I don't care about the haters but this song is a national treasure, yes including the autotune lol. This was peak 2nd gen kpop. This song was at the forefront of the Hallyu (Korean wave) in Asia. I was there when this was released and we went crazy! Everybody knows the dance doesn't matter if you stan SHINee or not. Cliche and maybe overused but you really can't claim to know k-pop if you don't know RDD. And not only did it became the top banned song in Korea during exam season, its lyrics even made it into the National Hangeul Museum in Seoul in an exhibition that aims to "rediscover the beauty of the Korean language' as one of the most beloved pop songs in Korea' history. Simply iconic. XD
Also, I have yet to see a song that can unite different fandoms to scream along when this is played at multi artists' concerts. th-cam.com/video/B6iZMc76c1w/w-d-xo.html
This song will never go away. We will be Ring Ding Donging forever.
This song came at the same time as Super junior's Sorry Sorry, I was boping all year long. It was banned from schools. This song was iconic. Even soldiers were dancing to this...
One of my favorite hobbies in life is watching babywols and non-Shawols experience Ring Ding Dong for the first time 😂♥️ Absolute masterpiece lmaoo
Check it live... Jonghyun's voice at the beginning... Amazing.
All rise for the National Anthem of Kpop! (apparently, it's *still* banned in South Korea during exams week) 😎 And yes, this is probably the video where the hairstylists just went completely rogue on our boys, especially Minho. 🤣🤣🤣Another thing not often mentioned about this video is that each member seemingly "controls" a certain aspect/element: Minho - Air (the butterfly in the bottle), Jonghyun - Fire (he lights the candles), Onew - Time (look at the clock), Key - Space (his reflection stays when he moves), Taemin - erm... Milk? (after 11 years, I still haven't figured out that part yet!) 🤭🤭
Ring Ding Dong live is amazing without the autotune. Some of my favourite version is from SWC5 where they did RDD and Lucifer back to back. And also RDD (rock version) from SWC 2
3 years ago i watched this mv by coincidence and i fall in love with the cute one saying he is a "bad boy?" Lol
This song is a cast-iron banger and nobody can ever tell me otherwise.
Fun fact, in South Korea this song is banned during exam season because it's too catchy and gets stuck in students heads and they can't focus 😂😂
Hai Torsie ..i see SHINee i click and give it thumbs up
this song belongs on everyone's "party like it's 2009" playlist, along with songs like kesha's tik tok and the black eyed peas boom boom pow. i honestly forgot how strong that autotune is on the studio version though because i've only watched live versions recently, but yeah... kings of 2009 🙌 did you know the album is literally called "2009, Year Of Us (Y.O.U.)"? they knew they were on top of this WHOOOLE era of music 😂
I shall “Ring Ding Dong” till the end of my damn days!
I enjoyed the video but watching it LIVE is EPIC!!!
You really need to watch the 'live performance' AND 'rock version live performance' (with the added lyrics of 'Ring my Bell'😳😆) of RDD in order to fully appreciate it's glory...
How I interpret the story in SHINee's "Ring Ding Dong" is, the song is about a sort of love at first sight and thoughts of that person keep ringing through your head, so much so that you start to become obsessed with them. It's more than just protecting the girl or your love, but it's about wanting to have her all to yourself and not allowing anyone else to come between you, etc. (As the English part of the lyrics says, "Fantastic, elastic ..." because thoughts of that person are constantly bouncing around in your head.)
In the story in the MV: If you notice, at one point, you see all the members dressed in white and they are standing in an all white room looking into the mirror. However, the image they see in the mirror is not their reflection, but what seems to be their alter ego or inner self because you see their mirror images with brooding expressions and they have wings. But their wings are not white like an angel who is pure and good, they are grey like angels of darkness. So, maybe this is showing how their thoughts are not a pure and innocent love, but one of passion and possession, etc. You see them in the white room with the white clothes because I see that as showing how they are hiding their true selves -- on the outside people think they look innocent and pure, but once you get to know them they have far less pure intentions. When in their black and red outfits this is more their true selves. The only explanation I can see as to why they are shown lighting the candles without even touching them is a way to make it clear that they are different then what they seem and they may have "magical powers" that can be used to attract the girl and make her theirs, etc.
I interpret the butterfly they talk about in the lyrics, and the one you see them with in the MV, to represent the girl and how she is beautiful, and fragel and flits around in their life attracting them and distracting them, etc and they want to capture her and make her theirs.
Beyond that, I don't really have an explanation of anything else that is happening in the MV. Most of it I interpret as just part of the aesthetic of what was the new cool think and what they were doing with MVs in 2009. The boys' hair and clothing styles and the aesthetic of the MV was supposed to give them more of a bad boy image, to sort of contrast the fact that when they debuted with "Replay" they had a boy next door image and they were given the title as the nation's younger boyfriends -- people had a pure and wholesome image of them -- so they wanted to show that as SM's experimental boy group, people should never expect them to stay the same. SHINee will forever be changing up their image to show many different sides of themselves and all different styles of music and dance. "Ring Ding Dong" was showing a new side of SHINee. This was only SHINee's second comeback after debut, so it established their role as the ever changing and evolving group that was expected to keep setting trends and coming up with new concepts, styles and sounds.
Fun Fact: Minho's long hair and Jonghyun's "Lion" hairstyle in "Ring Ding Dong" is such an iconic look. But Minho always hated this hairstyle, LOL. He has never liked having long hair. He begged SM to allow him to cut his hair and it took a few weeks before they would let him do it. They made him wait until they were done promoting for this album because their hairstyles were part of the album's concept. And therefore, Minho has refused to ever grow his hair out again. ;P Also, almost all of SM's boy groups had similar hairstyles during this time period. :D Take a look at Super Junior or TVXQ in 2009. Their hair looked like this too. hehehe. This was just sort of the look for Korean entertainers back in the day. SHINee were setting tends even with their hair.
As you discovered, "Ring Ding Dong," is one of SHINee's most popular songs. This is totally the look and sound that was just becoming the new it thing back then.
As others may have mentioned, "Ring Ding Dong" is such an iconic song and it's so catchy that it has been said that in Korea this song is banned from being played anywhere or listened to during college entrance exam time. When it first came out students complained that the song would get stuck in their heads and they couldn't concentrate on their studies or on the test. :D
This is also one of SHINee's Iconic choreographies and it is one of the dances that every rookie group in the industry, both boy groups and girl groups, are required to learn and know, and most have covered the song and dance at least once in their career even still today.
If you want to hear the song without the auto tune then you need to hear them perform it live in concert. Try their live MBC music festival performance of "Ring Ding Dong" in 2016, th-cam.com/video/_lYurocLpi8/w-d-xo.html. You will see how SHINee has grown. This song is part of the era when auto tune was brand new and it was the new cool thing that everyone was using in their new songs.SHINee was ahead of their time when this song came out and it blew people away for its sound and style, which many had never heard before. :D
ahahaha RDD time! RDD supremacy!
honestly this song is classic that even Key and Minho ended up performing~ it during their enlistment. you have to look it up ;)
The fashion can be seen in the KPOP to this day. Timeless. Kings of fashion, singing and dancing since 2008. Everything's timeless.
Okey, the hair. I would laugh if they celebrate their comeback soon.
In memory of Jonghyun. 🌹
Your reaction is exactly the same reaction I had when I first saw this in 2009. Like I was coming from Replay and Love Like Oxygen and I'm like, whaaat the hell is this and what are those hairstyles?? Hahaha
Ring Ding Dong+Lucifer ( Remix) live performance is amazing.
Everything about this MV sends: the hair, the feathers, Taemin drinking milk, the incessant mouth wiping that was such a thing in 2nd gen, Onew looking like he wants to sell us some watches when he opens his jacket at 4:04...this song was peak cringe for me when I discovered SHINee in 2010 but I've weirdly developed so much affection for it. It might just be the nostalgia speaking but I fully admit I was wrong. It's a banger.
Oh yes, everytime I watch this I try to count the lip wipes of "badboyness" but I lose count.
I agree with you, the one thing that makes Ring Ding Dong not "SHINee" is the autotune. They only use it sparingly live so it's not the whole song like it is with the MV so it sounds so much better. Unfortunately the only lives of it I can find is the music shows and then once for their SWC5 but it's a video with Lucifer performed as well. th-cam.com/video/mtFK7FxKdLs/w-d-xo.html
I just... I can't... I just... hahahhha... The Hair!!!! yes the hair... Key.... and then... Minho.... and and and... i dunno what to say.... 😂😂😂😂😂
Seriously!! 😂😂😂😂
@@Tors1e I'm lost for words... and I was laughing at your initial reaction when you said "Minho!!!"
Also for your comment “what’s with the auto tune?” This was released back when that was like the big fad for what people were doing in music, especially in kpop lol
I'm sorry but Torsie you did this to yourself (and me, once again). You will go on with your life with no worry in the world and then in the middle of the night when you're trying to get to sleep, your brain will suddenly, randomly go "....fantastic fantastic, ellastic elastic, elastic, elastic, RING ding dong ring ding dong, digi ding ding ding...." and it will not stop for several days. So be prepared.. :P
5hinee as always 😍💎
I feel the exact same way about Ring Ding Dong. It's very of its time and while I appreciate what the song did for SHINee's career trajectory, it's probably one of the title tracks I go back to the least. If you want to hear it being sung live, I recommend this video: "SHINee - Ring Ding Dong + Lucifer SWC5". It is one of their most energetic concert performances imo. I would love to see you react to it! (Btw this is my first time commenting but I really enjoy your reactions - you bring me so much personality, warmth and intelligence to every single video and your fangirling for Taemin is the most relatable thing ever!)
I will ring ding dong myself to death if I have to but I’ll never stop listening to this song
I just had to say that
Oh yes you need to watch the RDD +lucifer live :)
Your face when you saw how they look. lol! I live watching these reactions from you.
I love hearing this without the autotune, there's one from their I'm Your Boy concert that you may want to check too- th-cam.com/video/PyOzuRpsxQw/w-d-xo.html. And there's one with the Lucifer remix as well from SWC5.
This song was banned during exam period in Korea because it's so addicting students can't concentrate. The repetitive ring and ding and dong. Lol! I remember when I was buying a rare SHINee merch and the seller would give the item to the one who could answer the question as to how many dings are in this song. I got dizzy counting.
"What is happening????" HAHAHA.
I don't care about the auto tune. This song and mv is amazing.
You are holding it pretty Well together. I screamed and lol’d 😂🥳
you should Their without autotune live performance. please react to “ring ding dong+lucifer”(remix)
ah yes, the ultimate ear worm.
MINHO 😍
There's this too! th-cam.com/video/PZo210I_jv0/w-d-xo.html And just for perspective, Minho enlisted with the Marines Airborne Unit - paratroopers who can fearlessly jump out of a plane - and knock the heck out of the Ring Ding Dong choreo 😆😆😆
Remember Crazy Frog?…😉
