This free concert's purpose was to comfort everyone from fighting against the pandemic, corona virus. A lot of their prominent artists performed such as Kangta, TVXQ, Super Junior, Girl's Generation Taeyeon, Shinee's Taemin, Exo's Kai and Baekhyun and a lot new artists, but the highlight of this event was definitely Red Velvet's comeback on stage as 5 members!

This concert was an emotional event for all of us Reveluvs, to be able to see our idols complete on stage, after 1 whole year. Irene was there after controversy and Wendy was back healthy, stronger and more charismatic than ever before. The completeness of this groups was everything we could ask for. They are back stronger and happier, cherishing every moments because it was their first time ever again to be back as 5 on stage. Although they weren't able to see the fans up close and personal, I'm sure they were as joyful as us fans to be part of SMTOWN Live and welcome the comeback of Wendy after a long hiatus. 

Red Velvet Won Two Trophies from the Asian Pop Music Awards 2020

Despite the long hiatus that Red Velvet took as a group the entire year of 2020, their hit song Psycho continue to receive numerous recognitions. If we are to recall, Psycho was released December of 2019 and has no promotions at all, yet it's still one of kpop songs today that stayed relevant after releases from different groups and soloists. Psycho is definitely a song of the year material!

Here are the awards Red Velvet got from Asian Pop Music Awards 2020 in China:

Red Velvet's Psycho MV Surpassed 200 Million Views On Youtube

On November 17, Red Velvet's Psycho MV has surpassed 200 Million views! It's the group's fastest MV to reach this milestone. Psycho was the title track of their album The Reve Festival: Finale and it was released December last year. As of writing, Psycho becomes their 2nd MV to reach 200 Million views on youtube after Bad Boy. For comparison, Bad Boy reached 200 million views after 1 year and 2 months from the date of its release while Psycho reached that number in a span of only 10 months and 24 days.

Despite the lack of promotions due to Wendy's accident in SBS, Psycho still becomes one of Red Velvet's biggest hits, winning 9 times in music shows and a triple crown. 

Wendy Wrote Heartfelt Letters For Her Members On Their Last Episode of Bu:QUEST

On the last episode of LG U+'s IDOL Live app show, Bu:Quest, the four members of Red Velvet received heartfelt letters from Wendy who wasn't able to participate in the show due to her on-going recovery. The members were seen with bright expressions on their faces while reading Wendy's letter but we could all sense how much they missed doing promotions and shows together as five that it's not hard to see through their smiles. 

The letters were handwritten and each card represents the color and animal character of each members. Wendy's words were full of love and appreciation towards each of them that it left everyone touched, Seulgi was even moved to tears because of it.

Wendy's letter for Joy:

"Our soft-hearted charming Sooyoung-ie. Although you are soft-hearted, when you are on stage, and when you are in front of the camera, you are much more confident and cooler than anyone else. I'm your fan, as well as your friend and member, you know that, right? No matter what you do, I'll be cheering on you by your side. Let's always be healthy and happy."

5 Tear Inducing Moments Of IRENE Expressing Her Love For Fellow Red Velvet Members

We have all seen and heard how Red Velvet members love each other as some of them are expressive about it, our leader Irene is not an exception to that. Despite sporting a firm demeanor in her individual projects and other public events, once she's with her Red Velvet members and Reveluvs, her soft side always comes out. As a person that shows her love mostly by actions, there are still a few moments wherein Irene expressed her genuine feelings towards her members through words. Here, let us show you some of those tear inducing events:

1. During an interview for KBS Song Festival in 2017, Irene was asked by the interviewer on who is the most memorable person for her at that time, she answered with certainty:

"My members. Even without saying anything special, them just always being by my side gave me lots of strength."

5 Proofs That Irene Of Red Velvet Is A Warm Hearted Person

Let's all look back to Irene's good deeds amidst all these negative happenings recently. There are a lot of good things to talk about Irene as a person and hopefully it will help people to refresh their minds and think twice in posting malicious comments about her. 

Her mistake has been acknowledged and Irene already apologized for it. Let's not make one mistake overshadow all of the good things she has done in the entertainment industry, for the people of South Korea and to her loved ones (friends, family, and fans).

So here are some proofs why Red Velvet's Irene is a warm hearted person:

I Trust Irene And Will Continue To Support Her

I really want to stay silent about this controversy that Irene's currently in but people using this opportunity to bring her down just doesn't sit right with me. People are scary, they declare that they are her fans for a long time but will throw her away in an instant with just one mistake. A mistake that any person could make, it's just that this became a big deal because Irene's work is being a celebrity, a popular one. People immediately judged her without even knowing her side. Shouldn't they consider and understand first her side? But hey, Irene didn't bother to state anything to defend herself anymore probably because she already knew the cruel fact that people only listen to what they want to hear and only believe what they want to believe in. She just took this issue maturely and straight to the point by apologizing to that stylist personally and even through public apology on her instagram, without stating what actually happened or why she behaved that way because in the end she knew that she hurt someone's feelings and that there's no excuse to that. Irene accepts it and will learn from it. We know nothing and yet people chose to embody a perfect righteous human being and continue to criticize her for what a stylist, that she only worked with recently, posted on social media. Gosh. This is insane, right?!

Start-Up OST by Red Velvet Entitled "Future" Is Finally Out!!

This is it reveluvs! A new song from our beloved 5 member group, Red Velvet. As of writing, the OST song for Start-Up called 'Future' is now available in youtube and spotify! 

I've been waiting for this for the whole day, I said I wanted to write something here in the blog before the OST release, but I just can't. My mind is only set for Red Velvet's newest song and I am so joyful that it's finally out. 

Whew! I've missed their voices together for a new song, and finally we're being fed with it after so long. Wendy's voice made me want to scream and ugly cry at the same time the moment she sang the first verse. Damn! I'm such a softie for Wan and as expected of her, she did an excellent job and I'm such a mess right now because I miss her so much. 

Irene and Yeri's voices really are improving so much, I'm so impressed! Their voices are so lovely! Can I just pinpoint also that Irene FINALLY got justifiable amount of lines? OMG I am so proud of her, she deserved it! Finally everyone could hear her beautiful voice. Seulgi on the other hand, is still having that crisp in her voice, the clarity. I so love it! And of course, the sweet voice of Joy is just melting my heart too much. Wendy opened the song and Joy ended it, oh my wenjoy heart it's finally beating again. 💙💚

In the end they all did an amazing job. The uniqueness of their tones standout individually but they all sound great together as well! Only Red Velvet pulls that for me! Ahh! They are so talented, each one of them! 

Red Velvet Will Sing For Bae Suzy's Drama Start-Up

Red Velvet and Bae Suzy's paths will cross again in a drama! It was reported that Red Velvet will sing an OST for Start-Up and it will be released on the same day as well.

The OST will come out this October 17, 6pm KST while the drama itself will air 9pm KST.

If you could still remember, Red Velvet once sang an OST for Suzy's drama before too. It's called 'Dont Push Me' by Red Velvet's Wendy and Seulgi for the drama 'Uncontrollably Fond' (2016). 

I know that it's all just a coincidence but I'd love to think that Suzy and Red Velvet are just meant to be. Lol Our actress Bae Suzy and Red Velvet as our OST singers, what a tandem right? Nation's First Love and Nation's Girl group! What a match!! 

Being A Reveluv Is Tough

It's already this time of the year! It's Christmas season and the only song I wanted to listen to is Wendy's 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas'. 

Actually, now that Red Velvet is in my life, I've always made it a habit to listen to them at least once a day. I think there isn't really a day that I did not listen to them, by group or by their individual songs. I just really love their songs. Good thing is that they have a very wide-ranged discography with different concepts used that I find myself not getting tired with. At least I could say that for now. It's December last year when I came across Red Velvet with their Psycho song so it'll be our 1st anniversary together this year. lol It'll become my first year in stanning them! Yay! 

I know that I'm still considered as new within the fandom but I think nobody would blame me if I state that being a Reveluv right now is very tough. I haven't experienced a full comeback yet from the group so it's kind of hard to stick around just waiting for a looong span of time. You know, the feeling of going crazy already just because there aren't enough new contents to satisfy your cravings? That's how I felt the entire time. It's true that I&S unit debuted this year but, is it wrong for me to wish for a full comeback? I mean 3 comebacks for the Reve Festival Trilogy last year to one sub-unit comeback and a song cover this year? In the end, this is all because of SBS and SM's fault. Ugh.

Irene Of Red Velvet Is Indeed The Original Visual

When we first heard that 'original visual' line from Irene in their song Psycho, we all know that she wasn't lying. No one can deny how beautiful Red Velvet's leader really is and I think that her beauty could still strongly contend with other female idols throughout different generations. 

I honestly think that her beauty is really top tier, and I'm no longer surprised whenever I see her name every poll or survey that lists her name when it's about people that possesses gorgeous faces.

Irene, aside from being in Red Velvet, is also popular in being a brand ambassador for prestige beauty products, fashion and even alcoholic products. Irene is currently the muse for Prada, Damiani and Clinique. She was the muse of Chamisul soju year 2019 and this product became known globally as well. Every brand that she endorses experienced that 'Irene Effect', meaning they all became successful in increasing their product sales. I would like to hire Irene too to endorse my products if ever I'll be in business someday. Ha! I wonder how much that would cost though. w

All photoshoots/images of Irene are very pretty. Sometimes I just wanted to cry or turn my eyes away from her whenever I can 'coz her beauty effect is really intense. Even in her casual photos that she posts on her instagram and lysn, they are all gorgeous! It feels like you are being hypnotized just by looking at her. Therefore, look at her at your own risk. haha!

Here, let me share to you my favorite photos of her. There are A LOT! It would take me endless blog entries to publish just to cater all of them so, I'm just gonna share a few. These photos are enough proof how beautiful she really is no matter what angle.
