One Of These Night.The MV has a deep meaning, which is to tell the story of the drowning of the students while boarding the Sewol ship which made all Koreans grieve.
Irene's rap break: You need to “Beat It” That boy Michael Jackson “Bad” I’m not your “Billie Jean” Don’t you “Leave Me Alone” But you’re so ambiguous, I want “Black or White” I can’t give up on you, my “Man in the Mirror” Followed by Joy's: “Why You Wanna Trip on Me” You’re too harsh Boy, you make me “Scream” Why am I like this? Well, your “Love really Never Felt So Good” It’s so electrifying that it’s like watching the “Thriller”
I'm insomnia, so i think that, in general, dreamcatcher is the best. But, RV is Amazing too, especially With harmony. And Yes, wendy is the best vocalist of the 3 gen.
So you should really look up the theories of the meaning behind One Of These Nights MV. While not officially confirmed by SM, it is considered a tribute to honor victims of the Sewol Ferry Tragedy, and when you see more about this and the thematic elements and representation in the MV, it is absolutely devastating. Their vocals and emotional communication just are 10000000%. Thank you for deep diving Red Velvet ❤️
Came here to say this….so glad you pointed this out, thanks! It’s a beautiful song just on its own but once you become aware of the (likely) meaning behind it the beautiful song (& my) transforms into a masterful tribute!
You pointed out irene a lot, we love some irene's appreciation 🤗 the easiest way to tell which one is irene = everytime you see red velvet in a car I can tell you that it was all irene on the driver seat except for Really Bad Boy MV, she sat on the shotgun seat
One of these nights is about seowol ferry, cherishing three hundred~ of highschoolers death by drowning. There are interpretation in MV's comment section. Not official bc that was very sensitive and tragic accident in korea, but before that, SM did cherish by music about the national accidents. Also mv is very relatable.
their first 6 releases REALLY lined up with the the red and velvet side in pairs: Happiness + Be Natural, Ice Cream Cake + Automatic, Dumb Dumb + One Of These Nights ( also, dumb dumb was on an album called The Red, a full length 10 song album, and OOTN was on a mini album called The Velvet, which is why it said "The Velvet" at the end of the MV. BTW, OOTN has like 4 different versions, one of which is a Piano version that is REALLY good).
Can't wait for more of the RV journey. Wendy is the vocal queen. Her solos are amazing. Especially her solo "Like Water", it was like a thank you to her fans for sticking with her and continuing to support her during her year long hiatus when she was healing and recovering from a horrendous injury. She fell 8-10ft off a platform during a SBS GAYO DAEJUN rehearsal and broke the right side of her pelvis, her right wrist and fractured her cheek as well as multiple bruises. Red Velvet and their music will forever be iconic!! Whether it be group, solo or unit they never miss!
Their designated colors: (look at the aprons outfit part in DD) Irene - Pink (sometimes red) Seulgi - Yellow Wendy - Blue (wore orange in DD MV - leggings) Joy - Green (wore blue in DD MV - leggings) Yeri - Purple
The more you deep dive into Red Velvet, you’ll just eventually realize that they don’t have a bad song. Their whole discography is just insane! Also Red Velvet are the Queens of B-Sides, some of them are title track material.
P.S. - staring you in the eyes vocal in One of These Nights was Joy. You mainly noticed at Joy and Wendy vocals in that song but also Seulgi as well ❤️ Vocal powerhouses in all of Red Velvet
Ahhh proud of Han for recognizing Wendy most of the time when Kess asks. You will get there promise. The red head in One of this nights is Wendy and the blonde one is Yeri. Anyways, One of these nights mv is a tribute to the sinking of the sewol ferry where thousands of kids passed away. The album cover of the one of these nights album where Yeri's face is blurred is somehow a representation of the kids who suffered the tragedy because Yeri's age that time is close to the kids who passed away. Watching the mv gives you goosebumps as it give many scenes where the kids are drowning like where Irene fell as the water splashes over and where Yeri was lying down on a boat and the water is going inside it, Yeri is just lying down represents that the kids cant do anything as they dont know how to swim. The scene where they wear white hoodie represents the kids in the heaven as it looks like they are in paradise. This MV just hits so much. I relate with Kess when she said she is a sucker for a good Vocalist and good Rapper, my longest bias in RV is Wendy (because of happiness era Wendy) and then added to my bias list is Irene and Yeri which are rappers, so yeah, I have three biases in a group 😅, ah, I forgot, Wendy does the background track for the rap parts in their songs so technically, she is also a rapper too. Ahhh can't wait for you to watch Russian Roulete and Peekaboo 🤭. For the next mvs. I hope you can react to the MV and also the live version of Would You since they sang live, their mic is on there, and vocally, it does sound better than the recorded version no cap, its just sad Joy isn't there because she was filming her drama that time around, the MV, Irene is the only one in the MV. Bside queens is one of the title of RV because their bsides are title track material. TRUST MEEEE LISTEN TO EYES LOCK HANDS LOCKED, LA ROUGE, and one of my fav vocally--LADIES NIGHT and OH BOY.
I managed to learn how to pick up on each members voices this way: Wendy's got the strongest R&B Tone, very chest/throat placed. Good control on flipping between husky tones and light and airy (you'll hear it when you guys get to RBB and Butterflies) and the most controlled vibrato. Her voice makes me think of honey slowly dripping down ice cream or off of a honey stick. Joy and Seulgi are very nasally but sounds more like throat placement with some nasal tone. Joy is more airy toned, Seulgi's got a thicker, huskier tone. Irene has probably one of the most level voices, placement is between throat and nasal, without much variation. Yeri is very light and airy toned, with heavy nasal influence.
Seulgi voice is so beautiful very high but not too nasal. Wendy voice can be different, or very strong, or very cute and sweet. Irene Joy sweet, Yeri cute but underrated
Seulgi's voice is fascinating to me because it IS nasal, but not in the way people think of pinched nasal sounds. It's nasal, but dark and round and clear like a bell. I think she has a very enigmatic voice. Both Joy and Seulgi have a kind of fast more diaphragmatic sounding vibrato, which for me occasionally makes it tricky to hear them when it's Seulgi singing in a light breathy tone (which isn't often but it happens sometimes) I'm like.. JOY? I feel like a Joy voice comes out of Seulgi at times.
This is, in fact, a group you will fall HARD, and FAST, for. MUCH LIKE DREAMCATCHER. WE ARE 100% NOT TALKING ABOUT ICE CREAM CAKE. XD Nah, not an ad, although the "Genie Music" or "Sing" thing was very popular for SM songs between like 2010-2016 or something. Baskin Robbins prob paid some royalties for product placement though, that wouldn't shock me. Yeri didn't REALLY start getting a lot of lines until "Russian Roulette" era. So rappers in Ice Cream Cake were Irene followed by Joy. "Dumb Dumb" says "Dumb" 205 times, and yes, their t-shirts/one leg stockings match up with their corresponding fruits. To answer Kess' question at 13:03 of who's wearing red, from left to right: Joy, Seulgi, Yeri, Irene, Wendy. So red+glasses is Irene, and this (IN MY OPINION) is one of her top 5 best MV looks. Also yes, they're LITERALLY RAPPING MICHAEL JACKSON SONGS AT YOU. Fun Fact: Ice Cream Cake was one of the first choreographies I learned to do, followed by "Dumb Dumb." "One of These Nights" was a tribute to the Sewol Ferry tragedy, but damn if it isn't one of their best vocal flex tracks. It's kind of especially tragic because most of those students lost were Yeri's age. This MV also has some of the MOST beautiful editing.
The concept of Red Velvet is that they don’t have a concept. You never know what you’re going to get with each new comeback. That’s what make them so unique. You just know that the vocals will be amazing.
I remember ICC and Dumb Dumb being so popular. Even in our school, girls would be on their laptops repeatedly watching the downloaded MVs (contrary to now where kpop stans focus so much on breaking records) for this as well as the Weekly Idol Episodes and then dancing along to them. Fun times!!
Fun Fact: Reveluvs and Red Velvet themselves have considered Ice Cream Cake as their debut song because it was the first song with all five of them. It was said by Irene herself.
The iconic Red Velvet switch-ups. They mastered the swerve outta nowhere to a different style. First few songs I heard from them it surprised me but now I look forward to it on all their new songs
So let me help you guys out in the ICE CREAM CAKE MV. LOL!! The member with the ginger/orange hair that you thought was Yeri is actually JOY. Yeri was the one with the pigtails. Actually, Joy was originally lead rapper/vocalist. However, she really improved and shined as a vocalist and joined vocal line with Wendy and Seulgi. Yeri took over lead rapper, but to be honest Joy and even Wendy rap and still have rap parts in b-side tracks. 👍👍 Irene was the member with the buns and wearing blue who caught your attention when she was dancing in the center. She is the lead dancer after all. RV’s rapper line is Irene (main rapper) and Yeri (lead rapper) Sub rappers: Joy and Wendy (Seulgi has rapped before too.)
i once thought wendy was the main rapper at one time because she's the one who rapped all the background vocal for ice cream cake and her rhythm is on fire.
Oh hell yeah more red velvet videos!! they're really one of the groups from big labels that deserves their icon status like their sound and concepts are so high quality
I just hope to see you guys watch their live singing some days Love your reaction so much u guys are very detailed about their vocal and their music video. 🤍
The rap parts in ICC are done by Irene (=the blonde girl in a pink skirt and blue sweater that was killing this dance as you said) and Joy (the redhead in a green sweater). Joy was a part of the rap line when they debuted but along the way she moves to the vocal line and Yeri takes her place as lead rapper but sometimes in bsides you can hear Joy raps (Wendy also has raps in recent bsides).
Also, fun fact: RV’s Dumb Dumb MV was directed by the same person who directed Blackpink’s Whistle MV. You can see the similarities in the style very apparently between the two.
Joy is the one you mentioned about the rapper that's on fire on ice cream cake. She's one of the rapper in the earlier era other than Irene and Yeri. These days she's one of the vocalist of the group.
Funny how you mention Baskin Robbins. Joy’s number is 31 because of Baskin Robbins lol but not it’s not an ad haha As for One of These Nights, it was a response towards the lives lost in the Sewol Ferry tragedy in 2014.
Ah, One of these Nights. Actually, what they were going for was a tribute to the Sewol Ferry Tragedy that happened 2 years before this release. Basically, a ferry going to Jeju Island filled with 500+ passengers, mostly high school students on a school trip, flipped resulting in 300+ deaths. 300+ mainly because the captain of the ship saw that the ship was going down, told everyone to stay put, and then fled the ship with some of his crew. By the time rescue came, it was too late to save everyone still waiting in the lower cabins. Rescue has said they had even heard the students banging on the bottom of the ship as it sunk upside-down, unable to do a thing. You can see all the symbolism and references in the mv once you realize what its really about.
Please give all the reactions for the title track and b-side. There are several B-Side songs that they perform live, and that will definitely make you more fascinated by Red Velvet.
I totally agree! They have my fav mvs ever! Just their mv in general always interesting and fun to watch even the weird ones like dumb dumb or rookie or zimzalabim. Dumb dumb gotta be one of my fav mv of them tho. The whole doll/robotic concept from the lyrics (yall need to read the lyrics, it ties to the mv really well) and how they visualize it and their execution with the mv and crazy ass vocals with very jumpy choreo (one of my fav choreo of them as well! Yall should watch their stage for this song), the styling *chef's kiss*. Dumb dumb is just perfect all-around. They do get called queen of concept and rightfully so. They're always all-in when they choose a concept and stick with it so every comeback is so distinct and have their own unique flavor and signature. Also, psycho is still one of my fav mv ever!!! The song, the mv, the lyrics, the styling, the melody, the choreo, the set design, editing etc everything is just perfect. I'm so excited to watch you guys journey falling into the cake girls rabbit hole. Especially when you get to know them better watching their level up projects. They're so fun to watch.
If you're into HYBE's NewJeans, you will see why k-netz comment Min Hee Jin, the CEO of their label "Ador", is the mastermind of the whole concept. She was in charge of many SM songs, like "Automatic" and "Be Natural" that are the moms of "Cookie", just like "Ice Cream Cake" has many hints to NJ lore (the creepy, the cat and so on). Been a Luvie gives you these kind of vibes pretty quickly when you are diving into the hype of NJ.
Irene and Joy did the rap in Ice Cream Cake and Wendy did the backing for their raps so it kind of hits extra hard And every time you said "That is Wendy right?" was correct lol If going in order Russian Roulette should be next. There is another single after that called "Would U" in the MV it is Irene on her own. There is a acoustic version MV with 4 out of the 5 girls (Joy was filming her first drama) I highly suggest that one. :D
literally crying watching this vid with u guys. they didn't get the recognition they deserve back then, especially with this song and the other velvet songs :" they released this when k-pop was so full of pop bubbly songs that's why this song isn't doing really well in Korea. I remember this is one of their hardest time they even cried so hard on music shows when this song get a win
Not only they're switching beats and rhythm, they're constantly switching from minor to major and viceversa during all Ice Cream Cake song. By the way, did you notice the pun "I scream, You Scream, Gimme da, Gimme da Ice Cream"
One of these nights is dedicated to the ferry incident hence the motif of water. I don’t know all of the details of the mv but I know it makes me cry everyone I listen to it because of the terrible incident it is linked to
Ice Cream Cake was actually released a day after Automatic. Automatic is the second track in the album and ICC is the title track. Some would say theyre a double title travk.
EXPLANATION ON “ONE OF THESE NIGHTS” MV: The theme of the song 'One of these nights' or known as 7 월 7 일 is “Shi Yue Hao (Sewol South Korea Ferry) Ship Wreck”. The incident occurred on April 16, 2014 which is march 17th on the lunar calendar. On the album cover, Yeri’s face is blurred because she’s the same age with the victim of the incident. If you watch the MV 'One Of These Nights', Yeri is lying down on the boat and many theories said that she ended up drowned. Before the actual date where the MV was supposed to be released (and was delayed to one day late), SM released a statement said that they delayed the MV due to quality change. It is because they changed the video aspect ratio to 1.33:1(represents the past, memories and old movies), 16:9 ratio to 1:1 (represents the recent years), widening to 2.35:1 (Represents to present time). Some people state the theory say that SM Entertainment delayed the release for a day is implying the goverment’s slow action on rescue students or people in Sewol. Just google about “Sewol Ferry Accident” and y’all can definitely say that the MV was a tribute for it. Although the lyrics of the song tells a different story/concept.
The actual main rapper is actually joy 8:08 and yeri is sub rapper, but as the group releasing new music,joy is focusing on practice her vocal and singing than rapping so she barely do rap actually
the girl with pink skirt in icc was irene! and she did the rap after that dance part. also the red shirt + glasses in dumb dumb was also irene lol. she's a rapper so usually she would rap.
OH MY GOODNESS YES YES YES!! I clicked so fast when I saw the notification, these songs are INSANE they all are super iconic and I love them all for different reasons! I just want to tell you that in Ice Cream Cake you guys got Seulgi and Wendy down (y'all really kept pausing on Wendy's "cherry on top" part) but you guys were wrong with the rest Irene was the first Rapper aka the Main Rapper, Leader, etc- Joy was the second Rapper (she was the one with the reddish hair) not Yeri (She was the Lead Rapper at the beginning of their journey), and Yeri was the one who ate the cotton candy near the end (hence the cotton candy vocals) she also was on top of the RV (Okay love the coincidence). During Dumb Dumb again you got Wendy and Seulgi right and yes Irene was the one with the glasses (WenRene aka Wendy and Irene usually wear glasses and then Seulgi does as well but not as much I guess and Joy and Yeri not really sure about), Joy is the one with the darker hair and near the end with the crazy dancing scene she had the kind of Cyan outfit on the very left (it should be Green but it's fine), and Yeri was the one who started the Bridge and has the purple outfit (the same dancing scene) on the very right! And One of These Nights is so Gorgeous and underrated it actually is about a ship wreck that happened I believe a few months before it was Sewol South Korea Ferry ship wreck and it killed most if not all of the people on there- also I just wanted to tell you Irene was the one who was looking at her reflection in the water who also fell down, Seulgi was the one who looked in the key hole and who also walked away from the camera with the lights turning off, Wendy is plain and simple the one with the red hair with the GORGEOUS vocals as always, Joy was the one you guys asked about who stared into your souls, and Yeri was the one in the boat with the Blondish hair! Also I can't wait until Saturday not only will you guys react to a bunch of Red Velvet stuff but also GAP the Series is coming out with another episode- that I know of (GAP the Series is a Thai Lesbian show that is actually VERY spicy if you guys haven't yet you should DEFINITELY check it out)... Anyways I can't wait for you guys to react to more Red Velvet such as more Music Videos, B - Sides, Live Performances, Covers, Dance Practices, Moments, and of course Ships! I can't wait for more Content from you guys and I hope that you both are doing well and staying safe and healthy! P.S. If you ever need any good Videos I could totally help you out if you need it, also for your Twitch stream definitely check out Wendy's Solo version of Light Me Up- you guys will enjoy it A LOT!
Great reaction! Y’all had some classic reactions. I can’t wait till get to Zimzalabim, Russian Roulette, & Peek-a-boo! & Psycho (one of my fave songs of all time). Red Velvet are def one of the best groups.
These songs are fire! They never get old! You choose some good ones right off the bat! They have the best discography in my opinion! Love me some Red Velvet!
As a Reveluv I'm living this, for your comments I Will give you some hints, there Is always a 6th member on all their MVs (a table), their tittle tracks aré almost all Red or Red+Velvet, just Bad Boy and Psycho are Velvet and Wilside if we include japanese releases, the Velvet side Is More on the bsides and you always gonna say these should or could had beeen the tt ((its th constant polemic topic between luvies)), as for the girls maybe the easiest way to know who Is who, probably is to get familiar with the voice-face , Irene Is the main raper have a husky voice and usually Is in Center, Seulgi and Wendy I think you got them right almost everytime, Joy Is the tall, sexy one lol with the most different tone (( the one you asked for in one of this nights)) an Yeri Is the cutie baby who almost all the Time make the raps and harmonies with Irene.. hope this info could help you a little and we can welcome you soon to Reveluv fandom!!! Enjoy the trip!
I've been enjoying your RV reactions. I wanted to give a little insight that makes "One of These Nights" hit harder. It's about a ferry accident (MV Sewol) that killed around 300 people, 250 of which were high school students. Which is why the video has a water theme. It really makes the song hurt, in a kind of good way. Look forward to seeing future RV reactions from you two.
Because it is geared that way towards their queer audience. The album is purposely sexualised and was acknowledged to be queerbaiting by many especially after holland was beaten up for no reason. The first reaction towards the album was about their shipping and nothing about their songs or vocal. Their subfandom is well-known to be fetishizing about them all the time. Even when seulgi bought bedsheets they would associate it with irene reducing her to mere prop in their fetish. If they continue with the same theme with their 2nd album then there should be no doubt that SM is using seulgi and irene to queerbait for profit. I wouldn't want to be associated with that subfandom at all. There are also pedophiles in there so any minors should not touch that subfandom at all.
Icc is one of my favorite song, ootn I dedicate this song to my ex who died in this summer. Dumb dumb is their craziest concept. I love red velvet and their angel voices
I love them ! Not my ultimate group (because I have chosen not to choose an ultimate bias group) but in my top five,along with Mamamoo,Sistar, Girls Generation (SNSD in Korean) and APink.
Red velvet never fails to deliver. Fun fact, the last song is dedicated to the sewol ferry accident. That's why there's a lot of water and the candle imagery.
To this day RV has been one of my cruxes for asian face blindeness. I manage to do well long term with any other group ive stanned but not them and it drives me crazy. This makes me SO excited for Peekaboo
First time watching "dumb dumb" and "ice cream cake" really confusing to identify who is who.💗Irene, 💛 Seulgi, 💚Joy, 💙Wendy, 💜Yeri, this is their official colors.
If you want a video guide let me tell you The one who you rarely will see in mv are yeri and wendy. The one always with face close ups is Irene The one mostly in centre during choreo is seulgi The one with mostly whole body shots and sexy vibe is Joy
yall need to check out G.O.T (girls on top) a SM super group like super junior but woman from each generation Boa (soloist) from 1st gen, taeyeon and hyoyeon (snsd) from 2nd gen, seulgi and wendy (red velvet) from 3rd gen, Karina and winter (aespa) from 4th gen. their debut step back and their recent come back stamp on it are their only songs but they are so good.
One Of These Night.The MV has a deep meaning, which is to tell the story of the drowning of the students while boarding the Sewol ship which made all Koreans grieve.
All three Kpop mvs that reference Sewol devastate me: One of These Nights, Spring Day and The Light.
That's not the official opinion of the producer. It's based on a story called Chilseok, and the Sewol is just speculation
There are a lot of Koreans who are guessing, so it gives me an uncomfortable feeling to enjoy this song
no it doesn't. that's already been debunked.
Irene's rap break:
You need to “Beat It”
That boy Michael Jackson “Bad”
I’m not your “Billie Jean”
Don’t you “Leave Me Alone”
But you’re so ambiguous, I want “Black or White”
I can’t give up on you, my “Man in the Mirror”
Followed by Joy's:
“Why You Wanna Trip on Me”
You’re too harsh
Boy, you make me “Scream”
Why am I like this?
Well, your “Love really Never Felt So Good”
It’s so electrifying that it’s like watching the “Thriller”
MJ appreciation 🔥 by Red Velvet ♥️
I have to say that Red Velvet is literally the best kpop group ever!!! Best discography, best collective vocals. They are the best of all time.
And don't forget their harmonies... it's a chef's kiss 😁😁
I'm insomnia, so i think that, in general, dreamcatcher is the best. But, RV is Amazing too, especially With harmony. And Yes, wendy is the best vocalist of the 3 gen.
Yay another Orbit Reveluv or should I say loonatic reveluv ;)
I see no lies 😙
Mamamoo have the best vocals
Red velvet never repeats a concept they are always changing
Except for being magical girls. That, they repeat.
That's why they are Concept queens.
As SNSD, that's SM essence
So you should really look up the theories of the meaning behind One Of These Nights MV. While not officially confirmed by SM, it is considered a tribute to honor victims of the Sewol Ferry Tragedy, and when you see more about this and the thematic elements and representation in the MV, it is absolutely devastating. Their vocals and emotional communication just are 10000000%.
Thank you for deep diving Red Velvet ❤️
had me crying when i re-watched the mv after I watched the theories about One of these nights 😭
Came here to say this….so glad you pointed this out, thanks!
It’s a beautiful song just on its own but once you become aware of the (likely) meaning behind it the beautiful song (& my) transforms into a masterful tribute!
This ranks on the same shelf as The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. The Sea has to be respected.
Yeri in particular felt the Sewol disaster keenly, as she was the same age as most of the casualties.
Not so fun fact... JYP's extended family was responsible for the tragedy.
Yes... THAT JYP.
Their vocals in dumb dumb is just on fire! 🔥 Red Velvet are the queens of bsides ✨
You pointed out irene a lot, we love some irene's appreciation 🤗 the easiest way to tell which one is irene = everytime you see red velvet in a car I can tell you that it was all irene on the driver seat except for Really Bad Boy MV, she sat on the shotgun seat
ooh.. never noticed 😲
One of these nights is about seowol ferry, cherishing three hundred~ of highschoolers death by drowning. There are interpretation in MV's comment section. Not official bc that was very sensitive and tragic accident in korea, but before that, SM did cherish by music about the national accidents. Also mv is very relatable.
their first 6 releases REALLY lined up with the the red and velvet side in pairs: Happiness + Be Natural, Ice Cream Cake + Automatic, Dumb Dumb + One Of These Nights ( also, dumb dumb was on an album called The Red, a full length 10 song album, and OOTN was on a mini album called The Velvet, which is why it said "The Velvet" at the end of the MV. BTW, OOTN has like 4 different versions, one of which is a Piano version that is REALLY good).
Red velvet is my favorite Girl group PERIOD!!!! Just wait till you get into the Red Velvet lore. Everything is connected 🙃
Ive been following them since debut. This is news to me lol
Yesss ! They released 'Reve' comics series during the Birthday era and it AL MAKES SENSE !!
@@Lyf4rMusic Please fill me in
One of These Nights expressed the sorrow arising from the Sewol tragedy. f(x)'s "Red Light", from the same time, expressed the anger.
red velvet debunked that. it doesn't represent the sewol tragedy.
Can't wait for more of the RV journey. Wendy is the vocal queen. Her solos are amazing. Especially her solo "Like Water", it was like a thank you to her fans for sticking with her and continuing to support her during her year long hiatus when she was healing and recovering from a horrendous injury. She fell 8-10ft off a platform during a SBS GAYO DAEJUN rehearsal and broke the right side of her pelvis, her right wrist and fractured her cheek as well as multiple bruises.
Red Velvet and their music will forever be iconic!! Whether it be group, solo or unit they never miss!
When this rain stops is her best Solo song
Their designated colors: (look at the aprons outfit part in DD)
Irene - Pink (sometimes red)
Seulgi - Yellow
Wendy - Blue (wore orange in DD MV - leggings)
Joy - Green (wore blue in DD MV - leggings)
Yeri - Purple
Irene’s apron was pink since pink is her designated color 👍
Oh you forgot Seulgi is yellow and sometimes orange
Why didn’t they put went in blue and Joy in orange, I don’t get it.
The more you deep dive into Red Velvet, you’ll just eventually realize that they don’t have a bad song. Their whole discography is just insane! Also Red Velvet are the Queens of B-Sides, some of them are title track material.
P.S. - staring you in the eyes vocal in One of These Nights was Joy. You mainly noticed at Joy and Wendy vocals in that song but also Seulgi as well ❤️ Vocal powerhouses in all of Red Velvet
Ahhh proud of Han for recognizing Wendy most of the time when Kess asks. You will get there promise. The red head in One of this nights is Wendy and the blonde one is Yeri.
Anyways, One of these nights mv is a tribute to the sinking of the sewol ferry where thousands of kids passed away. The album cover of the one of these nights album where Yeri's face is blurred is somehow a representation of the kids who suffered the tragedy because Yeri's age that time is close to the kids who passed away. Watching the mv gives you goosebumps as it give many scenes where the kids are drowning like where Irene fell as the water splashes over and where Yeri was lying down on a boat and the water is going inside it, Yeri is just lying down represents that the kids cant do anything as they dont know how to swim. The scene where they wear white hoodie represents the kids in the heaven as it looks like they are in paradise. This MV just hits so much.
I relate with Kess when she said she is a sucker for a good Vocalist and good Rapper, my longest bias in RV is Wendy (because of happiness era Wendy) and then added to my bias list is Irene and Yeri which are rappers, so yeah, I have three biases in a group 😅, ah, I forgot, Wendy does the background track for the rap parts in their songs so technically, she is also a rapper too. Ahhh can't wait for you to watch Russian Roulete and Peekaboo 🤭. For the next mvs. I hope you can react to the MV and also the live version of Would You since they sang live, their mic is on there, and vocally, it does sound better than the recorded version no cap, its just sad Joy isn't there because she was filming her drama that time around, the MV, Irene is the only one in the MV.
Bside queens is one of the title of RV because their bsides are title track material. TRUST MEEEE LISTEN TO EYES LOCK HANDS LOCKED, LA ROUGE, and one of my fav vocally--LADIES NIGHT and OH BOY.
I managed to learn how to pick up on each members voices this way:
Wendy's got the strongest R&B Tone, very chest/throat placed. Good control on flipping between husky tones and light and airy (you'll hear it when you guys get to RBB and Butterflies) and the most controlled vibrato. Her voice makes me think of honey slowly dripping down ice cream or off of a honey stick.
Joy and Seulgi are very nasally but sounds more like throat placement with some nasal tone. Joy is more airy toned, Seulgi's got a thicker, huskier tone.
Irene has probably one of the most level voices, placement is between throat and nasal, without much variation.
Yeri is very light and airy toned, with heavy nasal influence.
i also would say joy sounds very “sweet” if that makes sense
@@loveIetter very sweet ys

@@thezircadia Seulgi voice is kinda similar to Yuna ex AOA or some Japanese sopranos, clear but round
This is, in fact, a group you will fall HARD, and FAST, for. MUCH LIKE DREAMCATCHER.
WE ARE 100% NOT TALKING ABOUT ICE CREAM CAKE. XD Nah, not an ad, although the "Genie Music" or "Sing" thing was very popular for SM songs between like 2010-2016 or something. Baskin Robbins prob paid some royalties for product placement though, that wouldn't shock me.
Yeri didn't REALLY start getting a lot of lines until "Russian Roulette" era. So rappers in Ice Cream Cake were Irene followed by Joy. "Dumb Dumb" says "Dumb" 205 times, and yes, their t-shirts/one leg stockings match up with their corresponding fruits. To answer Kess' question at 13:03 of who's wearing red, from left to right: Joy, Seulgi, Yeri, Irene, Wendy. So red+glasses is Irene, and this (IN MY OPINION) is one of her top 5 best MV looks. Also yes, they're LITERALLY RAPPING MICHAEL JACKSON SONGS AT YOU.
Fun Fact: Ice Cream Cake was one of the first choreographies I learned to do, followed by "Dumb Dumb."
"One of These Nights" was a tribute to the Sewol Ferry tragedy, but damn if it isn't one of their best vocal flex tracks. It's kind of especially tragic because most of those students lost were Yeri's age. This MV also has some of the MOST beautiful editing.
One of these nights is a tribute to the accident known as the Sewol Shipwreck, which killed 304 people, mostly children.
The concept of Red Velvet is that they don’t have a concept. You never know what you’re going to get with each new comeback. That’s what make them so unique. You just know that the vocals will be amazing.
I remember ICC and Dumb Dumb being so popular. Even in our school, girls would be on their laptops repeatedly watching the downloaded MVs (contrary to now where kpop stans focus so much on breaking records) for this as well as the Weekly Idol Episodes and then dancing along to them. Fun times!!
Dumb Dumb was the first Kpop song I ever heard. Been in love with Red Velvet ever since.
Fun Fact: Reveluvs and Red Velvet themselves have considered Ice Cream Cake as their debut song because it was the first song with all five of them. It was said by Irene herself.
The iconic Red Velvet switch-ups. They mastered the swerve outta nowhere to a different style. First few songs I heard from them it surprised me but now I look forward to it on all their new songs
So let me help you guys out in the ICE CREAM CAKE MV. LOL!!
The member with the ginger/orange hair that you thought was Yeri is actually JOY. Yeri was the one with the pigtails. Actually, Joy was originally lead rapper/vocalist. However, she really improved and shined as a vocalist and joined vocal line with Wendy and Seulgi. Yeri took over lead rapper, but to be honest Joy and even Wendy rap and still have rap parts in b-side tracks. 👍👍
Irene was the member with the buns and wearing blue who caught your attention when she was dancing in the center. She is the lead dancer after all.
RV’s rapper line is Irene (main rapper) and Yeri (lead rapper)
Sub rappers: Joy and Wendy (Seulgi has rapped before too.)
Well, they all girls can do whatever they want to do depending on what they need to deliver.
@@DarkFoncho yep versatile queens
i once thought wendy was the main rapper at one time because she's the one who rapped all the background vocal for ice cream cake and her rhythm is on fire.
@@DarkFoncho which song has seulgi rap to? I forgot.
Wendy can rap on normal conversations lol or when she's hosting her radio show
Oh hell yeah more red velvet videos!! they're really one of the groups from big labels that deserves their icon status like their sound and concepts are so high quality
I just hope to see you guys watch their live singing some days
Love your reaction so much u guys are very detailed about their vocal and their music video. 🤍
Yess can’t wait for more red velvet reactions 😛 love seeing you fall in love with them
The rap parts in ICC are done by Irene (=the blonde girl in a pink skirt and blue sweater that was killing this dance as you said) and Joy (the redhead in a green sweater).
Joy was a part of the rap line when they debuted but along the way she moves to the vocal line and Yeri takes her place as lead rapper but sometimes in bsides you can hear Joy raps (Wendy also has raps in recent bsides).
watching you guys reactions make me remember my own reaction back then watching these mvs for the time
Speaking of calmer settings where you can learn people's names/faces, I need a Red Velvet Killing Voice _so much_
Red velvet is also known to have the best b-sides in kpop
They're good friends with Mamamoo by the way. You can also watch or react Mamamoo Red velvet friendship video.
Also, fun fact: RV’s Dumb Dumb MV was directed by the same person who directed Blackpink’s Whistle MV. You can see the similarities in the style very apparently between the two.
The TRUE QUEENS! Red Velvet :)
Joy is the one you mentioned about the rapper that's on fire on ice cream cake. She's one of the rapper in the earlier era other than Irene and Yeri. These days she's one of the vocalist of the group.
Dumb Dumb and I Just are my fav songs from them!
Irene 💗🐰
Seulgi 💛🐻
Wendy 💙🐿️
Joy 💚🐥
Yeri 💜🐢
Russian Roulette is my favorite Red Velvet MVs! Such a fun music video- I know yall would like it
Funny how you mention Baskin Robbins. Joy’s number is 31 because of Baskin Robbins lol but not it’s not an ad haha
As for One of These Nights, it was a response towards the lives lost in the Sewol Ferry tragedy in 2014.
Ah, One of these Nights. Actually, what they were going for was a tribute to the Sewol Ferry Tragedy that happened 2 years before this release.
Basically, a ferry going to Jeju Island filled with 500+ passengers, mostly high school students on a school trip, flipped resulting in 300+ deaths. 300+ mainly because the captain of the ship saw that the ship was going down, told everyone to stay put, and then fled the ship with some of his crew. By the time rescue came, it was too late to save everyone still waiting in the lower cabins. Rescue has said they had even heard the students banging on the bottom of the ship as it sunk upside-down, unable to do a thing.
You can see all the symbolism and references in the mv once you realize what its really about.
I think one of these nights is about a ferry tragedy that happened in Korea when a lot of school kids drowned
I can't listen to one of these nights without getting goosebumps and feel extremely sad
Please give all the reactions for the title track and b-side. There are several B-Side songs that they perform live, and that will definitely make you more fascinated by Red Velvet.
RV‘s vocal style is crazy, also I always love their concepts, it’s so intriguing
I am so happy that you guys are delving deeper into Red Velvet.
the ad stuff at the bottom of the screen for the first song was on almost everysong that came out at that time, especially during 2nd gen kpop
The person you pointed out in Ice Cream Cake right before the rap was Irene
They have representatives color, animal and fruit, so here you go:
Irene 💓🐰🍉
Seulgi 💛🐻🍍
Wendy 💙🐿️🍊(blue flesh orange)
Joy 💚🐥🥝
Yeri 💜🐢🦄🍇
one of these nights is my favorite rv song
My girls never disappoint
I totally agree! They have my fav mvs ever! Just their mv in general always interesting and fun to watch even the weird ones like dumb dumb or rookie or zimzalabim. Dumb dumb gotta be one of my fav mv of them tho. The whole doll/robotic concept from the lyrics (yall need to read the lyrics, it ties to the mv really well) and how they visualize it and their execution with the mv and crazy ass vocals with very jumpy choreo (one of my fav choreo of them as well! Yall should watch their stage for this song), the styling *chef's kiss*. Dumb dumb is just perfect all-around. They do get called queen of concept and rightfully so. They're always all-in when they choose a concept and stick with it so every comeback is so distinct and have their own unique flavor and signature. Also, psycho is still one of my fav mv ever!!! The song, the mv, the lyrics, the styling, the melody, the choreo, the set design, editing etc everything is just perfect. I'm so excited to watch you guys journey falling into the cake girls rabbit hole. Especially when you get to know them better watching their level up projects. They're so fun to watch.
One of these nights is a memorial song
If you're into HYBE's NewJeans, you will see why k-netz comment Min Hee Jin, the CEO of their label "Ador", is the mastermind of the whole concept. She was in charge of many SM songs, like "Automatic" and "Be Natural" that are the moms of "Cookie", just like "Ice Cream Cake" has many hints to NJ lore (the creepy, the cat and so on). Been a Luvie gives you these kind of vibes pretty quickly when you are diving into the hype of NJ.
So red velvet is their blueprint?
The dumb dumb mv won awards in 2015 and was listed by Rolling Stone as one of the top mvs of 2015
Irene and Joy did the rap in Ice Cream Cake and Wendy did the backing for their raps so it kind of hits extra hard And every time you said "That is Wendy right?" was correct lol If going in order Russian Roulette should be next. There is another single after that called "Would U" in the MV it is Irene on her own. There is a acoustic version MV with 4 out of the 5 girls (Joy was filming her first drama) I highly suggest that one. :D
literally crying watching this vid with u guys. they didn't get the recognition they deserve back then, especially with this song and the other velvet songs :" they released this when k-pop was so full of pop bubbly songs that's why this song isn't doing really well in Korea. I remember this is one of their hardest time they even cried so hard on music shows when this song get a win
Not only they're switching beats and rhythm, they're constantly switching from minor to major and viceversa during all Ice Cream Cake song.
By the way, did you notice the pun "I scream, You Scream, Gimme da, Gimme da Ice Cream"
vocal queeensss 💗💛💙💚💜
One of these nights is dedicated to the ferry incident hence the motif of water. I don’t know all of the details of the mv but I know it makes me cry everyone I listen to it because of the terrible incident it is linked to
Ice Cream Cake was actually released a day after Automatic. Automatic is the second track in the album and ICC is the title track. Some would say theyre a double title travk.
there's a theory that "one of these nights" is a tribute to sewol ferry tragedy... which is happen in 2014
I love this reaction 😊 My bias is Wendy ❤️❤️❤️
best reacting series! also red velvet!!!
EXPLANATION ON “ONE OF THESE NIGHTS” MV:
The theme of the song 'One of these nights' or known as 7 월 7 일 is “Shi Yue Hao (Sewol South Korea Ferry) Ship Wreck”.
The incident occurred on April 16, 2014 which is march 17th on the lunar calendar.
On the album cover, Yeri’s face is blurred because she’s the same age with the victim of the incident. If you watch the MV 'One Of These Nights', Yeri is lying down on the boat and many theories said that she ended up drowned.
Before the actual date where the MV was supposed to be released (and was delayed to one day late), SM released a statement said that they delayed the MV due to quality change.
It is because they changed the video aspect ratio to 1.33:1(represents the past, memories and old movies), 16:9 ratio to 1:1 (represents the recent years), widening to 2.35:1 (Represents to present time).
Some people state the theory say that SM Entertainment delayed the release for a day is implying the goverment’s slow action on rescue students or people in Sewol.
Just google about “Sewol Ferry Accident” and y’all can definitely say that the MV was a tribute for it. Although the lyrics of the song tells a different story/concept.
The actual main rapper is actually joy 8:08 and yeri is sub rapper, but as the group releasing new music,joy is focusing on practice her vocal and singing than rapping so she barely do rap actually
the girl with pink skirt in icc was irene! and she did the rap after that dance part. also the red shirt + glasses in dumb dumb was also irene lol. she's a rapper so usually she would rap.
RV's MV are entertaining, agree! I think its because they never release the same concept and so the MVs are very different from each other.
OH MY GOODNESS YES YES YES!! I clicked so fast when I saw the notification, these songs are INSANE they all are super iconic and I love them all for different reasons! I just want to tell you that in Ice Cream Cake you guys got Seulgi and Wendy down (y'all really kept pausing on Wendy's "cherry on top" part) but you guys were wrong with the rest Irene was the first Rapper aka the Main Rapper, Leader, etc- Joy was the second Rapper (she was the one with the reddish hair) not Yeri (She was the Lead Rapper at the beginning of their journey), and Yeri was the one who ate the cotton candy near the end (hence the cotton candy vocals) she also was on top of the RV (Okay love the coincidence). During Dumb Dumb again you got Wendy and Seulgi right and yes Irene was the one with the glasses (WenRene aka Wendy and Irene usually wear glasses and then Seulgi does as well but not as much I guess and Joy and Yeri not really sure about), Joy is the one with the darker hair and near the end with the crazy dancing scene she had the kind of Cyan outfit on the very left (it should be Green but it's fine), and Yeri was the one who started the Bridge and has the purple outfit (the same dancing scene) on the very right! And One of These Nights is so Gorgeous and underrated it actually is about a ship wreck that happened I believe a few months before it was Sewol South Korea Ferry ship wreck and it killed most if not all of the people on there- also I just wanted to tell you Irene was the one who was looking at her reflection in the water who also fell down, Seulgi was the one who looked in the key hole and who also walked away from the camera with the lights turning off, Wendy is plain and simple the one with the red hair with the GORGEOUS vocals as always, Joy was the one you guys asked about who stared into your souls, and Yeri was the one in the boat with the Blondish hair! Also I can't wait until Saturday not only will you guys react to a bunch of Red Velvet stuff but also GAP the Series is coming out with another episode- that I know of (GAP the Series is a Thai Lesbian show that is actually VERY spicy if you guys haven't yet you should DEFINITELY check it out)... Anyways I can't wait for you guys to react to more Red Velvet such as more Music Videos, B - Sides, Live Performances, Covers, Dance Practices, Moments, and of course Ships! I can't wait for more Content from you guys and I hope that you both are doing well and staying safe and healthy!
P.S. If you ever need any good Videos I could totally help you out if you need it, also for your Twitch stream definitely check out Wendy's Solo version of Light Me Up- you guys will enjoy it A LOT!
Great reaction! Y’all had some classic reactions. I can’t wait till get to Zimzalabim, Russian Roulette, & Peek-a-boo! & Psycho (one of my fave songs of all time). Red Velvet are def one of the best groups.
Good lord... I can't wait for you both to hear the bside Kingdom Come.
If you love One of These Nights, you will love their BSides. Listen to, Kingdom Come. The harmonies and add-ons will transport you.
For Dumb Dumb, the sticks are actually slap bands
I LOVE DUMB DUMB 💗 it’s the song that made me a reveluv
dumb dumb vocals still gives me goosebumps
especially live
These songs are fire! They never get old! You choose some good ones right off the bat! They have the best discography in my opinion! Love me some Red Velvet!
Redvelvet is Queen everything in kpop
As a Reveluv I'm living this, for your comments I Will give you some hints, there Is always a 6th member on all their MVs (a table), their tittle tracks aré almost all Red or Red+Velvet, just Bad Boy and Psycho are Velvet and Wilside if we include japanese releases, the Velvet side Is More on the bsides and you always gonna say these should or could had beeen the tt ((its th constant polemic topic between luvies)), as for the girls maybe the easiest way to know who Is who, probably is to get familiar with the voice-face , Irene Is the main raper have a husky voice and usually Is in Center, Seulgi and Wendy I think you got them right almost everytime, Joy Is the tall, sexy one lol with the most different tone (( the one you asked for in one of this nights)) an Yeri Is the cutie baby who almost all the Time make the raps and harmonies with Irene.. hope this info could help you a little and we can welcome you soon to Reveluv fandom!!! Enjoy the trip!
U’ can see the live radio versions, of ice cream cake and peekaboo, acapela versions is amazing. (Sorry for English, I do learning
In Ice Cream Cake the person you thought was Yeri is Joy also if you know Crush him and Joy are dating
i love watching Kess fall in love with irene without realizing it
I've been enjoying your RV reactions. I wanted to give a little insight that makes "One of These Nights" hit harder. It's about a ferry accident (MV Sewol) that killed around 300 people, 250 of which were high school students. Which is why the video has a water theme. It really makes the song hurt, in a kind of good way. Look forward to seeing future RV reactions from you two.
Red Velvet and Exo are those unbeatable groups for mee. Can't wait to see you fall in love with my girls even more!
You should really watch Irene and Seulgi's song "Monster". It's giving sapphic lol
Because it is geared that way towards their queer audience.
The album is purposely sexualised and was acknowledged to be queerbaiting by many especially after holland was beaten up for no reason.
The first reaction towards the album was about their shipping and nothing about their songs or vocal.
Their subfandom is well-known to be fetishizing about them all the time. Even when seulgi bought bedsheets they would associate it with irene reducing her to mere prop in their fetish.
If they continue with the same theme with their 2nd album then there should be no doubt that SM is using seulgi and irene to queerbait for profit.
I wouldn't want to be associated with that subfandom at all. There are also pedophiles in there so any minors should not touch that subfandom at all.
Worth checking out is their performance of One of These Nights on Yu Hee-yeol's Sketchbook, best version of the song .
they were in baskin robin ads back then along with shinee, and fx i believe😂
Can't wait for you two to also dive in into their Bsides 💕
Joy bias here 💚
Icc is one of my favorite song, ootn I dedicate this song to my ex who died in this summer. Dumb dumb is their craziest concept. I love red velvet and their angel voices
I love them ! Not my ultimate group (because I have chosen not to choose an ultimate bias group) but in my top five,along with Mamamoo,Sistar, Girls Generation (SNSD in Korean) and APink.
love the red velvet reactions!
omg i can’t wait ‘til you’re finally diving into their heavenly bsides like IM SO EXCITED FOR YOUR REACTIONSSS
13:00 girl in red is Irene
23:17 that's Joy
React to Dumb Dumb at MMA 2015. It is one of my favorite presentations.
you should search the meaning behind One of these nights
8:04 that's joy, yeri is the first one from the left with pigtails on!
Red velvet never fails to deliver. Fun fact, the last song is dedicated to the sewol ferry accident. That's why there's a lot of water and the candle imagery.
To this day RV has been one of my cruxes for asian face blindeness. I manage to do well long term with any other group ive stanned but not them and it drives me crazy.
This makes me SO excited for Peekaboo
First time watching "dumb dumb" and "ice cream cake" really confusing to identify who is who.💗Irene, 💛 Seulgi, 💚Joy, 💙Wendy, 💜Yeri, this is their official colors.
If you want a video guide let me tell you
The one who you rarely will see in mv are yeri and wendy.
The one always with face close ups is Irene
The one mostly in centre during choreo is seulgi
The one with mostly whole body shots and sexy vibe is Joy
yall need to check out G.O.T (girls on top) a SM super group like super junior but woman from each generation Boa (soloist) from 1st gen, taeyeon and hyoyeon (snsd) from 2nd gen, seulgi and wendy (red velvet) from 3rd gen, Karina and winter (aespa) from 4th gen. their debut step back and their recent come back stamp on it are their only songs but they are so good.
