Also, none of us are PROFESSIONAL musicians.

Also please do not complain about any "boring" reactions...some of the musicians have blank faces since they are concentrating so deeply on analyzing the music.

People appreciating EXO vocals makes me so happy. I get so frustrated when some reaction channels don't even bat an eyelash when Chen hits a high note or at D.O.'s falsetto. EXO is really a group you HAVE to appreciate vocally. Also, Jongdae appreciation at 8:54. Finally!

[@i4linoz11]

Yeah, that's why I'm an exo-l, I search for talent & EXO got it all. I would say that EXO is the most talented group by far cause they got vocals (for real), rap & dance. I feel that people look down on them so much, their talent & fame didn't come from nowhere lmao

Finally. It's nice to see people who actually pay attention to underlying tones and beats in music. It's infuriating when people judge music without really paying attention to every aspect of it. I was so impressed by how they pointed out musical elements in the song that most people don't pay attention to or understand​. It's sooooo refreshing😄😄😭

Cant deny the fact that EXO actually invented and actually paved the way for KPOP to become much more well known. I can't forget about BIGBANG and 2ne1, SNSD too and Wonder Girls and Super Junior but we all know that EXO contributed a lot on KPOP. So, anyone who disregard EXO as one of the pioneers of KPOP, should have their own genre.

[@moonchxld3829]

why do we always forget ab shinee? 💀.shinee set the standards for choreography, the type of songs in their time, and were one of the first groups to debut with the kpop trainee system which SM invented. and there’s this guy (i forgot his name) but he’s from 1st gen and he’s a big dancer and this other lady who was the first to get kpop into japan.

There is only so much hate and fanwars going on because they are the two biggest groups of the 4th generation, unlike previous generations where one group slays, the 4th generation have two. Don't worry, when the 5th generation comes around, the fanwars between these two groups will die down LOL.

[@KunoBaka0908]

I don't understand how EXO has always been looked down upon when they produced such quality music since debut days. The MAMA debut was bomb, Growl was and always will be a top notch song as production value, singing, dancing, visual, everything. EXO's talent is up there, high up there. I think they're one of the best group vocally.

[@lll3069]

It's because except chen, D.O, and baekhyun, everyone else gets small part of the song. And some members like Sehun and Kai, I am not hating them but let's be honest, they can't really sing well. That's why people always looked down on EXO. Yes the songs are great, I love most of their song. The quality of the videos, dance, performance are amazing. But in terms of singing, well, again, that's the reality. The first time I was introduced KPOP, the thing that I realize right away is not all members great at singing. And it's not just EXO, most of the groups. But since EXO is really popular, people critize them a lot. Just saying tho. Still love them :)

[@Jibriell]

Actually they have more good vocalists than most groups imo, there are groups that don't even have 1 strong vocalist and Kai is not a horrible vocalist either, he's just nowhere as good as the rest but he has a pleasant voice and well yes Sehun is lacking in that department but he has other talents.

[@KunoBaka0908]

I don't think the remain members have bad vocals at all. Even as a rapper, Chanyeol's vocal technique is still better than most average kpop idols now. Sehun is not good at singing I admit but his dancing and visuals are no joke. Other members showed their singing talents through some solo and collab works too, like Suho's Curtain, Lay's solo album, Xiumin's Call You Bae etc.. Baekhyun, D.O. and Chen may sound a little average somewhat in EXO's songs, but they are very high quality vocalists. Their technique is between proficient to good vocalist, and definitely the best out of all groups that debuted in 2012 and after. So I don't get it when people said they have no talent when compared to other groups, they're way more talented.

[@Jibriell]

I agree with you, EXO is such a well rounded group and they satisfy my taste. While I do enjoy other groups a lot they, somehow don't have what I look for, sometimes there's too much rap in their songs or their vocalists are too weak, their personalities don't reach to me or they don't make me feel anything or even their visuals could not be my style or they just simply don't have that something. So I'm pretty happy with them.

[@exolaoty854]

Dani R Exactly what i feel. I think that EXO is just fine. Chanyeol is known for being an idol rapper, but that's not the only thing he can do, he can sing, write, compose, acceptable acting skills, play piano, guitar, drums, etc. Also, i like that his rapping parts in the songs are really easy to listen to and dont ruin the mood with a sudden strong voice just like other groups do (it gives me a headache). So to me, it's still shocking how people say that only the vocal line is talented lol. Names are just names, yes, D.O is main vocalist but he can do other things like being an amazing actor. Lay is sub vocalist and main dancer but can also write and compose. Sehun hasnt gotten the chance to showcase his acting abilities, but im sure he'll do well and he's also a very good dancer. Suho is a good singer but can also act. All the members have hidden abilities that have showcased through all this years and still have things to show too. What people have yet to realize is that EXO is not just a singing, dancing, performing group, they are more than that, they are a brand and they can do many things with it.

[@quantization]

Love the reaction to Chen's high note there. 08:54

[@lizzdrummond7564]

Quantization I live for that reaction

[@fixjustin2699]

Quantization i keep forgetting how good chen is. When u always do something tht GOOD people sometimes overlook the effort. U know what im saying right? Like chens vocal is phenomenal and how he does it everytime effortlessly, people dont really see it as impressive(they know he is great but he is often overlooked) im repeating my point but u get me.

[@ridha6874]

"Call me baby, baby, call me baby" "yes, i'll call you"😂

[@alexislambert8039]

When he commented about bts and exo when I tell you I sweated I was scared to go into the comments but it was better than I thought it would be.😅

[@RandomGuy-xq2nt]

Alexis_ 123 that is why our logo is “we are one” 👌🏻💕

[@gigo518]

8:54 & 10:23-10:30 These two dying because of Chen's falsetto and singing are my spirit animals. I hope to see this channel do reactions to Chen's Masked Singer performances one day! *fingers crossed* All these music terms go over my head but I love watching how much everyone here clearly loves and enjoys music so much. Their knowledge of and excitement and enthusiasm for music is contagious and makes everyone so charming :)

[@Nat-gb4wb]

I'm still waiting for a full group reaction to "Really I Didn't Know." I think every new EXO viewer should experience the beauty of that performance at least once!

[@samanthagabrielle9800]

Elena agreed 457% i love that performance dearly i really want them to listen to it

[@Multi.Fandom.]

i'm really waiting for them to react to k.will's please don't

[@yookihyunsyoonbebe337]

terroryrisasXD here too can't wait for their reactions ❤️

[@mintymangoade]

[@Hitsuzenify]

OMG ME TOOOO!! Frankly, that MV shocked me as well.

[@amylee7620]

terroryrisasXD omg i was thinking about this yesterday and his vocal is good too

[@LupinKing]

That MV was a mind f*ck when I first saw it. Can't wait either!

[@nnob_6351]

yunyi and her partner are so funny and are really into the music & video... they're my fave 😁

[@8bitsofme]

I'm glad to see this reaction in 2021 because actually, this is the song that made me like EXO. I can fully understand why it sounds good. Thanks for the video!

[@annehoaglund7790]

"Oh! They all have beautiful eyes. Oh no!" I agree 1000000000%

[@j-ann4522]

Growl, Overdose & Call Me Baby, I say that this songs are the ones who gets a person really into EXO (and Kpop!) and became a fan. I hope their comeback this year will create a huge impact like this songs. EXO Fighting! EXO saranghaja!

[@hashnisenanayake2635]

me too :) can't wait for them to shook the world and snatch us bald. I can't wait no more Fam XD

[@officialcitizenofearth]

😍😍😍❤❤❤

[@lucassaiden2969]

I'm from the future and I must say yeah they created an imapct once again 💕💖

[@gabriellelewis2345]

fam I got into EXO during the Wolf Era. I'm true EXO garbage lmao

[@daddykronk9593]

Overdose is what brought me into K-Pop!

[@sonepeaches4599]

"yeah i'll call you" same girl same

[@shinister]

"Oh that minor" "those chords" I'm like wow cool mv cool people i stan them. I'm just a regular human being hahaha

[@windhashiira]

That reaction to Chen's vocals in CMB, same. Great video as always. :)

[@aquelacarol]

they should totally watch "Hey Mama" from EXO - CBX. Chen's vocals kill it!

[@Asya062]

YESSS I want them to react to Hey Mama too!

[@kuroneko5044]

Yes pleaaaseee. Hey Mama is a masterpiece, and Jongdae's vocals are outstanding as always ((:

[@kokochen5754]

Who else got TRIGGERED when TAO popped up and then LUHAN and THEN KRIS

[@babymetalic]

"that pink haired guy is looking at me with intent" HDJAKDS KEVIN

[@elle9341]

"they're very good at hip thrusts" yes. yes they are

[@Cat-wo1dn]

someone show them exo's drop that live version, where Chen belted that high note

[@ariyie_]

Cat YAAAAASSSSSSSSSS

[@mochimochi82]

Growl is the song that brought me to worship at the altar of EXO.

[@acrushablush]

1:37 "Okay, so one vocal part on each note of the seventh chord" OMG Yunyi's finally helped me understand like 5 million years later why that "eu-reu-rong" chorus part feels so rich vocally, it's 9:15 PM on a Sunday and I'm in my PJs just getting my mind blown right now

[@unitedgirlsofkis]

omg i remember when i first listened to it when it got released and being so....shocked like it broke kpops frontiers and was such a unique and revolutionary sound

[@bwitaehyung7400]

Kevin: watches growl music video once After a minute ... Plays it on a piano Universe: HOW THE FUCK IS HE EVEN HUMAN?!??

[@kayoungthompson6893]

He has perfect pitch 😂

[@marcusbret6744]

Rest In Piece Yunyi and Kevin. Also bless Hugo for comparing BTS and EXO while still being kind to both groups. All fandoms should be like Hugo.

[@ahiatskarks1770]

I love how they explain the music aspect that we common people don't realise, also they comment about everything else in the video and hold short discussions. This is what a true reaction channel looks like. I love you guys, best music reaction channel out there

[@dhinninta5283]

So so long time didn't watching you react to exo. I'm waiting your exo reaction again

[@jesilinblu13]

Henry is becoming my fave person on the planet haha I love his reactions 💖

[@spress15]

Yeah! Honesty. Henry. Love. 😍

[@MrKyouyatamax]

He's so adorable lol

[@14Cathy14]

I added him on snap chat, he is someone I want to be close friends with. he looks so warm and inviting

[@amira9693]

Which one is henry?

[@baeked.kookie5709]

1:47 I think kevin found his bias XD unfortunately Luhan is no longer a part of the group 😭

[@taiyonatiare7918]

Still the bias tho😂

[@seraphim3454]

but luhan still support exo even tho he left

[@lostinbtobscharm]

They love Chen's voice! 😃😃😃

[@B00BaDaF00]

Ugh it's so satisfying to hear you guys digest and break down the music and its content to the fullest. I understand nothing but WOW. Sounds so cool. lol Love it!

[@u_u2406]

they always have very fresh thoughts about kpop music, because they actually take it as a music, they analise it as some classical music, they don't only see entertainers with cute faces and nice bodies, but they also talk about harmonies and keys etc, they have more deep thoughts than most of the fans and that shows me some things i haven't noticed before. that is what makes this channel so special. please keep it up!

[@popcharmsfashion119]

I see you have a couple of vocalists in your panel so I really recommend you do reaction of What is Love (D.O and Baekhyun vocals are out of this world), also they did a Spanish ballad while touring in Mexico , song name is "Sabor a Mi" and they are simply amazing singing inSpanish!

[@uri9888]

Popcharms Fashion oh my god yes sabor a mi

[@popcharmsfashion119]

I'm mixed race and speak Spanish and can definitely say they slayed the song.....

[@TonalliGb]

Popcharms Fashion I am Mexican and I agree 1000%

[@popcharmsfashion119]

Glad to hear that!!!

[@xyakori7909]

YASS

[@shanl3207]

Gotta say this is still the best reaction video of EXO in youtube! Thank you for this💋

[@annamaegracevecere3724]

3:35 there is a good run in there too Appreciate D. O's Runs and adlibs here 😍

[@kathryn.joseph]

"there's a lot of variety in this song." said a classical musician. and we have those antis saying exo is a generic group ok where ya antis at cash me outside :') exo is killer. dAMN RIGHT.

[@brentbiton8815]

Kathryn Joseph they were referring to the chords and instrumentals.. Exo has exceptionally catchy and creative songs but they do have some mediocre songs.

[@chamomiletea415]

Kathryn Joseph Well.. just as a generic comment, most of exo's songs weren't composed by them, so personally I think their song writters and people behind the scenes should get more credit for it than they seem to be getting. (Just an opinion. Please don't hate!!) ^-^;

[@WindyDayEXO]

Brent Biton I bet you don't go deeper and listen to their b-sides, its always people's misconceptions about judging the whole discography by its few title tracks. And "some mediocre songs" is still up to the listeners preference not a fact and it doesn't change the fact that exo's discography is flaw free

[@WindyDayEXO]

ChamomileTea Well... that doesn't change the fact that EXO have released quality good songs. They do write and composed songs, Lay and Chanyeol probably have wrote and composed tons of, but SM has limits on such area, so even if they're capable of writing and composing, it's still not guaranteed that they're gonna be able to showcase it in its full potential. And the composers and writers of their songs are fully credited and is recognized. If you're in the fandom you'd know how thankful we are and how we EXO-Ls makes a fuss over them lmao

[@WindyDayEXO]

Kathryn Joseph ikr, EXO is a very versatile group, so them haters can cash us ousside how bow dah lmao

[@Miss2ne1girl]

That BTS and EXO comparison is rlly insightful! I rlly like that comment blond dude on point

[@kaykay68591]

cream kookie right? Like, does no one else notice or comment on this?

[@101falcon]

Pink Angel I did I was like "why is no one mentioning this?"

[@joonbee8377]

I actually laughed tho cus while he is right i just got through that youtube beef between cameron Phillips and that Peteronics guy and cam said the exsct opposite. I laughed outloud. I love opinions dude lol

[@Olcia27]

I had the same conclusion when I was just getting into kpop. And that's why I prefer BTS because I like the individuality but I also like the less typical to their concept EXO songs. Also my cousin laughed at me because of the "we are one" slogan when I told her that EXO seems to me like one person.

[@fatimahds555]

Olcia27 I feel as though exo is actually different individually because they all have distinctive voices and their songs are always different and aren't the same I can't say the same for bts but I guess that's your opinion

[@hoya6105]

I keep coming back to this and other reactions. I don't remember how many times I have watched. I like all of the musicians and thanks to them, I learned a lot which I have never noticed!

[@dianadacutanan3985]

11:05 The run that only Kyungsoo can do❤️

[@teabun13]

"yunyi reminds me of kim possible with those cargo pants" me too

[@j-ann4522]

This is what I'm looking for! This is what a reaction video should be! Unlike the Reaction Videos of others; the people in this channel are not reacting only because of the groups good-looks, fashion, or dance. They are checking everything, the music, vocals, dance, videography, everything! People who really know music. Thank You ReacttotheK for creating this channel and making this reaction videos. :)

[@kyoong6198]

exactly what I said XD

[@omfgstrid]

Same!!

[@DannieNg926]

61x94줄리엑소 Yeah agree! That's why I enjoy their videos so much!

[@kimedwardilagan9137]

5:27 - 6:37 They really made an effort to dissect all those music elements and variables behind the song 😂 Well, you can't deny SM Ent's awesome production with EXO's awesome vocals 👌

[@leechanmakdungie]

I just love watching this series. like seriously. I can not, for the life of me, understand their comments but I see their genuine appreciation of any song they are presented with.

[@Hana-gd1vr]

Hugo is my favorite person ever 'While BTS has individuals who work together as a group i feel like EXO is good together, as one unit' (or something like that) He got the concept of BTS being a amazing group consisting of amazing member that happened to be a group because universe tends to be nice sometimes, while EXO is one, and will always be one, because one member missing is not EXO (I hope you get what I mean, I mean if one member of BTS misses it's not BTS, too, and every member of EXO is talented, too it's just... you get me?)

[@exolaoty854]

ThePersonWhichWillDie BecauseOfKPop I agree in some parts, and this is why i like to separate their beautiful relationship from their professional work. To be honest, EXO doesnt get enough praises, they work really good together and are super talented. The thing is, even tho 3 members left and EXO is still amazing, i also believe that someone new entering EXO would not fit well either. Somehow, they work perfectly all together, but also in sub units or individual work. What Hugo doesnt know, is that EXO as individuals are just as powerfull, but i get what you mean.

[@Hana-gd1vr]

ExoL AOTY Yeah, it's just really hard to explain! I mean, both EXO and BTS have amazing individuals and amazing group work, because both have incredibly talented members that trained together for years. But somehow, EXO really is one... Like a good working machine, every single part has to work or the whole thing is ruined. I mean, that goes for other groups, too just... argh why is this so hard to explain XD

[@exolaoty854]

ThePersonWhichWillDie BecauseOfKPop I guess every group has different charms and EXO's is "being one", just like their slogan says :)

[@tibowmew]

ThePersonWhichWillDie BecauseOfKPop I have no idea what you mean...

[@reactors1069]

ThePersonWhichWillDie BecauseOfKPop Okay, your comment is as complicated as my life so i kinda get it😂

[@shanl3207]

Still not over this reaction, thank you, guys!

[@judycasley108]

I have absolutely no idea what you were all talking about, but I loved you for it. If you can find so much to enjoy, I feel so self satisfied that they are my favorite group.

[@gaubonghaybuon24111]

After 5 months with MrJKpop gone MIA, I'm so thankful that I found you guys! *sobbing* I need fix of my technically dissected Kpop reaction videos!

[@ratihkusumawardani3221]

what happen to him?

[@lillcutie6189]

Rara 1991 a scandal on onehallyu happened. you should check it out

[@gaubonghaybuon24111]

Either way, his KZbin career is pretty much dead now.

[@Hobyosultana]

Joanne Min What was the scandal about?

[@gaubonghaybuon24111]

Satansoo Allegedly he sent revealing pics of himself to an underage fan and asked for her lingerie pics (she said she sent him lingerie pics she found online because she was scared or something). On the forum thread that allegedly exposed him, they got screenshots of the flirty conversation and the pics. So naturally people started boycotted him and the likes, on twitter he denied everything but then has had no update ever since anywhere, blocks comments on his videos too so many people say that that's proof he's guilty. But as time went on, others (and me, personally, when I started reading about this) think it is still up in the air, because the selfie that supposed to be him in his underwear looks kind of blurry, I'm not even sure that it is him, and screenshots can be photoshopped. Also there were two other girls came out and said he did the same thing to them but offered no evidence, only claims. Edit: also, not confirmed that he knows the girl was underage (anyway even if he doesn't know, still very creepy to ask a stranger their underwear pics). Afterward that whole exposing thread was deleted so it makes some people feel like there's something dodgy going on. But even if MJKpop is proven innocent, he can't make a career out of KZbin anymore because there will always people bringing up this scandal again and again, and you can deduce the effect from there. So guilty or innocent, he officially gone from the Kpop-react community.

[@windymango_wing]

8:55 THAT'S ME EVERYTIME I HEAR CHEN'S FALSETTOS TOO AHAHAHA

[@hannalisa9348]

omg yassssss i always rewatch this when im bored and i was almost crying when i couldnt find it, im so happy it’s back!!!

[@cherrypop58]

I like the BTS and EXO comparison because it’s so true. It’s how I explain my love for both groups and also what makes them different. EXO works so well together and their chemistry vocally is amazing. I think them and Mamamoo are so in sync with each other musically and it’s amazing. This is why I love EXO, because we are one.
