Yeri of Red Velvet brought joy to fans worldwide by confirming the group‘s plans to release their third full-length studio album later this year. During a live broadcast on August 1 to celebrate the group’s anniversary, their maknae excitedly made the announcement, ending years of anticipation.
Since debuting nine years ago, Red Velvet has become one of SM Entertainment’s most successful acts, breaking numerous records with their unique sound and vibrant visuals. However, despite their consistent success, the group’s discography has only housed two full studio albums since 2014. This fact has not sat well with the group’s passionate fan base.
