Perfect Velvet was nominated for “Album Division Main Award” at Golden Disc Awards and “Best Pop Album” at the Korean Music Awards but did not win either award. The album was the fifth best-selling album of November on the Gaon Monthly Albums Chart. Red Velvet did, however, get to perform the track at numerous end-of-the-year award shows, including the Mnet Asian Music Awards and Melon Music Awards. The track was nominated for “Song of the Month (November 2017)” at the Gaon Chart Music Awards but did not win. It was Red Velvet’s third single in 2017 to enter the top five on the Gaon charts and their eighth overall Top 10 hit.

2 on the Gaon Weekly Songs Chart and at No. “Peek-A-Boo” received two music show wins, both from Inkigayo on Decemand January 14, 2018. Red Velvet transitioned from their bright and bubbly image seen in their previous two singles “Rookie” and “Red Flavor” to a darker and more mature sound in “Peek-A-Boo” and it definitely paid off as this was the first time since their debut that the softer, more mature “velvet” side was received favorably by the general public. Lyrically, the track compares a new romantic relationship to a children’s game, so it’s interesting that Red Velvet went with kidnap, rituals, and homicide for the music video. The video closes with Irene climbing out of the passenger’s seat of his car as a dial tone rings, fading to black before showing the boy’s pizza delivery shirt in a glass case. The current pizza boy manages to escape as we’re treated to the opening scene once more however, we now get to see that he’s unable to get the call to go through. The video is seductive and dark, with the girls luring pizza delivery boys to their house and then poisoning them, using the boys for mysterious rituals. We then cut to the house during the day, the song finally starting as the door opens to the girls playing dead in the entryway. Funnily enough, viewers get to see that the payphone has a flyer about missing delivery boys on the side of it, but this goes missed by the delivery boy. Filmed in a 100-year-old home in Los Angeles, CA, the video opens with the girls standing on the porch at night, with Yeri holding a small crossbow, before cutting to a pizza delivery boy urgently trying to make a call on a payphone nearby. The Music Videoįor fans of B-grade horror movies, the music video for “Peek-A-Boo” is a treat. While the album is centered around their “velvet” concept, “Peek-A-Boo” is a dance-pop track that beautifully blends the “red” and “velvet” concepts, showcasing the members’ vocals in a new way.

On November 17, 2017, Red Velvet released Perfect Velvet, their first full-length album since 2015’s The Red, and the music video for title-track “Peek-A-Boo.” The album focuses on the “velvet” side of their concept and contains nine new songs from the girls, featuring pop, hip-hop, R&B, and soul while also experimenting with disco and dance.
