EXO's superwower concept was hated by many when they debuted. Nevertheless, no one can argue that it was a one controversial debut concept. It created a stir and debates among Kpop enthusiasts. It's either you love it or hate it. I guess the idea was exactly that - to create an impact, to leave a deep first impression, to leave one to wonder and ask themselves, to made them question if they actually liked it or not. The goal was to capture everyone's attention - whether in awe or utter disgust it didn't really matter. No one can deny EXO's concept was fresh and way ahead of it's time. A decade later it has proven to be one of the best if not the best Kpop group concept ever presented.
The EXO-L fandom knew and little outside our fandom knew that the whole concept was not only a cringe, attention grabbing and ridiculous concept but a magnificent, well thought, carefully laden and masterful story line which connects to a bigger picture of SMEnt.
A company wide storyline which no one in Kpop has ever done before. A bold, futuristic and fabulous concept.
Personally, after trying to understand and unsuccessfully decipher every theories decided to instead understand how EXO's superpowers were chosen. There must be a reason. Of course there is. Whatever the real reason was, I think it has to do with their personalities and positions in the group.
In this regard, I tried to break down the reasons why I think their personalities match their "superpower".
I hope you enjoy and don't hesitate to leave comments and share what you think.😊
