BAP ;-; I miss them and remember the friendly rivalry between BAP and EXO and the fans

Yes...EXO mostly stayed true to their concept (eg. their powers were featured in Lucky One MV, Power MV, Kokobop MV and Obsession) and even in their solos Just as Kai's teleportation was featured in Mmmh, water was featured on both Suho's Grey Suit & Self Portrait, the play with Light was in Baekhyun's UN Village MV and Frost was featured in Xiumin's Brand New MV.

To this day, this debut is so majorly iconic with its visuals, vocals and choreo. I look at the CG and honestly it still holds up till today, they really put the budget in this debut. Plus I always get so hyped when they get to that screamo inspired section, theres nothing like it especially for as a debut!

little did we know we were witnessing history in the making right here. 2012 was a wild time in kpop fr i think thats when it really started to pop off in terms of concepts, choreographies, records, etc. im so grateful to have experienced that in the moment. what i wouldnt give to be in middle school again and discover exo for the first time 😭

I saw Mama ( it means "Majesty" by the way, and the lyrics are very relevant even now days) when it came out and I was already a fan of exo since predebut but Mama cemented me in the fandom and I never gonna stop being an EXO-L. You probably saw their superpowers but their mvs goes quite fast. For example in obsession BaekHyun is fighting his clone at speed of light, cause his power is light. Chanyeol is fighting his with fire balls and fire fists. Sehun's clone repells Sehun's arrows with his wind powers. Those are just some examples. 👽 EXO are aliens with superpowers sent to earth by their Mama ( deity/majesty) to protect us from the evil of the red forces that try to destroy the heart of the tree of life and get EXO'S superpowers. Powers: 💧Suho: water (create and manipulate) ❄Xiumin: frost/ Ice 🌷Lay: Healing 🦄 ☀️BaekHyun: Light ⛈Chen: Lightning / Thunder/ Electricity 🔥Chanyeol: Fire/ Phoenix ☄D.O: Force/ Gravity/ Earth 🌀Kai: Teleportation 🌪Sehun: Wind ( air bender) Ex members: Luhan: Telekinesis Tao: Time control Kris: flight

Kris was flight of the dragon 🐉 and I agree with you. The fact that they have a concept is what called my attention because I never heard of a storytelling one besides their different genres in music. Love the Gregorian chant, harmonization, visuals, rock/metallic beats, choreo and definitely Kai’s face paint. They made me like things I never liked before. EXO are definitely ahead of their time and SM made sure of that. They’re good at everything, this is my first favorite. You can’t go wrong with EXO plus they are my first love in music. I like music but I never felt like this for anyone or group(s). Go figure, EXO did me in. 😂

The national men's group of South Korea. They became the first artists in 12 years who managed to sell more than a million copies of the album. XOXO was named "Album of the Year" at the 2013 Mnet Asian Music Awards, making EXO the youngest male group ever to receive this award. They performed at the closing ceremony of the Universiade 2013 in Kazan. They performed at the opening ceremony of the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon. They sell out concert tickets in 0.2 seconds, which is a WORLD RECORD TO THIS DAY. They received the first Prime Minister's award at the 2017 Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards for their contribution to Korean culture. They were included in the TOP-50 most popular male groups in the world of the last decade according to "24/7 Wall St" (EXO took the 10th place, becoming the only representative of Asia, indicators in Billboard, Spotify and Wikipedia were taken into account). They were included in the Guinness Book of Records as the group that received the largest number of daesans at the MAMA Award. They are the security ambassadors of Seoul. / EXO is my very first and only favorite band in the entire industry. It doesn't matter how many more years pass, EXO were, are and will be Kings of K-POP, Kings of Vocals, Legends and Discoverers of the 3rd generation. EXO, even after 10 years of career, are the most popular, sought-after and highly paid SM group. Yes, because they are their best band in the history of the company. EXO is the only band with such a variety of high-quality music, choreography and visual effects. / PLEASE REACTION TO MV EXO: WOLF. GROWL. LOTTO. HISTORY. DECEMBER. MONSTER. UNIVERSE. OVERDOSE. LUCKY ONE. KO KO BOP. ELECTRIC KISS. COMING OVER. DANCING KING. SING FOR YOU. CALL ME BABY. LOVE ME RIGHT. DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING.

IT's been 10 YEARS NOW, BUT EXO'S VOCALS ARE STILL THE BEST AND MOST SOULFUL I've ever heard IN THE ENTIRE K-POP INDUSTRY. And no, it's not an exaggeration or bias, it's THE PURE TRUTH. PLEASE REACTION TO EXO REALLY SAID: NO MIC? NO PROBLEM! PART 1 AND 2.

Once again, I am convinced that EXO is the biggest diamond, not only in the entire history of sm, but in the entire history of the K-POP industry. It's been 10 years, but I haven't seen a better band, especially with regard to vocals. REACTION TO EXO LIVE SMTOWN 2023.

Xiumin - Frost Luhan - Telekinesis (former member) Suho - Water Lay - Healing Baekhyun - Light Chen - Lighting Chanyeol - Flame Kyungsoo - Earth/Force Tao - Time Control (former member) Kai - Teleportation

Exo's been killing it since predebut to debut to Ten years later and still killing it 💯🔥👑✨

Exo's mv like literally almost ALL you will see their super powers and even solo albums have their individual powers incorporated in them. They started the storyline concept in sm and Because of the success of it since exols love it alot, sm decided to do an sm universe meta world for ALL their artists.

Some form or hint of their powers are in all the videos even if it was in the dance (hint: Monster)

EXO FOREVER❤

EXO KINGS AND LEGENDS OF K-POP FOREVER ETERNA-A FACT THAT HAS NO LONGER NEEDS ANYONE'S APPROVAL. POPULARITY AND LEGNDARITY ARE DIFFERENT CONCEPTS. Popularity is there today, tomorrow it is gone, and LEGENDARITY IS WITH YOU FOREVER. EXO songs released in 2012 in their debut album are relevant to this day. EVERY EXO ALBUM IS A VISION OF ART THAT YOU CAN LISTEN TO ENDLESSLY. EXO MUSIC IS TIMELESS. EXO ARE RELEVANT EVEN AFTER 10 YEARS OF CAREER.

The song's meaning is very beautiful especially right now the world is suffering from war, climate change etc. that result of human greediness and mis behavior "mama" means Highness or in my languages is Lord and they are asking what is happening to the people why they are fighting why they doing bad....the song is so good it like where is the love by black eye peas

Amazing debut from EXO....I never thought about it when I started to knowing about EXO. The best kpop group ever for me. Thank you for reacting to EXO

The song is epic but when you get the opportunity, take a look at the lyrics for Mama.... makes the song that much more epic. Thanks for the reaction.

The fact you will get more goosebumps when you know the lyrics of this song. EPIC debut for sure.

ICONIC. I sing the intro to this song whenever I see anything or anyone who looks like a hooded figure lol

This video was my first time seeing Kpop related thing. I was amazed. That day I've learned about Hallyu, Lee So Man, how he decided the story in 70s and all. THe dedication, planning, and hardwork got me. I've watched almost every group to see what's going on. I loved BigBang, BlockB. I loved "Mirotic"... but Exo had me with their bsides. Today, in my playlist they are side by side with Santana, English rock legends and all beautiful music around the world. Well, respect to each idol who put their everything to make good music.

i remember when it first came out it was such a hype song and it was so different than what was coming out then they also had their predebut songs which you have seen and those were amazing as well.

EXO comeback in 2023 YALL!!!

Here's why you don't want to skip watching the EXO-M counterpart videos -- you will completely miss out on Chen, Xiumin, and Lay. In addition you will be able to see how perfectly matched the two subunits were. If you never heard the initial Chinese members you'll be missing out. I loved Luhan's voice, in particular.

EXOs whole lore is insane but it's crazy to think it all started in this video.

EXO 2023 - Baekhyun is to be discharged on 5th February. EXO is back OT/8 first time since 2019 or OT/9 with Lay since 2017. The excitement is building

Exo is the best 🔥

It was a really really bold debut.

All i know in Korea Royalty 'MAMA' means 'Your HIGHNESS'

Exo اساطير

In order to really see the full story you actually have to also watch the EXO-M version of "Mama." The whole point of both the EXO-K (Korean) and EXO-M (Mandarin Chinese) versions of their songs and each MV is to introduce you to EXO's concept and storyline. If you only watch EXO-K, you only see half the story. "Mama" is like the first episode of EXO's drama -- it sets up everything to come in the rest of the series. And if you miss any part of the first episode you will forever be lost when it comes to the rest of EXO's story. If you watch both versions of their "Mama" MV, you might be able to understand a little more about EXO's mission and everything they have been sent to Earth to do. Because in the EXO-K version the whole story focuses on the K members, but in the M version it will show you the M members and explain their powers and each of their roles in the story. You only see small clips of the M members in the Korean version. But in the Chinese version the story continues, and the EXO-M members are the ones that are highlighted. Exo, as in exoskeleton, means "outer," so as a member of EXO they are outside the ordinary. The group's concept comes from the real term exoplanet, which is a term that is used for a planet that is outside our solar system, so their name was chosen to represent the fact that they are stars that are "out of this world" when it comes to their talents. SM Entertainment has all of EXO's release dates and concepts planned out for years in advance, and some of their MVs are even specifically released on days when we have had an eclipse or other planetary phenomenon. In Korean Mama is a term they use to address a leader or king or queen. It's a term of reverence and respect. It's similar to saying "Your majesty." If you watch very many historical Korean dramas you will hear the characters call the royal family, and especially the head of the royal family or leader, "Mama." So, in this song, they are speaking to the leader or deity who sent them to Earth, essentially asking, "Now that I'm here, Your Majesty what should I do? How do I fulfill what you have sent me to do?" etc. If you want to understand EXO's story, it's very important that you pay attention to the introduction story in "Mama" because it is literally setting up EXO's storyline. The narrator is telling you EXO's whole origin story, about how EXO have been split up into two groups EXO-K and EXO-M and they are part of the same group and yet separate -- part of two worlds that come together as one, etc. And he is telling you about how the Tree of Life has been split in half to protect it from falling into the Red Forces' control -- each half of the tree representing one half of EXO (EXO-K and EXO-M) -- and EXO's mission is to find the two halves of the tree and reunite them to restore peace in the world. In the EXO-K version of "Mama" the members are using their powers to search for and meet up with the EXO-M members. That is why you see the K members traveling to find the M member. For example, you see Kai using his power of teleportation as he searches for the M members. And, because Xiumin is a member of EXO-M, you see him appear in the mirror because the K members are searching for him and he is being summoned, etc. As the story goes, when EXO arrived on Earth they did not all arrive together. Their story starts out that they were dropped on Earth in different locations all over the world -- which is explained more in their individual Pathcode teaser videos as part of their "Call Me Baby" comeback promotions -- and they have to search for each other and meet up, kind of like in a quest, before they can begin to figure out how to accomplish the tasks they have been sent to Earth to do. 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 this 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 the story is that at the end they aren't back together yet, but that is a scene from when they were still on Planet Exo 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 in their MVs and other content, 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 this MV 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. Chanyeol (EXO-K) with the power of fire is Kris' (EXO-M) counterpart because he has the power of flight, and as you will see when you watch 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 is connected to 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 is connected to Lay (M) with the power of healing; and Kai (K) with teleportation is linked to Luhan (M) with the power of telekinesis, etc. That's how they maintain their bond even as members of separate groups. Also, the symbols you saw represent each of the members and it has to do with each of their powers. For instance, Kai's symbol is a pyramid and it represents teleportation, and Lay's symbol is a unicorn and it represents his power of healing, etc. (In future MVs and other things to do with EXO, when you see things like a pyramid, you know that is a reference to something to do with Kai, etc.) Even the most minute of details in EXO's content has something to do with their origin story and EXO's storyline. During that screamo part, that was Kai. The "tattoos" on Kai's face and body say EXO and also all of the EXO members names, or at least the 6 EXO-K members names, as well as EXO's symbol and other hidden clues to EXO's origin story. (All of the words on Kai's face and body are in English, so, if you pause that section and really look, you will see there is a whole story even in his body paint, etc. ) And although it looks like Kai is the one that does the really high note at that moment, the voice you are hearing is Baekhyun, who is one of EXO-K's main vocalist. Each member in EXO-K also has a partner in EXO-M that fills the same role in their respective group. For example, Baekhyun is the main vocalist in EXO-K and Chen is the main vocalist in EXO-M; D.O. 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.) In order to understand the story even more, if you haven't already, you should also look up the English translation of the lyrics. The majority of the gregorian 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)." If you pay attention to what the whole song is about, it will give you even more insight into why EXO have been sent to Earth and what their mission is all about. 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. In this song 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, hatred 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. 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 that storyline. Everything EXO does and everything you see from them, including Baekhyun's 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.

Watch ExoM version so you can see the other 6 powers! Mama means "Your Majesty"

just and FYI Mama means "majesty" or Your Majesty

MAMA IS EPIC ♡

mama means “your majesty” in hangul (korean language). EXO known as vocal kings. If you love rnb/pop rnb you will love their discographies! thanks for your reaction btw. 😊

People don't realize how much EXO changed the kpop industry in general. Dancing in Kpop became much more difficult simply because EXO (and BAP) increased the level out of the blue. Concepts went batshit crazy after this, dance practices were mostly an SM thing, especially with EXO. You wouldn't have today's level in dancing, singing and concepts without EXO and the 3rd generation in general.

Thank you all 😅, EXO gonna have a comeback this year, a full album. Please react to it 😊?

One of the most iconic Kpop debuts ever. The vocals are 🔥!

Thanks for reaction EXO ❤️

when i first watch it in 2013, i was shook asf like at that time, you won't get anything like this at that time and even now, it's difficult to see any group with a consistent concept throughout their songs or mvs. EXO used to be so embarrassed about their powers but now, they're accepting the fact that they're not humans HAHAHAHA

Yup. Their mvs are a saga esp when you are into EXO but to non EXO fans and just want to check if they are that consistent in their concept could just check EXODUS teasers, Power mv and Dont Fight the Feeling teasers. EXO started theories and storyline. And it extends to songs, concert tours and theme, and choreo. Yes. This is what sets EXO apart. Their musicality is unique. As a group they have this certain concept while as solo artists they get to show what they like. 7 out of 9 members have solo albums with different genre.

LOL, I remember people in those times when it started with "When the skys", they were like "Hell no!" and skipped it. It's too long, and people got tired of it. It was fun though, people having the same reaction. 😂

EXO is a diamond not only of SM but of the entire K-POP industry. I sincerely apologize, but the visual effects of EXO are too powerful, as soon as they appear on the stage, they capture you with their dazzle, not letting you go until the very end.
