Following up on their release of individual teaser images for new girl group Red Velvet, SM Entertainment has come out with a group teaser. This is ahead of the group’s official debut on August 4, when the group’s digital single “Happiness” hits online music stores.

Red Velvet is SM’s first new group since the wildly popular EXO, which debuted roughly two years ago. The group consist of members Seulgi, Irene, Wendy, and Joy, previously a part of SM’s pre-debut team SMRookies.

The name Red Velvet symbolizes the combination of sexiness and power (red) and a feminine softness (velvet).

I am so not here for this. #justiceforf(x)

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

can I get some names because they don't look like any other pictures I have seen of them. And have they introduced the new girl? or did they just throw her in and expect people to wait?

L-R: Joy, Irene, Seulgi, Wendy

And yeah there's no info on Joy so far

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

This is a cute photo!

[megustaelmoney.livejournal.com]

i know that we all joke about how some idols look the same but they seriously do what the fuck

[waterpulse.livejournal.com]

Agreed. That similar makeup/hair theme they have going isn't helping either.

Sexiness? Maybe SM is aiming for Sistar. That could be good, actually, we know Suelgi and Irene can pull that off.

TBQH I love basic/messy shit, and SM never fails me when it comes to that so I'm here for this group. But what I'm nhf is these girls looking all alike. This could literally be the same girl making 4 different faces. I don't even want to hear it's the hair color/ outfits because when SNSD debuted they all had more or less the same hair, but where differentiable.

[initialc.livejournal.com]

I think they are really cute. Not sure if I see the sexiness yet, but I love the colors.

[ultrabookworm.livejournal.com]

You're seriously so fast op! Anyways this is a cute pic and I hope their song is good. Though the yelling in the teaser didn't sound good.

Also that's their explanation for the name? That's dumb tbh

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

not really that fast, the teaser pic had been floating around for like 1 hour, i just needed an article to go with it lol

[squeedunk.livejournal.com]

I love it. I am so excited for this. The timing is so shit and they're going to get so much hate, so boo SM, but I've been waiting so long for the new SM girl group and I am here to stan, bb.

Why no promotion for Joy, though? Everyone else got some SM Rookie time.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

on the released pictures they look like 4 dofferent versions of the same people.

[tree-star123.livejournal.com]

pretty much this. the one at the right end looks like jessica

The name Red Velvet symbolizes the combination of sexiness and power (red) and a feminine softness (velvet).

[4minutesluts.livejournal.com]

i fucking love the vid this is from

[soyogi.livejournal.com]

not feeling this only because of my bitterness toward SM and their treatment of f(x). sucks for these girls though, such poor timing. I just hope that their debut song is good. I'll probably end up liking them later in the year, it's just too soon right now.

that said, they're pretty cute. very SM. none of them stand out to me though.

[whysojaelous.livejournal.com]

These girls are so safe and nonthreatening looking, they'll do great in Korea. Joy's the prettiest and the other three look like triplets. If it wasn't for the different hair colors, I wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

[4minutesluts.livejournal.com]

yeah it's like a group full of yoonas & seohyuns

[amandaplan.livejournal.com]

i like the blue crown. im not feeling the overall color palette for this concept so far.

[celyn-jo.livejournal.com]

They look the same with each other other.
They look different from their teaser pictures.
They look pretty, but generic prettiness is what they have.

Somehow, they also remind me of f(x).

[ridzithenerd.livejournal.com]

yeah, all the bright colors and pastels and Seulgi's hair in her solo picture reminds me of Krystal's choppy yellow dip dye.

[koushiba.livejournal.com]

Still not sure how to feel :/ they're all very pretty and I'm not gonna lie I always end up biased towards SM groups but I don't feel excited this time around. watch me absolutely love them come debut.

[allegsiseu.livejournal.com]

that was me about exo. the number of teased turned me off at first, but then history, what is love and the showcase happened and i was like ok i'm ready

too bad that group became a mess so quickly

[mangotae.livejournal.com]

bitter f(x) stans, i'm sorry, but ya'll need to dismiss ya'llselves

anyways, i'm loving this concept, bright, poppy, i love it, lol @ the description of their name

my only problem...they look so similar...but to be honest i'm just waiting to know who's my funny chick so i can stan her

[squeedunk.livejournal.com]

smaller groups tend to have members with more personality across the board, because there's less of a place to hide, but then you have the anomalies like 15& where one member is doing all the heavy lifting, so ????

tbh I'm hoping Seulgi is the most charismatic one
she's a hot momma and she reminds me of Sohee

[allegsiseu.livejournal.com]

they don't even look the same, y'all trippin

i am ready to stan, although i don't like even numbered groups

[ultrabookworm.livejournal.com]

1. [+159, -11] Veil yourselves and go back in

2. [+109, -9] The name itself already sounds like failure, it's so hard to pronounce

3. [+68, -8] Red Velvet;;; what kind of name is that

4. [+44, -21] I guess we will get to witness the first time a girl group fails from SM

5. [+13, -6] Failure... average faces with no individuality, average talent... I wish SM would stop releasing factory punch out idols and focus on breeding character

1. [+5,456, -167] Why not just focus on SNSD and f(x) more...

2. [+4,109, -167] The members all looked pretty and innocent but very similar as well. I hope they're not just a visual but talented group as well, although the chances of that are low.

3. [+3,345, -117] Saw the teaser.. and for a group from SM, I'm not really anticipating anything.

4. [+2,901, -102] From the teaser alone ㅜㅜ I think they have a long way to catch up to their unnis

5. [+475, -14] People think the teaser looks like an Everland ad

6. [+450, -14] Who named them Red Velvet ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+414, -37] Absolute proof that they're throwing out f(x) ㅋㅋㅋ Soshi's been off the rocker for a while and SM's obviously throwing out SuJu and SHINee to just invest completely in this group and EXO

8. [+386, -13] Put the veil back on....


What do they mean by veil? Is that in the lyrics or something?

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

if you saw the title of the korean articles [which netizenbuzz also translated] you can see it says that sm unveiled the new group, hence telling them to veil them back. ^^

[kamoku-ayame.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's just me but I can actually tell the 4 girls apart?
It's hard enough being a girl in kpop so I hope they'll do well

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

you're not alone. they all look different to me

[porcupinegloves.livejournal.com]

i like this sailor outfits much more than the cheerleader ones they were wearing in the mv teaser

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

I just need them to be good performers.

Watching f(x) perform pains me bec it always makes me think back to those girls who danced with so much gusto under the rain. The industry has a sad way of making even the most enthusiastic performers become so jaded years later.

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

i let the longest sigh at the second part of your comment :(

[eijem-sawada.livejournal.com]

I can't identify my own bias in that pic.

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

SM I'm gonna need you to dye their hair or cut someone's short, cuz the 2 in white look sooooo much alike. JFC
Idk idk

Scratch that, the 3 to the right...the look like triplets. The one in the green crown, she doesn't look like the other 3 to me.

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Okay, without reading any comments, the two in the middle look alike and two at the end look alike.....errrr....maybe that's just me.
