DEFINITELY the killing voice is a must (even if it just came out yesterday)!! but also as for title tracks, here's a few recommendations (i tried to include different genres) umpah umpah (guitar and harmony based, bright summer song w/ high notes from 3 members), really bad boy (vocal flex, complex harmony, brassy dynamic song), automatic (sultry r&b sensual track), peek a boo (dark, playful, upbeat velvet track) and BAD BOYYYYYY (their most famous song, upbeat 90s r&b hiphop track) (all have mvs btw)
Definitely bsides.. The best ones r Kingdom Come, Ladies Night, Bamboleo, Bye Bye, LP, Blue Lemonade, Time Slip, Look, La Rouge, Something Kinda Crazy, My Dear, Pushin Pullin, Hear the Sea
And she's pretty much the only reactor who understood the plot after watching it the first time. Cause she actually paid attention to vocals AND visuals at the same time. ✨️ I feel so happy about that. 😂
she is such a talented reactor lol! She seems to always know when to stop and how much to say not to distrub the flow + she's quite a quick thinker. Such a good combo!
Irene wasn't kidding when she said she's the Original Visual, plastic surgeons in Seoul have said they can recreate her face by memory because over 60% of their clients ask for some feature of hers.
It's not just you - Feel My Rhythm makes me bawl. Watching it live in concert this summer made me SOB. It maybe because the whole song beautifully samples Bach's Air On a G String and something about the grand classical composition? It's just very epic and the music and vocals swell at the right points that makes you feel emotional!
Ive never heard anyone use a classical sample so faithfully, even them with rhapsody in blue, its so upfront, its so clean and so clear, but their voices are so good it works, they rise to it, their voices are just as pretty. the result is it sounds like bach wrote a k pop song.
You are right with Red Velvet having two sides. The Red side is more pop and upbeat and the Velvet is the more sultry, moody R&B focused. However they can combine both sides into a fusion. You see that with songs like Zimzalabim, RBB, Chill Kill. They are very versatile. And very experimental with sounds in their music. I'm so happy to see you diving in!
Oh my god there are so many bangers for you to listen to. We got Kingdom Come, Zimzalabim, Underwater, Wildside, Umpah Umpah, Russian Roulette, and so many more songs. They are the QUEENS of B-sides.
*RED VELVET IS THE MOST INTERESTING GROUP IN K-POP* One word that fittingly describes them is ^^Versatility^^ and they excel in doing that. There's no other group like Red Velvet.
this is the only acceptable reaction for every fan who's discovered red velvet! concepts and songs are really well made. members are extremely loveable. i'm just sad that sm does not push them out as much because there have been many opportunities to do so!
they've recently done the longest killing voice video, u must see it even if you don't post it as a reaction! as for song recomendations definetely Bad boy, Really bad boy (😂), russian roulette, peek-a-boo (this one is a must) and wildside as a japanese single I'd say u should listen to some of their bsides too, I'd recommend kingdom come (best song to ever exist) ZOOM, knock knock, oh boy
also seulgi (the one that u said her face was very unique) released her solo EP last year and it's called 28 reasons, if u want to check it out Joy and wendy have their own EPs too, and Seulgi and Irene(the leader main rapper and OG visual) have a subunit, hope we get to see your reactions to them whenever u have time❤❤❤
mate, your interpretation skills are INSANE. okay english majorrrr! this is the first video of yours ive watched and i was just in awe right from your psycho analysis with how on the money you were..after only one watch too! desperately need your reactions to MVs like Dumb Dumb, One of These Nights and Russian Roulette now
Your interpretation on Chill Kill is spot on, amazing! Wendy is represented by a blue orange, btw... That's how unique she is lol. I'm excited for your RV journey! Do not forget the B-Sides, here's some suggestions (they have a lot of amazing ones): Something Kinda Crazy, Candy, Oh Boy, Time Slip, Sunny Afternoon, Talk To Me, Body Talk, You Better Know, Look, Kingdom Come, Sassy Me, Taste, Sunny Side Up, In & Out, Pose, Better Be, Hello Sunset, Beg for Me, Bamboleo, Bye Bye, Underwater and Bulldozer.
Not you reacting to my favourite Red Velvet title tracks in one go lol. I am a Red Flavor and Psycho stan. I think you'll definitely enjoy them as a group. They're easily top 5 girl groups wise for me.
Thank you for your reaction. It looks like you liked Seulgi a lot as you kept pointing her out - her voice (r&b), her visuals and she being very attractive & sensual 🙂. Seulgi also has a solo album - 28 reasons. The rapper you pointed out is Irene who is also the leader of the group. Irene & Seulgi actually have a sub unit, you should check out their song Monster. As you have gathered by now Red Velvet as a group are extremely talented in vocals and performance. Please check out their Killing Voice too, you will love it.
I think you will like Red Velvet discography so so much,they have one of the most solid discographies in all kpop, their b-sides are just ear candy, like its just amazing,amazing vocals amazing songs
Don’t worry, I cried the first time I heard Feel My Rhythm! It’s just such a special song, really not many Kpop songs like it. Red Velvet really pushes the boundaries with sound and concept. They are just wonderful 🥰
29:25 actually yes they’re all participating in the harmonies, they’re all very strong vocalists and the 2 “weaker” vocalists (the rappers) could be lead vocalists in other groups
Yes they can… irene definitely can you don’t listen to red velvet if u don’t know that. She doesn’t really sing in songs but literally in chill kill she was showing off her vocals and many have praised for being such good vocalist whilst also being the leader, center, main rapper, lead dancer, face of the group and visual of the group
@@sweetmimosamommysaranghae3163 You don't know Irene. You don't know Yeri. You apparently don't know Red Velvet or their situation within SME.

Instead, place blame where it belongs; look down on the producers, managers and Execs of SM. They just love to screw things up and then make the idols apologize when things go wrong, as if the upper echelon had no idea what was happening. It's bunk, the Execs just love to be able to hide behind everybody else in order to cover their own asses.
oh we cheered so hard for this, u have no idea how much more red velvet has in store for you, they're always praised for their vocals but to me they have two prominent assets, vocals and versatility! red velvet have done so many genres, went into so many different artistic directions, told so many different stories. like i love them so fkn much
40:26 their red concept are all their poppy, bright and energetic songs their velvet concept are their more r&b, calm songs with darker concepts they also have red AND velvet songs that mix the 2 concepts (examples: zimzalabim, russian roulette, peek-a-boo)
for the members: in Red Flavor since the hair would be easier to distinguish, you can actually see their names on the side at the beginning of red flavour when they're talking to the fruits Irene is the leader, main rapper, sub vocalist, visual, and center. she's the one with the black hair and bangs Seulgi is the main dancer, and lead vocalist. she's the one with the brown hair, talking to the pineapple wearing a yellow top Wendy is the main vocalist. she's the one with the brown hair-blonde tips ombre the one talking to the orange Joy is the lead rapper, and sub vocalist. she's the one with the red hair Yeri is the maknae, sub rapper, and sub vocalist. she's the one with the blonde hair FYI: Red Velvet debut in 2014 as 4 members and Yeri join them in 2015 in their ice cream cake comeback. when they were 4, irene and joy were the rappers hence joy is labeled as the lead rapper, but when yeri join it's mostly her and irene rapping and joy has been getting more vocal lines but really all of them can sing it's just the usual kpop thing with needing a main, lead, and sub vocals and rappers.
The members are Wendy (the high note goddess) who together with Seulgi (the one you said had a strong face and nice tone) are part of GOT the beat. The main rapper is Irene, she's the original visual (she's considered one of top visuals of Korea, so it's a whole thing) and yeah girl can sing the hell out of it, also she's very a tsundere queen.. she comes of as cold but she's really kind and warm inside, specially in her relationship with Yeri, who she almost raised lol (Yeri was in elementary school when she starded training, so Irene would prepare her clothes and food so she could attend school). All of them can sing very exceptionally, tho they have very distinct tones and ranges.. also they do a lot of complex and very knit harmonies that can sound like unísson at first but it's quite amazing. The last members, you said look joyful are the groups youngest, Joy (the who with super bright voice and a bit flirty) and Yeri, the secone rapper, with a very bright tone, she's the maknae I mentioned before (she is actually 8 years younger than Irene, so in Ice Cream Cake - her debut song - she was really a baby at 15). Red Velvet just released their Killing Voice and it is OUT OF THIS WORLD. You should definitely check it out to get to know a bit more of the flawless Discography and getting blew away by their vocals.
I REALLLLLLY loved your reactions - ALL IF IT - but especially to Chill Kill you REALLY GOT IT. You really got all of it, but especially the way you really fully got the message and meaning of Chill Kill really really - I'm so impressed and thankful that you are reacting to Red Velvet now! Every song it was like a class. I've been looking forward to this day since I have always really enjoyed your reactions and now you're reacting to my ult group 💗💗💗
For me, Psycho isn't about a toxic relationship but rather a real, actual one. Couples fight, they get mad at each other but then patch things up at the end of the day. Just because they have their disagreements doesn't mean it's toxic. There's no perfect relationship. To outsiders, it may seem, as the song says, "weird" but the narrator of the song is very positive-that no matter the ups and downs of their love, they "will be okay".
don’t worry about the red vs velvet too much once you hear more songs you’ll definitely get the hang of it but in general they combine to two concepts becuase they’re just so freaking talentsed and able to do it seamlessly. but the divide is with both sound and concepts red tends to be pop and bright and experimental. red flavor and ice cream cake being the best examples here. velvet tends to be their more mature and darker vibes. but it doesn’t mean it has to be dark it’s just a more mellowed out sound to some songs or more r&b. it’s mainly where they’re focusing even more heavily on vocals. psycho being the example here. and then chill kill and feel my rhythm being examples of the combination
Man I don't know how I feel about a red velvet introduction without bad boy, peekaboo or russian roulette. It's nice to see people experiencing deeper in the catalog but man those songs are iconic.
I sooo love how you were able to interpret both their songs and mv the freaking first time you saw it. That's how you get to really enjoy red velvet's craft bc it's just so intricate. Looking forward to more of your reactions to red velvet in the future!
Little fun fact when you talked about feel my rhythm and it feel like it belongs on a classical stage - it actually smaples bach's 'air on the g string' and uses alot of visual refernce to this guy called bosch who is also liek a 1500s painter
Back when they released Psycho, I was really emotional. It’s a really good song that I’m genuinely feeling I have a toxic relationship with someone. 😂 I’m so obsessed with Psycho that I listen to it more than 10 times a day. I just got over it this year but still on my top 10 on repeat in Spotify 😂
Those couple simple bars in Psycho are about as rappy as Red Velvet gets. It's not their strength but the industry demands it for some reason. Regardless, they always have fun with it and it's a good time. But vocals and harmonies are where they shine
Girl, finally you discover red velvet, im so glad you did, their discography is amazing and versatile, im glad you ypu started with psycho, thats my fav song from them. Later I hope you react to rbb, bad boy, peek a boo, automatic for the velvet side and happiness, power up, dumb dumb, queendom for their red side (btw I'm not an expert in which songs are in which side, so thats just how I saw them)
your analysis of psycho was so spot on!! i love your reactions and i’m so happy that you’re finally doing RV. i’ve loved your channel since the snsd reactions and you’re always super insightful + entertaining. if you ever feel like doing more RV, obv at your own will, you should definitely check out automatic, bad boy, peekaboo, wildside + some of their bsides !
It amazes me how you can always understand the story if the song / MV at first listen. I have heard all these songs millions of times and never thought about it
Feel My Rhythm MV has a whole bunch of classical paintings in it but the biggest one they theme is The Garden of Earthly Delights by Bosch. :) In Red Flavor: Short bangs - Irene, leader, rapper, original visual Brown hair - Seulgi, you like her tone and said she has the r&b voice - you should check out her solo 28 Reasons, it's fantastic! Red hair - Joy Blonde - Yeri Blonde & brown balayage - Wendy Red Velvet's concept is duality - Red is bright, poppy, happy, upbeat, and Velvet is smooth, r&b, jazz, slow, sensual (so yes your second guess was correct 😊). I love how perceptive you were for all the stories of their videos, awesome!! You should check out their Killing Voice, it's a fantastic sampling of their discography and showcase of their talent!
I actually think Psycho and Chill Kill are thematically similar if they're interpreted as group members talking about their internal relationship (in storyline, ofc, lol). Psycho is inspired by Black Swan, so, it's about mutual sabotage (actually much akin to Russian Roulette), whereas in Chill Kill, they're torn apart by their abusive father figure who's killed off camera, so to speak. But, in both videos, they find serenity in unison by the end, by "not thinking about tomorrow" and saying "hey, now, we'll be OK". Also, interesting story behind Feel My Rhythm, it's inspired by Dutch painter, Hieronymous Bosch's, painting "The Garden of Earthly Delights", in which he portrays the suffering of sinners in Hell. The sin punished by those birds which are ubiquitous in the video is lust and the way people are punished for the sin of lust in his painting is... Too gruesome, but comedic for me to explain, tbh, anyone interested, look up the explanations online, lol. So, FMR was a standalone storyline about unbridled lust leading to Hell. A... Fascinating concept for a K-pop group when one really thinks about it. Thanks so much for reacting to RV!
This reaction definitely solidified you as my favorite if I didn’t realize it before. You and I got into Blackpink around the same time and I always enjoyed the way you would breakdown the videos. You didn’t just comment on visuals, vocals or dancing, you described what was happening in the videos as well. It’s amazing to me how you are ALWAYS spot on with your predictions lol. Yes their Red side is more Pop/upbeat, and their Velvet side is more R&B/dark. I’m sure there are other Luvies who will share much more info about the girls and their songs, I’m just so glad you’re finally here. I remember speaking to you about them when you saw them at the festival and you said you were afraid they would take over and THEY WILL 😂. Early predictions that Seulgi is your bias, you’ve been picking her out since Got The Beat! Enjoy the ride, it will be a wonderful journey and I can’t wait to go along it with you 💛
I love how you said their sound is level up from the standard, and they have a variety show called LEVEL UP! They are an all round group! Is such a joy to hear them, and I'm so proud of being a Reveluv!
Thank you for your reaction and your opinions were so insightful. They have just being live on Killing Voice which’s a famous live show in Korea.And Red velvet was seem the most expectant group to the show. Please check out the performance and you’ll love it!!!
I love it when FMR got praised this much, like dammnn, i feel your reaction, cause i feel the same when the first time this song came out lol, i still remember how my eyes keep tearing after first chorus lol 😂
I love all of the reactions I've seen of yours, but I think this one may be my favourite so far. Red Velvet's concept is quite hard to understand at first, and all of their comebacks are so unique - yet you are so perceptive and quick-witted that you understood them all so well and so quickly! I love your deep appreciation for musical artistry. Thank you so much for checking them out and sharing your reactions with us 🥰
Thank u for reacting these awesome girls. Red Velvet is one of the best groups in KPop history and fun fact, because of all their talents, discography and concept, Billboard title them as Best Idol Group Alive. Hoping u'll be react all of their title tracks and even their albums. I assure u that u won't regret that experience. Greetings from Reveluv 🩷💛🩵💚💜
I dont really vibe with all their MV songs, but when they hit me, they hit me. Queendom is probably my most played song by them, god i love it. also, Wendy is one of my fav kpop singers.
fun fact: The whole mv was based from a painting by bosch - garden of earthly delights the intro was inspired by other famous paintings as well and irene (the girl u mentioned that looked cold) is an actual introvert but can be loud when she's with her members or someone she's comfortable with. she's friends with jennie too!
YETTI!!! I have been WAITING for you to discover Red Velvet! IMO they have the strongest discography in Kpop. Incredible vocals and always tell a visual story. I knew you would love the girls!
So sorry I'm late- you can thank College, but I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU FINALLY GOT INTO RED VELVET! Dude these girls are on another level they all can sing, rap, dance, act, they are all visuals. They are the whole package, and yeah as you can see they are definitely more dark even with their "lighter" stuff it usually is either weird/chaotic or they kill someone in that MV (I'm not kidding they really like killing people especially men), I am shocked though that you didn't check out Bad Boy, Peek-A-Boo, etc. But it's okay you have time, also for your next Red Velvet video definitely check out their Killing Voice- they finally got one and they went CRAZY (especially Wendy), also the fact that you said that one of the girls look very joyful/cheerful is so funny because her name is legit Joy which I mean makes sense because every time I see her smile I smile (y'all will get what I'm referring to and if you don't I'm talking about the iconic fanboy!) Also if you check out any guide(s) definitely check out either an (Un)helpful Guide To Red Velvet Early 2021 (Shorter but shows everyone equally), A (hopefully) comprehensive guide to Red Velvet Queendom Era (gives the most information, a little long but one of the best), or A Complete Helpful Guide to Red Velvet 2023 Part one and two (also very helpful and the newest one). Anyways I can't wait for you to check out more Red Velvet such as more Music Videos, B - Sides, Live Performances, Covers, Dance Practices, Moments, and of course Ships- I can't wait for more Content from you and I hope that you are doing well and staying safe and healthy! P.S. If you ever need any good Videos I could totally help you out if you need it! Also totally understandable with Feel My Rhythm, it's so good I don't know why it gets as much hate as it gets!
I’ve been following RV from afar for a while as I really enjoy their music but this comeback make me do the deep dive and you are not alone feeling all these emotions. I was really blown away when I watched their BTS of recording. Discovering red velvet has been a delight, but makes me feel a bit crazy how obsessed I’ve become in such a short period of time. Thanks for these reactions!
I became a fan before Queendom era and when I first heard FMR, I cried a lot because WHY CAN THEY BRING SOMETHING NEW IN EVERY SINGLE COMEBACK???! THAT'S INSANE 😭😭
Now you know why people only talk about their vocals lol. Also there is 3 rappers in the (group official roles) but you also have Wendy that can rap as well. Im glad you could enjoy them now.
Thanks for this reaction video, love your reaction! I have almost the same reaction when I first heard Feel My Rythm.Being their fans for 6 years, it was one of the best moment. RV's discography are really something else~~
aahh i was so excited when i saw you uploaded a video reacting to red velvet! they are one of my ult groups, hope you dive into red velvet more and their absolute bangers!! 🫶
Thank youuu. Red velvet are really talented and have many different styles. You should def react to their new Dingo killing voice it really shows your each members voices 🎉🎉
Thank you for the reaction. For me, the unique sounds and style of vocals RV does really got my attention and then there was no looking back. It sometimes takes me a few listens to really get their songs though.
You really got the MV correct for chill kill!!! I cried when I finally got it because I felt emotional. And you did really well for most of the songs too. Really well done! Ps. Red flavor was an earlier song Can’t wait for you to explore even more of their discography!
oh and aside from killing voice if you wanna hear more of their live I would suggest "Time to Love" and "Celebrate" @birthday party in kwangya and "Remember Forever" and "Psycho" @reve festival finale live clip on their yt channel, and Milky Way live video from sm station channel. i swear this will be my last comment😅😂 I'm just excited to see you check red velvet since you like shinee and nct bcos of their talent i feel like you'd like them too
Feel my rhythm was based on classical music and art. The song itself samples Bach’a Air on G string. Many famous art pieces are referenced in the mv like Millais’ Ophelia, Fragonard’s The Swing, Monet’s Woman With Parasol, etc.
This is the first time I've watched any of your reactions and I have to say I really like the way you interpreted Psycho, especially your point about the mirror and turning away from the truth making you free I hope you check out the Feel My Rhythm performance vid bc it made me fall in love with the song all over again
I really enjoyed watching more from the girls, Wendy is really from another plant with her voice. I'm looking forward to seeing the duo of Seulgi and Irene and solos
Watch my reaction to Feel my Rhythm performance here - www.patreon.com/Seoulconnection
OK i'm ready - what are the must watch/ listen to
so excited for this!! their killing voice has just come out - it's incredible and such a good intro to a real range of their music!
DEFINITELY the killing voice is a must (even if it just came out yesterday)!! but also as for title tracks, here's a few recommendations (i tried to include different genres)
umpah umpah (guitar and harmony based, bright summer song w/ high notes from 3 members), really bad boy (vocal flex, complex harmony, brassy dynamic song), automatic (sultry r&b sensual track), peek a boo (dark, playful, upbeat velvet track) and BAD BOYYYYYY (their most famous song, upbeat 90s r&b hiphop track)
(all have mvs btw)
Wendy on Lee mujin it’s a must and Wendy when this rain stops
don't underestimate their versatility because their rnb side is also top notch like automatic, be natural, kingdom come to name a few ;)
Definitely bsides.. The best ones r Kingdom Come, Ladies Night, Bamboleo, Bye Bye, LP, Blue Lemonade, Time Slip, Look, La Rouge, Something Kinda Crazy, My Dear, Pushin Pullin, Hear the Sea
Its funny you said one of the girls has a joyful face and voice when her name is JOY 😭
33:21 just such perfect timing!
the way you see Irene and said cold queen is like you already knew her😆 she IS our icy queen
She made me shiver lol
the way you immediately got the story of the chill kill MV is impressive
And she's pretty much the only reactor who understood the plot after watching it the first time. Cause she actually paid attention to vocals AND visuals at the same time. ✨️ I feel so happy about that. 😂
she even pointed out how that one particular part in Feel My Rhythym music video is reversed. AMAZING
she is such a talented reactor lol! She seems to always know when to stop and how much to say not to distrub the flow + she's quite a quick thinker. Such a good combo!
Irene wasn't kidding when she said she's the Original Visual, plastic surgeons in Seoul have said they can recreate her face by memory because over 60% of their clients ask for some feature of hers.
Wow
It's not just you - Feel My Rhythm makes me bawl. Watching it live in concert this summer made me SOB. It maybe because the whole song beautifully samples Bach's Air On a G String and something about the grand classical composition? It's just very epic and the music and vocals swell at the right points that makes you feel emotional!
YESS the comment I was waiting for hehehe let's be weird together
Feel my Rhythm still gives me full body chills every time I hear it. It's a masterpiece
Ive never heard anyone use a classical sample so faithfully, even them with rhapsody in blue, its so upfront, its so clean and so clear, but their voices are so good it works, they rise to it, their voices are just as pretty. the result is it sounds like bach wrote a k pop song.
You are right with Red Velvet having two sides. The Red side is more pop and upbeat and the Velvet is the more sultry, moody R&B focused. However they can combine both sides into a fusion. You see that with songs like Zimzalabim, RBB, Chill Kill. They are very versatile. And very experimental with sounds in their music. I'm so happy to see you diving in!
You really have to see their FEEL MY RYTHM PERFORMANCE VIDEO… it’s the best thing you’ll ever seeeee!!!
I have it's on patreon. It was stunning
Oh my god there are so many bangers for you to listen to. We got Kingdom Come, Zimzalabim, Underwater, Wildside, Umpah Umpah, Russian Roulette, and so many more songs. They are the QUEENS of B-sides.
Irene - watermelon- the leader rapper vocalist
Seulgi- pineapple- main daincer lead vocalist
Wendy- blue flesh orange- main vocalist
Joy- kiwi- rapper vocalist
Yeri- Grapes rapper vocalist rapper
*RED VELVET IS THE MOST INTERESTING GROUP IN K-POP*
One word that fittingly describes them is ^^Versatility^^ and they excel in doing that. There's no other group like Red Velvet.
this is the only acceptable reaction for every fan who's discovered red velvet! concepts and songs are really well made. members are extremely loveable. i'm just sad that sm does not push them out as much because there have been many opportunities to do so!
RED VELVET HAS THE BEST DISCROGRAPHY EVER
they've recently done the longest killing voice video, u must see it even if you don't post it as a reaction!
as for song recomendations definetely Bad boy, Really bad boy (😂), russian roulette, peek-a-boo (this one is a must) and wildside as a japanese single
I'd say u should listen to some of their bsides too, I'd recommend kingdom come (best song to ever exist) ZOOM, knock knock, oh boy
also seulgi (the one that u said her face was very unique) released her solo EP last year and it's called 28 reasons, if u want to check it out
Joy and wendy have their own EPs too, and Seulgi and Irene(the leader main rapper and OG visual) have a subunit, hope we get to see your reactions to them whenever u have time❤❤❤
mate, your interpretation skills are INSANE. okay english majorrrr! this is the first video of yours ive watched and i was just in awe right from your psycho analysis with how on the money you were..after only one watch too! desperately need your reactions to MVs like Dumb Dumb, One of These Nights and Russian Roulette now
Your interpretation on Chill Kill is spot on, amazing! Wendy is represented by a blue orange, btw... That's how unique she is lol. I'm excited for your RV journey! Do not forget the B-Sides, here's some suggestions (they have a lot of amazing ones): Something Kinda Crazy, Candy, Oh Boy, Time Slip, Sunny Afternoon, Talk To Me, Body Talk, You Better Know, Look, Kingdom Come, Sassy Me, Taste, Sunny Side Up, In & Out, Pose, Better Be, Hello Sunset, Beg for Me, Bamboleo, Bye Bye, Underwater and Bulldozer.
Not you reacting to my favourite Red Velvet title tracks in one go lol. I am a Red Flavor and Psycho stan. I think you'll definitely enjoy them as a group. They're easily top 5 girl groups wise for me.
they're top in 1 music, discography, mv, visuals, vocal and concept wise. But yeah!
Oh you are welcome 😜
Psycho and Red Flavor are also my top favorite Red Velvet songs ❤
Thank you for your reaction. It looks like you liked Seulgi a lot as you kept pointing her out - her voice (r&b), her visuals and she being very attractive & sensual 🙂. Seulgi also has a solo album - 28 reasons. The rapper you pointed out is Irene who is also the leader of the group. Irene & Seulgi actually have a sub unit, you should check out their song Monster. As you have gathered by now Red Velvet as a group are extremely talented in vocals and performance. Please check out their Killing Voice too, you will love it.
I think you will like Red Velvet discography so so much,they have one of the most solid discographies in all kpop, their b-sides are just ear candy, like its just amazing,amazing vocals amazing songs
Don’t worry, I cried the first time I heard Feel My Rhythm! It’s just such a special song, really not many Kpop songs like it.
Red Velvet really pushes the boundaries with sound and concept. They are just wonderful 🥰
29:25 actually yes they’re all participating in the harmonies, they’re all very strong vocalists and the 2 “weaker” vocalists (the rappers) could be lead vocalists in other groups
no, they can't be lead vocals at all don't be like that, yes they can sing but at most they're sub vocalists, even in other groups
Irene has above average in kpop vocals though, weve mostly only seen her go for it in some covers though not much in their songs
@@sweetmimosamommysaranghae3163yes they can. u should check more to irene & yeri's singing.
Yes they can… irene definitely can you don’t listen to red velvet if u don’t know that. She doesn’t really sing in songs but literally in chill kill she was showing off her vocals and many have praised for being such good vocalist whilst also being the leader, center, main rapper, lead dancer, face of the group and visual of the group
@@sweetmimosamommysaranghae3163 You don't know Irene. You don't know Yeri. You apparently don't know Red Velvet or their situation within SME.
SM simply does not give Irene the chance to shine that she rightfully should have (Leader of the Group for a reason, MAIN RAPPER for a reason, Center for a reason). SM does not give her rap parts in songs. They should by rights let her shine by doing her thing. She CAN also SING, she just does not get the chance. There are vocals hidden in some of their songs that you have no idea are Irene's vocals, you might think it was Wendy popping off in the back.
Irene is the most under-utilized Main Rapper in K-Pop to the point that new fans don't even know that she is the Main Rapper. She is also under-utilized as a Vocalist. SM has made enough bad decisions about her that she is the Best-Kept Secret In K-Pop. If they treat the GROUP LEADER like that, they of course would not think twice about treating any other member that way.
Don't look down on ANY of the members of Red Velvet; they do not make many decisions as far as their employment goes. Most decisions are taken from them, not in their hands at all.
Instead, place blame where it belongs; look down on the producers, managers and Execs of SM. They just love to screw things up and then make the idols apologize when things go wrong, as if the upper echelon had no idea what was happening. It's bunk, the Execs just love to be able to hide behind everybody else in order to cover their own asses.
All of the girls have their own color,fruit and animal!
oh we cheered so hard for this, u have no idea how much more red velvet has in store for you, they're always praised for their vocals but to me they have two prominent assets, vocals and versatility! red velvet have done so many genres, went into so many different artistic directions, told so many different stories. like i love them so fkn much
40:26 their red concept are all their poppy, bright and energetic songs
their velvet concept are their more r&b, calm songs with darker concepts
they also have red AND velvet songs that mix the 2 concepts (examples: zimzalabim, russian roulette, peek-a-boo)
Peek a boo is velvet
isnt russian roulette just red 💀
@@freezerrfr no bc the music is red but the concept is velvet
for the members:
in Red Flavor since the hair would be easier to distinguish, you can actually see their names on the side at the beginning of red flavour when they're talking to the fruits
Irene is the leader, main rapper, sub vocalist, visual, and center. she's the one with the black hair and bangs
Seulgi is the main dancer, and lead vocalist. she's the one with the brown hair, talking to the pineapple wearing a yellow top
Wendy is the main vocalist. she's the one with the brown hair-blonde tips ombre the one talking to the orange
Joy is the lead rapper, and sub vocalist. she's the one with the red hair
Yeri is the maknae, sub rapper, and sub vocalist. she's the one with the blonde hair
FYI: Red Velvet debut in 2014 as 4 members and Yeri join them in 2015 in their ice cream cake comeback. when they were 4, irene and joy were the rappers hence joy is labeled as the lead rapper, but when yeri join it's mostly her and irene rapping and joy has been getting more vocal lines but really all of them can sing it's just the usual kpop thing with needing a main, lead, and sub vocals and rappers.
The members are Wendy (the high note goddess) who together with Seulgi (the one you said had a strong face and nice tone) are part of GOT the beat. The main rapper is Irene, she's the original visual (she's considered one of top visuals of Korea, so it's a whole thing) and yeah girl can sing the hell out of it, also she's very a tsundere queen.. she comes of as cold but she's really kind and warm inside, specially in her relationship with Yeri, who she almost raised lol (Yeri was in elementary school when she starded training, so Irene would prepare her clothes and food so she could attend school). All of them can sing very exceptionally, tho they have very distinct tones and ranges.. also they do a lot of complex and very knit harmonies that can sound like unísson at first but it's quite amazing. The last members, you said look joyful are the groups youngest, Joy (the who with super bright voice and a bit flirty) and Yeri, the secone rapper, with a very bright tone, she's the maknae I mentioned before (she is actually 8 years younger than Irene, so in Ice Cream Cake - her debut song - she was really a baby at 15).
Red Velvet just released their Killing Voice and it is OUT OF THIS WORLD. You should definitely check it out to get to know a bit more of the flawless Discography and getting blew away by their vocals.
I REALLLLLLY loved your reactions - ALL IF IT - but especially to Chill Kill you REALLY GOT IT. You really got all of it, but especially the way you really fully got the message and meaning of Chill Kill really really - I'm so impressed and thankful that you are reacting to Red Velvet now! Every song it was like a class. I've been looking forward to this day since I have always really enjoyed your reactions and now you're reacting to my ult group 💗💗💗
We need more red velvet!!!!
Watch the performance version of Feel My Rhythm, its magical!
34:13 yes it’s her! she’s irene, the leader, center, visual, main rapper and sub vocalist
And lead dancer 😊
@@meganhall1161 oh yes i forgot to mention it, thanks!
This time stamp I think is more Joy though
@@violet7092 i think i chose the time stamp to match the moment where she asked the question
For me, Psycho isn't about a toxic relationship but rather a real, actual one. Couples fight, they get mad at each other but then patch things up at the end of the day. Just because they have their disagreements doesn't mean it's toxic. There's no perfect relationship. To outsiders, it may seem, as the song says, "weird" but the narrator of the song is very positive-that no matter the ups and downs of their love, they "will be okay".
don’t worry about the red vs velvet too much
once you hear more songs you’ll definitely get the hang of it but in general they combine to two concepts becuase they’re just so freaking talentsed and able to do it seamlessly.
but the divide is with both sound and concepts
red tends to be pop and bright and experimental. red flavor and ice cream cake being the best examples here.
velvet tends to be their more mature and darker vibes. but it doesn’t mean it has to be dark it’s just a more mellowed out sound to some songs or more r&b. it’s mainly where they’re focusing even more heavily on vocals. psycho being the example here.
and then chill kill and feel my rhythm being examples of the combination
Interesting thanks. Do all songs fit into the two themes though?
@@Yetti. in their own individual ways yes
Please react to their Killing Voice next, it's vocal heaven 🔥
Omg omg omg I've been patiently waiting for this!!! I'm so excited!!!!
Hope you like it!
Man I don't know how I feel about a red velvet introduction without bad boy, peekaboo or russian roulette. It's nice to see people experiencing deeper in the catalog but man those songs are iconic.
I sooo love how you were able to interpret both their songs and mv the freaking first time you saw it. That's how you get to really enjoy red velvet's craft bc it's just so intricate. Looking forward to more of your reactions to red velvet in the future!
Little fun fact when you talked about feel my rhythm and it feel like it belongs on a classical stage - it actually smaples bach's 'air on the g string' and uses alot of visual refernce to this guy called bosch who is also liek a 1500s painter
Back when they released Psycho, I was really emotional. It’s a really good song that I’m genuinely feeling I have a toxic relationship with someone. 😂 I’m so obsessed with Psycho that I listen to it more than 10 times a day. I just got over it this year but still on my top 10 on repeat in Spotify 😂
That's what I love about Red Velvet, their Cute but like have this Sinister vibe as well.
Those couple simple bars in Psycho are about as rappy as Red Velvet gets. It's not their strength but the industry demands it for some reason. Regardless, they always have fun with it and it's a good time. But vocals and harmonies are where they shine
You're so good at interpretating!
Their vocals are top tier, I love your reaction videos ❤
Thank you soo much
Girl, finally you discover red velvet, im so glad you did, their discography is amazing and versatile, im glad you ypu started with psycho, thats my fav song from them. Later I hope you react to rbb, bad boy, peek a boo, automatic for the velvet side and happiness, power up, dumb dumb, queendom for their red side (btw I'm not an expert in which songs are in which side, so thats just how I saw them)
your analysis of psycho was so spot on!! i love your reactions and i’m so happy that you’re finally doing RV. i’ve loved your channel since the snsd reactions and you’re always super insightful + entertaining. if you ever feel like doing more RV, obv at your own will, you should definitely check out automatic, bad boy, peekaboo, wildside + some of their bsides !
OMGGG YOU NEED TO WATCH PEEK A BOO MV AND RUSSIAN ROULETTE
It amazes me how you can always understand the story if the song / MV at first listen. I have heard all these songs millions of times and never thought about it
Feel My Rhythm MV has a whole bunch of classical paintings in it but the biggest one they theme is The Garden of Earthly Delights by Bosch. :)
In Red Flavor:
Short bangs - Irene, leader, rapper, original visual
Brown hair - Seulgi, you like her tone and said she has the r&b voice - you should check out her solo 28 Reasons, it's fantastic!
Red hair - Joy
Blonde - Yeri
Blonde & brown balayage - Wendy
Red Velvet's concept is duality - Red is bright, poppy, happy, upbeat, and Velvet is smooth, r&b, jazz, slow, sensual (so yes your second guess was correct 😊).
I love how perceptive you were for all the stories of their videos, awesome!!
You should check out their Killing Voice, it's a fantastic sampling of their discography and showcase of their talent!
I actually think Psycho and Chill Kill are thematically similar if they're interpreted as group members talking about their internal relationship (in storyline, ofc, lol). Psycho is inspired by Black Swan, so, it's about mutual sabotage (actually much akin to Russian Roulette), whereas in Chill Kill, they're torn apart by their abusive father figure who's killed off camera, so to speak. But, in both videos, they find serenity in unison by the end, by "not thinking about tomorrow" and saying "hey, now, we'll be OK". Also, interesting story behind Feel My Rhythm, it's inspired by Dutch painter, Hieronymous Bosch's, painting "The Garden of Earthly Delights", in which he portrays the suffering of sinners in Hell. The sin punished by those birds which are ubiquitous in the video is lust and the way people are punished for the sin of lust in his painting is... Too gruesome, but comedic for me to explain, tbh, anyone interested, look up the explanations online, lol. So, FMR was a standalone storyline about unbridled lust leading to Hell. A... Fascinating concept for a K-pop group when one really thinks about it. Thanks so much for reacting to RV!
blinks and reveluvs used to be one of the best friendships and as a fellow blinkluv i’ve been waiting for this!!
This reaction definitely solidified you as my favorite if I didn’t realize it before. You and I got into Blackpink around the same time and I always enjoyed the way you would breakdown the videos. You didn’t just comment on visuals, vocals or dancing, you described what was happening in the videos as well. It’s amazing to me how you are ALWAYS spot on with your predictions lol. Yes their Red side is more Pop/upbeat, and their Velvet side is more R&B/dark. I’m sure there are other Luvies who will share much more info about the girls and their songs, I’m just so glad you’re finally here. I remember speaking to you about them when you saw them at the festival and you said you were afraid they would take over and THEY WILL 😂. Early predictions that Seulgi is your bias, you’ve been picking her out since Got The Beat!
Enjoy the ride, it will be a wonderful journey and I can’t wait to go along it with you 💛
Girl you get the chill kill storyline for the first time watching great job !
I love how you said their sound is level up from the standard, and they have a variety show called LEVEL UP!
They are an all round group! Is such a joy to hear them, and I'm so proud of being a Reveluv!
Thank you for your reaction and your opinions were so insightful.
They have just being live on Killing Voice which’s a famous live show in Korea.And Red velvet was seem the most expectant group to the show. Please check out the performance and you’ll love it!!!
YES! I've been waiting for you to explore them for a long time!
I love it when FMR got praised this much, like dammnn, i feel your reaction, cause i feel the same when the first time this song came out lol, i still remember how my eyes keep tearing after first chorus lol 😂
I'm so happy that you like Feel My Rhythm. It's my favorite from them❤
I love all of the reactions I've seen of yours, but I think this one may be my favourite so far. Red Velvet's concept is quite hard to understand at first, and all of their comebacks are so unique - yet you are so perceptive and quick-witted that you understood them all so well and so quickly! I love your deep appreciation for musical artistry.
Thank you so much for checking them out and sharing your reactions with us 🥰
You just started with the best red velvet song. They are amazing and you need to watch the killing voice video
Thank u for reacting these awesome girls. Red Velvet is one of the best groups in KPop history and fun fact, because of all their talents, discography and concept, Billboard title them as Best Idol Group Alive. Hoping u'll be react all of their title tracks and even their albums. I assure u that u won't regret that experience. Greetings from Reveluv 🩷💛🩵💚💜
Omg you look so much like Xinyu. Your smile is so beautiful! Thank you for giving red velvet a listen!
For addition Yeti, watch their recording behind of Feel my rhythm, u'll be impressed to how they "cooked" that masterpiece
YES PLS😭✨
Yes! I have been waiting for you to react to them!
Also, you should definitely check out their video on Killing Voice, they were incredible
I dont really vibe with all their MV songs, but when they hit me, they hit me. Queendom is probably my most played song by them, god i love it. also, Wendy is one of my fav kpop singers.
fun fact: The whole mv was based from a painting by bosch - garden of earthly delights
the intro was inspired by other famous paintings as well
and irene (the girl u mentioned that looked cold) is an actual introvert but can be loud when she's with her members or someone she's comfortable with. she's friends with jennie too!
There’s so much more to watch huhu
YETTI!!! I have been WAITING for you to discover Red Velvet! IMO they have the strongest discography in Kpop. Incredible vocals and always tell a visual story. I knew you would love the girls!
So sorry I'm late- you can thank College, but I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU FINALLY GOT INTO RED VELVET! Dude these girls are on another level they all can sing, rap, dance, act, they are all visuals. They are the whole package, and yeah as you can see they are definitely more dark even with their "lighter" stuff it usually is either weird/chaotic or they kill someone in that MV (I'm not kidding they really like killing people especially men), I am shocked though that you didn't check out Bad Boy, Peek-A-Boo, etc. But it's okay you have time, also for your next Red Velvet video definitely check out their Killing Voice- they finally got one and they went CRAZY (especially Wendy), also the fact that you said that one of the girls look very joyful/cheerful is so funny because her name is legit Joy which I mean makes sense because every time I see her smile I smile (y'all will get what I'm referring to and if you don't I'm talking about the iconic fanboy!) Also if you check out any guide(s) definitely check out either an (Un)helpful Guide To Red Velvet Early 2021 (Shorter but shows everyone equally), A (hopefully) comprehensive guide to Red Velvet Queendom Era (gives the most information, a little long but one of the best), or A Complete Helpful Guide to Red Velvet 2023 Part one and two (also very helpful and the newest one). Anyways I can't wait for you to check out more Red Velvet such as more Music Videos, B - Sides, Live Performances, Covers, Dance Practices, Moments, and of course Ships- I can't wait for more Content from you and I hope that you are doing well and staying safe and healthy!
P.S. If you ever need any good Videos I could totally help you out if you need it! Also totally understandable with Feel My Rhythm, it's so good I don't know why it gets as much hate as it gets!
I’ve been following RV from afar for a while as I really enjoy their music but this comeback make me do the deep dive and you are not alone feeling all these emotions. I was really blown away when I watched their BTS of recording. Discovering red velvet has been a delight, but makes me feel a bit crazy how obsessed I’ve become in such a short period of time. Thanks for these reactions!
Red velvet on killing voice
I was waiting for this for such a long time 😭😭😭
Red velved, the art
I became a fan before Queendom era and when I first heard FMR, I cried a lot because WHY CAN THEY BRING SOMETHING NEW IN EVERY SINGLE COMEBACK???! THAT'S INSANE 😭😭
The Velvet side always be my fave, love the R&B sound of them
You've just discovered the most beautiful, talented, creative amd diverse girl-group in all of Kpop.
Congratulations. 👍
seulgi and jisoo are best friends btw they went to each others concerts and used to interact soooo much both online and offline
Red Velvet's MVs are very interesting. Their discography is top-tier. 🔥🔥
Omggg I was waiting for thisss thank uuu❤
Please watch Wendy’s solo “like water”! It shows off her vocal range and is a beautiful song
Now you know why people only talk about their vocals lol. Also there is 3 rappers in the (group official roles) but you also have Wendy that can rap as well. Im glad you could enjoy them now.
you're like the wisest woman in kpop yt, yeti 😭. u could talk bout one song for 30 mins straight and i would listen to you till the end 🫶🏼
Freaking love your reaction especially in feel my rhythm mv
Thanks for this reaction video, love your reaction!
I have almost the same reaction when I first heard Feel My Rythm.Being their fans for 6 years, it was one of the best moment.
RV's discography are really something else~~
Feel my rythm is THAT song❤
aahh i was so excited when i saw you uploaded a video reacting to red velvet! they are one of my ult groups, hope you dive into red velvet more and their absolute bangers!! 🫶
Thank you for this, I've loved it SO MUCH ❤❤
Thank youuu. Red velvet are really talented and have many different styles. You should def react to their new Dingo killing voice it really shows your each members voices 🎉🎉
Yeah you cant see something like RedVelvet in this era, their discography and vocal quality are insane
Thank you for the reaction. For me, the unique sounds and style of vocals RV does really got my attention and then there was no looking back. It sometimes takes me a few listens to really get their songs though.
YOU DONT KNOW HOW LONG IVE BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONE
I love this group, they are a complete package
i really loved this reaction !!! if you want to hear more of their vocals they just had a killing voice. blew me away
a sample of Bach is used in feel my rythm :)
You really got the MV correct for chill kill!!!
I cried when I finally got it because I felt emotional.
And you did really well for most of the songs too. Really well done!
Ps. Red flavor was an earlier song
Can’t wait for you to explore even more of their discography!
oh and aside from killing voice if you wanna hear more of their live I would suggest "Time to Love" and "Celebrate" @birthday party in kwangya and "Remember Forever" and "Psycho" @reve festival finale live clip on their yt channel, and Milky Way live video from sm station channel.
i swear this will be my last comment😅😂 I'm just excited to see you check red velvet since you like shinee and nct bcos of their talent i feel like you'd like them too
Feel my rhythm was based on classical music and art. The song itself samples Bach’a Air on G string. Many famous art pieces are referenced in the mv like Millais’ Ophelia, Fragonard’s The Swing, Monet’s Woman With Parasol, etc.
I think after the killing voice reaction her bias will be Wendy let wait and watch I’m calling it 😂
This is the first time I've watched any of your reactions and I have to say I really like the way you interpreted Psycho, especially your point about the mirror and turning away from the truth making you free
I hope you check out the Feel My Rhythm performance vid bc it made me fall in love with the song all over again
Red Velvet
RED - Bright and Cute Concept
VELVET - Dark and Sexy Concept
they did a killing voice that is soooo good
I really enjoyed watching more from the girls, Wendy is really from another plant with her voice. I'm looking forward to seeing the duo of Seulgi and Irene and solos
