Fun fact: Kai is doing the Monster choreo in Lucky One
If you are trying to understand what is happening in "Lucky One," you have to be aware of what was happening in some of their other MVs. I think the story in "Lucky One" takes place right after the story in their "Overdose" MV.
In "Overdose" they were trapped in the maze by the Red Force and the maze caused them to be disoriented and prevented them from using their powers at full strength. Somehow the maze lowered their defenses, which allowed the Red Force to capture them and take them to the lab where we see them in "Lucky One."
I think sometime between when the "Overdose" MV ends and "Lucky One" begins, the Red Force transferred EXO from the rooms we see them in "Overdose" to wherever they are in "Lucky One." As we discovered at the end, they are all still within the same maze. Therefore, the story in the "Lucky One" MV has to do with the fact that they have been captured by the Red Force and are being held against their will in a lab where the Red Force are trying to do experiments on them, in order to figure out what makes EXO different, or to figure out how to control them, or to figure out how to prevent them from having their connection to the Tree of Life, or maybe, even figure out how to clone them like we see has happened in their "Obsession" MV, etc.
They are each using their powers, such as Chanyeol using his power of fire, D.O. makes the windows break with his power of force, Chen zaps the women with his power of electricity, Kai teleports from room to room and Suho uses his power of controlling water to try and reverse the chemicals from entering his body from the IV bag, etc.
We also see D.O. struggling as he tries to use his super strength to break free from his restraints when he is lying in the bed.
In the Korean version, we see Suho trapped in that room that looks like it is filled with smoke, but because Suho has the power to control water, I think the room is really filled with steam or fog and the Red Force is experimenting with ways to get rid of his powers, etc. And, if you watch the Mandarin version, you will see Xiumin trapped in that room. Xiumin is a member of EXO-M and he has the power to control snow/ice/frost, which makes him Suho's power counterpart and gives him some of the same natural elements when it comes to their powers.
We see Xiumin create a drinking glass made out of ice that Suho fills with water for them to drink from as they try to escape. As far as I know, this is just showing that they still have the ability to use their powers. It also may give them strength to continue because the are accessing their powers.
As the members are working to escape, you see Baekhyun struggles to summon his power -- which is the ability to control light -- because he was given a darkness poison. The black liquid you see the nurse lady inject into the IV was attached to Baekhyun and it is thought they were injecting him with darkness to stop his ability to control light, which causes him to quickly sit up in bed as he is awakened from his drugged sleep state. If you notice, when Baekhyun is trying to break out and he is standing in that dark room with Chanyeol, Chanyeol has to use his power of fire to light the way, because the theory is that Baekhyun is unable to access his power of light due to the drugs that are currently in his system.
Chanyeol has red hair in this MV because it's connected to the fact that he also has red hair in EXO's "Monster" MV. I have a feeling his red hair is an indication that he may not be the EXO version of Chanyeol, but he could be the X-EXO alter ego clone created by the Red Force, or the Red Force could be controlling him in order to infiltrate EXO and gain secrets, etc.
The women are robots, and they are part of the Red Forces' arsenal -- that is why you see them wearing those red visors. This explains why Chen is able to electrocute them and they just fall down and stop working, and why they are able to explode their heads in a puff of smoke, etc. Sehun controls wind, so he was able to use wind to push the robots over and deactivate them, etc. Because they are using their powers, they don't have to touch them to defeat them.
In EXO's MVs when you see red light or anything that is red, this represents the Red Force, and when you see blue light or anything that is blue, this is thought to represent EXO. Therefore, when you see red and blue in one scene, or purple -- red and blue mixed together make purple -- this is showing how the line between the two sides is being blurred and they are fighting each other, etc.
Lay was able to use his power of healing to deactivate the robot woman because he tricks her into short circuiting by getting her to focus on the beauty of the flower. Lay has the ability to heal anything that is living -- including bringing flowers back to life. :D
Chen's image is being projected on the movie screen behind him because some theories think that this connects to EXO's "Love Shot" MV, as well as their "For Life" MV. In "Love Shot" we see the members in a movie theater and they are in a trance staring at the movie screen. We think whatever is being played on the movie screen is connected to the Red Force. It is thought the Red Force is using the movie to keep the members brainwashed and incapacitated so they don't try to fight back and escape from the maze that they are trapped in. And you see Suho being controlled by the images on the movie screen in their "For Life" MV, etc. (Now we even think it could be connected to the scene with Chen and Xiumin in the theater in EXO's new "Let Me In" MV.)
You see Kai with those dance breaks because, one of the theories is, it's his job to distract the robots so the other members have a chance to use their powers, and it gives them time to figure out how to escape.
If you pay attention to Kai's dance, you might notice that the dance he was doing in "Lucky One" was the choreography to "Monster." As you can see, this was a little Easter egg that SM used to give us secret clues that make connections between the two MVs. "Lucky One" and "Monster" are from the same album and both MVs were released back-to-back. However, there are subtle things in all of EXOs MVs that, if you are paying close attention, you will see things that are hidden messages and clues that give nods to other moments in other MVs.
"Lucky One" and "Monster" are from EXO's Ex'Act album and the MVs were actually both released on the same day, June 9, 2016. So, they were the two songs that were promoted together.
Everything EXO does has something to do with their storyline and their origin story, including every single one of their MVs, most of their sub-unit MVs, Solo MVs, live performances and choreography, as well as teaser videos and concert VCRs. Nothing is random or done without a specific purpose and meaning and it's our job as fans to piece it all together.
However, most of the time the story in the lyrics of the song is separate from the story in the MV. EXO's songs are about being in love with a girl or wanting to be with a girl, but their MVs are about them battling the Red Force and about telling the next piece of their storyline.
What makes EXO even more complicated, is you have to view their MV as loosely based around their song lyrics, but also separate. Just as their storyline is thought to be based on the fact that each comeback may be a different dimension or era of EXO's story, you also have to analyze their story in the lyrics of their songs separate from the story in the MV, but be prepared to make connections between the two as well. (I know, confusing, right?)
Even though you don't see any choreography in the "Lucky One" MV, they have choreography that goes with the song. Because they promoted with this song on music shows, they had to have a dance. If you haven't yet, check out a live performance of "Lucky One" to see the choreography and to hear how they sound even better, and are even more impressive, live.
Red haired mullet Baekhyun!❤️
I love EXO!🥰❤️❤️❤️
🥰🥵
Regarding your question as to why Chen is playing with electricity during Ko Ko Bop, it's part of his superpower: Thunder and Lighting. All the boys are playing with their powers in that MV, Suho in the water, Xiumin playing with ice in a glass, Kai's dancing is a part of his teleportation/movement power, D.O's head breaks the earth, etc etc
Lucky One is super creepy to me still (one my fav reactors called the setting a "sleek murder facility") and again their ways of attempting to get out of the Red Force android army control is to use their powers (or at least a visual reminder of their powers).
P.S. In case no one mentioned in before, you are not going to find subtitles on SM videos until 2019. That's just when they started adding those on the regular.
Kai dancing his way out of danger because they couldn't find a way to incorporate his a way to "fight" using his teleportation superpower is never not going to be hilarious and a fandom meme. Don't worry, you can laugh at it, just like the rest of us do. He's literally fighting with dance...And yeah, KoKoBop was DEADLY. It looks so bright and fluffy and fun, but then....BAM. The other option for title track on the War was The Eve, so just be glad that one didn't get an MV...people would actually have died. You guys watched the Eve dance practice, right? I can't remember if you did or not. You should definitely watch one of their live stages of The Eve, if you haven't.
Kokobop Era is forever Legendary, just like every single one of their comebacks. Lucky one came up the same year as monster Double Title Track EXO hates The choreography for lucky one They say it hurts because of so many Movement. And it's cool to see 2016 And 2017 Exo had the best selling albums of the year. I can't wait until they return this year And When they are a full group again In 2025. Kai Returns in february and sehun in September.
I believe the Ko Ko Bop expression especially after seeing the outfits and choreo (Xiumin and Sehun were particular problems for me), is "I'mma shimmy shimmy ko ko bop myself right off a cliff😂!" Lucky One tho is my fav Exo title track, love its funky sound. Also Kai fending off the evil Red Firce nurses with the power of dance never made any sense bc his power is teleportation, the most useful power for escaping 😂
To understand the story in EXO's "Ko Ko Bop" MV, you have to connect the story in "Ko Ko Bop" to the story in their "Lucky One" MV. "Ko Ko Bop" may look trippy and crazy, but if you understand EXO's storyline you will see that everything was done for a specific reason.
According to the members, Ko Ko Bop is an infectious, happy dance. Hence why it's called Ko Ko BOP. I see it as they are happy to now be free from the Red Forces' control (or happy to be alive), so they are letting loose and dancing. (It can't be about drugs because that would be highly scandalous and it could never be played on the radio or seen on TV, etc. in Korea. Or, at the very least, it has to have more than one meaning, just like "Lotto".)
There are 8 members in "Ko Ko Bop." This MV came out in 2017 and it was the first MV where Lay, EXO's Chinese member, was unable to participate because of the political issues between the Korean and Chinese government at the time.
I can see how people might think that Ko Ko Bop is a drug they are all taking and that is why they are acting like they are high and kind of in a loopy drugged-like state. But to really understand what is happening in "Ko Ko Bop," you have to know what was happening in their "Lucky One" MV. As you just saw, in "Lucky One" EXO has been captured by the Red Force who is doing experiments on EXO to try and figure out what makes them special, and to find a way to prevent them from finding and protecting the Tree of Life, etc. The members all use their powers to escape from the government facility and this is where theories say that the story in "Ko Ko Bop" picks up right after they have escaped in "Lucky One".
The blue Ko Ko Bop drink that Suho mixes and the members drink -- which I now think is connected to the blue drink we see Kai drinking in their "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV and the blue drink that we see everyone drinking in their new "Cream Soda" MV -- and the pills or wafers you see them eating, was originally thought to be an elixir that is helping the members to detox from the drugs the Red Force gave them when they were being held against their will in the "Lucky One" MV.
Remember, blue represents EXO and red represents the Red Force. When you see red and blue lights flashing in the same scene that's usually thought to represent a moment when EXO and the Red Force are in conflict or they are fighting with each other, etc. So that's why we think the blue drink is something good that is meant to help the EXO members.
According to SM the story in "Ko Ko Bop" also shows the members soon after they have arrived on Earth and they are all experimenting with their powers.
That is why in "Ko Ko Bop" we see Kai with the power of teleportation using his power to levitate and we see him do the "treadmill" move next to the car. Suho, with the power to control water, jumps into the water and disappears, and later appears inside the washing machine, etc. Xiumin has the power of snow/ice/frost, so he is using his power to create a cloud to fill the glass. Sehun uses his power to control wind to make objects float in the air. D.O. accidentally uses his power of strength/force and splits open the ground when he falls down. We see Chen with the power of thunder/lightning/electricity playing with his power. Baekhyun uses his power of light as he throws the ball in the air and creates that huge flash of light, and Chanyeol uses his power of fire to create the fireworks when he bounces the ball into the sky. The car also looks like it's driving by itself because they are using their powers to control the car, etc.
Their unbridled use of their powers and the haphazard way they play with their environment around them can be explained by the fact that they were drugged in "Lucky One" and while they are still dealing with the drugs in their system, in "Ko Ko Bop" their inhibitions are lowered and they use their powers without caution.
Those tattoos we can see are fake, but like everything SM does, they aren't just random tattoos, they are specific images and messages as part of EXO's storyline.
So part of their story goes: The members were trapped in the maze by the Red Force in their "Overdose" MV and while they were trapped, they were captured and moved to the lab in "Lucky One" and after escaping in "Lucky One" we see them detoxing in "Ko Ko Bop."
However, since then, we now have more information after EXO's "Obsession" MV part of the story was released. In "Obsession" we discover that the Red Force has created X-EXO clones. So, some theories now think that instead of "Ko Ko Bop" being about the EXO members, it might be showing us X-EXO. In "Obsession," the members in the bright colors with the crazy hair and makeup were the X-EXO clones and the members in the all-black outfits were EXO. So now some theories think that maybe because "Ko Ko Bop" is so colorful, that it is showing us X-EXO right after they were brought to life, and this is their first time out in the world. So, X-EXO are playing with their powers and trying to figure out how they work, and they are getting acclimated to their environment, etc.
But, as you can see, to make it even more difficult to follow the story, nothing is in chronological order. As fans we have to become detectives and analyze everything that EXO does in order to try and figure out where each piece fits within the larger storyline. Although, at this point, it's only theories and educated guesses. With every new release from EXO it adds another piece to their story. Sometimes that new piece helps to confirm what we thought was happening and other times it turns everything on its head and we realize that what we thought was happening wasn't even close. We can only hope that someday SM will finally explain everything, so we will know whether what we have been thinking all along is correct.
Can you please do more Exo live performances? Through the years, you will see how good they were Then and now. And if you ever need more questions about EXO just Ask EXO-L
EXO said they hate lucky one choreo but in concert they dance like there is no tomorrow 😂
You should do Baekhyun kokobop fancam 😁
You both honeys have forgotten Exo has powers? 😂 Okay the reason Chen is playing with electricity is because that's his power. They're being experimented on in Lucky One, they do manage to escape but can't fully use their powers hence why some members have to rely independently on themselves or on each other. The maze they're stuck in towards the end of Lucky One is the same maze that they talk about in Overdose. In Overdose they even talked about:
Oh she wants me
Oh she's got me
Oh she hurts me
좋아 더욱 갈망하고 있어
Someone call the doctor 날 붙잡고 말해 줘
사랑은 병 중독 overdose
That's why when they escaped, they're still trying to detoxify in Kokobop.
PLs react to live performances of exo , nobody beats it , i mean nobody
You guys should reaction live performance lucky one, pleasee!!
And lucky one too is so good
I Love Head Bob choreo in Lucky One and kokobop choreo is just🤌✨
Fyi... It's not pronounced unvillage, it's U.N. Village, as in the United Nations. It's an upscale neighborhood in Seoul that used to have a lot of embassies located in it, hence the U.N.... 🌠the more you know! 😂
Lmfao I really hate the Lucky One mv but the song slaps 😂
