Thanks for reacting to History. I think the song is great but it often gets ignored by other reactors in favor of other tunes or they don't know about it, so I'm glad you found it.
Amazing isn't it? From the first time when EXO did pre debut already be waited by many new fans. EXO released 2 songs in their pre debut "What Is Love" and "History" on 2011 before they debuted with song MAMA on 2012.
I really love EXO with all their talents. Thank you for reacting to EXO 👍
Actually, although "History" and "What Is Love" are pre-debut songs, they were both still released in 2012, the same year as "Mama." "History was released in March 2012 and "What is Love was released in January 2012. EXO debuted in April 2012, which was only 2 or 3 months apart, not 2011.
This the song that made me love EXO. I find their vocals different from other groups 🥰 Then i listen to What is love and Mama which confirm more about my feelings
EXO discography is among the best, if not the best in all of K-Pop! This group doesn't follow the trend, they create it! Please continue reacting to their music.
EXO's "History" MV is supposed to be an introduction for EXO and it was meant to begin to establish their storyline and concept as a group.
Although they may look young here, they aren't that young. The oldest Xiumin was 22 when they debuted and the youngest Kai and Sehun were about 18. They have been in the industry for more than 10 years, so what you are seeing is their growth.
And although their hair looks crazy for today's standards, it's really not that crazy if you consider what everyone looked like back then. It's just different than the styles today. A lot of those "Crazy" hairstyles were pretty on trend for what hairstyles were like back then. Their hair isn't any more crazy than I bet your hair looked back then. We all have those childhood photos where we cringe looking at them now, but we thought we looked good or cool at the time. LOL
To understand their "History" MV, here's what you need to know: As aliens from Planet Exo, the members are about to be sent to Earth on a mission. "History" is thought to be about how EXO are still on Planet Exo and they are preparing to be sent to Earth. So that is why it has a very futuristic look and feel to it. There isn't a whole lot of story because it is a pre-debut MV, so this was meant to just introduce the members and establish their concept.
"History" is EXO's second pre-debut track. It was released in 2012 -- about 2 months after their first pre-debut song and MV "What is Love," and about a month before "Mama," which is EXO's official debut -- so this is more than 10 years ago. "History" is the introduction of the storyline and it explains what led up to the events in "Mama."
In the EXO-K version of "History" you only saw the EXO-K (Korean) members -- Kai, D.O, Suho, Sehun, Baekhyun and Chanyeol -- singing, and in the middle of the song you see them flash to the EXO-M (Chinese) members -- Lay, Kris, Chen, Luhan, Xiumin and Tao. However, if you watch the EXO-M version, you will see that the EXO-M members are the main characters in the story and they only show the EXO-K members briefly. This establishes how the two groups are separate and yet still are all part of one group as EXO. Both versions of their MVs may look the same on the surface, but the story is slightly different because it is being told from a different angle or different perspective in each version.
Fun fact: if you compare the English translation of the Korean and Mandarin lyrics, you will see that the songs are slightly different. Because, as the intro to "Mama" points out, the two halves of EXO stand on the same ground and see different things and they stand on different grounds and see the same thing -- they are separate groups and yet they become one, etc. Hence, their songs and story are the same and yet different.
The song is called "History" and in the lyrics they talk about making history. It's about failing at something and trying again to make it right. Therefore, the theory is that in this part of the story EXO made some sort of unknown "big mistake" on their planet, so they have been sent to Earth to try and right their wrongs by trying to prevent the Red Force from causing a "big mistake" or prevent humanity from allowing a "big mistake" to happen on Earth. They are trying to prevent "History" from repeating itself. And they want to make "History" here on Earth. It establishes the whole reason why EXO are fighting against the Red Force and why they need to find the Tree of Life and restore peace. They can't let whatever happened on their planet happen again on Earth, etc.
The part of the dance where they put their hands in their pockets and shake their pants, I interpret as the nervousness and uncertainty that they are feeling as they are about to embark on this new journey as they prepare to go to Earth and also as a representation of the nerves and excitement they are feeling as they are about to debut. As you can see, even the choreography is designed to tell the story.
However, just so you know, we didn't fully understand that was what the MV and song was trying to tell us, until several years later, after we had more context to go on after we had several other MV stories and more information. But that is why we say, if you want to try and follow EXO's story you have to pay attention to everything and you have to remember as much detail as you can about everything you have ever seen and heard from EXO. Because although you might think you understand one piece of EXO's story, with every new release from EXO, we get a little more information, and, sometimes it helps to confirm what we thought to be true and sometimes it turns the whole theory on its head and makes us realize what was happening wasn't what we thought after all.
What complicates this even more is the fact that almost nothing in their storyline is in chronological order, so we EXO-Ls have to become detectives and analyze every aspect of everything any of the members are involved in to try and piece it all together and figure out where each part fits within their larger storyline. And I literally mean everything, from their teaser videos, to their MVs, to their song lyrics and live performances, concert VCRs (videos played in between sets at their concerts) and even some of their choreography, as well as their sub-unit and solo work. Everything EXO does is connected.
And now that story has branched out even further to include all of SM Entertainment's groups and artists storylines. Everything that SM Entertainment produces is all part of one giant story, like a giant graphic novel or mystery movie series, and it's all connected to the SM universe storyline, that all started with EXO in 2012. Each new MV or project is another chapter in the story, and it's up to us fans to figure out where it all fits in the larger storyline.
To see their dancing better, if you haven't already, check out the dance practice for "History," the choreography is very unique. They have an EXO-K dance practice and an EXO-M dance practice. And it's one of their few choreographies where the two groups are not combined because they were completely separate groups in this MV.
I am so glad and thankful. You are cheching more Exo. The more you see and hear the more you are going to love them. I love other groups too. Kpop is the only music I enjoy. 98% of my playlist is kpop music. But Exo is everything for me. I love Kpop but I am Exo-L exclusively.
Enjoying the EXO journey with you. I love the fact that you decided to go back to the beginning. It's an indicator that you truly enjoy their music!
Exo is always fire. 🔥🔥
