Korean American OG reacts to EXO Killing Voice! Growl, MAMA, Butterfly Girl etc. Memory Lane for me!

I enjoyed this whole lot more than I expected. I watched them debut one by one back in the day and it was great to hear them sing live. Just crazy good. Also, enjoyed the classic SM sound. I missed it so. But Baekhyun keeps winking at us. Not fare LOL

Baekhyun is just the best Idol for me. He’s super talented. He’s vocal tone is my personal favourite, I love his music style and songs, he’s funny, positive, entertaining, his visual, his genius mind🔥🔥🔥 but EXO are all vocal kings and I love him them all so so much. EXO’s music saved me.

[@redmint4894]

I'm a brand new Exo enthusiast. Although it was BTS and BlackPink that drew me into the world of K-Pop (along with a lot of Americans, I think, along with PSY of course) - it is Exo that has my full attention. It goes to show that after 10+ years, a good group can still get new fans. I also love their history, sad though that the Korea/China idea didn't work out - geopolitics ruining everything as usual. There's not a single member who doesn't belong there on skill merits alone. That is more than I can say for 99% of the other K-Pop groups I've checked out. Glad you can appreciate them despite them not being your 'ult' or problems with Baekyhun (I think they should be allowed to date anyone they want, and not be penalized or criticized for it - the rest of us date people at work, too - it's who we see every day and have the most in common with, right? Let them be autonomous! Just my opinion of course, I'm a Westerner and new to K-Pop so what do I really know). Thank you for the reaction. Good stuff. One take from the vocal kings!

[@komerican-og]

I totally agree with you. OOH~. Baekyun thing is a misunderstanding. It is my fault though. Speaking into a camera sometimes feels like you are talking to an individual rather than masses sometimes. A probable newbie mistake. I have said that these idols should date freely like normal young people do, so many times and I forgot there will be tons of people who never saw me say that. ^^ My bad. I totally agree with you. Thought I was being funny but in hindsight I should have known better. Again, I have no problem with Baekyun at all. If I have any dislike.... it could be towards recent SM doings but that is about it. Have a great day. ^^ And apologies again.

It's sad that you cant like Baekhyun because of his past relationship where Baek was really hurt and suffered a lot as well probably had it worse being hated by both EXOLs and GG fanboys.

[@komerican-og]

I am sure it was rough for him too. Why did EXOL hate Baekhyun? Probably fangirl thing but that seems totally unwarranted. He sure was old enough. BTW I am not that serious about it. Obviously I am not that type of a fan 'OLD GUY-OG' ^^ It is ridiculous how these idols have hard time dating but it is getting better though.

[@key8033]

it was because it was earlier on in exos career and baek was one of the most popular members, and it was also during the time that both exo and gg were going through hard times so people saw the relationship as "selfish", but obviously the hate was still unwarranted. it is getting better but not good enough, since chen still gets so much hate.@@komerican-og

[@komerican-og]

@@key8033 I really do not see a complete remedy for it. If one becomes mature enough, you can dissociate your self from your idol in a realistic way but for some younger or immature fans it could be difficult. It will not completely go away but I guess some of it comes with the territory. ^^ Lets hope for the best. We all need love and relationships.......

But more than their talents their humbleness and love for each other as brothers is what I love about them. Thank you for checking them out again.

[@zeeniarathore9334]

Um, i would respectfully say that you need an update about EXO since so much has changed in the last decade. maybe do a guide? we are also not up for even any passing comments about who they dated or are dating in the big year of 2023. but i appreciate you appreciating their talent and music and how they are the last of the ones keeping SM's og sound alive along with RedVelvet. Baekhyun's "wink" is a habit of his as you caught on quickly. Chen is a main vocal as well, chanyeol always could sing, just got assigned to rap mainly. sadly Kai wasnt here. they are easts as soloists as well. you will know ponce you see more of them. they're doing more than "hanging on" until now bcz they earned a space for themselves in the industry as a group and as individual artists

[@beamiras7690]

They got better. I love EXO!❤👑

[@ChanyeolsHaneul]

Actually EXO still do those voice sticks, harmonies and so on. Their B-sides are even better than their title tracks. EXO is the first kpop group that had a concept, and they still use it. They are Aliens with superpowers sent to earth by their Mama to protect us from the evil of the red forces that try to destroy the heart of the tree of life and get EXO'S superpowers. 😊 Kai is the one that have teleportation powers and Chanyeol was the Fire phoenix in Mama. They were do young back then. All of them are excellent vocalist and Chanyeol, Suho and Chen are amazing songwriters uoo ( Chanyeol is also a music producer and have his own producing studio) D.O is coming up with a new album soon. ( the 18 of this month) Could I suggest you, if you are interested in coming back to EXO'S planet 😊, to check some of their solo and subunit stuff and maybe they new album? Don't mess up my Tempo album is still my top favourite album from them but EXIST is really good and it has a retro vibe. Suho: Grey Suit Xiumin: Brand New BaekHyun: Bambi Chen: Last Scene Chanyeol: Tomorrow D.O: Rose ( or his new stuff coming up) Kai: Mmmh ( cause his teleportation power is very visual in that MV) Sehun: On Me ( the MV is short but the song in the album is longer, similarly to Nothin' by Chanyeol) this is the only solo song he has but we hope he let us a new song, as is their costume, when he enlist. From EXO-SC: I recommend Closer to you, and the B-sides Daydreamin and Jet Lag. In the Exist album, Chanyeol participated in writing the lyrics for the Song Regret it. 😊😊😊

I’m glad you enjoyed their performance. I’m still not sure why the Taeyon/Baekyun “scandal” caused you to reflect poorly on Baekyun, but maybe you’d like to put that in the past.

[@Pitapat819]

What’s your fave early SNSD song? Mine is Himnae/Way to Go! Haha. I’m also an OG SONE and an EXO-L hehe. Personally, I loved Taeng and Baek together haha but mainly because I feel they’re both singers that infuse a lot of emotions into their songs. It’s such a waste that we will never get a collab because of that. I’m very happy that my favorite groups are all doing quite well whether in group stuff or individually. I just hope SM can do better for all their groups. I feel like I’ve seen it all from SM since my favorite groups are there and I’ve been here since 2007… Yeah Chanyeol is the main rapper, but he always got singing parts. It’s increased a bit as the years went by. He had surgery for vocal nodules a few years back and then afterwards went to vocal lessons with Baekhyun to improve and I guess prevent the same from happening again. He sings with more ease now compared to 2017/8. I think being in military musicals also kind of built his and Xiumin’s confidence more too (aside from Kai and Sehun, they’ve all been in musicals by now).

[@komerican-og]

OMG!!!!!!! Unbelievable. Mine is Himnae Too!! For Real. It never is favorite for most. During the financial crisis I lost my company and was going through worst of times. I was sent alone to a foreign country to do some crazy stuff and during that time the song just gave me so much hope and helped me not to give up. It is a very special song that made me a sone.

@@komerican-ogoh and by the way, i always fall into this things where my fave stuff from an SM group are their earlier songs.

But I guess I’m just the nostalgic type and I look for the sound that got me into them in the first place.
