Red Velvet's Irene And Seulgi Announce Their Comeback With New EP TILT
Last Updated:
After the success of Monster, which topped various Korean and iTunes charts, the anticipation for TILT is extremely high.
Red Velvet's Irene and Seulgi are finally making a comeback. The duo recently announced their new EP, TILT, is going to be released on May 26. Irene and Seulgi will collaborate for this EP five years after their debut, Monster, was released in 2020. On Wednesday, their agency, SM Entertainment, announced that the new album will be available to stream from 6 PM KST across all streaming platforms. The agency also revealed that the EP will contain six songs, including the title track, TILT.
Each track in the album carries a strong message of breaking away from constraints and finding balance in moments of instability. After the massive success of Monster, which topped various Korean and iTunes charts, the anticipation for TILT is extremely high. Red Velvet's social media accounts posted a teaser following the announcement of Irene and Seulgi's new EP. The video features striking hues in a black, white, and red combination.
Both Irene and Seulgi debuted in 2014 with the K-pop group Red Velvet. Under SM Entertainment, Red Velvet initially had four members—Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, and Joy. Later in 2015, the group became a five-member group as they introduced Yeri. Their debut single, Happiness, was a massive hit, and since then they have released multiple chart-topping songs, including Psycho, Red Flavor, Feel My Rhythm, and others.
Red Velvet is known for their experimental take, as the 'red" side often focuses on electronic and funk music, whereas the 'velvet" side experiments with 90s R&B, ballads, and hip-hop.
In 2020, their agency, SM Entertainment, confirmed the group would be divided into sub-units. While Irene and Seulgi formed the first sub-unit, Wendy and Joy began their solo careers in 2021. Later in 2022, Seulgi debuted as a solo artist as she released her first EP, 28 Reasons. In 2024, Irene started her solo career with Like a Flower.
Following their second EP, the K-pop idols are set to go on their next tour, Balance, in June. The tour will begin with a two-day concert in Seoul. It will stopover at several cities, including Tokyo, Bangkok, Taipei, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur, among others.

'Jin has a crush on Wendy': Fans react to BTS member's shyness with Red Velvet star at solo concert
Jin kicked off his first-ever solo world tour with 2-day stops in South Korea's Goyang Auxiliary Stadium. On June 29, a special segment featured RED VELVET's Wendy joining the BTS member on stage and performing their song Heart On The Window. Besides their angelic voices, what amused fans even more were their interactions. Jin seemed extremely shy around Wendy, sparking various speculations. Wendy stuns at Jin's solo Goyang concert During day 2 of RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR, fans were pleasantly surprised by the appearance of Wendy on the concert stage. She and the BTS member delighted fans by performing Heart On The Window– their duet song from Jin's first solo album Happy. However, one particularly noticeable aspect of the act was how closer the RED VELVET member stood to Jin, as compared to their last year's act. Jin shyly addresses stage gap talks with Wendy Regarding Jin's November 2024 act with Wendy, he said, "Back when we performed together, there was talk that Wendy and I were standing too far apart." Wendy jovially replied that even the other BTS members could fit in between them. Jin revealed that the director was aware of the joke and made specific numbers on the stage to make them stand closer. While talking about it, Jin could hardly make eye contact with Wendy and kept giggling shyly. After she bid the fans goodbye and left, he couldn't seem to stop smiling and even sighed. These made fans speculate that "Jin has a crush on Wendy", even if it's a tiny one. He also said "ba-bye" to Wendy in "THE MOST BABY VOICE." Some even felt that his director or someone from the team knew about his admiration for Wendy. One X-user wrote, "Who was he looking at while sighing and smiling. His director? I feel like someone from his staff knows that he admires Wendy." Fans also noticed the stark contrast in his behavior around Yena, who appeared the previous day, as he seemed way more at ease. They also recalled Jin expressing his appreciation for Wendy's voice, and seeming similarly shy when he appeared on her radio show a few months back.
