To be fair most red velvet singles have a dark undertone or theme. Ice cream cake, natural, rookie, dumb dumb, russian roulette, peek a boo, bad boy, psycho, monster, naughty. Girl they witches hahah
Michael Jcakson songs in the rap: Beat it Bad Billie Jean Leave me alone Black or white Man in the mirror Why you wanna trip on me Scream Love never felt so good Thriller
Hey Paul! The song is about how having a crush makes them freeze up like a *mannequin and make their minds go empty and feel dumb. So while the 'dumb dumb' sound is used as a musical focus it is also literally about a situation that makes them feel dumb. It was also Rolling Stone's #9 music video of the year in 2015, so I'm glad you checked it out! (P.S. Irene and Yeri are Red Velvet's rappers)
The basic story to the M/V, when in young love, you become "dumb" when around your crush. You see so many shots that only have two colors in them because they are trying to point out the duality of your state of mind when in love. When in the factory shots, that has the meaning of being in the brain, sometimes they are times of order, and times of chaos. Not all Red Velvet M/Vs deal with murder, but check out how many times they use a table, it is referred as "Table Unnie", they also use many cars in their videos.
Agreed! But I have a i also believe the MV intentionally displays two theories. One being the one you explained, and two showing what going into the music industry is like. While yes it’s probably supposed to match the theme of the lyrics, if you do some further digging into other theories it kinda makes sense. But basically Red Velvet are the best😭
'This is so creative and so different.' That is soooo Red Velvet. What makes it exciting to stan them is not just their discography, they also have variety of concepts with different productions/mv. I was able to appreciate more details like the timing, the cloning and their great transitions because of your review.
I love the 'red' RV's songs but not so much the 'velvet' ones, therefore i didn't really listen to them.... Buttttt this is catching my attention... What other songs are psychotic like that? 😂😂
Ripy UU was meant to look low quality like the old beach movies of Frankie and Annette/Gidget. A group of friends leaving the city for a vacation, fake beach sets and fake surfing, something happens to ruin the vacation and the “movie” romance is the song itself. ReVe Festival Day 2 was a retro concept album that people overlook without realizing all of the wonderfulness in the songs!!! Like Wendy’s dolphin notes in the retro vibe that is Ladies Night were done in 1 take.
Dumb dumb (덤덤) means "being emotionless" or "being quiet" (in a situation where you shouldn't be) in Korean and the song is about you freezing or acting weird in front of someone you like. They picked a good title for this song imo lol
I've probably watched this a hundred times since its release yet I couldn't believe I still missed some of the details you pointed out 😂 It's pretty cool how seamless and quirky the editing is. You can really tell they spent a lot for the MV production! And yes that's Irene and she IS the Main Rapper so you got that right 😁
Yes, I am super interested in how to sell in a script! I find your process similar to me raising money for a startup I partially own. Your script is like my tech, the harder part isn't necessarily developing the product, it is getting an investor (in your case netflix) interested in you and what you are trying to sell.
To sum up Red Velvet’s discography is for Smart People. *Experimental group, variety of instrumentals, mixing music genres, interesting concepts & memorable stories!*
Your videos are really a learning experience into the minds of the Production side of the MVs. I'm starting to recognise the things u say when I see MVs myself :)
Good luck on the Netflix submission. Oooh RV's vids are good for this hehe they always have a slight psychological thriller/fantasy/horror feel. Gonna check other vids, I wanna see if you did their Psycho and Monster already.
ah i finally got around to watching this, i was a little too fixated on dreamcatcher's comeback to watch it before, but it's my favourite red velvet title track so i loved hearing your commentary. the song and music video honestly just never get boring.. would be interesting to see what you'd say about zimzalabim that's for sure
"Like it or not, Red Velvet is quite simply the most idiosyncratic amd joyous pop group from any country working today." - Chase McCullen "The 405 - Music and Culture Magazine."
i'm learning a lot by watching your reactions please react to more red velvet they have a lot of unique concept for their mvs i recommend: Automatic Rookie Power Up Cookie Jar
I have been waiting for this reaction!! Dumb Dumb didn't get in the Rolling Stone's top 10 list of best music videos of 2015 for nothing! This mv is a masterpiece! Please do RBB next! 🤩🤩
i'm loving how much you're loving this hohohohoho i lose nothing leaving recs, other videos of a cute concept that i found particularly refreshing for the trend of pastel colors that i was just so done with back then: Love Bomb by fromis_9 which is simple but effective, Liar Liar by Oh My Girl that wonderfully leaned into the surreal dreamy proportions, Chococo by Gugudan that is just weird and unexpected and funny
Hello Paul L GOOD LUCK with the Netflix Project!!!!!! We thoroughly enjoy most, if not all, of your reactions; and we definitely appreciate you taking a little time to show us some of how things in the industry work. Thx TakeCare...
Not sure if you’ve noticed yet but the girls all had different colours assigned to them from debut; they slightly messed around and played with it in this video but they tend to put at least 1 Easter egg of them in these colours in the video - in this case the aprons in the dance scene towards the end. Irene = pink, Seulgi = orange, Wendy = blue, Yeri = purple, Joy = green.
love the little updates on your work/life you sometimes talk about at the beginning of videos😊 interesting insights into the job of a film director 😯 wishing u luck with that project))
Nooo im an hour late 😭😭 sup paul No killing for this music video LOL I love the aspect ratio of this one with the white bars At this point Red Velvet and tables have become an icon. Almost every music video they have have had at least a table shot with the five of them sitting together. Goodluck on the netflix thing!!
Actually one of the mv theory is that they are being manufactured in that mv that's why they are like dolls or robots.. it's like how people perceived idols (like they are just being manufactured to be all the same or something), it's like they are mocking those perceptions in this mv.
Dumb Dumb was produced by VM Project Architecture. They have a very distinct aesthetic that I really love. For RV they also did Zimzalabim. They got their break with SM when they produced EXO's EXODUS album teaser and their Pathcode teasers in 2015. If you can, please do EXO-CBX's Blooming Day or EXO's Obsession which they also produced! Since I am mainly an EXO-L, I can only talk about what I've noticed from their releases. From what I know, the choreographers, especially if they're in-house, have a lot of say on how the dance portions are shot in the MVs and the live performances. They film a dance practice, with the choreographer doing the filming himself, and they send that video to the production company or the music show's directors so that they can see how they want those parts to be showcased. I can't say it happens all the time, but I've seen interviews where they talk about it.
I never noticed the wristbands in the bus. However, they are not all red. Each member has a color that identifies them. While Seulgi's color is yellow, she wears an orange wristband for this theme.
10:02 Is it possible that they did keep the camera still and did a digital zoom? But anyway, I really love the production design in this MV, everything is just so colorful and fun. And the contrast is awesome. I don't actively notice all the stuff that they add to keep our interest, so I'm glad you pointed that out!
This was a very funny reaction video! Please react to (G) I-DLE’s OH MY GOD next!;) The music video is creepy but beautiful at the same time and I would personally say that the music video is one of K-pop’s best!
"This is very peppy, I'm waiting for someone to die now."
Russian Roulette has a lasting impact eh?
peek a boo, monster, and russian roulette left him like that 😂
I love when people learn about RV MVs :D
@@gabsmoon_ did he already react to peek a boo? but why i cant find ut tho
To be fair most red velvet singles have a dark undertone or theme.
Ice cream cake, natural, rookie, dumb dumb, russian roulette, peek a boo, bad boy, psycho, monster, naughty. Girl they witches hahah
@@STALKER777LK Power up too. Irene juiced her own members 🤣
I think Russian Roulette and Peek-A-Boo traumatized you LOL
Let's not forget psycho, RBB and monster. Queens of the creepy concept
was his peek-a-boo reaction deleted? cause i can't find it..
@@giuliat1443 may be..
Oh!, when Irene starts to rap she is naming Michel Jackson songs. Lol
Both Irene and Joy name them, good luck finding all of them 🤣
Michael Jcakson songs in the rap:
Beat it
Bad
Billie Jean
Leave me alone
Black or white
Man in the mirror
Why you wanna trip on me
Scream
Love never felt so good
Thriller

@ttalgi lips ty
NotEvenJohn joy is also a rapper!
@@Mimi-mj6lp well, Joy's vocals improved and so Yeri's rapping as well that's why we can only Irene and Yeri do the rap almost every time.
Automatic, but on this point you should react to every red velvet mv

@@kmanmoney065 Very true, I have hear the music industry theory and is just as valid. Just like OOTN, the song does not really match the video.
Yeah they use tables & cars in their mv on top of that they use tools, emotionless face
table unnie 💀💀
"I am waiting for someone to die now"
Hahaha, omg that's so funny
'This is so creative and so different.'
That is soooo Red Velvet. What makes it exciting to stan them is not just their discography, they also have variety of concepts with different productions/mv.
I was able to appreciate more details like the timing, the cloning and their great transitions because of your review.
No one died but it's still creepy in the way they're all living dolls being manufactured and shipped out
I'll be honest I'd like to order 1 of each of the manufactured dolls😅
sha1015 was gonna comment that too
ahhh that's why the title is dumb dumb bcuz they are manufactured... i think
You should react to umpah umpah. They're just literally singing about how to freakin drown someone.
I love the 'red' RV's songs but not so much the 'velvet' ones, therefore i didn't really listen to them.... Buttttt this is catching my attention... What other songs are psychotic like that? 😂😂
I think Umpah umpah dosent have a quality mv like dumb dumb or psyco...
Some of their red side songs actually...
Drown someone with love uwu 💜💜💜💜
@@extratao50 LMAO 🤣

i will never get over the fact that someone said during the scene with the lilac background that "irene was acting like the oscar was on the line"
Still praying for Automatic haha
Thank you for your reactions, Paul!💜
I feel like I remember watching the automatic reaction, maybe it got copyright claimed? or I imagined it 😅
@@ninayasmijn no, there is no reaction for it definitely
I would remember haha
@@ninayasmijn The one with copyright and was deleted is Peek-A-Boo :(
i can't stop laughing at how he keeps asking if they're gonna kill people every other minute.
I've probably watched this a hundred times since its release yet I couldn't believe I still missed some of the details you pointed out 😂 It's pretty cool how seamless and quirky the editing is. You can really tell they spent a lot for the MV production! And yes that's Irene and she IS the Main Rapper so you got that right 😁
"I'm waiting someone to die now"
LOL You finally understand RedVelvet vibe
We stan killer creepy eerie queens ❤
People have already explained the song but I’ve seen some theories that the video is calling out how manufactured the kpop industry is but who knows
not you trying to politicize a concept about having a crush..
@@geniebysnsd163 I wouldn't say it's being political, more like critiquing but I don't think that's what they were going for anyway
He's been traumatized by all the weapons darkness
React to red velvet rookie, the mv is good because the flowerguy is the director and shows what production is at the end
Yes, I am super interested in how to sell in a script! I find your process similar to me raising money for a startup I partially own. Your script is like my tech, the harder part isn't necessarily developing the product, it is getting an investor (in your case netflix) interested in you and what you are trying to sell.
"I'm waiting for someone to die now." 🤣 Well, no one died but it's still creepy how they're still being manufactured and acting like robots!
Yeah!! Red Velvet not just unique & creative on their music, but also their Music Video!!!
That's why I love them so much~
I forgot how great this song and mv is I'm living just watching it lol
You should check Red Velvet “Automathic” is a very stunning video, so artistic!
Btw you are que king of titles!!
Dumb Dumb is the best era of RV, the song itself, the vocals, the music, the choreo, the production, n The Red is their best album..most iconic era
"I'm waiting for someone to die" lmao
Red Velvet key words: IT WORKS😎
To sum up Red Velvet’s discography is for Smart People.
*Experimental group, variety of instrumentals, mixing music genres, interesting concepts & memorable stories!*
They sing "robo 처럼" meaning "robot-like" and then do the robot...so good...
he really thought someone was gonna die hfbsjajdje
My favorite is that Michael Jackson rap
the Leg Box always gives me the heebie jeebies
If you liked Dumb Dumb, *Zimzalabin gonna blow your mind.*
Can you also react to their MV teasers for Dumb Dumb, I bet you'll love those
These titles are something else 😄
"I'm waiting for someone to die now" = I'm dying XD
there's no guy in the mv so naturally, no one died 😂
Hey Paul have you ever notice in Red Velvet videos they are always at a table. Lol
I feel happy to see you already have 8 rv mv reactions its must be rv really got your attention.
Awesome reaction to Red Velvet again! Hope your project will go through on Netflix ☺️
I think Red Velvet Rookie is right up your alley!!!
Paul the entire video waiting for someone to die lol 😂. Anw thanks for the reaction.
I would love if you reacted to Yeri's (youngest member of RV) solo Dear Diary. It's a song she wrote/composed and she directed the MV as well!
I'm so ready for Red Velvet's Milky Way. WENDY IS BACK
My favorite Red Velvet MV ✨
"I'm waiting people to die." I LAUGHED LIKE A MAD MAN HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA OMG THE TRAUMA FROM PEEK-A-BOO AND RUSSIAN ROULETTE 😂😂😂
Irene is literally the main rapper of the group 😭
Her vocals, visuals and dance are just so good people don't realize she's the rapper
Red Velvet don't always have murder in their MVs, but they're ALWAYS interesting and quirky
Love the kpop mv reviews but its always so cool hearing about the process around the film industry. Its so so cool
I never realized before how many orange they use for this MV
Your videos are really a learning experience into the minds of the Production side of the MVs. I'm starting to recognise the things u say when I see MVs myself :)
Great Netflix news! Fight on! 💪💪
So happy for you about the Netflix thing, fingers crossed and good luck!!!
Still one of my favorite comebacks ever, thanks for discussing 👍
Good luck on the Netflix submission. Oooh RV's vids are good for this hehe they always have a slight psychological thriller/fantasy/horror feel. Gonna check other vids, I wanna see if you did their Psycho and Monster already.

i recommend:
Automatic
Rookie
Power Up
Cookie Jar
I have been waiting for this reaction!! Dumb Dumb didn't get in the Rolling Stone's top 10 list of best music videos of 2015 for nothing! This mv is a masterpiece! Please do RBB next! 🤩🤩
"they start cute then they get terrible"
Im rooting for you on the Netflix movie!!
Mr. Paul Leach lowkey becoming Reveluv now😂
"Get It" by Prinstin V is one of the most visually pleasing music videos, I think you will like it a lot
YESSSSSSSSSS

At this point, have you notice that in every rv mv.. there's a table?
One more thing you should notice Red Velvet has a car in there music videos. Lol

Good luck! Also dumb dumb is so good I’m glad you enjoyed it & now I get why the mv seemed retro, it was the editing! Thank you & good luck again 🍀
conGRATS WITH THE NETFLIX THING!!! i’m sure you’ll get it:)
Nooo im an hour late 😭😭 sup paul
No killing for this music video LOL

this mv is about idols manufacturing i guess. (so many clones and robotic)
Very interesting! You are so good at explaining the various tricks and concepts, thank you!
I never noticed the wristbands in the bus. However, they are not all red. Each member has a color that identifies them. While Seulgi's color is yellow, she wears an orange wristband for this theme.
I think this was included in Rolling Stone's best Music Videos in the year 2015.
The person who died was me when i watched the mv
They are actually saying dumb dumb!
10:02 Is it possible that they did keep the camera still and did a digital zoom?
But anyway, I really love the production design in this MV, everything is just so colorful and fun. And the contrast is awesome. I don't actively notice all the stuff that they add to keep our interest, so I'm glad you pointed that out!
There's a reason why Rolling Stones named this as one of the Top 10 Best Music Videos in 2015 🥳
Fun Fact!
*This music video ranked #9 on Rolling Stone's Top 10 Best Music Videos of 2015. It's the only Kpop MV on the list.*
I’d love to hear your thoughts on girls by nature! (specifically the uncensored version) it’s not super well known but it’s really unique!
I'd love to see your reaction to ONF "We Must Love", "Why" and "Sukhumvit Swimming". I'm sure you'd find them interesting.
This was a very funny reaction video! Please react to (G) I-DLE’s OH MY GOD next!;) The music video is creepy but beautiful at the same time and I would personally say that the music video is one of K-pop’s best!
Plz react to their mv teasers for dumb dumb they were very insteresting too .
Thank you for reaction! Hopefully you react to zimzalabim and RBB by red velvet too ^^
Yayyyyy finallyyyyy ;) :D thank you so much ❤ appreciate your time
Paul you would like (Ladies Code - Galaxy) & (The Rain) music videos (when you have time check out those MV) thanks again for your reactions
OMG! YES PLEASE!!
Yeeeeeeeeees stunning mvs!!!!!!!
Check out Cookie Jar MV by Red Velvet, it’s got that murder element you were anxiously waiting for 😂
Also really interesting commentary. I enjoyed it!
5:38 green screen, they put mirror in the background, they added blur effect to makes it more seamlessly.
Next you should do zimzalabim or one of these nights
"Rolling Stone Names Red Velvet’s “Dumb Dumb” in Top 10 Music Videos of 2015"
Anyone laughing at when he say i waiting for somebody to die 😂
Traumatized by our ot5 queens other mv's
Hope you react to Automatic the next time! 😊💚💜💗🧡💙
I suggest Zimzalabim for the next RV series music video lol
or Ice Cream Cake!
