Psycho is here because it's GOOD. It didn't get shoved down your throat. It didn't get advertisements or promo. Psycho was released in the worst circumstances imaginable and went against all odds. She will forever remain iconic ☝️
I don't think some of you understand how insane this is. To perform such a complex choreography with no do-overs after almost 4 years of not performing it. Who does it like them, genuinely.
Pop quiz, who did it first:
Trainee system? SM
Kpop groups? SM
Photocards? SM
Photobook? SM
Season's greetings? SM

Joy is haunted by a death (she caused)
Wendy is haunted by her own death
Irene is haunted by the deceased
Yeri is haunted by denial
Seulgi is haunted by herself
Simple? Just taking a group picture is more simple than making this amount of refences and turning it into a cohesive, aesthetic piece of art. Cmon now.
Joy is stuck in a time loop:
- wakes up
- finds body (Wendy)
- Wendy dies inside a dream
- Joy wakes up again
- Joy goes downstairs
- camera zooms out on staircase instead of in = time reverses and the cycle repeats
4th gen has it easier than the generations before them because Kpop became more mainstream. So no, trying to compare achievements between early 3rd gen and 4th gen groups does not make for a fair comparison.
We always talk about how we will never see Red Velvet perform Wildside outside of Japan, but can we talk about how they don't even perform their perfectly fine Korean tt, RBB 😭
