You have lots of good comments here so I'll just say: it is so hard to describe what it was like to see and hear Lay in an EXO MV again. It was such an amazing surprise. It had been like 4 years of watching EXO and listening to their albums without him and then they gave us this gem of a mini album with Lay's voice on every track and so many of us were in tears.
Thank you for the reaction, I really enjoyed it. Chen & Suho were in the military when Don't fight the feeling came out. The member you didn't recognise in Call me baby is chinese member Tao, he left the group after CMB.
The member u didn’t know in Call me baby MV is Tao (he left in 2015)
All the other 9 members are still in the group(Xiumin,Suho,Lay,Baekhyun,Chen,Chanyeol,D.O,Kai,Sehun)
In EXO's "Don't Fight the Feeling" they used green screen during a lot of the MV because Lay was unable to be in Korea to shoot the MV, so he shot all his parts separate in his studio in China and they inserted them into the MV. This MV was released in June 2021 -- during the pandemic -- and it was shot right before Baekhyun and Chanyeol enlisted in the military. (Suho and Chen had already enlisted before this MV was planned, so they were the only members who didn't participate.) There were only 7 members of the 9-member group in this MV.
If you watch the behind the scenes shooting video of "Don't Fight the Feeling," czcams.com/video/9jLMVuQKd0g/video.html, as well as Lay's behind the scenes shooting video in China, czcams.com/video/Xq2WjjW7gZE/video.html, you will see how and why things were done the way they were.
This mini album was a special project they did for EXO-Ls because Xiumin and D.O. had just been discharged from the military -- which is one reason why they have a prominent role in the MV -- and Chanyeol and Baekhyun were about to enlist.
"Don't Fight the Feeling" is a milestone for fans because this is the first time we have seen Lay "back together" (sort of) with EXO since 2016/2018, because of all the political issues between Korea and China.
If you notice, this MV establishes EXO's connection to Planet Exo, with the words EXO Planet strategically placed around the ship. And you also may have noticed L-1485 in several places on the ship because this represents EXO-Ls, 14/08/05 (Aug. 5, 2014) -- 1485 -- is the day EXO's fandom was given the name EXO-L. (Fun fact: As you may remember, Chanyeol also has a real tattoo that says L-1485 because EXO's fans are that important to him. :D)
As you saw at the end of the MV, it's thought that EXO are on their spaceship traveling across dimensions.
"Don't Fight the Feeling" is also connected to EXO's and SuperM's storyline and it's all part of the SM Culture Universe. If you follow the storylines of all of SM's groups you will see connections can be made with "Don't Fight the Feeling" to EXO's story, as well as several of SM's other groups' MVs, such as SuperM's "100", WayV's "Moonwalk", NCT's "Save", etc. For example, the flag you see in this MV should remind you of the flags you will see as the logo during EXO's "Obsession" comeback, as well as the flags you will see in EXO's live concert performance of "El Dorado", and the scene with Sehun on the motorcycle should remind you of the scenes with him on the motorcycle in EXO's "Tempo" and "Lightsaber" MVs, etc.
The meteors and the explosions, etc. are all part of SM's Universe storyline, as well. We see the planet burning at the end of EXO's "Obsession" MV and you will see everything on fire when you watch Lay's solo "Sheep" Alan Walker Relift version MV. There are also meteor showers happening in several of EXO's concert VCR and MV teaser concept videos, etc. And I think it's even connected to the meteor shower we see happening in WayV's "Moonwalk" MV, etc. And, now, it really looks like it could be connected to what is happening in EXO's new "Let Me In" MV.
And I think the blue drink we see Kai drinking has something to do with the blue drink we see EXO drinking in their "Ko Ko Bop" MV. (And now I also think it's connected to the blue drinks we see all the EXO members drinking in their new "Cream Soda" MV.)
They use red, white and blue all over in this MV, because they are South Korea's colors. Plus, as mentioned before, red and blue are all part of EXO's storyline.
Therefore, because we see EXO dressed in blue and black when they are part of the crew of the ship -- similar to the outfits we saw in their "Obsession" MV -- this is most likely an indication that this is EXO. However, when we see them in the group "party scene" this could possibly be X-EXO, EXO's alter ego clones, who were created by the Red Force. We see Lay in red and other members with red accents, so they might be under the Red Forces' control in those scenes.
One theory is that "Love Me Right" is showing the EXO members in different locations or time periods -- or possibly, part of a dream-like existence, created by the Red Force to trap the members within the maze, like we see in their "Overdose" MV. Therefore, if EXO are still trapped in the maze, some of the scenes are also thought to be them fighting to break free from the fog that the Red Force has them in and escape, etc.
Some also say "Love Me Right" establishes how EXO are traveling through history looking for the Red Force as they try to fix all the problems that the Red Force has caused, while they search for the Tree of Life. That is why each scene looks like it is from a different time period.
Yet again, we see the red light because, as with everything EXO does, red represents the Red Force. So, some theories are that the scenes with the red light are scenes where the Red Force has control, and the scenes where you see the blue light are when EXO has the upper hand. And the scenes where you see the purple colors are times when the line is blurred and EXO and the Red Force are crossing paths -- red and blue mixed together make purple. Also, since we now have more information about X-EXO, which are EXO's alter ego clones, some new theories are starting to suggest that maybe the red scenes are actually the X-EXO clones and the blue scenes are the EXO members.
And, although the smoke looks pink, I think we are supposed to recognize it as red-tinted smoke, which is another indication that whatever is causing the smoke has something to do with the Red Force. Some theories even think that scene might be connected to EXO's "Lucky One" MV storyline. In "Lucky One" we see the Red Force experimenting on EXO and, in the EXO-M version, Xiumin is trapped in a box filled with smoke or fog. In "Love Me Right" we see Xiumin doing some sort of experiment in the room with the red smoke.
At one point you see Xiumin mixing some sort of purple liquid and, although I am not sure what he is making or why, some theories speculate that that potion is created from flowers. And flowers are a central theme in almost all of EXO's MVs. We see Xiumin mixing/blending a similar liquid with flowers in EXO-CBX's "Blooming Day" MV. Also, because this liquid is purple, I think it could potentially be some sort of potion that will help the EXO members break the spell the Red Force has over them or it will help to identify who are the real EXO members and who are the evil X-EXO alter ego clones in disguise, etc.
The smashed TV is also thought to be connected to EXO's Japanese song, "Coming Over" MV storyline. In "Coming Over" we see EXO smashing TVs, mirrors, and surveillance cameras, in what is thought to be an attempt at stopping and preventing the Red Force from controlling humanity. And in EXO-CBX's "Hey Mama" MV we see that the CBX members have now infiltrated a TV news studio and they are working to stop the Red Force from controlling the news anchors and corrupting society by controlling the flow of news, etc.
Some have pointed out that the smashed TVs look like running water. Water is Suho's superpower and fire is Chanyeol's power. And we see Suho and Chanyeol in that scene. So, Suho and Chanyeol are most likely involved with whatever is happening in this scene.
The scene where you see Baekhyun laying on the train tracks could possibly be connected to the storyline in EXO-CBX's "Horololo" MV where we see Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin searching the train tracks for clues. (It also now could be connected to SuperM's storyline in their "100" MV, SHINee Key's solo debut "One of Those Nights" MV, aespa's "Black Mamba" storyline, SHINee's "Don't Call Me" MV storyline, EXO Kai's solo debut storyline, and EXO Baekhyun's "Bambi" MV storyline, etc. as part of the SM Culture Universe story that connects everything SM does together.)
And the scene where you see Xiumin laying on the ground, almost as if he is passed out, in the middle of the forest looks as though it is connected to Suho's "Call Me Baby" pathcode teaser video storyline, as well as the scenes with Suho in the forest in EXO's "For Life" MV. We see Xiumin being woken up by, I think Suho, with a sort of fog all around them. I think the fog might be the fog we see Suho and Xiumin trapped within when they are being experimented on in "Lucky One, and Xiumin is waking up either within a dream or being woken from a dream.
To really understand what might be going on in this MV you pretty much have to pause the MV at every scene and really analyze what is happening in each frame. And, although I have watched this MV numerous times, because it is so complex, I still have no idea what most of the MV is trying to tell us.
Although I am not sure what the marbles mean, I know they are somehow connected to EXO's "Call Me Baby" pathcode teaser videos -- and more specifically D.O.'s teaser -- where we see D.O. with marbles, and SM specifically points out that we need to pay attention to the marbles to solve the riddle. And we see a newer reference to the marbles in EXO's "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV.
As you can see, everything EXO does is connected to their concept and storyline and it's all about the fact that they are fighting the Red Force and searching for the Tree of Life. And because EXO are trying to undo everything and stop the Red Force from corrupting humanity, the Red Force is always standing in EXO's way, trying to stop them from accomplishing their tasks and prevent them from reuniting the two halves of the Tree of Life in order to prevent peace from being restored in the world.
And the story continues in every MV.
And the storyline even continues with the choreography. If you watch their dance practice video, you may notice that there are several dance moves where it could be interpreted as some of the members using their powers. For example, D.O. waves his arms and the rest of the members are pulled toward him or pushes away from him. D.O. has the power of earth/force, which gives him strength. I also see the gliding movements representing how the members are traveling across time and place as they fight to regain control from the Red Force, etc.
"Love Me Right" was released in June 2015 -- Kris and Luhan left the group in 2014 and Tao left around April 2015 -- so this was the first MV where there are 9 members.
To really appreciate their vocals and dancing, you should also see "Love Me Right" live. Check out a comeback stage or one of their live videos from a concert, even if it's just on your own time. :D
Yes, in "Call Me Baby" there are only 10 members because this song came out in 2015 and it was the first MV after 2 of EXO's Chinese members left -- Kris left right after their "Overdose" MV came out and Luhan left about 6 months later in 2014. This also was the last MV were we see Tao, the third Chinese member that left the group. Tao (The tall, blond with the orange shoes who is the youngest member of EXO-M) left the group shortly after "Call Me Baby."
A couple members you didn't know? I think the only member you don't know is Tao. However, if you still don't know Lay, then you really need to get to know him. He is an important part of EXO. He is EXTREMELY talented, with a very prolific solo career. (You seriously can't know all the members of EXO and not know Lay.)
Because you enjoyed "Call Me Baby" so much, you definitely should also check out the EXO-M Mandarin Chinese version. If you watch the two versions side by side, you will see that the members that are featured in each part are different and even in the dance sections where you might think "it looks the same" there are different members doing different parts. The two versions of their MVs may look similar, but that's only because they filmed the MV twice and deliberately made the scenes look the same. Also, if you really pay attention, the scenes may look the same, but the members who sing the parts are different depending on the version that you watch.
For example, in the Mandarin version you will see the EXO-M (Chinese) members featured more (Lay, Xiumin, Chen and Tao) and they sing the main parts, and in the Korean version the EXO-K members (D.O., Baekhyun, Chanyeol, Sehun, Suho and Kai) sing those same parts. In the Korean version a lot of the main parts were sung by D.O., but if you watch the mandarin version, you will see that Lay sings those parts, and in the Mandarin version the rap was done by Tao and Xiumin, where in the Korean version it's Chanyeol and Sehun, etc. Also, if you watch the Mandarin version you will be able to see a different sports car with Tao driving the car instead of Kai.
FYI: If you watch the Mandarin version, you will be able to see Xiumin with the ponytail a lot more.
Also notice how, just like in "Wolf" and "Growl," the camera is another character in the story, which is supposed to represent the girl they are singing to. And when Chen makes that transition by jumping through the doorway, notice how his outfit changes from all black to him now wearing red, which could possibly mean it goes from Chen the good EXO member who is telling us (the girl) to don't "call me baby" as a warning to watch out for the Red Force, and then in the next frame we see X-EXO, alter ego Chen appear in red.
Fun fact: Leading up to the release of the "Call Me Baby" MV, there were 10 Pathcode teasers that were released over several weeks. There was a short teaser video for each of the members, and combined with clues from an SM Entertainment twitter account, we had to piece together the story and solve the mystery to reveal the release date and title of EXO's new song, which ended up being "Call Me Baby." If you notice, there are 10 letters in the title "Call Me Baby" so there was one letter per EXO member. If you want to watch their Pathcode teasers just search SM's CZcams channel. They are all there. The stories in the teasers also connect to EXO's larger storyline as well, and it is thought that they not only show clues to "Call Me Baby," but they also reveal more clues to EXO's storyline and tell a little more of EXO's story. The Pathcode videos are super interesting and very mysterious, just like everything EXO does.
Tao is the last member that left EXO shortly after Call Me Baby. Best solo guides for EXO are from Cesar Oh. Lovin' the journey. If you would like some solos from Lay. One of his latest is Veil...
I recommend you the ultimate guide to EXO group history storyline and member info please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yes by Pastel Cookies. Plus individual guide by Cesar Oh please. Very good guides but kinda outdated specially for solo activities. But sadly the latest good guides.

Loving your EXO reactions. Can I just say though when you get to watching more solos and you get to Baekhyun, please don't forget his Get You Alone mv because many people forget about it because it's a Japanese single but his Japanese album is fiiire lol Anyway Get You Alone is one of his best mvs and you will love it I'm sure 🥰
U should check out the whole Don’t fight the feeling mini album it’s so good
React to EXO Don’t fight the feeling MV behind the scenes pls
This was so fun, really enjoying watching your EXO and SuperM journey and I swore I would never invest in another reaction channel just because most reactions treat EXO like they're disposable or filler so I promised myself I would just subscribe to this one reaction channel that I know are genuinely interested in exploring EXO but your expressions say it all. You are also genuinely interested in getting to know them and it's cool to see. I don't expect anybody to love everything they do but just be genuine and it seems more and more reactors are just interested for fake reasons and it's just been really bizarre lol Glad there are still some genuine people truly interested
I feel ya but at the same time girl, we are the largest fanbase in the world lol. Dont need to feel bad about fake reactors 😂 Exo literally the group with the highest est net worth and the most streamed ever in MeLon history despite military and hiatus… fans and even non kpop fans enjoy their music on the daily… i mean 2023 exist album broke the 24hr pre order record on ktown4u previously held by jisoo and seventeen despite exo not even promoting abroad… exo-Ls are rich and loyal, and we keep getting bigger every year 😂
I really appreciate how you took deep dive into Exo's discography and you seem genuinely appreciate their music and talents. Pls continue reacting to Exo albums too
And if you want to react to EXO as a whole group i recommend you to watch the music videos in chronological order: EXO: "History", "What is love", (This two are pre-debut songs) "MAMA", (It’s the official debut song) "Wolf", "Growl", "Miracles in december", "Overdose", "Call me baby", "Love me right", "Lightsaber", "Sing for you", "Lucky one", "Monster", "Lotto", "Dancing king", "Coming over", "For life", "Kokobop", "Power", "Universe", "Electric kiss", "Tempo", "Love shot", "Obsession", "Don’t fight the feeling", “Let me in”, “Hear me out” and “Cream soda” (EXO already have 7th full albums "XOXO", "EXODUS", "EXACT", "THE WAR", "DONT MESS UP MY TEMPO” "OBSESSION" and “EXIST”, EXO also have 2 mini albums "MAMA", "Overdose", EXO have 1 Japanese full album "Countdown", EXO have 4 s winter special albums "Miracles in December", "Sing for you", "For life" and "Universe" and EXO have 1 special album "Don’t fight the feeling")
And I recommend you to react to EXO dingo Killing Voice to hear why EXO is the vocal kings and I recommend you as well react to EXO live concerts

16:25 Yep, Xiumin~^.^ We used to call it the "EXO-M Manbun" or "EXO-M Apple Hair" cause the EXO-M members, in particular, were the most prone to throwing their hair up in a ponytail or manbun,~~~
+ Chanyeol also rocked a ponytail fairly often around debut~^.^
17:25 And this was called Poodle!dae (Poodle + "dae" from Jongdae, Chen's name)~^.^

Thank you! I have a guide and baekhyun solos coming soon! and I haven’t listened to the exist album yet but I will!

If you're going to react to Exo guides then I'd recommend "The ultimate guide to Exo" by Pastel Kookie and individual guides by Caesar Oh. There's also 2023 guide but I haven't checked it out yet to know whether its good to react to or not, its anyways 3 hours long.
I'd also recommend to check out "Exo main vocalist live vocals 2023 best vocal line in kpop" by Exo-L CZcams TEAM. The same channel also has another video consisting of all members.
I am excited with you reacting their guides by Cesar Oh 🥰
I feel like u should watch Lay's songs if u want. It's a new experience you'll never imagine what awaits u. I suggest you to watch (honey, lit, Namanana, veil) and also a new song will be releases today with lauv called (run back to you)

the member you said you didn't know is Tao (Huang Zitao) he left the group at the request of his father as he was always being injured from doing the martial arts stunts on stage, Tao didn't want to leave the group, but you do as daddy says, I guess. Lay left the company not EXO.
Girl i dont think your ready for Baekhyuns solos 😂 you well have a heartattack once you listen to Stay up and drown
KAI is only 88 days older than sehun.
