She was 28 when she recorded this song. The song is about accepting that one's inner darkness is an essential part of ourselves and just as responsible for our successes as the 'good', the 'polite', the 'compliant', and the selfless parts of our selves. Hence the 28 reasons to be disappointed with ourselves - 28 years of experiences.
You really should watch the trailer for this... it's a cinematic experience in itself. It's seriously kinda wild the amount of production that went into it, feels more like a short film than a trailer.
in the last scene where white seulgi was looking at the camera i wished if in the last like 3 seconds of that shot they would add black seulgi with bangs showing up or poking up right behind her and standing next to her on her left side and glaring at the camera like they would do in horror scenes where they show the ghost standing behind the person on the left side (right side to viewer) before a jumpscare or sth it would've been INSANE. but either ways this song is my absolute fav kpop song and i love it even more because seulgi is my bias in red velvet 💛 (I'm an OT5 but seulgi just hits the right spot tbh)
a few additional bits: 1. The field and power transmission pylon scene was filmed on Daebudo Island. 2. The hanging shots and fort dance scenes were filmed in Taean near Seosan. 3. Seulgi gave explanation about the meaning of the title to Sunmi on Showterview - “You know, when you are in love with someone, as much as you care about them, you also wanna mess with them as a kid. I’m 28 now. I have 28 reasons why I love you, and I wanna mess with you, but it’s a little hardcore.” Some of it comes from boys at school pranking Seulgi playing Gomujulnori (look it up!!). 4. The video is designed as fully metaphorical not narrative driven. 5. The bangs Seulgi has in the black outfit are clip in!! 6. The choreo in the video is devised as much as the editing. It was done by Seulgi to be totally different for verses and for the chorus. (Some of it filmed at a much slower playback speed) 7.On the transition from white outfit Seulgi in the field to black n white footage with dust storm, Seulgi was actually covered in dust in the first shot to match it going to the black n white shot !! 5. Irene and Wendy visited Seulgi on set and brought donuts. Also almost Seulgi's entire family - mum, dad, cousin and 3 aunts all visited her filming and hired multiple food and coffee trucks for her and the crew!!
YESSSS my favourite woman in the world (as you can see in my username lmao)!!! My favourite dancer in kpop too and the tone of her voice is ethereal. Thank you so much for reacting to her
Red Velvet is a group that has Trailers for some of their songs! They are all horror themed too! seulgi had one for this album, then there is one for the "Chill Kill" album, and one for "Cosmic" which you already heard! i know it isn't much for a song reaction but you might really enjoy reacting to a short short film (about 2 minutes each no talking) please consider watching if you end up watching more red velvet!! if you want more of seulgi being a badass id recommend the red velvet subunit "Irene and Seulgi" and their songs "Monster" or "Naughty"
Red Velvet is a premier group. Their talents are on another level as a group or as subunits or individuals. Their editing is top notch. Their production is unmatched. Watch the 28 Reason trailer to see the outstanding promos of Red Velvet. The whistling will give you goosebumps. They are all aces, vocals, dancing, acting….
I've been waiting for your reaction to this MV since it was requested on Discord. Gutted I missed the live when you did. You didn't disappoint! You gave me the reaction I wanted and more. I knew you would like it. She blew my mind and it was instant love and add to my playlist since. Love love love HER!💜
Wow dude. I've been listening to and loving this song since it dropped and you just made an amazing song infinitely better for me. Thank you! What a great breakdown. I have to sub and watch more videos that was too good.
The editing of this music video is so good, and I love a song that has a satisfying sonic texture, which this song has throughout. I love the album as a whole, and I think they chose the perfect title track for it.
One thing I love about this performance is the vocal grit she adds in the 1st time she sings "make your _dreams_ come true..." Sadly, she doesn't do it in any of the live versions of this, that I've seen
We saw the tongue!! I share your extasy regarding this song. NCT's Doyoung had a badass cover for this song, this is how I heard it first. It is a wonder how can you realize so many details in such a short time. Kudos!

Glad you like it!
Legit Most talented kpop idol in korea .. Seulgi
I love it when a video gets you hyped. This was so good. I always took the outward injuries as an internal struggle esp with that quote at the end.
Excellent analysis of the MV from your perspective ! Absolutely loved it :)
The editing of this music video is so good, and I love a song that has a satisfying sonic texture, which this song has throughout. I love the album as a whole, and I think they chose the perfect title track for it.
I LOVE SEULGI❤❤
Watching this when its been uploaded 28 minutes ago lol
the Location is real. Other MVs are shoot here to.
Dreamcatcher - Bon Voyage
LE SSerafim - Antifragile
On stage Seulgi is powerful, but in real life is considered kindest in kpop, people joking on stage she is 5G, but 3G off stage
I love the way she always bursts into tears when she laughs too hard.
We often refer to Seulgi as "Red Velvet's secret weapon."
It's no secret.
One thing I love about this performance is the vocal grit she adds in the 1st time she sings "make your _dreams_ come true..." Sadly, she doesn't do it in any of the live versions of this, that I've seen
