Yea rookie for me is one of those songs that I have to listen to more than once. But going through the album talk to me was hittin instantly for me(currently). Going to check out the live version rookie later ^^
I didnt like it much at first but it really grew on me!! I love it now and the choreo is fun too!! But Talk To Me on the album is my fav song, it's sooooo good!!
Youthful Jo hey i'm not fan boy but my favorite track is Talk to Me too. I think it's like Ariana's things from her album Yours Truly. But that's fineee.
Alice Flower I know right. For some reason SM always do this even for their other artist with english speakers. XD i guess this makes the song more noticeable.
Ok here are some words from a RV Stan since their debut: I don't think it's a bad song or worse than their previous releases BUT I always admired Red Velvet for doing concepts which are NOT too cutesy. They always had some Swag which I loved. My problem is that Rookie doesn't feel authentic. They post songs that they are listening to from time to time on their Instagram and there is nothing like this. Wendy is the most talented singer of this generation and Seulgi is amazing as well. Why does SM not push their capabilities? I'm sure they are gonna comeback again this year and hopefully show the world what they can really do!!!
seulgi bear from what I know the first few years of a groups debut the company gives them songs and concepts they themselves don't necessarily like. So the songs they sing may not be the kind of music they usually listen to. Companies do this to build up a groups fan base and cater to fans. But as the group progresses, becomes big and have their own name, the companies do listen to their artist and what they want to do for their music. Example like snsd, Taeyeon and some other members didn't like the song gee and oh coz it was too cutesy. But they still did it and it made them so so popular. And now that snsd is a senior group, sm do listen to this opinions. Like Seohyun's solo, sm gave her a more young girl concept but she didn't want that and she told them her opinion and they changed it so a more sexy concept which she wanted to show. So yeah that's what I think, I may not be entirely true. Sry I said so much 😅 but I do agree with you that I want to see how red velvet bring out a different side and their powerful vocals 😌
Irene most beautiful Visual get over it if you're a true fan you'd appreciate that they're pretty much always doing different things and they always seem to put everything into it. This song is not cutesy, it's quirky and fun, and it might not be everyone's taste but it definitely fits RV's quirky style along with Russian Roulette and Dumb Dumb. And if you need something a little more chill there's an album with completely different songs.
Irene most beautiful Visual get over it I think that, from SM's perspective, they can either put out amazing velvet songs which probably won't gain much popularity or they can put out these kinda cute, quirky songs (rookie, dumb dumb, Russian roulette) which gain a lot of popularity for red velvet. If I was in SM's place, I would probably do the same thing and put out the cute, quirky songs to first gain popularity for red velvet and then later on release the velvet songs when they have a large fanbase (as SM wants them to )
The problem is that this comeback is not as successful as the other ones. What I'm trying to say is that from Happiness -> ICC to Dumb Dumb it always went to the NEXT level. Russian Roulette and Rookie are cute songs and I like them but they are not showing their real talent.
Irene most beautiful Visual get over it Yes, I agree so much. Most fans are perfectly happy with these red songs but it's just about if they're done well like dumb dumb and ICC or if they're kinda mediocre like rookie.
yxtxnified thats what I thought too..but pringles and an article page(forgot the name)said that it is a shoutout...pringles even posted and it says "our girl is at it again" idk but its seems like a shoutout🤔😊
Yhen Sone it's not a shoutout to pringles, she used the mustache to look like a man because in that part of the song the lyrics were reciting something the guy (the rookie) said to them. is nice to see Pringles promoting Seulgi tho lol
Btw it sounds like lookie lookie because when ur singing it sounds weird when they say rookie rookie and sound bad so the letter r is not supposed to hear cuz it not strong enough to sound good ur welcome lmao
Jessica Adams aww shit you know what I was thinkinnof the video I'm going to be editing soon. I've been listening to it over and over when I was on a cruise lol my bad smh don't even know my own videos lol
I did not intend to be a Red Velvet fan. But Seulgi got me hooked on this group. She's just the full package. I just can't ignore her. When I see talent, I just go for it. :) Plus, she's pretty too. 😍 I can't escape now, I guess. 😍
i absolutely loved rookie since the first time i heard it. ITS SO CATCHY AND CUTE. lookie lookie~~ also watching their live performance made me feel out of breath. dayum, that choreo
you're my favorite when it comes to red velvet reactions, you can clearly see that you're a true fan not just doing it for the views, i love you pls never stop doing diis
Talk to Me, Body Talk, and Little Little are my favorite Songs in the Album. (Oh wow.. that's 3 out of 5 oops) Especially Body Talk. It just gives me like,,,,,, a vibe.... that I can't explain.
lol i knew you were gonna love talk to me, its so good. Tbh at first i wasn't that into Rookie but later on it started to grow on me and now im obsessed
Body talk is the best song on the whole album imo. Body talk >>>>>> ALL The oTher songs, literally one of the best songs they've released together with automatic, oh boy and lucky girl
Seriously, i have been hating on the song (you cannot imagine how much) yesterday i decided to give it a new try... now i am literally obsessed with it!
Talk To Me is my favorite song of the album too! Yeri's monologue is amazinggggg!! I think lookie lookie was intentional😂😂😂 I know all of them can say rookie properly😂😂
Irene will forever be my bias ❤️ She has been my bias ever since I found out about Red Velvet which was maybe 7 or 8 months ago maybe even 9 months ago
Am I the only one who understands that Rookie is pronounced the way it is purposely because R sounds like L in hangul ??? I mean not always because it depends in a sentence. Most english words are pronounced differently so Korean fans can understand. And I know this because I watched a clip of Shannon Williams when she featured on a Korean show for Foreigners living in Korea and while she was recording her music, she pronounced the word cellphone correctly in English but the producer guy told her that it sounded weird and she explained how even if it was the correct pronounciation, she had to pronounce it in a way that the Korean fans would understand. It's just like how some English words are pronounced differently in Japanese in Kanji form I guess ? Example. Television is terebi in Japanese or Ball pen is boorupen
omg im so thankful that u know narnia ahhhh!! those 3 kids that lived inside of some ppl's closet in years and when they went out the closet they r still the same kids who entered ♡ awww i loved that movie so muchh ♡ mhm.. i also love wendy btw ;)
Also I'm glad you weren't one to jump on the Rookie hate, because a lot of people did not like this concept so I'm glad that you like it as much as I did
You should check out Hakuna Matata by Walwari! They are a new Co-ed group but not a lot people know they debut! They are really unique and have a cool style!
WAIT WATCH THE LIVE ITS SO GOOD SEULGI'S ABS MADE ME CRY
aimee SO TRUE
You should hear the music removed version... it's almost flawless.
aimee ahh and they sung it live as well ❤😍😍😍
aimee same fam i cried a river oh gosh im so jealous
Seulgi is so hot! 😍 I actually prefer the live performance version than the music video. We need a Seulgi Rookie fancam, as soon as possible.
Yea rookie for me is one of those songs that I have to listen to more than once. But going through the album talk to me was hittin instantly for me(currently). Going to check out the live version rookie later ^^
JREKML Samee
ROAR BY SF9 IN 1 HOUR
JREKML senpai..we have the same fav!!! talk to me~ 😍
I like Rookie (I sang it like every hour) but Happily Ever After is my favourite in the album. Thanks for the reaction JRE
JREKML I thought the same think and I listing to it more and more but I still hate it :/ but u must watch the choreography it's very good
I didnt like it much at first but it really grew on me!! I love it now and the choreo is fun too!! But Talk To Me on the album is my fav song, it's sooooo good!!
Ok just saw you listen to it, good to know a fellow fan boy loves Talk To Me too hahaha
Youthful Jo hey i'm not fan boy but my favorite track is Talk to Me too. I think it's like Ariana's things from her album Yours Truly. But that's fineee.
Youthful Jo ikr?
Lookie, Lookie~
My super lookie lookie lookie:)
ARMY VIP & BLINK They say Rookie or are you being funny 😂😂
Taniya Bradford Yeah I know they say rookie☺ it's just that no matter how many times I listen to it, I keep hearing "lookie."😂^^
Taniya Bradford No they say Lookie. Koreans pronounce R's as L's.
2ne1 Pilots They didnt pronounce russian roulette as lussian loulette tho
that's because Wendy sings that part and she is Canadian.
Me: nahh i dont like it
(Later)
In my head while sleeping: LOOKIE LOOKIE!-- wth..
same feels
This is legit me .-.
why so serious same..it grew on me as more days passed
It grew on me after a couple plays. I think watching them perform it live got me hooked.
fuck this guy
"talk to me" is my favorite song on the album jeez it's so good💕
Rachel inas me too
Yaaassss!!!! It's an AMAZING song
My favourite song of the year so far!!! 😊
Caysel Anae I'm actually listening to it rn. I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves it 😂💘🙏
Juana Martinez ITS JUST SO GOOD.... and your not the only one cause JRE likes it as well
Caysel Anae yes that's true. I love y'all. RV fighting 👏
Am I the only one that actually likes the song 😅
Bts Trash i like the song too
Bts Trash i like the song too
Bts Trash just need to listen to it a couple time~ i love it so much.
I don't like the song... I love it 😍
Bts Trash noo, I love it.
Poor Wendy, imagen her face when they told her to pronounce it Lookie.
Alice Flower ikr she's probably so upset 😂😂
HAHAHA I AM DECEASED
Alice Flower she probably said Lookie when she introduced the album instead of Roookie
Alice Flower I know right. For some reason SM always do this even for their other artist with english speakers. XD i guess this makes the song more noticeable.
I don't know if JRE noticed, but Last Love is a Wendy solo (his bias) ❤
Isabella Tanajura now I know O.O 💕💕💕
JREKML O.O
I'm A Kpopper His bias is Wendy?
me: I didn't like the song they could've done better.
Also me: LOKI LOKI **Add the song to Spotify playlist**
Lol same 😂😂

That's "HAJIIIMAA"
BOI I'M CRYING😂
Red Velvet never disappointed with their amazing virus music!!!💖
I bet some of you didn't noticed that Seulgi gave a shoutout to Pringles!! Is at 2:40 in the video😊
Didn't really seem like a shoutout, a fake moustache isn't necessarily a shoutout to pringles...
yxtxnified well Pringles shared it on their twitter tho
yxtxnified thats what I thought too..but pringles and an article page(forgot the name)said that it is a shoutout...pringles even posted and it says "our girl is at it again" idk but its seems like a shoutout🤔😊
Yhen Sone it's not a shoutout to pringles, she used the mustache to look like a man because in that part of the song the lyrics were reciting something the guy (the rookie) said to them. is nice to see Pringles promoting Seulgi tho lol
Guys you know that Seulgi has an obsession with pringles right? Thats why is kinda a shoutout
"that's that new drug. that red velvet" I fucking died XD
TWICE's pet hamster same
TWICE's pet hamster same. giggles Like little Girl
the new drug 😂
Holy fuck, 259 likes in 45 mins O.O damn. thanks guys
TWICE's pet hamster I SAW U IN THE MUSIC VIDEEOOOO
"who is this flower guy"
my new bias
I'M LOVING THIS COMEBACK AND THEIR SONG BODY TALK & TALK TO ME ARE MY SHIT 🔥🙌🏾
Did you notice Last Love was a Wendy solo?
Yes! I did! She rocked it
Btw it sounds like lookie lookie because when ur singing it sounds weird when they say rookie rookie and sound bad so the letter r is not supposed to hear cuz it not strong enough to sound good ur welcome lmao
R and L are the same in Korean. That's why it's pronounced differently.
Gisselle Arzate It's purposely pronounced Lookie for a reason because R in hangul is pronounced like L
@ariesxoxo it depends where it is in the sentence structure. ㄹ can sound like R ㄹ but in certain parts it makes the L sound.
R and L aren't the same sound in korean. ㄹ is a mix between the two.
arieasxoxo but how could they say Russian roulette perfectly
me when rookie came out: this song ain't even catchy
one minute later: LOOKIE LOOKIEEEE
Jrm got them JB's earing 😂😂
Hiley J 😂😂
you should react to the performance/choreography. I've never seen such a fast dance ever and they were all synchronised. it was perfect.
where's the Kris Juice reaction or something
Latest omo kpop video
JREKML thanks
I watched all of it and I don't remember you reacting to Juice... Am I dumb?
its not there i watched all of the episode and it wasn't there
Jessica Adams aww shit you know what I was thinkinnof the video I'm going to be editing soon. I've been listening to it over and over when I was on a cruise lol my bad smh don't even know my own videos lol
the MV is so unique I didn't like it at first but it grew on me so now in my head I keep hearing "lookie lookie" I got addicted to the red velvet drug
Ofcourse you shouldn't expect yourself to like their new song immediately because they're redvelvet. They don't make normal music but unique music
Warning: this song is a drug, the more you do it, he more you'll be addicted to it.
Lookie lookie, machi machi!!!
You know its good when JRE jams/body rolls/shimmies his shoulders to it.
I hated the song at first but after a second listen I got hooked.
JRE I MISSED YOU NEVER LEAVE ME AGAIN OMG
I did not intend to be a Red Velvet fan. But Seulgi got me hooked on this group. She's just the full package. I just can't ignore her. When I see talent, I just go for it. :) Plus, she's pretty too. 😍 I can't escape now, I guess. 😍
Don't know if you noticed but Last Love is our main vocalist Wendy's remake of the original song!
Wendy going crazy telling them all it's Rookie not Lookie.
Talk to me, body talk and little little have been on repeat for me 👌
They had a literal flower boy in this MV lol
i absolutely loved rookie since the first time i heard it. ITS SO CATCHY AND CUTE. lookie lookie~~
also watching their live performance made me feel out of breath. dayum, that choreo
Jre, u reminds mr sometimes of Christ Tucker. From rush hour 😂😂 the way u talk 😂😂
Kyeom Chachiii lol I love rush hour! One of my favorite movies
The Kdrama metaphor was so accurate and I'm crying
*LOOKY LOOKY*

2017 and people still don't understand it's purposely pronounced 'lookie' ..
red velvet are such trendsetters that they invented a new concept: the drug concept. when will your fave lol
Body talk is the best song on the whole album imo. Body talk >>>>>> ALL The oTher songs, literally one of the best songs they've released together with automatic, oh boy and lucky girl
