EXO The Strongest Group - Part 1
Added 2024-12-18 20:00:09 +0000 UTC
EXO takes the stage on the Chinese variety show 'The Strongest Group,' bringing their trademark charm, humour, and superpowers to the forefront. The 11 members are hilariously introduced through their 'superpowers': Baekhyun's Light Power earns some laughs for its simplicity, Kai's Teleportation is met with playful scepticism, Tao's Time Control is interrupted by a thirsty host, and Chen's Lightning sparks comparisons to Star Wars villains.
The first challenge sees the group trying to guess which of their music videos have the most views in China. Despite the chaos and light-hearted banter, EXO showcases surprising accuracy with their guesses, though a few curveballs keep things interesting.
It's a hilarious and endearing start to what promises to be an unforgettable show!

Oh god the og maknae line was chaotic, Sehun, kai and Tao being menaces to their hyungs was so funny to watch! Also Luhan is younger than Xiumin by a month, so Xiumin was always the big brother in Exo. Luhan is also a weird one but not so much compared to the other members lmao that's why he appeared as the more calm for you. Maybe they were awkward here but they show their real selves in Showtime although it's understandable if you don't want to react to it, I respect that, even I can't watch it without feeling uneasy and that makes me sad because Showtime was so much fun :c

So, Xiumin is actually still the oldest; he's older than Luhan by like a month. Tho, Luhan had this thing where he really wanted Xiumin to call him "ge" (which is like "hyung") He tell Xiumin to call him "ge" or "Lu-ge" and he'd buy him something. This happened in Showtime, when Luhan was going to buy some coffee, and it was so funny to watch cause Luhan zeroed in on Xiumin; he even completely disregarded Chen was calling him "ge"~ Don't worry, Luhan still bought for Chen, too^.^ He just wanted to hear it specifically from Xiumin~ (Sidenote: I do have a vague recollection of Luhan calling Suho "hyung/ge", tho, a few times! This was likely out of respect to Suho's position and time in the industry~~~)

A lot of people mention that Suho is Tao's "mother", but Luhan was always the one that could actually rein Tao in; you saw his face when Luhan went to pull him to the side~ The Suho being Tao's mother was more that Tao would go to Suho to complain or ask for things^.^

Sehun and Tao were super close right out the gate of being in exo and definitely were partners in crime, being the menacing maknaes together. It was so much fun to see! Tao was particularly close to the maknae line in Sehun and Kai but also very close with Baekhyun aside from the other exo-m members of course.
Till this day, I wonder what it would have been like if Tao could have remained with exo but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Tao leaving the group was a particularly hard blow on the members and they were all very heartbroken over it, especially with the circumstances surrounding his departure with regards to his health. But it was also the best decision for him, for his life and career moving forward and especially for his health. Just very sad that he had to go through any of that at all.
Thank you both so much for all your exo content!! I am always so surprised at the kinds of throw-back content you guys are game for watching even when they're super old or a little obscure. Love it so much!! ><

I remember when you were still new to Exo, Simon commented about how strange it was to have Korean and Chinese versions of songs. But I think this was the most genius move that SM has ever done for them. People forget that the population of China alone is much bigger than USA and Europe combined, and there are many other countries in Asia that have Chinese as a national language. Because of their aggressive promotion and early success in China, and releasing Chinese versions of their songs even in albums without the participation of Chinese members (is Obsession the last title track that had a Chinese version?), Exo maintains a massive stronghold in China and Asia until today. Despite not physically promoting there in recent years, Exo songs still go number 1 on Chinese platforms like Kugou/ QQ music… fyi just one Chinese app has more users than all Spotify users worldwide combined… you do the math… even The First Snow still charts there during winter… and to this day Chinese fans still buy massive amount of physical albums whenever Exo releases anything…And remember the stupidly short promo period for Exist in 2023? Chinese fans sent protest trucks and banners all around SM in Seoul, demanding that Exo do some promotional activity in China because Chinese fans bought the most amount of physical albums as usual, hahaha. Within days SM announced an offline fansign in China with all the members… that is the power of Chinese fans. Also to this day Chanyeol is one of the most followed kpop artists on Chinese platforms, also Sehun has a crazy loyal rich fanbase there.. any Chinese magazine cover Sehun does always breaks the record of most copies sold

The chinese variety shows were sooo fun. A shame that kpop idols can no longer promote in china :( their show always had such fun games and EXO always let loose there. I wish you could watch their others but they include you know who.
Also, Luhan wasnt the oldest. His birth is April, Xiumin is March. Both 1990.

I'm still unsure how Suho survived the Tao, Sehun and Kai combo they were menaces especially Tao and Sehun (real brats). I loved Tao's and Suhos releationship it was just so beautiful. And Luhan he is "normal" but also not he is inbetween that line but he is a sweet heart.
