Music video
[edit]Although sung by all members of Red Velvet except Joy, the music video for "Would U" only featured Irene as a model. She was accompanied by actor Kim Min Jae in the music video of the song. In the video, Irene hides in a flower garden and steals actor Kim Min-jae, who shows off her spring-day performance. As Kim Min-jae walked through the garden, Irene was shy as she hidden herself in a flower garden. Irene then opened a gift box in the middle of the garden with the phrase 'Come to the secret flower garden'. This is the scene that follows the first teaser video when Irene discovered the phrase 'go to the jungle'.[6]
