Fans of Red Velvet went 'Psycho' from the SM Entertainment girl group's release last December, but their latest subunit formation did not help stop them from getting even crazier.
Put Irene and Seulgi from Red Velvet together and the outcome is obvious - Red Velvet's latest subunit is an indestructible duo. They have just unleashed the Monster with their first mini album which is now available on all major streaming platforms, and even broke a few records within a day.
Upon the release of the first two teaser videos for the music video of their title track 'Monster', Red Velvet fans have expressed their anticipation over social media while counting down to the release of the official music video.
