[DEBUT] Red Velvet - Happiness



UPDATE: SME took the video down, edited out the gross bits and reuploaded it.

I'm really hoping SME takes down this video to edit it. At around 33 seconds in, there is a collage of newspapers from WWII full of headlines and content about dropping the atomic bombs on Japan. Multiple ethnic slurs about Japanese people are clearly visible.

This is inexcusable and reprehensible as far as I'm concerned.

Later into the MV there are collaged images of buildings from the New York city-scape with stock images of billowing smoke behind and two toy airplanes. One can only hope that this is an unfortunate coincidence and not a reference to 9/11.

Take it down, SME! It's not fair to these girls to have their debut tainted by your lack of quality control and insensitivity!

Red Velvet is SME's brand new girl group. Considering that f(x) cancelled the rest of their comeback promotions and Sulli is possibly leaving the group... Red Velvet seems to be replacing them. We'll see what happens.
