The Journey Begins: Reacting to "EXO: THE ROAD OF A LEGEND" - Part 1

[@banana-xz2nw]

It sucks that some people invalidate their struggles just cause they came from sm and they became 'famous' instantly bcs of this. It doesnt mean thay they didnt go through a rough patch, they were heavily criticized for their weird concept, lost members, yet still managed to stay strong as a group. Why? Bcs through these hardships they became closer to each other. Lets recognize their efforts and power, they managed to become one of the biggest groups in kpop despite sm's poor promotions. Sm put a wall around them, making them promote only in asia, but exo's music spread further.

EXO-L is the strongest fandom ONE AND ONLY

PERIODT

[@maribelmalijan2484]

Yes

[@prexiousavery4177]

the fact that I'm not even an exo-l from ot12 era but their moments together never fails to make me cry

[@aeriya0]

same. im just a 2 y/o exol but their ot12 past always makes me cry hard-

[@rannieromero9992]

i'm with you, almost 2 y/o Phixo here

It is very sad that SMent market target were only Asia and China. That's why they didn't promote EXO that much in America and Europe. I've always been wondering what if SMent promoted them better globally. EXO could be bigger today with their talent, unique group concept and consistent storyline.

[@Monkeybaekbloom]

definitely, if SM promote them properly, they gonna take over the world

[@zimzalabitch9029]

they did receive originally an invitation for billboards but sm declined it

[@Monkeybaekbloom]

@@zimzalabitch9029 that’s what driving me crazy cause these boys deserve more, even though they are really famous among Kpop lovers, I want they have more recognition from non kpop fans

[@nyek1246]

@@zimzalabitch9029 they had to decline it because at that time they had a very tight schedule, a lot is happening group and individual wise.

[@pichaknrjs5125]

Exactly I'm so sad

[@erina_2553]

Again if only SMent treated all members of EXO better......

[@luzpizarro2676]

Exo deserve to be called a legend bcoz their talents really a legendary...i've never seen a group that can compare to them...

[@annie-vn6zm]

Everytime I watch this video I have tears in my eyes. They went through so much and became so big. I'm with EXO from autumn of 2013 and I witnessed all the ups and downs. And I couldn't be more proud of them. I like kpop in general but my love for EXO always will be beyond everyone.

[@shineramos6433]

EXO-Ls in China is has the biggest fan base...they love Exo ever since OT12...and they still being loved until now despite the conflict of 2 countries...

[@divyamore5141]

Oh Austin is emotional , yes every exol gets emotional watching this.

[@rebeckaroy6790]

I personally love the fact that some members were not strong dancers at the beginning and others were not confident in their vocals etc. There is a base of raw talent and possibility but it is only through incredible amounts of hard work and dedication that they have become the artists they are today. Years and years of their lives have been dedicated to this and they have never taken it lightly. It's not EASY for any of them. Professionals only make it look easy. The accomplishments are truly theirs because they put in the time and the effort. That is the way of legends

[@sushreesoumyarout3374]

Each member in EXO is highly *talented and attractive* ( in looks and personality) for which they get to escorted by SM to audition and passed it. Each of them is so *determine and hardworking* person that they get to debut under SM, out of 120 trainees 12 became EXO. They were hyped because they're from SM but when they debut with MAMA many started questioning because of their unique music and "childish" Concept.. But when they came back from that almost 1yr hiatus, they rocked the world, broke records and made history.. When everything was going fine then came the crisis.. After so much of Insucrities, doubts, relationship on test, huge backlash from people they still stood together as one and showed that doesn't matter how talented, hardworking or successful you are.. Problems gonna come around and you've to fight it to maintain or fight for your place.. They showed that even when luck isn't with you you have to fight to change your fortune. They wrote their fortune with their own hands only having one another to rely on. EXO has everything but luck. Individually they all are exceptionally talented but as a group they put all their efforts, blood, sweat and tears in overcoming every group's nightmare AND have achieved every group's dreams. That's the reason they're inspiration to so many people.

[@erina_2553]

Prepare tissue for part 2 🤧

[@CM-wr6pz]

As an EXOL I've always being so proud of being an EXO STAN, never once have I failed stanning the greatest group of all times

[@miahexoshidae9790]

Becoming an EXO-L/PHIXO is the best thing that happened to me. I never regretted that I stan this legends! We are one!

[@krissykit2476]

EXO was a bridge between Korea & China. They were hugely popular in China. They were young & unique mix of Korean artists and Chinese artists. Gosh this video made me emotional & also remember allllll of the emotions.....

[@ecor4140]

Love it and I am so emotional thinking about their past! They were and still are the no 1 group in China just for your information

[@thonupunoorisuryam9002]

You know during their early years they were also called boys with animal like voices by the people. I read it somewhere. Of course there were some performances where they were a bit off but no one can be perfect in each and every performance. I don’t know why can’t they understand that.

[@FnadRockss]

I cried watching this with u, Sir Austin. I just can't put into words all the things EXO makes me feel... I've been with them since their predebut, I've never leave (and never will). I lived with them the ""failure"" people said they were when they debuted, then when they got the world in their hands with their success and went like that through the years and even when the china line leaved and all our hearts were broken... But we still love and support them as much as we do with EXO members. I hate some kpop fans or ppl in general that say they're not popular anymore or that there are another certain group who is better lol hell no! EXO is a legend, there would never be another *thing* like them. I cannot describe how amazing EXO is, it is really impossible to explain. I'm glad you became an EXO-L (I watched all your journey, all your videos in one week haha) and I'm following u. P.S. If you could react to EXO's predebut teasers or EXO Showtime (idk if it is possible on youtube tho... So if it is not, could u do it in some other place where we could watch?) please do it! Thanks

[@priyanka5175]

They are kings , the legend of kpop ....Soo proud of them....and also proud to be a exol....

[@suho_bunny_jm]

The only regret i have as an EXO-L is that I am not fangirling them since their Debut... They are so humble, hardworking and so precious.... You can't help but love them... Suho's award speeches are really great... You should check out his speeches compilation...

[@canserlums]

OT12 OT12 OT12 OT12 This vid brings back so much memories, I was prejudice with kpop before including EXO, not until I saw EXO Showtime and that's when things went to a steep turn. I genuinely felt that I really want to be within their circle not for the fame and etc, but for their bond. I want to surround myself with the kind of friendship they had. I ve been a fan since. ♥️🖤

[@melzun686]

Other groups may be popular and famous but not as talented as EXO. EXO is successful as a group as well as the individual members that's why they are legend ❤️

[@-ChristinaMelani]

EXO is the leader of 3rd gen of Kpop... So they are legend, since nowaday is time for gen 4 already.

[@Imosshie14]

My gosh, here I am loving them even more . I miss them so much :(

[@aqua17]

I remember watching EXO SHOWTIME and it made me love EXO so much. The ot12 content was very fun and their personalities shine so much

[@anjalij9646]

I'm a new EXO-l,but I really love OT12 and miss them so much. I wish one day they will be together EXO is legend since their pre debut.love EXO so much

[@mialenne]

This is an amazing series with their history. Hopefully the creator will consider continuing the series at some point 💕 The clips from the last part were all from Exo Showtime 😿 it's a must watch show and it's OT12. So many clips from there keep me going on a daily basis. The clips where they are wearing chick costumes are from one of the best Chinese variety shows I've seen EXO at. It's called Happy Camp and they have been there as EXO-M or as a whole group quite a few times over the years. It's usually hilarious, but there's one part that is very emotional too in one episode. I'm not going to spoil anything, but you have seen a lot of clips from this show during your journey.

[@ying5322]

My eyes are wet already... Just thinking of the amount of effort they had put in, in order to having a chance to debut

[@-ChristinaMelani]

They look the same even this is a years ago... Love EXO so much

[@camilejaudrhy3533]

I am proud of what they have become right now ☹️💙 Honestly, EXO saved me from my anxiety and depression, that's why I am so thankful to have them in my life~

[@Nat-fq8hc]

[@trisha7680]

sir austin if u havent watch their first? (idk) variety show "Exo Showtime" please watch itttt! You would definitely love it and be able to know a lot about the members and ot12, they are really funny there.

[@cherrysky4746]

Thank's Sir Austin. Most of the clip from Showtime Reality Show of Exo. Then the Exo ladder season 1&2. And Exo vs Mnet Video

[@beres.e9309]

Seeing this makes me cry, I'm very proud of them, they've come a long way, they deserve everything they have and more. EXO is an amazing group and yes, they are legends. I love my Exol family and I'll be here until there's no more EXO. I'll be waiting for the second part. Thank you! 💕

Scarb's videos are really good. I particularly like the Exo rewind series. Those videos are a deep dive into everything that happened in a specific year.

[@maybelyndolendo1879]

Hi Sir Austin, I hope you can react to EXO's live performance for "Cloud 9" from their Exordium concert in Seoul. Their vocals are insane (as always), you will surely enjoy that performance.

[@exobebe0831]

It hurts me a lot when people talk sh*ts abt them. They don't know how much struggle they've been through. And I can say that EXO-L is the strongest fandom. ❤

[@Ioveclub]

i really hope you watch exo showtime soon, it would be really cool if you react to it on patreon or something but even if you watch it on your own, it's so enjoyable and part of every exol-l's formative years! it's also the basis of like 80% of the fandom jokes you see in older videos lol

[@silviaexo-l9559]

The shows in that video are: Happy camp(Chinese show) and EXO Show time (variety show) . You have to watch...... Happy camp has episodes with 12 members, with 11 members

[@fabigochi]

Back then we were called Exotics, we were eagerly waiting for Thursday to watch the new episode of "EXO's Showtime", it's fun, please react to it. Weekly Idol with EXO is really fun, a MUST for any EXO-L, please react to it.

[@sheeriasitchon9827]

Thinking about what they'd been through, I'm being so emotional rn. I miss ot12! I witness Kris, Luhan and Tao leaving the group and that is the most painful thing I've ever felt. If SM just treat them better maybe...:((((((

[@naneihilungtau13]

Sir Austin, I love you as an EXO-L and thank you so much for your reaction. I love to watch EXO with you.,and please react to EXO Lights Out by Suho, Baekhyun , Chen and D. O. It's so beautiful and Chen himself composed this song. Thank you

Emotions of being an exols is that even if its sometime a happy thought we always end up crying not because we are bitter but because we are so overwhelmed that even somehow they dont grew up as a whole but they literally left us such wonderful memories that we can hold onto for as long as our hearts wants❤️ Meanwhile here I am feeling all of these emotions💗❤️💔🤧😅😭

It's fun to share the journey with a fellow Baby-l. Hope that you could check EXO Debut Showcase (you can skip the interview part) so you can also watch both Korean and Chinese songs. There are lots of iconic and memes in that showcase. Do it at your own pace and time :)
