so nice and 2:42 kyungsoo as well
Thank you for reacting to Exo
Yes Byun Baekhyun is ma man, the best, the king 👑
thanks for giving us more EXO reaction...hope you will check out too with her BAMBI by Baekhyun. and HURT by Seo Moontak and Baekhyun collab. thanks a lot!!!
She got me on Fantasia hair. HAHAHHAHAHAHA
EXO KINGS AND LEGENDS OF K-POP
FOREVER ETERNA-A FACT THAT HAS NO LONGER NEEDS ANYONE'S APPROVAL.
EXO is my very first and only favorite band in the entire industry. It doesn't matter how many more years pass, EXO were, are and will be Kings of K-POP, Kings of Vocals, Legends and Discoverers of the 3rd generation. EXO, even after 10 years of career, are the most popular, sought-after and highly paid SM group. Yes, because they are their best band in the history of the company. EXO is the only band with such a variety of high-quality music, choreography and visual effects.
PLEASE REACTION TO EXO PLANET #4:
GROWL. THE EVE. KO KO BOP. FOREVER.
PLEASE REACTION TO EXO PLANET #5:
24/7. TEMPO. DAMAGE. GRAVITY.
Its funny to me that they would take exception to the lyrics of a song that was written years ago and that they can be interpreted depending on the listeners when there is literally songs currently being played on the radio that talk about dirtier things yet are hailed as ‘unique and revolutionary’ 😂
Spent all that energy and zero googling on what the context was for the song 😂 At this point with all the woke issues she raises, I'm convinced she would boycott Vampire Diaries because attacking humans for blood is non-consensual 😂😂
Lyrics of Monster and Wolf are written by Kenzie, by woman. It's connected to their storyline. There's whole film about it. Similar to Twilight. You literally focused on lyrics and missed how amazing the performances were...
Yes. If lyrics happen to get in the way it makes it harder to enjoy the performance.
It's that simple and what happened on this occasion.
@@Koko3op with whole respect to your opinion, Korean didn't take those lyrics offensive. In Wolf case, they were rookies and several times talked about how they didn't want to release it, but SM CEO said the last word. You don't know how kpop industry work especially when second and third generation idols debuted.
AAYYEEEEE EXXXOOO
I was excited to see her reaction... but she was too biased and talked during the other members. skipped so many parts! at this point it was not a reaction.
great reaction, honest pov imo
Yay exo!! It's been so long!!!
solo son canciones y eso no las hace cancelables, hay muchos artistas que si han abusado y golpeado sin embargo aun son escuchados y aplaudidos, realmente espero que los tenga cancelados
NOT THE FANTASIA HAIR 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you check out Suho's Hurdle and Grey Suit...???
I think it’s a healthy conversation to have. A lot of songs back then had this really weird theme or possessive men over women. Which, I want to say is a cultural thing in Korean entertainment. Ex: Korean dramas having the aggressive / jealous male lead that fans eat up and really this only started being pointed out as an issue in recent years. I never liked Wolf, lyrics aside. I say this as an EXO fan - it’s healthy to point out when you don’t like something or feel something is wrong. It’s valid. That being said What Is Love is everythinggggggg
Lest remaind you guys EXO live preferences is thousands times more better then MVs
The lyrics for Wolf make me sort of uncomfortable too. And yes, this is a contextual issue, as mentioned in your post. However, SM has never done anything with consideration for international fans, or the casual listener, especially when it comes to EXO. They are a storyline driven group, and there is a reason for most of what they do. Without the lyrics on the screen, this would simply have been about the performance, and to be honest, that is all it should have been about. I understand why she was upset, since the lyrics were there, and your eye can't help but see them. I would recommend not including lyrics on future videos, just for situations like this. There are only a select few songs where the lyrics really are essential to fully appreciate the song/dance/performance, such as Promise, or Lights Out, or other fan songs like that. Title tracks...the only one they are relevant for, is MAMA (and even then, they aren't essential).
But that was not the full version of Tell me what is love😕 please react to full version with lyrics🙏
I personally enjoy this short version. It highlights all his best parts 😍😍😍 but yes the original is great
The funny thing about this whole Wolf lyrics thing...
...is that you're absolutely right about the things you're bringing up (which are still very relevant in S. Korea today), but at the same time I don't Wolf is about that at all, BUT at the same time Wolf has some of the worst, most notoriously cringe-worthy lyrics in kpop.
It's like you're trying to hammer a square peg into the wrong hole, but the wrong hole also happens to be square-shaped so it kinda works out anyway even if it's not exactly the thing.
Edit: Sorry, I didn't mean this to come off critical of your reaction. I actually very much enjoyed it and thought your were on point! I just found this dichotomy amusing.
Kyungsoo / D.O. 🙂
I love her reviews!
I think her bias might be Baekhyun. Just a wild guess 😂
bruh they ended it before the best part
Every time I think, 'Nah, she's not going to ruin the reaction by nitpicking on something and turning it into a woke argument instead of just Googling it', she proves me wrong lmao 😂😂
No offense, sis, but I'm going back to skipping yours - here for good vibes only 😂😂
Yup as always monster+ wolf lyrics are problem. Have caused controversy many times.
😔😔😔
I love and respect y’all for including the discussion on those lyrics and leaving them on to determine whether or not to continue reacting, especially as such themes could be triggering for viewers who may have gone and looked it up themselves with no heads up. Message & theme are just as important in art as performance or execution, and I imagine the reason people are so comfortable separating a part of a song as integral as THE LYRICS from the finished work is because it’s the foreign part, which… yikes 😬. No one should be chastising you because you didn’t ignore the parts of you that were deeply bothered by this for the sake of commentary on songs nearly 6 and 10 years old. As a professional and as a reactor, y’all input is always greatly appreciated no matter what it is or how you reach it. 🙏🏽
Wow Kali thank you so much! I appreciate this!
