If you’ve been a Red Velvet fan for any length of time, you know that “Russian Roulette” isn’t just a song—it’s a core memory. The track that dominated 2016 K-pop with its quirky choreography and addictive hook is back in the spotlight, and this time, it’s the members themselves serving up the nostalgia.

On Feb. 3, Red Velvet posted a TikTok that sent ReVeluvs into an emotional spiral. The video features Irene, Seulgi, and Joy each performing the iconic “Russian Roulette” choreography—complete with all those cute hand gestures and silly robotic arm movements that made the dance so memorable in the first place. The caption? “#2016 Russian Roulette but it’s 2026.”
