A post on the Korean online community theqoo titled “What Red Velvet Did When They Didn’t Like the Year-End Styling” is garnering widespread attention, revealing a fun behind-the-scenes story about the group’s outfit approval process.
According to the post, the incident occurred during a year-end phase, a time when most performers appear in glamorous and elaborate outfits. In contrast, Red Velvet’s style reportedly looked unusually strange, immediately catching fans’ attention.
Seulgi later explained that the controversial outfit originally included a headband. After seeing it, the members quickly reached a consensus on this “this absolutely cannot pass.” Instead of rejecting it outright, they decided on a subtle strategy.
When sending photos for final approval to senior staff, members pose intentionally extremely sad expressionshoping that their dissatisfaction was conveyed unmistakably through their faces alone. After fans heard this anecdote, many wondered how bad the style must be. That curiosity was answered when the original photo of the outfit surfaced online, prompting immediate reactions of understanding.
Netizens’ reactions
As the post climbed the charts on theqoo, comments poured in, many criticizing the styling team while laughing at the members’ exaggerated expressions:
- “They’re really bad at their jobs. If it hadn’t been Red Velvet, it could have been a disaster.”
- “Wow…did they completely lose their mind with that style?”
- “This is really fun.”
- “The corners of his mouth are about to hit the floor… I’m crying.”
- “LOL this is killing me.”
- “That headband is insanely tacky, but their expressions are too cute.”
Fans praised Red Velvet for handling the situation intelligently and as a team, while also expressing disbelief that such a stylistic choice had been proposed in the first place.
