The thing about growl is that was so popular in 2013, it was a real hit, with xoxo (growl album) exo sold more than 1M copies being the first time in more than 20 years for kpop. Also exo won so many daesangs thanks to growl. And last with this achievement exo started the 3rd generation of kpop

[@nguyenhatien1787]

What makes it special is that it is an one-take MV. If I'm not wrong, then it is the first one-take Kpop song.

[@atishreeshrivastava3082]

True

[@rani9213]

IT IS!!! The first one-take MV in Kpop ever.

[@mesozn6283]

It is, like the first official MV with a one take, not like a dance practice or studio chroom version like nowadays

[@user-vs7pe6ez4i]

so true!

[@jjemomagar7652]

sorry. this was probably two takes. Just like BigBang 'I Hate This Love Song' The second half was with the snap back outro.

[@irinimyeon2520]

Growl Funfact : 1) the album save the industry from 20 years drought 2) the one that use and popularize the school uniform concept. 3) they won so many daesang with this 4) known as south korean anthem in kpop world 5) if you go to korea and say "Eurereong" everyone will know. 6) the mv is one take video. 7) so popular in that era (2013) when students talk about kpop, they don't ask which group you like, they ask who your bias in exo 😆 8) no official kpop mercendies at that time, so everyone just do their own exo and growl related merchandise such as nametag and cap Cmiiw. Sorry for my english

[@resurgingflame]

Number 1 fact is misleading. The industry was fine. What they did with Growl was REVIVING *physical album sales* which was previously declining bcus of digital era. They're the first group to sell more than 1M+ sales after 19 years in korean music industry. When u listed "facts" & achievements like this, make sure to get the context & wording properly bcus it's very important to do so if u wanna inform non fans.

[@simageneration4030]

@@resurgingflame nah EXO made it worldwide

[@simageneration4030]

@@resurgingflame and the 1 million sale was PHYSICAL which u know was super hard in 2013 ..... i mean that time there was no Social media ..............

[@irinimyeon2520]

@@resurgingflame oh sorry. Thank you for correcting me!

[@resurgingflame]

@@simageneration4030 I never denied that? Read properly & try to understand the context better. The op said the album "save" the industry from "20 years drought". In actuality, there's no drought aside of physical sales & the industry was still doing REALLY great with it. It's the golden era of kpop afterall & the start of its expansion outside of Korea to the whole Asia. So it's a misleading statement bcus it doesn't exactly save the industry. It just propels them to be even more succesful by venturing into physical sales again. It's an amazing achievement nonetheless but the phrasing is inaccurate. & EXO didn't make it worldwide either. It's a collective achievement from the journeys of multiple kpop groups.

[@EXOZNINE]

There is not a soul in South Korea who doesn't know this song! Its like their NATIONAL ANTHEM.

[@trishaniannebolkvzy9462]

This is a one take music video,ONE OF THE MOST LEGENDARY SONGS IN THE HISTORY OF KPOP!! THE RELEVANCY OF THIS SONG IS ON THE NEXT LEVULH.

[@celestisima]

A Kpop Anthem. It's a must!

[@kangseulgi7877]

GROWL is the best EXO song for me.

[@simageneration4030]

wut .......... how can u u mean best title right ?

[@meveallstair8431]

You must see Growl's song at EXO's live concert...the sound is always ringing in ears

[@heybelly_1588]

Growl is one of iconic song in kpop industry, so much respect for this song!!!

[@rani9213]

Things you need to know about this song "Growl" and the album which it's included "XOXO": 1. First thing I need to remind you, this song came out in 2013, 1 year after their debut in 2012. It's their 3rd comeback after "MAMA" and "Wolf". 2. Yes, this song is literally their comeback right after "Wolf". "Wolf" is the title track for their first full album "XOXO" and "Growl" is the title track for their repackage album for their first album "XOXO". 3. This Album is literally saves the physical album industry from 20 years drought. This is the first album in 20 years to sold more than 1 M copies. (Btw, Baekhyun also the first male soloist to sold more than 1 M copies for one album in so many years) 4. With this album and song, EXO won so many awards and bring them their first Daesang. After only 1 year debut. And with this song and album also, they won soo manyy daesangs. Basically with this Achievement, EXO STARTED 3RD GENERATION OF KPOP. 5. The impact of the song: 1. It is THE FIRST EVER ONE-TAKE MV IN KPOP HISTORY. Well yeah it was HUGE back then. 3. This MV concept, school uniforms, gives so much impact in Kpop. They're THE FIRST TO USE AND POPULARIZE the school uniform concept. Just like colorful skinny jeans in SNSD's MV "Gee" 2. This song is basically considered NATIONAL ANTHEM in South Korea. EVERYONE knows THE SONG, EVERYONE knows THE FANCHANT. 3. Back then, when the song came out, IT'S NOT who's your favorite idol, IT'S who's your BIAS IN EXO. 4. The relevance of the song is still very very strong to this day. You STILL see so many people covering the dance of the song. EVERYONE, EVERY IDOL KNOWS THE CHOREOGRAPHY. Even till now you still see new idols covering this song.

[@exo_ateez1020]

Correction :1m in 12 years and Baekhyun the first soloist in 20 years

[@newstripclubtechnology2863]

Exo growl is a legend in kpop Industry and back then 100m views was such a big deal as internet and smart phone was not that advance like this days and they hit it

[@Unknown-qe9bf]

Concept wise, YES! The wolf thing was a concept during the Wolf and Growl era. Growl was the title track of the repackage album of wolf.

[@bryarmaputi5856]

The song that opened the gate of 3rd Generation Kpop ♡♡♡ That's why most of some New Kpop groups still cover this song as a pay of tribute ♡♡♡

[@ohoratkkaebsong]

One thing you probably didn’t notice, this was a one take me. The first one in the history of K-pop!

[@dabdoob1992]

The cute thing about growl that name whoever from your stan list and you'll find they've already covered growl not my favorite tt but always fun to listen to❤

[@mariamicaela7242]

literally one of the most iconic kpop songs ever🙏🏼

[@univEXO-L]

3rd generation hit song by them Growl (album) XOXO

[@revelzen5616]

Ah yes the iconic kpop anthem of all time!!!!

[@nataliah3243]

P.S.-Lots of 3rd Gen groups have covered Growl, and many 4th Gen dread it because of the vocals and one-take value. And yeah, it's not like the vocals are crazy. Back then they definitely sounded great but their songs weren't vocal-display oriented (which is why even if Wolf has some powerful vocal moments, they only made it prominent during the live remix). And that's the thing about EXO: you can totally see them growing before your eyes. They were good at first, but the fact that all of them keep taking lessons and working on acquiring new musical skills (when they had had this hit song back in '13 and they could have become a one-hit wonder) says a lot about them being artists, not just idols.

[@bugu7323]

i disagree with the vocals part cause they released wolf and mama and we all know those songs are so hard to sing i didnt even see a live cover of that songs tbh and growl is vocal focused as well the part before the chorus and the bridge with all those harmonies plus jongdae's high note... no one does it like rookie exos....

[@bella11110]

So many fantastic idols in one video -- Lay, Baekhyun, Kai, D.O., Xiumin, Chen, Chanyeol - the list goes on and on. I love the catchy melody of the song. Shows you do not have to pay millions for a video to be successful. Love this and the fabulous EXO. Luhan vocal is great- miss him in the group (also miss Kris Wu). Thanks for covering this.

[@Sirah1981]

The wolf thing both is and is not a reference. Like, obviously it calls back to Wolf being previous comeback and the song being about a wolf (exo) and a "beauty". But also, in Korean when you talk about people you often have animal references, like cunning girls being "fox-like", stupid strong people being bears and young men who are, well, after women are often talked about as wolves. So EXO is also saying that other men lusting after her are just predators after a piece of meat.
