Reacting to EXO-M! "MAMA, WHAT IS LOVE, Growl & History" MVs!

[@Unknownplanet9]

There is 2 song I want you to react to in both versions is ''what if" Eldorado " cause baekhyun and Chen high notes in it is one of the most beautiful sounds ever especially Jongdae in the Chinese version.

This era is nostalgic. Luhan has most the positions checked: Main vocals, Main dancer, Visual, Center. 👀

[@dinmjh2173]

Back then, I didn't believe that EXO could still be very, very successful when Luhan left the group, because as we all know how popular he is. Almost everyone who knows exo must be people's bias is Luhan. I know Baekhyun, Chanyeol, Sehun, D.O., Kai and Xiumin are also popular but Luhan is still a really popular member, it's a shame he chose to leave the group. because if he's still in the group I'm sure SM will really privilege him in solo activities such as acting, solo debut, collab, modeling and etc, because he is the next visual and ace in SM

[@schmood7135]

He really was, was also the face of the group alongside kai 😭

[@faceofvision]

The M versions hit hard. I love Luhan X Chen in What Is Love. Another personal favorite is First Love!

[@exomake_mehorololo]

Same!!! The EXOM version has always been my fav

[@wilmalacson7630]

Finally, thank you so much for this. You are right, Luhan's powers was Telekenesis, Kris was flight, and Tao was Time Control. The rap part in MAMA was Xiumin and Kris. I agree with you, EXO-M versions are my vibe, not that I don't like EXO-K, but EXO-M just hits different. Especially Overdose, that was so lit for me.

[@ohoratkkaebsong]

Even though EXO-K and EXO-M songs are basically the same tune but different language, they feel so different. The way Luhan and Chen sing these songs, it gives us a different vibe. And you are right, EXO-M songs do feel more aggressive

[@exomake_mehorololo]

Yes. They have unique sound and always were more edgy like the bad boy version of EXO K

[@yami0204]

If you want to see Tao doing some martial arts/wushu stuff, both of his solo predebut teasers feature him doing moves both with and without weapons. His second teaser was the first time he ever used his martial arts against actual opponents. I can't remember if he cried afterwards, but knowing Tao he likely cried for a little while after pretending to beat people up. He was a sensitive nugget back then. Tao is still active (under the name ZTAO) and his solo work is very good!

Hi! EXO-M Stan here. To answer your question 24:33 Yes they did became extremely popular in China but the most popular members back then were Luhan/Kris and if my memory serves right, Chanyeol also was pretty popular. Now Chanyeol/Sehun have the biggest fanbases among EXO members (except Lay). And they still are incredibly popular in China. They even surpassed Kings of Kpop BigBang!

[@exomake_mehorololo]

Also Baekhyun was always popular too in China. Especially as ChanBaek ship.

[@exomake_mehorololo]

It's nice seeing an EXOM stan here. It's like it's only 5 of us left

[@gretthalai4934]

@@exomake_mehorololo True

[@po-razzi]

Also, to answer your popularity in China question, Exo-K members indeed became popular in China! Often the entire group would promote on shows together in China. Sehun in particular became extremely popular, perhaps due to his super close friendship with Luhan (HunHan was an extremely popular ship in all countries) and still to this day is one of the, if not thee, most popular Korean idol and boasts one of the biggest and richest Bars (organized fandom/clubs for celebrities). As for the Chinese versions coming off as more aggressive, it could be due in part to the tones in Chinese but honestly I accredit it to Jongdae being extremely overpowered in terms of vocals in comparison to Lay, Xiumin, and Luhan (although both good singers) whereas K had Baekhyun and Kyungsoo who, power wise, are pretty equal and balanced each other out. So to have Jongdae being so powerful and loud, followed up by softer vocalists, alongside rougher rapping vocals from Kris, I think it overall makes the songs appear 'more', if that makes sense?

[@exomake_mehorololo]

I think overall EXOM had a sharper sound. Luhan is the only really soft voiced one. Lay sings w a sharper pitch too so does Xiumin in many songs plus his rapping is quite deep and manly too. Taos rapping is rougher too. They always sound like the cool guy version

[@po-razzi]

@@exomake_mehorololo Yeah, I'll totally agree about the 'cool guy version'! I always listen to M's version when I really want to hear the songs go all out lol

[@xing_xoxo6205]

EXO-K members do have fans in China, esp Sehun and Chanyeol. They have been to several shows in China as a group after Wolf and Growl, thus their growing fanbase. Probably the reason why those two even have movies/series in China. Thanks for reacting to EXO-M, Sir Austin. Love that you are giving them a chance bec a lot of fans didn't even try to check on them. They are pretty much a part of EXO, even if the 3 members are no longer with the group.

[@exomake_mehorololo]

It's sad that most EXOL nowadays don't listen to them or don't even know sometimes these versions exist

[@lychee7391]

What I admire about Minseok and Jongdae is that, they debuted singing in a foreign languange, they barely knew about and Jongdae(a main vocal) only train for 4 months. They're just amazing. This two made me love exo m the most.

[@ohoratkkaebsong]

You are right!Luhan’s superpower was Telekinesis. And Kris’ was Flight

[@holyelectr0]

I like when people react to the Chinese versions, it makes me smile... I know there is history with the members that have left but if people skip those versions completely they are missing soooo much from Xiumin, Chen and Lay. The Chinese version of Call Me Baby will always be number one in my book lol

[@roseoftheday582]

The Mandarin version of What is Love has always been my favorite of the two versions. Something about the flow of the words with that melody and instrumental just seem so fluid and elegant. I love it.

[@syafiqahabdullah8016]

I love and goosebumps everytime Chen sing the high note.. my always bias ever n ever.. I love all member exo .. miss them so muchhh ..

[@depressed_firefly]

Kris had superpower of flight and it was corresponding with Chanyeol's power of fire (they were "represented" by dragon and phoenix respectively) hence that feather in fire Kris held in MAMA MV

[@fanchenworld]

Chen's vocals are insanely powerful . Chen Luhan are really great . What is love giving me goosebumps .

[@yvannasakall9344]

I think one of Sehun's biggest fanbase is from China, Chines EXO-L's is scary, even SM is scared of them to the point that when Xunqis (i think thats the fandom name of Sehun in China) ask SM to give Sehun more line in their song, then SM give Sehun more line after that. They are only scary when they are dealing with EXO's antis when they went overboard

I kinda get what you said in the end! I listen to all of Tao and Lay´s music nowadays and it being in chinese really does give it a different vibe!

[@milindawilson9175]

The Chinese versions of EXO songs are my favorite versions. And anyone who doesn't watch the Chinese versions I think are truly missing out. If you like EXO's Chinese versions, you will probably feel the same way about Super Junior-M's Chinese versions of their songs too. (Super Junior-M is the Mandarin Chinese sub-unit, but they produce all their songs in both Korean and Chinese too.) It's kind of like how WayV's Chinese versions of their songs have a completely different feel then their Korean or English versions. I think the difference in the songs you are hearing between the EXO-K and EXO-M versions, aren't just because they are different singers. But I think the songs are intentionally structured to sound a little different because the style of song and what appeals to a Korean audience is different than the music style that a Chinese audience is drawn to. So, for example, Chen's and Luhan's voices in the EXO-M MV is meant to have the more lyrical sound and style of Chinese songs, where Baekhyun's and D.O.'s more sultry R&B vocals are what Korean audiences like. I am so glad you also took the time to watch the EXO-M version of all of these songs, but especially "Mama." Now you see why it was important to see both versions. If you watch all versions of everything EXO does -- even if you don't react to both -- you might be able to understand a little more about EXO's mission and everything they have been sent to Earth to do. Although, the EXO-K and EXO-M versions of their MVs may look similar on the surface. None of them ever use the same footage in both MVs. The scenes that look the same only look the same because they wanted them to, but they were all shot separately. Even when all 12 or 9 members are involved in both MVs, it's never the same because the members are all given different parts depending on the version that you watch. The EXO-K or Korean versions are meant to tell the story from EXO-K's point of view, where the EXO-M or Mandarin versions tell EXO-M's side of the story. As you know, "Mama" was released in 2012, so this is more than 9 years ago. Xiumin, the oldest, was about 22 at this time and Sehun and Kai, who are the youngest, were about 18. However, if you remember, Suho and Kai were the members that trained the longest with the company before they debuted. Suho was a trainee for 7 years -- he began when he was about 14 years old (he was about 21 when he debuted) -- and Kai was a trainee for about 6 years -- he started training when he was about 12. But Baekhyun was only a trainee for about 6 months before he debuted. He was one of the older trainees at about 20 years old. So this just goes to show you the amount of hard word, dedication and talent that EXO has. You also should look up the lyrics for "Mama." As you noticed, the majority of their chant is in English: "Shoot anonymous, anonymous; Heartless, mindless; No one who care about me ... Careless, careless (Mama: Mama in Korean means Your Majesty); Shoot anonymous, anonymous (Mama); Heartless, mindless (Mama); No one who care about me (Mama)" In the beginning EXO's Mandarin MVs were subbed in Korean to help them appeal to a Korean audience. Also, if you pay attention to what the whole "Mama" song is talking about and what the lyrics mean it will give you even more insight into why EXO have been sent to Earth and what their mission is all about. However, if you look up the English translation to both the Korean and Mandarin versions of any of their songs, you will see that the lyrics are slightly different, because the story is being told from different perspectives. EXO's storyline begins with them being sent to Earth to try and heal the world and to stop and prevent the Red Force from taking over and corrupting everything. And the story in the lyrics of "Mama" foreshadows what they will have to overcome and understand about humans and our world to accomplish their tasks. EXO kind of takes humanity to task and asks us to explain why we would allow all this anger and hatred to cloud everything around us and why we don't love each other more? It's really a very beautiful message and the more you learn about EXO the more interesting the whole thing becomes. In the song the members, being aliens from another planet, are struggling to understand how we as humans could allow all this evil and bad things to happen all around us, such as war, hate and the destruction of the environment etc. and they are daunted by the fact that they are now tasked with figuring out how to fix it all and prevent more evil from taking place. That's why they need to find the two halves of the Tree of Life and reunite them to restore peace. When you see the members all together in their "Mama" MVs they are together because they are still on Planet Exo, where they are still united. But when you see them separated it is when they have all been sent to Earth.They keep flashing back and forth between present moments and recent past moments. So, how I interpret it is that at the end they aren't back together yet, but that is a scene from when they were still on EXO Planet as they are preparing to be sent to Earth. The two worlds the narrator talks about in the introduction could possibly be different dimensions, so you often see parts of their story which could be interpreted as them being in different dimensions or time periods or different moments in history. Each of the members in EXO-K has a counterpart in EXO-M so part of what you were seeing in these MVs was them showing you which EXO-K member corresponded with which EXO-M member. For example, Suho (EXO-K) with the power of water corresponds with Xiumin (EXO-M) who has the power of frost/ice; and Chanyeol (EXO-K) with the power of fire is Kris' (EXO-M) counterpart because he is the power of flight, and as you saw in the EXO-M MV, Chanyeol has the power of the phoenix and Kris has the power of the dragon which both animal spirits have fire elements and flight so they connect; D.O. (EXO-K) with the power of force and Chen (EXO-M) with the power of thunder/lightning; and Sehun (EXO-K) who has the power of wind is connected to Tao (EXO-M) who controls time; Baekhyun (K) with the power of light and Lay (M) with the power of healing; and Kai (K) with teleportation and Luhan (M) with telekinesis; etc. That's how they maintain their bond even as members of separate groups. Also, each member in EXO-K has a counterpart in EXO-M that fills the same role in each group. For example, D.O. is the main vocalist in EXO-K and Chen is the main vocalist in EXO-M; Baekhyun is the other main vocalist in K and Luhan was the other main vocalist in M; Chanyeol is the main rapper in K and Kris was the main rapper in M; Sehun is the lead rapper in K and Xiumin is the lead rapper in M; Kai is the main dancer in K and Lay is the main dancer in M; and then it's Suho is a lead vocalist in K and Tao was a rapper/vocalist in M (I'm not sure how these two really work together because Tao is more of a rapper and Suho is a vocalist, but because they are the last two they are put together. Just FYI: Although it looks like Kris (and in the EXO-K version Kai) are the ones that do that high note at the end of the screamo section, really the voice you are hearing is Chen (and Baekhyun in the EXO-K version). Tao is the one that can flip and jump like that, so he is the one that is always doing it in all of EXO's early MVs. (He does it in both the EXO-M and EXO-K MVs.) If you watch EXO's 23 pre-debut teaser videos, in at least one of them you will see Tao showcasing his martial arts skills and see that all his moves are 100% real. He can really flip and jump and spin like that and if in a battle he could kick butt. The numerous injuries he sustained from having to do those stunts in MVs and during live performances and on variety shows, etc. is one of the reasons why he left the group. The sword is real and he also often uses a staff. As mentioned before, EXO's story is part supernatural and Sci-Fi and part based on reality, which touches on real life events and things that are really happening in the world. And from the very beginning, even during pre-debut days, and everything since then and everything yet to come, it all is connected to this storyline. Everything EXO does and everything you see from them, including Baekhyun and Kai's parts in SuperM, all has something to do with the concept and story that began with "Mama," and each new installment of something from the members expands a little further on EXO's story. Whether it's an MV from the group, a solo project from one of the members, a sub-unit project, a live performance, teaser videos, concert VCRs, or even a good amount of their choreography, it all has been designed to connect to EXO's storyline. It's kind of mind blowing the amount of planning and manipulation SM has been doing over the years to connect all the dots and to continue the story. It gets even crazier when you realize how even the most minute of details were crafted to be a hidden message or detail within that storyline. Fun fact: Remember how Kai dropped his hat in the Korean version of "Growl"? In the EXO-M version, if you know what you're looking for, you will see that Suho steps on Sehun's foot and Sehun playfully hits him as he does it.

I think Tao would have been my bias too. I've been growing to like him. Just recently started to learn more of him.

[@exomake_mehorololo]

EXOL that never listen to EXOM severely miss out on the amazing vocals from Jongdae, Luhan, Xiumin and Lay. Xiumin and Lay had so much more line's singing and rapping then we'll ever see in the early MVs or even to this day. And Jongdae slayed all the iconic killing parts people only know from Baekhyun or Kyungsoo. Don't miss out on EXOM people. Plus rapping!! Both Kris and Tao are really good rappers.

[@roseoftheday582]

Also fun fact: when EXO-M’s version of the History MV was released, they hadn’t properly edited it and left in one major flub; Kris’ zipper was all the way down and it was…noticeable to say the least. It took them days to take down the video to re-edit it. Ahh, the good ol’ days when mistakes were commonly left in the music videos until fans pointed them out. If you search up “EXO M Kris zipper down history” it should pop up LMAO

I followed every exo teaser from the day Kai’s first teaser dropped and I remember everyone was SO SHOOK when history dropped because it was our first time hearing their voices…. Kai’s was so deep and no one expected lay’s to be so sweet.

Hope you can react also react to exo showtime. I also watch your uploads on the website 😂👍

[@giannagomez720]

Me too, i felt that exo-m was a lot more edgier than exo-k. I think may be because the average age of exo-m is older. I think. I checked out exo because of watching kyungsoo but when i saw their earlier MVs, i prefer the m-versions.

The chinese version of What is Love is so much better

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! YOU MADE OUR DAY SIR AUSTIN! HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL! ALWAYS TAKE CARE 💗

Oh my god.. as an ex EXO-L myself, I really can relate to the good ol' ot-12 days so much I can cry 😭 Despite of all the controversies of the former M members, I really really do prefer OT12 days more. I was an avid and almost fanatic fan of EXO in the past. But I left the fandom after Tao left the group because I simply can't take it anymore. It was so so hurt for me. Also their music styles are constantly changing and after Monster era, I really didn't feel like their releases suit my taste anymore (especially when they released Ko Ko Bop, I really wanted to love or even like it a bit but I can't because it was too different from EXO's music styles that I used to like so much 🥲). And yeah, over the years when I encountered EXO reaction videos especially OT-12 era I really got emotional and even wanted to turn back time if I can. I really want to experience that again, when they are still pre-debut until they got onto the top of K-Pop music industry in Growl era. I miss those days :")

more EXO more LOVE 🧡

[@ladymidnight8136]

P.S. you have to understand that Exo-K & M really were 2 different groups in different languages & countries since M were based in China, & I don't know if you've noticed but not only R the videos different until Lucky One/Monster comeback, all of the b sides of every album b4 that only featured the members of that subunit, & the only way to hear all members on a song that wasn't a title track was a concert/concert CD, so even after members left the music was still separate until Ex'Act

[@gretthalai4934]

Fun fact: I've been an EXO-L since the beginning but I thought the group was called EXO-M and I was surprised when I found out there were more members in the group, since in the MAMA M version the K members rarely appear.

[@allysonwolf5721]

I love when Baekhyun sings a little bit more, but I do like Chens voice. I just have a love for Baekhyun more. But I think all of EXO has amazing voices even the rappers. And I would Take Lays power any day, the power of healing will come in handy and I just love the good in it. Or I would go with Baekhyuns because you always need light in your life.

[@meinexo8438]

Finally exoooooo Miss your exo reaction

[@nonon.8027]

Chanyeol and Sehun have the biggest fanbases in China which is interesting as they were in EXO-K
