The Midsommar movie fits SO well with Red Velvet where it's suuuuper unsettling and something always just feels...off..., but with the most gorgeous scenery and settings. The dresses up in the tree reminded me of the collection of pizza boy shirts in glass cases in peekaboo
The ending scene says that the mv is inspired by the movie Midsommar! If you haven't seen it this mv might be a bit harder to understand but it's basically a very odd and creepy horror movie based in Sweden :)
The video basically follows up from their teaser video where they're in an alt universes where us, the fans, don't exist. They end up leaving that universe to come to this planet where they wait for fate to drop us down from the sky so they can bring us into their cult. They know that at the end of the day we have to leave so rather than sacrifice us they try to get us to stay on their planet because they'll be lonely if we leave
@@vjewldOh, I feel the same way. After 'Psycho', I never thought I'd ever like another of their title tracks as much, but 'Chill Kill' came out and it became my favorite as soon as I heard it for the first time...
My interpretation of the MV is that they're all living in a world in which the night is dangerous and lonely so they sacrifice people to keep the sun shining for a little bit longer (hence the hanging dresses), but to keep the sun shining permanently they need someone not of this world, aka the person falling in the beginning. Through the ritual they perform during the bridge they're able to achieve their dream of eternal sunshine and live happily ever after. (But lowkey if we're following the Midsommar lore, they all sacrificed themselves with the fallen person and are presumably dead at the end)
I think Cosmic is one of my fav title track of them!! And I agree, iced coffee is literally THE song!!! it’s so so goodddd FALLING IN YOUR EYES FALLING IN YOUR ICE YEAH YOU GOT ME LIKE ICED COFFEE😩 ok sorry lol
same RV wearing those red costumes was the death of me. Wendy doing that smooth body roll and irene Seulgi whispering has some Monster vibes. Unnie Line killed it. The Maknae line did not slouch either. I love the color of Joy's voice here and her look. That dark, naughty smile, and Yeri just absolutely beaming and so pretty! I love the cake girls.
Wow i'm so early!!! But yes IRENE will be coming out with a solo soon and funny that you mentioned ASEUL unit because you have to brace yourself since Seulgi said that they are considering a comeback sooooon
thank you for always supporting red velvet, i often replay your rection for red velvet, especially killing voice (i always sing with youu). love you soo muchh
So I love horror movies and have seen the movie a few times... the way the MV kinda follows the movie almost to a tee... the disney version is RV plays the creepy, murderous cult in the movie, the girl who fell from the sky is either their sacrifice or their next initiate, depending on how well she "accepted" their values and traditions like the maypole dance (when they were dancing in the field). The trippiness is an ode to the cult consistently drugging the people who come in contact with them. As for the other visuals (the burning sunroom and the flower eyes)... the movie equivalent is a lot darker and not for the faint of heart. Kudos to them for choosing such a disturbing movie to portray lmao
Always admire how you spot things in music videos that often, I did not notice. Great the way you explain with knowledge about other Red Velvet songs you prefer and why. You just don't sit there, pulling various faces saying: "Ayyy," every now and then. Good job.
Bulldozer was one of my favourite songs from the chill kill album tbh and I feel like no one talked about that song- it’s so good and I wish more people talked about it:,) red velvet’s b-sides are always so good tho
Thank you soo much for react.... This song is so magical. The album is awesome, not skip for sure. "Last Drop" is so smooth, "Bubble" is a punky, fun and fresh song and "Night Drive" is definitely one of my fav songs of RV, the perfect ending of the EP. Love RV so much. Love U Cait, nice day
7:58 if you watch the BTS for the MV, them breaking the couch was 100% unattentional and the couch just couldn't handle all of them sitting on it😭😭😭😭 It's cute that they decided to keep it in though
I have been waiting for this reaction! Thank you. Personally this is one of my favorites from them. It’s got a perfect mix of happy and sad and just feels like you’re levitating , especially during the bridge. Also yes, Irene is having a solo this year and Iced Coffee is a certified gem.
caitlin! i hope you post your album reaction highlights on here too :D it's super great and probably my favorite! but that may be because of recency bias.
YAYYYYY Red Velvet reaction!!!!!! WOOHOO! The chorus is extremely addictive, and the contrast between the verse and the chorus is so so so nice. The whole album is so good. This song is better and better every time I hear it.
I think the gist of the MV story is they needed to sacrifice the girl to become the second sun of their planet. That's why when she fell through the glass during the bridge she became a sun. Smth along those lines xD
I think in the video it was similar to the movie in the sense that they were trying to convert the outside to be apart of their cult and no matter how many times she tries to escape they capture her again. And then at the end she is crowned and is apart of their cult
Red Velvet Always Making Music that Always highlights every single detail with the vocals and ad-libs Yeri has been attacking me with her presence and charisma
Idk if someone already explained something in the comments, but I'm gonna tell you about the movie since it's one of my favorites. My explanation may contain spoilers tho, so be aware if someone wants to watch it for the first time. :b I'm starting with the real life festivity with the same name: It has its origin in Sweden, and it's a pagan celebration to the Summer Solstice. In almost the last part of the MV you can see a lot of scenes of the girls dancing around a pole decorated with ribbons and flowers, and that's one of the main activities people do on this holiday. Also, this celebration has a mystical and more spiritual sense: people welcome magic creatures who can show the future and the flowers acquire magical qualities; so young women must collect 7 different flowers, silently, and put them under their pillows when they go to sleep, so they'll be able see their future husband in their dreams. Then, it comes the actual movie, which is based on the real celebration, but way too creepier. Dani, the main character, goes to a remote village for the celebration with her bf and some friends, but all the villagers end up doing creepy traditional activities (and, due to my investigations, I found out some of them were real during the medieval years, or even before) and cause -veeery explicitly and violently- almost everyone's death during the movie, except for Dani, who is chosen as the May Queen instead (after living all those traumatic events, lol). That title is given to the girl who can last the longest during a dancing competition around the pole I told you before. In the MV, I assume that the person the girls were chasing is the May Queen, but she was chosen before every ritual this time. She maybe represents Reveluvs getting into the Red Velvet's universe (or sect, lmao) without a chance to escape, BAHAHA As a fact, a lot of scenes in the MV are an actual representation of the most shocking (not necessarily in a good way) scenes in the movie. The part of the flowers in the eyes is one of them. And the (kind of) tapestry at the beginning of the MV, is almost the same one at the beginning of the film. Hope it helps a little!
I don't know I just feel so emotional with cosmic I really like everything about it and the album is great to as always 😭💗💗 + Irene made her first photo exhibition !! but unfortunately it's not a solo drop🥲
Musically it's very Red Velvet meets ABBA (and I love it, especially disecting which sounds remind me of which parts of ABBA songs) and very fittingly the video is Red Velvet meets Midsommar :D
how i interpreted the lyrics : basically they are all like intergalactic beings who can travel across the planets and stars and some girl stumbles onto their star, she wants to find her way back to her home star or whatever but red velvet slowly start thinking about how they want her to stay there maybe to sacrifice to their star idk 😭 cus its lonely there, so they hunt her down and sacrifice her with their lil cute flower ritual and then they happy the end lmk how close or far i was
Even though its inspired my Midsommar, as a horror fan and midsommar lover, it's more so inspired by the cinematography and festival rather than the actual plot line so you're all good if you haven't watched it because it won't really help you understand the plot of the mv too much haha XD
From what I understood from the mv, the Swedish festival and red velvet’s mv director’s explanation, every time there’s a festival an earthling is summoned/evocated into this world as a sacrifice for worshipping the sun. In Swedish culture they do worship the sun midsummer to find their destined loved one or something like that without sacrificing anyone which comes then the horror movie midsommar with the cult sacrificing thing. Red Velvet are the leaders just sacrificing women (tree with hanging dresses) for the sun but the reason is not totally explained maybe they do it for the sun for youth or just bcs they want to 😂😂 As for the red string, it symbolizes connection between people, as for the mv director they use the string to control the earthling and not let her get away.
ive heard great things abt midsommar but never watched it myself, its a very disturbing film so i never expected rv to pull ideas from it! but honestly it tracks with them 1000%
8:05 the funniest part is that the members begged the producers to include that clip in the mv
The funniest part is that it was wasn’t staged 😭 red velvet always laughing like crackheads
WenJoyRene just freezing there while Yeri and Seulgi immediately try to flee the scene is so fcking funny too, true sibling behaviour
The whole album is so good 😭
YASSSSS I CANT wait to get to it!! Ahh
@@caitlinbensonnyou will love itt ❤ it’s soo good
@@caitlinbensonn its full of 80s synth retro pop but not in a generic way. Its genuinely so good. Even Fifi loved it and you know she hates retro 😭
I mean, as expected from a Red Velvet album ❤
✨✨✨✨
The chorus giving ABBA and Midsommar being set in Sweden go together nicely
Also some said that the producers are also from Sweden!
@@chechegimotea8673 they are! :)
The Midsommar movie fits SO well with Red Velvet where it's suuuuper unsettling and something always just feels...off..., but with the most gorgeous scenery and settings. The dresses up in the tree reminded me of the collection of pizza boy shirts in glass cases in peekaboo
Red velvet is never beating the cult allegations
The ending scene says that the mv is inspired by the movie Midsommar! If you haven't seen it this mv might be a bit harder to understand but it's basically a very odd and creepy horror movie based in Sweden :)
Yes I’ve never seen the movie because I really hate horror movies haha so it was a bit hard to understand but I loved the vocals tho! 💕
@@caitlinbensonn its not really horror-y i'd say its psychological horror at most but its def creepy
you have no idea how much that movie traumatised me
I teared up when the last chorus hit. I cant believe it’s been 10 years since they debuted!
1:19 "anything thats uncomfortable" then there's a saltburn poster in the back, im dead 😭😭
LMAOOO you right 😭😭😭💀
To be fair tho it’s not a horror movie In the normal sense but it definitely it’s uncomfortable. I’m excluding that movie hahaha
The video basically follows up from their teaser video where they're in an alt universes where us, the fans, don't exist. They end up leaving that universe to come to this planet where they wait for fate to drop us down from the sky so they can bring us into their cult. They know that at the end of the day we have to leave so rather than sacrifice us they try to get us to stay on their planet because they'll be lonely if we leave
7:14 This scene was just SAURR magical!! I was literally levitating 😭🫶🏻
This song is crack. The more you listen to it, the better it gets.
Red Velvet giving us a 3 minutes version of Midsomar with ABBA vibes is ❤
this gotta be their best comeback since feel my rhythm!!
nobody understands chill kill like me 😞😞 like- chill kill is THE song 😩❤️🤞🏻
@@vjewld chill kill and the WHOLE album is their best i feel in my opinion
@@vjewld I AGREE! But I also love Cosmic just as much:(( I feel like Red Velvet plans concepts just for my personal taste
@@vjewldOh, I feel the same way. After 'Psycho', I never thought I'd ever like another of their title tracks as much, but 'Chill Kill' came out and it became my favorite as soon as I heard it for the first time...
U r very right 😊
My interpretation of the MV is that they're all living in a world in which the night is dangerous and lonely so they sacrifice people to keep the sun shining for a little bit longer (hence the hanging dresses), but to keep the sun shining permanently they need someone not of this world, aka the person falling in the beginning.

(But lowkey if we're following the Midsommar lore, they all sacrificed themselves with the fallen person and are presumably dead at the end)
If Yeri was chasing me through the woods I'd let her catch me, idk what the protagonist of this MV is thinking.
Iced coffee definitely deserves more recognition!! 😣
YASSS THANK YOU!!! that’s my songggg!
And Bulldozer ❤
@@mattfeest5809you have tasteee
That little cheeky chuckle in the intro gets it for me 😭😭😭
I think Cosmic is one of my fav title track of them!!
And I agree, iced coffee is literally THE song!!! it’s so so goodddd FALLING IN YOUR EYES FALLING IN YOUR ICE YEAH YOU GOT ME LIKE ICED COFFEE😩 ok sorry lol
same RV wearing those red costumes was the death of me. Wendy doing that smooth body roll and irene Seulgi whispering has some Monster vibes. Unnie Line killed it.
The Maknae line did not slouch either. I love the color of Joy's voice here and her look. That dark, naughty smile, and Yeri just absolutely beaming and so pretty!
I love the cake girls.
They killed that girl as a sacrifice haha. Look at the flower eyes scene, the girl’s lips already turned blue. Sick! 😂😂
what a magical bridge✨✨too beautiful to describe 😭
Wow i'm so early!!! But yes IRENE will be coming out with a solo soon and funny that you mentioned ASEUL unit because you have to brace yourself since Seulgi said that they are considering a comeback sooooon
Broooo I’m so excited for IRENE and noooo not them about to kill me again 😭😭😭😭 LMAOO well I guess I better prepare myself then
This song is becoming more beautiful whenever i replay it.. SM Company always slay concepts.. Red Velvet , Aespa and SNSD ❤
Iced coffee was my fav too! So underrated but I loved the magical atmosphere of the song ✨
the bridge until the outro is outergalaxical. it made me teared up everytime i heard it. it just so beautiful.
THE MV STORYLINE IS SO GOOD
Red Velvet is good at making bops creepy but good 😂
thank you for always supporting red velvet, i often replay your rection for red velvet, especially killing voice (i always sing with youu). love you soo muchh
So I love horror movies and have seen the movie a few times... the way the MV kinda follows the movie almost to a tee... the disney version is RV plays the creepy, murderous cult in the movie, the girl who fell from the sky is either their sacrifice or their next initiate, depending on how well she "accepted" their values and traditions like the maypole dance (when they were dancing in the field). The trippiness is an ode to the cult consistently drugging the people who come in contact with them. As for the other visuals (the burning sunroom and the flower eyes)... the movie equivalent is a lot darker and not for the faint of heart. Kudos to them for choosing such a disturbing movie to portray lmao
10 years and still FLAWLESS ahhhhh I’m obsessed with this song to an unhealthy degree
irene is coming as a solo! and seulgi said irene&seulgi 2nd album is in consideration!!😂🔥
"I don´t do horror, anything that is uncomfortable."
Has a Saltburn poster behind ans has a reaction of it. MY GURL CAITLIN😭
AHHH STOP I LOVE ICED COFFEE!!!!!
YASSSSS THE TASTE
It's one of the music and vocals in this Red Velvet song I have actually liked in a while👏💖 Also the MV reminds me of Midsommar😂
I loved this comeback...especially the bridge where they have flower on their eyes OMG... loved that scene 🌼🌼🌼
They were like a Sun Cult, the girl representa the Sun and the sacrifice. The "Mindsommar" celebration is for the Summer Solstice
I see red velvet and caitlin I click. Caitlin spoiling us with these videos, Caitlin take a break if you need to ❤❤❤
YESS i love iced Coffee with all my heart 🥺🩷 people dont talk enought about it
iced coffee might just be my fave red velvet ballad ever 🥹
Always admire how you spot things in music videos that often, I did not notice.
Great the way you explain with knowledge about other Red Velvet songs you prefer and why. You just don't sit there, pulling various faces saying: "Ayyy," every now and then.
Good job.
Just noticed your ghost Teolaegi in the background 🥹🥰 he’s so cute I have him too… just recently realized he glows in the dark too
Same! Caitlin, same! Iced Coffee is my favorite too on Chill Kill album!
Bulldozer was one of my favourite songs from the chill kill album tbh and I feel like no one talked about that song- it’s so good and I wish more people talked about it:,) red velvet’s b-sides are always so good tho

Caitlin I swear you are me sometimes because I love underwater but why is iced coffee the most streamed song on that album for me 😭
if a red velvet mv's giving ritual or murder it means the song's peak
Happy (almost) 10th anniversary 🩷 💛 💙 💚 💜
caitlin! i hope you post your album reaction highlights on here too :D it's super great and probably my favorite! but that may be because of recency bias.
It will be on Patreon 💕
YAYYYYY Red Velvet reaction!!!!!! WOOHOO! The chorus is extremely addictive, and the contrast between the verse and the chorus is so so so nice. The whole album is so good. This song is better and better every time I hear it.
Love this song! 😍
The girl was the sacrifice lamb after 9 years... They really fit and pulled this concept so good!
red velvet definitely is a kpop group that continues to OUTDONE themselves

my new fav rv title track tbh!! it's SOOOOO good. that last chorus... omg
Just watched sir Austin's reaction, and then this. Yaaayyy
I’m about to watch his too haha
my favorite songs from the Cosmic album so far are Sunflowers and Night Drive
I'm obsessed with the whole album 🥰
Caitlin, this is so random but I love the melted clock on your cabinet. 😂😂😂
One of the best title track releases honestly :) ... I've been playing the whole EP is on loop !
This song was so freaking good I had it on repeat! It’s so adorable ❤

BUBBLE IS FIRE GIRL SOOO GOOODDD
I CLICKED SO FAST AS SOON I SAWWWWW 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 was awaiting your reaction to cosmic 😭😭
I love this song so much!
EARLY AND I'M IN. I have not stopped listening to this song since the release

Yes you're coming ❤
i listened to babymonster forever and it slapped my face, and now red velvet stepped on my neck
Just look at film "Midsommar" and you'll understand concept of this MV
Probably won’t be watching that movie anytime soon lol
@@caitlinbensonn short review is enough) But this film have very scary storyline...
@@caitlinbensonn yeah don't ever do it!! It's traumatizing believe me 😖💀
Even though its inspired my Midsommar, as a horror fan and midsommar lover, it's more so inspired by the cinematography and festival rather than the actual plot line so you're all good if you haven't watched it because it won't really help you understand the plot of the mv too much haha XD
RED VELEVET ATEEE
So basically the mv was based on the movie midsommer and basically it talks about them sacrificing someone, so the girl there chasing is a sacrifice 😮
This is what I'm waiting for🤩
From what I understood from the mv, the Swedish festival and red velvet’s mv director’s explanation, every time there’s a festival an earthling is summoned/evocated into this world as a sacrifice for worshipping the sun. In Swedish culture they do worship the sun midsummer to find their destined loved one or something like that without sacrificing anyone which comes then the horror movie midsommar with the cult sacrificing thing.
