In the video, Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun and Geonho show natural chemistry against backdrops such as long-established shops and arcades that retain Korea's unique atmosphere. Geonho, who transforms into a part-timer wearing a floral apron at a charcoal-grilled meat restaurant, and the members enjoying a meal there offer a sense of familiarity as if peeking into real daily life. In addition, dynamic scenes of enjoying basketball and air hockey and small moments of choosing secondhand clothes, combined with a variety of editing techniques, complete a mood like a youth film. In particular, the unique camera angle that borrows the point of view of samgyeopsal and the cut editing that skillfully controls tempo add original fun to the video, and the cookie video featuring an unaccompanied spontaneous dance fully conveys the cheerful atmosphere on set.
This time, the members again listed themselves as co-directors of the music video, showcasing their capabilities as artists. Before the main shoot, guide videos planned and filmed by the members themselves formed the foundation of the overall structure, and they infused their own ideas throughout the video by communicating closely with the production team they have worked with since debut.
The title track "REDRED" contains Cortis's firm message to turn on a red light (RED) for behaviors such as "watching others' reactions" or "pretending to be cool," and to turn on a green light for having one's own judgment and going beyond limits. All members participated in writing and composing, producing a highly addictive melody and distinctive lyrics that increased the song's completeness.
