Naughty MV
After releasing a sub-unit track ‘Monster’ on July 6th, Red Velvet Sub-Unit Irene & Seulgi has released the second track “놀이 (Naughty) – Episode 1” MV on July 20th. It also followed by an artsy choreography video entitled Red Velve Irene & Seulgi Episode 2 “IRENE.”
Although there was an unpleasant delay on the debut track Monster MV, the second track has amazed many people globally from the first day, and #LetsGetNaughty hashtag was trending on Twitter.
Both videos are dominated by monochrome. It also has contrast colors and excellent lighting technique. With stunning dance choreography, it looks like more performance show video that you can’t take your eyes off it.
Song Review and Fantastic Choreography
The second song from Red Velvet Irene & Seulgi’s Monster mini-album, Naughty, has a pleasant rhythmic house deep sound combined with a catchy hook and cool bass line. Both of their voices sounded so relaxed yet sassy and sexy while grooving gracefully with complicated and finger movements in Naughty MV.
The song has funny lyrics that describe the feeling of a relationship that develops with the game of hiding and seek. The Naughty MV has proven excellent dance skills from the duo Red Velvet Irene and Seulgi. The duo performed a different dance from the typical Kpop dance choreography.
tutting is a new style of dance they’ve never learned before but look at how they ATE this. two of the best performers this generation and that’s on period#LetsGetNaughty @RVsmtown pic.twitter.com/fFeX1ZIHYp

Not just mirroring each other movements, but the hands/finger choreography is jaw-dropping. The dance in Naughty MV is full of hand/finger movements known as Tutting. It’s a street dance style known for its complex finger angular movements, like ancient Egyptian art, and refers to King Tut.
Moreover, on Episode 2, Irene MV, Seulgi resembles Irene. Again, both were dancing energetically and create harmony. You might stop a few seconds (or many times) to see the difference between Seulgi and Irene.
Let’s watch Red Velvet Subunit’s videos once again. Dare to try the dance?
