If you’ve been following this blog then you know I’ve been covering the teasers front EXO’s fourth album, The War. Today though, I was a bit shaken. Due to work I couldn’t watch the teaser until 11:47 am. I check my YouTube subscriptions only to not see an EXO teaser. Okaaay, so I go to the official SMTOWN YouTube channel and check there. Nothing. At this point I’m confused. Is there no teaser today? About 15 minutes later I check my YouTube subscriptions and see the teaser waiting for me. SM has officially put my excited nerves at ease for a bit by releasing Xiumin’s teaser.

Xiumin is a member with distinct features that leave an impression. From his catlike eyes, to him being the only member with mono lids he’s definitely not a face you can forget amongst the members.  Not to mention he started that whole phase of EXO getting fit and ripped with his impressive arm muscles and killer abs. Physical features aside Xiumin looks 100% great. The clothes he wore didn’t have multiple bright colors, but instead focused on a single color with a few accent colors in the outfit. This coupled with his slick back to basics black hair worked beautifully. Sometimes having simple black hair is the way to go, it allows a person to stand out naturally when surrounded by high pigment colors.  Then again that gaze Xiumin gives at the end of the teaser was enough to make him stand out without help from anything else.

The music, the music, the music! It’s a Xiumin teaser, but D.O’s vocals can be heard. Yet again D.O perfectly delivers, leaving me with no complaints. As the song shifts listeners are greeted with a new, very easily recognize voice. It’s a voice belonging to non other than Chen. Despite the teaser being only 25 second and most of the singing being done by Xiumin we were still able to hear one of Chen’s honey high notes.  Expectations for the music have just went up again, I really hope I’m not disappointed once the album drops.

With just two members left, DO and Chen, you don’t have to rack your brain thinking who’s next. Since Chen’s voice was heard last in today’s teaser I think his will be tomorrow, leaving DO as the last member. Alright, six down and two more teasers to go before The War is released. All of the teasers have peaked my interest in some way, so let’s see what tricks SM has left to pull.
