Five years. That’s how long ReVeluvs have waited for Red Velvet’s Irene & Seulgi to join forces as a sub-unit again! This dynamic duo is officially making their comeback with a brand-new mini album, set to drop this May. SM Entertainment confirmed the news, and fans? Absolutely losing it, especially knowing they’re capable of serving sassy, confident, and sexy bops.

Their 2020 sub-unit debut “Monster” was everything: a track and music video filled with scary but elegant vibes. They brought intensity, slick moves, and an edgy sound that felt unique to them as a duo. Since then, both idols have been dropping their solo work mini-albums and have released music with Red Velvet. But the duo’s absence has been felt in fans’ playlists!

The duo’s return news comes amid changes in Red Velvet as a quintet. On April 3, 2025, it was confirmed that members Yeri and Wendy decided to leave the group’s company, SM Entertainment, for their solo careers but will continue to be part of Red Velvet. Despite the bittersweet change, the Irene and Seulgi comeback marks a big moment for fans.
