Red Velvet's Irene And Seulgi Announce Their Comeback With New EP TILT
Last Updated:
After the success of Monster, which topped various Korean and iTunes charts, the anticipation for TILT is extremely high.
Red Velvet's Irene and Seulgi are finally making a comeback. The duo recently announced their new EP, TILT, is going to be released on May 26. Irene and Seulgi will collaborate for this EP five years after their debut, Monster, was released in 2020. On Wednesday, their agency, SM Entertainment, announced that the new album will be available to stream from 6 PM KST across all streaming platforms. The agency also revealed that the EP will contain six songs, including the title track, TILT.
Each track in the album carries a strong message of breaking away from constraints and finding balance in moments of instability. After the massive success of Monster, which topped various Korean and iTunes charts, the anticipation for TILT is extremely high. Red Velvet's social media accounts posted a teaser following the announcement of Irene and Seulgi's new EP. The video features striking hues in a black, white, and red combination.
Both Irene and Seulgi debuted in 2014 with the K-pop group Red Velvet. Under SM Entertainment, Red Velvet initially had four members—Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, and Joy. Later in 2015, the group became a five-member group as they introduced Yeri. Their debut single, Happiness, was a massive hit, and since then they have released multiple chart-topping songs, including Psycho, Red Flavor, Feel My Rhythm, and others.
Red Velvet is known for their experimental take, as the 'red" side often focuses on electronic and funk music, whereas the 'velvet" side experiments with 90s R&B, ballads, and hip-hop.
In 2020, their agency, SM Entertainment, confirmed the group would be divided into sub-units. While Irene and Seulgi formed the first sub-unit, Wendy and Joy began their solo careers in 2021. Later in 2022, Seulgi debuted as a solo artist as she released her first EP, 28 Reasons. In 2024, Irene started her solo career with Like a Flower.
Following their second EP, the K-pop idols are set to go on their next tour, Balance, in June. The tour will begin with a two-day concert in Seoul. It will stopover at several cities, including Tokyo, Bangkok, Taipei, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur, among others.
