First listen: “This is their worst comeback.” Second listen: “OH MY GOD HE’S A REALLY BAD BOY HE’S A REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD BOY!”

The mv has a lot of inside jokes of the ReveLuv fandom lol: 1) Irene and Yeri are always said to resemble each other so much so that they could be twins. 2) Seulgi's viral ghost walk 3) Joy is really great with animals and also has a cute dog but in the mv, the wolf thing bites her... 4) Seuljoy is now definitely a thing after Bad boy, Cookie Jar and now this song...

This is definitely a song that grows on you. I personally like it a lot after listening to it a couple of times. I'm very pleased with how they used the members voices in this song. Especially with Wendy, Seulgi and Yeri

Intellectuals know Rookie is amazing 😉

It was said that irene did that belt/scream

It's a rule : You have to listen a song at least two times, to understand the rhythm and appreciate it

lol am I the only one who liked it on the first listen since I knew how red velvet always change it up every comeback

RV is one of those unique girl groups that really do need one or more listens to really get into the group. Experimental is a good way of describing their style of music and mv.

as im korean, when peek a boo or bad boy had been released, many people questioned how it can be a good song because it was too experimental for redvelvet called summer queen. but then people noticed . it is that the Red Velvet's identity. yes. not only popular red side but the other side velvet. i think 'the perfect redvelvet' is Legend of RV history.

Honestly I had to watch it twice too before I decided it was a bop

I agree about the brass but more so when it's a synthetic brass. Also I hated Rookie at first but now its a jam haha

Thriller was also released on November 30th *cough cough* post Halloween horror concepts just work. Red Velvet killed it this comeback. This song and all of the b-sides are certified bops. These are facts.

I love that Yeri is getting to shine a little more n.n

Compared to BAD BOY, RBB it's less melodic. RBB has more hard bass percussions. I won't lie, I had to listen to this title a couple times and I really love it, I do prefer BB, nevertheless pls so a "diving deeper" because their Bsides are epic

i feel like i'm the only one here who instantly love the song at first listen.. i need to repeat the chorus over and over again because i love the adlibs a lot

So many comments to read through so I’ll post any way. Irene did the scream apparently they all tried and her scream was the best. Also this came out nov 30th because that is the date Michael Jackson’s thriller came out.

Plz do listen to the album, it's great...Butterflies and So good are....so good...other songs like Sassy me, taste are good too..

The beat and percussion continue through that bridge part, so it seems coherent and consistent to me, not as jarring. Anyway, at first listen I too was put off, but upon multiple listens I like the song. I am really put off by the Halloween theme this close to Christmas. I think you have to listen to the song outside of the music video, you need to listen to it on its own without the music video to really appreciate the song itself. The vocals stand out that way and you really start to hear all the great runs they are doing in the background. So try and listen to it sans video, IMO it's better. The instrumentals are very crisp and fresh in this.

We really need a diving deeper for the rbb album because butterflies is so aesthetically pleasing to hear

a lot of rv songs are growers, but bad boy wasn't which is why it did so well. but even so, all rv songs are actual masterpieces. i love that a lot of people appreciate it.

I think the main thing that irked me about this song was the sheer number of adlibs in the chorus. It felt like a kind of messy collection of adlibs and not much of an actual chorus melody. I’ve listened to the song since and it’s grown on me a lot, and I’ll always support RV because I love them so much, but yeah, that was my main problem with it 👌🏻

i liked the old thumbnail style a lot more than the new ones pd

This song is really addictive in a weird way.

Just wanted to add, I agree with you on the repetitiveness of the lyrics in the song that you mentioned toward the end of the video. "Really Bad Boy" is said way too much toward the end, Just My Opinion. Needs more break periods, or something in-between lyrically. IMO.

SM is all about setting trends through their artist but I've seen them do it *especially* through SNSD, Red Velvet, and NCT. I really enjoy that all their comebacks have different concepts and completely different or new sounds that you think they would never try before or wouldn't really sound good with. But those three groups have always surprised me by taking a song no matter the concept and making it completely their own so that it's still completely different and new but also familiar? I don't know if that makes sense lol but that's how it feels

The thing about Red Velvet is that they don't give you basic. They don't give you a song you can forget. Even if it is because you adore it or absolutely hate it, it stays with you and eventually, as you understand the way they take on their music is different from everyone in kpop, you end up liking it. Why? Because Red Velvet doesn't make bad songs, only different ones, and you get to realize that with time. Something about the perfect formula and chemistry of putting these five women together in a group makes every song their very own. I can't imagine any other artist performing Really Bad Boy. And at the end of the day, the fact that they end up making me feel this way with every single song of theirs is what really matters. Because in years to come and when people do try to cover their songs, everyone will realize a huge part of the songs being so good was that Red Velvet sang them. THAT is legacy.

I was honestly so suprised i like the song considering theres nothing really going on lyrically

This is probably the most Red Velvet song I've ever heard, the bridge was especially my favorite part, it was so different and unique, unlike anything I've ever heard. Like when I first heard it, I said to myself "what even is this?", I don't know how to describe it, but it's just so THEM!! I love this entire song and have been playing it since it released. For me, it's probably my favorite Red Velvet song to this day.

i had to listen to this song for five times before i got into it. now i can't keep this out my head and it's always on repeat! this song definitely grows on me each listen. not really a fan of repetitive lyrics but i think this song showcased the girls' vocals more than their other songs especially with the background melodies and adlibs. i think this is similar to rookie in ways i can't explain. i love your reaction as always!

I totally agree about red velvet creating a melody with just their voices ..thats why i find it genius how they do the repetitive lyrics because the melody that comes out of it is ameeezing! RBB is literally That song that has everyone pressed over cause its way ahead of its time. We love a group that gives us something new everytime and has people completely shocked but still has that trademark rv weirdness..ugh The Talent! Also they already are serving us so much lyrically and that traditional song arrangements in their b sides like who cares if RBB isn't your cup of tea just listen to butterfly then.

If there's anything I've learned from being a Reveluv is that a somewhat large portion of their music is like...SUPER experimental...This song is such a friggin' bop and I'm super happy with it. It's such a connection with Peek-A-Boo, too.

Literally sums up almost everybody’s experience with Rookie. You either stay hating it or listen to enough that it becomes one of your favorite RV songs. Whenever Red Velvet drops a song especially their red side and people say they don’t like it I always ask “how many times did you listen to it”

I actually thought i wouldn't like it as much as i do now. I remember with rookie it definitely took me awhile to like it cause it was so different and red flavour, for some stupid reason i wasn't feeling it at first, but later on became one of my top fave RV tracks but with RBB i instantly loved it even though it's not normally my style of music.

You should react to the whole mini album, all the songs are amazing!!

i never thought i'd say this about a red velvet song because i adore their vocals but... i feel like this song suffers from having too many ad-libs and background vocals

I actually was interested to see your reaction to this song.

I liked Rookie and RBB right away and all the other songs were ones i had to listen to multiple times before i liked it. I now realize how unique my music taste is lol

Honestly Red Velvet is my favorite kpop band (and one of my favorite musical acts) because they are always experimental and interesting. Like who would have guessed a song that is such an obvious follow up to their biggest hit to be like this? And yeah they all have killer voices.

If this song came out during Halloween maybe I would like it more. The concept is throwing me off at this time of year

I didn't like it the first time but then it ended up being my favorite comeback lol

Bad boy is one of the most iconic songs of all time period ever across all history and genres

The one who made the scream is 'Irene' XD

What i like about RBB is even though its title is just basically adding a word to their previous song, it totally sounds different so you can never say this is just another Bad Boy or just Bad Boy 2.0

I love your confusion and silent reaction for the first time hhahaha

APPARENTLY THIS VIDEO AND SONG WAS RELEASED ON THE SAME DAY AS MICHEAL JACKSON’S THRILLER AND RED VELVET MADE MICHEAL JACKSON REFERENCES IN THE BRIDGE OF DUMB DUMB SO THAT COULD EXPLAIN WHY ITS HALLOWEEN THEMED

PD where are the red velvet album reactions that we have been waiting for, for ages now!!!! I'm still mad you didn't do a reaction to Perfect Velvet 😩😩

Oh man I was waiting for your review. When I first criticized it upon release ppl (biased fans) bashed me. So glad to see some ppl here who feel the same as I do.

I rarely disagree with you but in this song I have to fully disagree. I fell in love with this song ON THE FIRST LISTEN. I have been super obsessed with this song.

i agree to this too like you have to listen twice to it to actually really appreciate it.

Im happy you mentioned seulgi's old bang, cus yeah i miss it a lot too.

React to mino fiancé please please

Everyone's reaction to Irene's scream is funny. Its always "who the hell did that note" and the answer is most likely the last person they would think of which is Irene. Everyone assumed it was Wendy at first. Also, at first listen I didn't like it either. I wasn't as hyped and the arrangement felt off. But after the second listen I enjoyed it a lot. The different sections even when it felt repetitive because of the lyrics actually felt different from each other and had a different vibe each time. But at the same time it felt coherent because the beat and music doesn't change too much. The power of the song was all on their vocals. They were aiming for it to showcase their vocals. To me it works but to some its probably too much.

when i heard the teaser, i knew immediately that i’m gonna love this song. the song somehow reminds me of this horror/suspense feels along with the cheeky vibe. the music is really interesting, i love it because honestly this is totally a hype song for rv, not that much of an rv fan but i’ve listen to their music. i’m glad that they’re evolving, this song has so many interesting elements and they’re totally flexing their vocals in this song which I LOVE. 9/10 for me. some people say it’s messy but i absolutely love it. o

that's what makes red velvet... red velvet... i'm glad they have the courage to experiment with their songs... btw you should listen to their B side... this album B side is... weird LOL... in a good way :D

WILL YOU POST EXID I LOVE YOU REACTION ON KZfaq

I've been waiting for this! thank you for reacting and i hope that you'd react more to red velvet :)

When I first heard this song, I really hated Seulgi’s ah ah aah part during the chorus, but now it’s hands down my favourite part lol also when you said “bad boy was a phenomenal comeback” I heard “foul” and I was like WOAH WOAH WOAH WE GOING BACK

The scream was made by Irene

I love that you watched it twice. You explained it perfectly which was something I could not put into words, as I also needed to watch it multiple times as I came in with the same expectations. I love the song now and can appreciate the song on its own.

its definitely grown on me after multiple listens

I think that this song is their Velvet side with a splash of Red

*btw Irene sung that really high note*

i love this song so much

After all this time,great comeback to another great one, Rookie is still irresistable to me 😂 I love Bad Boy so much and RBB is pretty good too but Rookie is just ughh i still can't resist it, still on loop that i feel like i've been listening to it forever😂

I really appreciate how honest you are because I experienced the same thing with this song.

Omgosh, I have been waiting on this.. YESS!

Pls react to No Air by The Boyz! Such a bop and fell in love at first listen uwu

Everything what u said is what i was thinking, so glad that someone has the same thoughts with me about RV and this mv

Joy's tone of voice is a delight.

Thanks for the honest review for The song and the group Red velvet 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

when i listened to this song i remember the first time i heard i got a boy by snsd and dumb dumb. those songs are really fiesty and messy at first but it grows on you! +++ they are all iconic!

I thought the exact same way as you the first time I heard this song. I think I was very distracted looking for similarities to Bad Boy plus the Halloween video in November. but now I've heard it like 10 times and I'm obsessed with it

I FELT THE SAME WAY. I HAD TO LISTEN TO IT 5 TIMES AND NOW I LOVE IT TY PDNIM MWAH

Whenever my fav comeback, i wait for your reaction pdnim!!

Same I was so confused at first. Buh the more you listen to it, it gets better. 😂❤️

First time I watch your videos. I liked it!

I totally agree with this

they experiment alot in music thats why i love them ❤

RV has a knack for having a simple and repetitive chorus but disguising amazing vocals, synergy and instrumentals. Rookie, Power Up, and Dumb Dumb come to mind. The more you hear of them (from being so catchy), the better they get. They're almost unforgettable as they're always in your head. It isn't my favorite song on the album (2nd fav behind So Good) but this song is so upbeat, you can't help but have fun

Please do a listening party to the album!

I SO get this.. you really have to give velvet a chance and to really listen to it to appreciate them

lmao this was also my reaction to power up, the day they released it i was like "wtf is this" then a few days later i was like singing "Ba-banana ba-ba-banana-nana" out of nowhere.

please react to fiancé by mino

I know the thing with Red Velvet title tracks and how it usually takes time to like them, but I just think it kinda funny that the first time I heard this chorus, I immediately loved it and decided that it was my favorite RV song. Right now, listening to it properly and hearing their others songs, I still love it.

This song was released in honor of Michael Jacksons song Thriller which was released on November 30. Red Velvet are big fans of Michael Jackson, which is why it looked weird that it came out so late when it was Halloween theme. Love your reactions and input keep up the good work

You understand Red Velvet the way I do. I'm always disappointed to those who don't give Red Velvet songs a second listen because they would miss the opportunity to explore something potentially extremely amazing. Red Velvet is the group out there that's almost fearless to experiment. Thanks for always having faith in Red Velvet :)

consider the fact that red velvet is my ultimate girl group and i love everything they release, this song took me around 7 listenings, if i remember correctly, to grow from "what is this?" to "it's a bop" This whole album is amazing, definitely my favorite mini by them so far. Soo Good is the best song they have released this year for me. Taste and Butterflies are amazing also.

I like to watch your video because you go more in depth and talk about the music video and music! And I came here to understand RRB better and understand how I feel about this song

i love that bridge!

RRB was released on the on the anniversary of MJ's Thriller and Wendy in the lime top is wearing just one glove

I need that bgm in review part 😁

Honestly this is the type of song that grows on you. I didn’t like it that much at first, until after I actually found myself enjoying the song without even noticing.

Hope you can react to lovelyz lost and found and exid i love you.

I completely get this, I wasn't sure what to expect with this song and on my first listen I was confused. I actually really like this song after listening to it more though! I think it's unique and like you said, experimental. I think it takes a little getting used to, but the little touches and nuances it has with the melody and even the screams make it really good.

can’t wait for your reaction to the boyz

Haha I had to replay it immediately too. Like, identical initial response.

I was really waiting for your review and good enough it the same reaction as mine hahaha

Thank you. When you listened to it a second time, I remembered why I always look forward to your reviews. This song is too much of a shock to judge on one listen; I particularly love how they flirted with jazz in this release because I haven't heard much of it in K-Pop. I was completely overwhelmed on the first listen, but on the second listen onwards my brain started breaking down each individual element and I haven't been able to stop listening to it since. Some notes: - The Irene & Yeri twin scene is definitely a reference to The Shining, given the cinematography through the corridor which is unique to that. - Try to watch one of their live performances on the music shows. The performances are really impressive. They also have a live performance of one of their B-Sides, Butterflies (which is a more conventional pop song) - I believe the Halloween theme was a slip-up on SM's part (something to do with scheduling their different groups' comebacks). Oh well, if they say it's Halloween go for it lol

i definitely agree with this. the first time i listened to RBB i was like, "...okay." so i went ahead and listened to it again and appreciated it a lot more. just like Rookie, i had to let it grow on me. now tho, both RK and RBB are probably some of my favorite title songs. and lol, same. Seulgi's hair during some parts looks like her hair at the SM Halloween party, and im preparing myself for those December vibes right now (well, it IS December now), and October came back to say hello.

Who's here after his upload of the listening party. Lovin them pigtails ;)
