@@MatthewGaither oh! I wondered why he was wearing a skirt. I didn't know if it was a new style for him or if it was because they said it was so hot, lol. I live in a hot climate and I've honestly thought on more than one occasion of wearing a kilt.
I know this is completely off topic for a technical breakdown of the song... but can we all just take a moment to give props to RV's new stylist who has done such an incredible job this comeback?
I RECOMMEND THE RECORDING BEHIND OF QUEENDOM. Seulgi and Joy did the lines of “that’s our queendoOom” that turned into the chromatic/chord something (idk the term. I’m not well-versed in music terms)
8:55 I very much agree, this is why Red Velvet is probably my #1 group, whatever sound I could want, I know it’ll be coming to us eventually, and I know they’re gonna kill it!
This is what makes their song so fun to listen because every time you hear it again you discover a hidden adlib or a styled note you've never noticed before. Same can be said in their bsides.
About the discussion on the beginning about one of them beeing black mamba: I suppose that would probably be Irene, cause through red velvet videography she always had been put on a key position mostly, for exemple, even that this came way before SM creation of kwangya, on Rookie MV Irene has a scene where shes shown bigger than the scenario while pulling the strings where all of them appear, that's obviously for her visual/leader position, but taking it to a lore, it would be a hint of "who's behind". on queendom Irene is the only one that has the different eye colors like the cat, seeming that again she's the one behind influencing the other members on the mystical store from the teasers, and she just play pretend beeing influenced like them.
I originally have the same thoughts, but if you're watching the Queen's Archive, which is the hype-up video series for Queendom, you will see literally almost all members (except Wendy I think) are cats or have a shadow resembling a cat
@@tranthuylinh3340 yes, I noticed that, but as I said, on the MV she's the only one that has the cat eyes, I feel that SM played with the "is one of them the cat?", and I suppose on Queendom they answered that question with Irene beeing the only one referencing the cat.
In one of the concert (pretty sure it was redmare? 🤔) narrative videos Irene was orchestrating the other members experiencing dreams and nightmares, which always stuck with me.That along with other instances throughout their MV history, like as you say rookie, imo she’s often had a bit of a ‘puppeteer/ overlord / controlling supreme being’ vibe going on in the MVs, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if she’s Black Mamba. I think RV lore is subtle but I definitely think it exists and has done for years, and I suspect deeper than any of us realise. Guess SM is now weaving it into what they are establishing with the SM Universe so it may become more obvious in the future 👀
Glad a lot of u already said the reasons for Irene being Black Mamba or at least Definitely the one in charge Here are my theories for the other members Joy - the one working against Irene. In Rookie she is off the stage looking at Irene controlling the others! She always has a mirror shot in mvs. Could be aesthetic but if it's in every single one? I think it means something like she has a different perspective than the others 🤔. In Bad Boy(&Psycho too I think) she whispers to Seulgi & I think that's where she tells her of what Irene is doing. This brings us to Seulgi who I think is a double agent pretending to work with Irene but actually helping Joy. In Monster she raises the gun but then puts it away-showing that's she's only fronting while Irene stabs a doll & has a demon face literally behind Seulgi's back lmao. I think Irene sees through Seulgi at this point & Seulgi only thinks she has some control Yeri- she's seen whispering with Seulgi in Psycho, right? & in this mv she is the new girl they're all teaching....I think Yeri is a blank slate & can be swayed either way. Wendy- someone said she is the only one who want shown as a cat which is definitely worth noting. In Peekaboo she's the only one w/out a matching dress. In Psycho she seems forlorn until Joy comes & grabs her hand & is like "come on!". I think Wendy(the smcu character) sees Irene manipulating them but feels hopeless against her & Joy is the one who motivates her to keep trying. I also have theories about how this all connects to Kwangya & the rest of the smcu but we'll leave that for another day 😅
Like most of RV's great songs I think this one is going to age like fine wine. It's gotten some flack for not being experimental or as out there as some of their past releases but I think it's so well made and so nice to listen to that folks will still be smiling and bopping to Queendom many years from now.
"Transcendental beings that are in communion with the gods" - sounds like interdimensional time and space travelling witches representing the chaos in SMCU... OK, found the skeleton of the pizza delivery guy in the garden at 4:58 - they ARE evil! 💙
There's no better way to show your eternal love than (probably) devouring the target of your devotion! ^^ "Forever I got you, you got me, love you till kingdom come" *burp*
YESSS IT'S HERE, TWO OF MY FAVE LUVIES 💕💕💕 I've been a fan of this channel since the start and I'm proud to say that I can finally understand a bit of what they're saying 😭🤟 Thank you for always bringing so much insight + being our unofficial music teachers ♥️
You guys should listen to the album too. I think it's really their first title track that leans heavily on hearing the album to understand why it was made the way it is. Everything about it is simple, chill yet it keeps you interested. PLEASE REACT TO HELLO SUNSET OR PUSHIN' N PULLIN'- **ESPECIALLY PUSHIN' N PULLIN'**
It's been so long seeing something from this channel. I always find myself going back to the Peek-A-Boo, OOTN, Dumb dumb reactions. I love everyones shock. :) So great to see a reaction to Queendom. A lot of luvies don't seem to want RV in the SMCU, saying Kwangya Concept doesn't work for them, But Honestly I think it would be cool. like a connection between all the groups. Apparently In Aseul's Naughty ending, when they separate, Seulgi's background looks like Taemin's Advice? And Irene's looks like someone else's, i can't remember.
In the dream land scene where all 5 of them sitting on a dining table u can see that skeletons of the kings they've overthrown and so that they can call it their own which is called Queendom
I like the melody of Queendom and not every song need to be strong and extremely happy vibe every time. But to be honest in first listen I don’t know how to feel about this song 😂, it’s just so pretty and ‘bling bling’ hehe..
I guess at least up til now Red Velvet has little or nothing to do with Kwangya, I bet they don't even know the plot 😂 their plot is just killing man, being the rainbow queens 🤣🤣🤣 ohh and Irene being the Ice Cream Cake cat(?)
@@Enj0yme that the story Red Velvet has written doesn't continue with the newly added wilderness. I don't think the wilderness has anything to do with Red Velvet.. I just wish I could continue making stories of Red Velvet as it has been doing! Translation
Well, I don't want kwangya thing in their concepts... They have a very different elegant concept and they have their own concept... Yes, they are a part of SMCU but I think only aseul unit has that concept. And ya IRENE is the cat...
I felt tension in the song but in a little tingly way that made me go like ooh~~ bc of the tonic shifts but overall the atmosphere is so light and bouncy
@@shelindanga5171 idk for sure, but you can check the link in the description (the "reaction schedule" one), after you've opened it just scroll a little and you'll find their "will not be reacting to list", they explain why they aren't reacting to certain releases there
sean's red velvet skirt, omfg. iconic.
I'm so slow. I just realized the significance of the RED VELVET skirt, lol.
@@MatthewGaither
Same. If I can't make these simple connections I will never be able to make sense of SM universe 🙃
@@MatthewGaither oh! I wondered why he was wearing a skirt. I didn't know if it was a new style for him or if it was because they said it was so hot, lol. I live in a hot climate and I've honestly thought on more than one occasion of wearing a kilt.
I didn't even realize it was a red velvet skirt 😭
Ikrr
wendy was tearing them adlibs uppp in the back gawdd she was going off
She was indeed
Wendy slaying those vocals in the live performances were a treat! If you're a Wendy fan and you haven't seen the encores, GO SEE THEM!
Every red velvet song ever
Wendy's adlibs and riffs and runs live in my head on the daily 🤣🤣🤣
Even the producers were losing their minds💀
I know this is completely off topic for a technical breakdown of the song... but can we all just take a moment to give props to RV's new stylist who has done such an incredible job this comeback?
she finally knows how to dress Yeri w clothes that fit her body porportions
It took them 7 years to make this incredible job pfft..FINALLY!!
Everyone say thank you Irene
@@noomj3922 Actually, Lee Soo Man hired her.
@@riffgroove Irene fired the last stylist
I RECOMMEND THE RECORDING BEHIND OF QUEENDOM. Seulgi and Joy did the lines of “that’s our queendoOom” that turned into the chromatic/chord something (idk the term. I’m not well-versed in music terms)
@austine rae thank uuuuu 😁😁😁😁😁
Yeri did too! :)
Yes Seulgi Joy and Yeri. maybe irene and wendy too
@@fanz7054 oh i thought it was irene?
That vid si gold

I dont know if youll love it but the beat changes in their bside POSE is so lit for me.
It might be included on their Classical & Jazz Musicians Reacts soon based on their GDocs list! We should wait for the official verdict!
POSE is absolutely bonkers, I love it
POSE POSE STRIKE A POSE POSE AND POSE

Let's keep Red Velvet, SNSD, SuJu, and Shinee away from Kwangya and let them focus on just the music 🎶🎵
Glad a lot of u already said the reasons for Irene being Black Mamba or at least Definitely the one in charge
Here are my theories for the other members
Joy - the one working against Irene. In Rookie she is off the stage looking at Irene controlling the others! She always has a mirror shot in mvs. Could be aesthetic but if it's in every single one?

You couldn’t have been more correct Ive been listening to it on loop for like hours 😭
ur right… i just now started to appreciate this song more 😭😭
Sean's skirt is *chef's kiss*
"Transcendental beings that are in communion with the gods" - sounds like interdimensional time and space travelling witches representing the chaos in SMCU...
OK, found the skeleton of the pizza delivery guy in the garden at 4:58 - they ARE evil! 💙
Reminds me they had an amazing religious-experience song name Kingdom Come.
There's no better way to show your eternal love than (probably) devouring the target of your devotion! ^^
"Forever I got you, you got me, love you till kingdom come" *burp*
Riffs: Wendy -> Wendy -> Seulgi -> Seulgi -> Joy -> Wendy! Not sure if that makes sense but Seulgi & Joy shared an adlib during Wendy’s part :)
when Sean pointed out the music sounded like reverb-y clouds even before the cloud scene in the MV
This song is getting better and better everytime I listening to it.
SM songwriters really just know how to write Red songs - so much fun
Also, looking great, Sean!
Wendy's doing most of the adlibs towards the end, with Seulgi (and Joy, think?) doing some when Wendy sings the main melody
queendom is such a feel good song i love it
Can't wait for your 'Queendom Album First Listen' 🤩

I KEEP REFRESHIN AND CHECKING ON THIS CHANNEL FOR A REDVELVET QUEENDOM REACT HUHUHU I LOVE THE WAY YOU ALL REACT TO KPOP
ITS VERY EDUCATIONAL.
I thought this song is really simple but when they play piano and explain about the chord, wow it is not as simple as I think😳

I like Sean
Someone be my Sean
I have soft spot for ppl who respect rv musically
Could you imagine having to explain to someone from the 17th century the whole 1:34 conversation
I guess at least up til now Red Velvet has little or nothing to do with Kwangya, I bet they don't even know the plot 😂
their plot is just killing man, being the rainbow queens 🤣🤣🤣 ohh and Irene being the Ice Cream Cake cat(?)
their MV's stories just go back to their own MV's after all 😂
