"Lee Soo Man told us to kill it now, so we killed (Black Mamba) with his permission."
Regarding how they shoot the MV through the green screen, DJ Gikwang then asked the "Savage" singers if it was difficult to act with an object without seeing it (pretending that there is an object). With this, Giselle stated:
"We've been doing this concept since our debut, so we've gotten used to it."

"There are only strong (electric) fans during the fighting scene or the subway scene, so we shake our bodies or the camera director shakes the camera. The music video results are okay, but I'm so embarrassed when I see the behind-the-scenes."

"I've been sticking to the style without bangs, but I've had full bangs (in the MV/teasers). I put on a wig, but when I watch the music video, the bangs sometimes flips up. I hope you don't watch it in slow motion."
