One could spend an entire career analyzing the videos of Red Velvet. The lyrics, the images, the costumes, the themes, and so on. They never fail to raise the bar and then surpass it.
I truly think no one else is doing it like them, the details and aesthetic and cohesion of their songs and image is sooooo incredible. They have some of the best MVs and styling in the industry. When they release a song it feels like they are releasing an era instead of just a song, the whole thing is always so well done.
Finally someone who understand what the song means hand to hand with de MV. A Lot of ppl are still laughing cuz the girls we're dancing in front the police , but they we're dancing like it was the last chance to be free! Once the songs ends...their Freedom came to an end!
This entire album promotion was good enough I guess but I can't lie the album rollout that we got from the teaser and instagram thing was cathartic. They really dwelve deep into this lore and gave the song a meaning as a whole (shoutout to Joy, our trusted album spokeperson). RV does what they always do best, gave us album with a THEME! Chill kill really drag me through the emotions, the song itself and the mv oh god
This is my most favorite Red Velvet's MV ever So sad, yet so warm and inspiring while being on reality. It's like someone telling you that you're so precious even you committed something wrong, even with a huge flaw, but let's face reality, even you're wrong I still got your back we'll get pass through this. The song work so well with the video
imo chill kill has one of the best storytellings, music & concept-wise. i also hope you can react to their album trailer. it adds more depth to their whole concept. 🫶
This is the closest interpretation of chill kill. I really like how you really understand the concept of the MV and the song. The girls did a really great job and chill kill is really a fantastic song
This song is such an earworm, the video is so good and also the answer to 'what if you could film trauma bonding but make it visually compelling and oddly not heavy,' and I was jazzed to see this reaction waiting in my queue even though I somehow missed it when it dropped. I'm going to have to watch their other videos to see what other things happen when all of them are holed up in a house. I guess getting rid of an abuser in the house in this video is not nearly as sinister as luring pizza boys to their death like in Peek-A-Boo. :)
After about the 3rd listen, and more importantly, understanding what the video represents, I get emotional every time I hear this song now. I want this played at my funeral.
gosh this is one of my fav, if not my fav red velvet song. im so sad it didn't get the love it deserves because many people online weren't feeling the song
Yeah I think most K-pop fans want more simple and catchy songs and tend to ignore songs like chill kill that are musically more experimental and interesting. Also I feel like most people are to lazy to actually try and interpret the meaning of the song and mv. I think it’s genuinely one of the most interesting and artistic releases I have seen in a while. I am so proud of red velvet for doing music for the arts not the charts, they aren’t afraid of experimenting
love how in depth and detailed your analysis is, you picked up on things that i never noticed which makes me appreciate the creative directors behind kpop's mv concepts even more.
I can't thank PD enough for posting this reaction on UA-cam. The moment I heard this song I knew PD would understand how good this song and MV isss. RED VELVET NEVER DISSAPPOINT
Several things you've said in this video, Seulgi herself has made confirmation earlier, we could also check on behind the scenes. Yup, it was their abusive father locking them up on basement, Wendy unwillingly committed murder to end the nightmare (or terror) they have been experiencing, and the rest of plot really thickens lol until they ultimately committed arson to erase the evidence, but they eventually got caught.
your analysis is great! it's nice to see a reaction vid of chill kill really getting into the nuances of both the song and mv like hands down this is one of rv's most artistic and brilliant comeback yet. it's a shame others didn't connect the same way with this album.
Since Psyko i don’t have the feeling for Red Velvet tracks, but with ChillKill omg, i just love and this is my girls ! Plus Yeri shines more than ever in this comeback and this make me feel so happy too ! Love the creepy-classy-elegant-fairy vibes. Only Red Velvet can do this now!
Chill kill is one of my fave mv along with cosmic, i just love it when they do a story in the music video. Thank you for reacting to this i enjoyy it so muchh
I really wish you would keep ALL your community updated - that is, not just the people who go over to Patreon, but the people who have been supporting over here and in other platforms for years. A community post on YT telling the rest of us what is going on would not hurt anyone, in fact, it would help a lot since I have been seeing a lot of people coming and asking about your whereabouts and wellbeing for weeks now. People are genuinely worried about you, PD. I don't mean to sound mean, but you cannot simply abandon your audience without saying a single word, post 30 videos every two months and expect everyone to understand when you have been keeping us in the dark. This isn't even about kpop reactions videos anymore, this is about being honest with your community across different platforms. That being said, I hope you are doing well, or, I guess, better, and that life only continues to get better and better for you. Sending you a big hug, PD.
Yes PD we were all that jaws agape with the vocals, the sound, the visuals and the concept! I have been waiting for the past 3 weeks for this. I know you uploaded a lot of videos but this was the event that I was waiting for! Hope you can cover the Killing Voice as well. don't get into the rabbit hole of the lore hahaha you will get sucked in and want either a short series or a movie with a creepy, mystery vibe with all 5 cake girls.
Only people with great taste in music and good eyes for MV's will appreciate/stan Red Velvet. Thank you, PD! I knew you will like Chill Kill because of its aesthetic.
Chill kill is so good the vocals are literally peak and red velvet always has the best story telling. I really hope you react to drama by aespa as well. It also has great story telling in the video.
This is the 5th time disappearing more than a month, just giving us false hopes by uploading a bunch of old patreon videos and then vanishing, there is a ton of missed releases, like kiss of life already debuted 6 months ago……
Finally!!!!! Huhuhu Been waiting for your reaction and review for Chill Kill! I hope you can review VIXX's Amnesia too! I really love your reaction videos because you point out symbolisms in the music videos which will help the people understand the story better. You give explanations/justifications to the decisions and choices of the director/s and the art department.
1:00 about what you say in this timestamp... at least, one person you may like K-pop a little more. In 2018, I was frustrated with my job and i started studying to become a video editor, and I found your channel out of nowhere. I had never even listened to a K-pop song entirely, and that day I watched at least 5 videos from you reacting to iKON and Stray Kids. So yeah, I'm not an expert in K-pop, I'm not an expert in how people can influence others on the internet, but in my opinion, you are a great way to introduce people to and make them like K-pop. (and btw, english is not a language that im fluent, so sorry for how bad it is xdd)
This reminds me of something i heard a few years ago. Basically someone kidnapped 3 girls and locked them in his house for years. When they got out they said they sometimes danced with each other and had pillow fights, and that these moments were the few times where they were able to forget all the abuse and pain, and just be kids again (i dont think they killed him though). This MV hits hard!! It instantly became one of my absolute favorites.
chill kill was an EXPERIENCE! it's one of the rare instances where the mv not only compliments, but elevates the song! while there were definitely a lot of good releases this year, something i havd noticed in recent kpop is that a lot of times, the mv has nothing to do with the teasers. the teasers promise something and the mv and song delivers something else. it has disappointed me quite a bit with some other comebacks, but red velvet actually kept their promise and gave us an mv that relates closely to the teasers. this might be my favourite red velvet song yet, everything about it is just the perfect mix of horror, tragedy and a strange wholesomeness.
Again, this is a song that needs several listenings in order to really get it and enjoy it. Except for the bridge, that I fell in love with the very first time I heard it ❤ Anyway, I just love this song so much now, and even more and more ! Please do a reaction for the whole album, there are such good songs on it !!!
《Chill Kill》 1. I have been waiting for you to break the silence. You are so charming, just like the lightning and thunder. 2. Thinking back on the past, remembering your lightness at my (heart) door, our games were so sweet. 3. The feeling of drowning in love once made me so intoxicated. 4. Nowadays, thoughts like “Will I ever see you again?” often arise. 5. Such thoughts are now like a nightmare that keep haunting me. 6. A feeling as cold and bitter as iced coffee. 7. Will recall that one sweet kiss. 8. This feeling is driving me crazy. I really want to knock down all the obstacles. 9. I am very happy at this moment. No matter what kind of night it is, the sunrise will always come out, just like a butterfly will eventually spread its wings and fly. 10. Let all the beautiful and sweet moments in the past be treasured in our hearts.
Somehow it reminds me of the movie Room: 1. The girls are locked together in the basement, relying on each other and forming a strong bond in captivity 2. They fantasize about living in an imaginary happy world to not get hopeless (Joy's pov Instagram posts before the mv release say how she looks at the world with only one eye) 3. They escape from the abuser physically (and the basement), but are not able to leave the place behind mentally (Yeri and Irene's scene) 4. They burn down the place; despite that they might get locked up later (this time in a cell), they are finally able to leave the 'Room' Loved your videos!!
Love your reaction to Chill Kill. Very insightful, nothing I have to add. If you're not aware of the group Kiss of Life, do so immediately. Their debut a few months ago was fabulous. Four solo videos and two group videos. The order - Natty, Belle, Julie, Hanuel, Bye My Neverland and Shh. The videos are cinematic and the music is wonderful. Hope you get to know them.
Wahh thank you for the amazing video I loved chill kill!!! I’d love to see you do an episode of the kulture study on Guilty by Taemin out of all his mvs I’m the most curious about your thoughts on this one!! If you do I definitely recommend watching the mv teaser as well because there is some footage in it that isn’t in the mv.
I know you probably have a lot of stuff to react to already but A.C.E released “Effortless” recently and I think you’d enjoy their new vibe after coming back from the military! Chan isn’t in it cause he wasn’t back yet but yeah. thank you and keep up the good work!
I've heard that the whole music video is backwards, they got caught by the police for setting the house on fire after killing the abusive father(?), then during the start of the vid until the bridge, its just them each other trying to cover up the assasination. In the music teaser you can hear the song if you played it backwards.
Feel My Rhythm and Chill Kill, I wish I could experience them for the first time again
sameee here :(
sameeeeeeeeeeee
Agree
You mentioned my two favourite Rv title tracks!
the orchestral vibes r nothing i've heard in my life
Wendy said during her appearance on Lee Mujin's Service that this song contains "the duality of hopefulness and tragedy"
Oo which they need to react to!! 🙏
As always they said that was a Bright Tragedy, red and velvet...this song is a perfect mix
Please react to this PD
I hope you can get to the Red Velvet Killing Voice, PD. It's so fantastic!
That's facts
Such a great episode!
yup!!
And Wendy on Lee Mujin
he already did, it's on his patreon
One could spend an entire career analyzing the videos of Red Velvet. The lyrics, the images, the costumes, the themes, and so on. They never fail to raise the bar and then surpass it.
I truly think no one else is doing it like them, the details and aesthetic and cohesion of their songs and image is sooooo incredible. They have some of the best MVs and styling in the industry. When they release a song it feels like they are releasing an era instead of just a song, the whole thing is always so well done.
Finally someone who understand what the song means hand to hand with de MV.
A Lot of ppl are still laughing cuz the girls we're dancing in front the police , but they we're dancing like it was the last chance to be free!
Once the songs ends...their Freedom came to an end!
Exactly - they are still free even with the police closing in, because they have freed themselves from their trauma and they are together.
YUHHHH WE FINNALLY GOT THE CHILL KILL REACTION 😫💪🏽
Finally!
yesss^^
Might be the most beautiful bridge I've ever heard in Kpop.
This entire album promotion was good enough I guess but I can't lie the album rollout that we got from the teaser and instagram thing was cathartic. They really dwelve deep into this lore and gave the song a meaning as a whole (shoutout to Joy, our trusted album spokeperson). RV does what they always do best, gave us album with a THEME! Chill kill really drag me through the emotions, the song itself and the mv oh god
This is my most favorite Red Velvet's MV ever
So sad, yet so warm and inspiring while being on reality.
It's like someone telling you that you're so precious even you committed something wrong, even with a huge flaw, but let's face reality, even you're wrong I still got your back we'll get pass through this.
The song work so well with the video
We got both the red and the velvet and it is somehow a creepier combination than expected
4:49 the synth at the bridge sent me to heaven and never back!
imo chill kill has one of the best storytellings, music & concept-wise.
i also hope you can react to their album trailer. it adds more depth to their whole concept. 🫶
This is the closest interpretation of chill kill. I really like how you really understand the concept of the MV and the song. The girls did a really great job and chill kill is really a fantastic song
This song is such an earworm, the video is so good and also the answer to 'what if you could film trauma bonding but make it visually compelling and oddly not heavy,' and I was jazzed to see this reaction waiting in my queue even though I somehow missed it when it dropped.
I'm going to have to watch their other videos to see what other things happen when all of them are holed up in a house. I guess getting rid of an abuser in the house in this video is not nearly as sinister as luring pizza boys to their death like in Peek-A-Boo. :)
After about the 3rd listen, and more importantly, understanding what the video represents, I get emotional every time I hear this song now.
I want this played at my funeral.
Me too 😭😭😭
YESS YOU GOT THE MEANING BEHIND THIS MV 😭😭😭
Red Velvet New album is also 10 out of 10
THEY NEVER DISAPPOINT
If tragedy and hope is a song it would be this
gosh this is one of my fav, if not my fav red velvet song. im so sad it didn't get the love it deserves because many people online weren't feeling the song
Yeah I think most K-pop fans want more simple and catchy songs and tend to ignore songs like chill kill that are musically more experimental and interesting.

I am so proud of red velvet for doing music for the arts not the charts, they aren’t afraid of experimenting
Of all the amazing SM bridges out there, this might be my favorite of all time. It's just soooooo beautiful
Best songs of the year ❤🎉 REDVELVET ❤

red velvet always bringing something new to the table!! i love chill kill so much!! i hope you get to watch their killing voice, it's amazing as well
레드 벨벳은 항상 옳다. 새 엘범이 나오면 너무 기대하게 만들 수 있는 몇 안되는 그룹.
Red Velvet music always inspiring me. Chill Kill is such a great song, and MV was very well made too!
Since Psyko i don’t have the feeling for Red Velvet tracks, but with ChillKill omg, i just love and this is my girls ! Plus Yeri shines more than ever in this comeback and this make me feel so happy too ! Love the creepy-classy-elegant-fairy vibes. Only Red Velvet can do this now!
Chill kill is one of my fave mv along with cosmic, i just love it when they do a story in the music video. Thank you for reacting to this i enjoyy it so muchh
Get ready for Red Velvet 2023 Domination❤🧡💙💚💜
Chill Kill is heartbreaking for me, and it deserves an analysis and reaction from you. Can't wait for your video for Taemin's Guilty!
the chorus part is so satisfying to hear
I LOOOOOVE THIS ALBUM one of my favourites of all time
I really wish you would keep ALL your community updated - that is, not just the people who go over to Patreon, but the people who have been supporting over here and in other platforms for years.

That being said, I hope you are doing well, or, I guess, better, and that life only continues to get better and better for you. Sending you a big hug, PD.

OMG! I loved this MV. RED VELVET has never failed to some of the best Songs and Music Videos in KPop.
This is the 5th time disappearing more than a month, just giving us false hopes by uploading a bunch of old patreon videos and then vanishing, there is a ton of missed releases, like kiss of life already debuted 6 months ago……

bro upload more, you're the best
the vocals r too epic i'm screaming so hard... the instrumental and power they gave was 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
8:37 I have been thinking the same since it released!! I'm sure 'a tale of two sisters' is the big inspiration here.
Thank you for reaction them!
I can't wait to watch you hear the album 😭
i LOVE how they just do not follow trends and that’s what makes Red Velvet who they are.
1:00 about what you say in this timestamp... at least, one person you may like K-pop a little more. In 2018, I was frustrated with my job and i started studying to become a video editor, and I found your channel out of nowhere.

Thankss~~!!!
WHAT A COMEBACK !!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
best song of the year. It is so rich MUSICALLY that we can’t eveb descibe, rv is always bringing something unexpected
This reminds me of something i heard a few years ago. Basically someone kidnapped 3 girls and locked them in his house for years. When they got out they said they sometimes danced with each other and had pillow fights, and that these moments were the few times where they were able to forget all the abuse and pain, and just be kids again (i dont think they killed him though). This MV hits hard!! It instantly became one of my absolute favorites.
I think Chill Kill is both a musical and visual masterpiece. Only Red Velvet could execute this concept ❤️
4:14 that face :))))
YOU FINALLY REACTED TO RV AGAIN!!! Luv ur reactions😭🫶
I feel I want to dance everytime I hear their songs hahaha
chill kill was an EXPERIENCE! it's one of the rare instances where the mv not only compliments, but elevates the song!

FINALLY! ❤
YOU NEED TO REACT TO THEIR ALBUM ITS A MASTERPIECE !! BEST ALBUM IN KPOP SINCE A WHILE
Wahh thank you for the amazing video I loved chill kill!!! I’d love to see you do an episode of the kulture study on Guilty by Taemin out of all his mvs I’m the most curious about your thoughts on this one!! If you do I definitely recommend watching the mv teaser as well because there is some footage in it that isn’t in the mv.
Omg finally I missed you
you gotta watch the album trailer!! its super cinematic and creepy
I know you probably have a lot of stuff to react to already but A.C.E released “Effortless” recently and I think you’d enjoy their new vibe after coming back from the military! Chan isn’t in it cause he wasn’t back yet but yeah. thank you and keep up the good work!

Yessssssssss
i hope you will upload the streaming party or reaction videos to their albums!
