No 1 in the end

13:42 yes that's Chen The whale concept was derived from the a whale called Alice aka ‘The Loneliest Whale in the World’, who is an unidentified whale species, being the only whale emitting a call at 52-hertz. The astronaut concept was derived from the story of the astronaut who spent 48 minutes in his spaceship and coming back saying that those 48 minutes were the longest and most loneliest of mankind. The combination of these two concepts placed within the MV discusses being away from home, being somewhere unfamiliar (since the whale and astronaut is in space) and being isolated. Isolation was one of the themes in the mv (when Kai was seen being alone when the other members were playing/when Chanyeol and Suho were fighting). The song and the MV seems to talk about how everyone, in their lifetime, would meet a low point where they feel most isolated and most out of their place, but that this song (and EXO) will be there to warm their hearts.

Also it came in a dark time for all of us when the 3 ex member lefts and many fans left the fandom. Suho blamed himself a lot for not be "good enough leader" to keep everyone together. Supposedly the fight with Chanyeol in the mv is cause Chanyeol is trying to make him see reason and to don't leave or blame himself anymore.

This winter album is the best that i have heard. I hope you could find time to listen to the whole album. You will really appreciate their vocals and the beautiful songs.

EXO's ballads are remarkable. Not too loud, not too much pizzaz or whatever. It hits you in the right emotional nerve ❤ Their winter album are just so beautiful. Some people may think this is something not from an idol group. Everything is absolutely calming, ones that you will still want to listen to even after decades and feel new about how you heard it first. Not to mention, even their song Growl which is not even a ballad, has an orchestra version!! EXO discography is truly one for the books!!

thank you

EXO's discography has no filler track. Though they've been around for 11 years but still they live up to their great legendary image till now.

19:55 This scene symbolizes loneliness after separation, as if you were alone in outer space This whale is called the 52 Hertz whale because it emits waves at 52 Hertz, which are lower than the waves that other whales use to communicate, so its voice can't be heard and it dies alone and may not find a friend or partner to start a family, so it remains alone in the ocean like an astronaut alone in space. .

Let me explain one of the theories behind the story in EXO's "Universe" MV. First off, "Universe", as you are discovering, with most everything to do with EXO, is connected to EXO's concept and storyline. So some of the scenes are designed to make connections to EXO's story. The most obvious point is that in the lyrics they are talking about "Searching the Universe" for that lost or missing love. So you can see how that parallels how EXO are searching the universe for the Tree of Life and for a way to fix everything that is going wrong, etc. The theme of the MV is “cafe universe" and one theory is that the story is being told through coffee metaphors. As you may remember, EXO's official fan color is Cosmic Latte -- the color that is said to be created when you combine all the colors of the stars in the universe -- which is thought to be why this whole MV uses the creamy tan and brown tones and why it is centred around coffee. In order to understand what is happening in the MV, you should be aware that the story is not unfolding in chronological order. The plot is more like an explanation of feelings than a straight storyline. One theory is that the coffee is a metaphor for the feelings of bitterness. Two guys share a coffee, but they both hate its bitter taste. They think that if they add something to it, it will be less bitter. One person (Chanyeol) wanted to fix things by making it sweet, so he decided to add sugar. The other guy (Suho) tries to fix things with a more mellow, smooth approach, so he adds milk or cream to the coffee. However, there are limits to everything, and even when you have the best of intentions, you can take things too far. As the leader of the group, Suho wants to smooth things over, so he keeps adding milk as he tries to cover the bitterness, but in doing so it also masks the sweetness of the sugar and the pure taste of the coffee. So this is where you see the cup overflow as it is overpowered by everything being added to it. By covering the bitterness with an overwhelming amount of cream and sugar it has now made the coffee something neither one wants to drink. So in other words, making hasty decisions without considering others feelings, viewpoints and opinions will ruin relationships in the process. The story seems to primarily focus on Suho, Chanyeol, and Sehun. Some theories say that it looks as though Suho and Chanyeol are not on good terms. Which is thought to be a continuation of how we saw Chanyeol and Suho fighting in "Sing For You," but instead of solving the conflict by talking it out, they turn their backs and build a wall around the problem. At one point you see Chanyeol with his back turned and his cup sitting upside down, and he is staring blankly at an empty spot, which is thought to be Suho's place. The conflict is affecting their friendship as a group and Sehun wants to help his friends. But it is unclear what Suho and Chanyeol are really fighting about because they are hiding their true feelings and are passivagressivly pretending like everything is OK. This is where Kai, Baekhyun, Chen and Xiumin enter the plot. Some theories have interpreted the teaser images from "Universe" as showing the members split into two groups. It is thought that Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin and Kai represent the internal struggles of the group because we see them in the MV and in the teaser images for "Universe" sitting at the table almost as if they are restless and struggling to come up with an answer for how to fix things or to smooth things over, etc. And the other members -- Suho, Chanyeol, D.O. and Sehun -- represent the physical manifestation of that conflict. Sehun figures that if he understands his friends' (Suho and Chanyeol) internal struggles he can figure out how to fix things. Sehun's internal struggle is depicted by Xiumin who contemplates how he can fix his friends’ mistakes (Kai and Baekhyun). You see Xiumin sitting at the table with a glass of water and tissue paper. Mirroring the problems caused by Chanyeol and Suho, we see Baekhyun add too much sugar to the coffee and Kai adds too much milk to the cup and spills the coffee. However, Xiumin seems to have come up with a solution: water can dilute the sugar and make it less sweet and the tissue can clean up the spilled coffee. D.O. and Chen are the two that are thought to represent the bitterness of the coffee in their parallel groups. Chen scribbles on the paper almost as if this represents the internal struggle that the group is going through, as if the pain, emotion and conflict is just a big mess that they are struggling to work out. Kai (who is representing Suho's internal struggles) blames himself as the reason for Chen's scribbles (Chen represents the coffee's bitterness, which is the problems within the group). Kai's (Suho's internal struggle) guilt becomes so encompassing that it turned those scribbles into physical ropes that tied him up and traped him. At one point you see Kai sitting at the table covered with cups of coffee. Each cup is different and that is thought to represent a different memory of moments in their friendship. Each memory is unique and special, but Kai seems to be overwhelmed by it all. He sits with his head on the table trying to sort out all his feelings and emotions, etc. But if you notice, what he is focused on the entire time is the plate of sugar cubes. But before Kai's guilt (Suho's internal struggle) can really consume him, Sehun steps in and gives him a new cup of coffee. Allowing Kai to have the chance to start over. Sehun also handed Kai a saucer with sugar cubes. He knows that Kai's (Suho's) regret is rooted in the fact that he was not able to give his friend Baekhyun (Chanyeol) the simple taste of sweet coffee. Which is a metaphor for not being able to provide a simple fix to their problems. If Kai (Suho) can make the coffee the perfect amount of sweet for Baekhyun (Chanyeol) this time he may be able to move on and stop holding on to the guilt, regret and anger, etc. which will help to resolve the conflict within the group. Also, it seems as though parts of the story are being told from Kai's point of view. Some theories think that this connects to the story in their "Sing For You" MV as well. In "Sing For You," Kai was the one that seemed to be interpreting the emotions in that MV through his dance, so some say he is also the interpreter of what is happening in "Universe." Next you see that the table becomes empty and the only things remaining are the sugar cubes, the cup of coffee and the glass of water. Some say the sugar represents their ability to carefully create a sweeter future, while the water is a reminder not to repeat past mistakes. In the end, Kai decides not to add anything to the coffee, and instead, he gives Baekhyun the coffee in its pure black bitter form. Because he has now learned that there is no reason for them to keep trying to change each other. As bitter as life can be, they come to the conclusion that they should accept its imperfections -- that in friendships, there will be struggles and misunderstandings, but sugarcoating it or pretending that everything is watered down or milky good, isn't being honest with themselves. Which is what is really happening within Suho and Chanyeol -- they may be sitting next to each other but deep inside, they're opposing one another as shown through Kai and Baekhyun's actions. On the surface it seems as though the members are all talking about their friendships and the struggles they had over the past few years. But, as we have discovered with many of EXO's songs, SM has actually been planning their song releases and MV storylines since their pre-debut days, way back in 2012, as we hear in EXO's pre-debut teasers. So, if that is the case, then that was before EXO had even gone through any of their major struggles as a group, so I think the meaning of "Universe" may have evolved only because we as listeners have reinterpreted it to fit a new narrative. That's the beauty of songs like this, you can interpret it however you want and make it fit whatever story you want or need it to.

"Sing For You" came out in 2015 and it is literally, as the title says, EXO singing to EXO-L. Some say the MV and song are about how the members feel and how they are dealing with the 3 Chinese members -- Kris, Luhan and Tao -- leaving the group. The remaining 9 members really felt like they let fans down during this time and that they broke their promise to always be one. (As you may know, EXO's slogan is "We Are One," which represents how even as sub-units they were one group and they are one with the fans, etc. So, when the Chinese members left, the rest of the members felt like as a group they broke that promise.) So this song was a promise and apology song. This was so far from simple times for the members of EXO. This was probably one of the hardest times for EXO and EXO-Ls. That's why you see Chanyeol and Suho get in a fight, because as the leader, Suho really blamed himself for not being able to keep the group together and Chanyeol is pretty much yelling at Suho to stop blaming himself and that there is no point because Kris, Luhan and Tao made their own choices and there is nothing he could have done about it even if he wanted to, etc. They are all angry and sad because they felt like they were all so blindsided by everything that happened. A lot happened during this time, and there was so much uncertainty about what it meant for the group, etc. In the beginning you see them happy because this was after they have worked through their anger and are now learning to move on. The parts where you see them sad and angry are flashbacks to recent moments where they were still working through their feelings of anger and sadness. In the end of the MV you start to see them being happy and playing around as friends again because they were learning to get past it all and move on and they made the choice to let it go and to keep singing for us, EXO-Ls. :) The whale seems kind of weird until you discover the meaning behind it all, and then it shows how clever and meaningful they were with the concept. The whale is supposed to represent Alice a.k.a. "The Loneliest Whale in the World", who is an unidentified whale species, she is the only whale that has been found to emit a call at a really high frequency, which means that when she speaks there might not be any other whales that can hear her or answer her back. Sehun is the one who is in the spacesuit and he is supposed to represent the lonely feeling you get floating all alone in space. The astronaut comes from the story/poem about an astronaut who spent time alone in his spaceship as he came back to Earth and how he said that time was the longest and most lonely of mankind. The combination of these two concepts, along with the lyrics of the song, talk about being away from home, being somewhere unfamiliar (since the whale and astronaut are in space) and being isolated from everything and everyone. Isolation is one of the themes within the MV. The song and the MV seems to talk about how everyone, in their lifetime, will reach a low point where they feel most isolated and like they don't belong or don't fit in, etc. But as the song says, EXO promises that this song and the members will be there to warm listeners', and especially EXO-Ls, hearts. Most of the time when you saw the member in the video they were the voice you could hear singing in the song. If you want to know what the lyrics are about you should look up a lyric video.

In a way, this song could also be indirectly dedicated to the members who have left considering the lyrics of the song.“

The members also explained sometime before that this refers to their relationship with each other.. like in the song Universe misunderstanding and awkwardness between them occur but thats how they became close to each other.. how they have grown to understand each other even without words... just like whales send signals to call for other whales whenever they need each other. I think EXO was kinda isolated by SM before. they only have each other and a few very close friends for a long time. And they learned to survive using each others strengths. It maybe a bit dramatic for others but I do feel this vibe in them. One of the things I love about them. They are proud of each other. ❤

13:41-15:05 You are correct, that is Chen! Your commentary on his vocals here -- his choices of when and how long to use vibrato in order to convey vulnerability -- has me excited for you to react to his solo music. Because as you caught on here right away, Chen is VERY intentional with his singing choices. He does this in order to give his singing a lot of nuance and dynamics, all for the purpose of conveying very specific emotions or feelings. Imo this is what makes Chen really stand out as a vocalist: he is not only a technical proficient vocalist, but he is very skillful in picking and choosing from his impressive vocal arsenal/toolkit (technique, volume, register, speed, etc) in order to bring a song alive with the style and emotion he wants to get across. I really recommend you check out some tracks from his newest album to get a real first look at Chen's incredibly dynamic singing -- specifically "Mirage of Flower" (no mv, just lyric videos), "Light of My Life" (does have an mv) and "Free World" (no mv, just lyric videos).

Sing For You music video was inspired by a poem by Joey Barro titled 'The Astronaut's Whale'. It's actually a children's literature focusing on sense of belonging, loneliness and home. Basically this song is about EXO's bond with each other and the fans. They're each others' 'home'. You can see them fighting loneliness, having disagreement, despair etc and in the end of the daycome back to each other because that's where they belong.

The opening and closing visuals and the melancholy feeling of the song are a genius pairing, imo. The astronaut: Michael Collins, an Apollo 11 astronaut, was dubbed the “worlds loneliest man” after his time passing through the dark side of the moon alone and losing communication with earth for over 40 minutes. Collins piloted the command module Columbia, spending close to 28 hours alone in orbit, while Armstrong and Aldrin were taking humankind’s first steps on the moon. The whale: Scientists believe loneliest whale or “52 Hertz Whale,” has spent its entire life in solitude calling out at a frequency that is different from any other whale. He can have no meaningful communication with others of his kind.

19:13 The whale concept was derived from the whale called Alice aka" the loneliest whale in the world "who id an unidentified whale species , being the only whale emitting a call at 52_ hertz . (You know that the loneliest whale in the world is the 52 Hz whale. The vocal range of blue whales is between 15-20 Hz, while the frequency of this whale's song is 52 Hz, because of this, the rest of the whales never hear it, and it always remains alone while it is constantly calling them). The Astronaut concept was derived from the real story of the astronaut who spent 48 minutes in his spaceship and coming back saying that those 48 minutes were the longest and most loneliest of mankind . The combination of this two concepts placed within the Mv discusses being away from home , being a somewhere unfamiliar ( since the whale and astronaut is in space ) and being isolated Isolation was one of the themes in the mv ( when kai was seen being alone when the other members were playing / when chanyeol and suho were fighting ). The song and mv seems to talk about how everyone , in their life time , would meet a low point where they feel most isolated and most out of their place, but that this song (and exo ) will be there to warm their hearts .

thank you so much... that is very interesting and such a good way to deepen the message of the song..-..

IMO this is one of the best masterpiece on kpop ballad song❄️🤍

Miracles in December always get me. So emotional.

Miracles in December please :)

gracias realmente tus reacciones a los temas de EXO me tienen atrapada, me identifico mucho con su análisis y por supuesto con su preferencia hacia DO

there winter albums are always the best to listen to in winter for real it's giving u all the warming fillings ❤

This is so beautiful 🥲❤

I would recommend the whole universe album reaction

Next, mama-monstrer-wolf in exorodium please

Thank you for your genuine reaction and analysis to EXO's songs. All EXO’s winter songs are so beautiful and I would like to suggest a gem that only a few reactors have reacted to it. It is one of my favourite EXO's beautiful winter song "Wait". I really love their beautiful vocal with only simple guitar background. As mentioned by EXO in an interview for their Love Shot-the fifth album repackage that this song was originally selected for their winter album, but due to some reason, there was no winter album after their last "Universe" 2017 Winter Album, they included this song for EXO-L so that we could have a winter song. There is no MV for "Wait", you can react to the fan made lyrics MV and their live performance in “[0xFESTA with EXO #3]” with all members or the performance in their concert in Japan (only 6 members because D.O and Xiumin were in the military). Even the composer of Wait was very happy because he knew this song was for EXO’s winter album but for some reasons, it was not included in every winter album and he has almost forgot about it. It’s been a long “wait”. Looking forward to your reaction.

More exo please

I'm very grateful because what I like is exo 😊

finally universe! might be my favorite of exo winter album title tracks! everything everything is so nicely done. exo vocal is one thing but yeah the whole song BONUS the music video is just pleasing. and sing for you! you got it right it was indeed chen’s voice! we as a society need exo to release another winter album!!! exo’s regular albums are usually so-how do we say it-experimental? like obsession and tempo. but their winter albums feel like a treat for general public and always suit the holiday vibe, i miss them. anw great video! thank you for sharing your thoughts on exo! happy holiday!

Next please. _Miracle in December _For Life Thank you

Yeah, exo has the best winter albums of all time. In fact that now on, one of the song from 10 years ago "The First Snow" is trending on every social media and hit some charts nowadays 😂 beating their own new album Exist 😅 The song is old but gold.

Okay, we'll be doing ballads. EXO RAPPERS AND DANCERS: Bring it on! 😂❤ . I felt so proud when you said "wow" when it was Chanyeol, the rapper singing. 😊

Love their Winter Albums!❤

I would like to suggest you to do more reaction videos for EXO concerts versions. You can see more clearly their vocals and group work there. I cant stop watching your videos for EXO. Your reaction, comments and explanation are so practical and realistic. I love how you can see EXO's vocals and their background harmonies and group work. And i would like you also to do videos for EXO albums' side track songs . For me, their side track and winter albums are like treasure. So, im waiting for your next EXO videos.

thank you so much

thank you for your reaction 🤍 exo’s ballad songs are just heart touching. and i really like your mentions about song’s structure. because i think you are reacting objectively: yah, as you noted, these songs are ordinary ballad songs. but with its own highlights. they are simple, calm, without sudden changes and tonalities. but they're still wonderful because they're soothing, calming . the perfect combination of guitar and piano, other instruments and pure vocals of our guys. Keep up the good work! We are waiting for new reactions.

Thank you very much, I am glad you like it...

kpop needs exo's winter album (even antis know that) no one has done it like them to this day❤

Thank you for reaction 🥹❤️

In the same way that Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas comes into rotation again whenever we're heading into the holidays, for many kpop fans a lot of EXO songs come into season again each winter for the last decade, especially First Snow due to it being people's go-to song when they get their first snow of the year. It hardly ever snows where I live but I still like to get out the EXO winter albums every December.

Universe like warm vibes but sing for you cold vibes

Love these songs so much!

The astronaut and the whale symbolize loneliness and longing, it is a concept very little seen in kpop at that time. Beyond the meaning in the music video, the Sing For You album has a song in collaboration with Star Wars called Lightsaber, which is another reason why they used that resource. Although EXO has had as a concept since their debut the fact that they come from EXO Planet, well it is a union of many things lol

The whole UNIVERSE album is a masterpiece. I hope you'll do an album reaction to it.

thank you for reacting to EXO's mv 🙏 I love this song too 💙

Universe Best part: D.O. coming in with his really soft low buttery smooth voice 😊 btw about sing for you mv, it's a sad story how they lost their former member

EXO ❤❤❤❤thank you!

Check song "wait"

Yeah, been through b side my fav from this album

So fun to watch your reaction to «Universe», in the way you anticipated what instrumental to come next, and smiling so cutely afterwards. I’m really fond of the entire Universe album. It’s my favorite from EXO, and I never skip a single song when I put it on: Universe, Been Through, Stay, Fall, Good Night, Lights Out. They’re all incredibly beautiful! (And I also really enjoy when D.O. comes in on that bridge in Universe. To be expected when he’s my ultimate bias, but anyway. He’s super adorable in the behind the scenes from this MV shoot. And he’s iconic for sporting that short military haircut as an active idol at the time. He did it for his movie role as Roh Kisoo in «Swing Kids», which I heartily recommend you watch if you ever feel curious to see him act). Now I’m ranting again. I’m sorry. Thank you for checking out more EXO ❤
