Chef's Kiss! | EXO 엑소 'Tempo' MV | Reaction

[@ashleym5440]

Fun fact, they were playing around in the studio with the acapella and it sounded so good that they added it. Yes that is D.O the R&B King. His runs are so heavenly and as well he’s a killer actor with more than 20 awards.

[@jombaek6571]

YEAH THAT’S ONE OF THE REASONS THEY’RE THE VOCAL KINGS

[@EXOsNoona]

Yeah we weren’t lying when we said vocal kings 😘

[@Jaydeekatt]

So true boo 😉💕

[@EXOsNoona]

@@Jaydeekatt 👯‍♀️

[@sodabella]

Yup, that's D.O.! One of EXO's 3 main vocalists!

[@nymmechannel3446]

The vocal Kings of kpop! That's EXO for you flexing their vocals pulling an aca pella in the bridge of their song.

[@tatyanicktheone7387]

When you said that it's the most vocally oriented group at the very beginning all I could think is "wait till the a capella part, he he". And yes, the guy with incredible runs before the a capella is DO, he's usually noticed for his soulful tone and very deep runs and adlibs.

[@wtr0952]

D.O runs just too good... He's my ultimate bias in K-Pop

[@phinuknyn796]

He found D.O guys 🤣🤣 very subtle, you're in for a treat with his riffs n runs 😏

[@siisii8009]

Yes that's DO with the killing adlibs in the middle 😌

[@harleytolson3408]

Since you're in love with their vocals - ya need to check out their live acoustic set. Literally even the amazing rappers sing insanity. Also this is one of those bands that no joke, is ten times better live and I fucking love their actual songs and MVS. However this group is so talented they make these songs even better live!

[@keanmarkuscrizaldo8435]

Yes it our D.O/KYUNGSOO he is the adlib and run also rnb king🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@DG4eva]

EXO vocal kings... they only get better the more you listen. They always and I mean always serving vocals. That is DO with the amazing runs and adlibs. Can't wait for you to keep discovering their music.

[@aliyahdubose9858]

The best bridge in Kpop goes to…EXO cause this song never misses frl

[@mialai-carlson4169]

Thanks for another great reaction! Another Fun Fact: 2017 Exo sold out a concert, 66,000 tickets in .2 seconds, world record. In 2019 in 9 minutes, 976,283 tickets, all venues, all 22 days. Their Live performances are even better than the MV's. 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@onewsfalsetto9439]

my old ass kpop stan heart is thriving on the shinee and exo reactions. /rubs hands together... now to suggest infinite.... the eye, chaser, bad.

[@milindawilson9175]

The song is called "Tempo" and the album is named Don't Mess Up My Tempo, so, the tempo is intentionally a prominent part of the song. I think the tempo is also supposed to mirror the uncertainty and unsteadiness that EXO are feeling within the storyline in the MV and be the driving force spurring them on in the story. However, if you read the lyrics, you see that the song is talking to a girl and they are telling her, "Don't mess up my tempo." And yes, part of the tempo in the song is created by the squeak of what is thought to be bed springs. (The underlying theme of the song is a tongue and cheek reference to sexual innuendo.) However, as with everything EXO does, there are duel meanings depending on how deeply you want to interpret the song and MV. On the surface the song and MV is meant to be enjoyed by the casual watcher and listener like you would any song on the radio, but if you want to delve in deeper and explore EXO's storyline, then there is so much more going on. As an SM Entertainment group, for anyone who knows SM, it shouldn't be a surprise that EXO are amazing vocalists -- hence the a capella part in the song. That is just what SM is known for. All of SM's artists are outstanding singers. The aesthetic of the "Tempo" MV is centered around the color red because the setting is supposed to be depicting the members under the Red Forces' control. Without going into too much detail -- there is so much going on in EXO's "Tempo" MV that it's hard to grasp it all -- what fan theories think is happening in "Tempo" is it is showing the members of EXO all trapped in separate dimensions. Each of those rooms, could possibly be a different dimension and that is why you see the glitches and why you hear Xiumin and Baekhyun with that computerized voice, because they aren't all in the same place at the same time, so their voices are being distorted as they try to connect between dimensions, etc. They also still could be trapped in different rooms within the maze, like what we saw them in their "Overdose" MV. For several of EXO's MVs we believe they are still trapped within the maze and they are continuously trying to find their way out. The maze seems to affect their connection to their powers and it clouds their minds and dulls their senses, so not only are they fighting the Red Force and X-EXO, but they are also struggling to break free from the fog the Red Force has them in. That's why you see some of the members just lazily sitting around and kind of blankly staring off into space at times. Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in the MV and he is the one standing above everything looking down, so this is one example of where we think that maybe he is the only one who has avoided the Red Force's control and he is observing everything that is going on from the outside. You see Chanyeol -- main rapper -- being interrogated by Chen with the inkblot test and that is thought to be the members trying to figure out who are the real EXO members and who are the evil X-EXO members created by the Red Force -- or who are the real members and who are the clones. At this point everyone is suspicious of each other and no one can be trusted. As you may have noticed, halfway through the MV Chanyeol's eyes and hair change color, so some think that this is either showing two different versions of Chanyeol who appear in two different time periods or dimensions, or one is Chanyeol the EXO member and one is Chanyeol the X-EXO clone. Often, when you see a character in one of SM's MVs with blue eyes or different eye colors this usually means they are not who they appear to be. The silhouettes you see behind the lighted wall or box also could be connected to the silhouettes you will see when you watch EXO's live remixed version of "Wolf" in concert. The silhouettes could be representing the fact that EXO are battling with X-EXO for control. The "Chess game" is thought to be supernatural EXO chess, and I don't think it's a game they are playing, but I think maybe it's something they are using to try to decipher a clue or figure out a way out of wherever the Red Force has them trapped at the moment. It's unclear right now what that scene is really telling us, but I have a feeling things will become clearer in the future as more of EXO's storyline is unveiled in future MVs and as SM's SM Culture Universe storyline continues to evolve. You also see Sehun -- the other main rapper -- on the motorcycle in this MV, which I now think is connected to the scene where we see him driving a motorcycle in EXO's "Lightsaber" MV and sitting on the motorcycle in their new "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV. In the very last scene, that is Baekhyun with that cube. I am not sure what that means, but I am sure it's foreshadowing something to come in the future with EXO's storyline. Fun fact: EXO's Chinese member, Lay, is in this MV, but you won't see or hear him sing or dance because you watched the Korean version, and at this time, because of the political issues between China and Korea, the Chinese government only gave him permission to appear in the Korean version of "Tempo", but he wasn't allowed to participate in the song. If you want to hear Lay sing you will have to watch the Mandarin version. Nothing in this MV is random or done just because, even the smallest of detail has been planned out to either connect to something to do with EXO's storyline from past MVs or it will become a key part to help explain something in one of their future MVs.

Professor Malinda, you are truly ahhhmazingly gorgeous intelligent 😇🤓

[@Keke88]

I always love their harmonies but with such great lead vocalists like Baekhyun, Chen, Suho, Xiumin and D.O. - how can you go wrong?? Such a well-rounded versatile group.

[@abcdef-kf3my]

Tempo is a masterpiece honestly like how good can a song get than this.. vocals, harmonisation, acapella, runs and riffs, adlibs, high notes, lower registry 🔥🔥🔥

[@eleonorestuart4089]

EXO…my #1 favorite kpop group! Love them!

[@CitizenDK1]

My favorite part of this whole music video was when the instruments kind of cut off and they started to do a kind of a cappella/harmonizing thing.Looking forward to the guide. Also try Baekhyun's Un Village and SuperM One (Monster and Infinity).

[@Ca-yr2rz]

Omg you're D.O biased 🔥😌 so cool

[@NurAzizah-hc6il]

Well...That's why I love EXO. I finally found the best from the best, especially if it comes to vocal. Great vibe music, good looking faces and great dancer that are another bonuses. 6:14 : yes...he is D.O. (Do Kyungsoo) one of 3 EXO main vocalists Tempo was the song that make me become an EXO-L. Thank you for reacting to EXO.
