EXO Release Celebratory Dance Anthem "Don't Fight the Feeling"
EXO is BACK!
EXO-Ls, the day has come. After almost exactly a month of teasers, EXO’s special mini-album Don't Fight the Feeling is officially here.
The five-track project arrives just in time to help us usher in the summer season, and leading the way is the music video for title track “Don’t Fight the Feeling” – a feel-good dance anthem that invites us to, well, not fight the feeling.
In line with EXO’s concept, the music video is set in a futuristic spaceship amid a meteor rain and features seven of EXO’s nine current members, clad in techwear-inspired gear for a large chunk of the video.
With its infectious beat and catchy lyrics, it’s impossible to listen without at least a little shimmy and a smile. Aside from relay dances galore and a long-awaited Lay solo spotlight, the music video also gifts us with some special duo moments, starting with a cute Baekhyun and Chanyeol dance interaction during the song’s second verse, just before Kai and Xiumin follow suit.
Chanyeol and Sehun take over during the dance break, then it’s time for Lay, D.O., and Baekhyun to steal the spotlight with some stellar vocals. With a little help from technology, we also see the seven members reunite during the celebratory ending scene.
My Video
Of course, fans are already having fun highlighting their favorite moments from the video – whether it is the “digital” reunion, Sehun’s rap, or a particular member's dance turn or verse.
An explorer has found the biggest insect ever on record – so large it can scoff a carrot. The insect is called a Weta Bug and has a huge wing span of seven inches and weighs as much as three mice.
An entomologist Mark Moffett, 55, discovered the cricket-like creature up a tree on New Zealand’s Little Barrier Island. He spent two days searching for the creepy crawly which were thought to be extinct after Europeans brought rats to the island many years ago.
“This became all the more amazing when we realized that this was the largest insect recorded.” Mark said.
