Red Velvet - IRENE & SEULGI 'Cheetah' MV

The Korean context

What happened

“Cheetah” is the title track from Irene and Seulgi’s five-track first Japanese mini album, despite its largely Korean lyrics.

More context

Why Koreans care

The narrator rejects 애매한 밀당 (aemaehan mildang, ambiguous romantic push-and-pull): instead of prolonging flirtation, she demands an immediate “Yes or No” and warns that this is the other person’s last chance.

In the Korean comments

Two comments offer sharply different ways to watch the production. One reads, in translation, “The song and the women are perfect, but the MV itself is seriously bargain-basement—I’d rather they had given us a dance video.” Another connects the video to concept photos involving genetic modification and restricted areas, and says its apparent psychosis-like, dream framing is fascinating; that interpretation belongs to the commenter, not the official description.

What the words mean

밀당 (mildang) literally compresses “push” and “pull.” In casual dating language, it means strategically alternating interest and distance; here, 애매한 밀당 (aemaehan mildang, ambiguous push-and-pull) is precisely what the narrator refuses to tolerate.

The song and the girls are perfect, but the MV is seriously the very definition of low-budget. They should’ve just given us a dance videoㅠ

@@지***256

They’re actually the longest-running active SM girl-group unit, so please spend some money on the MV

Everyone who supports and loves Irene and Seulgi 👋🩷💛
