EXO-M - What is Love (Chinese version) MV [English subs + Pinyin + Chinese]

[sirpaulmccartneysex]

EXO-K & EXO-M both sang this song beautifully in their own way. -3

[thrillxofxice]

I just don't get why this version isn't just as, if not more, popular than the Korean version. This version is so pretty and a lot easier to listen to in my opinion. I just like the way Lu Han and Chen sang it better I guess. :/

The lyrics also appear to be more meaningful, as the comment below me said.

[antuane18]

The Korean lyrics are actually different from the Chinese version. The Chinese version seems more meaningful.

[alteringshadows]

What I love about the Chinese version is how they hit the high notes, so good! They sing them real high. And also how rich their singing is. And the chorus are just lovely ^-^

[yvonnetay98]

I like the Chinese ver. :))

[heechul14]

Tao <3

[jessicalol123456789]

Lu Han

[Aibokagimoto]

Love Chen

[Stelladbsk]

Is Chen really from Canada? What city?

Chen's an awesome singer. Some might think this sounds weird, but he reminds me of a Korean version of Will Young.

[evilpixiesticks]

@Stelladbsk kris is chinese canadian kris is the one in all white he comes from Vancouver Canada. Chen is korean

[evilpixiesticks]

@Stelladbsk chen isn't from canada kris the person in all white and exo m's leader is the one fron canada

[hoesaegjasal]

Sadly I have fallen for this song, it's just so catchy. btw does anyone know if all members are chinese??

[evilpixiesticks]

@hoesaegjasal all are chinese in exo m except for 2 who are korean they are chen the 2nd singer who's standing with with black hair and xiu min

[SeldimSeen1]

This is still the best version Chen has the pipes and Lu Han's tone and delivery is so beautiful.

[jazzanie]

...wait, these are not the same singers as the korean version? ...and different guys in the video as well?

[meowchforever]

@jazzanie yeah. There's EXO-K, for the Korean version, and EXO-M, for the Chinese version. lol. And the two people singing are different, but the rest of the video is pretty much the same...

[alteringshadows]

Thank you so much for this! :D

[tqahcerriboom]

oh wow!! love both of this 2 group ..they cool,HOT,amazing voice ..----->cute XD

[tqahcerriboom]

erk ..wait wait wait ..im confused already ..

EXO_K?EXO_M ?whats the difference between 2 hot new boys bands?

[wildcrzyangel]

@tqahcerriboom both are essentially the same except Exo-K is focused in Korea whereas Exo-M is primarily going to promote in China/Taiwan.

i believe both groups have a mixture of Korean and Chinese memebers.

[evilpixiesticks]

@wildcrzyangel nope only exo m has 2 korean members exo k is all korean

[funfamilyish]

For all who don't know who the guy at 0:40 is: his name is Kris (stagename). He is the leader and the rapper of EXO-M. His birthname is Wu Fan.

[mira6139]

thank you so much for the subs :) i already subs to you,can you please subs other exo-m lyrics when they release their debut song :D much appreciate the good work,keep up the good work!

[ceresme90]

it is different the word nice it is really nice

[koinoko]

I am more used to the korean version that i laughed at hearing this. But both songs are great, I prefer it in korean coz the chinese one seems like the singers are being chased that they pronounce hastily. EXO HWAITING!

[nickiminadjah]

Now that I know what the song is about the video is so irrelevant....BUT I LOVE IT ANYWAY♥♥

[v0T3x4]

This is Chinese??.... it sounds Korean to me, and Im Chinese

[evilpixiesticks]

@v0T3x4 chen is korean luhan is chinese

[achlysRawr]

Jamaican fan right here, I love this version. But the Korean one is just.........Amazing.

[Shadzee]

@achlysRawr cool i'm trini...i am addicted to this song and version..had it on replay for a good half hour..something about the combination of Lu Han and Chen's voices just hits me hard...

[achlysRawr]

@Shadzee cool i have a few trini friends, ...i know their voices are amazing

[Jbothernot]

I listen to korean song more than mandrin song but this is good.

Its slightly awkward at first but it get addictive.

[AnuMintyTang]

OH WOW thankyou for the upload ^^ im extremely pleased with the traditional characters... as now more people tend to use simplified :/

[gymnast2010addict]

@AnuMintyTang I agreed. Traditional looks better...but being a fail of a HK ABC, I can't read traditional TT__TT sadness.

[AnuMintyTang]

@gymnast2010addict Yeah xD I hate simplified characters total fob when im reading them >_<"

[fantabulousgirlz13]

@AnuMintyTang simplified and traditional aren't that different are they? well for me it's the same i guess cuz i can only read limited simplified :$

[AnuMintyTang]

@fantabulousgirlz13 Well for you it might be easy, but as being brought up learning only traditional its hard for you to identify the characters when they are simplified

[emchen5]

@AnuMintyTang But it's easier to learn simplified when you only know traditional than it is to learn traditional when you only know simplified :d. I agree; traditional is better lol

[AnuMintyTang]

@emchen5 Yh thats what I've heard too because the characters look the same-ish? but yh >< as long as their is pin-yin im okay :)

[evilpixiesticks]

to me @ 3:48 is sounds like lu han says super junior just like how when u-kiss sings man man hanii there is a cat's meow or i might be just hearing things

[HipHopLap]

@evilpixiesticks lol, i hear Super Junior as well.

[evilpixiesticks]

@HipHopLap lol at least i'm not crazy that i did hear super junior

[plibbertyplop]

Thank you!! lol my chinese is such a fail i have to depend on the pingyin..Going to pay attention in Chinese class now! for TAOOOOOO <3333333333333 Jia yo.......

[gymnast2010addict]

@plibbertyplop *jia you. ^^ 加油

[lunaticsparkles]

New years resoultion: learn how to sing this in chinese

[OneeOppa]

i dont know what it is but...I like korean more than chinese, why?....

[visualcheshire]

thank you for subbing this! I love this version.

can someone help me out? wich one of the members danced in Shinee's concert when JJong got hurt? Lay or Lu Han? thank you~

[xiaholic2009]

@visualcheshire that would be Lay

[visualcheshire]

@xiaholic2009 thank you =)

[dyania23]

REALLY, i cannot wait for their debut. their music and dancing, too awesome. anyone knows when are they debuting?

[r0ll1ng5t4r]

I'm definitely impressed by the production going into EXO-M. It isn't SM's usual half assed attempt at translating a Korean song into another language, but a well thought out process this time, while still preserving the meaning and pretty much line by line translation of the song in both languages. I wish both EXO groups much success!

[momojelly8]

It's hard to speak so quickly in the Chinese version. Even though I can speak Chinese more fluently than Korean. Somehow I can sing the Korean version more easily.

[MISSwaiting1234]

@momojelly8 Of course...Chinese word is much more difficult to say tho...

[analivita]

I like it more in Chinese, I love Chen and Luhan' voices :)

[forigenworks]

I love both versions. Some songs that have different language versions sound like they are missing something but this song sounds great in both versions. 我很喜欢他们。

[zisulizations]

I like both songs, but I think I prefer the Chinese version just a bit more. Its strange cause I usually only like the Korean versions; maybe its cause this year I've started learning Mandarin?

[lilacs91]

Am I the only one that thinks Chinese sounds atrocious for this song? Mandarin only fits well with certain types of songs. This song is not that ><. It sounds too rushed and...it doesn't sound smooth and easy going like the Korean one. This song is still "ok", but the Korean one is much much better.

[evilpixiesticks]

@lilacs91 well of the 2 singers luhan is the only chinese singer singing right now chen is korean so of course while chen is learning chinese it might not sound good

[ROFLKitty34]

I'm a diehard kpop fan, but this si one good chinese version, although I hate it hen the lyrics change depending on the language

[aDogForAllSeasons]

@ROFLKitty34 ? The lyrics for both versions are nearly the same.

[TaigaToraNana]

Can you please put down the Pinyin lyrics in the description box?

Yours is so much easier to read! *_*

Anyway, thank you so much for this video, it's so accurate! ^_^

[lilpinkfrog2]

@TaigaToraNana Done :)

[TaigaToraNana]

@lilpinkfrog2 Thanksss! :D

[chyans9as1]

I'd appreciate it if you can share the .srt file. Love this song mmore than their Korean one. Might be because I can understand it a bit. :D

[YlvaCullen]

Thank you soooo much! Love from a mandarin-learning, norwegian EXO fan :) <3

[LoveDBSJ4ever]

@YlvaCullen OMG!!! Are you Norwegian as well??

[YlvaCullen]

@LoveDBSJ4ever yes, sir! ^^

[LitcheTheArsm]

@LoveDBSJ4ever HEY! I'm norwegian by blood (75 %) but I live in Sweden. Go Scandinavian fans!

[LoveDBSJ4ever]

@LitcheTheArsm Yay! Love it when I "meet" Scandinavian fans^^

[ParkYuha]

can you share me the word file of Chinese + Pinyin ? Thanks so much :x

[thesupergeneration22]

luhann i love you <3

[Viearas]

LOve Both Korean + Chinese Version!!

[X3funkyanimefoxX3]

chinese works better for this song

[PoppingThoughts]

@X3funkyanimefoxX3 The song itself is of much chinese style :D But the chinese lyrics sound a little........

[X3funkyanimefoxX3]

@PoppingThoughts what?

[infinitey90]

idk why but the chinese version sounds better than korean.or i'm just too confused to pick which one's better?idk >.<

[momokorobo]

请问哪几些句写得怪怪的？我听了都觉得词ok嘛。。。

[Mreleezy]

@momokorobo 例如动作片男主角。。。并不是我想歪，但是这个语境下会让人想到­AV- -

[anu024]

Who is the member at 0:39??

[1037Mia]

@anu024 English name is lay. Chinese name is YiXing Zhang

[CherDTM]

@anu024 He's Cris :)

[Rita861015]

lu han you are handsome

[Rita861015]

루한 가 왜 그렇게 많은 한국 사람처럼 보이나요?

[Eunicey98]

weird weird de..

[yachiru96]

i <3 this song :D I'm already an Exo-M fan aha, thanks for the subtitles, they really help and I've been trying to study Mandarin :3!! can anyone tell me who's who, though? ^.^" The only one i can recognize is Lu Han lmao.

[evilpixiesticks]

@yachiru96 for exo m kris leader, xiu min, he's 1 of the korean members in m ,luhan, lay, chen korean member also tao youngest

[storpelly]

I heard that would be 2 Korean members in EXO-M I supposed they should be Chen and Xiu Min. I love both version but Chen's high note combined with Lu Han's smooth voice hit me in the heart most, whereas Baek Hyun and D.O's voice brought warmth feeling.. Maybe it just caused by the difference of Chinese and Korean's sound and pronounciation. ^^

[MimiYueey]

I understand Mandarin now! Much better than before anyway and I can read it. Gotta keep learning.

[BlueCrystal888]

@MimiYueey Story of my life..... i suck at chinese

[alicemante24]

why did someone dislikes it?

i really love this song

[supa0badgirl]

THIS IS SOOOOO HEARD. Crap I like the mandarin version better but the korean version is eaqsier to sing along to. Well i guess i found my new years resolution.

[xoxybluverxox]

1:47 and 2:55<3 love the high notes this guy hits

i like the song more now that i know the lyrics:)

[SamieeK]

I'm glad it has the same meaning as the Korean version!

[gabonghyunnie]

This is so sweet... And the lyrics OMG so cute~ so romantic~

I LOVE IT! AND THANKS FOR SUB A LOT

[MitsuSan801]

I think SM Koreanized Lu Han's Chinese, he doesn't have a Chinese accent anymore less they edited his voice a lot. Their pronunciation...I barely understand them without looking at the subs. Hopefully Chen will get better at Chinese when they really debut. I do agreed that the lyrics isn't that great, SM really need to hire better lyricists.

[TheFinalAlice]

@MitsuSan801 Why? Aren't they Chinese? Can't they say, 'hey this Chinese is crazy, boss. don't you want to expand into China? Shouldn't you have people who can do this right for that?' lol.

[MitsuSan801]

@TheFinalAlice None of the original lyricists are Chinese in this song so I meant SM need a better translator/ Chinese lyricist for this song. Sorry if I confused you.

[TheFinalAlice]

@MitsuSan801 So why can't EXO-M notice that the lyrics are weird and say anything? Why are SM's translator's translating like this in the first place? If its their job to debut a Chinese group into China's market, surely SM has the money to hire someone who can do better.

[MitsuSan801]

@TheFinalAlice I don't really know why SM won't hire someone else since I don't know how the CEO manage the company's money. Usually when singers cover another song in a different language the translators would directly translate the lyrics and then change it so it would fit the tone of the language along with other things. I guess the reason why EXO-M didn't say anything because they probably don't want to cause trouble since they are still consider to be rookies.

[mashimaroluver56]

@MitsuSan801 some ppl said chen's chinese is good for a foreigner. im sure with time he'll improve hehe. although im not chinese, after years of listening to kpop, i picked up his korean accent pretty fast. damn i thought he was chinese, i was lied toooooo! lol holds fist in the air

[MitsuSan801]

@mashimaroluver56 Ha ha, me too, with his stage name Chen I thought he was Chinese too. Then I heard this song so I thought he was part of the Korean-Chinese minority but his pronunciation was kinda bad so from there I knew he was really Korean.

[KIMNETTSU]

xiexie ni! ^^ wo hen xihuan.

[ThePockystickz]

Thanks for the subs <3!
