Ok seeing this chapter title you're probably thinking, "what the fuck are you okay—" Or "Can I join?!"
Answers are no; I was never okay to begin with and no you can't join the cult unfortunately (well you can but you can't, I'll get to that later)
If you haven't heard, Red Velvet is a K-Pop group that produces music.
Normal right?
Until you watch the music videos.
And read the translated lyrics.
In pretty much every MV (music video) they have, there is pretty much always this one shot of them sitting around a table or something staring into the camera.

CAUSE THAT ISNT SCARY AT ALL.
Oh yeah and the concepts for the MV's are........interesting. (Get ready for the sarcasm)
In this one, they kill the pizza delivery guy!! Probably one of 20, as we see in the mv there are posters up for missing pizza delivery guys around the town. It's called Peek-A-Boo because they are chasing him around the house trying to kill him. And these lyrics are just.... "Tag, you're it! It'll be fun, I'll include you here (Peek-Peek-A-Peek-A-Boo) Till the moon hangs on the jungle gym Let's play (Peek-Peek-A-Peek-A-Boo)"
In this one, they try and kill each other!! For no apparent reason. You know, just casually killing all my friends, besties for life! Literally the first scene is Wendy setting Selugi on fire.
And the translated lyrics are just downright terrifying:
"Surrounded by a sharp secret Behind a veil Deeper and deeper, h-h-hush Aiming for your heart now This place is the color of a dark night Even the shadows get lost
Oh you're always like, love is game You say it's light and easily enjoyed Why do you keep saying these bad things Trying to avoid me?
Growing heart b-b-beat It's getting faster Not like you, heart b-b-b-beat Whenever you see me Till the very last moment It comes closer and closer, crazy The risky aim, Russian Roulette Ah-Ah-Ah-Yeah La-La-La-La-La– Heart B-B-B-Beat Until the very last moment You'll have to trust me I'm your sweet Russian Roulette
A dazzling secret You can't turn away from it anymore I'll p-p-push your button Accept it now So your heart can be filled with me You'll look for me even when you're dreaming
Oh you still say, love is game You tell me but your voice is shaking Past the playful eyes I see you, not knowing what to do
You never had this deep of a dream before My heart and this night makes this game flicker You can't control"
Yeah so, Red Velvet may or may not be trying to murder you.
The song itself though... is almost bubblegum pop which is not a genre you expect creepy cult songs to come out of. But I'm not complaining.
In conclusion, we stan.

(And the whole Zimzalabim theory which goes even deeper into the cult thing........ i might post it later. I did warn you guys this would be a rant book)
