Lately in 2020, Red Velvet Irene was the focus of a controversy. Rumor has it that Irene was verbally mobbing the stylist she worked with. Irene barely appeared on TV after this annoying incident and left it to time. On the night of December 31st, Irene was in front of the camera with her friends from the Red Velvet band for the promotional video of the concert “SM TOWN LIVE Culture Humanity“. This was Irene’s first appearance in a long time that she presented to her fans. As a follow-up to this first re-appearance, Irene released an apology letter on 16 Jan 2021. In overall, the reputation of Irene fell of the cliff and these days it is recuperating fast. For instance, she is up 34 ranks in the Kpop girl idol reputation rankings released today: She was 59th in December 2020 and is 25th in January 2021.
Another good thing about this video is that Wendy, who had a long period of injury and recovery, also got together with her friends from Red Velvet. Previously we were the first Kpop news site to give the news about the fact that she is getting ready for a comeback: red-velvet-wendy-starts-dance-practice. In the video, the members of Red Velvet gather together to make their own tickets with the print of the photo taken in the photo booth. They then decorate the ticket with stone stickers.
Many Red Velvet fans were delighted that Wendy looked healed and Irene reappeared. However, some fans have emphasized that Irene doesn’t look the same after a mobbing discussion with the stylist.
Some netizen views are: “Irene looks a little different” , “I’m glad Irene is back” , “I guess she pretends to be in front of the camera”, “I’m happy to see all Red Velvet members together” , “I think it’s a little early on the screens” …
In our opinion, the new year is the best time to turn a new page. We’re happy that Red Velvet Irene and Wendy are back.
