[@ManonLcz]

"Oh hey.. you're good looking" me every time I see Baekhyun in fact

[@sysynbhhty3636]

Manon Lcz where did he said that

[@ManonLcz]

syasya nabihah suhaimi 4:40

[@somethingsomethinglastname9206]

I actually laughed at that part because same

[@reallythinredglasses9386]

Manon Lcz pffft it’s so goddamn tru

[@puffy_pawww5404]

I was impressed by what he said here

[@elinlindkvist1644]

"Oh, that's beautiful, being tied up by the ropes." That's kinda kinky

[@joovy__]

Elin Lindkvist That's what I thought too. LMAO

[@reynasoraten5553]

😂😂😂

[@luu0w0]

“oh hey, You’re good-looking“. XD

[@wabi-sabi9385]

ShimmyShimmyKoKoBop same hahaha😂😂😂👏👏

[@malekfarhat2053]

*Baekhyun shows up* "Oh Hey .. You're good-looking" I RELATE SO MUCH BOI

[@jaleentaniegra8439]

can we just take a moment and talk about how this kind of quality content videos exist? i love how relevant his words are and how he mostly focused on the mv and the composition of the song. he's so different and to be honest i find it difficult to find reaction videos like this im so glad that he exists thank you so much

[@chuuri]

yes +100000

[@AvieComia]

lioness i 100% agree!

[@cindy6939]

check out musicians react to kpop

[@MattShubert]

lioness agreed, this channel and ReactToTheK are the only ones worth watching for kpop reactions.

[@beesfordays3455]

definitely agreed. most react to kpop YT-ers are just riding the hype and "reacting" by exaggerating and not actually saying anything to contribute ideas about the songs or music videos.... it gets really obnoxious and im suuuuper happy i found this guy as well as musicians react

[@CanadaAndKumajiro]

I honestly never cared much for ballads before I became an EXO-L, and this song just proves why in my mind. No one does ballads quite like EXO does - all of theirs are able to really make me feel, and I don’t think it’s just me being biased either.

[@rushda02]

Sarah Porter I loved Ballads before I became an EXO-L, but after becoming an EXO-L, I literally cannot listen to ballads by anyone except EXO anymore. That's how much they ruined me for everyone else.

[@MsGirlCharli]

Totally true. I cringed in ballads but now I’m becoming sentimental especially when its EXO’s winter albums.

[@bpjs6273]

SENZES I agree SM’s vocal line is fucking fantastic and when they do ballads their voices are enough to make me tear up😥💖

[@ska4666]

I wasn't a Fan of Ballads either, but only EXO made me Re-Think about my Music Taste, and Now every other artist get Boring for Me, jeez thanks to EXO 😅

[@jennieteddybead553]

same

[@ovaaak4669]

The whole winter album is so amazing , pls check it out

[@Buffaylo]

Agree! The whole album is masterpiece. I'm serious 😍

[@fancyroses5798]

Yes please check it out 😍

[@lainerinne]

I know right! I dunno why I am crying while typing that 😅

[@hazielvelono8012]

PLSSSSSSSS

[@jadecarey7140]

"oh hey you're good looking" another quality observation good work

[@Hannah0465]

"Oh hey you're good looking" 😂😂 sounds like me when i first found EXO

[@Shelbster1193]

I recommend listening to the whole winter album. It's beautiful and very different from what they normally do. Ecspecially the song Been Through, its become one of my favorite Exo songs. 🤘🏻

[@elizamd95]

Shelbster1193 I like it too, but my favorite is Fall! I’m not even an exo-l lol, I’m a Starlight but I fell in love with the album

[@Shelbster1193]

Eliza M fall is my other favorite! I love Vixx as well btw! 🖤

[@elizamd95]

Shelbster1193 VIXXO❤️❤️

[@Shelbster1193]

Eliza M ken doesn't know it yet, but he's the love of my life 🙌🏻😂

[@elizamd95]

Shelbster1193 omg hahaha then I’m gonna tell you a secret too. I wanna kidnap D.O and keep him in my pocket forever, he’s so precious😂

[@mersimamuminovic6318]

I love your commentary. Universe is also my favourite EXO song so far. I felt the same way, when D.O started singing and then Chen, but I have to mention Xiumin singing the last chorus. His voice hit me the most, I just didn't expect it. So beautiful.

[@immoore4614]

Mersima Muminovic x YAS MY BBY GOT APPRECIATION

[@BrehiaReacts]

Yes same! Like my favorite vocal voice in EXO (though they all have beautiful voices lets be honest lol) is Chen, Xiumin part killed. I love how the mv showed the passion and stuff in his voice & face. Plus I'm just a tad bit biased because Xiumin is one of my biases in EXO (I have 4 ok lol)

[@leungside]

Appreciation of Xiumin :)

[@raincraze]

Ikr! That part literally made me tear up. Idek why I was crying but ugh this song was so powerful! And xiumin’s part was made for him. Just wow. I have so many feels for the MV and the vocals.

[@sam.xcz23]

I'm a newish Exo-L (I listened to EXO's music but now I'm finally learning their names) The first time I watched this I got chills and cried I'm not even gonna lie. I get such a calm but yearning feeling when I listen to this. I still get chills every time I hear it. EXO's vocals always awe me.

[@bugu7323]

I lost my jams slipping into the diamond life im new too! its been 2 month ❤

[@purplegirl61126]

since when you bocome an exol ?

[@miguelisaac6464]

im exol since she liked Exo, I seriously hope you are not trying to be disrespectful to her/him exols are not like that.

[@purplegirl61126]

+Miguel Sifuentes hahahaha you misunderstood me. im just trying to ask her/him when did she start to join our fandom. sorry maybe the way i ask him/her look rude :')

[@charisse7601]

It’s been exactly one year for me welcome to the fandom! appreciate them more

[@Lauren-gw5yj]

"Oh, hey. You're good-looking." Same.

[@Umiverso]

I think that together with Sing For You this is my favorite EXO's mv. I really like the coffee theme and the song & lyrics are so so so so warm yet sad but good ;;♥ I was waiting for your reaction!

[@jigsawwolf3414]

Na Terra do Kimchi Like idk whenever they release something in winter it gets me so hard like miracles in december, sing for you, for life, universe like idk it touches me so deeply...❤️

[@yehetexo8987]

Na Terra do Kimchi same here 👌I really loved sing for you

[@yaninav2708]

Okay I'm an exo-l and I've literally cried while watching this mv. I love everything about it and the song is such a masterpiece. So breathtaking. I like the war a lot but cafe universe is definitely now my favourite album. By the way thank you for you reaction. I'm really happy to see you've liked it

[@theluxuryoflife5076]

jane_ 3904 i cried no matter how many time i watched universe mv. Each and every single i watched .

[@codename-pi]

As some K-netizens suggested I suppose, EXO's winter album edition from MID, Sing For You, For Life, until Universe is something else. It felt like a whole other universe (pun intended) from their main promotion, and it's beautifully gorgeous.

[@havensong5568]

I agree with you

[@joovy__]

"Oh hey, you are good looking" me is like "OH YES HE IS!!!"

[@ellion2676]

Usually (and I don't know why) the first time I hear an EXO song, it doesn't capture my attention, BUT if I listen to it a second time, I can't get it out of my head. This video and the beautiful vocals immediately captured my attention. There is a quietness to the song and video that really expresses that yearning. It really allows the vocals to be the center of attention. It also highlights just how attractive the members are, lol. (Sry, I'm only human and those are some pretty men!) :D

[@selfportrait195]

Ellion pretty men indeed 😉

[@victoriahierro8797]

'We were born to be obsessed with their music' remember the line from EXO's intro in MMA 2016 😂 😂

[@saraloveslfc]

actually universe was amazing but other songs on the album like stay, fall and been through really made this album one of my favourites if not my favourite exo album. you should check out the whole album, it was genuinely a masterpiece imo :)

[@rol969]

Sara 1892 I love fall😍

[@peachplease3221]

I love Been through and Stay and the lyrics for lights out

[@MrDdog678]

Hey man you gotta check out, another song on this album, it’s called “Lights Out” it’s a very powerful ballad done by the vocalists of EXO. I think it goes hand in hand with Universe

[@megan4347]

MrDdog678 I LOVE LIGHTS OUT I never find anyone else who likes it but it’s so amazing and the lyrics are beautiful

[@jeangrey6368]

YASSSS

[@ska4666]

Damn What Song by EXO is Average, all manage to sound Fu*kin Dope n so different somehow..

[@ethomson62]

I cried the first time I heard this.... Jk I cry everytime I listen to it. It’s so powerful, “I’ll search the universe” literally gives me goosebumps and butterflies, Xiumin’s chorus in particular.

[@alicehealy99]

"This is-- oh hey, you're good-looking" ME

[@lauerbach2469]

Exo vocals are no joke. Every single winter album comes out with the most beautiful ballads and tracks that give me goosebumps 😭💕

[@elianekamerbeek368]

ikrrr the cinematography in this MV was sooo great!!!!

[@bubu_lubu]

10/10 were my exact feelings too

[@danielle-mv1lt]

i only found out recently that exo releases amazing ballads. cant believe i missed out on a lot of their songs cause i thought they only released "pop" songs 😩

[@jas8288]

EXO is very well known for their beautiful vocals, even non EXO-Ls will admit it. Their voices are just so perfect for ballads and their slow songs are honestly so amazing.

[@jenlolo8902]

Watch sing for you that mv to me is more touching than this but maybe because has more meaning to their fans

[@Buffaylo]

They always have at least 1 ballad in a big comeback's album. And also they always release a winter album (mostly ballad) every year

[@ArushiAggarwal]

you should honestly check out the entire album! it's really good and has tracks that I am pretty sure you would like

[@-neoculturetech-8431]

*Baekhyun pops up~"Ohh, Hey you're good looking"~My reaction to him always*

[@ree7388]

One word to describe the MV-aesthetic.

[@globalkingsexo8071]

hands down my fav exo song and album. do a first listen!!! the album is breathtakingly beautiful

[@MissRoccari]

it was junmyeon aka suho standing with that white curtain flowing around his feet and falling behind him!

[@xXLittleBassistXx]

Ah, I loved this reaction! I'm really interested in what artists themselves have to say about music and music videos because I aspire to be an artist as well one day. So thank you for your insight. And I really agree with you, this MV and the song just kind of "smell" and "taste" like coffee to me. I absolutely love it and it's one of my favorite EXO songs to date.

[@25AGrace]

Thanks for all your insight! I love watching reactors who understand the technical side of things, and you're my fave :)

[@anasroshad9384]

25AGrace yup. Not like the rest of just reactors utubers who makes too much noise overreacting n complains about clothings but know nothing about the technicalities of mv-making, songs, musics and lyrics.

[@nonofyourdamnbusiness7537]

If you loved Universe then you should listen to the album; The whole album was unexpected (which is what EXO is known for) especially for a winter album that has songs like Been Through, Fall and Lights Out.

[@wlgus3734]

The lyrics can be summarized as 'I'll search the whole universe until I find you because that's what love is.' and considering every winter song by EXO is for fans(so 'you=fans'), the lyric is very moving. As you said it is so romantic and a little addition of tragedy (for me, of lyrics) maximizes the mood.

[@Ghues]

That is one hell of a nice coffee commercial.

[@toriwenzel2758]

Hi, Producer-nim! EXO has a tradition of giving christmas (sad) ballads to their fans haha. Have you heard Miracles in December? you totally should :) Thank you for loving this song as much as EXO-Ls haha.

[@praetoriatormont3502]

We really saw that you're a video producer here, you talked a lot about the mv itself and it's sooo good to hear such a professional view !!

[@selfportrait195]

Praetoria Tormont ikr

[@celiakmusic425]

The live version is also very beautiful, as always with Exo ... I saw this mv at least 5/6 times, and each time, I saw details that I missed before. Everything, almost every scenes in this mv are there for a reason, even the two shots with Chanyeol taking off his sweater.

[@gianninaaman]

This MV is just so gorgeous! The colors and the themes! And I agree when Chen first said "I'll search the universe" I got goosebumps.

[@viv1871]

"Oh hey your good looking". I'm dying omg 😂😂 I love your reactions they make me laugh. Keep it up!!

[@SumireIsrafel]

If you liked universe you'll LOVE been through! Even if you don't do a reaction you should listen and let us know how you like it on Twitter. I thought universe was it for me until I listened to been through, its honestly better when I didn't think that was possible. I'm not an exol by any means but exo has my respect and love for these two songs, they are gorgeous.

[@nmeditz9654]

4:40 Yeah I can relate he is perfect ❤️

[@calle3193]

You're right. I'm an EXO-L who cried when Universe was released. And I still feel like crying when I watch the video again...

[@rawreiiiiiii]

This winter album is actually really really good, and I am not saying that because I stan them, but it's because the vocals and visuals, instrumentals along with the melody and harmonizations matched very well together. The song in the album have very meaningful lyrics, and they're the type of songs you can listen to during rainy days, more in winter with the cold weather. and yes. *I CRIED*

[@elio5896]

One of my favorite EXO videos of one of my favorite EXO songs from one of my favorite EXO albums...... yep i'm done. this song is so beautiful, it's so ethereal. the video is amazing too, it translates the song into visual very well in such a consistently warm and cozy way. and the album's just great, my favorite track other than Universe is Been Through - love the beat and how it was produced and the lyrics 💗💗💗

[@user-xn5jw1cj3k]

I love Universe immediately❤️❤️❤️and the rest of the songs in this album too. I hope you can give it a chance to listen to the whole album and give thoughts about it :)

[@hotchoco448]

I really love this reaction video. First if all, most of the people who do reaction to this video think this is coffee CF and they act like funny. They dont understand that these brown colours add the warmth and here you who mentioned abt this. Love u !!

[@fromtheskies7947]

Yes even without the music video the song is independently legendary on it's own. A lot of my non EXO-L friends loved it because even though the song is in Korean and we don't speak Korean, it's so heavy and filled with emotion especially when Baekhyun sings and ahhhhhhh Universe is just so perfect would have been my favorite EXO album is Lay had just been included in it :'(

[@divi6624]

"oh hey you're good looking" honestly me with every kpop idol

[@bigrat4780]

goosebumps are impossible to avoid when I watch universe. I love that there was a struggle at first: the knots, the chaotic painting, chanyeol struggling with the clothing, then they resolve the issues afterwards. fucking amazing

[@kiraliciouss]

Who else came here to watch his reaction but ended up watching the music vid instead? 😂😭😭

[@cantbaekmedown04]

I was waiting for you to react to this!!! It's so late right now. But this came out so I dropped sleeping for now

[@Animely0]

Universe is the title track of exo winter album!

[@the_ELword]

i'm not even an EXO-L but when i first watched this music video i cried, just from how beautiful and emotional and intimate it is. this is hands down my favourite EXO song, which is saying something bc i'm a living breathing personification of Electric Kiss. also, i found out recently that the whole album is completely gender neutral! which is fucking tremendous!!! we love inclusive kings.

[@patriciaoroya1112]

I think i should make every exol see ur reaction!! Is so real and i truly feel it sincere ❤

[@kmq8257]

4:40 "oh hey, you're good looking" That's how i became a byun baekhyun stan

[@ninabalante3698]

I knew you'd appreciate this. The cinematography, schemes and symbolism in this video is beyond ones ability to recognize art.

[@s.6338]

Universe album is the best exo's winter album for now. Waaaah check that out

[@zentai6472]

I love how you go into every small detail in the song/video and give your opinions and ideas as to why they were incorporated in it

[@insegose8091]

As an EXO-L and a Carat, seeing my favorite Seventeen stan reacting to EXO has literally saved my year. Also, Universe and Monster are my two favorite EXO videos! Glad we're on point.

[@KY-ef5kv]

Yeah, literally I love this so much, baekhyun's voice omg I love his voice so much Oh, and all of EXO's member is really have great voice. Thank you so much for reacting this for us 😁

[@user-lz6zl4oc1n]

Baekhyun-vocal

[@FeNaKCm]

That explanation hits me so much. I've been like, getting so emotional whenever I am watching or listening deep meaning song. For me Universe slay my whole existence..because it is so beautiful. You right, it is so romantic, angsty, and tragic. I don't know if I was biased but this song and music video satisfying me. EXO always experimented with new concepts, I enjoy it throughly, and Universe steal my attention. That is, I love EXO so much I cry :) Your video is the best. I am thankful you make it :)

[@CrankDatJonasBoi]

You should give a listen to the whole winter album, I was shocked at how good it was. They’re really growing musically.

[@simplepurple22032001]

I really do recommend you to listen to the whole album, maybe it seems like I'm biased but seriously, the album is next level amazing.

[@immoore4614]

Finally! The vocals in Universe is legit the best I've seen from a ballad because it's so balanced. It's dramatic when needed and tones down when it has to. The electric guitar adds so much soul to it and the piano adds a comforting vibe to it. Its soo perfect. Btw special mention to Xiumin because he needs more recognition, he killes his part on the last chorus. I wish people would appreciate his vocals more.

[@laurenmiller149]

I mean, if we're tackling EXO and ballads, you need to hear Lay's Goodbye Christmas. The set dressing and editing are flawless and the song itself is spectacular!

[@zaprude]

I love how this video adds something to the song without overpowering it. It's balanced just perfectly. And in so many EXO songs, at least title tracks, their voices are drowned in over-production. But here their voices are brought to the forefront. It's magical.

[@toaster19_32]

i loved this mv too, it was understated without being boring and the exquisite exposition of the whole palette of browns proves how there is no such thing as an inferior color, its not about cramming in quantity but about clever mindful use of your elements; i dont mean it as shade i swear but its so easy to just be like its a sad one so make it black and white (sing for you) or in hues of blue cause thats so clever (For Life), i really feel like they built their own little self-contained universe lol where the sound the visuals the message are all a single entity and so connected they remind you of each other, and of course i appreciate them not going for the most obvious outer space aesthetic. that said i did not cry cause exo has so many good ballads, my personal fave and reliable tear-jerker is moonlight from the overdose mini that has a melancholic but somehow ethereal feel, it also has cheese electric guitar that is restrained enough it feels wrong to mock it in its context XD

[@diana-qf5dw]

I'm happy you loved this song. In my opinion this is definitely their best winter title track and one of the top 4 best winter songs. If you can please listen to the rest of the album! The best EXO winter album in my opinion. It has a chill and very mature sound in my opinion. P.s. you don't have to react to the album but if you could listen and do a short review that would be great :)

[@munchingcookies]

Please give the Universe winter album a listen! I promise you, you wont be disappointed. There's one ballad (correct me if I'm wrong) that's written by Chen called Light's Out and its absolutely beautiful. All the songs are really really good, its my favorite Exo album hands down.

[@jas8288]

Yes, it is written by Chen. The song itself is so beautiful but the lyrics are what make me love it so much, and that these meaningful lyrics are written by none other than our Kim Jongdae!

[@PZ0613]

Yes this is defitnetly one of my top EXO song! It gave me so much feels. This song was amazing!

[@jjuneidn1508]

Woww.. i love your words sir.. actually i'm student of visual comm design & i'm exol, so i wonder why i was crying when i firstly watch universe MV. Now i gef it all

[@itshayilaa7181]

this winter is so beautifully made all the songs fit together so well Im so happy

[@lia1159]

Universe is just perfection just as perfect as exo are. I wonder if there ever will be another group who has as perfect vocals as exo ever in kpop history. I am so glad o exist in the time where exo are making history.

[@alicelee13]

im so glad you liked it, universe absolutely killed me, hands down one of the best ballads i've heard

[@FANYKYR]

I cry with this song and i'm an Exo-L so that's true!!

[@franciellesantos7473]

I'm glad someone actually reacted to the beautiful transitions between the actual coffee and the effects they used to seem like the coffee steam, cream, milk, etc. THANK YOU.

[@lubnapatel1816]

The foam in the cup and then then the moving fabric. The steam from the machine and them steam surrounding the member. All these effects from my perspective just have the incredible effect of making a) everything feel connected like it is in a universe b) at the same time makes each person seem like a small piece and adds to the feeling of intimacy.

[@chimoshishifu407]

I have this song on my short repeat list! I love that this is just vocals, even rap line was singing! The MV tones are just so perfect, the browns are warm and soothing which fits this song so well. I also like how none of EXO was whitewashed here, we get to see their beautiful naturally warm skin tones for a change.

[@baekhyun_bias04byun98]

I love universe a lot. Watching it really gives me warmth and the visuals and vocals are to die for. I love it when cahnyeol harmonized with suho and baekhyun. They really did an awesome job

[@ednamodee]

everytime I hear this song I start crying , the lyrics are sad. The vocals help warm the song up

[@chennomomo4426]

Thanks you for reacting to this mv & for the nice words you have for it! The whole album is actually a gem! You'll probably like another song in the album as much as you like Universe!

[@zoeandrews893]

4:38 lmao me

[@mirela23b75]

Fammmmm!!!!!! You need to make a first listen to the album 😭😭😭

[@elenabunny9631]

Thank you for the reaction

[@danielleobina3878]

"Oh hey, you're good looking" Sooo me 😂

[@sx8849]

Thank you so muchhhh ❤️❤️❤️

[@michikodesu]

Notice they were really happy and smiling AFTER they drank the coffee, and the tangled went straight.........it’s the power of coffee! I’d search the universe for the perfect cup of coffee!!! Seriously though, I love this song. Would love to hear it acappella!!

[@luffythecat1291]

yes!! i agree with what you said at 6:46. this is my first time watching the music video, but i’ve been listening to this song on repeat for days. i’ve never really followed exo but this song came on shuffle and it was so breathtaking. and i wasn’t paying much attention to it at first but when chen said “i’ll search the universe” THATS when i was shook.

[@FeNaKCm]

I always comeback to see your reaction. Because yes. That was what I thought in my head

[@trishabyun3354]

idk why but i listened to this song for almost a hundredth times now but still the chills won't fade a bit

[@flylightlvia2181]

Honestly same, Universe is one of my favorite Exo songs and MV’s, it blew my mind on so many levels, and I recommend you listen to the full album I promise you won’t be disappointed

[@NicoleJosey]

I feel in love with the song and video in the first bar, gah EXO is just getting better and better

[@ying5322]

I fell in love with this song and the MV after this video, and I'm back and watch your reaction again. Whenever I listen to this beautiful song, the warm brown colour and the coffee scene plays in my mind too.

[@ashleyalvarez1601]

When I first heard and saw the 'Universe' mv, I cried. And I just cried again hearing all the beautiful commentary you had to say for this song and MV. I completely adore this song so much. Check out the rest of the album, you won't regret it.

[@reynecastle6654]

Thank you so much for your insight. I love everything you said.

[@flylightlvia2181]

I’m loving your reaction....you’re right I did cry

[@LetsExplore307]

The way you spoke about the video plus the vocals was so worthy,
