Reacting to EXO - MAMA 2014 performance!

[@SirAustin]

LOL! I'm sorry my memory sucks. I forgot about Black Pearl and my XOXO/Overdose album reaction. I haven't had a whole lot of time lately to listen to those b-sides more. Plus...my memory overall is just awful. But trust me. EXO is my favorite group of all time. And eventually I will get to the point where I know every word to every song...Haha! I still consider myself a baby EXO-L because there are YEARS worth of content I'm still trying to get caught up. It's kind of overwhelming sometimes.

[@liveriah]

Don't worryyy, It happens oftenly shnsns

[@erikajazz1]

Baby L here. Take your time. There's a lot, like A LOT. lots of albums, lives, etc. I'm still discovering more of their music. Albums or songs I didn't know of. So yeah, take your time and I know we're all gonna enjoy everything you react to 😁❤️

[@xing_xoxo6205]

No worries. Take your time. Of course, health comes first. Enjoy the ride :)

[@maricardagpin2844]

We love you sir Austin. Do not worry you will get there. Your love for EXO is undeniable. I love your DMMT Kyungsoo Poster. A true blooded Dandies. 😊

[@stephanienunez991]

Mama 2015 EXO for your next RV

[@eunice2351]

Kai's Deep breath is an intro for Overdose album. The narration is kind of a short story that contain all titles of tracks in Overdose album. Also, Kai's performance was so sensational at that time and changed the trend of Kpop solo stages. Its totally "Before Kai" and "After Kai".

[@SiwonnieFan]

Kai... the trendsetter ❤️

[@munhyunhan6583]

I always feel sad of the fact that Tao really don't want to leave EXO but he has to because of his injuries. There was once a concert rehearsal when he was lifted by d members because he can't feel his legs any longer... His father was so worried about him so he insisted to let Tao leave d group... Tao cried so much as he really doesn't want to leave. 🥺

[@Zeitgeist1485]

exactly, like Tao still regularly went to Korea before the THAAD issues to spend time with the boys. and the way he talks about his time in a group on TV shows makes me cry. he really loved being in EXO

[@raizenmariefamoso4811]

@@Zeitgeist1485 there's a photo him hanging out or eating in a restaurant after he leave the group

[@nurainsyauqinabintibasrie9732]

Aigoo he is so precious. If it's not because of the injuries, he surely will not left 😭

[@lairreskaruzawa1793]

Exo really loves tao and tao also loves and is proud to be an exo member before. It is just so sad that sm doesnt know how to properly treat their artists (especially Chinese artists) that lead to that incident. Nevertheless we will still love our baby panda

[@hr7nn]

Chanyeol was sick that time, when they were performing Overdose, and EXO-K had to go down because EXO-M would perform the second verse, Chanyeol couldn’t breathe well and staff helped him.

[@knn9117]

That clip still breaks my heart 😭

[@hr7nn]

@@knn9117 Me too! But luckily, there were staffs that were ready to help him ☺️

[@Monkeybaekbloom]

Yes, he almost faint at that time TT

[@fanchenworld]

The way Chen and baekhyun backup kyungsoo is amazing .

[@yibochannie1830]

Tao was the one who who bring me to EXO, miss himmm🥺

[@abivasquez9903]

Stanning Tao will be one of the best decision you will ever make. I swear! He's worth it!

[@abivasquez9903]

OMG I got a heart!!!

[@abivasquez9903]

But seriously, Tao is one of the best artist I've ever known.

[@kathlenegracerobles6590]

I'm with you❣️

[@Zeitgeist1485]

Tao was in most of the CMB live stages, but Tao left shortly after CMB came out, his dad begged him to leave because SM made him perform flips and stuff pretty much every performance and it was aggravating his back and hip injuries he got when he was younger. SM also only let him have 2 weeks off for a leg injury he got around CMB and photos came out of Tao on crutches walking ALONE to go get his medication. And after the photos SM said Tao would take a longer break but Papa Huang released a letter where he said that Tao wouldn't return to EXO because he was so concerned for his son's health, and then Tao released his statement on it. There's A LOT to the Tao vs SM drama.

[@celesteflova2033]

i loooove how in tell what is love chen and baekhyun kind of become back up vocals for kyungsoo and the rest of exo are the back up dancers. Just a soo's performance. This performance and 2016 are my absolute favorite.

[@yeolmay1128]

yess this is a moment that your group becomes your backup dancers Haha, only Ksoo, Jongdae and Baekhyun related

[@zel_ni_kai_at_ken]

Yes, Tao is really tall. I love him so much. Tao left in Call Me Baby era; he's the last. He does not have any thoughts of leaving before however it got to the point he's health was being affected (curse SM) so he's father shared his concern and wrote a letter to SM for Tao to leave the group.

[@saayme6904]

Baekhyun's high note in Overdose with My heart is soooo epic

[@cottonkim6705]

after kris and luhan left in 2014, tao stayed with the group until around june 2015. that's why he's part of call me baby (released march 2015) but not love me right (released june 2015). he was involved in a few concerts early in 2015 too before he suffered an injury and was more or less on hiatus until he formally left the group in august. so that's why he's still here during this mama 2014 performance! exo was 10 for a short time and only for 1 official release (call me baby/exodus album) and they've been 9 ever since!

[@henisyu]

That tell me what is love performance is really legendary, who made his member become his backup dancer and backround vocal? Only D.O. hahaha

[@exoweareone09]

Ohh the poster behind for Kyungsoo is soo beautiful

[@liveriah]

Same

[@flower2020]

I knew exo last year and started stanning this year and i feel you i'm having a crush on Tao :')

[@SadiaIslamShouki]

I never saw ot12 ,but for Tao , i have a soft spot for him . He still loves his exo members ,whenever he got opportunities to talk about exo ,he always said good things about the group.Also like Luhan too ,he is really a responsible man ,although he stand for himself but did think about other members that's why he did tour with them even though he decided to leave and members knew about it , he still follows the members (even though some of them opened their ig in 2018).This is the reason Lay still talk to him.

[@YuniarHestiningtyas]

Tao didn't want to left EXO if it's not because of the injury, he had the great power on EXO that still remain in EXO MV even after he left (I think, if I'm not mistaken, there's time reverse on Monster MV), he also had an unique tone on his vocal. When Kris left the group he was so heartbroken and I love the fact that he proud he was an EXO member once (I've seen a clip about that). Zitao had a beautiful face feature, he always look handsome and he's tall, also...he is a good actor.

[@yojchuacarag]

Wat makes EXO stage perf Amazing n unique? They're very dramatic n theatrical n it's lethal combo with their vocals n moves

[@congaicuajaeian5890]

austin you have to see exo showtime, there tao is very close to exo members, even he is very spoiled and always protected, yes in exo there used to be two maknae sehun and tao ;((

[@L2188-l8d]

The group body rolling to Tell Me What is Love are Winnner and IKON(Bobby and B.I. I dont know if Ikon already debuted at this time). Bobby's reaction to this perf is 😍. He was too into the whole perf in the fancams, starting that day Bobby have a special place in my EXOL heart.

[@zhanganna7197]

yeah... I watched Bobby's fancam for this performance.. his reaction is priceless 😂

[@upmshsinterngleeniceavenid7872]

I love that fancam :')

[@anshikavarshney2529]

First of all, Austin your hair look GORGEOUS✨ Everything EXO does is just LEGENDARY👑. PERIOD And yes EXO was once 10. First member left after Overdose and just before their first World tour, then after the tour Luhan left(both in 2014). This performance is a 2014 year end performance. Then Call Me Baby happened and Tao was there, he left between Call Me Baby and Love Me Right(in 2015), and that was mostly because of his severe knee injury coz as you saw he had to do the acrobatic stuff!! EXO was always brilliant and will be whether as 12, as 10, as 9, as units, as solos, as parts(coz of military).

[@jowaenah6146]

Kyungsoo at the back is Soo B E A U TIFUL!!!!

[@justinjyeung]

Chanbaek has actually been sailing since like debut era XD Though it was also called Baekyeol back then too loool Speaking of Tao, he may look fierce and could kill you with his martial arts, but he's actually the soft, baby panda of the group XD And he's actually in the "Call Me Baby" MV :o

[@Ayin8cify]

I don't know what relationship they have but they are the sweetest couple I've ever known, here chanbaek kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6nMq3Rva6x1mqc

[@Lillianeee]

They're brothers like every other exo member. Please keep it cute and NOT creepy.

[@Ayin8cify]

@@Lillianeee I don't know what their relationship is, everyone has their own opinion and assumptions about what they see and know, after all it's just an opinion. If you want, let watch the chanbaek's video (that link) and it's up to you what you want to think about them. No one knows their private life right? One more , I don't mind if they date or no, it's their life choice. Lgbt is not a crime.

[@loidavillanueva8891]

This is one of my favorites stage performance of EXO. Because they show the powerful voice of D.O.

[@Nat-fq8hc]

I also like Tao although I wasn't around for OT12(been here only a couple of years). Although I've never been able to pick a bias, if I was around then he might have been coming for me. I've watched a couple of his dramas(so handsome!) and I've got some of his solo songs on my play list...his voice is so sweet!

[@keera_xo]

Tao left in 2015. But I still follow his work . He is doing well as an artist and a person also after all these years he will still kick people who says otherwise of EXO. He is great at giving lectures on life too.😅

[@Luna-lu5do]

Kyungsoo got more lines and that's the silver lining. He also cemented his name as R&B artist as early as his rookie days. Hence, people keep associating his name with rnb voice even when he's singing in other genre. Well, his voice is soulful and smooth.

[@erilado7780]

I really love how IKON vibing on D.O's Tell Me What Is Love and Bobby being so extra. My EXOL x Ikonic heart huhuhu 💖

[@ying5322]

I remember "Deep Breath" is one of the performances got me into Kai (he's my ult). He doesn't need spotlights when he dances. The title made me think it was the "Mama" performance in SMTown 20141005 for a second. That performance has a special place to me. It's so touching/inspiring and explains why EXO is a legend in Kpop.

[@MissMolls]

Yay! EXO MAMA 2014 performance! Tell Me What Is Love had me shook with vocals esp D.O.

[@jpyo2545]

ChanBaek shipper here since 2k13!!😍

[@bunnyjunmyeonii_4307]

Tao was still until EXODUS era. He's in Call Me Baby if you remember the mv. But he wasn't in promotions due to injuries.

[@thonupunoorisuryam9002]

Tell me what is love-D.O ft baekhyun and Chen is soooo iconic

[@mialenne]

They are such amazing performers 😤 I believe there's a Chen solo performance from this show too? It was an English song from a huge singer, but my memory is crap and I've seen it only a couple of times, so 🤷‍♀️ edit: John Legend XD here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHmtY4ubob2hfqc (Chen is only at the beginning) Here's a rough timeline of members: - K left in 2014 about a week before their first tour started - Luhan left in October 2014, before they started the Japan part of the tour. In the DVD from The Lost Planet in Seoul you can sometimes see 11 people on stage, but there won't be any close up shots of Luhan. The performances in Japan are all as 10 members. - Tao left in August 2015, so after Call Me Baby come back and in the middle of EXO'luXion tour. Because he got injured during the first days of the concerts and it wouldn't heal he didn't participate in many stages, even the ones in Seoul. You can see him sometimes on stage (especially the cute one where they change on stage) but again no close up. The Japan part of the tour happened after he left the group. (Also, Lay couldn't participate in the Japan part either, so if you're watching a concert performance where Xiumin has pink hair that means you won't see Lay)

[@sanguercharlotte3371]

On today's episod3,its just sir austin crushing over Tao🤣

[@preziousparkx9292]

That legendary moment when the vocal line were singing Tell Me What is Love and the rest were dancing at the back, I feel like my soul is being separated to my body plus the attractive beat and everything, uwUuu

[@adrianaeri95]

Love seeing EXO as backup singers and dancers for Kyungsoo on Tell Me what is Love 😍❤️‍🔥

[@yoongeek5376]

If you didnt realise exo was 10 at some point you should rewatch EXO call me baby! It's the only MV with 10 members. And maybe watch the chinese version because it's very different and the chinese members like Tao and Lay get to shine more. Plus they did perform Call Me Baby live as 10!

[@ggigie]

Tao towers at 6.1 ft. He was also my bias in EXO-M and I regret he had to leave EXO due to health issues. Still, I'm glad his career is doing well in China.

[@wilmalacson7630]

Tao was until the Call Me Baby era, if you wanna hear him sing listen to EXO-M he has a very beautiful voice. Baekhyun's first baby, our Kung Fu Panda. 😊😊

[@exoklm4190]

kyungsoo's staring at me from the back. 🤣 everytime i watch their early days performance, i always count them first.

[@lhyneco6397]

kyungsoo's poster.. 😍 sana all sir austin!! ❤️

[@tranyori8082]

This was the performance where chan yeol nearly fainted after the first half of Overdose performance and during the second verse he was lying down on the floor due to lack of oxygen in his body. Staff helped him and still, he managed to perform his rap without any mistakes........EXO has gone through a lot during this time period. I love the boys for their hard work.

[@Aeris_Athirah41]

Yup. My baby Panda is an addiction.. LOL I still support him..even after he left :)

[@ohoratkkaebsong]

EXO was 10 for some time between 2014-15! Tao was in Call Me Baby mv too,in case you forgot. Chanbaek ship has been sailing pretty much since their debut XD

[@lipa3108]

The voice before the performance of the D.O. was from Tao, ZTAO's new song “黎明破晓” (Dawn Breaks) for Revelation online game to be released on September 25 exo-10 call me baby live kzbin.info/www/bejne/omG8kqylhdBkoMk

[@balaussaassylbay1428]

Oh the hardest era.. and see how they were young and so energetic .. oh god I love them :((( Tao is love.. he is the loyalist from three of them ((( I think if he didn’t injured he will be still in EXO!! and Austin plzzz react to their pre debut and path code teasers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@fanchenworld]

If SM really protected Tao like giving him time to treat his injuries ,he would have in the group ,he really liked group. He is definitely a great assest apart from him being an subvocal, rapper ,dancer he is very much skilled in martial art. In early videos there is always a part for his martial arts . Anyway I m really happy that he is very successful as a solo artist and actor in china .

[@Unsubscribepls]

I'm also crushing on Tao!! >.

[@estefaniamontu8794]

I always enjoy your EXO reactions... But this is my favourite cause is Tao's apreciation video!! 😊😊😊 He's such an amazing artist!! If you wanna know more about him you could check some of his solo works (songs, performances, dramas, lives, etc) He has a beautiful voice, is an excelent rapper, a wonderfull actor, a really funny guy and a truly inspiring person!!! If you want to watch some of his solo works feel free to ask... We'll have a lot of sugestions!! 🤭🤭🤭

[@lady52]

This was the performance where chanyeol almost past out that he sat and bowed his head while exo-m is performing on stage but still manage to rap and dance even if he's not feeling well and exhausted..

[@anakyung5823]

Blackpearl is on my toplist (EXO-K) version, I always wait for the woaaahhoah by Kyungsoo. On Tell me what is Love part, I liked that Baek and Chen covered Yoo Young-Jin part instead of backing vocals. I like Tao too, among the Chinese members, he was my favorite, he's a bit weird too and I like it LOL! Thanks for the reaction, this performance proved EXO is top-tier artist even as rookies.

[@toriecarter2711]

There was chunks of time between ot12 and ot9 where EXO was not only ot10 *BUT also* ot11~~~ - The first member left during promotions for Overdose in 2014, just before EXO started their first tour; he's in the music video and a few things, but not much else. - Luhan didn't leave until *during* EXO's first tour in 2014; he even filmed for some of the concert dvds, but was edited out of them. - Tao didn't leave until after Call Me Baby in 2015; despite doctor orders he flew to film teasers, filmed the mv, and even did some live stages & attended concerts during EXO's second tour, much like how Kai would attend the third tour with his leg injury later. This is why I wanna make the videos I wanna make. Sometimes just telling new fans a vague date of when members left blurs whole periods and doesn't give them a grasp of when/how things happened.

[@ExcelwithNomel]

Finally got the chance to watch your exo reactions ❤️ I got a busy schedule but your videos surely make my stress go away! 🤗 -SAAngel 😘

[@ladymidnight8136]

Exo was ten members for a year or so, Kris left right before their first tour, and Luhan right after and Tao didn’t leave the group until Call Me Baby promotions were over…. When Exo performed at Mama they pretty much like to give the audience a taste of what their tours are like, so for this Mama they basically replicated some fan favorite parts of their first concert for the Overdose album, including Kai’s solo dance, Kyungsoo’s solo that they gave the other two little parts of, and then one of the more anthemic songs from the album, their award show performances are always great

[@EXOPINK_94]

Actually it's the best performance in MAMA 2014 and ofc it's on top for us, epecially bcz Tao was there :)

Yes after Kris and Luhan left during overdose era, Tao stayed until his departure in 2015. and if you noticed, Kyungsoo was covering for both Exo-K and Exo-M (as replacement for Luhan's vocal part) for quite sometime just like in this performance. Also Tell Me What is Love is cover song that was performed by Kyungsoo as his solo during Exo's concert.

[@mochimochi82]

The performance group at award shows should have been called ‘EXO and the EXO-Ls.’ I love being part of a loud and enthusiastic fandom!
