It’s a mix of Midsommar not just the movie, but also about the Swedish folklore as well too. There’s also references of not only the sun, but the moon too. Joy and yeri have the sun and moon tattoos on their hands/wrists. Wendy and Irene putting flowers underneath their pillows trying to summon their significant others/husbands. Their pillows were the sun and moon too. 👍👍 So this whole MV was the girls doing many rituals to summon a potential love interests/significant other. The person who fell from the sky in the beginning of the MV and then finding and eventually chasing after that person.
I've just read an articles of the movie never claimed to represent the cultural aspect and it sure is a work of fiction, but it's a two-sided coin situation. Most internet people got exposure of the festival name from the movie. Everything aside, can't deny this mv is REALLY BEAUTIFUL
Based on the fan theories that I found on TikTok. There are so many sequences from their previous songs. Like what some folks mentioned in the comment section. It is also inspired from the Midsommar. The Midsummer maypole tradition dates from the Middle Ages, while the summer solstice celebration can be traced to Norse pagan times, when the culture revolved around the mystical natural world. For centuries, Midsummer night was considered magical, a time when the divide between the physical and spiritual realms was blurred and plants took on potent healing powers and could be used for fortune telling. Young women would pick seven different kinds of wildflowers and place them under their pillows to dream of their future husbands, a tradition that is still popular today. Wearing a flower wreath in your hair is an age-old symbol of rebirth and fertility, and these were dried and kept throughout the year, sometimes used to infuse the Christmas bath to keep the family healthy throughout the long, cold winter. Equally, walking barefoot in the dewy grass on Midsummer morning - or, better still, rolling around in it naked - was a way to ensure good health. Midsummer Eve is always celebrated on a Friday between June 19 and 25. This year, it falls on June 21, but in many places around Sweden festivities are held during the whole Midsummer weekend.
@acapsaimi9355 same, never seen it but it's all over social media so it's impressive he escaped it lol. theres so many memes and viral clips from that movie
It's inspired by the movie Midsommar but for me it is a mix of Midsommar and Mamma Mia movie with the summer vibes plus eerie/creepy notes. This song is so good and happy 10th anniversary to Red Velvet ❤
Nicely done, feels like a shoutout towards Swedish music and the whole idea of the midsommar festival. Don't they also have "Festival" as their overall concept previously? What a continuation! Despite the latest news, they just have to keep going on this way
This appears to be happening backwards, no? It starts written up in a story book already. The lyrics mention her trolling him, and troll Seulgi waves the flag sending him off the alien planet? The references seem like Chilseok there, at the end of summer. Then by the end they are all dancing around the Maypole like it is the beginning of summer. And the sun starts it off to end the song? Or am I just tripping?
nice reaction, Birb....glad our Velvet queens are back with a banger that i like, because after "Psycho" i was not that impressed with their releases until now....this is a great summer k-bop that they dropped in our laps....love it!....yea, "Cosmic" really hits my k-pop spot!
There's so many aspect RV's serve that they only have bruh their vocalization is freaking heavenly I don't see that level of vocalization in other groups dunno we are entitled with our opinion I guess 🍉🍍🍊🥝🍇

Dude try watching the midsommar movie. I bet you can't sleep. Such a horror piece it is.
