As Juyoung and Jason pointed out, this cooperation between SM entertainment and Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra is awesome for not only getting kids into classical music but also people who aren't interested in orchestral music. I'd really like to praise SM for their wild ambition and effort, bravo SM.

[@bambi_cutie]

this is a top tier comment, that's why SM was, is, and will still be the best K-ebt company of all. They make the trends and are never afraid of putting out Kpop content we almost never expect :-) this company's creative diversity is just insane

[@ryu246]

yeah, it actually shows on sm station releases.

[@notmyname3556]

@@ryu246 I've been a long time stan of sm. You can tell how much they love music with their music choices since the beginning of the label. The Jackson's family and their colleagues actually acknowledge how much SM love MJ's music on many different occasions. So when sm station happened, it's safe to say I was excited cause they finally opened a door for outsiders for collabs and having a proper platform to showcase and promote it.

Wendy’s last lines are gorgeous, especially the subtle crescendo and decrescendo on the very last part. Something about it elevates the song, and almost makes the song feel like a deeper form of happiness, if that makes sense? A more contemplative happiness... and it converts well into a violin part But yeah, I love this song, and anybody who doesn’t is wrong

[@SevPOOTS]

I was anticipating their reaction to wendy's last line. I remembered my first time watching the MV and I was just bopping through the whole song and when it went to that silent part I was like "Awwwww 🥺". Really encompasses the feeling of a summer love (Fun and sincere)

One of my favorite K-pop songs of all time and one of the best summer anthems, period. This is so timely since RV is coming back soon. Thank you for this very insightful reaction to the song and to the orchestral arrangement. Mad props for the editing in this episode, I laughed pretty hard a couple of times!

[@erieluvie0905]

Thanks to Kevin for mentioning the bridge. Red velvet are the Queens of bridges! Plus red flavour's bridge is one of my most favourite bridges in kpop alongside EXO's tempo bridge. That's because it includes part singing, part rapping and all 5 members are involved in it.

A summer song, but played at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Pyeongchang. Ironically, the song was played as the US team entered the stadium, in which delegation were two women's hockey players that were on a high school golf team with Wendy.

[@Bitaneul]

I like how one of the musicians said the oboe is a vulnerable instrument on its own and it was used to portray Jonghyun in the orchestral version of End Of A Day. Just something I noticed.

Red Flavor is a bright & cheerful song that never fails to lift me up. The bridge which slows down the song, then it moves to grander/richer sound with amazing adlibs/high notes, and it ends with Wendy's vocal without any background music are so satisfying to listen to. Still remember how hype people were when the girls first revealed the song by performing it live in SMTOWN concert. I love the mini album too! Looking forward for RV's comeback this coming August. Probably another summer bop.
