[@baekyongqin]

still hoping we could get back the winter albums when all of them finishes in military (_ _ ")

[@milindawilson9175]

Let me explain one of the theories behind the story in EXO's "Universe" MV. First off, as you probably know, "Universe", as with everything to do with EXO, is connected to EXO's concept and storyline. So some of the scenes are designed to make connections to EXO's storyline. The most obvious point is that in the lyrics they are talking about "Searching the Universe" for that lost or missing love. So you can see how that parallels how EXO are searching the universe for the Tree of Life and for a way to fix everything that is going wrong, etc. "Universe" is the title track on EXO's Universe album and it's one of EXO's winter albums, so that is why it's a ballad. The theme of the MV is “cafe universe" and one theory is that the story is being told through coffee metaphors. Fun fact: EXO's official fan color is Cosmic Latte which is thought to be why this whole MV uses the creamy tan and brown tones and why it is centred around coffee. First off, in order to understand what is happening in the MV, you should be aware that the story is not unfolding in chronological order. The plot is more like an explanation of feelings than a straight storyline. One theory is that the coffee is a metaphor for the feelings of bitterness. Two guys share a coffee, but they both hate its bitter taste. They think that if they add something to it, it will be less bitter. One person (Chanyeol) wanted to fix things by making it sweet, so he decided to add sugar. The other guy (Suho) tries to fix things with a more mellow, smooth approach, so he adds milk or cream to the coffee. However, there are limits to everything and even when you have the best of intentions, you can take things too far. As the leader of the group, Suho wants to smooth things over, so he keeps adding milk as he tries to cover the bitterness, but in doing so it also masks the sweetness of the sugar and the pure taste of the coffee. So this is where you see the cup overflow as it is overpowered by everything being added to it. By covering the bitterness with an overwhelming amount of cream and sugar it has now made the coffee something neither one wants to drink. So in other words, making hasty decisions without considering others feelings, viewpoints and opinions will ruin relationships in the process. The story seems to primarily focus on Suho, Chanyeol, and Sehun. Some theories say that it looks as though Suho and Chanyeol are not on good terms. Which is thought to be a continuation of how we saw Chanyeol and Suho fighting in "Sing For You," but instead of solving the conflict by talking it out, they turn their backs and build a wall around the problem. At one point you see Chanyeol with his back turned and his cup sitting upside down, and he is staring blankly at an empty spot, which is thought to be Suho's place. The conflict is affecting their friendship as a group and Sehun wants to help his friends. But it is unclear what Suho and Chanyeol are really fighting about because they are hiding their true feelings and are passivagressivly pretending like everything is OK. This is where Kai, Baekhyun, Chen, and Xiumin enter the plot. Some theories have interpreted the teaser images from "Universe" as showing the members split into two groups. It is thought that Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin and Kai represent the internal struggles of the group because we see them in the MV and in the teaser images for "Universe" sitting at the table almost as if they are restless and struggling to come up with an answer for how to fix things or to smooth things over, etc. And the other members -- Suho, Chanyeol, D.O. and Sehun -- represent the physical manifestation of that conflict. Sehun figures that if he understands his friends' (Suho and Chanyeol) internal struggles he can figure out how to fix things. Sehun's internal struggle is depicted by Xiumin who contemplates how he can fix his friends’ mistakes (Kai and Baekhyun). You see Xiumin sitting at the table with a glass of water and tissue paper. Mirroring the problems caused by Chanyeol and Suho, we see Baekhyun add too much sugar to the coffee and Kai adds too much milk to the cup and spills the coffee. However, Xiumin seems to have come up with a solution: water can dilute the sugar and make it less sweet and the tissue can clean up the spilled coffee. D.O. and Chen are the two that are thought to represent the bitterness of the coffee in their parallel groups. Chen scribbles on the paper almost as if this represents the internal struggle that the group is going through, as if the pain, emotion and conflict is just a big mess that they are struggling to work out. Kai (who is representing Suho's internal struggles) blames himself as the reason for Chen's scribbles (Chen represents the coffee's bitterness, which is the problems within the group). Kai's (Suho's internal struggle) guilt becomes so encompassing that it turned those scribbles into physical ropes that tied him up and traped him. At one point you see Kai sitting at the table covered with cups of coffee. Each cup is different and that is thought to represent a different memory of moments in their friendship. Each memory is unique and special, but Kai seems to be overwhelmed by it all. He sits with his head on the table trying to sort out all his feelings and emotions, etc. But if you notice, what he is focused on the entire time is the plate of sugar cubes. But before Kai's guilt (Suho's internal struggle) can really consume him, Sehun steps in and gives him a new cup of coffee. Allowing Kai to have the chance to start over. Sehun also handed Kai a saucer with sugar cubes. He knows that Kai's (Suho's) regret is rooted in the fact that he was not able to give his friend Baekhyun (Chanyeol) the simple taste of sweet coffee. Which is a metaphor for not being able to provide a simple fix to their problems. If Kai (Suho) can make the coffee the perfect amount of sweet for Baekhyun (Chanyeol) this time he may be able to move on and stop holding on to the guilt, regret and anger, etc. which will help to resolve the conflict within the group. Also, it seems as though parts of the story are being told from Kai's point of view. Some theories think that this connects to the story in their "Sing For You" MV as well. If you remember in "Sing For You," Kai was the one that seemed to be interpreting the emotions in that MV through his dance, so some say he is also the interpreter of what is happening in "Universe." Next you see that the table becomes empty and the only things remaining are the sugar cubes, the cup of coffee and the glass of water. Some say the sugar represents their ability to carefully create a sweeter future, while the water is a reminder not to repeat past mistakes. In the end, Kai decides not to add anything to the coffee, and instead, he gives Baekhyun the coffee in its pure black bitter form. Because he has now learned that there is no reason for them to keep trying to change each other. As bitter as life can be, they come to the conclusion that they should accept its imperfections -- that in friendships, there will be struggles and misunderstandings, but sugarcoating it or pretending that everything is watered down or milky good, isn't being honest with themselves. Which is what is really happening within Suho and Chanyeol -- they may be sitting next to each other but deep inside, they're opposing one another as shown through Kai and Baekhyun's actions. On the surface it seems as though the members are all talking about their friendships and the struggles they had over the past few years. But, as we have discovered with many of EXO's songs, SM has actually been planning their song releases and MV storylines since their pre-debut days, way back in 2012, as we hear in EXO's pre-debut teasers. So, if that is the case, then that was before EXO had even gone through any of their major struggles as a group, so I think the meaning of "Universe" may have evolved only because we as listeners have reinterpreted it to fit a new narrative. That's the beauty of songs like this, you can interpret it however you want and make it fit whatever story you want or need it to.

[@aar7143]

This is a thesis

[@elifcakmak3331]

Dear Milinda, you and this channel are a perfect match. Thank you for making everything more meaningful.

[@jhienerationlooks]

Well said..Thanks co EXO-L

[@ulchariat8131]

beautiful

[@myrakhan9401]

it could also be added that it seems that the conflict may be resolved through the scenes of Kais ropes being united, the paintings being shown first as a messy squiggle but Sehun is walking away from it whereas it then shows Baekhyun walking in front of of a painting with a straight line, Chanyeol also being able to take off his sweater rather than being trapped in it and the bridge of Chanyeol and Suho where they are facing the same direction could be when they may have resolved the issue because its then that that Kai offers Baekhyun the coffee and they are all smiling again and we see one of final scenes where there is a coffee cup with a piece of string thats not tangled. I hope I made sense , sorry for the word vomit I just love talking about these theories with people but because i stay off twitter i dont get much opportunity to do so!

[@citraarien6293]

the starbucks theory😂😂😂😂

[@subilynnoweight2090]

yeah the best exo coffee commercial whahahaha lol but jokes aside, the meaning behind the mv is very deep and meaningful, at the beginning we the 8 members struggling, down about something and entangled( painting, yarn and members) in life's stress and trouble but eventually everything will be okay again and untangle and resolve somehow in life as we see the members midway to the end of the mv smiling and sharing coffee and gaining energy again and we see the yarn untangle and the ropes broke around Kai and everyone looks happy again. EXO's winter albums have the best ballads you can find in the world i swear :)

[@elifcakmak3331]

Cosmic latte is a name assigned to the average color of the universe, found by a team of astronomers from Johns Hopkins University. (Wikipedia) This is a “come, sit down, rest a bit, you’ve been through a lot, here calm your head and heart with me, and here is a hot coffee...” kind of song. It says: I search the universe looking for you. I knew you need me and finally I found you when you found me. Last verse is saying “because that’s love”. It’s in my treasure play list which I’m saving for my nephews and nieces.

[@subilynnoweight2090]

I kid you not when i say this is THE SONG that made me a BALLAD FAN 3 years ago! I miss all of EXO, hope our boys in the military, in SK and China are doing well and staying safe as well! Thank you guys for this reaction and all the EXO reactions we appreciate it :)

[@ATriforceLullaby]

It’s even better when you go to the concert, because the lightstick will sync and go along with the performances 😍

They are masterpieces... EXO is another level... they make us want and always expect the best performance, the best singing, the best concept

[@royalstoria4477]

The squiggles. The tangled up rope. Its like life all tangled up. Kai being tied up by those ropes and chanyeol struggling to take off his jumper, they feel suffocated/trapped and are trying to break free. Coffee is the metaphor here for life. Life can be sweet, bitter, light, heavy.....etc...

OMG you guys have your ERIBONG!!!! i have mine in the room and it can also change colors like a rainbow during EXO concert when they connect to the venue's bluetooth setup for the seats in the concert! but other fans have mentioned an app for it too i forgot the name tho.

[@danaxol]

The lightstick, called Eribong, is Bluetooth controlled by every concert/live stage, so, practically, doesn't help the three stages of the lighting, the stage director will dictate the light choreo

[@missbainotutto]

Wow!!! Light stick !!😍😍😍

[@waraphornudomphum]

Wow!!! EXO Light stick

[@kpopajumma2449]

Universe is actually from their Winter album.

[@umgeorgia]

this cb was pushed back bc of the death of jjong and when it finally dropped it was just so comforting to so many people .. this song and mini album mean so much to me

[@mikasaarienaiexo-l8197]

I really love your guys' positivity and really professional commentary! Thank you for giving your opinion on this song. Your lightstick is cool lol

[@jaykool7]

Reactor: This is a beautiful song it's fire..(the rest, talks about wanting coffee and how expensive Starbucks is lol) They look like they need some coffee. But I always appreciate the Exo reactions. Please react to EXO - Promise Live eng sub (black and white version) and D.O. feat Yoo Youngjin - Tell me what is Love (color coded lyric version.) Both are straight fire.

oh my God u are an exol baby now, welcome🎉 and hope a lot of reaction about exo in the future❤️

[@iramabbasexol]

My favorite song

[@mixx-n-match]

Universe is a title track of one of EXO's Winter Albums (i miss those 😭) Their Winter Albums are generally ballads (they're sooooo soothing) This MV actually has a deeper meaning than a 'coffee commercial' lol (i wish you knew this before seeing/hearing the song) Here's a summary * quoting @ Royal Storia and @ elif cakmak * The squiggles. The tangled up rope. It's like life all tangled up. Kai being tied up by those ropes and Chanyeol struggling to take off his jumper, they feel suffocated/trapped and are trying to break free. Coffee is the metaphor here for life. Life can be sweet, bitter, light, heavy.....etc... This is a “come, sit down, rest a bit, you’ve been through a lot, here calm your head and heart with me, and here is a hot coffee...” kind of song. It says: I search the universe looking for you. I knew you need me and finally I found you when you found me. Last verse is saying “because that’s love”. PS. Cosmic Latte is the official fandom color btw !

Omg Universe!! It’s (I’m not kidding) imo the best track from EXO which represents them in full. I mean ofc I like heavy rap line songs too! But this song is so close to my heart. I wish Sehun had more lines, his voice is soooo soothing here. Love to hear it. But thanks for your reaction as always. I agree, this music video is art. Also, it makes me feel..relaxed. Personally I love that scene where Chanyeol finally takes his sweater off. That feeling of being free.. just wow. That’s this song. Unravelling & losing control. Not being too stressed in life & letting you hold down.
