EXOGlobal

What makes me think EXO are different from any other rookie group? EXO have changed my life in so many different ways it's just really surprising. Now that I look back, it was their raw talent that pulled me in. At the beginning, I was really nervous because during interviews all the boys would be quiet and the stress would rely on Kris and Suho to speak for them. Even in their showcase, they were so shy. And goddamn mysterious. It was really weird because these were the same boys who in their teasers showed a whole lot of confidence, their wide range of talents. Their teaser songs had ranged from different type of music which showcased their vocal line and dancing talents. I swear to God, once I saw Tao's wushu teaser(#3). I was like so shocked, idk. It was D I F F E R E N T. What group debuts with a wushu master LMAO. SM used Tao's wushu skills to their advantage. They didn't focus on one target audience. They made sure their teasers appealed to teenagers, noonas, ahjummas, fanboys ect. Because of their showcase, I was reeled into them. They were so much different from what their teasers showed. I'd expected them to be more sexy and playful(they did talk but you can tell their nerves hehe). So once their first interviews came out, I just watched it! I wanted to get to know them. And after watching their interviews, I realized they didn't put a facade on. They weren't /fake/. They were humans who laugh, become nervous, cry, smile like us. They try to communicate with their fans as best as possible. They care about us, to the point where they perform even when they're in pain. They lie to us telling us they're 'okay' when they're not. They sacrafice their sleep just to practice and put a good performance for us the next day. They go out of their way to accept fangifts even though they'd get in trouble with Manager afterwards. Although, during trainee years, Chinese trainees were treated "differently"(commonly bullied by other trainees) even when Xiumin and Chen debuted to EXO-M. None of the boys left them out, they make them feel as if this is their new home. They help them with their mandarin, they care about them. The fact that they acknowledge each other as not just members. This isn't just a job to them. The boys that stand next to them aren't just colleagues they work with. They're brothers, and they love each other immensely. And the fact that you can feel that love, their connection all the way from my computer screen is shocking. I'd type more but I'm running out of space. ;;
