Irene & Seulgi's ‘Cheetah’ teaser arrives after fans asked, ‘Where's the MV?’

Fans heard the music before getting the full music video. A newly shared teaser on Nov. 3 turns that waiting period into the story.

Theqoo linked a YouTube video titled ‘Red Velvet - IRENE & SEULGI Cheetah MV Teaser’ at 11:40 a.m. KST on Nov. 3. Full playback and uploader metadata could not be independently inspected, so no scenes or dialogue are invented.

The release sequence matters. The official Japanese announcement lists a September 14 digital prerelease and a November 4 physical mini-album date. That gap separated listening to the song from waiting for its visuals.

In a September Reddit thread, fans asked whether there would be an MV despite a November physical release; some discussed Japanese rollout norms. October comments on an MV still anticipated the video and referenced ‘Monster.’ These are past reactions, not Nov. 3 comments. The Korean repost showed zero comments when checked.

A schedule shaped around a Japanese physical release can look different from a familiar Korean pre-release teaser cycle. No unverified internal motives or claims of deliberate underpromotion are asserted.

Confirmed: the official September 14 prerelease and November 4 planned physical release; a teaser link on Nov. 3 at 11:40 a.m. KST; 91 views and zero comments on that Korean repost at the snapshot. YouTube metrics, full scenes and uploader identity were not directly checked.

The next chapter is the completed MV and documented reactions to its actual scenes; choreography and plot cannot be judged from an unplayed teaser.
