NMIXX Cool (your rainbow) should be reacted to
Seulgi and Taemin are the Dark Queen and King of KPOP. This concept is just meant for them and they slay it every single time
Wow I just imagined Taemin's voice with the song at it fits perfectly. They are indeed Dark King and Queen.
if taemin wasn't on military duty, they'd definitely have a song together
@@shush9687 seulgi did have songs with taem...it is such an eargasm to listen them in one song...i never thought i ever need tht in my life
@@mfkimkai The only song I can think of is "Enemy", but that's Wendy who's in the song with Taemin. I might as well go check into his albums again cause we definitely love this kind of collabs between SM artists (in his debut album he had Kai in a song and it's really cool).
So true - Seulgi and Taemin - masters of music universe - amazing masterful talents
The “you’re in danger” part literally destroyed me. I’m gonna need 5-7 business days to recover
Also the first line "i kissed your brother" 🥺🤡
@@pulkitgrover8726 that had me shook ngl
FACTS 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 🥴
1 to 5 to 7
ikr
"SM soloists are so scary", YES, all SM needs to do to kill me is put Taemin, Baekhyun, Seulgi, and Key together
U forgot Taeyeon and atleast Hyoyeon we need a versatile women. ✊
Edit : ahuh! we must not forget YUNHO & CHANGMIN esp BOA respect the mother and father
😉Instead of BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER,, SM be like : "SM WATER TASTE LIKE WATER"
how could you forget their mother.
omg Kai's album are also very gooood
My fav soloist yess!
key? be serious
It definitely feels like a deeper dive into the Seulgi & Irene thing they had going on. Seulgi brings the sort of dangerous and “threatening” aspect while Irene brought the cleanliness and refinement (especially the vogueing in Naughty) this solo very much feels like they’re picking her apart in specific aspects and expanding upon it. With Seulgi and Irene you get Monster and when you take Irene out of the picture you get 28 Reasons. I love it!
I agree! reminds me of the creepy vibe of irene and seulgi’s monster!
the bit with seulgi and her doppelgänger near the end felt like a nod to naughty, too. god i hope the subunit wasn’t just a one-off. 🥲
@@badmiracle i hope too that the unit made a comeback and that their comeback follows up 28 reasons if not at least Monster or if Irene debuts one day that she has a bit of that vibe
PS: Irene can do whatever she wants for her debut but I would love somewhat a follow up to Monster or 28 reasons
Someone also said that this may be a part of the kwangya lore. The starting instrumental of 28 reasons sounds like aespa’s illusion which was black mamba’s pov. Also, seulgi has always been suspected to be the black mamba. These theories are getting interesting. 😅
OOOOHHHHH THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE, because at the beginning of monster mv, seulgi’s the one who controls irene but at the end irene takes over and she now controls seulgi. which means seulgi tried to manipulate irene’s mind but got herself manipulated instead and now it is a battle between her inner-self (her bad side and good side).
2:55 I love how she sings the first line here super soft and light and progressively gets more aggressive in the next line, to the point that she's basically growling
I noticed that and it surprised me the first time I listened to it 😭
Especially when that part was literally right after her "sweet and bitter" line. She gave us sweet then things got bitter. Pls, it's so pleasing to listen to.
@@michamochaoh that line and vocal got me chills 1st time I herd that song till now ; it's my favorite line and sound coz it's reminds me of a violin string note. With that vocal she styled frm high note to low register it's very violin masterpiece kind of play it's tingling and light&smooth Then next second she growl like what violin aggressive part of play.
@@Lunafreya_Nox well put!
SO ADDICTIVE
the s in seulgi stands for slay
striking
spectacular
Stellar
Slaygi
shining shimmering splendid
I was GAGGED the second she said I kissed your brother. Like the delivery was so impactful that I took it personally, and I don’t even have a brother🙃
It was such a gripping intro line for sure
@@lunazulc18 I read somewhere else that it means she would do anything, even kiss our brother, just to hurt us (i say our but you get what I mean lmfaoo)
soloists should be VERY scared of seulgi, she's gonna be a force and this was a 10/10, the best solo debut ever imo.
It feels like a Boa/Taemin song and I’m here for it. Can’t wait to see what she gets into in the future
This! I kept thinking that BoA could have done this song easily. ;)
That growl sounds like BoA fr
i definitely got boa vibes listening to the album.
@@RoamingFlower yeah but Boa has it's own style if this song for boa it would be different for me Seulgi devoured this more bcoz of appealing smooth thin vocal which add to her mysterious theme and aura,, Boa has it's owned but she doesn't have mysterious boa is more of Janet type of soloist artist Seulgi is kind of beyonce type of if we could tell what's the different of this two... And for me THIS SONGS REALLY OWNED BY SEULGI ONLY..
This feels like something that Max Changmin would do
This is the first time I’ve heard seulgi’s vocals so aggressive and with that one part where she does the vocal growl, amazing.
I have a feeling that will be one the biggest names in kpop, not Red Velvet Seulgi, but Seulgi herself. She has everything a soloist should have. All the talents required, creativity, and passion. You can feel the passion oozing out from ever aspect of this comeback.
I wished seulgi MV will enter MTV music awards next year... I mean her 28 REASON MV is a whole new level in kpop for female music industry this generation as soloist it's not just about her MV but as in whole concept esp lyrics... . Nominated is already a big achievement coz we know it's a fan voting so yeah.. Wished that for seulgi.
"Every frame is a painting" is exactly what Seulgi is trying to do. She told us that because this is "her baby" therefore she showed us all her talent and what she's good and that and she's good at art. She's very hands on with this mv and I'm so proud of her for that
Seulgi was so happy whenever fans brought up it felt like a movie in the live countdown cuz that's what was intended this whole album
"SM soloists are so SCARY"
PERIOD!!! This is me for Baekhyun, Taeyeon, Taemin discographies and now adding Seulgi into my A-List soloist 🔥🤯
I've seen people shitting on how 'simple' the MV looks like and I wish they could watch this video and know why it looks unlike the regular kpop mvs. Plus the moment I saw the MV I knew Seulgi herself wanted this film-like simplicity, like this cleancut sophistication. Mother was mothering real hard 🛐
The MV is simple because the song is simple. Sometimes less = more !
Let's be real, a lot of Kpop fans don't know why they want want they say they want. Seulgi is a performer first and foremost. Drowning her in CG and huge sets when we know her for her aura and choreo would have been a huge injustice to her. Some people just don't get it.
I think people sre disappointed because the trailer was so cinematic with so different sets and storyline while this mv is a basic kpop mv with beauty shots and dance shots. Its not bad but people expected something new and interesting because of the trailer
@@Maria-nv7bk People set themselves up like that. Every album trailer is like that and is meant to sell the whole album. And no, the music video does have meaning?? Again, just because it's not flashy doesn't mean there isn't a story. Seulgi didn't want it to be over the top. The location shots are gorgeous. And did you not want her to have choreo or look hot?? It's a fine music video and doesn't warrant this much shit from people.
I don't think people basically understand the depth of these videos. If one syncs the lyrics with the video itself, it would be a revelation. A reactor on Reacttothek's channel interpreted this song as referring to Seulgi's (and in extension all humans) two sides. And the MV plays out those two sides. And that the reason it's called 28 reasons is because she is 28 and has been with herself for 28 years giving her 28 reasons. It gave me chills. This is one of the best MVs I have seen till now because of its commitment to its theme of the song. So it's not just gorgeous shots. The shots have a meaning behind them. Which links up with the message written in the end.
Seulgi wouldn't have let these locations and shots in if she didn't want them herself. She said so herself in the interviews. Her body language is clear and enticing through-out. Anything more around her would have been too much. Everything is focused on her, where you can't run or hide from what she's doing. People wanted blood or gore from her for horror, but sometimes the scariest thing around you is yourself. It's perfect. This set was visualized by her and delivered with the art in mind.
Perfectly said
7:04 “it feels like I am watching a movie” oh my god PD you gotta react to her trailer it was amazing the way it was shot and her acting was beautiful like now I badly want a movie of that please do watch it!!
Honestly.... this is Seulgi we're talking about.
She's the most well-rounded Idol in the game. Were we really expecting anything less than perfection?
I'm speechless oh lord this is something else that I've never seen this evilness & dope in SM entertainment , this fit's her like a glove!! Seulgi you are amazing
And thanks you for this amazing reaction
I still can't believe that I finally got to witness Seulgi's solo debut. I remember being mesmerized by her pre-debut videos and years later she has become my ultimate bias. It's just the beginning of her solo career but I have full faith she will have fun and rock the stage in the years to come. Yass we got 'temptress' Seulgi after seeing her fluffy Ddeulgi side.
The whole album and mv is just so amazing, I'm sorry I can't describe my emotions well enough like others. Definitely 100000000000/10!!! Seulgi is so dreamy, sexy, graceful, beautiful... just wow! Thank you for the reaction, PDnim. Glad you enjoyed it 💛
i’m not surprised by how the song sounds at all but somehow i’m still amazed by it like the production and the sound design just adds so much to her already powerful voice and visuals. long story short i’m in love wit this song 😩😭
SM, I usually really don't like 99% of your decisions, BUT this time I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY, they bring what's screams Seulgi style, I can't, I'm so so happy, FANTASTIC SOLO DEBUT aaaaaaaaah💕
If group not.. But soloist Yesss they let their soloist do what they want to their music now esp their album and Artistry.
imo SM is usually good with solo releases with their artists
i truly have not seen another female soloist go in such a dark but clean direction with their music since perhaps gain with paradise lost, but something about this whole song, video and comeback is so deeply rooted in the image seulgi curates for herself and i’ve been so obsessed
this is the most haunting and shivering i have ever watched and heard in kpop. I'm screaming that this became seulgi's first ever solo. Knowing that seulgi is very hands on with this, proud is an understatement 💯
Once again PD just owns the technical detailed in-depth filmakers take on the video production, the filming, cinematography, editing, and history of kpop music videos. There are other pretenders who think they know but PD is legit and the real...
Oh and Seulgi just owns my life... 😍
This is everything I expected from Seulgi, with perfect execution. I feel like this is a mix of Changmin and Boa styles, and only Seulgi could pull this off.
I also immediately thought about Max Changmin's "Devil" during my first watch, and that got me into a whole spiral of thoughts about how Taemin's "Idea" also has that same duality, and I ended up freaking out about how a lot of the SM soloists lately either play into the "divinity" theme (Key, Taeyeon, Kai, BoA ft. Xin) or into the "villain" theme (Max, Taemin, Seulgi, Hyo), sometimes sharing that dark tone we also get here with Seulgi! I don't know if this is intentional, if there's a bigger vision behind it or if the artists are simply sharing a similar interest in these darker concepts, but I love it regardless and I honestly think it also plays really well into the whole Kwangya universe they have going on!
SM’s artistry is out of this world. Like genuises work there or smtg omg
i love the fact that the song and the mv highlights more of her vocals and her dancing skills cause it was the reason why seulgi chose this song to be the title track in the first place. now i can't wait to see 28 reasons performance!!!
The way Seulgi has effectively introduced us her color with this debut. It’s just too good 🔪⚔️💣🪓⛓
i wanted her to do this concept for soooo long
First off PD's fits have always been FUEGO!! 🔥🥂
I think the cheapest set with just grey background is to show that the "evil" Seulgi is in somewhere dark and vacuity. Opposed to the "good" Seulgi's place is an aesthetic field (it look like where the soul will come after death). That led to the clause "Good and Evil coexist within one person..."
It's the 'Timbaland for Aaliyah' of it all for me!! Slayed, chewed, everything I needed!
I was thinking the same thing!!😳😭
I have been searching everywhere for this fucking comment!!! Yesss!
If you look at the music video, sometimes the one who sleeps and is chained up is Seulgi who is wearing a white shirt (human good side), but also sometimes the one who is sleeping is Seulgi who is wearing a black shirt (human bad side (evil)). That's the visual they try to explain at the end of the video
Exactly! The one side is chained to other. That's why Seulgi's twin image was used. To deliver that message.
I don't have a brother and I felt so jealous with the opening line 🤣
I'm completely obsessed with everything about her debut. Seulgi is in the top tier goddess status when it comes to Kpop soloist.
A collab with Seulgi×Changmin is really a good ideia , and my dream is a Seulgi×Taemin collab couse they a two artista who are good on sing+dance+visual+stage presence
The vibes really resembles
"Sm soloists are so scary" indeed
Taeyeon, Taemin, Key, Baekhyun, Kai, Seulgi
This is what happens when you get one of the (MY opinion) versatile female vocalists, as well as one of the most distinctive voices in kpop, working with one of the greatest production teams. It’s amazing
I hope they show Seulgi in the recording studio.
Seulgi stated that she wanted her video to feel like a movie, maybe that's why it has this cinematic feel
I’m so happy that Seulgi’s solo follows Red Velvet’s dark velvet side. It’s always been her sound within the group.
Wendy followed the ballad velvet side (OOTN). Joy was summer red (Red Flavor). Seulgi did the darker R&B velvet (Psycho and Bad Boy).
My favorite songs from this album are 28 reasons and Los Angeles! She is beyond talented. I’m fairly new to red velvet and I kinda like suelgi going with the dark aesthetic!
I literally heard that song yesterday on Power fm and I had no clue it was so recent, wow!
Sometimes I feel really grateful for turning on that station lol
conceptually and musically very sound, simple and minimalistic, yet very bold. and the vocals dammit the VOCALS!!!
SUPERIOR!!!!!!
This song/mv really justifiying Seulgi as a all rounder. The way she dance, sing, the aura oozing out of her just showing whats shes capable of and this actually reminds me alot of monster vibes accept this one is one level creepier. Also i dont know about you but i get alots of Taemin vibes out of her too and i believed if they give her amount of time she can be a succesfull soloist too, ex like Taeyeon of GG or BoA
And I love how it's just so... HER! Like you can FEEL the life she breathed into this project. I LOVE IT
I love that they didn't try to cram a rap verse in, so refreshing
First off, thank you PD for reacting as always!
Just the concept I'd expect from Seulgi, very artistic as seen in her music with Irene and Bambam. This song is definitely a grower!
tbh this song sits with
yves new ,olivia hye egoistic,invu taeyon,want taemin,rose otg. most unique solo songs
She is an icon, she is a legend and she is the moment. Seulgi nailed it.
SEULGI SLAYED!!
I would love to see Seulgi and Max colab as well!!! Maybe in the end of the year with the smtown album 😍
Yes! Some other reactor said they expected a dance song, and I was like no hunny! This is exactly what I was expecting from Seulgi, pure art!
This song is so great unique but sounds so good.
This song and video blew me away
One of my favorites this year for sure
you should hear the album… it’s a masterpiece literally 😩😩.
It’s not only consistent with red velvet’s musicscape but also their visual themes and storytelling so far. As we know Seulgi has had that villain/evil queen persona for a while now (e.g: psycho, monster and FMR).
I think in terms of artistic style and musically, Seulgi it's the best one. She is capable to do everything and she'll do it marvelously, Seulgi says we have 28 reasons to run away, I'm telling you that she gives me 28 reasons to stay!
Yesss you've captured everything I feel about this solo debut. I'm deep in the reacts rabbit hole but Seulgi slayed us so hard that I haven't heard anyone really talk much about the film-making aspects of the video, so this was extremely satisfying. Except for the first line and the English whisper moment, yeah it's EVERYTHING I would have expected, but delivered at a level that still is so impressive it blew me away. I also think you're the first to comment on the duality being expressed MUSICALLY and not just visually or lyrically, so that is super cool.
And it only has 2.8 million views…. Jail for anyone who hasn’t watched it.
one of the best mvs I’ve watched in a long time, she is so talented. An all-rounder.
Thank you so much for this reaction PD! ❤
This is one of my favourite releases of 2022. Seulgi was absolutely phenomenal. What a song!
Literally was waiting for your reaction and you did not disappoint! I love Seulgi and her solo so much
It's like the good and bad fighting in one person.
there were visuals in the teaser, mood sampler and trailer that I believe wasn't included in the MV and it made it so much more interesting than it already was
I am in love with this song, oh my. everything about it is just perfect.
"SM solo is so SCARY."
Well, so much more scary actually than we expected ☠️
This is the scariest I've seen Seulgi be in my entire life, and she absolutely nailed this concept. I've been waiting to see Seulgi have a solo debut, and this is all I could ever ask for. Her dancing and this entire MV was just art, and beautiful art. This shows us what Seulgi is truly capable of, and we been known about this woman's talent for almost 8 years now. But this shows us her true ability to show us the kind of amazing dancer she is and always has been.
WOW. Is all I can say about this Solo. Honestly, one of my favorite solo debuts..I have nothing to critique.
She is just perfect
imo this sounds like it was originally supposed to be for taemin, but seulgi fills the role very well while taemin is away!
I also thought of Taemin as I was relistening to the song. The heavenly yet sinful vibes
seulgi did this song so well i can’t imagine anyone else doing it
She reminds me of him lol so I got that feeling.
Yess this is giving me Advice, IDEA, and Heaven vibes
Yessss this is giving me Advice, IDEA, and Heaven vibes. Seulgi already featured on one of his bsides, now they need to release a whole title song together, it would be sooooo good
28 reasons for the Devil, Max Changmin and Seulgi feature, is now my dream too 🥲 just IMAGINE IT 🤯
You managed to put what I was feeling about this into words. It's almost hypnotic and just draws you in like nothing else. So, so good.
This song is so good 😭😭😭 I didn't expect that 90s western girlgroup type sound mixed with heavenly SM mixing. It's so incredibly amazing I can't even put it into words. The mv, choreo, styling and of course Seulgi's absolutely unreal vocals just take this to the next level.
💯 agree 💯 satisfying 💯 Seulgi is EVERYTHING ❤️
Seulgi and Max Changmin? That would kill me, so of course I want it.
Please, I was shaking with excitement when her concepts pictures were released and she certainly did not disappoint. Seulgi + dark concepts is a dangerous combination istg. It almost feels like she's a siren here dragging the readers deeper into the chaos that is her. I also love how her dark side have her light side on a chain 😭😭
I feel like this song is also like a letter to/about herself, like she’s talking about how her whole life she’s struggled with internal feelings of greed, temptation while also trying to “not be captivated by evil”, clinging desperately to her own innocence, trying to do right by herself and others
This is everything I wanted for a Seulgi solo. Dangerous & amazing. 💜
I feel like most reaction videos can take a couple of days for PD to post but this one came out hours afterwards. I know PD was seated & ready & lives up to that "I love Seulgi" line at the beginning.
this and dead man runnin' are ones of the best kpop releases i've heard so far this year and that speaks something
If BoA and Billie eilish's music had a child this would be it. Combined with seulgi's voice this is great.
She remembers me a BOA music in the 00's. I love how their voice sounds so deep, dark and gorgeous. She's stunning in all the ways ♡ I love her solo ♡
She's an amazing artist and performer! Can't wait to see the live stages!!
BEST SONG 2022. best kpop song for me until now
Get ready for Red Velvet 2022 Domination❤🧡💙💚💜
Am I the only one who saw direct lyrical connections to Taemin's Criminal? It's like someone had written a song from the side of the Criminal. The more I read the lyrics the more they feel like a mirror. I am not sure it was done on purpose but it's HOT
I actually thought of criminal too while reading the lyrics. In criminal, taemin was the victim who fell in love with the villain while seulgi is the villain in 28 reasons. It felt like seulgi was the one playing with taemin's feelings. Definitely mirror of each other for me too. Maybe both songs have the same songwriter.
A 10/10 for sure. The whole album is great, it is cohesive, super cool. I also thought of her and Changmin together haha
The whole mini album is fucking incredible. I loved Irene & Seulgi and I feel like this is a continuation of that. Absolutely love it.
Not going to lie, I really didn't expect this sort of sound from her, but I'm all for it. It didn't feel forced and she totally owned it. I'm really impressed and happy for her. I hope everyone likes it as much as I do.
Red Velvet always gives me this horror vibe, slightly off, kinda unsettling but alluring, like you're caught in a spider's web. It's a fantastic song. 💜 Edit: The braids and red zipper thong outfit gives me Christina Aguilera Dirty era vibes.
Liked the input on the cinematic looking shots :) ... I've noticed it in the 2nd watch that the outside shots are unusually cinematic ! Definitely one of the best MVs this year
I would love to know your comments on Seulgi's album trailer because it's just so good! Very cinematic and eerie!
SEULGI...
KOREAN MUSIC'S SO UNIQUE, I LOVE IT
Oohh actually there have been theories going around that the Black Mamba exists in different forms and the “evil” members from each groups or artists like Changmin, Taemin and Seulgi could be the Black Mambas.
Damn imagine a sub-unit of these three of just an evil, seductive and snakey concept I would love to see that.
So basically Black Mamba isn’t really a person themselves but is more of a shapeshifter
you should check out her opening film for this comeback.... it was AMAZING
I love that she still stayed with the iconic RV dark horror aesthetic it suits her so well
right!! the stills feel like a scene from a movie, even the beauty shots looked diff compared to other idol mvs
I would LOVE to see her collab with Changmin and Taemin. The three of them have such similar vibes with their music
