The cheery holiday track carries an uplifting message: that with a change in perspective, perceived flaws can transform into strengths that blaze new trails for others to follow.
K-pop’s first deaf idol group, Big Ocean, will release their first Christmas single, RED-DY SET GO on November 23. Inspired by Robert L. May’s 1939 character, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, RED-DY SET GO is a joyful anthem that reminds us that something that once felt like a flaw can become a guiding light in the world.
Big Ocean is redefining K-pop through their singular approach to music and performance: singing in sign language, incorporating assistive technologies into their recording process, and creating an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere at their concerts. Their message of difference as identity and vulnerability as strength has resonated with fans and audiences across the globe. In 2025, Big Ocean was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia, further highlighting their impact and growing global presence. Through RED-DY SET GO, Big Ocean continues their mission to empower listeners — especially those who have faced loneliness or doubt — with a story of courage, warmth, and self-acceptance.
Musically, RED-DY SET GO is a cheerful, rhythm-driven Christmas carol with an energetic hook and festive bounce. While the melody lifts the holiday spirit, the lyrics tell a poignant story of a small deer who once hid in the dark learning to embrace its glow and fly without fear.
“This song is a reminder that everyone has a glow — even when the world says otherwise,” Big Ocean shared. “We hope ‘RED-DY SET GO’ becomes a warm companion for anyone enduring their own winter. Wherever we go, together we glow.”
Big Ocean will cap off a successful 2025 with HEARTSIGN, a performance at Bataclan in Paris on December 7th.
RED-DY SET GO will be available on all major streaming platforms worldwide on November 23.
