Back when this came out it was very uncommon for a girl group to have a comeback concept like this. The disconnect between the MV and the song kind of shows the struggle of trying to keep the girls' image public friendly and trying to match the intensity of the song. If this was to come out now the music video would be entirely different. f(x) was always about a year or two ahead of trends in kpop then SM just stopped caring about the group and switched the experimental concept to Red Velvet.

The Report Card Podcast the experimental concept was not switched to Red Velvet. I don’t know where this narrative keeps coming from since you can find this sort of thing in SNSD Suju etc. They were always to have the Red/Velvet concept hence debuting with Happiness and using S.E.S’s old song Be Natural to show their different sides. Yeri was added to round out the group since it’s easier to make cool choreo for an odd number of members and she was ready to debut and they knew they weren’t going to debut another girl group soon. f(x) is on hiatus because of various reasons that people should look into themselves without continually spouting the narrative that Red Velvet took their place somehow.

Red Light is full of symbolism. f(x) up to the point of this video was known by 2 different concepts that SM projected them as Flower Girls (pretty/beautiful girls) or the Math Function. The flower exploding is saying they no longer want to be considered by the Flower Girls concept (thus the fandom name of MeU which is based on Me and You but also on the MATH function "µ" ) The now famous Half Face they wear in the video symbolizes how the Media see them (the make up side) and who they really are (the non make up side). The song itself says to STOP take a look at your life and reflect on the things you've done. There are other symbols in the song like the infant cat at the beginning with the 2 different color eyes and the adult cat near the end with the same color eyes. The opening of the burning book at the beginning and the closing of the book at the end. The phone ringing at the beginning and end (a wake up call) the military clothing and working in formation to them breaking rank and running away in the military clothing, etc. It is a song about transition. Basically telling everyone to wake up. That they are not the typical cutesy Kpop group and don't want to be look at that way anymore. They have always been different (Amber for example) but got lumped into the rest of Kpop. They are/were always more popular outside of Korea than in Korea. They were 2nd only to SNSD (Girls Generation) in sales but you wouldn't have known that by KZbin view counts on their videos. They were ahead of their time and NOW Kpop has several groups that use a lot of upbeat heavy bass music. But it seemed that Korea wanted them with the more traditional Kpop look and sound like SNSD.

I think SM wouldn't let them go as far as they initially wanted to on the video due to the lyrics already being a bit risky politically. They didn't want to seemingly condone actual violence like some eco-warriors, but still wanted the video's symbolism to convey the lyrics' meaning that the call to action is being ignored by many. (The burning book being closed instead of dealt with, the phone ringing & the red warning light both being ignored, the cat's cries being ignored, one of the girls' eyes being covered in almost every shot of them, etc.)

Hi friends! :) I think you're right about this -- the song and the video don't totally match. I think you might enjoy the live stage of the song, the "rock version" they did in the "docking station" concert. You don't have to react to it or anything -- just check it out for your own enjoyment. The Docking Station concert is on Daily Motion. This is from after Sulli left so there are only 4 of them but they rock it just like that. Anyway I just think the version the ydo is so good. They look hot (when don't they?) and Luna gets to actually SING that high note like the queen she is.
