he publicly released” Wu Shixun snorted unhappily, glanced around the surroundings, and leaned in to whisper, “Other people's debut pre-release videos basically only have one, at most two or three....This behind-the-scenes footage is really good. It doesn't use any exaggerated rendering, everything is just a true record of EXO's private preparation work for this comeback.
It's just that by using editing techniques, the members' hard work, efforts, and personalities are highlighted more deeply, further emphasizing their charms.
The entire behind-the-scenes collection has moments that will make you laugh out loud, glimpses of the members' hard work and perseverance despite exhaustion, scenes of them having fun and teasing each other, showcasing their strong team spirit in pursuing a common goal, and also the impressive collision of professionalism and talent during the production of "Roar".
As Ru Jiang Shiqi said, the behind-the-scenes footage collection for **'s "Roar" released this time has caused quite a stir, especially now that EXO's popularity is at its peak, it has sparked widespread discussion.
"I give this ** photoshoot behind-the-scenes project 100 thumbs up!! It's really amazing, it's the best behind-the-scenes I've ever seen."
"Is this a behind-the-scenes look This is clearly a variety show!"
“I expected them to be tired, but after watching the behind-the-scenes footage, I realized they were even more exhausted than I imagined. Seriously, seeing Yuan walk back to the dorm alone at 3 or 4 am after finishing a day of choreographing work, I couldn't hold back my tears.”
"Me too, I'm really touched. Sehun mentioned this on the radio before, I just sighed when I heard it at the time, but I couldn't help but feel emotional when I saw the video."
"Yes, and there's also the part where they were criticized. The members had to make time to practice even during 《Wolf》's comeback. Yuan is such a talented person that he could still make so many low-level mistakes, you can imagine how tired they must be."
"I can only say that EXO's current popularity is earned through their hard work. No one's success comes by chance. EXO has made it big, and may they always continue to prosper!"
“Originally, that hammer-strike choreography was also Yuan's idea. I watched so many XO performances, and this move impressed me the most. It's cool and very mesmerizing. Looking at behind-the-scenes footage, he probably anticipated it when he choreographed it, impressive!”
To be honest, I was amazed by the choreography footage and the one-take MV filming in the behind-the-scenes. After watching it, I can only say that Yuan is truly talented and charismatic. He's definitely a top member of the group, EXO with him is just a different level compared to without him.
"Yuan is my god!"
"This time EXO's behind-the-scenes footage is really great, even a sone like me can't help but come in and give it a thumbs up. I wasn't interested in boy groups at all before, but after watching this, I actually had the urge to stan… ** could have such good projects like this, don't just focus on rookies! Give us Girls' Generation's unnies a behind-the-scenes project of this caliber too!"
"Yeah, and us SHINee too, we also want to see the behind-the-scenes of our older brothers' comeback preparations. We can't just be biased towards EXO, right We don't need it to be as good as theirs, even if it's two out of three, I'd be satisfied."
"Did you notice Yuan's clothes at the end It's Pikachu! Suho mentioned before that Yuan likes anime for kids, and it turns out he likes Pokémon Wow, I didn't expect Yuan and I to have the same hobbies, this is truly double happiness!"
“It’s so interesting, Yuan looks so handsome and cool, yet he actually likes Pokémon anime. He even enjoys wearing these funny-looking casual clothes in private! The contrast is so strong, it's adorable.”
"…"
This behind-the-scenes footage is really well done. The original plan wasn't just to document the members' preparations for their comeback, but also to strengthen the bond with fans and give back to them.
But what ** didn't expect was that after its release, not only did it completely achieve the original goal, but it also directly brought EXO a large number of new fans. They were all attracted to the pit after watching the behind-the-scenes collection and were captivated by the charm of the EXO members behind the scenes. Half of them were drawn in because of Park Ji-young.
Overall, this project was a great success. Whether it was passersby or EXO fans, the majority gave very positive feedback.
Even a large portion of fans didn't treat this as behind-the-scenes content, but rather watched it as a group variety show.
Especially the behind-the-scenes footage of EXO's hard work for their comeback, with Ji Kyungwon choreographing until the early morning hours – these heartbreaking scenes now appear in stark contrast to EXO's current explosive popularity, making them all the more meaningful.
It is said that after seeing the results of this project, ** immediately launched a plan to film behind-the-scenes footage for all other groups under its label during their comebacks. Even other entertainment companies have followed suit.

After ending their promotions for "Growl" on Music Bank on September 7th, EXO has officially concluded their promotional activities. To this day, the chart performance of "Growl," which sparked a frenzy across the peninsula, has been finalized.
On August 25th, achieved a three-consecutive crown graduation on Inkigayo.
On September 3rd, Shoion achieved a three-consecutive-crown graduation.
On September 4th, *M! Countdown* achieved a three-crown graduation.
On September 7th, "Music Center" achieved a three-consecutive-win graduation.
While started on August 16th and until the week after EXO finished promoting, for five weeks in a row, "Growl" swept all the first place spots, achieving a five-week win streak.
That is to say, this time EXO's "Growl" won a total of 17 music show first places during its one-month promotional period, and among the three major TV stations, it achieved 11 first places.
Do you remember that they had just debuted over a year ago and didn't even have a single ranking, not even as a reserve member
During the era, something that was very difficult for EXO to achieve became a point of contention. For a while, because they couldn't get it, the team atmosphere became quite tense.
And now, in just one month, the trophies they've won are almost too heavy to carry. When receiving awards, they've gotten used to hearing their group name called out habitually. Kim Jun Myeon's acceptance speech has become almost numbed.
The changes in fortune are really unimaginable.
In this era where being a number one hit song artist can make you popular, 17 number one awards are an astonishing achievement that left everyone speechless. It is the highest number of number one songs achieved by any male group in history.
If you count all the artists, 17 number ones ranks third, second only to 19 number ones, S.E.S.'s "Show Me Your Love" released in 2000, and PSY's "Gangnam Style" last year which also achieved 19 number ones.
Regardless of how many hit songs EXO releases in the future, "Growl" will always be EXO's most classic and important song in the hearts of Chanyeol, the members, and all the Planeters. Its status will never be replaced.
This song represents their official rise from the depths to becoming the most popular boy band on the peninsula.
………………
Just speak the lines naturally when recording, and keep smiling.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Upon receiving instructions from the ad PD, Ji Jingyuan nodded in agreement.
Today is September 14th, EXO has been back from Malaysia for two days. At this time, they are in a photography studio in Gangnam, preparing for an advertisement shoot with Kim Taeyeon.
Several idle cameras were also set up nearby. This ad shoot would be recorded for the program "Late Night TV Entertainment," serving as a promotional segment.
This time, it's an advertisement for a cosmetics brand starring Taeyeon and EXO, but in reality, all 11 members of EXO are just supporting roles. Only Ji-sung has lines and has a bit of a rivalry with Taeyeon.
We just finished the photoshoot and some interviews. Now we are resting and getting ready for the next shoot. The members are doing their own things, waiting for it to officially begin.
"Senior Taeyeon, your outfit today looks really good."
When Kim Taeyeon was playing with her phone, Baekhyun walked over and gave a genuine compliment with a smile, his small eyes filled with obvious admiration.
“Pretty good, isn't it”
After hearing the pickup line, Taeyeon looked up, but didn't put down her phone. Her eyes flickered towards Baekhyun and she seemed happy to confirm it with a sentence.
"Inside, I feel this makeup look is especially suitable for senior Taeyeon."
Bian Bian nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and walked closer half a step, sincerely praising.
"Jingyuan!"
After hearing this, Taeyeon smiled and suddenly shouted towards Ji-sung who was a few meters away.
At this time, Chi Jingyuan was communicating with the staff about the filming arrangements for the upcoming scene. Hearing the shout, he looked over in confusion.
"What do you think of Nuna's outfit today The other members said it looks good."
Taeyeon flicked her hair and pouted with a smug expression.
“…………”
Seeing her like this, Chi Jingyuan's eyes twitched involuntarily.
Speaking frankly, Ji-yeong thinks Kim Tae-yeon's styling is pretty average. Maybe the stylist didn't put in much effort.
Suppressing the urge to complain, I forced a smile at Kim Taeyeon, gave her a thumbs-up, and quickly turned away to continue talking with the staff.
"Cut…"
Seeing Ji Chang Wook's gaze, Kim Taeyeon let out a soft hum, sliding her phone a few times before remembering there was someone else standing beside her. She smiled at Baekhyun: "You are...Baekhyun, right"
"Senior, I…"
"Let's start filming!"
Before Bian Berhyen could happily speak out, the staff loudly announced, signaling everyone to get ready.
"Come on, time to work, juniors, fight!"
Kim Taeyeon smiled at him and then got up to walk over there. kept, has undergone a huge change after bleaching. The silver-gray smoke-colored hair and fluffy disheveled design together highlight a strong fashion sense. Paired with Pool Jingyuan's features, he...
