E.X.O's comeback trailer for 2015
Hey guys, it's Bri!
So, as many of you know, E.X.O's comeback trailer has been put back up on youtube after the plagiarism problem. If you have not seen the comeback trailer here it it.
Now, if you saw the last bit of the trailer it shows the maze with 10 marbles outside of it, which indicate the ten members of E.X.O, BUT, if you look closely you can see that two marbles are still inside the maze, representing the two members that have left E.X.O.
It took me only a second to see the first marble still in it but I didn't realize it and had to go back a couple of times to find the second one. I am guessing that SM is using it as a way of representing that ten of the E.X.O members have found their way and prevaled getting through the hard ships or "The Maze" and then saying that the two marbles (which must represent Kris and Luhan who had left in 2014) that have lost their way and did not make it through. Although, most of you might say I am wrong just remember that this is just my opinion. At first I did not understand why they chose a maze as their comeback symbol for Overdose or Addiction (which many korean music programs or even roomate have translated it to.) Many interviewers did ask why they chose the maze and everytime Chanyeol said he was just messing with the letters and it turned into a maze and that you are so in love with E.X.O that you will not be able to escape. Now, in this picture it shows that ten did escape and two did not which if the real meaning they said this maze represented was correct, then wouldn't it be showing that only two are still so in love with E.X.O that they could not excape? Honestly, I think it is all a big lie. I think Chanyeol was actually trying to make the maze represent the hardships that they had/were facing during the end of 2013 and the begining of 2014. For all we know, they all already knew about Kris and Luhan thinking of termination of their contracts but did not take it seriously until it happen which as we all saw was a big deal for everyone even the fans. (Remember I am an E.X.O-L as well and this is just my opinion.) If you remember (which you should) each member of E.X.O (12) was stuck in the maze together but now, ten have escaped and two have not (which I mentioned before). I think this is a way of showing that two members of E.X.O could not get past the hardships that they were facing which did not get them out of the maze with the others. In my opinion as well it could also be a way of SM trying to make Luhan and Kris feel weak because some asian's view not being able to overcome hardships and taking the easy way out a sign of weakness.The funny (not really just being sarcastic) thing about this is that one marble is closer to the middle and the other is trapped by walls with no way of getting either to the middle nor to the exit. Which one is representing Luhan and one is representing Kris? Is the one closer to the middle Kris becauses he is still having to come up with an argreement and the one rapped by walls Luhan because he cannot let go of hi.O-L fans or Is Luhan the one closer to the middle because he is more free than Kris because Kris is being trapped by SM who is not making the agreement? Good question right?
But, I will stop going on about what I noticed and go back to the fact I am so excited about their comback. If you know me well enough and are one of my readers or fans you know how much I love Xiumin and that they are talking about making Xiumin E.X.O-M's new leader but, recent rumors going around are saying Tao is thinking about leaving as well...which would end up making no point in having E.X.O-M if it only has half the members it started out with unless they plan on doing the same thing they did with TVXQ. Anyway, I wonder what the song is going to be like. I mean, we have heard Overdose/Addiction without Kris in it but not Luhan but originaly and still on youtube the song had/has them in it so this time...there will be no trace. I am seriously so mindblow with the fact it might sound completely different but I think I would be way more mineblown if it didn't! Let's just say I feel like even though 2014 was a really bad year for Kpop, this year will be more interesting.
Comment what you think guys! How do you feel about the new maze? What do you think about Xiumin becoming the leader of E.X.O-M and do you think someone will be better? How do you feel about the Tao rumor? Do you think you will be more mindblown if E.X.O sounded completely different or if they sounded the same? Oh, and what are you most excited for in 2015?
Thank you for reading!
