Red Velvet's Seulgi releases new solo album
Seulgi of K-pop girl group Red Velvet is back with a new solo album, "Accidentally On Purpose," her agency said Monday. "Accidentally On Purpose" consists of six tracks, including the lead track, "Baby, Not Baby." The EP marks the singer's first solo release in over two years since she made her solo debut with the first EP, "28 Reasons," in October 2022. "Baby, Not Baby" is a pop dance song with a dramatic melodic progression, featuring a funky bassline and an energetic electric guitar performance, according to SM Entertainment. Introducing the album, Seulgi shared in a release: "It was fun to explore looks and concepts that contrast with what I've shown in Red Velvet. The character I portray in this album is a mischievous troublemaker who engages in all sorts of eccentric antics." She also expressed her hopes for more musical projects this year. "As I started 2025 by showing a new side of myself through this solo album, I hope it will be a year where I can showcase a lot of good content in the future. Personally, I want to take a lot of (music) lessons and improve myself." (Yonhap)

Red Velvet's Seulgi to return with 2nd solo EP
Seulgi of Red Velvet will return with her second solo EP on March 10, label SM Entertainment said Tuesday. The mini album 'Accidentally On Purpose' will consist of six tracks including the focus track, 'Baby, Not Baby.' It comes about 2 1/2 years after her solo debut EP '28 Reasons,' which topped the iTunes Top Albums Chart in 30 regions and sold approximately 184,000 copies in the first week, the fifth-most for a K-pop solo female singer at the time. She has teased her solo effort with a mysterious teaser photo earlier this month in time for her birthday. The singer is also slated to release an album as a subunit with group member Irene by June. The duo put out the EP 'Monster' in 2020 and became the first K-pop girl group subunit to sell over 100,000 units in the first week. Fantasy Boys will visit two cities in Japan for concerts next month, said agency Pocket Doll Studio Tuesday. The band of ten will perform twice each in Osaka and Tokyo, on March 7 and 9, respectively. The two-stop live show precedes the group's first studio album in the country, 'Shine The Way,' due out on March 12. The album will include 10 songs fronted by a song of the same title. Hikaru and Hikari translated the lyrics of 'Fantasy' and 'I'll Be,' two of the new songs that will be part of the upcoming LP. The band officially debuted in Japan in June last year with the EP, 'Make a Fantasy.'
