An M/V Review: Miracles In December, By EXO-12

Greetings to you.

Ugh!!!  Christmas season.  I am not a fan of it.  New York City is at it's most crowded...and what is worse...CHRISTMAS CAROLS NON-STOP!!!  Sorry for sounding like a Scrooge...but I do not celebrate the holiday (yet I do respect those who do...).  I just can't stand Christmas songs...

EXO...12 very talented and very handsome young men...6 representing Korea...the other 6 represents China...working together to conquer the world through music...

Nice intro, huh?

Anyway, they have come out with a new video...a holiday video.  I decided for the love of Kpop, I would take a look/listen to "Miracles In December...

Why don't you join me...

Korean Version...

Let me start with the Korean Version...

Ok...in the Korean Version the singers wer D.O, Baekhyun and Chen.  I was looking forward to Baekhyun singing...I love his voice.  I expected D.O angelic singing on this.  Now Chen is my EXO-M bias because of his beautiful singing voice.  When he started singing, my eyes started watering up.  I felt the song from that point on...not that I wasn't feeling it before Chen started singing...to me he set the emotion of the song.  Everyone looked as handsome as ever...especially Tao...the hair is working for him.  Kris and Kai goes without saying (I can only recognize a few of the members...I will have to watch it again).  I appreciated that a couple of members used their super powers (Xuimin making it snow and Tao turning back time just a bit).  To me the concept of the song and video is that the guys all had a christmas present and romantic notions for a girl who never showed up to receive it (Kpop boy groups have no such luck in love).  I like the "Fortress of Solitude" backdrop.

Now, let's see the Chinese Version...

Chinese Version

Ok...in the Chinese Version the singers were Baekhyun, Chen and Luhan.  Oh sweet Luhan...I was hoping to hear your voice in this version...I did expect Chen in this version.  I did not, however, expect to see Baekhyun to sing the Chinese version.  That was a nice surprise.  Luhan is my second bias of EXO-M...because of his sweet voice and beautiful eyes.  The only difference in this version is the singing lineup.  The video was the same so there is no need for me to describe it here.

All in all...this was a beautifully emotional song.  A beautifully constructed video which brings out EXO's charm.  I would not expect anything less from these fine young men.  Alway a fan...an EXOtic.

Until next time...

Music is supposed to soothe the soul...so let it!!!
