Another great reaction but since you guys were so caught up on the fruit I figured I'd explain as someone who was following the comeback from the individual teasers! So basically the song and mv are really clever because they compare the feelings of missing youth and summer and all those lovely feelings like having a summer love and maturing to fruit. Each member has a designated different fruit i.e. Irene = Watermelon, Seulgi = Pineapple, Wendy = Orange, Joy = Kiwi, and Yeri = Grapes. In the mv they interview each fruit about growing up, if you're fast enough you can see the english translations moving at the bottom (e.g. Joy/Kiwi - 'it hasn't been very long since I arrived to Korea' since kiwis aren't native to the country, Yeri/Grapes - 'I dreamed of becoming jam when I was younger' hence why Yeri's spreading Jam on the bread lol, Irene/Watermelon - 'I wasn't that sweet when I was young. As I grew, I became full and ripe'). There's one main caption in Korean and the captions moving below alternate between English, Japanese, Chinese and French but I think it's worth it looking for the translations since they're pretty cute and clever. They also have sign language on the side which is pretty unique and sweet. The girls also show themselves maturing and reminiscing about their pasts since Irene dresses up as a photo of herself as a child, Seulgi is getting told off by her teacher (also noted that in the Seulgi/Pineapple interview the Pineapple says they used to get told off because of their hairstyle lol) and Wendy's graduating outfit. Basically the girls also show little snippets of themselves growing. And lastly the mv also shows how the fruit are represented as the girls growing up which is again, very unique. At the beginning you see a plant being watered and sprouting and that's when you see the baby photos of the girls, when the grapes are getting wrapped in white paper Yeri is playing with the white curtains, Wendy ducks down out of frame and an Orange rolls out of its basket, a watermelon gets a certified sticker and one of the fruits gets 100% on their interview - Wendy gets a graduation outfit, the baskets of fruits are all placed together but then taken away in different directions, the girls separate at the party scene. It's again playing out growing up and maturing from the perspective of the fruits, from sprouting to getting ready to getting packaged up in their baskets. Also the parts where they switch around like fruits interviewing fruits, fruits interviewing their member counterparts and the girls interviewing their clones are just funny little transitions to show that the fruits represent the members. Sorry this was so long, it's just I really love this comeback and this mv so I want to make it that a whole lot of other people appreciate it more. A lot of people seem to think that it's cheap and a 'love story about fruit' when it's actually really well thought out and fits the quirky imagery of the song.
Thanks a lot guys! It's just something that's been hanging on me since the mv was released! I was really impressed with all the subtitles and kept pausing and making links and loved it!
Right LDN is so great🔥, but omg so is Mojito I get MAJOR summer vibes from that song😍 stay woke, don't sleep on the bop that is Summer Light/Mojito☀️✨👏
what I got from it was that red velvet was growing up (irene dressed like herself as a kid in the beginning, seulgi getting in trouble at school, wendy graduating) was like the fruit growing up (the sprout in the beginning, being watered and stuff). so like... when they're adults... they're like ripe fruit (?) lol
I thought it them growing up and getting out of school and enjoying the summer lol. There's a point in the mv where Wendy is interviewing herself, and the watermelon is interviewing itself. I think they're trying to say that the members ARE the refreshing fruits that give us that red summer that we all love.
Watermelon = Irene Kiwi = Joy Wendy = Orange Seulgi = Pineapple Yeri = Grape Courtney = Grapefruit Jasmine = Blackberries Me = Plum Fruit Punch Man = Fruit Punch
The video literally is the most crazy RV has ever done and even out of Kpop groups out now just the whole aesthetic really. I get the CF vibes tho too. But y'all need to review the whole album bc it's their best mini album and def my fave behind The Red. I think it's still has Velvet aspects but yeah it's hella red lol 🍍💛
if only you understand what the fruits were saying! it will make a bit more sense! like.. during that plane scene.. Kiwi was saying they just landed in Korea not long ago.. kiwi is an imported fruits.. so they boarded the plane. lol.. orange telling she's good friends with lime, grape asking if we know about wine.. pineapple saying it's cool to have inappopriate hairstyles, watermelon wanting to be ice cream..grape wanting to be a jam when they grow up... and so much more. the MV will make MUCH more sense if you understand it! haha. because it shows scenes according to what the fruits are saying! it's a really fun and cute MV!
Okay but basically their the fruit and it shows them growing up, and you saw the fruit growing and that's them growing up and now their all grown (hints the stick and the fruits in the basket) So yeah lol
I'm honestly just so happy that you Stan Seulgi, as she's my ultimate bias not just in RV, but in all of K-pop. Like. She's my Taemin, Cortney. haha. 🙌🙌🙌
read the english lyrics a few times and connect it with the colors and fun theme! Its actually a really warm and fuzzy concept, it has to do with finding young summer love and doing bold new things. How the feeling of summer brings colors inside and out, its cool and refreshing yet tangy and new, in a say where youre discussing with yourself (the fruit interview) and finding out new things about yourself/wanting to do what you want maturely cuz the summer brings out that part of you. (its a lot i know lol thats just how i interpreted it. the mv goes so well)
The more I listen to Red Flavor I grew into enjoying the song especially when finding out Yeri wrote the rap part the girls just went so damn red in this comeback lmao, but as far as mv goes it reminded me so much of a late night or early morning infomercial of the girls trying to find different ways to sell fruit whilst having a garden party, like you can literally image the mv playing in a repeated loop for at least 30 minutes of the girls selling their favorite fruit providing this idea what types of treats to make out of them... interestingly cute but also very sensual. just thinking about the hidden innuendos within song itself made my face blush like crazy.😳 Overall mini album is really good and perfect for summer, my favorite song however is Zoo and every time I listen I kind of wish SM made that song main promotional track instead. Red flavor is cute, but it's also like damn...girls. 😊 ❤️💛💙💚💜
I'll give a "brief" explanation of the MV: each member has a designated fruit they represent. Irene: watermelon, Seulgi: Pineapple, Wendy: Orange, Joy: Kiwi, Yeri: Grapes. In their teaser pics, they had these "interviews" as their fruits: Irene(Watermelon): "Back when I was a child, I wasn't tough like this I was very weak" hence her baby pics Seulgi(Pineapple): "I always got caught at school for having an inappropriate hair style" - she was being scolded Wendy(Orange): "I hate how I'm rolling around all the time"- she was on a skateboard and the orange fell Joy(kiwi): "It hasn't been very long since I've arrived in Korea..." - the plane scene Yeri(Grapes): "I used to dream of becoming jam when I grow up" -her with the bread and jam The interviews in the MV actually had rolling subs at the bottom(although some of the scenes weren't long enough for the eng subs). Those subs will make much more sense with the fruits.
You better know is my jam for this album!!! Jasmine was so right in saying this a red album. Last song is a bit velvety but honestly it's red all the way
Kiwi Joy, Grape Yeri, Watermelon Irene, Pineapple Seulgi, Orange Wendy. Their fruit colors match the colors from happiness. (Wendy's orange is colored blue in the MV because there are no blue fruits.) Also, what's happening in the mv is just everything summer. School is out, they're partying and it's hella refreshing.
FUCK YES I NEEDED THIS also hello cortney it's loveskkb from Instagram thanks for the likes/comments yesterday and I still stand by the statement that Don't Stop and Prism saved me
Here is my theory. During the teasers each member got a fruit and their fruit represented the color each had during happiness era. Irene = Watermelon = Red on the inside Yeri = grapes = purple in the inside Wendy = oranges = in this video it was blue on the inside Seulgi = pineapple = yellow on the inside. At first they're interviewing the fruit aka themselves and it's basically is about them growing up when it shows scenes of the plants getting water it also showed a baby picture of Irene and it simulates toddler hood, next is seulgi who is childhood and finally we have Wendy who graduated and simulates adulthood. Also what I noticed was that there were fruit talking to each other and duplicates of the members talking to each other. What this means is that basically the fruits are red velvet and vice versa or it could be that we should take care of the environment because plants are equal to humans. Anyways that is my theory
Dude you guys should react to Millic- Paradise. Ft ( Fanxychild), the MV and song are both lit AF and put me in a chill mood ( but I was still in ma feels)
She gets disgusted by things that are sticky because they can pick up hairs and other junk when you stick them to things, and she hates that, lmao XD XD
guys just react to Taemin "sexuality" but at Budokan !!! it's hella hot I've never seen this ! way better than the last performance you reacted to you'll LOVE it ^^
hello girls ....did u notice that there is a section in the mv in some parts for people who cant speak ...i dont know if they r doing the right moves but this is nice .... Sorry for my bad English 😂😂😂

IT'S FUCKING LIT
The album is phenomenal! The song "You Better Know" is a fucking BOP
Courtney could totally be the Mango of Red Velvet.
And i'm here early because I love You both
'I am here, but i am lost'
Yup.. that's me too whenever i see Seulgi. Lol
"You Better Know" is so good! They even have a live stage for this song.
Seriously I have ever Red Velvet album! They are consistently slaying! Like #queens 😘❤️😍
"In this moment I truly feel mind-fucked" - Courtney 2017

Guys read the subtitles at the beginning of the video where they're interviewing the fruits. It explains everything. :)
Best RV comeback in my opinion!!!! And the album is sO GOOD!!
I think their saying that each of them have their own talents and when they come together it makes the flavor of Red Velvet, hence 'red' flavor😉.
Please do a first listen of the album! Is sooooooo freaking good!!! Btw loved your reaction girls, I was only waiting for you to upload, thanks 💕
I'll give a "brief" explanation of the MV: each member has a designated fruit they represent. Irene: watermelon, Seulgi: Pineapple, Wendy: Orange, Joy: Kiwi, Yeri: Grapes.
In their teaser pics, they had these "interviews" as their fruits:
Irene(Watermelon): "Back when I was a child, I wasn't tough like this I was very weak" hence her baby pics
Seulgi(Pineapple): "I always got caught at school for having an inappropriate hair style" - she was being scolded
Wendy(Orange): "I hate how I'm rolling around all the time"- she was on a skateboard and the orange fell
Joy(kiwi): "It hasn't been very long since I've arrived in Korea..." - the plane scene
Yeri(Grapes): "I used to dream of becoming jam when I grow up" -her with the bread and jam
The interviews in the MV actually had rolling subs at the bottom(although some of the scenes weren't long enough for the eng subs). Those subs will make much more sense with the fruits.
The mini album is their best yet
You better know is my jam for this album!!! Jasmine was so right in saying this a red album. Last song is a bit velvety but honestly it's red all the way
Kiwi Joy, Grape Yeri, Watermelon Irene, Pineapple Seulgi, Orange Wendy. Their fruit colors match the colors from happiness. (Wendy's orange is colored blue in the MV because there are no blue fruits.)

FUCK YES I NEEDED THIS also hello cortney it's loveskkb from Instagram thanks for the likes/comments yesterday and I still stand by the statement that Don't Stop and Prism saved me
I LOVE SEULGI TOOO! :] I LOVE that I never know what their videos mean hahahaha
Lots of love from Brazil!
please do first listen to the red summer too
cancel that JUST DO ALBUM REVIEW PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE
Irene's bangs upset me.. literally upset me
I feel like they tried her life with those bangs
Pineapple SeulGi is my favorite flavor!!
Here is my theory. During the teasers each member got a fruit and their fruit represented the color each had during happiness era.
Irene = Watermelon = Red on the inside
Yeri = grapes = purple in the inside
Wendy = oranges = in this video it was blue on the inside
Seulgi = pineapple = yellow on the inside.
At first they're interviewing the fruit aka themselves and it's basically is about them growing up when it shows scenes of the plants getting water it also showed a baby picture of Irene and it simulates toddler hood, next is seulgi who is childhood and finally we have Wendy who graduated and simulates adulthood. Also what I noticed was that there were fruit talking to each other and duplicates of the members talking to each other. What this means is that basically the fruits are red velvet and vice versa or it could be that we should take care of the environment because plants are equal to humans. Anyways that is my theory
PLEASE react to Young & Free 😭👏🏽🙏🏽 Love you guys
Dude you guys should react to Millic- Paradise. Ft ( Fanxychild), the MV and song are both lit AF and put me in a chill mood ( but I was still in ma feels)
what I find really interesting is, that they did sign language, I don't know if you saw it, but I think we should credit them for trying it wow :3
Is like, they deal had a fruit so they each have their own flavor and together they make a red flavor.
ITS ABOUT TIME!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!
You guys should react to Bang Yongguk Yamazaki I've been getting lit to this song since it came out on the 4th😂

Can we talk about Courtney’s Seulgi Russian Roulette hair?
😂 what's wrong with stickers? I feel like you talked about them before
She gets disgusted by things that are sticky because they can pick up hairs and other junk when you stick them to things, and she hates that, lmao XD XD
AnimeHime69 ahh thank you 😂. I know I remember she talked about stickers in a video before. I actually love stickers lol
You should do a reaction video of this song call "Zalikha" by Floor 88. A Malaysian pop rock song. It's quite awesome!
I love how they cheated the color scheme and made the orange blue for Wendy
it also ties in with dumb dumb and how her color scheme was orange there
guys just react to Taemin "sexuality" but at Budokan !!! it's hella hot I've never seen this ! way better than the last performance you reacted to you'll LOVE it ^^
Please react to Shannon Williams Love Don't Hurt feat Lil Boi she also has a eng version with f(x) Amber
