The choreography took inspiration from Marvel's "Scarlet Witch" and a lot of details were incorporated into the choreography to get that point across. What an impressive piece of pop culture crossover.
#SEULGI of K-POP group ‘Red Velvet’ says the #ScarletWitch was an inspiration for her “28 Reasons” performance!

“The choreography was inspired from Wanda, so there is a lot of flashy handwork. The dancers & I tried to make our moves kind of grotesque & there are parts where it looks like I'm controlling them.”
