- “It has a bossa nova feeling too, and it’s unbelievably good.”
- “Ah, I love it. So refreshing.”
- “Even with blue eyeshadow on their eyelids, it doesn’t look tacky. It has that end-of-the-century vibe, but it still looks beautiful.”
- “Wow, the song is so good. The previous song was good too, but it was slightly difficult to understand, so I didn’t end up listening to it much. This one has a high-quality, dreamy feeling while still being easy to listen to. More than anything, I think Red Velvet’s strong vocals are what elevate the quality of their songs.”
- “Wow, the song is seriously so good.”
Many fans also highlighted that “Surfin’ Boy” feels like a song that only Red Velvet could release, praising the group’s ability to create a distinct summer atmosphere while still maintaining their own identity.
With Velvet Summer, Red Velvet continues to show why they are considered one of K-pop’s best-ever acts, with “Surfin’ Boy” gaining attention as another memorable addition to their summer releases.
