EXO (3X REACTION) - "POWER" / "SWEET LIES" / "BOOMERANG" | REPACKAGED ALBUM REACTION!!!!!

[@rkdo9554]

Sweet Lies is my most favorite EXO song. Never fails to give me goosebumps.

[@DewdewDC]

Power is another of their power (sorry) songs - they sang it with Growl at the Winter Olympics and it was the first Kpop song to be played at the Dubai fountain. There are even two sets of choreography as it was re-mixed. Sweet lies has some of the best vocals and is amazing live, incredibly sensual with beautiful choreography and Boomerang has an iconic moment when Kai accidentally broke the standing mic during a performance. All three are truly brilliant live.

[@siisii8009]

We told youuuu Sweet lies is such a banger 💯💯💯

[@yeahitsmusic]

Oohhh now that you’ve heard Power, I can’t wait for you to watch their Olympics performance! It’s phenomenal!! 🔥

[@ashleym5440]

“The War” repackaged album makes a perfect workout playlist.

[@sunnydaeexo]

You do exactly what we do... we count how many members there are 😂 they got us all messed up. But wait til you see the lives for these songs, even BETTER!! 🔥🔥🔥 Happy holidays to you and every EXO-L.

[@clarissawer147]

You can tell someone is Exo fan when you start to count the members 😂 I even do it with other groups 😂

[@nymmechannel3446]

The live performance of these three songs were fire! Absolutely amazing!

[@eleonorestuart4089]

Sweet Lies…vocally superb! You need to watch the live version of this song!

[@bluerose6343]

Love how you absolutely listen to EXOls when they tell you you missed a song. You are my favorite reactor ❤️

[@siisii8009]

Yep the war is a dope album, my fav (with obsession)

[@darshanikumarihami1643]

All of them are ❤️ Vocally and musically so rich. They never fail to amazed us ❤️

[@yasmeenjoosub4699]

They have truly revolutionized K-pop. This is the reason why there will never be better then Exo for me.

[@NurAzizah-hc6il]

EXO always have the best songs ever. Thank you for reacting to EXO songs sir AB

[@MayMay-20000]

Sweet lies is an all time favorite of mine, I don’t get tired of that song

[@Italian67foreverexofan]

EXO FOREVER ❤

[@micheller.8370]

The Power video tickles me. Especially when Suho puts on his glasses, and then faints at the sight of the robot. Not to mention the Nerf guns. I think Power, and EXO-CBX video The One (which you should definitely react to.) are two of my favorites, because they look like they had a lot of fun making them, and they aren't afraid to show their dorky side in them. Also Sweet Lies is amazing, and Boomerang is wonderful too. Chen reaction please.

[@sodabella]

Hope you will react to Sweet Lies and Boomerang live performance next.

[@FantasialiveAkkrman]

Thank you AB for not miss this repackaged album, i always say this album just Power album (the original name is too long, it's THE WAR: THE POWER Of MUSIC 🤭🙈) And you as you can hear from the song, POWER live performances is 🔥🔥🔥, especially in EXOPLANET #4 The ElyXiOn "DIAMOND + COMING OVER + RUN THIS + DROP THAT + POWER" that you had react in DIAMOND but you didn't finish it 🤭 And i recommend "ELECTRIC KISS" from their 1st Japan full album "COUNTDOWN", please react to the (short) MV, Dance Practice, and LIVE Performances, pretty please 🙏 Thank you AB 🙏 best regards from me that live far away from home 🤭🙈

[@brendavanwaldeck5809]

Love it thank you merry Christmas 👑 kings exo

[@ldbigg]

Make sure to check out Sweet Lies live!Merry Christmas!

[@sherry2371]

Just that little tease at the end of Power was enough to hook me on Sweet Lies. After listening to it, it easily is top 5 for me!!

[@milindawilson9175]

In EXO's "Power" MV it is thought that EXO are on Planet Exo and, before the "Obsession" MV came out, we all thought EXO was trying to get their powers back from the Red Force. The original theory was that the robot, which is being controlled by the Red Force, stole EXO's powers and the members had to fight to get their powers back. That's why the robot is labeled RFO5, which stands for Red Force. Not sure what the 05 means, but some theories say that EXO's sister group, Red Velvet, could possibly be the Red Force. If you watch some of Red Velvet's MVs you might be able to make some connections between EXO's storyline and Red Velvet's storyline. Red Velvet has 5 members, so maybe the 05 stands for the 5 members. But whatever it means, the one thing I am sure of is, it's another clue to EXO's origin story. The powers the robot has are all of EXO's powers. For example, you see the robot with Chanyeol's fire orb use it to shoot fire, and the blue orb I think is Suho's water power, etc. On each of EXO's "watches" you see a symbol which is the symbol that represents each of their powers. If you remember in "Mama," each of the members has a symbol that represents their power -- If we were able to see all of their watches, I am pretty sure, we would have seen each one displayed that member's symbol. The hooded figure and the part about the two suns, etc. at the beginning of this MV, is a reference to EXO's origin story and it's supposed to remind you of the narration in the intro of their debut "Mama" MV. And the animate scene where you see the football helmet, the song that was playing was EXO's "Love Me Right." That MV has an American football theme, so that scene was a teaser to that song, which was on their previous album. That is why the narrator kept saying "that's not the right location today," possibly showing how each of EXO's MVs or parts of their story are located within a different dimension or time period. Chen's power is the power to control thunder, but where there is thunder there is always lightning, so Chen also has control of electricity. Lightning is what creates thunder. So, some theories say that is why Chen is the one that is able to plug the power source back in without getting zapped because he has the ability to control electricity; and because Xiumin's power is snow/ice/frost he gets zapped when he tries to plug the power in because snow and ice doesn't mix well with electricity, which is why you see him lying on the ground with his legs in the air shaking next to Chen. The funny wiggly toy is supposed to represent the robot after he has been deactivated by the EXO (or maybe X-EXO) members. It is now dead and it no longer has any power, etc. On a side note, as you see in this MV, each of the members is represented by a different color, which coincides with their power. EXO's fandom color is "Cosmic Latte" (greyish-tan) -- Cosmic Latte is said to be the color created when you combine all the colors of the stars together -- but the group's lightstick is actually multi-colored. Each color represents one of the members. The lightstick has bluetooth and during concerts the lighting technicians can control the fan's lightsticks and change the colors or make them flash or strobe, etc. along with the beat of the music. So during different parts of the concert, depending on which of the members are featured at that moment on stage, they often change the color of the lightstick lights to the color that represents that member. Also, as you see in the MV, yet again, EXO's powers are controlled by the eclipse. The eclipse is where EXO summons their abilities from and that's why the majority of the stories in their MVs revolve around an eclipse of some kind or something to do with the moon. And that's why a few of their comebacks and MV releases -- including this one -- have been on days when we have had a real eclipse, or some sort of real planetary phenomenon, etc. Lay is the only member who is missing in "Power" -- this MV was during the start of when he was no longer able to work with EXO. So, because Lay was unable to participate in this MV, as part of EXO's storyline, Lay was unable to collect his power orb at this time. So originally fan theories thought that the EXO members got his power back for him and they sent Lay his power orb in the mail. We see Lay receive a package, which is thought to contain his orb, in his MV for his solo song "Namanana." However, Lay is not the only one who doesn't get his power back right away. If you look, when all the members powers are being reunited, Baekhyun is the only member who is not shown receiving his power orb at the same time as the rest of the members. In a lot of EXO's MVs, Baekhyun is one of the main characters and he is usually singled out or stands apart from the members. So theories originally speculated that maybe Baekhyun -- who has the ability to control light -- had been corrupted by the Red Force. But as with everything that EXO does, we fans are still trying to figure out what it all means. Although, now that we have new information about EXO's story -- since their "Obsession" MV came out -- the new theory is that the "Power" MV is actually showing us X-EXO in training and Baekhyun has always been the one who the Red Force was unable to steal his power orb, which is why we don't see him in the battle and he appears later on in "Power." This is another instance where, now that we know X-EXO are the ones that are dressed in bright colors, with crazy hair and makeup that, in hindsight, we think "Power" might be showing us a piece of X-EXO's storyline, instead of EXO like we originally thought. Now that we know about X-EXO, it makes sense that "Power" is showing us X-EXO's storyline because most of the members in this MV have blue eyes or different eye colors, which we originally thought was just because it makes them look more like comic book characters to go along with the theme of the MV. However, we have now realized, within SM's SM Culture Universe storyline, when characters within SM MVs have blue eyes or different eye colors this usually is an indication that that person isn't themselves, i.e. they aren't who we think they are. It is thought to be used to show that they are a clone or alter ego, etc., under the control of an evil force. Also take notice, of the letter that is on the collar of the Kitten. If you look, you will see it's an L. It is thought that the kitten is supposed to represent us EXO-Ls. We are the ones that are supporting "EXO," dispensing power and giving them strength, etc. That's why Baekhyun is seen lovingly holding the kitten. If Baekhyun is the only one not under the Red Forces' control, then he is an EXO member, so he is protecting the Kitten (EXO-Ls). In the "Power" MV, fan theories originally thought that once they defeat the robot and get their powers back, EXO are then sent to Earth to start their mission. That is why at the end of this MV you see Baekhyun being sent to Earth were he lands in the water. However, now maybe Baekhyun wasn't necessarily on Earth, but maybe, because he is the one that isn't under the Red Forces' control, this scene is showing us something else. Theories have also been that when the members all arrived on Earth none of them arrived together and they each landed in different locations all over the world -- which is explained in EXO's "Call Me Baby" pathcode teaser videos -- so that might be why at the end of the "Power" MV you see Baekhyun by himself floating in the water. As you discovered, the song you hear playing at the end of the MV is another song from their Power album -- "Sweet Lies." As you can see, even though this is one of their more recent songs and MVs the story in the MV is actually part of the very beginning of EXO's origin story, so this is an example of how their storyline is not in chronological order. We EXO-L's have to really pay attention to figure out where each part of their story fits within the storyline with each new song and MV release, including all their solo content and their sub-unit releases, etc. Also, it's worth noting that if you were to pause the MV at the part in the beginning before the MV really starts, at the part where all the members are in that "club room" hanging out. You would see that everything in that room is there for a reason and it all gives clues to different things to do with EXO, such as the date of their next comeback, what the theme of the next MV might be, the title of the song, etc. The posters on the walls and even the way the members are positioned in the room and what they are doing is all another part of EXO's story, and it gives us a few more clues to what to expect in future chapters of EXO's epic novel or action adventure/mystery movie series. I encourage you, if you haven't already, to go back and look at this frame of the MV, you will be surprised the things you can find within just that one scene. If you haven't already, you really should check out a comeback stage for "Power" because even though this MV doesn't have any dancing, there is choreography that goes along with the song and it gives the song a totally different vibe, ​kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6m8q4Swptd-hbM. And even if you have seen their concert performance of "Power", the concert version is the remixed version, so the choreography is different then what you will see in their comeback stage. "Power" was also used as one of the theme songs, along with their song "Growl," during the 2018 winter Olympics, and EXO even performed both songs during the closing ceremony. Fun fact: If you purchase this album, one version comes with a comic book/graphic novel that continues EXO's storyline. And you only get to see those clues to the story if you own the album. Just another example of how EVERYTHING SM creates for EXO continues their concept and storyline. :D

[@mynebald3945]

Decían que power era una canción pésima que era un fracaso, y esta canción se cantó en las Olimpiadas de invierno , donde EXO representó a Corea , y fue la 1era canción de kpop en las Fuentes de Dubai , un gran orgullo como EXOL
