It’s official—Red Velvet’s Irene and Seulgi are finally making their long-awaited return as a unit! The comeback will be their first since their debut in 2020!
Irene and Seulgi Confirmed for Unit Comeback
On April 11, SM Entertainment confirmed exciting reports that the powerful duo is gearing up for their first-ever unit comeback in nearly five years. According to the agency, “Red Velvet – Irene & Seulgi are preparing a new mini album, with the goal of a release in May. Please look forward to it.”
This marks Irene & Seulgi’s first comeback since their subunit debut in July 2020 with the hit mini album “Monster.” That release quickly gained praise for its bold concept, striking visuals, and experimental sound, establishing the pair as a formidable unit in the K-pop industry. The title track “Monster” was also a commercial and critical success, showcasing their powerful stage presence and intense chemistry.
Fans have also been eagerly awaiting a follow-up from the duo, and their return couldn’t come at a more exciting time. With their comeback now officially on the horizon, anticipation is also building to see how Irene & Seulgi will evolve their style and sound in this new era.
The announcement also comes amid major transitions within Red Velvet. SM Entertainment recently revealed that Wendy and Yeri have chosen not to renew their contracts with the agency. However, both idols will continue to participate in Red Velvet’s group activities, reassuring fans that the group remains active and united despite changes in individual management.
With Irene & Seulgi’s reunion, fans can also expect a comeback filled with charisma, artistry, and undeniable chemistry. Their return is also set to remind everyone why they remain one of the most iconic and dynamic female duos in K-pop.
May can’t come soon enough—get ready for the return of Monster Queens Irene & Seulgi!
