Following the announcement, anticipation grew as Red Velvet’s social media accounts shared the much-coveted teaser program. The concept’s black-and-white aesthetic, interspersed with delicate blooming floral motifs, heightened anticipation for his solo debut.
Since then, recent teaser photos and the “Mood Clip” video have further solidified the buzz around the release.
The newly released teaser images evoke an eerie, ethereal aesthetic, blending dark romance with serene, otherworldly vibes. One stunning image shows Irene emerging from a lake, her hair wet and clinging to her face, as she gazes intently into the camera, exuding a mysterious and sensual allure.
Another powerful photo captures her submerged underwater, curled up in a pose that adds an enigmatic, dreamlike quality to the images.
The “Mood Clip” video is equally compelling. It shows Irene falling into a body of water and then strangely finding herself in an open field, all filtered in black and white to enhance the haunting beauty of the scene.
