In part 2 of their interview with IZE Magazine , EXO discusses how it’s like to practice together. The boys demonstrate immense teamwork when training together for their performances.
They practice up to 8 hours a day in order to perfect their routines. The members are polite and will personally help out those who need assistance with their choreography (*cough* Chen ).
They say that because they have each other, they are able to become better dancers and are able to learn the choreography more easily. The members look to the best dancers in the group ( Kai, Lay, Sehun ) for guidance. Luhan and Chen both stated that because of the members, they were able to be where they are now with their dancing skills.
Chen, who only trained for 4 months, said that he never danced before… all he did was focus on his singing… but because of the EXO members, he was able to master the choreography.
The members stated that Baekhyun , the mood maker, is one of the main reasons why they can practice so long. He makes the atmosphere brighter with his personality and jokes, and it gives the other members more energy to carry on.
Lay also said that if they’re tired, they go out and order hamburgers. He says he doesn’t know why, but when they eat hamburgers, they revive their energy somehow.
Check out the interview below!

Team Practices’ Value How did you practice for the performance of ‘Growl.’ There must be members who are specialized in rap and vocals since the beginning. Sehun: For dance, during our trainee period, in the basic class we started learning from bounce and riding the rhythm and starting from the next level, we learned dances that were more and more harder. Because at that time we were individually judged, we needed to match the balance between the skills of a person who dances well and the skills of a person who does not dance well. That is why if we become one team, we try to hold onto someone who dances really well and tries to be in the spot light too much, and try to help someone who is lacking to be better. Kai: Even after debut, we learned in the aspects that we individually lacking in and taught in the areas that we were good in. Suppose Chanyeolie hyung felt himself that he was lacking in his dance skills, he will go to a member that dances well and ask how he should practice. And because it was a whole practice, we tried to match the choreography angle the same. Chen: While promoting ‘Wolf and Beauty’ and ‘Growl,’ I ended up using the same room as Kai and after finishing the day’s practice, before we slept, we talked a lot. They were conversations like ‘today it was like this, tomorrow I should do it like this.’ Although he’s a dongsaeng, I had a lot of things I could learn from him. When we practice, because Kai always matches to my level and teaches me how to dance, it was easy to take it in. After listening, the next practice I would do it the way Kai had told me and add gestures. And even then if it wasn’t working, Kai would fix it again. You must have felt the value of practicing as a team. Luhan: The meaning was really big. If I was practicing by myself, my skills will exceed slowly, but if in front of friends that dance well, I learn a lot of good things and learn quicker. Chen: Before I came into the company, I never touched the thing called dance and my training period was short as well. But seeing as how I debuted in a performance group, in the beginning it was really hard. However the members would come hand practice with me whether it be early in the morning or even late at night, and soon I was able to follow these friends. No matter how hard something is, I think we can do everything when with the members. I think that me being bale to dance on stage like this now is all thanks to the members. When practicing, is there a rule that is autonomously decided. Sehun: There is not something that we decided on. It is not an atmosphere where we force one to practice. Because we all live together in the dorm and move together, there is no way there can be a member late to practice. Xiumin: For now, it’s when we do it, let’s do it right. Baekhyun: Because everyone works hard there is nothing like ‘today let’s do over four hours.’ If amongst the twelve members, one member doesn’t want to practice, we consider that person and let them go to the dorm and for those who want to practice more do it individually. But even then, I think basically we do over eight hours of practice a day. It’s because we must prepare perfectly so that we can show a different side. Chen: Especially because our hiatus time after ‘MAMA’ was long, we prepared very hard amongst ourselves as well. In a situation where everyone is tired to the point that they’re going to faint, who is the member that endures till the end. Baekhyun: If we feel like we’re going to die, then we all rest together. Because we can’t be tired tomorrow because we practiced one more hour today. Lay: When I see it, I think everyone endures it well. When we really feel like we’re going to die, if we order hamburgers once, then we all gather strength again. (laughter) Once I thought, ‘why is it that when we order hamburgers, we gather strength,’ and I think it’s because when we eat, we gain weight, and then because we have to exercise, we practice harder. And if atmosphere maker Baekhyun makes a hwaiting atmosphere, we all gather strength together. Does Baekhyun have a know-how on how to make the atmosphere better during a situation where everyone is tired. Baekhyun: For instance, if someone got a move wrong, I make everyone laugh by expressing that more ridiculously. It’s not like I say something funny and make the atmosphere better. (laughter)
