Red Velvet’s “Cosmic” MV is a “Blatant Copy” of “Midsommar”, Said Netizens

On June 24, a topic about the similarity of Red Velvet’s “Cosmic” MV and the movie “Midsommar” was published on the Korean forum ‘theqoo’, drawing significant attention with over 600 comments. 

While it is stated in the MV that it is inspired by “Midsommar”, many netizens believe that the similarities doesn’t just stop at “inspiration”, but are a total replication of various elements from the movies. 

As a result, many believe that Red Velvet’s “Cosmic” MV is “too influenced” by Midsommar, to the point it’s a full copy. 

Below are some comments from netizens: 

• It needs to be modified a little bit, but it seems like it’s more like a copy-pasted version of the movie.
• It’s just Midsommar… Why can’t they show some creativity…
• This is just a Midsommar cosplay. Whose idea was this?
• No, this is not influence, it’s just blatant copying.
• This isn’t an homage, it’s just copy-pasting. If you call it an homage, you’re losing your conscience.
• It’s a shame because the song is really good. The inspired scenes don’t seem to go well with the song, so why did they add something like that?
