Red Velvet New Look Hotel for "Cosmic" Album

Instead, the video feels separate from their other work. This can leave fans confused, especially since it's their 10th anniversary!

Beyond Midsummer

Even though the video borrows a lot from Midsommar, it's still important to judge it on its own. Does the strange atmosphere fit the song "Cosmic"? Does the video tell a story and have cool visuals?

Here, opinions differ. Some might like the dark feeling because it goes with the song's mood. Others might have preferred a happier video to celebrate Red Velvet's 10 years.

Learning from "Cosmic"

The "Cosmic" music video shows us how to use references well. It's okay to get inspired by other things, but it's important to make it your own and fit it with your style. In the future, Red Velvet's videos could strike a balance: using small references while creating their own unique visual style.

In the end, whether you like "Cosmic" is up to you. Did it live up to the hype? Did the Midsommar stuff make the video better, or did it take away from the song? These are questions only you can answer.

KpopSingers Group Red Velvet: 

Red Velvet's name reflects their duality: "Red" for their bold side and "Velvet" for their classy side. Their playful lightstick, "Kimmanbong," which translates to "kimchi dumpling," is a fun twist on their official name. Interestingly, Joy is the only member who wasn't part of SM Entertainment's pre-debut trainee team. Originally a four-member group, Yeri joined Red Velvet in 2015. Their debut music video for "Happiness" had a rocky start due to controversial imagery, but it was later re-released without the offensive content. Finally, their devoted fanbase is called "ReVeluv," a combination of "Red Velvet" and "love," with a hint of "level up" for good measure.
