KMTF LA - April 28 Fanmeet Chicago - April 29 Hmmm. I wonder if there's anything else in store for North America.

Red Room North America?

Several news articles on Red Velvet's upcoming trip to North Korea have been posted. Here's one from the Associated Press: https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/k-town/8254444/red-velvet-south-korean-k-pop-singers-perform-north-korea What's interesting is this passage: During Tuesday’s talks, the two Koreas were unable to agree on which songs the South Korean singers will sing in Pyongyang, a potentially sensitive issue in a country where most citizens are blocked from accessing outside information. But South Korean delegates said they are optimistic an agreement can be reached, saying they will exchange letters via a cross-border communication channel. “When it comes to the list of songs, I don’t think it will take a long time if we talk about the songs they know,†said chief South Korean delegate Yoon Sang, a popular singer and composer. “Some sensitivity remains regarding which songs we’ll choose.†In other words, the song choices for RV will be determined via negotiation. Question is, what songs will get picked? I'm guessing One Of These Nights. Or maybe some traditional Korean song.

Yes, that will probably be one of the safest places on the Korean peninsula since so many eyes will be on them.

I don't think there are any regulations against that.

Very nice! My only complaint (and a minor one) is that the music is muffled as a result of recording the room audio. They should've laid a new audio track off the CD. For examples of cleaner audio see the dance practices for Secret and I Wish. But really great choreography. I find myself watching this and the live performances more often than the MV.

She was technically correct but AAAARGH!

Oh yeah, now I see it's fake. Sorry about that.

I don't think it's our Joy. She did have good things to say about Wendy, Seulgi and Yeri in a reaction video. (Bad Boy segment starts at 2:02.)

Too much of a stretch, unfortunately. The Mamamoo song is still going strong and GOT7's new song just came out.

Bad Boy won the OH chart this week: http://onehallyu.com/topic/659152-oh-chart-week-2018-week-4-results-thread/

Yay! It's about time!

Looks good to me at 720p and 1080p.

I agree. The dance practices look more sleek when they're in shorts/pants/tights. The dance practice video for Secret is my favorite.

Mei Qi + Red Velvet = best dance line ever

I'm sort of in the same boat; I don't dislike Happiness, but it's not in my list of favorite title tracks. What I find remarkable is that for a debut song it did such a good job of defining Red Velvet's musical style. Here we are, almost 4 years since that debut, and Happiness still sounds quintessential Red Velvet.

Yes, really. Doing a comeback is an exhausting full time job, and she basically has a second job (China) on top of that.

Ouch. I think Huff N Puff is climbing the list of the most dissed RV songs. Attaboy is at the top of that list and RR (breaks my heart) is also up there.

Yup, appreciation for the song was close to 100%. Appreciation for the MV was in the neighborhood of 50%.

You are not alone. There was a thread on Rookie a few days ago:https://onehallyu.com/topic/655600-red-velvets-supa-lookie-rookie-finally-hits-50m-youtube-views/. I'd say more than half the posters there liked the MV. The thread discussing the Rookie MV when it came out is 21 pages of hardcore dissection at https://onehallyu.com/topic/463946-red-velvet-rookie-mv/. Too many pages for me to figure out the like-vs.-dislike distribution.

Ouch. I kinda agree with you --- "windows xp background" is a great description. And the latest WJSN MV (Dreams Come True) has a flying queen size bed that looks nicer than those flying spaceships.

Maybe sunnykyute was comparing MMM's MV to the I Just MV.

You're referring to the MV for Starry Night, right?

Oh, Wendy can definitely pull that off. I mentioned Joy only because I think her voice is suited mainly for soft soulful songs such as this one. She's done a number of OSTs like this.

That is gorgeous. Then again, I don't think I've seen a bad picture of Sooyoung.
