The theme of this song is “Shi Yue Hao (South Korea Ferry) Ship Wreck”, f(x)’s Red Light is also about that ship, the release date of the song is July 7th. The incident occurred on 20140416 which is march 17th on the lunar calendar. On the album cover, Yeri’s face is blurred because she’s the same age with the victim of the incident, in the MV, Yeri is lying down on the boat and ended up drowned. There are scenes of water in the MV, every member had as ‘escaping’ action, like Joy climbing ladder, Seulgi opening a window and water going into Irene’s room and also Wendy crawling under a table. On some part, Seulgi keep on peaking out at the keyhole, its because she can’t get out from her room and she’s watching the ship sunken slowly through it. And finally on the cover, everyone is wearing a hood and holding a candle, they’re commemorating the incident. At the end of the MV, when the word 'red velvet’ came out in red, it indicates death. Anyway, SM said they delayed the MV due to quality changed, its because they changed the video aspect ratio to 1.33:1 which represents the past, memories and old movies, 16:9 ratio to 1:1 is the recent years, widening to 2.35:1 refers to present time.
