really likes it.Just as several people were arguing about whether Chi Jingyuan's clothes looked good or not, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and said to the group, "I'm going to answer her ca...When the minute hand pointed to twelve, countless clicks and page refreshes came at once. **'s official website immediately fell into a state of server overload and lag for a few seconds before it finally returned to normal.
Now the page has been refreshed, and the MV for the title song "Growl" from EXO's first studio album reissue is already uploaded.
Below the video is an introduction to this song, as well as the lyricist and composer.
At first glance, the lyrics, composition, and arrangement were all written by one name, Yuan. It was incredibly simple, so simple that it sent a shiver down my spine.
Many people who didn't know about this news before were stunned.
"It's started, it's started!"
Whether it was Jiang Seqi's side or Lin Naien's side, after taking a brief glance at the introduction, they both directly clicked on the video playback and stared intently at the phone screen with their eyes blinking motionless.
tap tap tap tap...
A highly energetic, pulsating electronic prelude blares out, instantly capturing the full attention of all viewers.
Those who were chattering and talking animatedly fell silent all at once.
This intro is so catchy, it immediately perked up my ears.
"yoo, OK."
The screen lit up, Tao gestured to the camera, and the MV officially began.
"Sexy……”
"You may not know, I have to warn you, listen carefully, it is very dangerous now."
"That's dangerous."
The first six to appear all wore gray suits and school uniforms, each with a brand new look that instantly captivated everyone's attention.
"Wow, their school uniform styling is so cool!" Lim Na-yeon couldn't help but exclaim, and was immediately 'shushed' by Yu Deok Yeon, who motioned for her to pay attention.
"Your breath is always quick, you walk towards me."
You're looking at me smile, you're drawn to me too, aren't you
It was Qi Jingyuan's turn. He walked from the back row to the front, a teasing smile on his face. He winked at the camera and then pointed at Kai, engaging in a little interaction that caused countless female fans to cover their mouths in disbelief.
His silvery-gray hair flashed in the trailer, and if you didn't look closely, it might be easy to miss. Many people saw his new look for the first time upon this return.
A neat and well-fitted suit, a white shirt underneath, with a black tie, coupled with his upright posture, instantly brings to mind the archetype of the school heartthrob from manga, the one all the girls chase after in high school.
He was still wearing a baseball cap with the EXOLOGO logo, which made him look cool and energetic. All the members had updated their looks this time, but Ji Kyoung-won's design stood out among them.
"Oh, Yuan is so handsome..."
This heartfelt exclamation came from countless places simultaneously.
After a dance, IUMIN took off the hat from Chi Jingyuan's head, revealing his full hairstyle.
From the moment he stood in the front row, he was the center throughout that verse until the start of the first chorus.
"The shadow of black awakened within me."
"Gazing into your eyes, sparks flew."
"I Eu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-Reong you."
"I Eu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-Reong you."
If I don't retreat, even if I get hurt, I won't care.
The chorus was already revealed before the MV release, but this time, it's a completely different experience.
The music itself is incredibly catchy, with a melody and lyrics that have an incredibly addictive chorus. Paired with the mesmerizing and cool choreography and synchronized sword dance routines, it's impossible not to be captivated and start moving your body along.
The chorus melody is like a magic sound that lingers in the ears, coupled with its unique dance moves, it's hard to shake off from my mind.
The first verse and chorus end. Following Tao's lead, the camera pans with his footsteps to the other side where six members of the second team make their entrance.
"This camera transition... Didn't this MV get edited"
At this time, some more knowledgeable people were surprised to find this.
The second team's performance, the second verse of the song, is completely different from the first. The choreography in this section is dynamic, with the members continuously performing a group dance on stage while also constantly changing positions, giving the audience a fresh and curious feeling.
In the middle, a special camera turning design was incorporated. Kim Jun-myeon waved his hand, and the camera turned to the other side. Woo Se-hun on this side waved his hand and turned the camera back. There was no editing in between, making it seem as if the members were personally operating the camera, filming their own MV.
"This is... one shot!"
Some industry insiders who had been paying close attention couldn't help but murmur in astonishment.
There was no time for them to be surprised, a wave of electrifying excitement followed by another.
Soon, the second group of members entered the chorus. The choreography for the chorus was the same, but performed by a completely different six people, giving it a whole new feel.
After this chorus ended, the camera pulled back and all the members entered. After a quick movement, they crouched down on the ground and formed a large triangular formation.
Chi Jingyuan stood at the sharp point of the triangle. The camera gave him a close-up shot.
He adjusted his suit, a slight smirk playing on his lips. With a cool and swaggering expression, he tilted his head slightly, making gestures towards the camera while holding onto their team name.
"E." With both hands outstretched, the little finger and ring finger curled in, while the other three fingers pointed.
"X" extends the index and little fingers, crossing them in front of the body.
"O" with all fingers extended, hands aligned, and the knuckles forming a circle.
"oo…"
Sun Shengwan gasped in surprise, and couldn't help but immediately imitate Ji Jingyuan's gestures. At this time, Jiang Seqi and Pei Zhuxuan beside her were already engrossed, watching Ji Jingyuan on their phones with unwavering focus, their eyes blinking not even once.
It's very rare to see groups' names mentioned in song lyrics like this, especially a group like EXO who not only incorporated gestures and dances, but also included close-up shots for the name reveal choreography. This set a new precedent, leaving countless fans and viewers watching idols in awe.
Especially at this moment, the main vocalist of the group, Cui Jingyuan, stands out under the camera. When he utters the three letters 'EXO', it is powerful and compelling, leaving a lasting impression.
The audience's jaws were on the floor from that moment on.
Because the entire MV has entered the most high-energy part, and also the coolest part of the choreography in "Roar," it's a group dance.
After announcing their team name, Ji-yeong and the other members crouched down halfway, leaving Park Chan-hyeok to rap alone in the middle.
With the rhythm, all members were squatting and continuously moving their bodies from side to side. Then, they suddenly pushed themselves up with their hands, straightening their waists in mid-air, swaying and rocking for a moment. The camera switched to a wide shot, and eleven people's movements appeared incredibly synchronized, like they were carved out of the same mold.
Then everyone stomped their feet, stood up, and quickly moved into two horizontal rows, collectively shifting to the right.
RAP finished, all the members instantly scattered, scattered across the entire frame, facing away from the camera.
Only you and I are left here, as if time has stopped.
After Luhan and Kim Jun-myeon's parts ended, the high note entered the last chorus, also the last part of the MV.
"I Eu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-Reong you."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"I Eu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-Reong you."
All members began to disperse, the camera started to move continuously, rotating around the group from right to left. Under the neat and unified choreography, everyone's gaze naturally turned towards the lens.
The MV's length reached 3 minutes and 1 second. As the camera slowly rotated, Ji Eon-won, who had not appeared in the group dance before, suddenly broke into the shot at an extremely close distance. He gave a close-up shot directly at the camera, with a powerful punch gesture, a cool smirk on his face showing a hint of teeth, and made a 'roar' expression.
"Ahhh.... Oh my! Oh my!"
Screams came from countless homes, and countless viewers were stunned by Chi Jingyuan's ultra-close face-to-face part. That sudden sense of shock and amazement surged from the heart to the brain, flooding every corner of thought.
"... "
"
Pei Zhuhyun was startled by Ji Kyeong-won's intrusion into the shot, her expression blank. Then her eyes visibly lit up, even though Ji Kyeong-won wasn't the center position in the later group dance, she kept staring at Ji Kyeong-won's position on her phone screen until the MV ended.
Just then, she felt her heart skip a beat. It was as if something had struck it. That part of the scene kept replaying in her mind, and her body was still tingling.
It wasn't just Pei Zhuhyun; even Zhou Tzuyu, Lim Na-yeon, and even the dormitories of Girls' Generation and Apink were filled with cries of surprise at the same time.
"I Eu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-Reong you."
"I Eu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-Reong you."
“If we don’t back down, even if we get hurt, we won't care.”
At this point, the MV's duration reached its end. During the final repetition of the chorus, all members formed a circle with Kai in the center. After a synchronized dance, they struck the Endg pose. As two powerful drumbeats echoed, the screen went black, revealing the ** and EXO logos. The MV concluded.
“…………”
The phone had gone black, but Lim Nayoung and Yu Jeongyeon were still staring blankly, seemingly lost in what just happened and unable to come back.
After a few seconds, the two of them came to their senses and looked at each other with the same astonished and awed expression.
"This EXO is too handsome... The song is also good, and the dance is also good-looking. It's definitely going to be a big hit."
"Lin Na-yeon couldn't help but exclaim: 'Especially Yuan, why is she so beautiful in a school uniform! Those few shots are really... ahhh...'
At last, she buried her head in her legs and screamed with excitement, her heart pounding uncontrollably.
"Inside... I seem to understand Eunni a little bit now..." Yu Dingyan slowly nodded, biting his lower lip.
"Oh no.... I can't take it anymore, let me just look at it one more time, just one more time."
