K-Pop Hitmaker Names The TWICE Hit That Was Actually Made For Red Velvet

Rado reveals TWICE’s “Like OOH-AHH” was originally for Red Velvet

Producer and songwriter Rado (Song Joo Young) dropped a bombshell about TWICE’s debut hit “Like OOH-AHH.” The Black Eyed Pilseung member revealed the track was first offered to Red Velvet.

On the YouTube channel Sangsudong Jageobsir, Rado explained the smash song was pitched to SM Entertainment’s girl group, but eventually landed with JYP’s TWICE. The track became an iconic debut anthem for TWICE instead.

Netizens reacted strongly to the news. Some wondered how the song would have sounded with Red Velvet’s style. Others felt the track never suited Red Velvet in the first place.

“It really doesn’t suit them. It was a good decision to give it to TWICE.”

“But it suits TWICE better. It kind of feels like a big group song.”
— Netizen, Instiz

“Wow but I’m curious how it would’ve sounded if it had gone to Red Velvet.”
— Netizen, Instiz

“It’s not that it doesn’t suit Red Velvet, but it feels like it was made for TWICE. It was a TWICE song from the start, so of course it fits them perfectly, honestly.”
