It's sad that people easily judged the song for being weird/bad when the lyrics are actually motivating
Elss Bitchh I'm glad you appreciate it now 😀 *hugs*
some people want to listen to the music, not the words
Bei Bei I cant go one day without dancing or singing the song
ZIMZALABIM
It's sad really :
Bruh. i'm dancing this inside the bathroom HAHAHA
"Taking control of your own joy.."
"Not that Joy"
lol..again?😂
THAT GOT ME AHAHAHAHAHA
Horen LastTeacher Saw this RIGHT as he said it 😂
It's like a previous video 'It's a win-win for everyone. Not that winwin'
I thought i heard it wrong.. Lol
My Joy rights have been taken away
Fact: Zimzalabim is a word to complete a trick like abracadabra. It composed of 3 names Zim,Zala, and Bim the tricksters demon
What is that? Sorry i am just curious
I am NCTrash cuz it's good for environment its like a magic spell/trick. Zimzalabim is Indonesian
@@lyttlemonsta Simsalabim is also a german word, which means satan.

“who is the one putting them under this spell”
me: SM
Heh I thought the exact same xD
@@geosjustvibing5741 same
Everything has a deep meaning
I thought that but then also thought fans
Who’s the one sleeping on them ?
Me: also SM lol
The song was weird and trippy because it feels like a wild carnival 🎡 which is suppose to feel like a roller coaster ride of emotions.
Especially the zimzalabim chorus, it was very hypnotizing
Yeah the chorus makes me feel weird but it's a good weird
I think you nailed it!
And take a risk, they try to not go with what's like the rules of "good music" right now, but i think the next days are gonna show how talking that risk will make them fall
@@danieldiaz615
As much as I hate to admit this, you're totally right and tbh it makes me afraid. Since the moment I watched zimzalabim, I knew people could consider this as the rbb 2.0 (because of the messy parts). But who's a true fan wouldn't leave the fandom because of this, and I hope.
@@danieldiaz615 mm I'm not too sure about that considering how well the song is doing on the charts and this album did outsell their past releases. it was a risk but it seems like it's paying off so far.
RV keeps getting scarier and scarier each comeback but I love it 👍🏾🙌🏾🥰
Truee
Yeah... Now finale day is coming..
Get ready for Psycho...wait what am I saying you're never ready for a Red Velvet comeback
SAME!!!
This wouldn't have made sense with umpha umpha but now that we know the truth, zimzalabim is less scary than umpha umpha 😭😭😭
I have a theory
I feel like this song is about being hypnotized to be happy because before the chorus, they sound happy and sing about dreams and stuff. But when the chorus comes, they sing it in a different kind of tone. The kind of tone to hypnotize you.
definitely
Really I thought to they sound so scary/serious compared to the rest of the song
creepy explanation, i like it
I love it how you have a theory for everything 😂
Because almost every single kpop music video has a message or story behind
Itzel Montalvo it’s crazy because a lot of people say that girl groups songs don’t have any meaning behind it, little did they know, most girl groups songs has deep meaning behind each and every songs they sing.

wth, that last part was creepy asf. but remember...
...SEULGI'S RED PANTS!! ❤
That soundddddd at the end i am gonna cry😨
IN. DEED.
ikr it creeped me out too 😭
Agree the ending is very weird
She came back with the bangs at least but no red pants 🤧🤧🤧🤧
Girl whenever I watch a kpop music video I only see a mess like how do y’all analyze that shit so good 😭😭😭
Yeah i mean kpop junkee is fakin smart brain
Peek A Boo?
Haha sameeee😂😂
Kpop Junkee said he watches the video 17 times and reads the lyrics 17 times
I THINK I CRACKED THE CODE!!
RV has been wanting you since the ICC. RV has been telling that you're making them feel "Crazy" and "Dumb". RV felt like the victim but they've been waiting for you on OOTN.
So they wanted to feel like you're the victim in RR. That they are trying to engrave you with their name on it. Trying to win your heart.
So they've won your heart in Rookie. But they've telling you not to look into other girls as you took their heart and they took yours. But the ending of Rookie is not what it seems, sort of like they are hiding something.
Red Flavor is like you're on a first date with them, but they're drugging you with cocktails (Irene's rap) and that you are truly drugged (Yeri's rap).
Peek a Boo explains that they fall in love easily and that they wanted to try something new. So they let you play a game of trust with them, but you escaped (the MV's ending)
You are not the only victim.
Bad Boy explains that they're actually THAT powerful. It explains the reason why the MV doesn't have a "boy" but they're actually referring to YOU. So they shot you with their LOVE.
Power up explains that they're stronger than ever, after they shot you. Cute but its actually darker than you think, they found another victim.
RBB explains that they are in love with an another Bad Boy, but this time, the real one. So they also captured him.
The rest is history. Zimzalabim is their true plan of why they capture you and the other bois (fans).
Zimzalabim is an incantation for Happiness.
Verse 1 explains the reason of getting disappointed, that's why they need to see what you really want.
Pre-Chorus explains why you don't need to be worried (reason why the beat and the mood suddenly changes)
This also explains that "Zimzalabim" is the only incantation that gives you the Happiness.
Chorus is basically them chanting the Zimzalabim.
So basically, Zimzalabim is like a drug that gets better everytime you chant it. The tune and the beat gets better and sicker, giving you the feeling of you getting better.
The "Nanananana" part will remind you of Happiness "Lalalalala", but are they really following the values of Happiness?
(read the lyrics of Happiness)
Sorry for the long post! But I think Red Velvet has one the greatest storytelling of all MVs out there. Hooray for the 5 years!
Wow that's cool! Also, Sim, Sala, ans Bim are names of demons, and Simsalabim is also a german word, which means satan.
at the end of peek-a-boo the delivery guy didn't escape tho
@@praisethelordgriffith8338 so theyre chanting catchy demon names? no thanks

i love how in peekaboo it was speculated wendy was the ring leader and now irene is the ring leader here. UGH THEIR CONCEPT ALWAYS AMAZES ME. it’s definitely mystery meets chic meets girly, suiting for their name red velvet.
i think Rookie gave a hint about Irene
People: Why do you like ZIMZALABIM?
Me: Pants
People: What about it?
Me: It turned purple from red
It kinda look like a skirt too
No Face yea I agree but whatever Seulgi wears I call them pants
No Face it’s a pair of of biker shorts that they put a fringe skirt over 😸
Seulgi rarely wearing skirt except for uniform

@@nabil731 and so what... I don't get it😭 if it goes down what i'm so curious
can someone please explain to me
@@chiarabdc must come down. In context to the video, they're in a spell on a dreamland, they need to come back down to reality. That's how I see it. Day 2 might be a darker side of reality but keeping the carnival theme somehow
@@chiarabdc actually i don't really understand too haha
Kpop Junkie: Just like Rollercoasters Just Like Gravity What goes up.......
Me: Go ZIMBZALLABIM
I think the message is “you control your own destiny. Let yourself loose and dream.” Each one of them was not only a guest but also operated some part of the park (Wendy is a ticket agent, Joy operates the elevator, Yeri the roller coaster Seulgi with her Hall of Mirrors etc...) They are giving themselves permission to go for it and dream. Irene does seem like the person who cast the spell just like in Rookie. She’s always staring at the camera and turns to look at subtly in one of the choruses while everyone had their back turned. She must be the Magician.
Me: bops to Zimzalabim
Kpop Junkie: _hold my tea_
Lol no... It's hold Seulgi's pants XD
Bruh I thought a whole scandal was happening 🤠💅🏼
Candy qloss *thousands of people have died, oh wait, now millions of people have died after the new release of Zimzalabim. Has SM made Red Velvet just too gorgeous that people die? Is this the new bird box? Come back on KJ News Station to see the rest.*

My head: at 1:12 the lyrics said "flat earth" therefore Red Velvet is hinting that they're flat earthers.
No I think it's a metaphor???
@@assdead3838 issa joke
2:51
you say that everyone is happy but look at joy lmao
NO WONDER THE PART WHERE THEY REPEAT "ZIMZALABIM ZIMZIMZALABIM ZIMZIMZALABIM ZIM ZIM" SOUNDS LIKE A SPELL, OR TO SOME, A CULT.
i mean it makes sense; they're flat earthers
@@henrystoes6508 oh my gosh XD XD
It is actually something like Abracadabra in some languages
why is this shit scaring me
Fluffy mateee!!! You’ve opened my eyes
To me, since the album is called The ReVe Festival: Day One, Zimzalabim sounds like the introduction to the carnival. That’s why to me it sounds silly and trippy
*STAN TALENT PPL*
Yeah, get ready for things to get dark for Day 2 (which I'm all for because dark!Red Velvet is the best Red Velvet).
@Ariel Hunt is there really a "Day 2" for this album?
Jonna Lyn Dalumpines I believe since this is Day 1 there has to be a sequence of days, I’m not sure how many but Day 2 should be next.
@@angeloz__ Ywah, they said at their showcase that this was basically a trilogy. So we just had Day 1, then Day 2 will probably be released sometime later in the summer and then the Finale which will come out around the fall.
Definition of Zimzalabim: a magical word such as “abracadabra” or “alakazam”, it is split into 3 parts Zim, Zala, and Bim the trickster demons. Take that into consideration
Simsalabim is also a german word, which means satan.
@@praisethelordgriffith8338 no it isn’t....it’s a magical word not satan
@@praisethelordgriffith8338 yea but that’s not the zimzalabim the song was about 😐
@@praisethelordgriffith8338 zimzalabim is a swedish phrase like abracadabra
I remember when Wendy’s line was
“When you cast a spell everyone becomes happy”
KPJ: What goes up...
Me, in my mind: must come down
KPJ: ends video
Me: surprised pikachu
Emely Velez same
Me: Hamster Jo Yuri
Emely Velez thanks what I was thinking! I thought he was gonna say more.
Same
gonna come down in his next video for Day 2
Here’s my theory for the trilogy:
I think that Irene is going to to be the person who makes their dreams become reality!
Well it's always Irene
@@yozume8859 is Irene the center?Sorry I just heard about red velvet last month and still learning
Ditas Obien She is the leader of the group,she is the oldest,she is the main rapper and lead dancer plus visual
@@ditasobien9759 Yes
@@-s_444 Thank you!
Just a theory, but I feel like Zimzalabim really hit me personally so here’s my take on it. Junkee already hit a lot of insightful points so think of this as me adding to that a little bit.
I felt like RV were touching on the wonders but also dangers of finding happiness through daydreaming. Like their other messages about shifting perspectives and using your imagination to find happiness this one kind of twists that idea into something darker. They get taken (or hypnotized) into a place of wonder and fun while talking about the high you get while finding your purpose, chasing your dreams, finding who you are. Like a magic trick (the phrase zimzalabim was popularized within stage magic) its wonderful in the moment but is essentially a trick, an illusion. Something fake to make you happy. “Throwing away your worries over the “flat” earth” (probably implying that they’re not flat earthers after all jk) The lyrics talk about finding happiness but in a way that kind of implies running away from the restrictive world that has you numb to its pain (maybe because you’ve already resigned yourself to the defeat that maybe you can’t chase your dreams after all). Because you find the outside world with less hope, you daydream yourself into one where your dreams all come true to find fake magical happiness. But I think these two ideas of fakeness and happiness come together to create a realistic but fairly positive and uplifting message. The lyrics mention that you find your true self inside this dream, them commenting on how happy you are and how your eyes shine brightly with hope. This is the wonder, the positive aspect of dreaming. As if to look inside yourself to find what gives you happiness and what motivates you to chase this happiness by any means even within yourself. The bridge feels like the turning point of the song where they tell you to keep yourself from wandering off too far with this inward chasing, telling you that “the dream is inside you.” that phrase suddenly means two things at once; that your dream, your happiness will stay inside your mind until you let it out and chase it in the real world, while also meaning that you have this drive, this dream inside you that is wonderful and gives you great potential.
And then the song picks up into a happier, louder version of the chorus, and suddenly, like magic, phrase zimzalabim means something else. Something much more wonderful.
This is exactly what I thought while watching the video and I'm surprised this comment isn't more popular.
It kind of give me chills, the lyrics describe what I have been dealing with all my life and I feel attacked lol
"not that joy" - KpopJunkiee
Always my all time fav
Junkee: breaks down Red Velvet
Me: oh crap I just got chills ~~~
Sweetless Suga YO SAME
Omg riiiiigggght
I prefer this kind of videos as compare to reaction videos. Thank you KPOP Junkee for your amazing theories, it makes me appreciate the music videos more! You deserve so many followers. 🍵
SMoothies Elfzen flavour sometimes the reaction is fake. Thats why i dont like reaction video
Any kpop group: *breathes in mv
Kpop Junkee: They represent some kind of a hidden meaning about let......................
P.S. No shade thou it's just a meme and I LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!!
I got goosebumps in the last part, right when you said “what goes up” I was like “DAMN”
Wendy in that long bob haircut bias wreck me SO HARD 🥰😭
I don’t care if the song sounds weird or is a flop to people - it’s oddly intriguing with a beautiful and motivating message. 😤✊🏼
((edit: okay that last bit of the video scared me, wHAT arE YOU MEANING •o• ))
Matthew Tenorio_3200654 tbh I was living for the English bits and heavily disliked the chorus since it felt .. out of place?? but yeah, after a few listens and understanding of the concept - i began to like it. uwu
shreya hosalikar yup, same. I guess that’s the magic of RV. ✨
What goes up, goes down so therefor we will be having a girl crush concept from RV after this.
Actually, seeing this, I love the song even more (I loved it since first listen tho) it goes perfectly with the concept, they try something different, even if it's not gonna be enjoyed by everybody, like they take that risk
Zimzalabim is a bop, my fav rv title track as of now
And this video makes me love it even more 😆

_Red velvet is always about dark concepts, isn't they?_
can we pls talk about how the lyrics refer to the earth being FLAT
Can you talk about Side Effects by Stray kids too? Cause I’m honestly confused and have a theory but mostly confused
That was so cool, dude.
Kpop Junkee: "What goes up..."
In my mind:"Goes Down"
Appreciate this video so much! Now the instrumental also makes more sense since it also apply in the music. U see, they didn't build this song as a normal known structure but breaks it into something completely unique and different. 👏👏👏
Yeah!! Cool observation!
Once a red velvet song comes out
K-pop jungkee: New Video 👍
n o t t h a t j o y
y e s t h a t j o y 😎
I stayed up til 4 for these LEGENDS. The QUEENS of Summer have already made history with this BOP! And yes! The messages!
I stayed up till 5 anything for love anything for Red Velvet😘💖
Just hear me out...
Day 1: The day they arrive, enter the elevator, get "knocked out/hipnotized" on their way to the carnival
Day 2: The carnival turns out to be a horror(ish) show where the next comeback will a HELL OF A LOT darker, kinda scarier/creepier(?) or with dark undertones
Day 3/Finale to the trilogy: They manage to escape which means the comeback after Day 2 will be back as a happier theme
Anyone agrees?
What is your opinion KPOP Junkee?
lol happy
KJ, I proud of u... u recorded a video without fanboying over anyone glowing.
NOW BRING IT BACK.
OMG I love their new comeback! I can't stop listening to it :3
I love and appreciate you so much! Just wanted to let you know 🥺💞

You’ve honestly have gotten me to appreciate KPOP even more than I already did. Yes the melodies and sounds are great. And yes the choreography is amazing. But when looking into the lyrics, like you always do, it’s more than just those things. Thank you for continuing to focus on the deeper aspects of these songs and artists!
ur a genius i have no idea how u come up with these explanations and present it so well
*OH my goodness, FINALLY!*

Hope you enjoyed it!

Me: finish the damn sentenceeee
This gave me goosebumps, their message is so beautiful.
Hearing your explaination of the song and the mv just gave me shivers
YOU LET ME SEE A WHOLE NOTHER TURN ON THIS MV
Glad I can help!
Irene's era. Period.
I like the message, they did good and I liked the way you dissected it
i missed these videos, you're phenomenal. changed my whole perspective about the song!
After you mentioned rookie I noticed that in both of the mv's joy is the one who is "introducing" the other members to something in the rookie mv she brought the weed or what ever that was to the other members and in the zimzalabim mv she was the one who "invited" them in the elevator (sorry for my bad English)
Random but congrats on 200,000 did you Did you recieve the silver play button yet
You really know we need this vid so much😍
your voice is what makes everything become more intense. I have kept my mouth open throughout the video.
I feel like day 2 is gonna be like a dark, badass concept. Because when you listen to the whole ep and than like the last moment of the song LP, it slows down and then it stops..
Cant explain it but i feel like its gone be a whole different mood

It just amazes me how you manage to see all this and make sense of it, with all of the chaos going on in the video. An eye for detail is an understatement
