EXO Theory Dftf (don't fight the feeling)

In this post I will try to point out and decode clues. I made some conclusions to arrange the eras in order. Let's start by analyzing the main theme.

• EXO was travelling to Exoplanet as seen in the dftf teaser pictures.

The word HISTORY is shown in several languages in the starting. The setting is similar to what we see in History mvs:

Exo evacuate EXOPLANET with the help of a spaceship. I believe that History, chronologically, happens before Dftf.

Here is Exo's Kcon Australia 2017 vcr which depicts their spacecraft was going to crash land.

The bright Exo logo at the end might be a symbolic representation of exoplanet. The spacecraft crash lands on one of the other extra terrestrial planets on which Power takes place. Notice how the exos don't have their powers in dftf which they acquire in the form of orbs in Power mv. Hence, Power happens after Dftf.

Now I'll talk about two main theories which lead to different conclusions for this section of the storyline:–

#1 The Emergency landing promo pics show them on different planets each representing the 6 members' (no Yixing🥲) powers. The album logo shows a radar locating the 9 members. It is also present in the vcr above. As part of their promotions, they released a game called EXO Ship Saga in which each mem has a different planet. The theme seems pretty straightforward: they travelled to different planets, maybe used escape-pods because they were going to crash land in the vcr above.

This theory might be able to explain the story of parallel universes as well as the ending of Power with Baek falling in an ocean.

#2 After reaching the planet shown in Power, they were scattered to different cities on Earth (Pathcodes) as comets seen in the beginning of Dftf. As of now, many of us are confused which of these happen in the chronology (they land in cities or on planets). They must have tried to evacuate it since the Red Force has come to know they are all together and have acquired their orbs. Let's go with the second theory: I believe Pathcode comes after Power.

Why? Proof: in Tao's pathcode, he was reading a newspaper and it said that 10 comets were visible near earth (ot10 era) hence they landed in different locations in Pathcodes.

The comet Kyungsoo saw in Dftf mv could be the one appearing in Let me In and explains their isolation in Sing For You.

At the end of Dftf mv, they approach a portal and there is falling snow in space?! This could be another hint that Sing For You comes later in the story and not before Dftf.

• In Ep 02. One giant leap teaser video, Kyungsoo is the only one who looks back with a robotic sound. Also, he is the only member emersed in green light in the concept pics of Dftf. Smth definitely seems off but we'll leave it at that for now.

From 2:56, they dance in the spaceship with some blinking red lights behind. These could be cctvs as I pointed out in Rover (mini theory) and Obsession. In this era too they are under surveillance.

• SM included easter eggs from previous releases (code numbers) which means a lot as the group has matured artistically alongwith more involvement in production and shares a great bond with their fans (releasing this album for EXO-Ls with Yixing🐑 during the drought❣️).

There were other things I wanted to discuss but due to the confusing timeline I tried my best understanding plot holes. This mv is undoubtedly connected to many others and with the possibility of parallel universes, it has become complex.

Of course I asked more questions than solving them hehe but I love Exo. Do share your thoughts & THANKS FOR READING! Also, missing SeKai😭❣️

To my Loey,

I must have greeted you many times today but let me do it again before this day ends, Happiest Birthday to the boy who made me fall in love with life again. I know it’s cheesy and it’s peak delulu but it’s true.

I first saw you in Return of Superman with Kai because I was so invested with the Park siblings (Naeun and Gunwoo). At first, I was like “Who the hell are these people, are they even that famous? But hey, they’re handsome af?” If my memory is correct, my first encounter of you is back in 2019. I even watched Busted! during the early days of pandemic and Sehun was the first member that got me curious about EXO. Then in 2021, thanks to Facebook’s algorithm, I saw your DFTF MV clip and I immediately fell in love with your visuals and your deep singing voice.

Exactly this part right here!!!!

Whenever I want to listen to DFTF, I always opt to watch the MV because I get to see this part! I think if someone asks me my favorite Loey era, it would be DFTF.

Two years later, I never thought I’d get so whipped that I even bought you a cake to celebrate your birthday today. I even cried while writing a caption for my Instagram post! This is the first time in my years of being a kpop fan that an idol made me so emotional. I guess you could call me a fool but I don’t care about what other people would think when I say that you make me so happy that it made my heart soft again. You made a huge impact in my life— you pulled me from my darkest of days. Your existence, your laugh, your sweet smile, your bright eyes, they shone brightly on me that it made me want to be a better person, to do better and be kinder, just like you.

Chanyeol, thank you for being born. Thank you for existing. Thank you for sharing your love for music with us. My wish for your birthday is good health, and hundredth folds of love and happiness. I hope you will be surrounded by good people who will help you grow as a person and an artist.

Just like the lyrics from the song Been Through, “In the gray sky, there is a brighter light. Behind the dark clouds, there is a dazzling light. You shine like the stars, you light up my heart. At the end of today’s hardships, brightly shine on me”, You shone brightly on me. Keep on shining brightly, Chanyeol. Always remember that you are loved and appreciated by so many people.

Chanyeol. My Cherry Prince. My Loey.

박찬열 사��해. 항상. 영원히. I love you. Always. Forever. 🤍🍒

Here’s the cake I ordered! I didn’t want to eat it but what’s the point of getting a cake, right?

Soon enough, I’ll be able to attend your birthday events in Korea. I’ll be able to attend your fan-meets and your concerts. For now, I’ll celebrate your birthday on my own.

If love is a person, it would be you Park Chanyeol.

how long have u been an exo fan/how did you become a fan?

i've mostly listened to them casually since 2019 without me knowing they were kpop.. like for some reason i have artificial love and transformer in my liked songs from my pre kpop era for some fucking reason?

and then this is a self burn to admit but i got into them because of superm. late 2020 i stumbled into the superm reality show on youtube and from there i branched off into the different groups that made them up..

then in early 2021 i was bewitched by the performance of lady luck you know the one with the acoustic medley at exordium i think it was... and I was like holy fuck you mean I was listening to fuck ass superm when I could have been listening to this????

but what made me ult them was definitely chanyeol i am not afraid to admit i followed my pussy on that one... that editorial for w korea with the platinum undercut did it for me not gonna lie... like my first comeback was dftf so you can imagine the state of things.... chanyeol in the trenches baekhyun followed suit jongdae was getting death threats and no one had seen or heard from suho and kyungsoo in months.... I legit don't understand how or why I decided to become an exo stan at the time

[2andfifteen]

Guys, look what I found. Do you remember this little game we had during DFTF era?

[exoexid]

forgot they actually got lay to say something for those dftf era songs and i was so shocked when his part came while listening to runaway AJSHDJSDFHD

[exo-xexo]

Hello, hello, hello, Secret Santee! It's almost autumn! How are you feeling? What's going on with you? How are you doing these days?

Love the tumblr handle, I see that you're into EXO (intellectual), love that for us.

What's your favourite era? Who do you love the best? Do you walk around maladaptively daydreaming EXO AUs, or are you normal? When did you fall for EXO?

Tell me all of the delicious little bits! <3

I'm feeling okay! Really excited that Autumn is here. I'm doin pretty good right now.

Favorite Era? That's a really hard question... Hmm I like Chen the best, I found them technically in 2012 but didn't dive full in until 2013-2014. I am almost always thinking about AU's and fun little world haha.

I love the whole idea of them having Powers, Power actually is one of my favorite songs and MV's. I also really love Obsession, Electric Kiss, Kokobop, and Monster. I also love Lovin' You Mo', Runaway (makes me tear up ngl), Gravity, Been Through, DFTF, Tempo, Hurdle (Suho), UN Village (Baekhyun), the whole Mmmh album, Watch Out (CBX), Lit (Lay), Honey (Lay), all Chen's albums, Candy (Baekhyun) and don't even get me started on El Dorado. I really like all their MV's and albums (solo, units, or group), like they are all really good in different ways.

Most of what I write in my free time is AU based. I love angsty stories with a happy ending (if it becomes hurt no comfort, then I get really sad, so I don't read those too often). I will say my favorite stories are when the boys are like a found family, I'm not really into romance.

This was a little over the place, sorry about that! I hope I answered your questions?
