EXO | 'Electric Kiss' MV + Dance Practice REACTION | How did I not know this existed?!..

[@dyomint775]

If you like Kyungsoo's hair like that you should check out his movie Swing Kids where he plays a North Korean prisoner of war who gets into tap dancing! It's really really good!!! Thanks for your reaction!!!

[@fenniferj]

So glad you got to this. This is such a great song, the whole Japanese album, Countdown, is really good. They actually perform it in their Elyxion tour (Japan version) as an encore if you're interested in seeing it live.

Although I don't really understand most of what is happening in EXO's "Electric Kiss" MV, I think what it is showing us is EXO traveling between space and time and across dimensions. When you pair the MV with each of the member's individual pre-release teaser clips, it is thought that "Electric Kiss" is showing EXO -- or maybe now that we know about X-EXO, maybe it's X-EXO -- as they have fully realized their full power potential. That's why you see Chanyeol create the explosion -- he no longer has the gentle little flame that we see in "Mama" or the spark that we see in "Ko Ko Bop," for instance -- his power is now fueled by anger or a need to eliminate someone or something, etc. It is thought that Chanyeol's wings could possibly be dragon wings. One theory has been since Kris, Luhan and Tao left, that the other members have absorbed their powers. Kris and Chanyeol were power counterparts. Kris had the power of flight and his spirit animal was a dragon and Chanyeol has the power of fire and his spirit animal is a phoenix, so they were connected because they both had elements of flight and fire in their powers. So it is thought that maybe Chanyeol took on Kris' powers of the dragon. You also see D.O. in that room full of film reels. If you remember in "Monster" and "Lotto", D.O. is the one who is filming everything that is happening and it is through that it's his videotape that Chanyeol gives to the girl at the end of "Lotto." So in "Electric Kiss" it's almost as if the films are the collection of videos that D.O. has been accumulating. However, I am not really sure if they are intended as evidence to be used against the Red Force or if the videos are supposed to be used for blackmail or if they are part of the Red Forces' plan for control, etc. It's not clear whether D.O. is the good and pure EXO member or if he is an X-EXO member under the control of the Red Force, etc. In "Tempo" we see the members in the movie theater and Suho is trying to prevent the members from seeing whatever is on the movie screen, and we see what is thought to be the Red Force using video images of the forest to try and trick Suho into forgetting that he is trapped in the maze in "For Life," etc. However, in "Electric Kiss" Xiumin is the one that is filming with the video camera this time, and it is almost as if he is using it as he plays the lookout for the other members. You see Xiumin use the video camera to see Sehun who is in the building across from him and you see him watching Baekhyun who is in the parking lot area between the buildings, etc. Some theories even say that "Electric Kiss" is showing us the members teaming up. For instance, you see Baekhyun with his power of light seem to combine his power with Sehun's wind power -- which you see depicted with the tornado -- and we see Chen's power of thunder and lightning with the lightning storm ragging in the background. Chen also is the one that sings the line, "It's going to be electric," which I find interesting because he has the power to control electricity. For a long time a lot of theories have thought that Suho is the one character who is unable to choose sides and that is why we see him always trying to save or rescue the members regardless of whether they are being controlled by the Red Force or not. And this is thought to also be the case in "Electric Kiss." One theory is that Suho cannot choose a side, in fact he refuses to. This theory speculates that he doesn't believe that any of the members could truly be evil and he thinks in the end things can eventually be made right once again. And as the leader and guardian of EXO -- Suho in Korean means guardian -- he doesn't want to do anything that would cause a rift between the members in the future. As you see in the MV, he feels trapped in a literal box, which is why that's where he is for the majority of the MV. Suho feels like he can't do much to fix things at this point, so he uses his power of water as a mirror to force the other members to see themselves and to get them to reflect on the destruction they've caused or to really pay attention to what is happening all around them. By forcing them to each look at themselves, they then realize that they can break free from the Red Forces' control. With Suho's help, they all realize what they really want to do is what's best for the group, and in the end, they discover all that they can accomplish with the full potential of their powers unlocked. There is tons more going on in this MV and there are a lot more theories, but these are just a few that come to mind at the moment. Absolutely, everything EXO does is connected and SM never loses sight of that, even when they release a Japanese album or single. Nothing in this MV was random or done without a specific purpose and it's all meant to connect to everything they have done so far and anything to come in the future, across all languages and countries. "Electric Kiss" is one of EXO's Japanese tracks, so that explains why the MV is short. As you have seen before, Japanese MVs are traditionally shorter abridged versions of the song. My theory is that it's a marketing tactic. Japanese producers want to make sure that fans are purchasing the song and album, so they make the MV short so you hear just enough of the song that you want to hear more which forces you to have to buy the song if you want to hear the full version. Japanese songs and albums from Kpop artists are produced and marketed by Japanese companies, so that is why they have different/more strict copyrights. Often, the only way you can hear the full version of the song for free is if you watch a dance practice video, or you see a performance from one of their Japanese concerts. Plus, most of the time Japanese songs are not promoted outside of Japan, so the promotions for those songs are way different. The choreography for "Electric Kiss" is one of the most complex dances in the industry. There are more than 30 unique transitions in this dance and they are constantly moving. No one is in the same position twice in the dance.

[@andrapavel9987]

It is said that Electric Kiss' choreo has more than 30 formations/transitions. People trying to count them usually get somewhere between 30-40. They probably moved after every single line. It's a very dynamic choreo.

[@chachiimeeedo784]

Ok now time to react to EXO's Ooh La la la song and dance practice 🥰

[@imjustbeme6984]

yess✊✊✊🤌🤌

[@ONLYBRITTA]

He actually reacted to the album on Patreon😎

[@bella11110]

Exo are under Avex in Japan, they're much more strict with copyright and stuff, they upload short MVs for all Japanese releases. Nevertheless, a complete version of those MVs do exist, but you have to buy them🤧 You can check the Love Me Right Japanese MV, it's different than the Korean one, and the Coming Over MV too, both are short too!

[@natia1971]

I recommend you to watch the live performance of this song as well. Their whole Japanese album is very good

[@aryaraisha8477]

Kyungsoo also said he loves his hair like that. It feels lighter and I am definitely okay with that

[@mesozn6283]

This dance practice video is so satisfying to watch, their sharp moves in sync wish 8 members above all, prefect

[@ONLYBRITTA]

SUCH a good song… for some reason I get soooo pumped when Electric Kiss comes on and every time I hear it I like it even more❤️‍🔥💋⚡️THANKS FOR REACTING!!

[@TheSaDeMa]

The MVs of the Japanese albums are included in the album version that comes with a DVD, which contains the full MV and behind scenes. That's why they only upload a short version to KZbin. This is something that JPop artists/groups do and it's something that the Japanese market is used to even though it seems weird to us. That's why there are many KPop artists who do this with their Japanese releases, especially in the past, lately they are changing. It's a shame to have to illegally search for the full MV on the internet to watch it, but the companies want to make money and they take advantage of the fact that the Japanese are going to pay to see the MV.

[@cherylchristensen3339]

If you rewatch the dance practice, you will see Kai moving instantaneously with the first beat...he almost beats the note as he is moving so fast! Also, he finishes the song alone as he drops down after the others, but still with the music. And who doesn't love Baekhyun's laugh!!! Thanks for the reaction, RJ!

[@arcccis]

For me this is EXO's best dance, it's really strong and every part is very different from the other in the dance

[@MandiLou41493]

Electric Kiss is so good. I love the rap so much

[@kemsari9969]

Its one of the hardest and fastest choreos in Kpop. Its a formation change every 8-count and even pro-dancers are impressed by that :)

[@syedafarhat7252]

This Album is so so so Good Into the World, lovin you Mo, cosmic railway, Tactix Basically All the songs of this Album are Bomb !!!

[@sariszky]

Hope you can react to their Cosmic Railway live.

[@danigarek7234]

💡I have a suggestion, what do you think about starting your chain reaction to EXO's performances for MAMA concerts starting in 2013? It will be a great series that will witness EXO's development stages since they were young. "Note: Mama's parties are parties every year end. All K-pop artists will gather and perform special performances and they will receive awards."

[@danigarek7234]

And there is an award, the year Exo has been since their inception, they have won this award in a row 5 years since the Kano Rockies and also EXO is number 2 in the world after Michael Jackson in the number of awards

[@artistblue18]

Fingers Crossed this video doesn’t get blocked Edit : nvm you might be fine actually since other channels still have their reactions up. Japanese copyright is so weird

Countdown album from 2018 you should check it out Rj because that is a good album too 🙂

[@mxx_ar]

Japan is very strict with their copyright law, that's why music companies only uploading the short version of the song. But now I think it's not as strict as it used to be though :)
