[공지] 레드벨벳 The Velvet 앨범의 음원 및 M/V 공개 일정이 보다 높은 완성도를 위해 부득이하게 하루 뒤인 3월 17일로 연기 되었습니다. 여러분의 양해를 부탁 드립니다.

What a fcking mess.

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

are dots ratings really that good? that's a bit surprising considering the quality of the show... (its not The Worst Thing Ever but nothing deserving of "one of the highest rated shows in Korea in years" imo)

😡 😡 😡

I feel like SM's IT department is run by tumbeasts.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Let's be positive... two more days... I wonder why they postponed it, they haven't given any reason yet?
It feels like Mr Mr again, it was such a mess and I really hope for Red Velvet's sake that it won't be like this

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

wow that really sucks it was like only 10 minutes before release too

[pippopippo.livejournal.com]

mess

[withcream.livejournal.com]

Smh my tl is a riot rn.

They mentioned earlier in their V app that there's a little bit of choreo for OOTN so I'm wondering if they'll revise it and add more moves but idt they even have time to practice anymore

[cindersam.livejournal.com]

lol at their mic stand choreography. hopefully it turns out to be interesting.

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

i wouldn't be surprised if this had to do with the music video quality. the teaser yesterday was so bad maybe they didn't process it right lol

[achan123.livejournal.com]

hmm
you might be onto something....

[a-cheshire-grin.livejournal.com]

Please tell me they didn't delete the MV...again! -.-

SM decided to postponed the release date for more completion of 4 versions of title track 'One Of These Nights' https://t.co/RBUC5KT5sN (https://t.co/RBUC5KT5sN)

apparently it has something to do with the other versions of the title track.

like it's just a twenty four hour delay so it's whatever in retrospect but they could've announced it sooner, lol. ten minutes before the originally planned drop. typical.

[edanz-castle.livejournal.com]

Do we really need 4 versions of 1 title song? -smh-

[chastainy.livejournal.com]

wish theyd just scrap this soon to be flop album, i want automatic ver 2 not yawn generation B-Sides!

[pradapop.livejournal.com]

this is why i'm so anxious to hear the full title track already. i really can't stand slow songs and it's not like they remixed the other versions it's just acoustic and a piano one which is just ...

[kamoku-ayame.livejournal.com]

I wonder who screwed up this time. Anyways people shouldn't worry too much about DotS. Those OSTs aren't going anywhere for at least a month. Luckily for SM, OSTs can't win music shows.

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

plus red velvet's biggest competition for their first week of nominations would be lee hi and hyomin and they'd easily be able to scrape a sweep week of wins based off of fresh digital + physical sales alone. it'll be fine lol

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

wtf happened lmao

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

SME do not mess with my babies comeback!!!!

if they are "fixing" the songs doesn't that they have to redo all the physical CD's?

[moomoo-moonstar.livejournal.com]

There's no way they'd take that big a hit on the CDs, surely? Not only that but it'd take way more than a day to re-press them and ship them off to every major music store in Korea. I'm guessing they're postponing them to get the digital releases cleaned up but the CDs will be the same as they were. Unless they made some catastrophic screwup with the liner art or something.

Either way, what a mess.

[sethelaezekiel.livejournal.com]

im trying to be positive about the album but honestly us velvet stans don't deserve an album full of boring ballads

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

why does this always happen to the girl groups why can sm ruin shinees or suju's comebacks smh

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

Tbf this kind of happened with CMB where they dropped the title but not everything else?

[xonatejennyxoxo.livejournal.com]

I just don't get how on earth they announced this only 10 minutes before the release when RV did a V App literally hours ago saying to look forward to the release & all of the albums would already be on the shelves in music stores.

Add the fact that they're supposed to be on Hyun Moo's breakfast show in 5 hours to talk about the album & their Weekly Idol episode airs today as well, and this just becomes even more ridiculous.

They've been preparing for this comeback for months, I don't get why they didn't factor all of this in before (plus how much 'fixing' could they even do in a day?)

[moomoo-moonstar.livejournal.com]

I kinda hope we find out what ACTUALLY happened sometime, because it must be a hell of a screwup for them to can the release mere minutes before it was due to hit. And like you said, right after they'd already done the V App lead-up and everything. Feels like heads are gonna roll somewhere.

[parkjsun.livejournal.com]

Ughhhhh I was so looking forward to this today...
This promotion cycle is looking kinda messy and I'm so nhf SM to play my bbs like that >:(

Fix up that album cover too while you're at it!!!

[springsky.livejournal.com]

Nooooooooo!! These remixes better be amazing.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

This is kind of messy but I dont think it's as big of a deal as people are making it

[aleksu7.livejournal.com]

Please don't let it be all ballads, that's all.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

This is kind of messy but I dont think it's as big of a deal as people are making it
