Red Velvet Are Back Together on August 3 and Different Agencies Could Not Stop Them
'Velvet Summer' arrives August 3, their first full-group release in over two years. the members are now spread across separate agencies and showed up anyway — right around their debut anniversary, no less.
august 3, 6 p.m. KST. all five of them. 'Velvet Summer.' nobody has slept properly since the first teaser went up at midnight on july 6 and frankly that includes us.
this is red velvet's first full-group comeback in over two years — the last one was the 2024 mini 'Cosmic' — and it's landing right as the group rolls up on twelve years since debut. TWELVE. the ones who invented the whole red-versus-velvet dual-concept thing have returned to demonstrate it in person.
the part that actually gets people in the chest: irene, seulgi, wendy, joy and yeri are signed to different agencies now. they could have quietly let the group become a fond memory that fans repost every august. instead they scheduled a comeback. that is a choice, and it's a loving one.
the mini runs five tracks led by 'Surfin' Boy,' with the physical editions split across 'High Tide' and 'Big Wave' versions — and the teaser rollout has been drip-feeding mood clips and photo sets through late july like a slow-motion attack on our composure.
separate agencies, same group chat, one summer mini. everything is fine. we are completely fine. 💅

seventeen's dino dropped 'LIKE IT' and the choreo is doing NUMBERS on my sanity
the group's resident dance machine went solo and turned the entire mv into one long flex
dino basically said 'you like it? good.' and then proceeded to body an entire music video by himself. 'LIKE IT' is out and the man is DANCING dancing.
the facts: it's a solo release from seventeen's maknae, it dropped august 24 at 6pm KST, and the mv is a straight-up showcase for the footwork he's been quietly hoarding since debut.
we always knew he could move — he's dino — but there's something a little unhinged about the youngest just deciding to out-perform everyone on his own solo. the confidence is EARNED, though.
new comfort choreo unlocked. i'll be rewatching until i can do exactly zero percent of it.
