• Let's analyze the EXODEUX Trailer (I'll point out clues and try to decipher them!)
We see the phases of the moon. In some way this represents how half side is bright and the other dark (that could mean that EXO has to endure the fight since both parts are their own):
Crudely we understand that they have to remain in a state of balance to be the legends but RF has somehow disturbed this balance.
The trailer was released on 8 Nov '19. What if X-EXO came alive on the blood moon (total lunar eclipse)? The phenomenon had been observed sometime in Nov 1909, 1928, 2022. A solar eclipse is shown and then we see destruction. I'm confident that EXO regain powers from this as seen in Power, What is Love. And since X-EXO are their halves or smth they get powers too.
Exo Planet #4 - The EℓyXiOn vcr shows us how the exos were being chased by some unknown beings who had the same powers as them. Kai opened the portal doors and rescued them just in time. Now we know these beings were X-EXO.
Okay so first they show us what is the result of X-EXO's actions. We find that from 0:11 some member's dna turns black (at first I thought it faded and crumbled) and then Kāi is shown — it could be a hint that it's him who is corrupted as he also fades.
Then appears THE TREE OF LIFE?!! And a fire which renders it dry 😦(the mv seems to be set on exoplanet). We can see how the eye of the RF coveted the heart of the tree as was prophesied in MAMA intro.
Since we see Chanyeol's power directly harming it, I'm convinced what I discussed about him here might be true... Next we see a sandstorm and then booming thunder (Respective x-exo members shown in reverse order then)
I'm sure u must have noticed all this but from 0:32, something very interesting happens: a red drop is shown to separate from a source of water and it shines as it ascends. Suhø's (abs gjjdjd) shot is briefly interrupted by Baëkhyun - hmm.
Even in the photobooks, they have pics next to each other. This could mean that they're together in on smth. (Notice Suhø's hand on his throat, I'll discuss about this later in this post)
In the EXplOration Dot vcr, we find Baëkhyun looking at a screen. I'm pretty sure he is monitoring the other members. This leads to another theory of a binary between him and Suhø.
Back to EXODEUX, exo's powers prove to be very destructive since they've fallen into wrong hands. At 0:56 we see them facing a red celestial ball very much like our sun but creepy. Is this the eye of the RF? Another possibility is that it could be one of the two suns created as shown in Power intro because the legends separated into M & K. Once again we see Suhø and Baëkhyun facing each other:
We get a closer look at their eyes and all seem to have blue eyes:
Hold it! Chën has one blue eye and one dark brown!!! (he has red and white lashes too)
The conclusion I make from these clues is that jongdae has learnt how to regain that balance we talked about. So my earlier assumption as discussed in part i might not be correct and it is Chen who has won the fight. At first Chën looks confident but slowly as the game progresses, it is Chen who becomes more confident - he put his feet on the table.
• Let's analyze the mv now. The first fight shown is of Baek and his evil counterpart in a match of fencing. We see that the audience is dark hooded figures with red eyes:
One thing I noticed is that when Baekhyun is shown alone, there are white lights turned on and the stands for the audience are empty. But when Baëkhyun is alone, the lights are off and some red lights glow overhead (cctv cams?).
Baëkhyun looked like he hurt himself in the fight (some people theorize he wears a face-chain to cover his wound):
I would safely assume that nobody won or lost the match. This is because both are seen facing each other even in the final shot of this set.
• Moving on to Sehun; he tries to aim arrows at his evil double Sehůn. We see how many times he has tried but missed his target. There is a similar blue target behind Sehun too:
In EXODEUX we look closely at the aesthetic of X-EXO's eyes and all of them have dark makeup or scars - all but Sehůn! His eyes are clean and pure from the influence of the RF.
In the teaser poster below, Sehůn (case 94) is the only one on whom the target is not locked!
He is never seen with his double and is trying to fake it and trick the RF!! While the other X-EXO mems look sinister/appear expressive, Sehůn seems unbothered.
He is the only member who has concept pics with a blue background. Furthermore, his nails are almost clean and not like the other X-EXO ppl.
Sehun is also the only Exo member to appear in the EXODEUX Trailer at the end. All of this is too much of a coincidence and I believe he already fought his counterpart, won and has come to save EXO as we see in his mv remake (2014):

• Now let's talk about Suho's scenes. Suho is looking around in an art gallery full of pictures based on water and waves. He is suspended mid-air in the place but a new shot shows it is much more deeper than that both literally and figuratively: he is trapped underwater and his evil counterpart is the one trying to drown him.
Suhø is standing in water with 7 unknown hands reaching out to him - this could be a biblical reference to the seven deadly sins. Since the album was released in 2019, this is a nod to my fav group's 7th anniversary. Come to think of it he has red hair styled as devil's horns (junmyeon looks so perfect oml):
A lot of us noticed that in the beginning, he is shown trying to control the members as if they are puppets (yeah well I've watched this mv in slow-mo many times)
At 1:55 we notice a choking Suhø (junmyeon confirmed this) - the imagery is very creepy. This is because if Suho drowns, his double would choke too.
Sehun shoots arrows at his evil counterpart and gets hurt himself.
The recurrent theme is that whichever side - the good or the evil one tries to harm the other, both suffer the same fate. Why? because they are halves of each other as we discussed in the beginning of this post.
Getting back to the mv, the planets start to align as this happens.
This is just like the narration in MAMA intro: ...The day the grounds beget a singe file before one sky...
The teaser posters have this "Warning" on them:
A messy world order
Anomalies due to twisted orbits
Moving on, we find out how the X-EXO are nothing but agents and creation of the RF. Notice how the screen inside Suhø's head is very similar to the ones in and outside Chen's room.
•I'd like to talk about the red glowing marks on some of X-EXO ppl. Only Sehun's and Chanyeol's evil doubles do not glow. This could be another clue that Sehůn is good. The other X-EXO mems are corrupted. Instead Yeøl appears in inverted and oversaturated colors looking demonic.
• Another thing I noticed at around 3:06 of mv Jongdae and Suho sing this for the first time:
"The turned-on exit light" instead of "The turned-off exit light" as in chorus.
The ending shows a burning planet (initially I thought it was Earth but then I noticed it looked a bit different). SM confirmed it is "half of" exo Planet. Additionally it has a deep red glow ofc hinting this is because of the RF. There is still hope for exo to recover and defeat their enemies.
Thanks for reading!🍒 I'll probably make some compilation post for these theories.
FUCK SM ENTERTAINMENT. TF DO YOU MEAN YOU SABOTAGED EXOS ALBUMS, DIDN'T PAY THEM, THEN REFUSED TO LET THEM LEAVE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T RELEASE ENOUGH ALBUMS?? ITS TIME TO START A BOYCOTT YALL.
When I was first listening song and Luhan sang, "If looks could kill,I'd be dead." I thought he was saying he was so hot that he should be dead because of his own looks.
Hi EXO-L Fans!!! I am finally selling majority of my EXO photocard collection I won't be selling my Kyungsoo, Baekhyun, or Kai photocards but the other members are up for grabs. I'm done collecting as I'm a mom now and don't have time or funds to continue collection all the members cards anymore. If anyone is interested I'll be posting a link to my ebay page!!! Almost all my cards have no defects and are in mint if not perfect condition. If they have defects I make sure to show proof. Thanks!!!!
The CBX thing, I definitely think SM was trying to blame them for delays with EXO. This whole tit-for-tat thing that they are doing tho has only seemed to work in CBX favor and I think SM knows this. CBX is making it clear that they not only don't intend to leave the group but also that they are participating in the comeback, and I don't think SM expected that. It will be obvious now that any missteps in this thing will showcase SM negligence more than CBX/EXO's resistance. I think that has SM siding more to come to a deal, which I think will end up benefiting the group more. SM clearly has used the group as a selling point when it comes to that buyout and stock prices mess, so their attempt at a smear campaign is kinda hurting them more. I have to say that I think SM wasn't expecting the group's loyalty and trust that not only do they have for each other, but also that they have with EXOLs.
Yeahhhhhh this whole thing was so unexpected to begin with, but what's funny is that it was NOT unprecedented. Even in just Exo, SM has already had three lawsuits! It's been a long time but I remember, I was there, so my initial reaction was just to *assume* "alright, Exo's fuckin over and done with." Like why wouldn't they be??
But also if CBX wanna stay in the group, which is not something we've ever seen after a high-profile lawsuit with this company... I think, well, good for them??? They're grown men who have been around long enough to know what they're doing and what they want. They're veterans in the game at this point. I had that much faith in them when I saw they were filing for contract termination and that faith remains, even if I don't understand their choices... it's not really something I can "understand" anyway because none of us fans really knows what goes on behind the scenes.
Yeah no the amount of loyalty that they've shown to their group is just another big shocking change that I don't know how to process, even though as I said I still support them. Because if Exo were just over now due to SM's shifty behavior, that would be entirely believable. But both the group and the legal debacle are ongoing so I'm just gonna... sit tight and eat my popcorn, for now.
