EXO | XOXO ALBUM REPACKAGE

my favorite fun fact is that EXO themselves didn't like the Wolf SO MUCH, that they intentionally sang it "awful" in demo, so SM won't include it in the album. you can actually find the record in the internet it's hilarious

Don't Go will always and forever will be my favorite Kpop song. As a granny Exo L, I fell inlove with it the first time I've heard it then later on, EXO performs it at the end of every concert, along with Angel. They dedicate this to EXO Ls. I love them so much! Also, Peter Pan is the cutest song with the saddest lyrics. It always makes me so emotional.

You need to watch HeartAttack VCR in Japan! It´s so good, and you can hear all of them sing including Xiumin, Chen and Lay

I’ve subscribed recently to enjoy your exo reaction more. I really like and appreciate it. Thank you so much. My top 3 are “Don’t go” (it was written by Luhan🫶🏼), “Baby don’t cry” and “XoXo”. Good luck ❤️

I love it when people react to Wolf's lyrics. Yea it is like that, it's a cringefest hshshsh. Baekhyun talked about the lyrics in his interview with MMTG. Do watch if you have the time, Jaejae (MMTG MC) is funny and I love her interviews. Even with groups that I don't really stan. The album is kinda like a fairytale-ish, Wolf with Beauty and The Beast, Baby Don't Cry with The Little Mermaid and Peter Pan which is self explanatory. I LOVE Baby Don't Cry, even now I get goosebumps hearing it like. Heart Attack and Let Out The Beast is fun to sing along to. Thank you for the reactions, Caitlyn!

I just watch it. I recommend to listen also to exo m. They sang differently but with the same emotions. It will be a breath of fresh air for sure. Somewhat u will be able to hear the ex exo m and will know the almost every exo l first love luhan (KEKW)

Hanz Valdez

I love that you reacted to this song! Unfortunately the color coded was wrong. It didn’t include Lay, or Tao.

You listened to EXO's first and second albums. I hope you watch exo planet 1 and you will love it

fatima

Omg thank you so much for this I had a great morning jamming to this album with you! I’m an old exol so I just love how these songs bring me back to middle school so hard. Plus ofc I just think a lot of the songs in this albums still hold up for sure. I have a funny story for Baby tho. For a time I was saying I didn’t like Baby, it was like the only song by exo that I just hated. But it was all just me being petty and clearly a teenager because the story is that back when this came out I was..14? I think? And I had no money or phone or anything to just buy songs on iTunes, much less buy the CD to be shipped to my little island (remember the times when that was all you could do legally?) so I used like sketchy pages on my computer to download songs to my iPod or whatever it was (SM if you watch this: I’m about to turn 24 in a few days and I now stream legally, pls don’t take legal action 😂 I was a child). Thing is the site never downloaded Baby! I don’t know why and I didn’t even notice until maybe 2 years later that I found the song on YouTube and checked out what album it was from. AND I WAS SO DAMN PETTY I swear I’m so embarrassing, I just got mad that I never heard this (frankly amazing) song and decided oh well i just don’t like it, that’s why don’t have it. I have no idea what was my point at all and it didn’t last long, clearly, but it’s hilarious to look back and every time I hear the song now I just wonder what the hell was up with me, like it was just a mistake! Hahaha maybe cause I was young and being a fan then meant you just had to support and know everything or you weren’t legit? Some immature stuff for sure, ah but it’s a good laugh.

Thank you for your reaction! I enjoyed watching it. Thank you for always posting good videos. Did you know that haechan sang 365 at the audition? I remembered while watching the video. https://twitter.com/h0elymulti/status/1373994861620174851?s=46&t=qWLFU_ZFBEDPg1GVb0hcxw

Ps a fun fact is that baby don't cry is inspired by the original tale of the little mermaid where she turns into foam in the end!

Patricia

As an EXO-L from 2012 it made me sooo happy to see you dive into their older discography! To explain the 'Original', Chinese and Korean versions: The wolf/ growl era marked the first time they united as one WHOLE group - up until this point you only saw EXO-M members doing Chinese songs and EXO-K for Korean songs with no overlap in members across units. The MVs for growl and wolf encapsulate all members, which is why tracks on the album with K or M ver just means it's only that unit that does that particular version. This happens during overdose too - the Korean version starts with the Korean members before Chinese members come in at the second verse (the opposite in the Chinese ver where the Chinese members go first)! Hope that makes sense! Again, as a hag-exol it honestly just gives me so much joy to know that people are still discovering hidden gems in their discography and falling more in love with their music. Thank you for this treat Caitlin! And to you and everyone who read this (if there are any LOL) have a wonderful day!

Patricia

Naurrr coz XOXO stage was really THAT fun!

Rodeo Princess

Thank you caitlin🥺🥺🥺

I've been stanning EXO since this iconic album, one of my favorite albums from them. Thank you Caitlin for reacting to this. It was whole lot of fun. Watching this couldn't help but to reminisce the days I put this album on repeat.

Siti Su'aidah

Honestly, Wolf is my least favorite song xD I will bop to it if it comes on but definitely not something I will play on my own. And you're right; the lyrics are pretty intense haha This album is crazy notalgic for me. I was still a baby EXO-L(and kpop fan in general) when it was released, and I still go nuts every time My Lady or Black Pearl plays lmao. Baby Don' Cry was my Favorite song for suuuuuuuch a long time, pretty sure I can sing it in Korean I've played it so many times. Thank you for this reaction!!! It was so much fun!

Megan Gleason

Listening to Heart Attack just reminds me of one of their concert VCRs with the appearance of pre-debut NCT Dream. If you ever have a few minutes to watch it, it is such a huge serotonin booster!

Gigi Lai

Iconic indeed. It was the first album to make me fall hard...at the time I was sold as soon as I heard "Growl" and then the mv took me out!! I was gonna conclude that Exo may be too poppy for my taste, but the vocals slayed me...FELL IN LOVE. Also at the time I had discovered Bts with their first album "2 Kool 4 Skool", which I bought along with "XOXO", and I was so infatuated with that Bts album it floored me as well! I could not get enough of their "No More Dream" and "Bulletproof" mvs, I was insane about this new group! I needed more! But the two extremes, one group giving love vocals and the other slapping me in the face...I became a huge multi fan of both! Different sounds and styles, that's what a music lover loves about music. It's beautiful! 💙🌺

This reminded me of the time when I thought “EXO will be my forever ult group” and here I am 10 years later, still an EXO-L. Thank you Caitlin! 💖💖💖

Michelle Villaruel

Thank you soo much for listening to this album!! I rewatch your other album reactions all the time and have been missing this. So excited to see more of your journey through EXO's discography. Spoiler alert: it is legendary and one of the best.

Sharen

Yay! thank you for this album reaction Caitlin. Don't go is actually also my favorite song in this album it's always on repeat for me.hope you have a wonderful day 😊😊😊

Rhein Dela Cruz

Thank you!

pen

I'm so happy you got to this album! It's such an iconic album. It's been almost 9 years since i stanned EXO and still songs from this album are my all-time favorites. Especially Don't go, still my favorite EXO song! I'm so glad you enjoyed this album as much as you did and you managed to retrieve the file 😁 Thank you so much!

Ana

Thank you Caitlin 🥰🥰🥰

Katie 80

Caitlinnnnnn!!! It is sooooo much fun listening again to these songs and revisiting back the lyrics and having fun with you! Love this so much, thank youuuuuuu <3 <3 <3 Take care Caitlin and see you on the next reaction (>_<)

Nurul Izzah Abdul Rahim

XOXO is honestly so iconic, for the first full length/repackaged album of a rookie group, they do not miss a single thing. It’s what made me an exo-l and 10 years later, I still listen to this album on a regular basis

Jai

Such a fun ride with you Caitlin! XOXO is such a classic and iconic exo album! I've already listenes to this album but this is actually my first time listening to the songs with lyrics (i'm just a new fan of exo). It's like i'm going on an exo journey with you again hahaha. Thank you again for reacting to exo caitlin. We appreciate it so much! ♥️

Athena

Finally!!! XOXO album! <3

Rodeo Princess

thank you so much for this reaction 🥹🫶🏻

Just finished watching your whole reaction and there's tears in my eyes fr 😢 EXO was my childhood. I grew up listening to their songs and hearing it again now it made me so emotional (this album especially, it brought back so many memories). I love them so much! They saved me in every possible way. They're my comfort zone 🥺❤ (Sorry for commenting a lot. Just want to share my feelings). - I really really enjoyed watching this with you ❤

eve_ss

Super fun and enjoyable!!

Weng M

Thank you for reacting to this album! Oh there's a video for Heart Attack! Actually 2 videos, or more accurately concert VCRs. It is hands down my fave Exo song and vid. Many of these older songs were performed during their first and second concert tours and they really sound a lot better live.

Kokobop

Thank you for reacting to this! I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the songs were kind of based off of fairytales 🥲 baby don't cry is from the little mermaid, i believe. Black pearl is comparing the girl to atlantis, and ofc peter pan where they're peter pan (who doesn't age) waiting for us (wendy) in neverland 🥲

KK Kathy

omg i haven’t heard some of these songs in so long and i loved revisiting them with you!💗 thank god the footage was saved hahaha

Ami

If you didn't recognise Kai from the Baby Don't Cry video is because that short clip is from one of their 23 pre-debut teasers. Baby Don't Cry isn't their only pre-debut track that was released at a later date; Let Out The Beast, My Lady, Beautiful and El Dorado are some of the others. There is also some songs featured in the teasers that have never been released yet, although the one titled "Machine" (not to be confused with the EXO song Machine) was later remixed and used as the track for Xiumin's dance solo (titled Breakin' Machine) in EXO Planet 1: The Lost Planet concert

Druki

I became an EXO fan because of this album, that was 9 years ago but watching you react to this legendary album feels like iam hearing these songs for the first time. (The feels is still there even after 9 yrs 🥰) I really enjoy every second of this video. Can't wait to listen more EXO songs with you caitlin.

An Tuazon

36:30 That was from their pre-debut teaser clips. Before they officially debut, they released series of short clips introducing the members. (so they actually already spoiled some of their songs during their pre-debut e.g Baby Don't Cry) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL258D0DDFE9F1A4A8 You may watch this on your own whenever you have time ☺

eve_ss

Thanks Caitlin for reminding just how good of an album this is. I'm gonna listen to it again after watching your reaction.

shimoni sinha

Aaaaa thanksss caitlin, you must watch don't go live stages on concert encore it's so asdhsjfhdjsf

Marky

Thank you so much for this reaction!! Really really appreciate it ❤ So much nostalgic feels! I loooove this album so much! PETER PAN is my all time favorite EXO song! 🙌🏻 Btw, they also made a 2-part mini series mv for Wolf/Growl. It might help you better understand the lyrics of the song (and atleast make it less cheesy 😂)

eve_ss

So happy that you were able to find the backup file. I always love your EXO reactions! So happy that you are getting more into EXO discography since they have such good music

Bob

Growl is the unofficial National Anthem of South Korea. Kai was doing the show Honeymoon Inn last year and it came on the radio. He danced it for the guests and it was classic.
