10 Things You Might Have Missed In EXO's New "Obsession" MV

The long-awaited battle between EXO and X-EXO is finally here! There’s so much to see in EXO‘s new “Obsession” MV that these details are easily missed the first time around!

1. The intro

If the intro for “Obsession” sounds familiar, it’s probably because you heard it in “Cloud 9” first.

why is no one talking about how the beginning of obsession has the same thing as the beginning of cloud 9?? #OBSESSION #OBSESSEDwithEXO @weareoneEXO @exoonearewe pic.twitter.com/FIBCQ8sp2E

2. Suho underwater

If you look very closely, you’ll see Suho floating above the ruins of a sunken city…

…just like he floats in this gallery.

Could the floating scene be referencing this one from “Electric Kiss” MV?

3. This neck snap

When EXO snap their own necks, the video cuts back to X-EXO. Some fans theorize that EXO died in the MV and X-EXO took over.

4. These battling vocals

Everything about “Obsession” is a fight. EXO and X-EXO even battle it out in the vocal arrangement!

Notice how the backing vocals are X Exo while the normal singin is Exo??? FUCKING GENIUS #OBSESSEDwithEXO #TimeForOBSESSION @weareoneEXO @exoonearewe

5. The number of hands reaching for Suho

With the reflection, it’s hard to see how many hands are in this shot. Six hands would make the most sense, since six members star in this video. Nine would also make sense because that’s how many members EXO has in total. Why then does it look like there are only seven…?

6. Puppetmaster

At the beginning of the video, Suho raises us his members (and clone members) from the back of their formation like they are marionettes on his strings.
