EXO | 'Lightsaber' & 'Lotto' MV REACTION | Never disappoint!

[@LoveleeCami]

The lightsaber MV has the short version of the song, but don't worry! they sing the full version in the live performance :D

[@ONLYBRITTA]

[@lily52v32]

Baekhyun was something else in that era. Cannot take my eyes of him. Check out their live stages

[@juliebear947]

Red haired Baekhyun just hits on another level. This was one of my favorite looks of his.

[@magiconesgirl]

Baekhyun had all the confidence in the world during this comeback. He was so sassy and cute. We can only hope for this confidence to make an appearance again soon!

[@Lifebubble167]

He was always confident about his art. His confidence makes him sexy. He never lost it.

[@525mk]

they way baekhyun ATE this concept up, legendary to this day

[@milindawilson9175]

Fan theories believe that "Lotto" is the prequel to "Monster." "Monster" is from EXO's EX'Act album and "Lotto" is from their EX'Act repackaged album. So, to understand the story in "Lotto" and "Monster" you have to connect the two storylines. How I interpret things is that the story starts in "Lotto" as EXO goes undercover and works to take down the gambling ring, which is thought to probably be run by the Red Force, and now that we know about EXO's clones, from their "Obsession" storyline, maybe even X-EXO are involved. Fun fact: Kai isn't dancing in the "Lotto" MV. Lay and Sehun are the dancers highlighted in "Lotto." Kai was injured during this time and couldn't dance, which is why you see him sitting down in the MV. In live performances at this time, Kai is absent when Lay is part of the performance because he is still recovering. However, when Kai is back performing the song, Lay was absent because he was busy doing solo activities in China. If you watch any live TV network performances of "Lotto" you might also notice that they change the title of the song to "Louder" and the lyrics are changed to use the word louder instead of lotto as well. Gambling is illegal in Korea and it's one of those things that are banned from being talked about in mainstream media. So in order to make the song TV- and radio-friendly they had to change everything to "Louder." I think the two stories in both "Lotto" and "Monster" actually overlap. I think both MVs take place in the same location and around the same time frame, and in each MV you see the members in different moments as they try to destroy everything to do with this gambling ring. You see them breaking everything in both MVs and you see them smash the car in "Lotto" and in "Monster" you see the car has now been set on fire, and they burn the money and other things in "Lotto" as well, etc. At the end of "Lotto" you see the police or FBI have come in and are just starting to take the members into custody, but if you remember in "Monster" it shows all the members have now been arrested. So I see it as the fight starts in "Lotto" and continues in "Monster." At the end of "Monster" all the members were now in custody and Baekhyun rescues them as he releases them from the back of the police van allowing them to escape, etc. The birds you see in the cage are roosters -- cock fighting roosters to be exact -- and they are another form of gambling. And the dogs are probably guard dogs like what criminal enterprises use as part of their security to deter someone from causing trouble or wanting to rob them, etc. The dogs are thought to be part of the Red Forces' security efforts. Don't worry, SM and EXO don't like animal cruelty either, that's the whole point they are trying to make. It's just another form of evil that comes with gambling. Also, in the "Obsession" MV we see EXO are the members in all black and X-EXO are the members in the colorful outfits with the crazy makeup and hair. So, if you notice, in "Monster" the members are all in black for part of the MV (In "Monster" we also see EXO in black and red outfits, which we have now started to think is supposed to be X-EXO in those scenes because of the red on their outfits), and in "Lotto" they are pretty much in black or dark neutral colors, so that is why I think the story is being depicted from EXO's point of view. You also may notice that in "Monster," and in parts of "Lotto," Chanyeol has red hair. But at the end of "Lotto" when he is being arrested, he has blond hair. I think this also might mean that the Chanyeol with red hair is his X-EXO clone, while the blond Chanyeol is the good EXO member who is undercover, trying to accomplish his tasks here on Earth and help the girl, etc. So, in "Lotto" and "Monster" I think what we are watching are the EXO members trying to take down X-EXO and the Red Force and stop the evil and corruption that the Red Force is inflicting on the world which is depicted here as corruption through illegal gambling. We are not really sure what the girl takes from Chanyeol at the end of "Lotto", but it definitely wasn't money. If you pay attention to the lyrics, one of the English lines is, "I don't need no money." That is why they burn the huge stack of cash. Most theories agree that the currency that EXO values the most is flowers. There is an overwhelming use of flowers in many of their MVs, and as you see in "Love Shot," for example, they aren't collecting money but flowers. And in EXO-CBX's "Hey Mama" and "Blooming Day" and in EXO's "Love Me Right", etc. you see them with flowers. My theory is that the girl is somehow connected to EXO's quest to find and protect the Tree of Life and that is why at the end of "Lotto" you see her secretly take something -- which if you pause the MV and zoom in, you will see looks like a small video tape -- to somehow help them in their quest. The video tape is thought to be the video that D.O. is filming with the camcorder in the middle of "Lotto." It's still unclear at this point how the girl fits in the storyline, but I think, or at least I hope, that in the future we will discover more about her and what significance she has within the story. Some say the "girl" that EXO is always singing about and you sometimes see in their MVs -- like in "Lotto" -- is a manifestation of the heart of the Tree of Life and that is why the members are always rescuing or protecting the girl, etc. And why all their songs are about being in love with a girl or being controlled by the power of the girl, such as in "Overdose" for example. Or how they talk about knowing they are bad news for the girl but they want her anyway and they can't help it, but in the end they know they might destroy her -- as they say in "Monster," etc. etc. When you think of the girl as the heart of the Tree of Life the mystery begins to unfold even more. It's been more than 4 years since "Lotto" came out and I have seen the MV dozens of times, and each time I watch it I still see something different and am still working to unravel more clues. But "Lotto" and "Monster" are the two EXO MVs that have me the most confused. I'm still struggling to really grasp the full story those MVs are trying to tell. I think part of the reason why I find these two MVs so confusing, is the fact that they depart the most from the linear storyline and the story jumps back and forth between the two MVs so much that I struggle to put the events in order to really make a clear picture.

[@woodstock8d]

EXO concept and theory are getting deeper and deeper with each comeback 😅

[@koalabelle361]

2016 Baekhyun really hits different. It’s bad enough that we’re down so bad for him but to add on that he friggin knew he’s hot and he played it well

[@shamidkpzd]

Baekyun was really something else this era. He was coming for our necks in the live stages too. 😩

[@mitchtrajano7027]

Yeah! I agree

[@Jaydeekatt]

Baekhyun is my bias… and he still wrecked me in lotto 😩

[@mitchtrajano7027]

Me too 🥺

[@abcdef-kf3my]

💯 can’t agree more

[@LoveleeCami]

This was basically RJ being wrecked by Byun Baekhyun LOL... I mean... Don't blame you dude 😙

[@rjkpop]

pretty much

[@abcdef-kf3my]

You got it RJ. You got the memo in Lotto. Lotto Baek is one of the most Epic Baek ever and every EXO-L got to feel him. It’s that lip bite, open chest, fluffy red hair, his moves... Ufff damn I can’t get over it and will never... but Lotto is epic🔥🔥🔥

[@garciajocilep.3736]

Baekhyun owned the Lotto era! ❤

[@milindawilson9175]

EXO have so much influence on international pop culture that big western companies, such as Disney are coming to them and asking them to partner with them. "Lightsaber" was a collaboration between Disney, which owns the Star Wars franchise, and EXO as a way to help Disney promote the most recent release of their Star Wars movie "The Force Awakens". Disney actually approached SM Entertainment and asked them if they would be willing to create a song and MV centered around the Star Wars theme as a way to promote the upcoming release of their newest installment of the Star Wars movie across Asia. So SM came up with "Lightsaber" -- which is actually a sort of remix of a song that SM already had also called "Lightsaber." -- and the accompanying MV. (The original version of "Lightsaber" was used in one of Kai's pre-debut teaser videos.) And because EXO is one of the biggest groups across Asia, with one of the largest fan bases, it's not surprising that "Lightsaber" as a song and MV got a lot of recognition around the world. And because of its popularity, SM came up with an epic iconic concert stage for the song as well. One of the reasons why SM agreed to partner with Disney on this project was because it fit so well with EXO's storyline and concept. As aliens from Planet Exo, it makes sense that EXO might be Jedis as well. :D Although, as you heard, they have a Korean version -- and, because it's EXO, they also have a Mandarin version of "Lightsaber" -- the song is actually one of EXO's Japanese songs. So, on top of it being a promotional video, because it was also released as a Japanese song, that is one reason why I think the MV is so short. Traditionally, most Japanese MVs use an abridged version of the song. I think It's part of Japan's marketing strategy to make you buy the song or album in order to hear the full song. So, most of the time, to hear the whole song you have to see it live in concert or listen to the studio version. I personally like the sound of the Japanese version the best. :D Yes, all the members of EXO sing on this track, but in the MV you only see Baekhyun, Kai and Sehun. I'm not sure why SM chose to only include these members in the MV, but I am sure it probably has to do with EXO's storyline. As you may have noticed they seem to be on a mission. For example, we see Sehun in the hotel and he is in walking down the hall with all the doors on both sides of them. As part of EXO's storyline, it is thought hat EXO uses doors as portals to other dimensions or ways to travel throughout history. So theories speculate that one of the things the members are doing is searching for the right door that will allow them to escape or travel to each other, etc. I also think that the scene with Sehun on the motorcycle is connected to the fact that we see Sehun sitting on a motorcycle in EXO's "Tempo" MV and also in their "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV. Also, at the very end we see the lights come back on in the dark hallway of the hotel. I think this is showing Baekhyun using his power of light. He may have turned the lights off to conceal something, then as he exits the space, the lights pop back on. If you want to see an amazing performance and get a chance to hear the full song performed by the whole group with some great choreography and some Jedi moves, you have to check out the live concert performance of "Lightsaber" in Japan. That performance takes "Lightsaber" to a whole other level. kzbin.info/www/bejne/goHZemWdh5umrq8 Rumor has it that an executive from Disney happened to catch EXO's performance of "El Dorado" at one of their concerts -- in which EXO also has choreography that uses lightsaber-like lightsticks -- and that's how they were inspired with the idea to ask EXO to collaborate with them on this Star Wars project. Also, as one of the big 3 entertainment companies in Korea and around the world, SM has had a relationship with Disney for a long time now. SM has partnered with Disney to produce programs for Disney Channel Korea in the past. Many of the members of NCT got their start pre-debut as members of Korea's Mickey Mouse Club and they starred on the well known variety show which aired on Disney Channel Korea. The show was hosted by Leeteuk from Super Junior and the guests on the show each week were SM artists. And NCT-127 also performed on Mckey's 90th birthday celebration TV special in the U.S. a few years ago, as well.

I always found the Lightsaber mv a little underwhelming considering we've seen some pretty good effects from SM in the past. I always felt that Disney contacted SM and didn't give them much time (so it would be ready for the movie release.) I do like the song but it's not in my top 10 Exo songs. Lotto, on the other hand, blew me away. Was not expecting this sound from Exo (and even the members were concerned if their fans would accept it. YES WE DID😇😇😇
