Recently, EXO had their comeback for the fifth special album with 5 new tracks. It has been a long wait for EXO-L (EXO fandom name) as some of the EXO members are serving for their military service, so it’s been a huge ‘gift’ for the fan to receive this kind of surprise!
What make ‘EXO as THE KING’?
As currently 4 EXO members are serving in military, without proper promotion in full team, EXO proved that they are the ‘LEGEND’ in the K-pop industry by breaking their record with the highest album pre-order.
EXO Arcade Season 2 is here!
Before the comeback, EXO also announced that they will make appearance in the show, <EXO Arcade Season 2> with 6 episodes. How lucky is our EXO-L! EXO is always finding opportunities to meet with their fans!
The new MV <Don’t Fight the Feeling> was just released!
The MV became the fastest SM Entertainment MV to hit 10 million view on YouTube within 7 hours! What more surprising is that another member, Lay that thought to be hiatus from EXO promotion for few years (due to Korea-China conflict) also made an appearance in the MV and participate in all the songs of the track list. What a surprise? *me literally crying*
If you still didn’t watch the music video, it gonna be a new experience for you.
And in the middle of this pandemic, I really hope this music gonna be a healing song for you. Well said “Don’t Fight The Feeling”.
We Are One! EXO! Saranghaja!

What a day to start week with the news that Baekhyun has been one of the Double Million Seller for his 3rd Mini Album, Bambi.
It’s not easy for a solo artist to achieve this much and that proves how popular he is!
HEADLINES: ‘EXO Baekhyun Achieves Double Miillion Seller title…One Top Soloist!’
Fun Fact!: As of 18th April 2021, ‘Bambi’ recorded a total of 1.068 million copies sold and achieves 1 million sales in 20 days since the album release (So-called Double Million!!). The power he got while putting the name of EXO and the Baekhyun himself!
Translation; To Lovely Reporters, ‘The Precious King’, ‘All Top Soloist’..eyyyy ~~ I am not~ eyy …really.. it’s not like that! Eyyyyyy ~~~ I’m really embarrassed *heart emoticon*! Aigoo why the emoticon suddenly like this … ㅋㅋㅋㅋ whatever it is, I’m relief that Eri’s happy
(p/s; Eri is the name that Baekhyun called to the fan, how sweet our Baekhyun is, right?)
But the thing that fan really happy is that he always thanks his EXO-L despite of the fancy titles and awards. That’s what make him really humble gentleman. He always makes sure fans know it first! Fans already know he is a ‘King of Spoiler’ in the group, making sure they stan for the right person and the right group!
Along with this news as well, we already know that he is going to be enlisted in military soon during his 29th Birthday which will fall on May 6th!
Despite of his fun and bright character, EXO-L are worried that he will be joining as a public service worker same like his member Suho, making him as the second member of EXO to get longer period of service up to 2 years!
(p/s; For idol who have health problem usually, they will need to serve as Public Service Worker and that is prove that Baekhyun is not in a good condition even we can see him laugh and everything.)
We hope Baekhyun will get well soon and please know that all EXO-L will be waiting for you! So, to all the EXO-L out there, keep streaming the Bambi song and make him proud of you.

Are you guys ready for our exclusive pick of K-pop songs specially selected by our team in the month of March?
Check out below the latest songs that we picked just for you that you must put them in your playlist!
Bambi | Baekhyun (EXO)
“Bambi represented the transition between a boy and a young man. It’s a 180-degree shift from the vibe of ‘Candy’. There are a lot of different emotional expressions in the music video. I thought a lot about how to express sexiness without putting too much effort. It’s not made plain, but I hope you can feel the maturity of ‘Baekhyun’ at 30 years old.”
Described as a love letter to her 20s, the record is a farewell to the singer’s defining decade. But instead of sappy songs waxing nostalgic over her salad days, IU (who turns 29 in ‘Korean age’ this year) sends off her young adult self with a bang.
“Basically the song is kind of about looking for answers in life, for a purpose in life, and I feel like people, especially these days, can relate to it. Sometimes when you’re always kind of on that roll, you kind of forget to take care of what actually matters to you most, and it’s just a song that says that everything we need is already within us. There’s no need to go out and look for it.”
Accompanied by a catchy riff, Rain opens the track that leads up to an addictive chorus: “Why don’t we,” he repeatedly sings as he delivers dance moves to the bouncy beats. CHUNG HA then joins with her signature vocals. Together, the duo performs a choreography sequence that was initially teased via Rain’s YouTube channel Season B Season.
너와 다르다고 틀린 건 아냐 (it’s not a crime to be different)
판단하지 마 인생 모르잖아 (don’t judge because it’s about life)

House Party | Super Junior
“House Party” is a disco pop song with a bright rhythm and catchy guitar riff. The lyrics provide encouragement for staying home and gaining strength through the pandemic.
“The storyline of ‘Leave Me Loving You’ music video, it’s another love story. I’m playing a role of a dishwasher in the restaurant and I fell in love with the girl since the day she came in,”
Have you check out a new release from one of South Korean talented vocalist, EXO’s Baekhyun? This second comeback comes with a title track #Candy which yea melts everyone’s heart with his sweet voice (ofc), like a candy. So for this part, we will learn Korean from some part of the lyrics!
Just like our previous article Korean from Kdrama, this article would be the same! You will learn new words and vocab from the song lyrics. Exciting isn’t it? Are you ready to jump into Baekhyun’s candy world? Kaja!
Wait a minute!
First I will introduce the basic words related with songs:
노래 (No-rae) = Song

아직도 (ajik-do) = still
고민해 (go-min-hae) = worrying, having concern on something
Honey 아직도고민해? = Honey, are you stillworried?
2. 그래 넌 조심스럽게
그래 (geu-rae) = yes, okay
넌 (neon) = you are
넌 is a simplified word for 너는
조심스럽게 (josim-seu-reob-kei) = careful, being careful

어른스러운 (eo-reun-seu-reo-woon) = mature
The root word is 어른스럽다 (eo-reun-seu-reob-ta) which means to be mature. Since it is used as adjective for the noun (Cinnamon), it is changed into 어른스러운
시나몬 (si-na-mon) = cinnamon
좀 (jom) = some, a little bit
웃기는 (ut-ki-nun) = funny, dorky
The root word is 웃기다 which means to make/get something to laugh, it is changed to 웃기는 since it is followed by a noun (Mint) so it becomes an adjective that describe it (N).

어른스러운 시나몬, 좀 웃기는 민트 matured cinnamon, some funny mint
( describing the flavors of the candy @ him 😂🍬)
5. 뭐가 널 웃게 하니?

as usual 가 is the subject marker for 뭐 so it becomes what does or what is
널 (neol) = you
the simplified word for 너를, ‘you’ as the object since it is using 를 as a particle.
웃게 (ut-kei) = smile
하니 (ha-ni) = make, do
뭐가 널 웃게 하니? what makes you smile?
6. 그게 나였으면 해
그게 (keu-gei) = that, it
나 (na) = me
였으면 해 (na-yeo-sseu-myeon) = wish that was (to express a desire)
-으면 is a grammar expression for ‘if it (is)’, -였으면 is used since it is in past tense, so it becomes ”-if it was”.
였으면 해 is followed by 해 so it becomes another meaning which is ‘I wish’.
그게 나였으면 해 means I wish it was me
7. 받아줄래? invitation
받아 (ba-da) = accept
comes from the word 받다 which means ‘to accept’.
줄래 (jul-lae) = will (you)
주다 + -(으)ㄹ래요
주다 is to give
-(으)ㄹ래요 used to express willingness or intent to do something.
받아줄래? = Will you accept?
받아줄래? invitation >>> Will you accept my invitation?

뭘 (mwol) = what
뭐 + 를, ‘what’ as an object
더 (deo) = more
원해 (weon-hae) = want
