SEULGI and IRENE of the group RED VELVET will form the first unit of the group and will appear in front of the fans with a new look.
IRENE and SEULGI are preparing for albums in unity, according to their agency SM Entertainment. This is the first RED VELVET unit in around six years, since their inception in August 2014.
For these two members, nothing is lacking, be it visual, dance or song. SEULGI and IRENE are the main dancers and singers of the group respectively. In addition to their dance skills, both members have clear tones and a solid voice.
The reason why the combination of the two is most anticipated is that they were already shown this unit six years ago. Before their debut, they worked as SM Rookies, the pre-debut group of SM Entertainment, in unit SG14G. At that time, the two reinterpreted “Be natural” from their S.E.S. drawing attention to their powerful and sensual performances.
Above all, the music that the unity formed by SEULGI and IRENE will reveal raises many questions. Since its debut, RED VELVET has alternately presented two concepts: “Red” with vibrant charm and “Velvet” with soft charm. Thanks to this, RED VELVET also proved its broad musical spectrum with a variety of attempts, ranging from “Red Flavor“, which stimulated public awareness, to “Zimzalabim“, who had a strong personality.
The SM Entertainment promotion schedule is also awaited. Before RED VELVET, the Girl’s Generation had a success as a unit called TTS. TTS, a combination of Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun, being appreciated for its different charm compared to Gir’ls Generation, because the three members presented both femininity and power. SEULGI and IRENE should also be able to show RED VELVET and other new synergies.
Even if the name of the unit is not yet known, fans are already showing enthusiastic responses. A YouTube video of “Be natural” by SR14G Seulgi & Irene, published in 2014, was bombarded with comments expressing expectations for unity. Attention is focused on the type of chemistry that the two members can present to convince the hearts of fans and the public.
