Red Velvet 레드벨벳 'Cosmic' MV REACTION

[@morela58]

releasing a music video inspired by "midsommar" during actual midsummer is so iconic, red velvet we love you ☀💖

[@GhostCatFromHell]

the thing is, a lot of the scenes from the MV remind of scenes from the movie

[@alrightloves]

What is midsommar? Like, I know there is a movie about it but what is the tradition? Is it just dancing around with flower hats? Lmao

[@jasonmendoza8303]

You should know that it also inspired by The sandman!!

[@TofuTofu007]

​@@alrightloves you should watch the whole movie about it to understand the tradition better or you can just google it. The movie is really good though so u should watch it👍🏽

I started crying at the bridge and just couldn't stop till the enddd

Same here 🥺

[@camillasmith9795]

I also love the fact that the Moonshine, the composers, are Swedish.

[@michaelar2188]

Also, isn’t ABBA Swedish?? Bc it’s also giving an ABBA mixed with midsommar plus their own red velvet sound

[@camillasmith9795]

@@michaelar2188 it's ultimately a Swedish k-pop crossover we didn't know we needed

[@djlovesmusic]

Very very ABBA. Swedish composer, Swedish event. Opening illustration is like what you see on a classic tarot card. Tarot cards used in teaser.

[@95zrealme37]

Wholesome!

[@jennelmariano114]

[@mellowsagre1424]

This is the decade comeback and its worth it. The song sounds fit whatever mood

[@oohEuphoria]

With Chill Kill and now this, they have manifested their final sonic form.

[@kavsarchives6779]

this comment !!

[@moodyangel]

It’s just… it’s otherworldly. I can get lost in Seulgi’s runs. I cannot believe this comeback. It’s everything I love about RV.

[@zeronyne]

Massive ABBA vibes for sure. I'm so glad RV is only taking things from the current meta (sci fi) that still fit into their concept. And their chord changes are so specific to Red Velvet...I think that's what you are hearing in terms of its similarity to old works...not that the chords are the same, but that they use changes not normally heard in today's very R&B-focused KPop. I think they will always be the group that exemplifies the cutting edge of KPop without trying to escape KPop.

[@EmilioCuervo777]

And Bowie early years nostalgia (Life on Mars)

[@zeronyne]

@@EmilioCuervo777 I hadn’t thought about that. It would be interesting to see a revival of the very late 60s and early 70s, but KPop would most likely turn it into a cartoon, unfortunately, rather than a true tribute.

[@PeaceB825]

Red Velvet made their own cult. Well. We should say they are the CULTURE, and it's COSMIC.

[@Lyf4rMusic]

The fact that they released this MV right on the actual arrival dates of Midsommar is just so cool :) ... Like the fact when RBB was released on the 30th anniversary of MJ's Thriller too.

[@yumi602]

Red Velvet also did that with FMR, they released the MV during Bach's birthday (the composer of air on g string, sampled by rv for FMR)

[@Lyf4rMusic]

@@yumi602 oh yes, how did I forgot that !

[@nozekangbae9427]

Actually, my theory is that Red Velvet was actually in that place as the Higher leaders, and also the ones who bring the sacrifices. Look at Seulgi trying to catch that girl just to kill her, or sacrifice her.

[@minjunchoi6252]

EXACTLY AND THEN HANGING THE BODIES IN THE TREE

[@yerimieseismyluv]

I also think that seulgi is the MAY QUEEN

[@fukuaaa]

they neither killed nor sacrificed her because you can see her circling around the maypole along with the members

[@Samuel-hu8uk]

⁠@@yerimieseismyluv I am 99.9% sure that she the may queen

[@95zrealme37]

​@@minjunchoi6252that hanging scene is really creepy the first time i watched it🥶

[@starryends]

The song is so good, I cant get over it its on repeat 😭

[@Lyf4rMusic]

SAME ! I just can't get enough of it

[@Amles1980]

This is iconic! And as a swede, having their 10th anniversary being inspired by midsummer is just too much. The flowers under the pillow is an old tradition (which a lot of people still practice tho, but nowadays it’s mostly a lovely festive day celebrating the lightest day of the year with flower wreaths on your head, dance and good food!

[@kobalt_97]

Red Velvet 10th Anniversary ! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 Kenzie and Moonshine done it again

[@Lyf4rMusic]

SM and their history of delaying the MV releases for Red Velvet... Ahh, a classic one ! They wanted us to experience all the bad and unwanted moments of 10 years promotions too I guess 😑

[@uc6758]

By history, RV’s delayed MVs are the most succesful ones 😂

[@denilewis903]

I even didn't realize this fact... Could you help to list what the RV MVs that always delayed to be released? So frustrating to wait this MV released ytd, until 45min-ish hfttt ​@@uc6758

[@qazielynn2580]

​@@uc6758what? It's always been delayed since Monster you can't exactly say those were their best eras accdg to reception (FMR is another Magnum Opus man (contending with Psycho) why on Earth was FMR and Chill Kill so slept on I mean Birthday too but I see why it isn't for everyone lmao) Anyway I need an encore or Cosmic I'd be so sad if they don't get to sing it without any backing tracks and processing at all this entire comeback pleasaaseeee

[@reneeaquino1790]

​@qazielynn2580 um actually ☝️🤓 Red Flavor was the first MV to be delayed

[@akosicvy]

yes!!! as an avid fan of abba, i also got abba vibes! never expected my two faves two come together in such a cosmic way.

[@__LALISA__WORLDWIDENUMBERONE]

This song is absolutely a masterpiece. RV members never dissapoints us.

[@peteartieda58]

Cosmic having disco/dance pop/funk elements really fit the summer vibe without going to the typical tropical sound that's been used in kpop. The ABBA and Mamamia connections you pointed out makes so much sense as well! What I noticed as I watched your reaction is that there are dance parts here that are done with seriousness vs the joyous feel of midsommar. I think Seulgi and Irene have dance parts that look like ritual movements.

[@meloste1234]

This is the comeback of this year…. U say whatever u say, this is my galaxy

[@odd1545]

This song actually made my eyes water. Only two groups have made that happen. This MV actually makes you fall in love with them, if you haven't already. The ABBA connection is the organ synth. I hear it too. I absolutely love this song. Many groups can perform this song, but NO ONE else can sing it so skillfully.

[@psyche_26]

the song wants me to dance but at some point as the song goes on it became emotional and magical, I love the 'midsommar' references & ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL BRIDGE WAS INVENTED

[@tobenyeolievivihunie9538]

One of Cosmic's main producer, Moonshine, is Swedish! Maybe that's why it reminded you a bit of Abba?

[@Lyf4rMusic]

Cazzieopeia, right ? :)

[@mrcak2]

Gurl the song is majestic. Everything is chef’s kiss. I cried ❤

[@jomills4103]

Glad I'm not the only one who got ABBA vibes. Such a gorgeous song and MV - and the red outfits had me GAGGED ❤️❤️❤️

[@angelicalacerna8582]

OMG I’ve been trying to pinpoint what the song reminds me of and when you said ABBA, it immediately clicked. That is so true! And it made the song so much more beautiful for me. Because I love Red Velvet and I love ABBA. It’s like the best of both worlds.❤

[@Fahaza95]

It's so funny watching seulgi keep running and chasing the flannel girl lol 😂

[@coleg6226]

I swear while listening to this song i feel like I’m floating and emotional. We love you Red Velvet!!

[@stefb95]

omg I think you're so right about the abba reference! the mv is inspired by midsommar which is from sweden but the song is also produced by Moonshine who are swedish!

[@cherrybloom8560]

Its not a red velvet comeback without an mv delay 😂😢😢😢 iknew this would happen

[@Carlie-nf7or]

I really wished they did something more sentimental for their 10th year anniversary, but this song/mv was everything😍😍😍

[@Lunafreya_Nox]

Actually lots and lots of kpop now have the same or something redundant music style in kpop ... And Red velvet is ahead of their time red velvet made different concept nor different frm the rest... if red velvet was inspired to do this MV just to be different frm the rest of KPOP DISCOGRAPHY and THEME then I wouldn't mind. And besides in today's generation its hard to create and think more wide CONCEPT thats so different frm the rest. And red velvet did this, Very very different and the most beautiful ever KPOP MV frm a grp esp girl group, they dethroned FEEL MY RYTHM.... Edit: Remember that ever since FMR classiacal inspired released Following of the rest groups trying to recreate too but ofc kpop did that b4 comes frm SM group too but yet it was forgotten again few years after then RV made it back then THE REST FOLLOW. if RV would made an MV inspired frm a MOVIE I'm sure months after REST OF KPOP GROUPS WILL TRY TO MADE THAT TOO...

[@samuelrumba]

It feels like final dance number at the end of a movie haha

[@MarkusFeindt1]

@@Lunafreya_NoxHonestly I stopped listen to so many kpop groups bc their companies pushes this mainstream bullshit down onto every kpop group and at some point all songs sound the same 😕

[@aaelr.740]

The melody is actually VERY sentimental. The chorus clearly shows that. And if you play this song on the piano for example, the song sounds very sad ❤

[@kn95xo]

@@Lunafreya_Nox yeeeeeees! smtown artists are not followers. they're the trendsetters.

I loved your reaction and I was waiting for it. I know you love Red Velvet. For me, this is their best song for the last 3 comebacks ❤

[@SynapseCyberpunk]

Thank you so much for pointing out the ABBA influence!

[@slaystinn]

This is the perfect counterpart to Chill Kill with the vocally heavy and compact chorus melodies and production except with Cosmic, there is some nu-disco influence, such as the groovy backbeat in the verses. Cosmic is very Nuest but female ver.

[@Leehan_fish]

I truly love this comeback

[@nur-bo8yl]

omg the song definitely giving ABBA!! that's why it feels so nostalgic i love it!

[@vrei5618]

I see the connection here. Midsummer is a festival in Sweden, Midsommar is a movie with themes of midsummer, ABBA is from Sweden, and Moonshine (the song producers) are also from Sweden.

[@morela58]

the songs kinda reminds me of abba as well!! so youre not alone in that haha

[@niatozaki]

same!! took me a second lol it sounded very nostalgic

I don't just skip your reaction video straight to the video, I always watch it from start to finish. It's really nice to hear your comments in every mv reaction 😊

[@Alexander-u7e3z]

PLEASE react to chuus strawberry rush and the performance video. the song is so good but the CHOREO?!!!! honestly one of the best choreos of this year!!

[@jimidanan]

IMO, sacrifice/chased person (call it whatever she is), is the Reveluv, the thread symbolises our bond/connection with Red Velvet.

[@hwangrainbow]

ngl im crying listening to this song.. it just beautiful and creepy at the same time

[@rogerm.f.r2628]

It's just me or somoene who feel same that the bridge hit different for me! Fells so touching🫶😫

[@babieangeljeno1656]

If Psycho and Feel My Rhythm had a baby = Cosmic

[@Casper745]

Red Velvet Always Making Music that Always surpass you're expectations I'm really surprised so members didn't sign individual Solo contracts with other Labels

[@surapossaneha6939]

i really like your facial expression during the bridge part. It's so pure and genuine

[@jimm.6542]

I’ve been putting off watching Midsommar for years. RV just convinced me to watch it immediately. Just when I thought they were riding off into the sunset, they show they’re on top of their game and have more superior music to give. Mad respect for these ladies!

[@jimm.6542]

I’ve listened to the entire EP more than once and it’s a thumbs up again for RV! The one two punch of Wendy and Seulgi is evident throughout and the trademark layered harmonies puts me in a comfortable place and that’s how RV always puts us. I’m glad SM is letting them push through 10 years and hopefully more. 🙏🏾

[@210-ws9kk]

If you watched the MIDSOMMAR movie, then you’ll know how much this MV was inspired by it, it’s amazing, love the creepy vibe mixed with the bright ish sounding melody, what Red Velvet does best❤

[@lisamiroh]

Your reactions are always so interesting! Even for songs that I don't particularly like, like this one. Keep it up! 🥰

[@st4rbuk]

I was thinking abba influence also in the chorus. I love the mixing of two different decades of music which we all know Red Velvet excel at with Feel my rhythm etc

[@oluwashinaomisanya7487]

I love a colorful but also strong concept and a creepy concept is everything we need in K-pop to shake up the boring

[@SM-ky6pb]

I've never heard a kpop song with abba or europop influences before and this song really got me playing it back to back. It sounds so ethereal and the chorus especially is giving dancing queen vibes

[@bronymon08]

its not pertaining to the midsommar festival but the movie lol its a must watch!!

[@LoveYourself97846]

8:32 Yeah, the bridge especially makes me think of Mamma Mia every time so, yeah, it reminds me of ABBA too

[@amira.i228]

the mv and song is so majestic and spectacular that i feel like i'm under a spell everytime i listen to it and i'm dumb so i can't think of any theory but anyways this comeback is AMAZING

[@masqueradeee]

This song feels nostalgic, mesmerizing and so captivating.

[@juniorsousa8235]

I love Midsommar 2 trailer

[@seasonsoflove9507]

This song really does give off ABBA vibes, which makes me love it even more. Red Velvet never fails to impress me

[@HanniPham]

the bridge reminds me of something, I just can't remember 😭

[@lovemattsson2669]

The mv is more inspired by the horror movie/show midsommar, but it’s also obv something we celebrate. As for the look into the future part, I’ve never heard of that and I celebrate it every year 😭

[@jimidanan]

I won't be surprised if they sampled ABBA because they did sampled Dancing Queen for Red Flavor. 😇

[@totydely-br5014]

MV is inspired by Midsommar (the movie). The film is inspired by a Swedish tradition of celebrating the summer solstice. The summer solstice is the most lovely and familiar tradition of Sweden, its original country, everyone is in a good mood. Fairycore, mysterious forest vibrations, etc. It is also the largest holiday in Sweden, only a few countries celebrate this beyond Swedish, and is celebrated in very different ways depending on the country. But the film was specifically inspired by Midsommar in Sweden, which is what they make reference in MV. Traditions between countries have some difference and similarities. Like: Belarus, Poland and Finland, which is the greatest similarities in the original traditions of Sweden. Even having a company that is not giving due value to these divas, and even with low budget they have turned powder into gold, and still proved once again, with a million views in 3 hours, which must be much more while posting this), to confirm that they are the best group of live idols. Red velvet you will always be unique !! ❤🌺🌹🌼🌸🌻🪴🌹🌺👏👏👏

This music video and song makes me want to rewatch the movie-- No one does cult concept better than Red velvet!!

[@haojiang2403]

I think many people misinterpreted the reference of Midsommar, too much attentions on the horror thing, but the message of this song is "be with us", at beginning they are excited when someone/anyone fall into RV's world, to the end they have this big festivities, also lyric like "stay a little longer ... riding your rhythm .. come with me... love is cosmic.." It's perfect song for their 10th anniversary, and now it's my No.1 RV song, like it more than Psycho and Kingdom come

[@navarrozayzerjake]

I really recommend watching Midsommar. It will all makes sense.

[@riffgroove]

Thjs song makes me want to binge-listen my big sister's ABBA records. Love it.

[@dsono]

YES YES YESS when you said "is that a little bit of ABBA in here?" it clicked right in me, the chorus is the type of melody ABBA would go to!! No wonder this song immediately hooked me in, that bittersweet mellow disco feel along with the choir & the strings in the background, also the lyrics! AAAHHHH I love this comeback so much! Thank you so much for the review

No skip, no pause, react on point, knowing the subject. I really really enjoyed ur react video❤ its like watching the mv with friend.

[@binny_binbin]

I LOVED this song and the video! I loved that it switches from minor to major keys, it sounds hopeful, but also eerie. It's visually beautiful, but the story's twisted. My fav genre of RV next to R&B baddies. But aside from all that, I really do wish SM took their 10th anniversary more seriously. I hate seeing 3rd gen gg's be left out as if they're irrelevant or something.

[@nhidang9978]

As an ABBA fan living in Sweden who just celebrated Midsommar last Friday, I'm so happy to see the Swedish vibe in the images and music this time.
