2 hours of straight Red Velvet goodness. My favorite MV was Automatic. As long as you listen to their B-sides, I'm cool with whatever. Yeri's my bias & Irene's the bias wrecker btw
25:19 Theory is that 'One of These Nights' is a tribute to the Sewol ferry incident. Highschool students went on a trip to Jeju island but on the way back the ship they were on sunk, killing 304 people, all of them being students and only 70 students survived. The captain of the ship told the students not to move but he himself got out the ship in time and survived leaving the teenagers to drown. On the album cover, Yeri’s face is blurred because she’s the same age as the victims of the incident. If you watch the MV 'One Of These Nights', Yeri is lying down on the boat and many theories said that she ended up drowning. The first scene represents the students getting ready for the day like any other day not knowing what's about to happen that day. Joy climbing up the ladder represents the few people that survived the tragedy, seulgi looking out the window shows the students not being able to do anything/not knowing how to escape, Wendy representing those who listened to the captain and did nothing, Irene representing the students that were in shock (the sudden water flowing in the ship). If you want to know all the scenes in details there's a few very good vids about it on youtube.
@@KELVII Contrast this with f(x)'s "Red Light", which was likewise a reaction to the same disaster...but in their case was the anger, the "pay attention to what's going on!" aspect of the public sentiment.
That's a really great theory! It makes a lot of sense. I heard it was inspired by an old folktale (the 7 meaning the seventh day of a festival or something?) but I honestly like this interpretation and will now think of that whenever i listen lol
The song itself isn't about the incident. The video may be about the Sewol disaster, but it could just be coincidental. Being a sad song naturally makes it seem more likely, whether it is the case or not. The members themselves don't seem to treat it that way, as there's a video where they joke about the scenes (such as Wendys 'no eyebrows' with red hair), though perhaps the director / set designer etc intended it that way. As alluded to by Catz1a the song is said to be based on Chilseok - the folk story/myth of Jiknyeo and Gyeonwu, a couple who can only see each other once a year, and which directly relates to the title and lyrics(including being across the Milky Way, 'just for a minute') Apparently it stem from China, and is also observed in Japan & Vietnam. I suppose all the water in the video could perhaps also refer to this aspect of the story = "It is said that it rains on the night of July 7th because the sad couple cry a lot when they have to bid farewell to each other." This date(7 July being 7/7) is also around when their wet season starts. Likewise the seperation between(doors, windows etc) and drifting apart(on the boat) of people in the video. English translation of lyrics: www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/redvelvet/77oneofthesenights.html Chilseok: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilseok The Sewol disaster was horrendous, a string of bad choices all the way along, from boat modifications that shouldn't have been done, a top heavy load, possibly poor sailing, terrible handling by the captain, and abysmally inadequate rescue efforts by the government, etc. It's not accurate that all the victims were students though, but mostly were - about 250 it seems. Crew and teachers also died, including a teacher that could've escaped but died helping students on a lower level. Sadly the vice principal, and a recovery diver also committed suicide afterwards.
wendy hitting them notes, irene turning into a monster or seulgi dancing.... everything is GRACIOUS seulgi is my bias though.. i have the BIGGEST crush on her (n i am straight)
Oh yeaaah, I was waiting for this comment👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Every kpop girl group has one and only concept from the beginning, and I think they might be afraid to change but not RV❣
Yup noticed that.., that's why I don't stan girl grps now bcoz they still the same., none of them have special esp their concept and style more of they just into new world of kpop thing which they WANNA BE this&that. Somehow I like the kind of girlgrp whos different have they're own variety and unique in their style. today they're more on edm thing nor pop, Oh! I forgot why rv is much more different and unique bcoz no one in kpop do ballad, RnB, Jazz, bossa so on so forth genra. And I stan a girlgrp which stand a real vocals and musicality... In kpop now the only girlgroup alive and i stan is RV, aespa maybe but it's hardly to Stan when they just only New in music to judge somehow I want to see them more and hoping they wouldn't be like WANNA BE group like copying to those EDM, HIPHOP these days.
I mean there are some groups that are crazy with their concepts but Red Velvet is the ONLY group who always tries new genres and sounds. That's why I love them.
From start, i sang each every RedVelvet song. Feel so proud as a RedVeluv 💖💛💙💚💜. For me no bias in RedVelvet, I love all of them. They deserve all the love!
look at the girls. they grow up from 2014 to 2021 and they were pretty much changed in everything. you now watched someone's life story from the incompleted young age to the matured period, they developed themselves and evolved to carry much versatile concepts, produced insane discography and completed their presence in the industry.
I love the “1, 2, 5” in the start of Really Bad Boy cuz it’s like “one group, two concepts, five members” Also Wendy is Canadian which is why her English is so good :)
In the Power Up music video, the pineapple turns into a CD cause the girls are letting you know they eat their CDs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner which is why their live stages sound just like the studio versions
Yes the background vocals are ALWAYS theirs and that sounds unreal sometimes because their harmony is perfect (react to their cover of BoA's Milky Way, they have a lot of harmonies there)! You should listen also to their b-tracks, they are called the "b-sides queens" so I hope you will react to their albums also **3**
Seulgi is my favorite. Not only a superb vocalist, but her charisma, stage, screen presence is undeniable. But really they are ALL extremely Talented, Stunning, Classy, Sexy. And I am woman fan who can see beauty and sexiness when it slaps you in the eye. This my favorite girl group. Not only because of their incredible talent, artistry, but love the vibe of their sound, Jazzy; bluesy and R&B. My kind of music.
I think going through the discrography in order like ice cream cake mini-album then the red album etc. would be the best way because the overall quality in production of the b-sides improves overtime (although the b-sides are amazing from the very beginning with rv anyways).
Its funny cuz Seulgi and Wendy are bestfriends and they also said that even their parents were often confused abt whose voice it was between them two while listening to rv songs (:
As a Reveluv since pre debut, I am vocal of not being a fan of their title tracks but I am proud that in their years of giving hits, they are the definition of range and diversity. What I am super duper proud was their BSIDES. It just elevated the musical experience from their titles.
I only see people commenting Irene hitting the note but no one complimenting her other form that. IRENE BEST LEADER AND WE LOVE HER . I just miss all my girls but Irene 😭 we need you backkkk .
SM alway's acting like that HAPPINESS is a bright and cheerful song to show the cute and visual side of RED VELVET like AESPA with BLACK MAMBA and BE NATURAL is to show the VELVET and mature side with great vocal like AESPA and FOREVER .
I just discovered your channel and you’re so chill I love it 🤌🏻 You don’t feel the need to talk all the time and have ridiculous exaggerated reactions, you just enjoy the good work and appreciate the ride Also, you’re not the only one who got caught in Joy’s trap she’s a goddess, I feel you
Joy is my all time bias of anything ever she’s got the personality, the VOICE, stage presence (seriously watch any collab stage she’s been in she steals the stage!) , and acting (she’s been in 2 dramas!). She’s an all rounder she’s the full package! However, my bias wrecker is Seulgi- her voice is my second favorite and she’s one of the greatest dancers of the industry! All the members are great in their own right though and all their songs are god tier. They got a good mix of all genres (even jazz!) in their discography and you can tell they’re very proud of it too. I mean, there’s a reason billboard crowned them the best idol group alive in 2018. We just need their company to acknowledge their achievements and take them seriously bc they be acting like they hate them lately 😒😒 they even trended yesterday on WOMEN DAY with “where is red velvet” bc of it
IF we speak pure vocal WENDY is for sure top 5 in kpop today and with seulgi they're also top 5 vocal line in kpop toqay plus since they're début JOY and YERI improve a lote . HAPPYNESS first MV without YERI she joint the group later
Sorry but Seulgi actually isn’t in top 5 vocal. It would be Wendy, Wheein, Solar, Yuju, Hwasa and there are some more vocalists after them, but Seulgi isn’t too far behind. She’s a standard/Average vocalist which is where some main vocalist fall, so she’s still among main vocalists
@@chrissyalapo-calg9748 you didn't read me well i said WENDY IS IN TOP 5 and i said with seulgi they're in a top 5 VOCAL line to be precise my top 5 vocal line is MAMAMOO DREAMCATCHER GFRIEND RED VELVET WJSN and my top 10 vocal is SOLAR WEE-IN WENDY SIYEON YOOHYEON YUNJUNG YUJU SEJEONG HWASA JIU or EUNHA
if i’m being fully honest, there’s a bunch of red velvet songs i don’t like simply bc of the production but i still listen bc their vocals always save it. literally top tier vocals honestly
Red Velvet: What happens when there are no visual holes and the entire table is served full 5 star meal each time. How can an entire discography be perfect? 2020 was such a bad year with their absence. I felt that heavy.
I would like to introduce 4EVE of the T-POP industry. 4EVE is a girl group with good performance and 7 members. The members of the band are all talented because they have been through the competition and won a lot by competing in singing, dancing, rapping 5 shows per week. So I really want to see you react to this group.
previously marked this video under 'watch later' bcoz I was utterly shocked to see the video was 2 freaking hrs long :D .... finally got time to see it now on a sunday night ! Halfway in and you're already likable as a reactor bro... subscribed :)
Most of the riffs and background vocals are Seulgi and sometimes Wendy when she isn’t singing the song itself. Also the high pitch scream in RBB was Irene.
2 hours of Red Velvet content, wow. Watching this reminded me of how unmatched their discography, and how I strongly doubt they'll be a group like them again. And, Irene is definitely my bias, and one of my ults with Dahyun, Chaeryeong, Handong and Shuhua. She's obviously beautiful and incredibly talented, but what really drew me to her is her personality. She's extremely introverted and quiet, and is often called cold or intimidating for it, but when she feels comfortable and safe she really comes out of her shell and is in reality a ridiculously caring and selfless person. And surprisingly hilarious, I really didn't expect that. Over the past 7 years everyone that's met her has always said that she takes a long time to open up, but once she feels she can trust you, she's really warm and loyal. I just really related to her, and it's the first time I've seen an Idol like that, someone who's not afraid to be themself, and someone doesn't yield to the pressures on the industry to become overly outgoing or loud. After watching her, and how she is, I felt seen and represented, like I didn't have to be ashamed of my guarded nature. She just is who she is, despite the backlash and the judgement. And she may have made a mistake, but she took complete accountability for it without questioning, and never gave her side of the story or made excuses. She just owned up to it, and did everything she could to make amends and better herself. She's just the most genuine idol I can think of, and I admire and aspire to be like that. And Seulgi is my bias wrecker, because she's the nation's bias wrecker, but I doubt anyone will pass Irene. Okay, excessive rant over. Great video!
I am not a girl group stan that much but REDVELVET & TWICE I have been a fan of this two groups since debut and Seulgi has been my bias ever since debut . I am only a fan of REDVELVET , TWICE , 2NE1 , 4MINUTE, MAMAMOO , & SISTAR I am not into the other girl groups only this groups I am more of a boy group stan I stan every boy group in kpop .
i didn't even realize that 2 hours passed, i mean, i chilled so much while seeing it. you're gracious, bro, and i really mean it! thanks for praising the girls. 😭💘
