ReVeluv, 'Surfin' Boy' has its first stage. The label in the title says as much, and it went out from Mnet K-pop at 19:43 KST on August 6, 2026 — the broadcaster's channel rather than the group's own.
It was the last of four stages the channel posted from episode 940 that evening, going up at 19:43 after A2O MAY, ARTMS and KISS OF LIFE earlier in the hour.
The stage runs 3 minutes and 17 seconds. The description gives the English rendering as 'Red Velvet - Surfin' Boy' and says M COUNTDOWN airs every Thursday at 6 PM KST, with full episodes on TVING.
As of this update the counter reads 422,533 views, 28,593 likes and 1,471 comments — the highest of the four stages from that episode by a wide margin. Nothing after episode 940 is dated in the post.
Context for International Fans
A first-broadcast label means the song had not been performed on that programme before, and it is the broadcaster applying it, not the label. Broadcaster uploads carry separate counts from artist uploads of the same stage.
Why It Matters
First-broadcast stages are the fixed points a promotion cycle is measured against, and the timestamp on this one puts 'Surfin' Boy' on the record to the minute. It also drew the largest count of the four stages the channel posted from that episode.
What to Watch Next
The description dates only the weekly slot: Thursdays at 6 PM KST. Every Red Velvet upload we log lands on the artist record page, timestamped to the minute and linked back to the official post.
