EXO: A guide for new Exotics!
There are twelve members which started off separated into Exo-K and Exo-M but they've kind of joined together. Rather than Exo-K and Exo-M for Wolf and Growl, it's just Exo: Chinese vers. and Korean vers.
If you couldn't tell, the logo says EXO, look closer~ They also come from "EXO planet."
Their debut song is Mama [korean,. chinese.]. It has a long narration at the start that I'm pretty sure Exotics know by heart now; "When the skies and the grounds were one of legends...". That one. They all had cool powers as well, I'll tell you the individual powers in the member sections...
Their other song, History [chinese, korean] This is the one with the "hands in the pocket" dance, ya know? Where they shake their hands?
They also have "What is love?" [korean, chinese] which is more of a ballad. If you're looking for a slow/romantic song then this is it.
Wolf [korean, chinese] is the next song, you'll see "Gurae Oolf, Nagae Oolf, awoo! Ah Saranghaeyo~" jokes around tumblr. Also, people make fun of some of the dance moves and, also, I'm sorry for laughing but watch the teaser -_- This is because apparently they can't pronounce wolf but rather say "oolf," instead. We had to wait for this for a while though because of all the teaser photos for each member. *sigh* They all had nicknames for this album...[teaser photos w/ nicknames] The drama version for this took FOREVER to come out. P.S. They still have the powers! ;O
The drama versions were long awaited but are amazing. [korean, chinese] None of the fans seem to like the girl in the music video but to be fair she doesn't do muhc; the character not the actress! However, I think the actual reason none of the fans seem to like her is because Kai kissed her on the cheek. We're all jealous...
Growl is their newest song which is AMAZING! They're all in one in this mv and the mv was recorded in one shot. There is also a "ghost" in the background of the mv.
Two Moons [chinese, korean]
Machine [chinese, korean] (I love this English cover)
Baby, Don't Cry [chinese, korean] <-- Another beautiful ballad. Everyone died when they heard this.
Black Pearl [chinese, korean]
Don't Go [chinese, korean]
Let Out The Beast [chinese, korean]
Heart Attack [chinese, korean]
Peter Pan [chinese, korean]
My Lady [chinese, korean]
The leader of Exo, often called, "Gramps," by fans. He's also rich but doesn't like talking about that. Fans call him $uho or Jun-money but please refrain because he's obviously uncomfortable with the subject. He's also kind, he treated his members to a meal, all 12 of them~
He's the other leader (of EXO-M), he's Canadian so he can speak fluent English. His nickname is BenBen, courtesy of SM. They gave them all nicknames on the XOXO teaser photos. He's tsundere, at first he was all serious and mysterious but now he's all cute and his first attempt at aegyo sucked -_- But now he's improved~
The oldest member of EXO, yes, it's true. His nickname is Baozi which means Dumpling because of his chubby cheeks. He's very cute~
The second oldest, again, he doesn't look it. Him and Sehun are possibly the most shipped in EXO, hunhan. They also look a lot a like that even the members mistake them early in the morning when they're tired. He looks like a 10 year old most of the time and is full of aegyo, but don't misunderstand. He's very manly and is really good at football.
He's very cute and people call him "Bacon," because of how it sounds similar to his name. A lot of people also say that he loves eyeliner and this is often mentioned in fanfics and such.
He is often lost in his own world and doesn't seem to notice his surroundings for most of the time. He has dimples! He preformed sometimes with SHINee during their debut days. Fans also talk about how his name, "Lay," is the same as the crisp company.
He is the troll in EXO. His name name is Chen Chen, which Kris calls him. His ideal type is a Noona that would take care of him.
He has big eyes but don't get him confused with D.O. Chanyeol is the tall one. He does the puppy dog face often. I don#t think he even notices he's doing it. He's also in charge of everything. (Except dance...)
D.O. has big eyes and is seen as adorable, he's also really short but to be fair a lot of the members are really tall *cough, cough* Kris. Chanyeol. *cough*
This is Kai, the hot one who has his top of reguarly. He's confident and cool. He's also the dancing machine. His eye contact with the camera will kill you.
This, however, is Jongin. The dorky side of Kai who is best friends with Taemin from SHINee. People refer to Kai as the cool one and Jongin the dorky one. Just so you don't get confused, they are the same person.
He's the maknae of EXO-K and is known for his bitch face. He's Luhan's wife and has had his hair every colour possible. He actually had rainbow hair at one point. Fans often makes puns of his name Oh Sehun. He also has a little bit of a lisp, some fans make fun of him for this and call him (th)ehun. Please, don't do this.
Known as Tao or sometimes Zitao. He is also called panda because of his eyes that look like eyebags but are natural. He also does Wushu~ He's the maknae of EXO-M and EXO all together. Fans also talk about how he likes Guchi. His hair has also been a few different colours.
REMEMBER! They aren't all Korean...
This is a well known quote in the EXO fandom.
Hunhan = Luhan and Sehun.
Kaisoo = Kai and Kyungsoo (D.O.)
Baekyeol = Baekhyun and Chanyeol
Most popular OT3 = Kai, Luhan and Sehun
Each of these powers are used in their music video for Mama. In their music video for Wolf, they also have the same symbols as below which glow blue on various places on their bodies. Only Kris and Luhan's have done this. so far. Some of them also have red eyes in Wolf. Suho and Chanyeol, also, change into wolves.
