I was doubtful about this song being about the Sewol sinking, but after reading a few articles on it, I can't help but wonder if that is true. 0:00 - Despite being dolled up and made to look gorgeous, the girls all have the same, sad look on their face. 0:06 - A yellow butterfly is seen behind Yeri, symbolizing hope. Yellow is also the color of the ribbon used for the Sewol disaster. 0:20 - A sign on the bulletin board says "AIS on 15-16." The AIS (a maritime emergency/distress signal) of the Sewol ferry was deactivated on either April 15 or 16. 0:22 - The interior of the set is much more similar to that of a boat corridor rather than a motel. 0:28 - Seulgi is peering into the keyhole of the door, symbolizing how she realizes the boat is sinking. She then faces the camera and perches herself on the balcony that is already beginning to flood with water. 0:43 - Irene, facing a porthole like mirror or window, stays still, as the passengers of the ferry were told to remain where they were as the boat sank. 0:51 - Joy, the sole survivor here, sadly looks at Irene, knowing she cannot help her. 0:58 - Joy is seen climbing the ladder and therefore escaping the waters below her. 1:05 - The image of Joy is disturbed by a cup of tea. The passengers were drinking tea at the time of the sinking and noticed the tea was tilted. This was the first sign that something was wrong for them. 1:12 - Seulgi attempts to escape with Wendy by opening a window, but she sees that it is already too late for Wendy. She is soaked in water, signifying her drowning. They cry together. 1:32 - In likely the most obvious sign in the music video, we see Yeri sound asleep in a boat that is rapidly flooding. She is roughly the same age as the students who passed away in the disaster, and showing her death symbolizes the loss of these children. 1:45 - A white light (heaven) swallows up the other girls, dressed in white (angels), as Joy fades away from them as she is the only survivor. At this time, the lyrics sung are "Let's meet again," further supporting the idea that the rest of the girls died while Joy lived. 2:03 - Seulgi, who has realized the severity of the disaster, had the chance to escape as well. But as the halls of the ship flood, she accepts her imminent death and opens the door to Heaven, where the other members (excluding Joy) welcome her in white robes. 2:41 - Wendy crawls under a table, which many of the trapped passengers did as the ship began to sink. 2:49 - The girls are surrounded by candles, in potentially a fantasy where they can all be together again. The candles represent honoring the dead, and Joy's yellow dress indicates hope once again. 2:58 - Irene is face to face with the water, as it slowly begins to drown her. The furniture is somewhat tilted, symbolizing the tilt of the ship as it sank. 3:07 - Yeri finally wakes up, but by now it is too late. The boat has flooded and she is staring at the sea, accepting her fate. 3:21 - Yeri succumbs to the waters and passes away. 3:38 - The porthole breaks open and floods with water, drowning Irene. 3:44 - Joy appears in black now, to show respect for the deceased. 3:51 - Another example of the posthumous fantasy with Red Velvet reunited. 3:58 - Irene is on the ground, surrounded by blue walls, representing her body trapped in the ship. You can see furniture floating above her, as if they are floating in the water. 4:02 - A member walks down the hall as the lights go out one by one, which can symbolize either the power going out as the ship sank and/or the lives lost in the disaster. And finally, the most compelling detail of all, this video was released exactly one month prior to the 2nd anniversary of the disaster. Not only that, you can see a moon behind a cloud multiple times in the MV. This video was released exactly two *lunar* years following the sinking. May all those who passed away in the disaster rest in paradise.

please don’t conment about the situation in this music video, this music video was a tribute to countless people who lost their lives and it’s so inconsiderate for people to show negativity about irene and the stylist here.

I remember Seulgi cried after being shocked because this song won an award. T.T

I always remember, Seulgi cry when they win.They didn't expect to, but they did. All members are so emotional during encore

Redvelvet songs fits in every occasion Example: RedFlavor:Summer Zimzalabim:Birthday party One of These Nights:Basically my funeral

*SM's vocals is just wow.... this MV just prove that*

hailed as a bold move at the time when k-pop artists commonly aimed to release the catchiest dance hit, but instead red velvet unleash this masterpiece.

Im probably wrong but I'll try I think that: Yeri symbolize students who died in this tragedy Seulgi symbolize families of victims Joy symbolize survivors Irene symbolize people who watched this tragedy Wendy symbolize people who refused to believe what's happening and unfortunaly - decided to listen to the captain

If Red Velvet performed this song live with a full band and orchestra, it would win a Grammy. Nobody is making music like this here in USA.

Everyone shut up this is actually a cinematic masterpiece.. Why is no one talking about how visually stunning their music videos are

Im glad to see all these people here respecting the victims 🎗 We will always remember you 🎗 Even the people that didnt,know you The people that love you all We will keep you going on 💗💗💗💗 Rest in peace beautiful babies💗💗💗

this Golden song deserves 1B views

their best and most underrated title track:(

Always in love with Red Velvet’s Velvet side. Always underrated but always high quality music.

This is the song that makes me fall in love with red velvet. Such an underrated song. Their voices harmonized perfectly and the music is beautiful yet haunting. Their aesthetics in the mv are so beautiful and the theory behind the mv is heartbreaking. I will always remember this song as my first song. Red velvet saranghae!!

I've never cried so hard, Every time I hear about the Sewol Ferry Tragedy I burst into tears. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗 We will always remember them

*I ALWAYS get goosebumps when joy say’s Uri Dasi Manna*

*English Translation* I just woken up from a dream There’s a sad, lone star in the dark sky once again Goodbye, we said our awkward goodbyes As I turned around and went on my way It felt so far In the same time, just for a minute In the same place, stay for a minute In that short moment, everything stopped for you and me Why didn’t I know that was a miracle? I’ve stopped in that day with the old story I’m going through heartache longer than the times we loved Past the Milky Way, in a faraway place I’m going through our white memories It’s alright if it’s just a dream Let’s meet again One Of These Nights Let’s meet again One Of These Nights I can’t quickly forget Because I’m still in the same place even when the pages of the calendar turns In your eyes, just for a minute In your passing touch, stay for a minute In that short moment, everything stopped for you and me Those times shine for me I’ve stopped in that day with the old story I’m going through heartache longer than the times we loved Past the Milky Way, in a faraway place I’m going through our white memories It’s alright if it’s just a dream Baby One of these days One of these years Waiting is just a little thing for me now I’ve stopped in that day with the old story I’m going through heartache longer than the times we loved Past the Milky Way, in a faraway place I’m going through our white memories It’s alright if it’s just a dream Let’s meet again One Of These Nights Let’s meet again One Of These Nights

*Most underrated masterpiece* which makes me want to cry 😭.. how people are not appreciating this song and M/V idk what to say but omg 😯.. this is the best red velvet song ever !!

Those dislikes are from people who doesn't understand the meaning of this song.

It's so sad, realizing all the symbolism in this video, representing what happened to the Sewol Ferry passengers.. Thank you Red Velvet for capturing a tragic event so beautifully that it can bring peace into the hearts of the victims' families when they see this.

🎗사랑한 시간보다 더 오래 이별하는 중인걸🎗 이 문장이 너무 뭉클하네요 친구로 알게된지 오래돼봤자 십년도 안될텐데 그때의 시간보다 몇배는 오래 이별해야된다는 말이 정말 너무 가슴이 아픕니다 꼭 하늘의 어느 별이 되어 예쁘게 밤하늘을 꾸며주시길 바랍니다⭐🎗

For anybody confused The lyrics tell the story of Tanabata, however the imagery in the MV is reminiscent and symbolic of the Sewol Ferry Incident

사랑한 시간보다 더 오래 이별하는중인걸.. 이라는 가사가 너무 마음이 아프네

I just read the symbolism of the video. Seriously. It just gives more meaning to this. Korean producers are great on giving hidden symbolism to its videos. We usually think it's only random stuff. And this one was actually obvious. Great work, and great tribute. I feel so sad for all the kids that died on that night :(

Joy's stares look like they could pierce through souls.

I ignored this song for a long time (idk why I did Tbh) and now that I finally give it a listen, I feel/felt everything they said. It was in the music at first but their voices really stood out to my ears. I cried because I knew what this was about, despite not knowing korean, I know. People have to stop judging things in different languages because music really transcends in any way shape or form. Im glad I gave this song a chance. Now this’ll be my new favorite RV song for a very very long time.

이 때 레드벨벳 한창일 때라서 히트를 목적으로 두고 최대한 대중적인 노래 내기 바쁜 시기였을텐데 발라드로 나와서 신기했음…

Who else is doing red velvet marathon in 2020?

이 곡은 진짜 다시 역주행 해야함 ㄹㅇ

My mom hates Kpop and she doesn't support me in listening to it bc "that music is stupid". My aunt that was a music teacher in school also said that. But when I let them listen to this song,they didn't say anything bad about it,just like they said for every other kpop song. My mom said it was nice and aunt that it would be better if this was sung in English. OOTN message can touch even cold hearts,and RV gave their soul in it and made it even better. Everybody should at least respect this song.

What an underrated song... Red Velvet is the best group when it comes to unique and creative concepts. It makes a lot of fun to stan this group, because you always get something new and exciting every comeback.

underappreciated masterpiece from SM ent

Dear sm..., we need RED VELVET'S reality show! Mamamoo and gfriend is now on showtime. Many of red velvet fans wanted it. look at twice. They have reality show like private life. Is been almost 2 years...., we don't have any reality show, fandom name,lightstick,fancafe,solo concert Thank You

This is the most beautiful ballad ever in the history of Kpop.

My dad passed away this year and I dedicated this song to him. Just know I love you so much dad, I hope your happy watching down on us and the family. Let’s meet again one of these nights

this MV is actually a tirbute of sewol Ferry Accident guys😭😭 I still remember the date of the ship sinking April.16.2014.

RIP to those students😢 Remember0416

This is the most cinematically mesmerizing and emotional music video I've ever seen in the industry--major applause to the directors and editors

This song is honestly one of their best, yet it’s so underrated

벌써 6년이 지났구나..잘 지내니?? 너희들을 허망하게 보낸 그때와는 다른 좋은 세상으로 바뀌는 중이야..다시만날 날을 기약하며..

Seulgi is so charismatic and is such a great vocalist!

I just woken up from a dream There’s a sad, lone star in the dark sky once again Goodbye, we said our awkward goodbyes As I turned around and went on my way It felt so far In the same time, just for a minute In the same place, stay for a minute In that short moment, everything stopped for you and me Why didn’t I know that was a miracle?

their rnb songs is always my favorite including the music videos

Am i the only one who loves this song more than Automatic or maybe any other song that RV made ? Maybe it is just me that a die hard fan of this kind of song, but i don't know why people keep saying this song is forgettable when everything in market now is either catchy upbeay/non-elegant overload sexy or fierce swag concept, but you couldn't find this elegance and classy concept in every corner of K-Pop or maybe KZbin

This MV is a masterpiece, it's so beautifully directed what the heck The music and video balance so well

Today is the 5th year of the Sewol Tragedy. Let's never forget those dreamers, the students who only wants happiness that day but was left alone in the darkness. They didn't deserve the sufferings. #Remember0416

오늘에야 알았습니다. 이 노래가 세월호의 이야기를 담고 있다는 것을...뮤지비디오 보면서 절로 눈물이 나네요. 아직도 부모님들은 2014년 4월16일 멈쳐 있는 것 같습니다. 레드벨벳이라는 그룹이 이런 이야기를 나누었다는 걸 이제 알게 되어 미안하네요.

Am I the only one who is still watching this MASTERPIECE?

whenever i listened to this song, it never fail to give me goosebumps.. this deserve more recognition.. this song is sooo beautiful that it made me cry while listening to it for the first time

i just wanted to comment on one specific part even though the every aspect of this video is worth every praise, i get an extremely overwhelming feeling and end up crying every time i see yeri in that boat filled with water :(

This song hits differently than all the others knowing that it's based on the Sewol Ferry Tragedy. But despite that, it's still one of the best masterpieces I've ever heard.

If you understand this MV's story,it will become very sad MV

It's been a while I watch this MV. Every time seeing Yeri soaked in water in the boat, my heart dropped and I feel sad.

I don't understand how this song only has 24.5 million views until now. IT DESERVES MORE!!!

remember 16\04\2016 🎗 I always cry when I remember that day.

최애곡인데 이런 노래 앨범 다시 내주면 좋겠다..

A masterpiece. Even in 2020, other girl groups could never!!!

*thanks to red velvet for making such a masterpiece for the sewol ferry casualties. thank you so much.*

I can't believe it's been 9 years I love this song 😢

2019 everyone? Can't stop listening to this masterpiece.

It's a lullaby for me.

Still can’t believe this era was so overlooked and underrated 😔

Why tf is this song underrated

One of the many reasons I adore this group is because they can pull off extremely fun and upbeat songs as well as very smooth and jazzy stuff like this.

Here is my theory about the lyrics being related to the Sewol ferry tragedy. I will try to make a story out of this so yea.... 0:12 "geunyang kkumeseo kkaen geotppuniya, tto dasi kkamadeukhan jeo seulpeun byeol hana" "I just woke up from a dream, to find that sad star is so far away again." The victims souls had a nice dream after moving on, but still see their loved ones experiencing sadness. 0:26 "jal ga seotulge insahago, dwidoraseo oneun gireun cham meolgido hada." "Goodbye I bid farewell awkwardly, the way back home is too far." If you would stereotype a normal teenager, you would probably think that they enjoy spending more time with their friends than their family. When the victims were about to leave with their friends, they felt a little embarrassed while saying goodbye to their loved ones (who were very exited for the victims going on a school trip ) in front of their friends. That's why the "goodbye" was awkward. While they were on the ship, the way back home is very far. 0:40 "gateun sigane ( just for a minute ), gateun gonggane ( stay for a minute ), geu jjalpatdeon sungan, modeun ge neowa nal wihae meomchwoitdeon geu sungan." "In the same time ( just for a minute ), in the same space ( stay for a minute ), in that short moment, everything stopped for you and me." During the same time that the boat sank, memories that the loved ones and the victims were making had stopped. The loved ones were praying that the victims were still alive, so that the victims could at least just stay for a minute and spend more time with the loved ones. 0:56 "wae geuge gijeogin geol mollaesseulka" "Why did we not realize it was a miracle." The victims and the loved ones now realized that every moment that they had spend with each other, bad or good, was actually a miracle. 1:02 "oradeun storywa geu nare meomchun na, saranghan siganboda deo orae ibyeolhaneun jungingeol" "An old story, then there was me who stopped that day. More than the times we loved, we are saying our goodbyes." The tragedy is now just an old story, but when the victims and the loved ones looked back, they blamed themselves for what had happened. In the funeral, more than anything they loved in the entire world, they would actually want to sincerely say goodbye without it being "awkward" this time like before. 1:17 "eunhasu neomeoe adeukhi meon gose, hayan uriui gieogeul geonneoneun na" "Somewhere past the milky way, I will go through our white memories." The victims' souls will remember the memories they had with their loved ones in "Heaven" since it's somewhere past the milky way meaning that it's beyond this world. 1:32 "kkumsogirado gwaenchanheunikka, uri dasi mana" "It's okay, even if it's just a dream, so let's meet again." Even if the loved one had a dream about the victims being alive, it's alright since they would want to see them one more time. So the loved one hopes to meet the victims in the dream again.

wendy eyebrows will be always reminded

🎗부디 그곳에서는 행복하길 바랍니다🎗

People call this a flop I call it a bop

this song deserve more views... its very beautiful and good song...

All these comments of dissatisfaction. It's called The velvet for a reason because it's distinctive from The Red, it's the same reason they are called red velvet...red: lovely young and new velvet: passion, mature and emotions. 2 albums for 2 themes if you haven't realised your not a true fan.

아ㅠㅠ진짜 난 이노래 진짜 좋아했는데.. 뮤비에서부터 코디 손안무 표정 비쥬얼 다 좋았음 그냥 아이돌 무대본다기보다 한편의 연극을 보는 느낌이었어서.. 들으면 감정이입 되면서 기승전결 다 갖춰져 있는 노래라고 생각했는데 왜 못떴는지.. 이런 벨벳느낌의 노래 꼭 다시 내줬으면 좋겠어ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

one of these nights is THAT underrated masterpiece

Rest in peace to sewol ferry incident victims

these girls are always at a table and don't have the audacity to invite me to their dinner

7년 전 오늘을 잊지않겠습니다🎗🙏

2017 , still crying after remembering the meaning of this MV...

This song is perfect to vibe to on a rainy day~

It is truly one of the most beautiful songs in their discography.

This song and the whole album too are so criminally underrated that it is driving me insane 💔💔

One of these nights is too underrated. Definitely one of my favourite title track, after Automatic and Psycho!!

this music video should win best video at mama this year

Came here after hearing about Sulli... I'll see you again in my dreams. One of these nights...

🎗️ A 6 años de esta tragedia, jamás debe olvidarse esto. Que descansen en paz a todas aquellas víctimas del Ferry Sewol. Mi más sentido pésame para todas las familias de los fallecidos.

LET'S MAKE IT 30 MILLION!!! THAT SONG DESERVES MORE THAN 12 MILLION!!!

This song may not be as catchy as Psycho but it really hits me where it hurts. I dont even understand korean but my heart aches so much when I listen to this song

I didnt realize Joy was in 1:40 because she looks very young like a kid or princess😇😇 but now she is a queen with hot visuals

7.7일이라 왔어유 레벨파이링❤

Red Velvet are the R&B queens of K-pop.

This is Red Velvet’s best yet most underrated song

Who else loves Joy with short hair?

Life is too short to pretend you don't like this song

This is one of the most beautiful music videos I've ever seen.

Their new comeback will be another happy bubbly song because those sell the best which I'm not complaining about but I loved this. it's my favorite song of their's and ah if I could just get another song like this that would mean the world. things like this usually aren't in kpop girl groups and I've just feel in love with this song.

This is why red velvet is my favorite gg and are the best gg in Kpop rn(in my opinion) their voices are so fucking beautiful, they’re so talented and all their songs(counting their albums) are a bop!! I STAN THE RIGHT GROUPPP❤️💛💙💚💜

This song is so underrated......I want to cry every time I listen to this. The theme is meaningful and their voices and acting in the mv both express the sorrow feelings perfectly. This is not a bed, this is a masterpiece everyone.

OMG seulgi is so BEAUTIFUL!

2018 anyone?

Knowing this is for sewol ferry tragedy, I'm sad remembering it and also the recent itaewon tragedy. Korea's second tragedy since sewol. On the other hand, I still adore this song so much.

This song deserved a Tudor mansion, baroque interior and Victorian dramatics for the MV. You will never convince me otherwise.
