Moondae gives me EXO's D.O. vibes lol
quiet, just-a-guy energy, blank face but has a warm smile, looks like he wants to go home, phenomenal main vocalist, actually really kind and affectionate to the people he cares about, has a really tall friend they (lovingly) bully, etc. etc.
Thinking of that time when EXO was playing mafia and Baekhyun was laughing and clapping his hands so aggressively and D.O. (the mafia) just turned his head and gave him the most judging dead stare and then proceeds to kill him since Baekhyun had been really noisy the whole time.
You can't tell me that'd be Moondae with Keun Sejin or Eugene maybe

i love second gen boy group kpop all the music videos from like 2004-2014 are like "we're going to take these boys, dress them in tight white jeans (or shiny silver pants) and probably pair a t-shirt with a scarf, then give these boys the most whack-ass haircuts we can think of, although one of them must include bangs in a bieber swoosh, then do black eyeshadow around the entire eye, then we're going to throw them into a dark room that's entirely metal and super futuristic, throw in some ankle-height stage lights and watch them dance in perfect unison"

The SM Entertainment Group That Stood Out From The Rest With Their “Rushed” Debut
They seemed to just hope for the best!
When it comes to debuts, SM Entertainment often makes grand ones. EXO, for instance, had 23 teasers released over the span of three months in 2012.
On the flipside, the boy group that debuted before them hardly had any promotions.
SHINee is one of their original boy groups, debuting in 2008 with the song “Replay.” Though their formation took several years, their announcement to the public was quick.
SM Entertainment announced the existence of SHINee on May 19, 2008. They released the teaser images of the group on this same day as well.
Unlike with their other groups such as Red Velvet, EXO, and Girls’ Generation, the company did not slowly introduce the members one by one. They revealed all five—Minho, Onew, Jonghyun, Taemin, and Key—at the same time.
Moreover, the music video was released on May 22, just three days after the teaser images dropped.
In comparison, Red Velvet’s “Happiness” was released around one month since the member teasers were revealed while EXO’s debut music video for “MAMA” was released three months after their first teaser featuring Kai.
Netizens commented that SHINee’s debut made it seem like the company just “hoped for the best” with how short the releases were.
Regardless, SHINee’s “Replay” was a massive success. A panel of 35 music critics and industry experts from MelOn and the Seoul Shinmun even named one of the top 100 K-pop songs of all time.

VTIC just gives me Exo vibes. Mostly because of their concept and how long they've been in the industry.
