GETTING TO KNOW RED VELVET (레드벨벳) Pt. 3 | 'Russian Roulette', 'Rookie', & 'Bad Boy'

[@jag0603]

Here's a thing, with all the fun, craziness, lovely and quirky their MV and songs are. Deep inside there's a creepy, sadness, brokenness or whatever negative aura in it. That's what RV usually portray. And it's a lore too. Its amazing to see what the story behind those MVs.

[@wifi539]

i read "deep inside" and uncover started playing in my head omg

[@TheBlbeemer]

Yep too true.

[@Lyf4rMusic]

Spoilers: IT'S ALL ABOUT REVE !!

[@S39-t1c]

23:42 she is not the visual, she is THE one and only ORIGINAL VISUAL!! Irene is considered as one of the most beautiful idols from all gens

[@kyanxyzz]

its more than just a visual.

[@Superion74]

FYI Irene is the Leader, the Center, and the Visual of Red Velvet, although I think every member is a visual.

[@gabriellamaia6709]

She is also the Lead dancer, Main rapper and Face.

[@davids12345100]

RV’s tt’s are so good but I would argue that their b sides are the true strength of their discography. Having said that, Bad Boy is just THAT song! It’s so damn good! Just a few fun facts about their mv’s… - there is a table in every mv, - Rolling Stone put Dumb Dumb in their top 10 mv’s in 2015

[@maskedsaiyan3667]

Yup,thats why they r known as the Queens of B sides🔥.

[@riffgroove]

If you've only heard their title tracks, you still don't really know anything about the group.

[@cactiguide]

So true. And some people try to do rankings, which would make my head implode if I even tried that.

[@riffgroove]

@@cactiguide I tried once to make a top 10 ranking for RV and gave up after 5 minutes. Their discography is way too deep and way too good.

[@cactiguide]

@@riffgroove yeah, i mean how do you even compare zoo to body talk, don’t you wait no more to bye bye, or huff n puff to butterflies?? They are so different but still great in their own way.

[@reveluvly]

red velvet is one of the groups where listening to the music and watching the mvs is a TOTALLY different experience, yet both are equally enjoyable.

[@pnandi]

Their red songs are usually not my cup of tea but Rookie and Russian Roulette are one of my fav RV tts. The creepy elements in those are so subtle but give a deeper meaning. Russian roulette is about killing each other (and not by love). Rookie has the hallucinating elements Umpah umpah has drowning Dumb dumb is being so into someone that you stop thinking about yourself Spooky happy was the best way to describe it. 15:40 you're so spot on here. Irene is known to be the mastermind in their storylines, the one who causes troubles for the other members and more often than not you'll notice her giving a very creepy blank look in the MVs

[@pomzajr]

Russian roulette:are they trying to kill each other? Lol they’ve BEEN trying the entire video! Keep it up, ladies! I’m having such a good time watching you two become reveluvs :)

[@yousmile07]

and who wins in the end 👀

[@phananx7773]

Get ready to get pulled into the Reveluv life! Their MVs are always impressive! RVs B-sides are wild!

[@kdluvie]

red flavor was their first big hit, it's a summer anthem in Korea (red velvet are summer queens) and the mv introduce their oficial fruits in a cute, fun but strange way, you need to watch it 😭 and the pekaboo mv was a cultural reset, is the most creepy mv, yo need to watch it x2 😭

[@joyheartfilia8908]

[@pamyoojy755]

Bad boy still my #1 from them till now! I still remember the shocked that i felt when i first watched the MV. It was give me u-turn vibe from before.

[@ianm271]

"Bad Boy" is THAT SONG...THAT. SONG. That's all I need to say. ALSO THERE'S AN ENGLISH VERSION AND IT'S SPICY. "Peek-A-Boo" and onward is where you REALLY see the fusion of their red and velvet concepts, although they still drop tracks that are separate in concept. "Bad Boy" is definitely more velvet but there's little "red" flares in it. Once you get to "Really Bad Boy" it's kind of the opposite in the sense that it is more red vibed but its got some R&B vocal tones that pull the velvet side in with it. BAD BOY AND PSYCHO ERA WENDY ARE MY FAVORITE STYLES OH MY GOD I CANNOT HANDLE HER HAIR AND CONTACTS AND JUST AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Also Peek-A-Boo and Bad Boy gave us the induction of "Murder bang Seulgi" and like...She needs to wear that shit ALL THE TIME.. "Russian Roulette" era had a lot of incredible songs, "Bad Dracula" and "Lucky Girl" are my top two B-sides from that era. YERI RED HAIR ERA'S ARE JUST...AHHHHHHHHHHHH. Red Velvet has tables or they're sitting circled around SOMETHING in every MV almost. "Rookie" was that HYPER DIVISIVE song...And I could NOT stand it at first if I'm honest. The more I began understanding Red Velvet's sound though, it grew on me. LOL For some reason I feel like I knew Kess would catch what sounded like "Nookie Nookie." LOL. "Matji, matji, geu neukkimjeogin neukkim, neukkim" is the line you caught. "Neukkim" I think translates to something like "My feelings for you are starting to show/come out." Joy's face she makes at the exploding wardrobe towards the end is HYSTERICAL. Iconic as fuck. Also parts of the set are moving and parts of them are CG editing movement. Flowerguy is a costume, and I SINCERELY thought it was Hitchhiker (DJ signed to SM Entertainment) for a hot minute. So Red Velvet's storyline is SUPER DEEP AND COMPLEX and the best way that I can describe it (From the way that I have comprehended it, so...Reveluv's who know it better than I do don't come for me): They are all under Irene's mind control, which is kind of denoted by Irene's ending poses sometimes being different from the rest of the girls. Every time one of the members starts to realize it and try to fight against it she either kills them or something happens to bring them all back under her control (idk if kill is accurate but...SOME SHIT GOES DOWN.) That's why a lot of their videos are trippy AF. Zimzalabim is a perfect example: the rollercoaster scene around Irene's head. Irene puppeting the girls and focusing on something entirely different through the whole of the "Rookie" MV is also a good indicator.

[@autumneagle]

Yeah but in the English version of Bad Boy they changed Irene's opener for some godforsaken reason.

[@Thyrwyn]

Bad Boy is that song. It is off of the appropriately titled "Perfect Red Velvet" album - and that is exactly what it is. Also (During "Bad Boy"): "....She's the Visual, right....?" ReveLuvs: "Yes. Yes they are."

[@reveluvsone7867]

Yes .They should watch it.

[@alwayselmay]

Trueeee

[@j34nist51]

true!

[@cactiguide]

In a way I envy you getting to discover RV for the first time. I’ve played every song so much, even from the birthday album, if I know the name of their song, I can hear it in my head right away.

[@Lyf4rMusic]

SAME ! I wish I could unheard it all and hear them again especially the Velvet songs. The Red releases took me at least 2 listens to get into fully and Bop to them, so I'd like to keep them as it is :D

[@cactiguide]

@@Lyf4rMusic that’s true about most of the red for me too now that you mention it. I think because they are always so unique that you just don’t know what you are hearing at first. But they definitely grow on you.

[@starhwas]

man i am never going to forget the chaos that was entering bad boy era the teasers alone were SO GOOD

[@dippyface357]

God it's so fun to see people experience these classics for the first time. Seulgi in Bad Boy era 😬 also btw if you watch Peekaboo, Feel My Rhythm, and Wildstyle you will go crazy guaranteed

[@zombiem]

I was surprised you hadn’t heard bad boy considering it’s one of their most popular songs, but your reaction made me so glad you hadn’t 😂

[@juanfbi99]

Bad boy is such a great song they even made it in English, i remember when everyone knew the song when they came to the U.S , it was the best time of my life watching them live, that's why bad boy is my number 1 song from Red velvet plus other songs either from the b-sides or Main tittle tracks , i love Red velvet, SM might not be the best label but they know how to make really amazing music,

[@nanda6473]

I'm loving these reactions to their mvs, hope you guys hear some bsides of them after seeing all the mvs

[@megagene]

No, they definitely still rap a lot. Their latest mini album is full of some of their best raps yet.

[@kbsuperfly24]

I love watching reactors react to Red Velvet for the first time because every luvies dream is to go back in time and relive discovering Red Velvet; there is nothing like it. Red Velvet will forever be the Kpop group with the most diverse discography!!! And you must listen to their B-Sides... they are even better than their title tracks. Seulgi is the ULT in KPOP for reference!!!!

[@staceejaxx3071]

Rookie has one of the best energetic and fun coreographys of RV. When they were promoting that song ir was such an amazing Time. Love Irene 💖

[@Aiizen.]

I must say, RV is one of the girl groups with the strongest vocal line to be honest. If you listen to their B-sides, you will be amazed because all their B-sides are wild... I suggest for the future, don't forget to react to their peekaboo song. Own RV Sub Unit Consisting of "Irene Ft.Seulgi" MONSTER & NAUGHTY Trust me They never let us down :)

The B-sides are all masterpiece i guarantee you, you wont get bored . And dont forget the Japanese released too such as Cookie Jar, Sappy, Wildside

[@YoshiPotter88]

OH MY GOODNESS YES YES YES!! I clicked so fast when I saw the notification, y'all I've been waiting for you guys to check these out (I wasn't expecting for y'all to check out Bad Boy yet but pop off)- dude Russian Roulette was INSANE when I first saw it my jaw dropped because of how iconic it was but also the way they were trying kill each other (they also really love killing men which again iconic) and their looks were great, I was going to have another guide but you guys kind of figured them out already which is great. Dude Rookie was not my favorite I mean it still isn't but it DEFINITELY grew on me and yeah it sounds like they're saying Lookie and Nookie but it's fine- 🤣😂 And Bad Boy was one of the first songs I've heard from them I think my first actually and man IT'S AMAZING just everything about it is fantastic and let me just say VERY Gay, literally everyone looked good in here my jaw was on the floor (not to mention at the end Yeri and Wendy were wearing shirts saying Meow and Cherry... that's not sus-) also if you guys translate the phrase on the book it says "These are not lips" or "These are not face lips" or something on those lines I'm not entirely sure, and at 22:38 I was waiting for that reaction to the JoyRene kiss again ICONIC- and yes I agree with you guys with everything like they all look good and Yeri with that hair we need that hair from her more often she rocked it, Irene looked freaking Gorgeous and her in that truck man I was panicking, Seulgi JUST WOW and that move that she did umm again wow, Joy looked freaking amazing and her in all of those fishnets I was dying, and Wendy with that hair and her green eyes just STUNNING and don't get me started on the vocals! Just everything about these Music Videos were great- anyways I can't wait for you guys to react to more Red Velvet such as more Music Videos, B - Sides, Live Performances, Covers, Dance Practices, Moments, and of course Ships! I can't wait for more Content from you guys and I hope that you both are doing well and staying safe and healthy! P.S. If you ever need any good Videos I could totally help you out if you need it!

[@tonyn1628]

Bad Boy is my fav Red Velvet song bc of the more mature concept with the R&B sound.

[@xheralt]

You are the first reactors to ever notice and comment on Joy's "blonde ombre" in Russian Roulette. I hadn't caught that, despite many viewings of MV and reactions!

[@RBrrzz10]

from Rookie to Bad Boy what a Duality Queen 💗💛💙💚💜

[@toddhancock20]

If you like blonde Yeri, you definitely need to watch the Red Flavor MV

[@Alex-gy8oh]

I gasped when you guys said you haven't heard or watched the legendary Bad boy omfg this song 😩 the fits??? 😩Legendary

[@powbobs]

Irene is known as “the original visual “.

[@Okkta_09]

The more you find out about Red Velvet, the more you will fall in love with them♡

[@carpemortem155]

Russian roulette and bad boy were 2 of the red velvet songs I knew before starting this journey with you and both are amazing, some of my faves so far for sure

[@Raidanzoup]

2017's Rookie was when a lot of Luvies learned the word "kitsch". I remember an early reaction pointed to one of the tops in the video that says "tacky" on it, but they're wearing expensive designer threads in this MV lol. Well, and the usual Frankenstein's mishmash of fabrics.

[@deemasalang4147]

If you want to know more of their personalities and their 'chaotic energy' you should do the favorite fanmade content series of the fandom which is called "Red Velvet: A Mess" by bubbleflexe. This is like a compilation of notable moments of their vlive, iglive, and level up project special live. One episode shows the highlights of that certain live so one episode is a compilation per live that they do. The 1-3 episodes are more like about their reality project but trust me. AS THE EPISODE PROGRESSES, SO AS THE CONTENT. hope you can do this after you finish the mvs and their bsides. This is actually a gem to thefandom. There are episodes that cant be uploaded to yt and is posted on gdrive of bubbleflexe but trust me, do not skip those, because those are one of the funniest and best episodes. Hope you can read this somehow. Thank you for loving our cake girls!

[@diplup9313]

Tbh, I don't think Red Velvet care too much about rapping; they just rap if they have to. Singing is their main focus.

[@coffee-at-twelve]

It would not be a Red Velvet video if there will be no RV in the round table and/or looking at us in a blank piercing stare. Right ReVeLuvs ❤💛💙💚💜

If u remember the "Vivi trend" it's a tiktok trend that went viral after a video of a member from Loona named Vivi was dancing to Red Velvet's Russian Roulette, but instead of Russian Roulette the audio was changed into a tiktok audio, it was so funny because tiktokers who said kpop was trash was basically dancing to a choreo made by a kpop group 😂

[@cvkl7895]

Also as a heads up, some of their songs has a slight undertone of murder or horror even if it's their red concept. Most of the time, Irene is the one orchestrating the whole scenario in the music video.

[@lohgr]

Irene the visual of Kpop! *cheff kiss*

[@ayo845]

honestly you're so smart with the ball part cause i never caught that but yes you're right theres like a story behind it and how the ball is that pink teddy from happiness and stuff, they have a whole comic on it on red velvets instagram

[@gitsyazahira]

Uh nooo, u guys definitely need to see Peek A boo MV!!! you'll not regret it 🤣

[@Lyf4rMusic]

I think from 'Russian Roulette' era, they've been releasing titles with mixed concept of Red & Velvet... In the sense like, Bright sounding songs but darker visuals or concept undertones beneath the MVs !

[@Okkta_09]

the 'Russian Roulette' dance was once viral on tiktok. Irene who doesn't like her purple hair. 'Rookie' is one of the many red velvet songs that is difficult to cover. And one of the legendary performances from Rookie was when they appeared on a music show, but the mic Seulgi used didn't work properly. This incident proved that they were singing live. And for 'Bad Boy' it made them even more famous, even red velvet made an English version. little information if In November 2019 Billboard crowned red velvet as "the best idol group alive".

[@juliana_melo]

I think I never thought of Red Velvet as a cute group, like not even for a second. They could realease cute song after cute song, and my mind would say "there is something different here, something deeper and darker", and I absolutely LOVE them for that. When bad boy released I said "yes, that's it. This is ReVe".

[@taeng9seul]

idk if you know this but red velvet also known as cult velvet. every of their music video has a table

[@barronanderson569]

Bad Boy is a bop. One of my favorite songs from them

[@Janis7531]

Rookie is a straight up weird mv. You should definitely watch their dance practice or live version of that song. Is sooo much fun.

[@MrK-bh8sd]

Many has speculate that Red Velvet has a cult vibe concept as all their songs are addicting and the way they always sit in a round table and have blank expression. Plus their lore is crazy as a group.

[@snowfairy9994]

They have Bad Boy english version. Wendy and Yeri helped writing the lyrics. You should listen to that as well. It is soooo good.

[@SevPOOTS]

I never really liked Russian Roulette at first listen but when I first got to the Disco Dance break @ 7:23 I was sold on the song.

[@markkostecki4558]

I love the MV for Russian Roulette being this cute fun song but the MV about them trying to kill eachother lmao

Crazy thing about their mvs is that even though the mv looks fun, its actually has wierd and creepy energy to it. Take Red Flavor and Umpah Umpah for example. Uhmm.. there has meaning on those but ill comment again once you have watch them, I dont want to spoil the fun haha.

[@soft_forms21]

Hello! Thanks for reacting to RV. i really enjoy your videos :') You're right! I think they rap less in their title tracks and the rappers have shifted from irene & joy (in ice cream cake) to mostly irene & yeri. Joy still raps in some b tracks though, and the other members have a bit of rap lines in recent songs. I also like yeri's voice. The more you listen to b-sides and color-coded lyric videos the more you appreciate each member's unique tone. And of course wendy!!! my fav girl

[@trust211-g2x]

Please react red velvet milky way . Thats song so gorgeous, the harmony unpredictable. So so good.

That's why Red velvet is the real Concept Queens bcz they never repeat the same concept, if you have watched their all mvs then you would know why I am talking like this also they are vocal, Visual queens, you won't be bored by watching their mvs and performance bcz their choreographies of their songs are also good and at the same time hard too👍❤💛💙💚💜

I love that I googled "Yeri Solar" to see how much they look alike (very similar) and one of my top hits was favorite female idols as voted by lesbian and bisexual women in Korea - spoiler: every single member of Red Velvet _and_ Mamamoo made the top 15. Taste!

[@ParkJinDev]

I would like to suggest the ultimate subunit of MAMAMOO. Solar & Moonbyul that made a cover named “Promise U” which was an external producer / studio who “hired” them to make the cover. Also, since you love the goofy side of MAMAMOO you might love “AZE GAG” and “Pokèmon OST” where they made their own take on it during a fan meet.

[@abner3857]

Also, Rookie it's not the taste of everyone but the B-sides are fire, Especially Body Talk

[@powbobs]

Irene does not like that song.

[@segazora]

Blonde Yeri is absolutely her best look in my opinion.

[@ayyjac6997]

About the raps, they had a pretty solid period without raps but now they may sneak in a Irene/Yeri rap in a few title tracks but most of their raps are in their bsides usually from Irene/Yeri/Joy and as of most recently Wendy too.

[@milkmilk9685]

wait to see you react to SM artist all of them have amazing vocals , amazing harmonize, amazing MV you will like it , I'm sure

[@nikkipaige272]

The best thing about the Russian Roulette MV is that they’re all trying to kill once another 😂 Also rookie is a very… unpopular song among reveluvs… but personally it’s one of my favorites. It’s so fun and weird and the vocals slay
