🕑 Added 2024-04-15 19:00:14 +0000 UTC🎥 Along for the Ride
Dive into a special 2-for-1 edition of "EXO Arcade" Season 2 with Kerry and Simon as they enjoy back-to-back episodes featuring the members engaging in the hilarious 'Pitch Perfect' game. With Suho and Chen away on military service, the remaining members split into two teams of three, each tasked with the challenge of perfectly accenting each syllable of a phrase in sequence.
In these episodes, the game centres around precise pronunciation and teamwork, with each member taking turns to nail the accentuation perfectly. The competitive spirit is high as both teams strive not only for victory but also to avoid the yet-to-be-revealed punishment, adding an extra layer of suspense. The prize? Delicious food that motivates the teams to give their best performances.
Kerry and Simon provide their engaging commentary on the group dynamics, noting how the absence of Suho and Chen shifts the team strategies and interactions. They highlight the humorous attempts, occasional blunders, and the camaraderie that shines through even in competition. The reaction also touches on the creative punishments and rewards that are a hallmark of the show, keeping the excitement levels high.
Join us to see how the members tackle this linguistic challenge and who ends up facing the mysterious punishment. It's an episode full of laughs, playful banter, and the unmistakable charm of EXO.

There’s a difference in those other shows with Ladder 4… I think in GBRB he was able to be a carefree maknae doing whatever he wanted to do with the hyungs who adore him, and in No Math School Trip he just acted like a regular guy with his friends who understand him well because they are all in the entertainment industry… but in Exo, D.O. has said it before, theres no need for him to talk much because theres plenty of hyper people in the group… i think it’s also his coping mechanism to be silent and rely on the other members to talk when he goes through hard/ busy times… but in Ladder 4 you can see him really being pro-active, really being a driving force in the flow of the show, plus he was super affectionate and touchy with Baekhyun.. i laughed my ass off when Sehun said whats wrong with him? He’s so talkative he’s lost his charm lol.. but we all saw the airport pics and videos of when they went to shoot ladder 4, you could see how clingy he was to Baekhyun…theres even OP who posted that Kyungsoo saw her carrying teolaegi at the airport and Kyungsoo told her - thanks for buying teolaegi… i think it really was his way to show support in the middle of cbx drama

There's a short video called ChanKaiSoo in a nutshell that explains these three in a way words cannot.

Just FYI Jang Sung Kyu wasn't ever really their manager. He has a youtube show called 'Workman' were he does different jobs each episode and in episode 34 he became EXO's "manager" for the day. It was a fun watch!

Baekhyun isn’t competitive, he’s just high spirited 😂
doribo
And it’s not just in Ladder 4! Even in his variety shows No Math School Trip and GBRB: Reap What You Sow, Kyungsoo was just so engaging and delightful. 2023 was like a turning point for D.O. Ever since he turned 30, he’s been enjoying himself more. I’m really really happy for him.
doribo
Yep! Of course all the members are close, but it’s only natural to have a BEST friend in a circle of friends, so in EXO, Kyungsoo’s best friends are Chanyeol and Kai. 😊
Manchego Babi
Yes Kerry Simon, ChanSoo and KaiSoo are so very real they are not an awkward team at all, are crazy close. Chanyeol and D.O. in particular often go to trips together just the two of them. They try to be lowkey but eagle eyed exo-Ls always spot them in Japan together… and KaiSoo god. Just watch any KaiSoo compilation on yt it is… better than any BL ahahahaha

The way I have so many things I need to comment to correct all of Simon and Kerry’s false assumptions, but of course aeris will have posted it all here already ahahahaha. Simon, Kerry, are you paying attention to the comments? Hahaha. This was post pandemic era there were no group activities, Xiumin and D.O. Just got out, Chen and Suho are already in… the difference between super sharp Xiumie from Arcade 1 vs post military Xiumie Arcade 2 is crazy… and D.O. here and Ladder 3 vs D.O. in Ladder 4 is a totally different person, it’s like him and Baekhyun switched roles in Ladder 4 because Baek just got out of military and they all were going theough CBX SM drama… D.O. really stepped up for his members in Ladder 4 to be competitive, loud, engaging because he must have known they were not in the position to do so… the brotherhood is so real
doribo
I know I sound biased when I say this but Arcade 2 is my favorite simply bc of how happy D.O. is post-military. 😭❤️ Not to say he wasn’t happy pre-enlistment, but when you watch any EXO/D.O. related content after 2021, he’s just…glowing. Especially in Ladder 4! Oh god, Kyungsoo in Ladder 4 is such a joy to witness.
doribo
I find it so funny that you think ChanKaiSoo is a weird mix bc ChanKaiSoo is actually one of the most popular trios in EXO. 😆 The three of them used to be roommates back in the EXO dorm so they’re super close, and they shared many iconic moments on tour. The stage lineup has always been Chanyeol-D.O.-Kai-Suho-Chen-Xiumin-Baek-Sehun since their debut, so ChanKaiSoo are always fooling around/in their own little word at the far left of the stage. 😆
SesameKat9
That D.O.-can't-stop-laughing-at-Kai part I can just replay over and over and over
Sooingkids
I think this was kyungsoo's very first appearance after discharge because sm never gave him a comeback live or anything - so if he seems a little extra lost, it's natural. And because he was also inactive for around 6 months before enlisting, it's his first variety appearance in 2 years.
Magical Creature
Fun fact Chanyeol, Kai and D.O used to be roomies in the same room.

I wouldn't say Baek is the most competitive, it's just that he's the one that loves playing games the most and is very good at any sort of games. He is competitive, but definitely not as much as Chanyeol is.
pen
love it!!
RachelExoNctandXgFan
Yay! This never gets old. I needed this to offset my sadness over Taeyong's enlistment although I miss Kai and Sehun even more lol
jojujo
This season of Arcade is hilarious! Btw, the MC's YouTube show is called Workman. He tries and reviews different jobs for a day and when he was working at a petrol station he coincidentally met Suho, which then led to the "EXO's manager" episode they were referencing in this. It's really funny and only about 15 minutes long if you need something short in between at some point. I think a few Seventeen members have also been on Workman as guests.
guccikai
ChanKaiSoo were roommates in their rookie years.. cuties
Marta Mor
I love all the EXO arcade and plays but these in the 2 cracks me everytime 🤣🤣🤣
Aurelio_Evelyn

Claudia

Halima l- 1485 EXOL for life 💖
Wrong sehunnie is the leader it was suho idea 😄 this was don't fight feeling era xiumin D.O comeback baekhyun and Chanyeol were preparing their enlist.
Jihoon kick me
AAA im so excited for this :D
UminSoMuchToMe
Also he isn’t actually their ex-manager. He an entertainer and has this show where he takes up different jobs and one of those was him being EXO’s manager for a day! 😂❤️
UminSoMuchToMe
Welcome to EXO’s leader less era! (It was chaotic 😂😂)
