the symbolism in this MV is crazy - Wendy in the corridor with Seulgi looking through the keyhole representing the lives that were trapped in the ferry - Seulgi walking out of the corridor and being parralel with the water because the ferry tipped before sinking - the ladder joy is on with the water below her - the tea because students said they were eating soup and noticed the soup was tilted - the unknowing of which way is up vs down - the way the girls are sitting around a table with one another because the survivors said the last thing they did before the panic was eating lunch with their friends - the lights turning off as seulgi walks back into the corridor and the most poignant symbolism is regarding yeri 1. the cover of the velvet album has yeri's face blurred because she was the same age as the students in the sewol ferry disaster 2. yeri being in a boat lying down 3. the boat being filled with water as yeri seems to be asleep most of the people on the ferry were school aged kids the same age as yeri and i think the use of yeri to display the disaster makes it even more emotional

This baby needs more attention. "One Of These Nights" deserves better appreciation, for real.

Unpopular opinion : one of these nights is the best redvelvet song

4월만 되면 이 노래를 들으러 오게되는데 평생 이럴 것 같다 그 때 고등학생이었는데 사고 소식을 들었을 때 학교 분위기도 수업할 때 분위기도 어수선하고 어지러웠음 그리고 그 날은 유독 교실도 어둡고 공기가 축축했던 기억이 있음 우리학년도 수학여행을 앞두고 있어서 더욱 마음이 너무 아팠는데 아마 평생 그럴 것 같다 죽을 때까지 잊지 않을게

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.

Today is the Anniversary of the Sewol Incident. May their souls rest in Peace

why don't people appreciate velvet comebacks as good as they appreciate red comebacks? who wouldn't want to sit back and listen to their angelic vocals?

이 노래만 들으면 성수대교 붕괴사고였나 인명사고로 자식을 잃은 어느 아버님이 특집기사인가에서 하셨던 말이 떠오름. 딸과 단 한번이라도 다시 만날수있다면 천년이고 만년이고 기다릴수있다고. 기다리고 싶다고. 그 정도의 간절한 그리움이라면, 세상에 신이란게 정말 있다면 만나게 해줘야하는거 아닌가 막연히 생각한 적이 있었는데 이 곡 작사한 사람도 비슷한 생각이었던 거 같다. 천년만년을 기다려서라도 꼭 한번 다시 만나고싶은 상대가 있는 사람들이 7월7일 은하수 다리를 건너서라도, 꿈에서라도, 4분짜리 곡에서라도 만날수있었으면 하는 그 마음. 제발 바라건대 그런 사람들이 더이상은 생겨나지 않았으면 좋겠다

"I don't want to die" "i want to live" "i have dreams" "Lets meet alive outside" these takes my soul away RIP

Spring Day represents the survivor while One Of These Nights represents the one who died.

This is the best song of Red Velvet, but the whole universe is not yet ready for this conversation.

가끔 이 곡이 문득 생각날때가 있다. 주로 7월같은 여름의 어슴푸레한 새벽이나 한밤중에 그런데, 오늘은 유독 추운 겨울밤에 이 노래가 자꾸 맴돌아 들으러 왔다. 사랑한 시간보다 더 오래 이별하는 중인걸... 가사가 너무..사무치다.

Today was 7 years Sewol Ferry Disaster .. Rest in peace ..

hi everyone, I just want you to know that this mv is based off the Sewol accident on April 16th (Korean time), 2014. This ship was carrying 476 people, and most of the people were students from Danwon High School, on their way to Jeju island for an overnight school field trip. The ship sank. Only a few of them survived however, and although there was time to rescue them, they passed away because the captain reminded them to hold still with the life jacket. It is a tragic story and event that everyone should take seriously, and so while you watch the movie, I ask you to please think of them and give them prayers. Some of the evidence that backsup that this mv is about Sewol ferry incident are as follows: 0:02 - 0:18 the students (from Danwon High School) is getting prepared for their field trip, putting on makeup. (Korean students usually all put makeup on before going somewhere like this.) 0:20 - 0:24 in this scene, the setting (where Wendy is) looks like a corridor or a hallway of the ship. Signs such as 'NO SMOKING' can be seen. 0:29 Seulgi sees Wendy trapped inside the ship, but decides to leave her so that she can survive (and rescue herself). 0:37 Seulgi faces the ocean. This scene shows that she is out of the interior of the ship, and the water represents the sea. The ship is sinking rapidly. 0:48 Irene does not know what is going on. Joy sees her, but she decides to rescue herself as well like Seulgi. 0:56 she climbs the ladder to escape from the sinking ship. 1:01 the background, as you can see, is blue water. This represents how the ship is already filled with water. 1:10 Seulgi has stayed, unlike how she decided to leave at the first place. She wanted to stay for her friend, to rescue her friend (wendy). 1:18 However, Wendy has already drowned, (as you can see by the raining in the background). The rain represents water, and how she drowned before Seulgi could rescue her. 1:28 the tear represents sadness and grief. 1:47 The background (which is where every other members are in except for Joy) fades into black. This reveals that all of them passed away, except for Joy who rescued herself. (She is the only one in the light.) 1:54 Now trapped (she was trying to rescue her friend inside the ship, so she did not choose to rescue herself, although she knew what was going on), Seulgi faces her fate (death). The water image in the background, again, represents the sea water inside the ship. 2:10 - 2:28 All of them are in heaven now, and Seulgi as well. 2:49 Candles were used during the Sewol ferry incident as to symbolize last bits of hope. This scene shows candles, and how all members are praying. (Their hands are all held tightly together.) 2:58 and 3:04 Irene dies from the water coming up to her nose. This scene shows how the students in the ship were trying to live by holding their nose to the top of the ship (the ceiling). 3:21 Yeri passes away. The water comes up to her boat. This reveals how the ship has completely sank. 3:28 the water breaks from the glass. This shows how the water is pushing against the window (of the ship), causing it to break and to fill the inside of the ship. Irene falls. 3:43 If you saw, Joy is the only one wearing the black clothing while the other member in the same background (heaven) wore the white gowns. People usually wear black when they go to a funeral. So from this scene, it can be inferred that Joy is the only one who survived. She is mourning for her friends. 3:58 if you see at the top closely, Irene is below and tables and other furnitures are floating. This shows that Irene drowned. And water makes the tables to float. Every April 16th in Korea, Koreans try to remember and take a moment to think about this incident, for the people who have passed away. The most frustrating part is that although there was time to rescue them, false instruction and poor equipment was a major flaw that made these students, in their high school days, to die. I just wanted to mention this because it seems like a lot of people don't know much about it. Please take a moment to think about the students and the victims of this incident.

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.

What a beautiful yet sorrowful song. Redvelvet is top-tier when it comes to musicianship and concepts.

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

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

I have told you guys. RED VELVET is Trendsetter to kpop nowdays. See another group trying hard to copy them Proud to be REVELUV!!!

it kind of sucks that the dark and sexy velvet comebacks are the only ones popular, like bad boy and psycho. this is my favorite velvet concept for red velvet. it's vulnerable, yet mature. sweet, yet alluring. hope they do a title track like this someday

Red Velvet are truly risk takers... Imagine promoting a R&B ballad after 2 years of debuting. Generally it’ll be wiser and better for them to promote more upbeat songs in order to have a stable image of themselves as a group during the earlier years but RV instead choose another way round by not doing what others usually do. Really love them for serving such music

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

you would never see this kind of comeback again in 2023, having a totally ballad song for a comeback and the mini album is just full of ballad songs

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.

I'm not Korean ... but, the tragedy of sinking a sewol ship is very sad

Remember 041614🎗️ Rest in Peace to the beautiful souls, you will never be forgotten❤️🎗️

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

With the amount of aesthetics, transitioning, symbolism, and meaning in this MV I really hope it gets the Best Music Video award at MAMA

Wow. This song really speaks to my heart. I lost my newborn son hours after his birth on June 21st at 2:23am. I relate to the lyric "I’m going through heartache longer than the times we loved" a lot.. The song title "July 7th" is a day before my son's funeral. Before any of this happened, I loved this song simply for it's beauty.. And now it has an even more special place in my heart, because it speaks to me on an even deeper level. Rest in piece Antonio Evan. 💕 Mama will always love you. Let's meet again in my dreams one of these nights.

It has been 7 years since Sawol ferry happened. Just stay for a minute to tribute all the people have passed away in the tragedy accident . Rest in peace. 16.4.2021.

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

I can't be the only one who thinks this is by far the best RV song. I mean, the vocals, the chords, the instrumentals, the MV. I love it

you haven’t lived if you haven’t cried your eyes out while watching this mv

that scene where irene is falling over with all the water flowing out at her really gets me and it feels like my heart is being ripped out

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.

One of the best MV i've ever seen. I know most k-pop MVs have great production design, but this is one of those who don't just use things for aesthetic purposes but for storytelling too. And it's a beautiful story. I read the english lyrics as i watch the MV and i couldn't help but hold back my tears.

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.

Do you know what's sadder than the song itself? It's that so many people ignore this heartfelt, beautiful, and amazing song. One of the most underrated and underappreciated masterpieces.

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

I came back here because Sewol ferry finally raised. Love Red Velvet so much. Their music are more than just a catchy tune and beautiful faces.

Joys change of make-up is really pretty with that straight short hair.

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

세월 빠르네 벌써 시간이 이렇게.. 난 가사처럼 여전히 멈춰있는데

How can you say the song is boring? It's really beautiful. You're too accustomed to hip hop and such, you can't even appreciate a well done slow-beat song. Seriously. And it seems like most of you don't get the Red Velvet concept... Red is for upbeat songs and Velvet is for slower ones. Red: Happiness Velvet: Be Natural _ Red: Ice Cream Cake Velvet: Automatic _ Red: Dumb Dumb Velvet: One Of These Nights You get it now? The comebacks are in pair and each pair is divided by the two genres. First you'll get the hyper comeback and then you'll get the relaxing one. Stop saying you're disappointed with SM because the song is too slow for your liking, it's how it is and that's it. Just appreciate their nice vocals and the beautiful song.

Spring Day represents the survivors while One of These Nights represents the victims. This MV was released a year before Spring Day and it is more touching if watched in sequence, it can really represent the reality that we, especially the families that involved. I hope these fairies are rest in peace there and will always be happy to await for their loved ones ... 🎗️

I always cry everytime Yeri appears on that boat...

this is real music. one of their top 4 title tracks. people just haven’t woken up yet.

Top 5 Red Velvet Songs 5. All 4. of 3. their 2. songs 1. One of These Nights

"So let's meet again" reminds me of a student who was involved in a tragic accident in sewol ferry, she said "We'll survive so what a bs, let's meet after we survive."

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

red velvet know what having diversity in your discography is

This MV deserves more views. This has the best cinematics among the rest of RVs MVs: the cuts, angles, pans and transitions are perfect. The symbolisms adds up perfectly. It's a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece both music and MV. This should reach a hundred million views.

Wendy and Seulgi's voices shine in ballads

Its so sad about the sewol ferry tragedy. RIP beautiful soul

one of red velvets best title tracks till this day.

I just can't celebrate during my birthday (it happened on my birthday) because It will always remind me of Sewol Ferry incident. Rest in peace to all the victims.

SM really risked a lot with OOTN, but I guess they thought it was worth the risk because this song, even on its own, is very beautiful. It's message, symbolism and the emotions of the song can truly be felt. I don't understand why this has been their underrated release because this deserves a lot of love and support. It's such a beautiful song, it really is. The lyrics melts my heart. Whenever I shuffle my playlist and this comes on it's really hard to move on to another song, I always end up replaying this for half the day. This deserves much appreciation. This is the best Red Velvet song for me. Truly is a masterpiece. To whoever wrote this, you made my life brighter and to the Red Velvet members who sang this you really gave my life color.

Who came back here after learning the meaning of the mv?

시간이 지날수록 더 주목 받게 될 곡인거 같아요

This shows how well trained vocally SM groups are. They might not be main vocal material individually, alas Irene, Hyoyeon, etc, but everybody has enough technique that when they sing together it's angelical. Be it EXO, Shinee, F(x), GG, SuJu, RV, they are great in general, they all have that specific "whole group singing together" that virtually every SM group has.

Today marks the 6th anniversary of the Sewol ferry disaster. Mourners took a moment of silence lasting for 40 seconds earlier this morning, to honor the victims, offering chrysanthemum flowers, which they all throw in the ocean. #Remember0416 🎗️

This MV is so surreal. The symbolism, color, and the artistry makes me feel like I'm watching a Wes Anderson movie. One of the best K-Pop MV I've ever seen

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.

5 years...Sewol Rest In Peace

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

this Golden song deserves 1B views

벌써 4월… 레벨 노래가 그날을 조금이라도 더 기억할 수 있도록 도와주네.. 잊지 않을게요🎗️

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

🎗 꿈속이라도 괜찮으니까, 우리 다시 만나.

Let's appreciate how the music video ends at 4:16 before the credits appear on screen. I hope the sewol victims' families like this beautiful piece of art and this could comfort them at least a little. May those who left rest in peace.

I heard this song was dedicated to the students who perished in the sewol ferry tragedy and this song is very meaningful probably to those who did survive. I hope this song gets more recognition. Rest in peace to those students who passed away in that tragedy. I feel incredibly sorry for those students parents who would give anything to bring their children back. I can't imagine anything like that happening to me or a loved one. Even if I didn't know them, I'm quite sure I'm not the only one who would give up things to bring them back

I don't understand why so many people are disappointed. Were you expecting an upbeat song? Then you clearly don't know how Red Velvet works.. They are a group with dual concepts, they have their 'Red' side which is their fun and happy side with songs like Dumb Dumb and ICC. This is their 'Velvet' side, their soft and classy side where songs like Automatic and Be Natural are included. They came back with their Red side last time, now it's the Velvet side. This is how Red Velvet works and I'm really happy SM has this concept for them, it's unique and we can see different sides of their music. I couldn't be happier with it.

I don't understand how people can not love this song. Its so beautiful.

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 :(

SM needs sue or do something.. plagiarism isn’t cool.. one of these nights is such a work of art.

For people new to red velvet: If you like this kind of music by them try listening to candy, hear the sea, take it slow, cool hot sweet love, moonlight melody, perfect 10, little little, remember forever, wish tree, first time, rose scent breeze it's the same vibe

their best and most underrated title track:(

Wendy's "One of these days, one of these years." at the end never fails to give me chills.

노래가 듣고 싶어서 왔어요 이 노래를 들으면 내가 살아있다는 게 미안해서 눈물이 나요 하교 중 버스에서 들은 뉴스 다 살았대~ 하던 저녁 교실 이렇게 아픈 이야기를 노래나 뮤비로 만드는 건 너무하다는 생각을 했었어요 방탄소년단 봄날도 그렇고 근데 이제 알겠는게 뭐냐면 이 노래 들으면 이 뮤비를 보면 그때 생각이 나요 나보다 한참 어려진 그 애기들은 잘 지내고 있을까요 외국인들이 sewol’s song 이라고 해요 어디든 어느 나라든 안전사고가 일어나지 않기를.. 하늘의 친구들이 편안하기를 바랍니다

*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 !!

Although 5 years have passed, i can't hold back my tears whenever i watch this video. These students are too young and have a wide future ahead. Disaster occurred due to the lack of responsibility of the captain. Every year in 16/04 i will keep coming back here to be tribute unlucky victims. On behalf of Vietnamese people, I want to send the best wishes to the relatives of the victims and i hope all these students feel happy in paradise. From Vietnam with love

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.

Best and most underated song of Red Velvet

this is probably one of the most beautiful & mesmerizing/hypnotizing song i've ever heard, sadly very underappreciated

🎗🎗🎗🎗 Im late but Rest In Peace to all 302 students 🎗🎗🎗✨🐳

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!!

people who said that the velvet album is boring is NOT human

When I am in love, I play "Psycho" But, when I am in blue, I play "One of these nights" Red Velvet is always by my side either happy or sad.

I remember when RV reacted to this MV and said "where are Wendy's eyebrows"

0416. Today is 5th year sewol incident :'

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

사랑한 시간보다 더 오래 이별하는 중인걸... 은하수 너머에 아득히 먼곳에 하얀 우리의 기억을 건너는 날.. 꿈속이라도 괜찮으니까 우리 다시만나..

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💗💗💗

I can’t believe other people failed to appreciate this song. This is one of the best songs of Red Velvet for me, this is a masterpiece.

🎗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⭐🎗

one of the most important releases in kpop industry

Today's mark as the 6th year of Sewol ferry tragic accident. May all the soul of victims rest in peace. You will always be remembered. 🎗

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

Be Natural - 17M Automatic - 16M OOTN - 16M Velvet side deserves more than this. #VelvetMarathon ❤

Me listening to this while i pretend to be an unhappy married wife holding a glass of wine while looking out the window reminiscing about my past lover, how we talked, we touched, we kissed, we loved. Wishing we meet again
