When asked to choose between “Feel My Rhythm” and “Zimzalabim,” all five members unanimously picked FMR, even giggling as they made their decision. The lighthearted moment hasn’t settled well with their devoted followers, especially since “Zimzalabim” holds a special place in many ReVeluvs’ hearts.

“Zimzalabim” initially sparked mixed reactions due to its unique rhythm and unconventional structure, but it quickly became a sensation after Red Velvet’s energetic performances at their concerts. The song’s infectious beat and vibrant energy make it a perfect fit for live shows, creating unforgettable moments for concertgoers. It’s become a staple in their setlists, hyping up the crowd every time.

Perhaps due to the way it was initially received, fans have grown protective of “Zimzalabim.” They even often joke that the track is their “child.”

After watching the hilarious video, fans took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express their playful discontent with the group’s choice. Many pointed out that the girls’ opinions will change when it’s time to perform the tracks live again!
