EXO is the gold standard book for K Pop. And until now most all idol rookie will cover EXO songs.

Growl is the Korean national anthem. Those who don't know Growl don't know K-pop.😊

“Growl” is such an iconic song that many rookie and K-pop idols often cover it. It’s so famous in Korea that there’s a saying: If you don’t know ‘Growl,’ you must be a spy😂❤. One more thing Growl is a One take video.

The performance version of EXO's "Growl" is a one-take video, which means that it was shot all in one take without any cuts or edits. However, although it is a one-take video, this does not mean they used the very first take, it just means that every time anyone made a mistake, they had to start all over again from the very beginning. While filming this MV they had to dance the choreography about 7 times and this was the take the director and producer decided to use. They actually danced this choreography for the filming of this MV until they physically could not do it anymore. But not even this take was technically "perfect." If you notice, Kai (EXO's main dancer) drops the hat in the middle of the dance in the Korean version and he smoothly bends down and picks it up. (The stealing of the hat is actually part of the choreography.) As you saw, Kai needed the hat at the end. But because it was done so effortlessly that most people don't even notice the mistake, or assume it's just part of the choreography, the director and editors decided to use this footage anyway. And if you watch the Mandarin version, if you look closely, you will see Suho (EXO's leader) steps on Sehun's foot and Sehun (EXO's youngest member, a main rapper and dancer) swats him as if to say, "hey, watch out.". :D. Fun fact: Those aren't just suits that they are wearing. Those are individualized school uniforms. The unaltered versions would be what Korean students would wear when attending school. What makes EXO's uniforms special is that no two uniforms were the same, each member has their own version. (Although school uniforms have been the norm for most girl groups as a concept since the beginning, EXO was one of the very first boy groups to use the concept in their MVs. And after "Growl" was released, almost all boy groups that came after them have had at least one MV where they wore school uniforms as part of the concept for the song.) In the beginning of the performance MV, they start out by showing 6 of the members, and as the camera spins around, we see the other 6 members. In the Korean version, we see the EXO-K (Korean) members featured first in the two groups, and if you watch the EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese) version, you will see the EXO-M members featured more prominently. (Anything that takes place before 2014, you will see all 12 original members involved.) However, what is even more impressive about "Growl", is the fact that they filmed 4 versions of the "Growl" MV, so not only did they have to perfect the dance in the Korean performance version, but they also had to do it again in the Mandarin version and then again in both the 2nd MV versions. And it wasn't like they could use the same footage, because the Korean and Mandarin versions aren't exactly the same -- the EXO-M and EXO-K members had different parts in each of the MVs -- so that just adds another element to this. EXO actually filmed 5 different videos for the song "Growl." There is still one more video that was released as part of their "Wolf" and "Growl" promotions. There is a drama video that combines their two songs "Growl" and "Wolf" and it's like a mini K-drama that is more like a movie or TV show with a complete story and the members playing characters. Here is a link to the full "Growl" and "Wolf" drama version, kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXemp42LiNOoq9U. Plus, there are several iconic live performances of "Growl" as well. If you notice, the camera movements are actually part of the choreography, because the camera is another character in the performance. Just like in EXO's "Wolf" and "Call Me Baby" MVs, etc., the camera is supposed to represent the girl that they are singing to. So that is why they are looking at the camera so intensely because they are trying to get the girl's attention. They are each trying to impress her with their moves. If you look up the English translation of the lyrics you will see that EXO are pretty much acting like a wolf or beast that can no longer control themselves around the girl, and they are warning her to be careful because all she does is make them want to growl and grab her and possess her, etc. "I’m warning you just in case (listen carefully) It’s dangerous now (so dangerous) Stop provoking me (there’s going to be trouble) I don’t even know myself ... My breath keeps on stopping You walk towards me You smile at me Maybe you’re attracted to me too .... A dark shadow has woken up inside of me Sparks fly in my eyes as I look at you Everyone step away from her (step away) It’s going to get fierce from now on I’m growling, growling, growling I’m growling, growling, growling I’m growling, growling, growling If you don’t back away then I don’t care if you get hurt ..." etc. EXO got so good at this choreography that they were able to perform the whole thing live on award shows and music programs just like they did in the MV, all while singing live as well. You should also check out their Beauty and Beast performance at the 2013 MAMA awards to see how impressive they perform the full "Growl" choreography live, kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5TUnZKKa6uWb8U. "Growl" and their one-take performance is what launched EXO into superstardom and it's what made them the most popular group in Korea. It's one of the reasons why the government has given EXO the title of Korea's national boy group. However, "Growl" came out in 2013, about a year after EXO debuted, and up until that point EXO wasn't very well known or popular. When they first debuted, many people called them "SM's biggest mistake." Because the concept of them being aliens from Planet Exo and the fact that they were designed specifically to debut in both Korea and China and several foreign Chinese members were chosen specifically to make up their own sub-unit, etc., many people had a hard time understanding how EXO would ever be successful. The group started out being branded as SM's first failure, and they thought Lee SooMan (the founder of SM) was crazy for coming up with the group. But when the one-take video for "Growl" was released, everyone began to take notice. This video was pretty groundbreaking, no group had done a one take video quite like this and it proved to the mainstream audiences that SM really did know what they were doing. Now everyone in Korea and around the world knows EXO and they have become one of the most popular groups that are one of the biggest money-makers for SM. "Growl" has become what they are most known for. "Growl" is nicknamed South Korea's second national anthem, so you may start to notice that you hear it used everywhere. It's played all over the place and is used as background music, etc. in a lot of things. It's one of EXO's biggest hits. It wasn't just popular back then, it's still very popular now. "Growl" is one of the most covered songs by trainees and rookies and it is used on almost every trainee survival reality competition, etc. I'm sure you've heard this song and didn't even realize it at the time. You pretty much can't be a fan of Kpop and not have heard "Growl" before. It's one of the most popular Kpop songs to exist. EXO even performed this song, along with their song "Power," at the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in 2018, and both songs were Olympic theme songs that could be heard at venues and events throughout the games that year. EXO was the only Kpop group to be asked to perform at the Olympics that year, which just goes to show you how influential and popular they have become.

This song is legendary, it was so huge in 2013 and made EXO known widely. They even said that if you don't know Growl then you're a spy🤣 Key from SHINEE also said that it built an SM building🤣 it's covered by so many groups esp. rookies and trainees, I think ATEEZ also covered it before, so maybe that's why you've heard it before. Anyway, thank you so much for reacting to EXO!

I think Ateez cover this song too. Almost all new idol groups male or female cover this song, even a new 3rd generation like NCT cover it too. This is how huge this song is, no other song bigger than Growl, even Monster or Tempo or even Obsession, best song in 2019 according to Billboard who voted it. Even today EXO is still huge, but being low key this time, since exols grows with them. Others think EXO us slowing down it's what they think, but every time they have come back, have concerts or even fan meetings, u can still see their power, especially their solos are always successful. I don't think there's a band or group will be like them in the 3rd generation history of Kpop industry or in Asia's history. Only one and only EXO in the music history of kpop, especially with 3 main vocalist in the group and all vocalist, why they called them a Vocal Kings and the Nation's Pick. No one else but EXO. They're not worldly, but universally, why? They have an album War and Universe and Baekhyun has Hello World! And the very first big tour in Asia, Baekhyun's Asia Solo big Tour for more than 30 Asian countries and it's cery very big tours for a Solo idol singer with the name of Baekhyun, the Genius Idol!!!

Growl has been covered by maaaaaaany idol groups. Boys and girls. This song is a Korean legend. EXO is the original artist. Kai dropped his hat by accident, but gracefully picked it up, because the video was shot in one take, and Kai didn’t want to mess up and start over.
