Already so many theories have jumped left right & centre, speculating with one subject in mind; the supernatural. We have had link to vampires, especially with “Peek-A-Boo” succeeding “Red Flavour” và the possible link to its lyrics. However, one thing is very clear. The director of this video clip had every detail planned out to lớn perfectly fit the Horror B-Movie style. The five girls are seen as a coven, dressed exactly the same in red garments & performing candle lit rituals throughout the course of the video. They seem to lớn have no fear of pain as they inflict multiple wounds on each other – notably with Irene cutting Seulgi’s cheek with a shaving blade without any panic or human reaction. Meanwhile, Yeri & Wendy play target practice on the other members as they once again appear oblivious to the sense of danger.
Why does their stoic nature matter in this theory? Simply due lớn the nguồn they seem to hold over each other and to people outside their Coven. They plan out what appears to be a sacrifice, even anticipating it with excitement – running through their trophy room of uniforms và Joy pining over a small house made of pizza và french fries. Again, the pizza may seem strange but it acts in multiple ways. The concept of the video as a whole follows the stereotypical American B-Movie; the clueless Pizza Boy who falls for what appears khổng lồ be a sorority but in fact is a band of supernatural creatures lớn prey on them for sustenance. Following that, the girls may not need traditional food whatsoever which can lead back to the Vampire theory or even the Succubus theory. Both Yeri and Joy seem lớn use their own wiles again the pizza delivery boy who returns khổng lồ the house frequently and partakes in their games, oblivious lớn the fact that they are preying on them.
However, there are a few things to lưu ý which was brought to lớn attention while making this breakdown. One Youtuber known as InternetsNathan has recently highlighted a few signs that there may be more khổng lồ this than a simple Coven and we couldn’t help but apply it to our theory too.

You may already noticed that we mentioned the girls dressed all in red but Wendy is instead dressed in tartan, differing herself from the other girls. In fact, when it comes to the delivery boy she has very little one-on-one involvement. Instead, it is the others who appear alone with him at multiple times. Furthermore, the members also attempt khổng lồ help him escape after multiple rituals but the only one who doesn’t run with the delivery boy is Wendy. Could she possibly be the leader of the Coven? It could explain the obvious differences within the group, but if that was the case she would appear in the centre frequently instead of Yeri. Maybe Yeri is more influenced due khổng lồ her role as the youngest and has more influence from Wendy, who may prefer lớn pull the strings discreetly & commands the other girls khổng lồ obey & lure him into the trap.
At the end of the video, we can also see the entire group’s power in full work as there appear to lớn be very little concern over the large number of delivery boys disappearing in the area. Posters are visible to show the growing body toàn thân count but there seems khổng lồ be no panic, no wide search. In fact, the number that is dialled by the delivery boy – which we could expect to lớn be the emergency services or any other size of help – appears khổng lồ be non-existent, which leaves him helpless as Red Velvet hunt him down and add him to lớn their collection. There could be suggestions that this was manipulated by them to ensure their tracks are covered & that their existence is never revealed as they continue the hunt once again.
Like many supernatural concepts, these music videos always generate a lot of discussion và multiple theories. In fact, that is what makes them so fun to lớn watch. We may never know the real story planned by SM Entertainment but what we can enjoy is another enchanting cinematic from the quirky quintet. “Peek-A-Boo” is a perfect blend of their signature pop sound và their sultry visuals, which gives their second full album the fitting name of “Perfect Velvet”. It may be a few weeks late for the spooks & scares of Halloween but this is a bewitching comeback that has got us under Red Velvet’s spell once again.
Red Velvet’s second full length album, “Perfect Velvet” is now available to download on iTunes, Google Play & to stream on Spotify.
