Red Velvet, a popular South Korean girl group, debuted on August 1, 2014, with their first single “Happiness.” At that time, the group consisted of four members: Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, and Joy. Later, in March 2015, Yeri joined the group, making it a five-member lineup.
Red Velvet’s debut was significant because they became the first K-pop girl group to chart a debut single on the Billboard World Digital Songs chart, where “Happiness” peaked at number four. This achievement marked a strong start for the group, which has since become known for its unique blend of pop and R&B styles, often referred to as “Red” and “Velvet” concepts.
Over the years, Red Velvet has released numerous hit songs, such as “Ice Cream Cake,” “Red Flavor,” and “Psycho,” and has won several prestigious awards, solidifying their position as one of the leading K-pop groups globally.
Today, Red Velvet continues to inspire fans with their music and performances, celebrating milestones like their tenth anniversary in 2024.
